WHAT KIND OF GAME WILL VARSITY USE?
Coach Mosse Silent Concern ing Style of Play to be Used Saturday
So far no very definite dopes has leaked out from the Kansas camp concerning the style of football to be staged for the benefit of the aspiring Catholics from St. Marys. Only three more practices remain before the first official trial of the 1912 Jayhawker football machine will be held, and as yet nothing very certain has been settled concerning berths and the style of offense for this year's aggregation.
These weighty problems probably will not be decided until after the impending clash. Whether Kansas will play her future games on straight line bucks or the forward pass style of game will be largely settled by Saturday's results. It is likely that Instructor Mosse will give the majority of his "prodigies" a chance to display their wares in the initial performance of the Jayhawk football season and at the same time will test the team in regard to its strength in both styles of play.
For the first time in two weeks Coaches Mosse and Frank gave their men an easy workout, the practice last evening consisting merely of a little work in the handling and breaking up of forward passes. Coach Frank had charge of one squad and Mosse of the other and both were drilled in making passes through the other's opposition. As a whole the workout was not very encouraging. It was marked by more or less fumbling while both lines would be pulled after time mouch would leak through and spoil what might otherwise have been a perfect pass. Part of the afternoon was also spent in illustrating various forms of fake passes.
Several of the men were a little

off last evening and were turned in after a short practice. Neither Burnham nor Weidmann were given much of a work out as both were ragged in their playing.
The final scrimmage will be staged this afternoon at four o'clock when the Freshmen will be given a chance to try their new plays on the varsity's defense.
This will be the last chance for the Bleacherers to see the team in action before the Saturday affair with Quigley's men, as the programme for Friday will probably consist only of a light signal practice.
ABUSED
For More Than 400 Years Football has had Its Knockers
Football always has had its enemies. The oldest attack on the game is disclosed in an ancient book recently discovered in a Holloway gass ret.
In "The Anatomie of Abuses," a work published in 1583, the game is roundly abused. Its author, one Philip Stubbes, describes football as "A bloody and furthering practice."
"For doth not everyone lye in waite for his adversars' war," he argues, "seeking to overthrow him or to pickhe on his nose, though it be upon hard stones? In ditch or dale, in valley or hill, or what place souer it be, he careth not, so he have him down. And he that can serve the most of his fashion he is counted the only fellow, and who but he?"
Football must have been a strenuous pastime in those days.
IN SOCIETY

ATHLETICS A FEATURE
Reorganized Oread Magazine to be a Live Book Full of Live Stories
The staff of the Oread Magazine announces that the athletic department as planned for the reorganized book, will be a big feature this year. In fact this is to be the big department of the whole publication. The size of the book has been enlarged to standard magazine measurements, and full page cuts will be run whenever possible. The book will carry the real live, hot athletic dope from the inside.
The first number which will be out November first will be the football number and will carry a football cover bearing a good old Jayhawk with a knowing smile and talons all sharpened to clean up a whole zoo of Tigers. All of the stories in this issue will be full of college spirit, with college plots and college settings.

"It is our intention," said one of the editors this morning, "to make the magazine a college book, a University of Kansas book. We have met with much encouragement in our plan, from many students. All we want is the support of the students and we will do our best to get out a publication that will concern and touch every man and woman on earth, but will not be a men's magazine nor a women's magazine, but a publication for the whole student body of the University of Kansas."

YOUNG WOMEN WILL TAKE AQUATIC QUIZ
Dr. Johnson to Make Swimming Compulsory; Tennis Tournament Soon
"Every girl desiring credit for freshman and sophomore gym work must first pass a satisfactory swimming quiz." This is the edict issued by Dr. M. L. Johnson, head of the women's department of physical education, to the aspiring girl athletes in the two lower classes. The suggestion that some of the young ladies may be "scared out of their wits" in six feet of water only brings a smile to the face of Dr. Johnson as she tells girls not to worry until the time comes.
At present the tank is being repaired and the aquatic training will not be started until this work is finished. At that time, however, the girls will be given precedent in the use of the tank over the boys and will be allowed it's use three or four days out of each week.
Until the tank is finished most of the time will be spent in playing tennis. This form of exercise is considered to be most advantageous, especially for the development of young women. The court back of Rowland's Book Store will be obtained at once and later in the season a tournament both in doubles and singles will be staged.
At the close of the tennis season volley-ball and basket-ball will be taken up with the regular gym work. The instruction in swimming will be kept up most of the year and a swimming or aquatic meet will be one of the features of the girls' spring work.
A LITTLE SCORE DOPE
"Scores are all going to be big this year, especially ours," said Mosez, when a freshman asked his advice about a guess. "Better make it big. Look how we beat the Freshmen Saturday."
Down at Smith's News Depot They Are All Guessing High on Kansas.
The Freshman gripped his per (self-filler, guaranteed not to leak) and reached for the 170 mark, when Coach Frank brushed his way through the crowd and grabbed for the guess sheet.
Down at Smith's (Carroll's) News Depot the "bugs" were guessing what the total Jayhawk score will be this fall. Pretty nearly everything from 90 to 160 has been taken; Mosse's name was down conservatively opposite 176; Manager Hamilton had his "John Henry" before 185; Bond, he of the twinkling eye and the rogust smile, had predicted 170.
"Let me to it," he growled, and the crowd moved in around him as he took the Freshman's pen and wrote:
"Leonard Frank, 623." Banzai from the crowd.

The shades of night were fasting fast When through a college town there
passed
A youth who wandered all alone
And spoke in muffled monotone:
“6-18-5-26-9-4”
"Oh, stay awhile," a stranger said,
"And when you worn and weary
He only gazed with vacant eye And muttered as he wandered by: "7-11-3-14-2-6."
He strode away in falling night,
And as he disappeared from sight
We heard his distant voice: "I'll be

ST. MARY'S WINS FIRST
Cooper College Defeated by Heavier Catholic Aggregstion 14 to 6
Quigley's athletes opened the season yesterday afternoon on their own field by defeating Cooper*College, 14 to 6. St. Marys was never in danger and scored their first touch down touchdown was captured when Brown of St. Marys intercepted a forward pass and scored.
The Cooper aggregation depended almost entirely on the forward pass making their only touchdown on a long flip. On the other hand the Catholics used almost entirely line bucks and end runs, the light Cooper aggregation being unable to hold them for downs.
This will be the last hard work out for Quigley's squad before they mix with Mosse's pig-skin followers Saturday.
DEFENSE OF OLD TOM.
TRACK
Replying to some pert editors who are poking fun at "Bill" White's horse, Old Tom, behind which Colonel Roosevelt rode in Emporia last week, Mr. White says.
"Old Tom, of course, is no Maud S nor Joe Patchen—for several reasons. But he has the same number of legs attached and his heart is true. He makes no claim to speed; but his carburetter always works and while he has but two cylinders he brings his guests back in one piece and leaves them at home rather than downtown at the undertaker's to be assembled by total strangers into their aliquot parts. What if he isn't speedy; what if his best coat is a mile in fifteen minutes? So far as that is concerned, the pyramids have been four thousand years making a distance that Tom can do in a few desultory minutes, and no one sneers at them. There are too many smart aleks running newspapers who jeer at useful things to raise a laugh. Old Tom may not have a windshield or speedometer. But—what would he do with them? He is fully equipped with a few kind words and a whalebone hip. He will go longer—though phaps not quite so far—on a 40-cent bale of hay than these new fangled vessels of wrath fitted unto destruction will go with a buck

Men Reported to Patterson Last Night
"Track prospects are certainly bright this year," said Captain O. W. Patterson at the conclusion of last night's practice. Nearly twenty-five men reported for the second practice last night and it is expected that at least fifty cinder track aspirants will be out by the end of October, as they must to be shared. October 19 has caused many of the former stars to stretch their legs and wonder if there is any pep left in them.
Beginning next Monday two cross-
country teams will be organized, one
under the leadership of Captain Pat-
ter Johnson, under the leader-
ship of Edwards.
Later on a cross country meet between the two teams will be held and the winners will be rewarded with a big feed.
et of gasoline and a cord of rubber.
Then, of course, there is this important thing to say of Old Tom:
While, of course, it is difficult to get new parts when he breaks, yet after all, he is paid for, and there's no 90-day note turning up every season to make the years a melancholy procession on the other side of the street from the bank. That's not much, perhaps—but still, it's something. Taken up one side and down the other—Old Tom has his good points."—Kansas City Star.
