WILL JAYHAWK LINE HOLD STIFF CHARGES?
Coach Mosse Iuadvertantly Drops a Small "Worry Bug"
RIGHT SIDE UNDULY WEAK.
Frank Giving Men Especial Attention; Hamilton Looking for Big Crowds, Reserves Sections.
How will the Jayhawker's line hold against the charges of an opposing team? To those on the inside this question is now giving no little trouble and is one that will not receive a satisfactory answer before the St. Marys game Saturday afternoon. While the Varsity has held the freshmen so far in their scrimmages and have prevented their scoring through the medium of line plunges, it leaked out this morning that Coach Mosse was giving especial attention to the right side of the line.
Yesterday afternoon Coach Frank spent the entire first part of the day's practice in giving instructions to the men who make up the right side of the line. While the men understand the rudiments of the game they are rather slow in understanding the art of blocking and holding their hand. Both Coach Frank are both giving the mn who play these positions, extra practice.
The freshmen were given a rest last night and the scrummage took place between the first and second varsity teams. The playing showed up even on both sides and the chances for the first teams look exceedingly bright. Several of the men are showing up well in kicking and though this side of the game probably will not be as important a factor under the new rules as it has been previously, the Varsity will be ready with the goods when called upon. Householder is gradually working into shape, while Detwiler is picking up in the art daily. This chunky half is developing into a mighty valuable all-around player and will no doubt be used to advantage in the coming contests. The entire squad is anxious to get into the St. Marys fracas and show the University rooters some real lively playing.
Reserved Sections for Rooters and Girls
Manager W. O. Hamilton is planning on entertaining more rooters on McCook Field this year than have previously turned out for the annual fall contests. With new bleachers around three sides of the gridiron, arrangements are being made to give the fans the best accommodations possible. Two sections of the north bleachers will be reserved entirely for the use of Doldle's "Fighting 500," while the section just east

will be set apart for the use of the ladies or ladies with escorts. The remainder of the north bleachers will be thrown open. The entire south and west bleacher seats will be reserved for anyone who desires to pay the small extra fee.
Probably for some of the games a part of the south seats will be reserved for the supporters of the visiting team. The space will be set aside, however, and notice given before the game. In order that as large a crowd of rosters as possible will attend the first game of the season, the price of admission to fifty cents and that of reserved seats to seventy five cents, for the Kansas-St Mary struggle. He expects a large aggregation of roots on the bleacher seats Saturday afternoon.
St. Mary's squad will mix with Campbell College eleven this afternoon. The proposed scrimage with Haskell has been called off and the Varsity and Freshmen will clash on McCook at 5 o'clock.
ATHLETICS DON'T HURT
Pennsylvania Professor Sayi Athletics are not Harmful to College Men
R. Tait McKenzie, M. D., professo- sity of Philadelphia is quoted as follows:
"The young athlete is incapable by voluntary effort of permanently damaging a sound heart. He will fall exhausted or give up the contest long before the danger limit is reached. . .
"The whole question of athletics cannot, however, be confined to the compilation of the statistics of injury. Safety and sanity can be bought at too high a price. Nelson did not do the safe thing when he refused to retreat at Copenhagen or when he took his small fleet into the uncharted Bay of Aboukir; and while we strive to abate abuses and dangers, we should not lose sight of what athletics contribute both physically and morally to the education of our youth."
Coach Frank explained his frequent use of the phrase "kill 'em" to the squad last night as meaning to kill the play, not the opposing players.
SCRIMMAGE NOTES
Franz Weidemann rather too portly for the sportive game of leapfrog.
It is a little early in the season for the human monstrosity known as the "educated toe" to appear on the campus.
Chico Davis has obtained a pair of crutches and will soon be able to get down on the field again. "Hard Luck," however, has decreed that he must stay on the sidelines as his fractured knee will not permit any more playing for him this season.
WICHITA JUDGE SPOKE
College Education is Sometimes Overrated. He Tells
Y. M.C.A.
"It is possible to overvalue a university education," declared Judge J N. Haymaker of Wichita at the regular Sunday meeting of the Y. M. C A. "Any of us can obtain a liberal education without a university training if we have studious habits."
"The most important thing for us as young men is to form good characters. However, do not think that I do not appreciate a college education. If I did not I would not now be making a sacrifice in order to send my son to college. What I mean is that I would rather have him come home with a good character, the imprint of the Y. M. C. A., than to come back with a grat deal of book knowledge and outward polish.

FIFTEEN MEN ANSWER FIRST TRACK CALL
Cinder Artists Train For Coming Meets; More Men Urged Out
About fifteen men reported for track practice yesterday afternoon on McCook field and Captain Patterson under the direction of Coach Hamilton, started the men off on their respective events. While this was a fairly good showing for the first call, there are still a good many men, who will be needed next spring, wandering around the campus.
The outdoor track season will commence October 19 with a large individual meet. At this time all the students of the University will be premitted to enter and the winners of each event will receive a trophy cup. This offer should bring out much promising material for the 1913 track team. All men who have ever participated in any track work or those whose inclinations run along this line, should don suits and start training for this meet.
On November 9 a second meet will be held. This will be strictly an interclass meet and will be the first of several which Coach Hamilton expects to feature as part of the year's work. The men are trying out every afternoon on McCook for places in these coming meets and both Hamilton and Captain Patterson urgently request all men who are interested to come out.
STIEHM KEEPS SMILING
Victory Looms Bright on Corn-
husker's 1912 Horizon;Seven
"N" Men Returned
Coach Stiehm, head mentor of the Cornhusker football team, is beginning to take an optimistic view of the Nebraskans' chances for a victorious eleven for the coming season. Seven. "N." men have returned to add strength to the squad and with a husky bunch of last year's frshmen team eagerly awaiting to show their mettle, Stiehm has reason to put on a "smile that won't come off."
The Varsity "hopes" are taking to practice like ducks to water, and with Owen Frank, last year's whirlwind halfback, and Rathbone, the plunging fullback of 1910, to help the head coach in his work, the University of Nebraska expects to turn out a better team than has represented the school for years. Sixty-five mn worked out in the first long practice of the season last week. Purdy and Gibson, two of last year's men, appeared on the field for the first time and greatly raised the spirits of the bleacherites. With the return of Potter all of the old men in school with the exception of Hornburger will have reported and the smile of the fans will be almost winkless.
About the only worry that remains with the Cornhuskers is the poor showing made by the freshmen. Very few of the first year men have appeared on the field so far and the chance for a presentable bunch of tyros is very slim. A "bear" has shambled forth from the Nebraska camp in the form of not enough heavy linesmen to make a good appearance, but in all probability Steilm will have as heavy a bunch of huskies as have previously represented Nebraska.
The prospects for an excellent band this year are bright. The band though changed to low pitched instruments, will be balanced, composed of about thirty-five members. The final line-up will be decided upon on Wednesday night at a rehearsal at 7:30 o'clock in Fraser Hall.
UNIVERSITY BAND TO BE
BEST EVER THIS YEAR.
"The band needs two good drummers, bass and snare," deliared Director McCanles this morning. "Students in the University playing these instruments and wishing to have a place can try out any time before the final line-up. All students are urged to try out, because the band this year is expected to be the best that the University has yet had."

ATHLETIC WOMEN ARE IDEAL WIVES
Dr. Johnson Says Athletics Are a Necessary Part of Feminine Education
When picking a wife take the athletic girl. This is the advice given by Dr. M. L. Johnson, dean of the women's department of physical education of the University of Kansas.
"Athletics for women are as necessary, if not even more so, than for men," declared Dr. Johnson. "The ideal American house-wife is the one who has entered into athletics during her girlhood. The girl who never did anything more violent than spend an evening at a dance is the one who latter in life breaks down when confronted by the cares of a family, and generally has a nagging pevish disposition towards her husband, who merely lays it to her advance in years.
"Girls whether they intend to marry or not should enter into athletics as much as possible until they reach their thirties. The sport participated in should be one which strengthens and at the same time gives no opportunities for incurring injurious strains. It should be one of the girls' choosing and one in which she will take an active interest.
"Athletics for women are not only beneficial in developing their physical side but are also beneficial as a tonic for nervousness. No woman is ever afflicted with acute nerveness who has the advantage of a good physical education. At the same time a good training of this kind teaches a woman the art of submissiveness, as no person can play any game without submitting to many things of a somewhat disagreeabl nature. In addition to this are the little benefits such as increase in grace, improvement in figure and complexion. In fact if a woman once takes up athletics she will never regret it."
HONEST, IT'S EASY FOR US
To run a newspaper, all a fellow has to do is be able to write poems, discuss the tariff and money question,Umprise a baseball game, report a wedding, saw wood, describe a fire so that the readers will shed their wraps, make $1 do the work of $10, shine at a dance, measure calico, abuse liquor habit, test whisky, subscribe to charity, go without meals, attack free silver, wear diamonds, invent advertisements, sneer at snobbery, overlook scandal, appraise babies, delight pumpkin raisers, minister to the afflicted, heal the disgruntled, fight to a finish, set type, mold opinions, sweep office, speak at the prayer meetings and stand in with everybody and everything.
This isn't half of it either. We have to side in with the faculty, agree with the students that the faculty members are a lot of dead ones; run jokes for some people and explain to others why we print such trash; keep enough religious news going to satisfy the Preachers and still not offend the Laws; explain to some indignant contributor why his poem wasn't on the front page and in general, keep everybody in a good humor till they pay their subscription. In the meantime we all carry 15 hours work and sometimes study. —Drake Live Delphic.
THE REASON FOR MT. OREAD
Prof. J. E. Todd, Explains How the Famous Hill Happened to be.
Just why Mt. Oread is Mt. Oread was explained by J. E. Todd, assistant professor of geology and mining, today. "Mt. Oread is a hard strata of rock which has resisted the wear and wash of the water," declared Professor Todd. "This elevation has ben left by the Kansas river and the Wakarusa creek. That it is not an upheaval of rock is shown from the strata of limestone which extend to Blue Mound and Lecompton.
"The wearing away has been of recent years, perhaps in the carboniferous age of thirty or forty thousand and years ago, from which the whole process of wearing away began."
