METHODISTS CANCEL GAME WITH KANSAS
Coach Scherer Sends in Contracts Unsigned to Coach Hamilton
FEARED A SEVERE DRUBBING
Weak Bakerites Withdraw From Game With Jayhawkers Because of Lack of Material.
Coach Scherer of Baker University yesterday canceled the Kansas-Baker game that was to have been played on McCook field, Saturday, October 12. Word was received in the afternoon by Coach W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics, that in accordance with decision reached by the Board of Governors of Baker University, the Methodists would not play their scheduled game with the Javhawkers.
The contracts for playing the game have been in the hands of Coach Scherer since last June, but the decision to withdraw from the game was kept silent until yesterday. A letter accompanying the unsigned contracts gave as the main reason for calling off the game that the Bakertes were unable to compete successfully in the Kansas elite tournament of the Methodists' best men have left the school this year and the material left was so poor that Scherer did not wish to risk a hard drubbing to his men.
In his letter Mr. Scherer apologized for not notifying the University of Kansas authorities sooner saying that though he had reached the decision of canceling the game a month ago, he did not wish to take the responsibility on himself and had awaited the meeting of the Board of Governors. Baker also has objected always to playing under the Missouri Valley rules and as the Jayhawkers could not play under any other rules, this point had always been a bone of contention. Three of Baker's best men on last year's eleven have entered the freshman class of the University of Kansas this year.
Another game will be scheduled October 12 to take the place of the canceled one. The opponent in this game will be announced in a few days.

PIGSKINMENFORMCLUB
Prospective Jayhawk Stars Res Reuse to Ruin The Diges-
tions
Insmuch as the Missouri Valley Conference rulings will not allow any school or university in the conference to keep up a training table, the prospective members of the Jayahawk Varsity have started a club of their own.
About twenty of the pig skin chasers have organized and are eating at 1328 Ohio. While they have not the faculty supervision that was given the old time training tables, they, however, have the privilege of ordering their own meals and no prospective gridiron star is running the risk of ruining his chances and stomach by eating poor food.
More recruits are joining the club daily and until the Varsity is 'picked there will no doubt be a full board on them.' Mrs. Winey it matron of the club.

WILL THE FORWARD PASS BE A FAGTOR?
Under New Rules Play May be Used For Any Distance
What part will the revised forward pass play in the Jayhawker's offense this season? This is a question which is receiving much attention among the dopesters and other followers of the Kansas aggregation.
Distance
Under the old rule the pass could not be made over a distance of twenty yards from the scrimmage line and could not be used over an opponent's goal line. This year the forward pass can be made to any distance and used to throw over the goal line of the defense. At first glance it would seem that a team using the forward pass would have an immense advantage over the team not relying on it. This would certainly be the case if it were not allowing for teams to make the necessary pass. It is a problem which can only be decided by actual practice. This season will probably bring forth two styles of teams, one using straight methods of offense and the other relying mainly on the revised forward pass.
It is too early to tell which method Kansas will ultimately use, but it is certain that the coaches will give the forward pass a thorough trial. Last night's practice was devoted mainly to accustoming the men to accurately handle the ball. The men as a whole showed up poorly on the longer passes and the ends seemed inclined to hesitate passing the old twenty yard mark. However they will undoubtedly have been very hard when given a chance at flipping and catching the pig skin and it seems certain that some man will be chosen for the squad on his ability alone to make long accurate passes.
Whether this new style will be popular with the rooters is another question. While it will do away with some of the scrimmage work it will nevertheless give a chance for some pretty open field plays.
KEEP YOUR EYE ON K. U.
ORCHARD, DEXPENSES EXPERT
Walter Wellhouse, State Horticultur ist Urges Farmers to Follow Methods Used by K. U. Men
That poor fruit would have been impossible in Kansas had the farmers followed the methods used in the state University experimental orchard. Waters House, secretary of the Kansas State Horticultural Society.
"This certainly shows what a little care given the orchard will do," declared Mr. Wollhouse after a recent visit. "The rows of Gano, Ben Davis, York Imperial, Mammoth Black Twig and Winesap were loaded with apples with scarcely a blemish to be found. Professor Hunter and his assistants have certainly prevented any damage from coddling moth, curculio, seab or worms during planting. It is assuredly a good object lesson in orchard treatment and it would pay anyone interested in apple growing to see this orchard and talk with Professor Hunter in regard to the manner of treatment."
The stock consists of a forest of beautiful cut flowers. Mr. Klein stated that he was going to cater especially to the decorating of Fraternity and Club Houses. He is also extending hearty welcome to all students. Call and see the beautiful stock—Adv.

SEASONED STARS OUT FOR FRESHMEN TEAM
Jay Bond Expects a Team That Will be a Record Breaker This Year
Judging from the number of men who turned out last night in answer to Coach Bond's call for candidates for the freshman team, there should be no lack of material from which to pick next year's Varsity team. The freshman team this season promises to be the strongest in years.
Six men reported who are at present considered Varsity material. Each have had from two to three years' experience on college teams. Among them are three Baker stars who played on the team which held Kansas in a 0 to 0 contest last season. They are: Dalton, who made a name for himself in college circles as fullback, Capps half back and Braden a husky tackle, all fast aggressive players.
In addition to these, there are Bishop, who played for two years with Fairmont, bottomly, a College of Emporia player and Priest of the State Normal. Besides these, fifty husky youngsters who dope to develop into Varsity material were out for work.
C. Reber a Kansas City track athlete is also expected to make a good showing.
STUDENT TICKET SALE
STREADILY INCREASES
Enterprise Booklets Are Going Out Fast For First Week of School; Sale Over 400.
Mr. E. E. Brown, purchasing agent of the University, when interviewed in regard to the sale of the Student Enterprise tickets, reported a sale that looks very encouraging, especially for this time of year. More than 400 tickets have been sold up to date and the increase in sale is keeping up with the enrolling of new students. Last year less than fifty tickets were sold previous to the first football game.

OREAD HIGHS TO PLAY
SOCCER THIS YEAR
Athletics Have Been Added to Curriculum by Professor Trettein- Soccer The First Sport.
Professor Trettein of the Oread High School announces his intention of adding athletics to the regular work of the school. To use his words "Athletics are the one thing necessary to a school." The school without athletics is a school without interest to those attending it."
Soccer will be the first sport taken up by the school. The game was chosen on account of its beneficial results which are attained without the usual danger involved in other athletics.
This team when organized if it shows sufficient strength will probably meet the soccer experts of the University who received their education in this sport from mentor Root.
