FROSH DAZE VARSITY WITH MANY PASSES
Pringle Gets Back Into Game
After Two Week's
Light Work
Forward passing was the feature Tuesday on McCook for the Freshmen as they completed nine out of every ten passes attempted in the scrimmage. Fourth place was one forty-yard pass. The air was full of fresh passes and they seemed to daze the first string men. Long ones and short ones, it made no difference. Even the fleet Mandville扣 the locks as should have been.
With all their luck in the passing, the first year men could not go through the line for any material gains, Fringle, big back, who has been on light duty for the past two weeks took part in the evening's clash. He was an up good and dear of the hinging end of all the passes. Knowles who was injured in suit but did not get into real play, he will probably be in the line Saturday. George Kampert, big tacle seemed to be the only man who could break up the passes. Shurriff was in suit but did not get into the ray on account of the slight injury sustained in Saturday's fight, and he will probably be able to help win the game with the Normals Saturday.
The Freshmen crossed the Varsity goal a total of six times for touchdowns on perfectly completed forward passes through a broken field. Pringle uncorked a forty yard pass to Tad Reid for a touchdown that was the longest and prettest pass yet pulled in scrimmage this year.
The absence of spectators was noticeable. K, U's wins a rather one-sided game Saturday is not a good excuse for the students to think they have done their part in supporting a winning team.
Allison, playing right half for the frost, got away for good grids, while Little playing quarter showed himself to be a broken field runner.
With practically every first string man in shape to be in the line-up against the Emporia Normals Saturday, the game promises to be one of the really good games of the season. The Pittsburgh Normals were unable to make any headway with a light, fast team against the K U machine, and it will be interested we see the acro-beavy, K U machine, heavy, back-biting team such as the school teachers are reported to have. The school teachers are a game bunch, and are certain to make the first "dope" game a hard fought battle.
Confesses Three Murders After Thirteen Years
United Press
Lonoke, Ark. After three
ten years of undisturbed peace,
William Estes, who said he confessed to
three murders because his conscience
would not let him rest, was returned
here today from Boon County, Arkansas where he surrendered last week and between trains plowed guilty. He was sentenced to serve
twenty years in the state penitentiary,
to which institution he was enroute
only minutes after he entered the plea.
On May 29, 1908, Estes killed his wife and Bob Aycock whom he accused of being intimate with Mrs. Estes. A week ago Estes came to Harrison, surrendered and declared he had killed Will Jones in a quarrel and also confessed to the double murder committed in this county thirteen years ago. Jones was found shot to death near James Brown's home.

KANSAS COAL ANALYSIS IN CHEMICAL RESEARCH
Investigation to be Complete Says Jack Waggoner Research Assistant
A complete analysis of Kansas coal is now being attempted by the department of chemical research. The coal of other states is to be compared in a thorough way with the Kansas coal, especially in regard to the heating value of the by-products from which our most important chemicals and dyes are produced is being made. Jack Waggoner, research assistant in coal investigation, has just returned from a two weeks trip in southern Kansas collecting samples from the principal mines of the state. Many new furnaces are being installed, with each other expensive machinery.
"Organized and complete data on coal in this state is the object of the research department at present. Many other states have much more data on their coal than we have," Wagner wagoner said. "We hope to be able to use this data to coal in somewhat as complete a way as Illinois and many other investigation will include the distillation states are doing. This investigation will include the distillation and complete analysis of all by-products. Such important chemicals are used in coal and many others are derived from what formerly went up in smoke in the manufacture of coke."
Mr. Waggoner stayed in Pittsburgh and went out from there to all the principal mines, which are located in eastern North Carolina, Crawford and Cheriecoe counties. The samples were enclosed in airtight zinc cans directly after being taken out on the mines. This was done in order to prevent chemical changes in the
Mr. Wagggoner says that while the Kansas coal has a greater heating power than many other coals, this advantage is offset by the greater amount of sulphur in the coal, which burns out grates and stove linings.
Several weeks are required to test each sample of coal. These samples are burned in platinum crucibles and in a gold-lined furnace. A coal has a mass of over a thousand pounds. "The department is eager to present all the data on Kansas coal that any other state has been able to present," said Mr. Wilcox, who added of great value to manufacturers in their conservation of by-products.
Mechanical Engineers to Meet

POET TOOK FIRST DIP
While Harry Kemp Swam in Potter, Students Danced In Snopper
In Spooner
At opposite ends of the K. U. campus stand the representatives of the two main elements in student life. Spooner Library, at the east, stands for the intellectual side of college life, while Potter Lake at the west, represents the athletic side, the "spirit" of the university.
However Spooner Library was not always so lofty in its attitude nor was Potter Lake intended merely for sport.
Up to the year 1893 the university of Kansas library consisted of three rooms in the north wing of Fraser. In that year Mr. Spooner, a wealthy merchant of Boston and an uncle of Doctor Snow, then chancellor of the university, died, leaving $292 each for the University Library, and the university of Kansas. Of the University's legacy, $12,000 was taken to build a chancellor's residence and the remainder was used for Spooner Library. The excavation was begin July 27, 1893, and that book of 20,000 books was moved August 1, 1894. The University had, up to this time, been using the chancellor's home for all receptions and student affairs, but as the enrollment had increased it became necessary to move to another library, where there was more than enough room for all the students.
As the enrollment and the library steadily increased the receptions and banquets were moved to give place for books. The library now boasts 130,000 volumes and is trying hard to forget its past frivolities.
By contrast, Potter Lake, once a serious minded reservoir, has become only a lax pool where freshmen are taught the ways of democracy. In the summer of 1810 the lake was filled with fire, and supply in case of fire on the Hill
The first man to swim in the lake was Harry Kemp, now a well known playwrite in New York, but at that time he was also a classmate of Willard Wattles.
A few weeks after Harry Kemp's initiation of the lake a senior from the engineering school was drowned. The students were warned and after they were rescued, the mourning after dark was forbidden. The lake is not a good bathing pool as there is no outlet and the water is usually stagnant, but some years ago an aquatic meet was held there again and diving as its main features.

As Fire Day
October 9 has been designated by Gov. H. J. Allen as fire-prevention day. This day, which is the anniversary of the great Chicago fire, has been observed for a number of years throughout the United States and Canada and this year a special effort is being made to it more generally observed. Chancellor Strong from Dr. W. N. Mason of the State Board of Administration requesting him to put the matter before the students of the University of Kansas that may be properly observed.
- For a good many years Rowlands has stood for everything pertaining to the student.

"It is especially desirable that all who are connected with our state institutions should exercise the utmost care because the state carrier no insurance. Every fire is so much loss, which is not made good through insurance," said Doctor Mason in his letter.
Last year, fire losses in the United States and Canada amounted to the sum of $317,014,385. To this sum Kansas canthus accounted for $47,015,653. However, this sum does not show the total loss sustained for the cost of fire prevention and the loss of earning power and production do not show among these items. According to the best fire authorities about 95% of the fires last less than have been easily prevented. Some of the most common causes of the fires which are an almost everyday occurrence in Lawrence during the winter, especially in the student rooming houses, are:
Carelessness in the use and handling of electrical appliances,
ROWLANDS
ing of electrical appliances,
Defective chimneys and flues,
Hot ashes and coals,
Carlessness with matches, gasoine and kerosene.
Cigars, cigarettes and pipes,
Defective and overheated stoves
burnaces and boilers.

President Much Better But Rest Cure Goes On
Washington, Oct. 8- President Wilson was much improved this morning, according to information from unofficial sources at the White House. His appetite was better and he was very anxious to get out of bed, it was learned. The cooler weather seemed to have a good effect on him. For the first time in a week the President was interested in food. He ate two soft-boiled eggs for breakfast. Afterwards he expressed the desire to work longer, doing business, finally remarking that Doctor Grayson showed remarkable inability to get in touch with the men he wanted to consult.
His physicians were not ready to abandon the rest cure. They believe exertion, mental or physical, would be good in spite of the improvement.
Bleacher Repairs Halt For Delayed Material
Work on the bleachers at McCook Field is progressing, but all the timbers have not arrived and it will be impossible for the stands to be ready for the game. The bleachers have been working hard this week, and an appreciable difference can be noticed in the condition of the bleachers on the north side of the field. The south side only will be used Saturday. Inclement weather probably will deviate from the expected extent. Bleachers will be available for the Agic game November 1.
