THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
VARSITY PLAYS WELL IN FIRST SCRIMMAGE
Snappy Movments Advance Bal Through Line of Heavy Freshmen
Varied Attacks Utilized
Line Bucks, End Runs and Forward Passes Prove Good Ground Gains
"Forty-seven, eleven, six," or words to some such effect were the signals Wednesday afternoon for the K. U. football team to galvanize into action, throwing the ball up to pound freshman line in the first scrimmage of the season, letting "Pride of Alma" Tom Pringle, plunging through, through for a clean ten-year gain.
The origin of the snappy numbers that directed the play was the threat of Quarterback "Dayy" Lupher, and the heads of two hundred K. U. sport fans who followed the play from the sidelines. The team nodded in satisfied recognition of the value of good men well coached, fight-in for Kansas.
FIRST SCRIMMAGE BRIEF
**VISY SCRIMMAGE BASE**
Wednesday was the first day of scrimmage for the Varsity, and the speedy scrap with the nephyte pigskin rustlers lasted a bare half hour.
The Varsity retained the offensive throughout the period, and carried the ball over the eastwall from the center of the field some half dozen times, varying line bucks and end runs with forward passes, and making ground on nearly the scrimmage. The freshman line through inexperienced outfitters came up against fifteen pounds per man, but the Varsity cowcatcher opened up the way for the man with the ball many times.
Among the Varsity men who were worked in the backfield were Pringle, Lunner, Lupher, Rusty Cowill, Simon, Bunnes, Shurliffe, Woody and Mandeville. Linemen were Church, Smith, Ruble, Marxen, Laslett, Lambron, Warren Woody, Davidson and James. He watched every play like hawks, and coached the men as to their form throughout the play.
FROSH MAKES STOP ADVANCES
The first-year backs under the direction of Coach Schademann stopped the Varsity backfield when they went through the line in fine shape. Especially good was the turnaround from Spurgon, Higgins and Sandifer, who handled the stopping end of the game like veterans.
Coach McCarty is devoting special care and time in the coaching of the line men, while Lindsey is tutoring young players. She is also a member of football championship material.
GRID GOSSIP
BY HERB LITTLE
Elmer Shufflef, a sophomore who is out for football or the first time this fall, showed up well at the half position for the few minutes he was in Wednesday. Speed is a strong point for him, and if his red hair means what red hair generally does, he has stick-to-it-ness.
While Coach Schadlemann pitted twenty of his first-year players against the Varsity on McCook Wednesday, "Stum" Foster, last year's coach, took a couple of parcels, took the other thirty or forty of the squad over to Hamilton Field to do battle with the high school fire-centers of Coach "Rock" Woodward. The other players went up for bibations for a half hour, and a "fine time was had by all."
From one to three hundred persons are seeing the football practice this week. The crowds are optimistic, the key note of most of them, forgetting that other Missouri Valley Schools have three or four years product of football players back also. But they do not all confine their talk to the sports world, because no is talk of pessimism, possibly every other subject under the sun is discussed. Politics, graffiti and studies form probably the most discussed sub-topic in the school media interest in school politics, which already are beginning to sizzle.
Chancellor Strong made his first visit to practice Wednesday. Chancy stroiled down from the height, and looked the situation over, and seemed to find things in fine shape, as he varied Variety mixed up with the freshmen.
Football fans will please notice the experienced way in which Tristan Spurgeon, freshman team halfback, and Pittsburgh Normal star, gets the Varsity runners. Spurgeon gives offense to the opposing team in other means of locomotion than the legs—and generally in the opposite direction, too.
George Nettles, all-state tackle in 1917, is taking practice slowly these first weeks. George has a bad knee, and runs around the track a few times every night, and this, with the attention of "Phog" Allen, is all the practicing he is doing so often, however, and his hard playing would insure him a line position on any "Big Ten" team, in spite of his light 170 pounds.
NOFLU AMONGSTUDENTS
Epidemic of Colds Has Given Rise to Exciting
Rumors
There is no flu among students at the University, health authorities at the University Hospital said today and there is only one case of flu in all Lawrence, according to Dr. A. W. Ward, a professor of infectious medicine. Dr. Clark added that several other cases were under suspicion, but that positive diagnosis as flu had not been reached. An epidemic of bronchial colds, together with frequent warnings from health authorities that another wave of flu might be expected, has given rise to rumors that there are several cases of flu in Lawrence.
Two trees between Fraser and Green hills have been removed this week. A report that the proximity of the trees to the law building had caused the trees to commit suicide was denied today by law students and by Prof. W. C. Stevens, head of the department of botany.
"The reason the two trees died, said Professor Stevens, "was owing to the peculiar formation of the ground around Fraser which makes it difficult for any type of tree to grow.
HILL LOSES TWO TREES
"The elm on the east was killed by the dry spells this summer, but the box elder was killed by the rock aurea and the fungus aria on the tree."
Shea
"The removal of these trees is a continuation of the program for beautifying the campus.
There will be about two hundred trees planted on the campus this year as well as some shrubs which will be put out next spring," said John Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds.
