UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME III.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SEPTEMBER 19, 1906.
THE FIRST GAME
WILLIAM JEWELL COLLEGE, SATURDAY, SEPT. 22.
Selected.
Fifty Men Out for Practice—The Quarterback Not Yet Selected
Football practice is on in full swing and by the William Jewell game Saturday, the team will be rounding into shape. The past two evenings have brought out over fifty men at each practice and Coach Kennedy has had three squads hard at work running signals. The material for a good team is very promising and if all that have donned suits are eligible to play, Kansas will certainly have a record breaking team.
The quarter back position is still unfilled and will be in doubt up to the last moment. Coulter, with his last year's prestige, seems to have the best of the other candidates, but Campbell, Meade and Angney will make him hurry.
Putnam, the hammer thrower with his 190 pounds ought to make one of the guard positions, while Royer ought to fill the other place, unless Reed is in the game.
Richardson and Milton will be tried at center; Donald and Brunner will play tackle and Rouse with either White or Pleasant will occupy the end positions.
NUMBER 2
There is no limit to the supply of half backs, but Wallace, Dennis, Miller and Veatch seem to be the most promising men.
Chas. Ise the great '04 full back was out in a suit this week and of course will make his old position.
The game Saturday will serve to try out the men and to give Kennedy a line on his best material.
--can afford to fail paying the fee because admission to four of the football games paid at the gate this fall will equal the $2.00.
Appointments to Athletic Board.
Chancellor Strong appointed Professors Clarence McClung and Carl Becker to take the places on the athletic board made vacant by the resignation of Professors Wilson Sterling and Archibald Hogg. No member has yet been chosen to act as chairman of the eligibility committee.
George T. Guernsey, of last year's law class will continue his law work at Yale this year.
BIG Y. M.C.A.RECEPTION.
Secretary Hagerman Urged Necessity of Association Building.
Three hundred men filled the reception rooms of the city Y. M.C.A.last Friday evening at the stag meet given by the University Y.M.The old men were on their mettle and the new fellows were made to feel at home in the new surroundings. The time was happily spent jollying over punch and Nabiscoos. Chancellor Strong made a pleasing talk on a college man's relation to the Y.M C.A. Coach Kennedy made a decided hit in his speech to the men bringing out the fact that the Y.M.C.A.is closely connected with all athletics Assistant State Secretary Dadisman and Doctor Naismith spoke.
Secretary Hagerman filled the men with enthusiasm over the much needed University Association Building which will become a reality under his management. H. L. Heinzman, last year's president, Captain Donald and other prominent football heroes were present.
1000 HAVE PAID
RATE OF PAYMENT OF FEE IS INCREASING.
Only 300 Students Have Turned It Down. The Chancellor Is Pleased.
At three o'clock this afternoon 976 students had paid the voluntary fee of $2.00 for the support of University organizations. This number promised to reach the 1,000 mark before the registrar's office is closed this evening.
This same plan for a voluntary system of athletic support was in vogue two years while Chancellor Strong was president of Oregon University. "Without exception," the Chancellor said, "every student paid the $2.50 assessment fee. It met with unanimous approval, increased enthusiasm, and gave an impetus to all lines of University entertainments."
With 1200 or 1500 tickets sold to the games this fall there will be a greatly increased attendance and naturally much more enthusiasm and spirit back of all athletics. From an economical point of view no student

F course you are not. You want to keep up with the times. You want the news while it is fresh. You can't keep up with University doings unless you

$1.00 per year in advance. $1.25 per year on time payment.

Chancellor's Annual Address.
Chancellor Strong will deliver his annual address to the students at the Friday chapel exercises. All students of the University and faculty members are urgently invited to be present.
1332 Registered.
The registration this afternoon at three o'clock was 1332. This number inculdes only those who have registered at the offices here since the first of September. The registration at Kansas City has not been received, but it is probably more than a hundred, which added to the summer school attendance would make the actual registration for the year to date nearly one thousand seven hundred.
Already Manager Lansdon is talking of increasing the seating capacity of the bleachers to accommodate the crowds that will attend the games on McCook field.
Saturday's game against William Jewell will be the first event for the ticket holders. The price will remain the same all fall, so if you have any desire to attend the entertainments continuing throughout the year and including all athletic events, musical entertainments and debates given by University organizations pay in your $2.00 and begin getting your money's worth.
FRATS PLEDGE SIXTY-FIVE.
One Hundred and Sixty-six of Last Years Number Back.
For over a week the rushing season of the fraternities has been running on full blast. The backward freshmen are seen to have been captured by the upper classmen and frisked away to dinners and smokers at the various frat houses. For the more bold kind many dances have been given so they could meet the fair friends of the fraternity boys. All in all, it has been a mighty lively time, and has been productive of very good results. It is said that this year's freshman class is a very likely bunch. Just fifty men are now wearing the pledge colors and buttons of the eight fraternities represented here, and fifteen young ladies, the cream of Kansas young womanhood, have pledged themselves to three of the four sororities at the University of Kansas. The Kappa Alpha Theta's always defer their pledging until about two weeks after the regular school season opens, and at that time will get their share.
The pledges of the Pi Beta Phi are, Agnes and Esther Adams, Joplin, Mo.; Josephine McCleverty, Ft. Scott; Mable Stone, Emporia; Bess Parkman, Emporia; Lillian Abrams, Kansas City; Winifred Hill, Hiawatha; Edna Leedy, Eureka, and Queena Beauchant, Holton. Twelve girls from last year have also returned.
The Kappa Kappa Gammas have pledged three girls. The Misses Helen Graham, Holton; Josephine Riddle, Iola; and Maffgerite Axtel, Newton. Twelve from last year have returned and are entered in the University.
Those wearing the cardinal and the straw of the Chi Omega are: Anna Ray, Wichita; Fern Cramer, Lawrence; and Jennie Purdy, Chanute. Fifteen girls of last years crowd are back.
The Kappa Alpha Thetas have fifteen girls who have returned. Their list of pledges will be announced in about two weeks.
Ten young men are wearing the shield pledge button of the Phi Kappa Psis. They are, Eli S. Davis, Kansas City; Frank Nutter, Kansas City; Walter Reichard, Paola; James Shep-
