VOLUME III.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SEPTEMBER 22, 1906.
EASY VICTORY
KANSAS DEFEATED WILLIAM JEWELL 18 TO 0.
Was an Unexciting Game-Kennedy Used a Great Many Substitutes.
Kansas defeated William Jewell College in a one sided game this afternoon by a score of 18 to 0. Practically all of Coach Kennedy's first team aspirants were tried out in the second half.
The William Jewell men were light and could neither withstand the plunges of the Jayhawkers, nor make gains when on the offensive. There were no spectacular plays, and the ease with which the Jayhawkers went through the visitors' line made the game comparatively unexciting.
The game was a one-sided affair, and the fact that the men were not accustomed to the new rules accounted for many off-side plays. Both sides punted freely, and Kansas made use of the quarter-back kick with constant gains. The game was comparatively free from roughness.
Detailed play: Cohn kicked off 40 yards to Johnson. William Jewell punted and Kansas carried the ball back. Donald went over for the first touchin three minutes. Milton kicked goal.
Lewis kicked off 35 yards to Wallace, who returned 15 yards. Wallace went through for 22 yards, Miller went for 13 yards and Cohn for 7 yards. Plunges carried ball to 7-yard line and Donald went over for a second touchdown in six minutes. Milton kicked goal.
Lewis kicked 30 yards to Coulter, who returned 10. Wallace advanced, Martin got ball on fumble; White got ball on fumble; William Jewell got ball and on second down kicked to Angney on 5-yard line. Angney punted to Bradley on 15-yard line. Lewis made 3 yards and punted 15 yards to Coulter. Wallace carried 5 yards. Donald went through for 15 yards. Miller made 8 yards. A quarter-back kick of 12 yards to Miller, who carried the ball well into the William Jewell territory, when time was called.
The second half opened with punts by both sides. A long punt by Cohn carried the ball to the enemies' 20-yard line. William Jewell punted on the third down to Coulter who returned to the 40-yard line. Putnam carried the ball 7 yards. Bucks by Cohn, Donald and White carried the ball over for the third touchdown after six minutes. Milton kicked goal.

Kansas was penalized for off side play. Both sides punted. A second punt by Veatch carried the ball to the enemies 10 yard line. William Jewell punted 30 yards, Dennis and Veatch made long gains. Cohn failed at drop kick for goal and lost 15 yards. Both sides punteed repeatedly. The half ended with the ball on Kansas's 35 yard line. Score 18 to 0.

Freshmen Are Active.
The Pan-Hellenic faction of the freshman class met last night at the Phi Delt House and made up the following ticket: Cooley, president, Gee, vicepresident; Birch, treasurer; and Miss Carnham, secretary.
The "barb" combination will have their "slate" made out by next week.
Band Is Organizing.
About thirty men were out for band rehearsal last night but of them only four were of last year's organization. John Hawkinson was again chosen leader of the band and is very anxious to get some more old men out if possible. There are places for a bass, an alto and for clarinets, and all of whom are wanted badly. The band will be taken to Kansas City by the Athletic Association this year and possibly to Topeka and Lincoln, if the crowds are large enough.
The cash receipts at this afternoon's game were $158, or $120 more than was taken in at the first game last year.Adding in the voluntary assessment paid in by the 1200 students,the game was a great financial success.
Game a Financial Success.
Nearly 1400 Registered.
The registration at noon today was 1380, an increase of about 50 in the last three days. 1067 have paid the voluntary fee, a gain of about 75 in the same time.
ANNUAL ADDRESS
CHANCELLOR STRONG TALKS TO NEW STUDENTS.
NUMBER 3
Predicts Brilliant Future for the University—Urges Simpler Social Life.
Chancellor Strong delivered his annual opening address at Friday chapel exercises. It was spoken to one of the largest audiences that has ever assembled in Fraser Hall. The isles around the main floor and gallery were taxed to their standing capacity. The immense applause following the address testified to the hearty sympathy within the student body toward the Chancellor and wishes for the welfare of the University.
The address in part was as follows: "The new teachers upon this platform and the new students are indeed welcome. The new problems that confront us are fundamentally the same each year. They are always in the process of solution and are therefore never solved. It is always how to maintain the intellectual and spiritual efficiency of the University, how to bring teachers and students to a higher standard of life and influence.
The College life is the best four years of one's life, as it is when the ideals of life have the greatest play; when a competition for place is not yet begun and when the sordid things of life do not have to face us as in later years. It ought to be the time when the administrative motives are strong, and selfishness is at a minimum.
I want to talk to you in regard to our relations with the next legislature. Our income is at present large but still not commensurate with our needs. We hope to soon see upon this campus a new Mechanical Engineering, a Civil Engineering, Mining and Electrical Engineering building. Also I expect to see in the near future departmental buildings and a central college building costing no less than $400,000 for ancient and modern languages and general administration. Does this seem visionary? He that wastes no powder fights no battle. He that shortens his sword lengths his boundaries.
The problem of social life ever confronts us. I am more at loss about it than any other problem. This problem is the only one in connection with the student body about which the loyal students of a University feel a deep concern. Social life is a good thing in season and I am per suaded that at bottom it is a matter of individual responsibility. And then I am somewhat at a loss. I cannot well understand why the good sense of the students does not place a limit on social dissipation. It is for the college man to keep his ambitions clean, his ideals high. Wealth and position are not worth getting if they must be paid for by the death of the highest that is in man, by the loss of the fineness of souI and true nobility of character.
There is doubt that education is incomplete where the religious side is not cultivated. I pity the man who starts out without religious ties. Take time, judge slowly. It takes a lifetime to equip you to judge upon a matter so momentous.
The University has a spiritual aim, it is an atmosphere, a spirit. What shall the spirit of the University stand for?
First. For the highest type of Christian culture.
Second. For the highest type of the common democracy of our land which condemns snobbery and caste as unchristian.

POLITICS TO THE FRONT.
Senior Factions Have Nominated Their Tickets.
The political fight has begun in earnest. The two factions that have been in the University as long as the oldest student can remember are already engaged in a contest, which promises victory for one side and inglorious defeat for the other. Secret meetings have been held during the past week at different places and the "slates" have been made out in most instances.
The new student may not exactly understand who and what the different factions are. He may be approached by different men in the hall and his support is solicited for one ticket or the other. The Barb man with the Beta fraternity supporting him affirms that his ticket is the only one to vote. Another Barb man with all the other fraternities in school at his back comes along, a few minutes later and insists that his ticket will surely win and the proper thing to do is to get into the band wagon.
The seniors have been busy during the week and both tickets are practically made out. The Barb men have nominated the following ticket: Frank J. Klingberg, president; Ray Tripp, vice-president; Ruby Jackson, secretary; Roy Martin, treasurer; Harry Rhodes, editor of Jayhawker; Roy Moore, business manager of the Jayhawker; Pearl Sellers, chairman of the play, and Alfred Tritt, manager of the play.
The Pan-Hellenic league has named the following officers: Rey Douglas, president; George Putnam, vice president; Lottie McDonald, secretary; Robert Strode, treasurer; Helen Bauman, editor of Jayhawker; Carol Getty, business manager of Jayhawker; chairman of the play, not selected, and Harry Gowans, manager of the play.
Last year the Barb crowd won without much opposition, but the coming election promises to be the hotest in years.
Regular Chapel Next Week.
Beginning with next Monday chapel exercises will be held regularly at 10 o'clock every day.
