VOLUME III.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 13, 1906.
SCORE: 37 TO 5
ARKANSAS SCORED ONLY BY A FLUKE.
Kennedy's Pupils Were too Heavy for Visitors=-Angney Made Good at Quarterback.
Kansas piled up the big score of 37 to 5 against Arkansas this afternoon. The game was all one way in the second half, and but for bad fumbling early in the game it would have been a shut out for the visitors.
Arkansas was light but they more than made up this deficiency in weight by speedy work. Their punting was excellent and slightly outclassed the Varsity in this department during the first half.
Wood kicked 40 yards, Kansas returned 20 yards, Wallace made 15, Ise made 10, Putnam went through for 7 and Brunner carried the ball on 15. Arkansas made a safety on a quarterback kick from Angney. Kansas lost ball after kick-off. Arkansas punted and Kansas returned to 45-yard line. Hyatt made 8 yards on line buck. Miller got ball on fluke at forward pass. Kansas punted and Miller recovered. After second punt Putnam went through for 7 yards followed by Wallace for 20 yards. Cohn made a successful try at field goal from 35-yard line.
Donald returned 10 yards after kick off. Kansas lost ball on blocked punt. Hyatt went through for 7 yards and again for 6. Cohn got ball on failure at forward pass. Arkansas got ball on blocked punt on Kansas' 4-yard line. Hyatt went over for a touchdown and failed at goal.
Kansas kicked to 35-yard line Angney made 40 yards on punt by Arkansas, and on the third down Donald went over for a touchdown. Milton failed at goal.
Arkansas kicked 40 yards to Cohn who returned 25 assisted by Donald and Reed. Kansas lost 15 yards in a punting match, and the half ended with the ball on the Kansas' 30 yard line.
Cohn kicked off 60 yards. Arkansas punted from 25-yard line to Angney who returned 10 yards. Gains by Ise and Donald carried the ball to Arkansas' 10-yard line and Ise went over after 4 minutes. Milton kicked goal.
After a see-saw play, Cohn punted 40 yards, and Arkansas returned 20 and lost ball on fumbled quarterback kick. Straight plunges carried the ball rapidly down the field to the 25-yard line and Cohn made a place kick for field goal.
Crowell went in at right guard. Crowell, Ise, Wallace and Brunner carried the ball to the 15 yard line and Donald went over. Milton kicked goal.
Forter went in at full. Irresistible rushes carried the ball to Arkansas' 10 yard line and Wallace went over. Milton kicked goal. After a punting matched which left the ball on Arkansas 35 yard line, Miller made an end run for 20 yards, and Reed went over. Milton kicked goal.

NEW ATHLETIC FIELD.
Plans for Location South of Gym-- Difficulty of the Work.
Inside of the next few years, the athletic field of the University will be shifted from its present site on McCook Field to the broad acreage south of the gymnasium according to plans now on foot. The new athletic field will contain a base ball diamond,a foot ball gridiron, tennis courts,and a location for every sport and recreation in which the University students will be interested.
At present the field is sown in small grain, and no effort has been made toward the leveling of the grounds. However the rapid construction of the gymnasium means that the work must soon begin in order that the classes of gymnasium can be properly accommodated in outdoor sports.
The topography of the proposed athletic field shows that its preparation is not going to be merely a question of scraping and leveling dirt. Shallow rock was struck in excavating for the gymnasium, and it is presumed that the same condition prevails over the entire hill.
The foot ball field and the base ball diamond must be almost level with but slight allowance for drainage. This will mean the shifting of tons and tons of dirt, and perhaps rock, which a difference of thirty degrees will entail.
The field has a favorable location. It is off the hill and shielded on the north by a tenfoot escarpment which will break the wind. On the south it lies open thus making it easily accessible to towns-people and an excellent place for putting the seats as the south side is always the best from a spectator,s point of view. The field has all the advantages of McCook with the additional advantage of being where it ought to be: snug up against the University.
ETHICAL SIDE
WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE ON JOURNALISM.
Advertising Column Must be Truthful—"You Cannot Fool the People an Iota."
William Allen White, regent of the University and editor of the Emporia Gazette, addressed the Journalism classes Friday on"The Ethics of Journalism." Most of the lecture was devoted to a discussion of what was right and wrong for a paper to accept as advertisement.
"Just inasmuch as a newspaper moulds public opinion, just to that degree should the columns of a newspaper be incorruptible," said Mr. White. The Emporia editor said that there are two departments of a newspaper where the question of right or wrong must be considered. In the advertising sections equally as much care must be taken to guard against error as in the news columns. The editor who allows advertising matter which he knows to be a fake to enter his paper is guilty of swindling the readers of the paper and betraying their confidence.
He designated several classes of advertisement which a paper should not print: such as advertisement of liquors and cigarettes which would have to be sold in violation of law; patent medicines of doubtful value and advertisements of fake mining schemes. In this connection he told of the effort made a year ago by the Standard Oil Company to have paid advertisements inserted in the newspapers of the country in the form of news, defending them against an adverse public opinion. This the speaker characterized as wrong on the part of the editors.
"If you would succeed in the newspaper business," said Mr. White, "you must be honest in your opinions, for no matter how you may think you cannot fool the people an iota. You will find it impossible."
First Vesper Tomorrow.
The first Vesper services of the year will be held in the University chapel tomorrow afternoon at 4:30. Chancellor Strong will deliver the address. Some excellent music has been prepared for this occasion, including a special number by the quartette. These services will continue throughout the year, on the second Sunday of each month.

EACH SIDE GETS TWO.
Factions Share Honors in Athletic Election.
The hardest fought campaign in several years ended by the election of an athletic board composed of two members from each faction. The campaign revealed an organization of forces that has not been equalled in a long time. The strength of the Reform faction was over whelming, and only the personal popularity of the two Representative candidates saved them from defeat.
The official vote for members of the board is: Brunner, 581; Putnam 573; Ise, 566; Donald, 561; Martin, 481; Milton, 475; Miller, 428; Burt, 374.
The majorities of the other Reform candidates is: Waring, 90; Harlan, 26; Cohn, 192; Siler, 184; Cooley, 83; White, 198; Jones, 50.
MOVE FOR BAND UNIFORMS.
Band Voted $100 for the Purpose —Would Cost $300.
At the last meeting of the band it was voted to appropriate $75 out of the funds available for the band to be used in the purchase of uniforms. The members then voted to contribute $25 as individuals, making the total sum $100. Leader John Hawkinson says good uniforms would cost about $300 for the twenty-four members of the band. No plan has as yet been advanced for raising the additional amount, but there is a general sentiment in favor of doing something to recognize the band and its work.
About the Hospital Association
In order to make clearer the basis on which the Univerity Hospital Association is to be formed, the following statement may be of service. The articles of the association now in the hands of the committee are merely provisional and may be altered or rejected by the association when its membership is formed, so that any one now joining the association is not bound by these articles. But it is necessary that there should be some basis for beginning, so it is suggested that those who wish to join an association of this character may so indicate by handing in their names to the various classes or their committeemen. A meeting will then be called of all persons desiring to join, and a final organization effected. It is necessary that prompt action be had, so it is especially urged on the members of the large committee, and the sub-committee to bring the matter before their various organizations at once. Lists of the names of persons desiring membership may be left at the office of the secretary of the University.
