UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME III.
CLOSE GAME
LAWKENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 17, 1906.
JAYHAWKERS WILL MEET THE REAL THING SATURDAY.
Our Line Is at Its Best---Coach Kennedy Expects a Hard Battle.
The Varsity boys meet the University of Oklahoma football team for the fourth time Saturday. Coach Kennedy is looking for the hardest game of the year. "Oklahoma is coming to win this time," said he. "They have practically all their old men back and a powerful tackle from year before last's team." In speaking of our own team Coach Kennedy said, "We are in the best shape of the year. Rouse and Pleasant will each be ready to answer at his position."
Of the three games played against the Sooners, Kansas has taken all. Last year we won by the decisive score of 33 to 0. But this is the second year for "Bennie" Owens at Oklahoma and no doubt he will have a much stronger team than last year.
Each Coach—Kennedy and Owens would feel a great pride in defeating the other for each played at quarter once on Kansas—Kennedy in '97 and Owen on Yosts "ever victorious" team of '99.
Kansas will have one of the strongest lines that ever played for K. U. Milton will be at center, Reed and Putnam at guards, Donald and Brunner at tackles, and "Job" White and Rouse at ends. Besides these, Cohn, Crowell and Pleasant will be ready to fill the place of any one retired.
In the back field Angney and Coulter will each play at quarter and Wallace, Miller and Crowell will likely play at the halves, and Ise and Forter at full.
The following clipping is from the Oklahoma Umpire: The athletic council has guaranteed the Santa Fe railroad company the sale of at least one hundred tickets to Lawrence for the K. U. game there, October 20, at the rate of $5 for the round trip. This game is probably the hardest one on our schedule and we owe it to the team to give it the support of 200 rooters.
"Red" Burt is Better.
"Red" Burt, who has been ill of malarial fever for nearly two weeks, is better today, his fever being much lower. No visitors are allowed to see him yet. The juniors sent him a box of flowers yesterday with the sympathy of the class.
Dr. Jewett of Edgerton, Kansas, visited friends at the University, Saturday.

FRESHMEN VS. K. C. "VETS."
First Year Men Play 0 to 0 Game at Kansas City.
The K. U. freshmen football team in a hard struggle Saturday succeeded in finishing the game with the K. C. Vetrinary College with a 0 to 0 score. The "Vets" were much heavier than the Kansas first year men but were not nearly so quick in their signal work. In the first half the freshmen tried twice at field goals, one of which the ball by scarcely 3 feet failed to go between the posts. In this half the "Vets" also tried twice at goals but were blocked each time in their slow attempts.
In the second half the Vetriary boys made their gains repeatedly but when held for downs Mallam would punt out of danger. Mallam's punting in this half was largely responsible for the "Vets" not scoring.
There were twenty of the freshmen on the squad, accompanied by Young, Rice and Griggs. The team was as follows: Steele, Leonard, Markham, Urbin, Jones, Fortney, Kaull, Carlson, Flowers, Spear, Gill, Sardich, Labaugh, Pennimen, Stephenson, Powers, Caldwell, Mallam, Porter and Michaels.
NUMBER 10
IT LOOKS LIKE UNIFORMS.
Band Finds Liberal Support Only $25 Lacking Today.
The efforts to raise $200 by popular subscription to buy uniforms for the band met with an astonishing response from students and faculty alike. At noon today fully $175 had been subscribed, much of it in cash, and the remaining $25 necessary will be raised this week. The band voted $100 for the purpose, and the uniforms will be ordered this week, so that they may be here in time for the Topeka trip.
The uniforms will be the permanent property of the University Band, and will probably be placed in charge of Dr. Naismith or Manager Lansdon, to be checked out on the same plan as football suits. A wardrobe could be provided in the new gymnasium at a trifling cost, and the uniforms will be good tor several seasons, with only such additions as the changing character of the band requires.
The money subscribed must be collected next week, and all who signed a paper are requested to pay at once to aid in getting the suits at once.
Professor Rice Married.
Herbert Allen Rice, assistant professor of civil engineering and Miss Edith Sweezy were married Sunday at the bride's home at Olivet, Kansas. Miss Sweezy was in the College last year as a special student.
FOUR DEBATES
COUNCIL WOULD INCREASE OUR SCHEDULE.
---
Two are Already Certain—Oklahoma University Wants to Get In.
It is however probable that we shall have four debates this year. Contracts are in force with Baker and Iowa, and Oklahoma is anxious to arrange for a debate. They want the contest to be held at Norman, and the council will probably insist on other arrangements, as both the contests now scheduled are away from Lawrence.
At the first meeting of the Debating Council Monday afternoon plans were tentatively discussed for the debate schedules of the year. No definite action was taken, as the faculty had not yet been appointed.
At the next meeting steps will be taken toward a renewal of our contract with Missouri which expired last year, and it is possible that proposals will be submitted to Nebraska. The council is in a good financial condition and is able to support such a schedule as the one planned. There is about forty dollars in the treasury from last year, and something like one hunbred and forty dollars coming from the voluntary fee, making at least one hundred and seventy-five dollars available besides the debating receipts.
The plan for a council organized by general election has fallen through, and the old literary society representation will continue this year at least. Seven societies are represented: Snow, X. Y. Z., Burke, Kent, Cooley, the Adelphic and the Athenian Senate.
Officers were elected Monday as follows: C. A. Spencer, president; A. G. Tritt, vice-president; J. P. Jones, recording secretary; Frank Grant, treasurer and business manager. A corresponding secretary will be chosen from the faculty members at the next meeting.
First Recital Tomorrow.
---
The first number in the series of the Artists Recital Course will be given Thursday evening by George W. Andrews, of Oberlin college. It will be an organ recital, the only organ recital of the series. Mr. Andrews is a master in his line and will give music lovers a rare treat.
The other three concerts will be given, one in November, one in January by Professor Preyer, and one in February by Miss Mary Wood Chase. Students are not admitted to these recitals on the voluntary assessment fee. The admission is one dollar for the four concerts.
