LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 31, 1906.
VOLUME III.
ANOTHER COACH
NUMBER 14
MOSSE WILL ASSIST KENNEDY WITH LINE MEN.
Mosse Was Star Kicker Eight Years Ago—Things Bright For St. Louis Game.
Following '98 Mosse coached Warrensburg, Mo., three years and then went to Mexico where he coached a team three years. Last fall he coached the Western University School at Pittsburg Pennsylvania.
At yesterday's athletic board meeting Arthur St.Leger Mosse, the famous Kansas guard, was elected assistant coach for the remaining season. Mosse played on the Jayhawker team the falls of '96,'97,'98. He seldom made a kick off without sending the ball across the goal line.
Mosse comes here at Coach Kennedy's request. Kennedy needs Mosse's help in instructing the line men while he himself is looking after the back field positions. Mosse will also instruct the freshmen when not at work on the Varsity.
The eligibility of football players for the St. Louis University game was also taken up and in addition to those already declared eligible Griggs and Rice were declared eligible. The resolution as passed was "That for the St. Louis game only the athletic manager and coach are hereby authorized to use any student in good standing in Kansas University that is eligible under the rules of eligibility at St. Louis University." The contract between K. U. and St. Louis University states that this game shall be played under the Southwestern College Eligibility Rules. This provision of the contract permits Griggs and Rice who are ineligible under the Chicago Conference to play under the Southern Rules.
The addition of Griggs and Rice to the squad Saturday brings up the football stock around Jayhawker headquarters. Griggs will no doubt play quarter permitting Angney and Coulter to each rest up for Washburn and Nebraska. "Billy" Rice will go in at half back probably resting Wallace who has a game prop. The Jayhawker line will remain practically the same as heretofore.
It is hard to get a line on the strength of St. Louis. They defeated Rolla School of Mines 71 to 0 Saturday. Two weeks ago the "Tigers" defeated Rolla 45 to 0 and the way the Tigers are generally playing this year such defeats do not sound so startling.
Hare and Hounds Saturday.
The hare and hounds chase will start at 10 o'clock Saturday from the gymnasium.
"SQUARE DEAL BARBS" WIN.
A New Kind of Anti-Beta Barb Ticket Wins Freshman Election
The Freshman class met in stormy session at noon and elected the straight "Square Deal Barb" ticket by majorities ranging from 37 to 56. The ticket elected is the ticket nominated in opposition to the temporary officers of the class. The class kept up its past reputation for oratory, and several times during the progress of the nominating speeches were the youthful orators interrupted by the coughing and sneezing and groaning of the class politicians.
The successful candidates with their majorities are: President, Edwin Cooley, 56; vicepresident, Claude Gee, 60; secretary, Lola Smart, 37; treasurer, Clarence Lorditch, 47; auditor, Frances Wilson, 42; sergeant-at-arms, J. V. Adams.
FRESHMEN VS. HOLTON.
Tyros Now Under Mosse's Instruction.
The Freshmen football team will play the Holton High School team on McCook field Saturday afternoon.
This game promises to be a hard contest for the Holton team is practically the same team that held "Shorty" Hamil's "ever victorious" squad last year to a small score.
Coach Mosse is now giving the first year men regular work and no doubt they will put up a fast game Saturday. This is the first game the Tyros have had on McCook field since the Lawrence High School.
"Home Making."
Coulter is taking a short layof from football practice on account of the injuries he received in the Colorado game. His left clavicle was dislocated but he expects to be in shape for Nebraska.
Professor G. A. Griffith of the Fine Arts department made an original and interesting talk in chapel yesterday on "Home Making-a thing for everybody to dream of." Professor Griffith ridiculed junk collectors and make-believe scholars who fill their houses with stuff as they would arrange a museum or a public library. He said truly that the stamp of individuality is what makes the home more than any amount of mail-order furniture and decorations.
Coulter is Out.
Lawrence Brett, B. S. '06 spent the week-end with University friends. Brett is at the head of a government survey party in the Neosho River valley in the southern part of the state, on prevention of overflow.

BIG EXCURSION
U. P. MAKES A $3.00 RATE TO LINCOLN.
Band Will Go to Topeka and to Lincoln—Both Roads Have Cut Rates to Topeka
The arrangements have been completed for excursion rates for the Washburn and Nebraska football games, and good rates secured for both trips regardless of the number who go.
The Union Pacific and Santa Fe have made a rate of one and one-third fare to Topeka for the Washburn-Kansas game on Nov. 10. Tickets will be good until the following day for return.
So many passenger trains are in service that a special train was though unnecessary and the K. U. supporters can go any time they choose.
The big excursion of the year is the one to Lincoln, Nov. 17, to allow Kansas to root for her boys against the Cornhuskers. The Union Pacific will have a special train leaving Lawrence at 6 a.m. Saturday, and reaching Lincoln at 1 p.m. The rate is only $3.00.
Three years ago Nebraska sent a large delegation here, and to do as well K. U. must send a large crowd there. The band will be taken along and will lead the rooting.
It will be necessary for all who expect to go to Lincoln to report to Manager Lansdon within a week or ten days, as the Nebraska management will put the tickets on sale tomorrow. A section will be held for several days subject to orders from here.
"Deutscher Verein."
The Deutscher Verein is having a good attendance this year. The following officers are elected for the first six wenks: President, K. H. Campbell; secretary, Miss Laptad; program committee, Mr. Hess, Miss Blair, and Professor Engel. The following program was rendered last Monday:
Eine Wette, Miss Rankin.
Des Holzerne Bein, Miss Ferguson,
Des Kamel, Miss Grant.
Des Kamel, Miss Grant.
Die Schildburger, Miss Hollinworth.
Schiller, Mr. Cressman.
The Verein meets every Monday at 4:30 p. m. in the west German room.
Sophomore Spread Friday.
The sophomore class will give a spread Friday evening in Snow Hall. Dancing will be the amusement of the evening. An orchestra has been engaged for the occasion and there will be the best of music. During the entire evening refreshments will be served. All students of the University, freshmen in particular, are invited to attend.
Lead and Zinc Report Is Out.
The University Geological Survey has just issued the finest and most complete report on the Lead and Zinc Industry of Kansas that has ever been compiled. The report is the result of several years' work on the part of Dr. E. Haworth, Dr. W. R. Crane and Dr. A. F. Rogers.
The work is divided into three parts. Part I. is by Professor Haworth and deals with the geography and geology of the lead and zinc mining areas of Kansas. Part II, by Dr. Crane, deals with methods of prospecting, mining and milling in the Kansas districts. Part III, by A.F. Rogers, deals with the mineralogy of the lead and zinc district. The report contains much valuable information, both to students and residents of the district. It covers in a thorough manner every phase of the lead and zinc mining industry and is the only thing of the kind ever issued. The report consists of over 500 pages, and contains many plates, maps and engravings. It is printed on good book paper and bound in cloth.
The research work was done by advanced students and members of the faculty without any aid from the state. The data was mostly collected in 1904, but owing to the delay of the state printer the book was slow in getting out.
Since the book was written of the seven men who did most of the work only two are still in Kansas, Prof. Haworth and Mr. McFarland, who are still at the University. Dr. Crane is a member of the mining school faculty of Columbia University; Dr. Rogers is the head of the department of mineralogy at Leland Stanford; Mr. Stafford is at the head of the chemical department of the Oregon state university, and Mr. Sinclair has a responsible position in the patent office at Washington.
The books may be procured by students from Professor Haworth, or is for free distribution to the citizens of the State. Owing to a deficiency in the law no provision is made for distributing the reports although an appropriation is made for their printing. As a result the price of mailing, 28 cents, must be sent by those desiring a book.
He Made a Holiday.
Hon. Edwin C. Meservey, city counsellor of Kansas City, Mo., a graduate of the College in 1882, attended the Kansas-Colorado game Saturday. He also attended chapel exercises Monday. Meservey will be remembered by the old residents as the student who got a holiday for the University by sending a telegram to the chancellor stating that Regent Ingalls of Atchison was dead. It is needless to say that Meservey also got a protracted vacation.
