VOLUME III.
FIRST DEFEAT
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, NOVEMBER 3,1906.
KANSAS LOST FIRST GAME OF SEASON TODAY.
Jayhawkers Could Not Match St.
Louis Tactics. Score was
34 to 2.
Special to THE KANSAN:
St. Louis, Mo., November 3- The Jayhawker football team met their first defeat of the season in a whirlwind struggle with St. Louis University this afternoon. The St. Louis semiprofessionals were too many for Kennedy's pupils, and with their rough and tumble battering of the Jayhawker line kept the game going constantly in their favor.
The only score for Kansas was made on a safety in the second half. The Missourians preferred to score a safety and get their goal line out of danger, and thus hold the Kansas score as small as possible.
St. Louis scored two touchdowns with goals in the first half, and rolled up an additional 22 points in the second half. Kansas fought desperately throughout the game, but was outclassed.
Six thousand people saw the game.
The team left Lawrence yesterday afternoon at 3:15, for Kansas City and left over the Wabash for St. Louis at nine o'clock on a special sleeper. The following men went on the trip: Milton, center; Reed, Oldroyd, Putnam, guards; Donald, Brunner, Cohn, Crowell, tackles; Pleasant, White, Rouse, Lamb, ends; Angney, Coulter, Griggs, Moore, quarter; Wallace, Miller, Forter, halves; Ise and Veatch, full back.
The officials were: Conett, referee; Anderson and Ware, umpires.

FRESHMEN 44-HOLTON 0.
Tyros Found High School Boys Were Easy.
The freshmen defeated Holton High School in an easy game this afternoon by a score of 44 to 0. The visitors were very light, but played a spirited game until worn out by superior weight. McGrew played a splendid game, as did their left end Boyce, who played three downs with a broken collar bone.
The feature of the game was a kickoff blocked by Flowers, the freshman center. Steele played a good game at quarter, and usually made good gains on the forward pass and the quarterback kick. Mallam made gains at times with the short punt, but it failed as often. Stevenson at full, Porter at half, Mallam at half, Steele at quarter, and Carlson at tackle were the most brilliant ground gainers for the Tyros. Stevenson and Porter in particular showed exceptional speed, and frequently got away for a run of 40 to 60 yards.
CROSS COUNTRY FINAL NOV. 21.
Only Three Teams in The Field as Yet.
The final run of the cross country series will take place Wednesday, Nov. 21. The management has promised to give a silver loving cup as a trophy to the winning team, provided four teams enter. Thus far, the freshmen, laws and sophomores have the only teams in the field. To insure a cup there must be one more team of five men. The juniors and seniors have had men in training and a few more additional runners will insure the cup.
Doctor Naismith has decided that the one run will be final. The time of each man will be taken and a percentage of the score will be allowed for each of the first five men. The team getting the largest percentage will be declared the winning team.
Cornhuskers Have Their Schedule Filled Already.
NO DEBATE WITH NEBRASKA.
Professor Higgins, corresponding secretary of the Debating Council, has received a letter from Nebraska declining to consider a Kansas debate this year. The reason given is that their schedule is entirely filled. This reduces the possibilities to a Washburn debate to fill our schedule unless Missouri should make proposals of some sort.
Manley Michaelson, who has been visiting with the Betas, has returned to his home at Topeka.

It is the intention of the students of the school to make the first Friday in November an annual holiday in honor of the event.
LAW SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT.
Law Department Has Had a Hard Struggle.
The erection of Green Hall, the commodious home of the Law School, whose dedication
was celebrated yesterday, is one of the big events in a history of many hard struggles for existence. When the law department was opened in September, 1868, there was one instructor—James Woods Green; there were at the end of that year eleven students. The next year there were eighteen students and Dean Green was allowed an assistant.
The department was housed first in what is now the Alumni office, then in the room now used by the secretary of the chancellor. Room 15 came next, and in 1891 the school migrated to North College, only to be again crowded out, this time to make room temporarily for the idiots of the state in 1894. When the idiots left, the Fine Arts got North College, and the law school settled down in three rooms on the first floor of Fraser Hall, where it remained until September 15 of last year, when the keys of Green Hall were delivered by the contractor.
There are now about 170/ students enrolled under four regular instructors. This is a gain of about forty-five over last year. The standards of the school have been raised very materially in the last ten years, and the work now ranks well up with the best in the country.
First Party to be Next Friday in F. A. A. Hall.
The sophomore spread given in Snow Hall last evening was a grand success in every way. During the evening 150 students were present.
The refreshments consisting of salad, sandwiches, potato chips, pickles, cake, fruit and cider were served in the gym room before 8:30. At that time the dancing began in the large laboratory room upstairs and continued until 12 o'clock Music was furnished by Newhouse's orchestra. The musicians occupied a booth in the center of the hall made by draping the class colors of red and white.
