THE KANSAN.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME III.
SCORE WAS 0 TO 0
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, NOVEMBER 10, 1906.
KANSAS-WASHBURN BATTLE
FOUGHT IN CLOUD OF DUST
Two Attempts by Jayhawkers at Field Goal Failed—Dust Caused Poor Tackling. Special to THE KANSAN:
The University was placed at a great disadvantage in using the forward pass, owing to the dust on the field, and punting the ball availed but little for the same reason. In punting Washburn had a slight advantage over the University, averaging forty-five yards to Angney's thirty-five yards.
TOPEKA, KAN., November 10 Kansas duplicated the Washburn-Colorado game this afternoon at Topeka by playing Washburn a game of 0 to 0. The Kansans had throughout the game the advantage over the Congregationalists, making aggregate gains during the game of 217 yards to Washburn's 131 yards. The football field was in a horrible condition, the dust being so dense at times that it caused numerous failures at tackling on the part of the Kansans.
In the first half Donald, Pleasant, White, and Milton broke through the Washburn defense and tackled behind their line repeatedly. Cohn attempted a field goal from the fifty yard line near the end of the half but failed. The nearest the Kansans got to a touchdown in the first half was to Washburn's twenty-five yard line. The big ground gainers in the first half were Putnam, Donald, Brunner, Crowell and Miller.
In the second half despite the fact that Washburn had the wind aiding them, it took them fifteen minutes to get the ball into Kansas territory. The Topekans found the Kansas line a stone wall and made only two long gains during the half, both around the ends, by White and Williams. Cohn tried again for a field goal, this time from the 30 yard line, but this was blocked. Kansas lost the ball within 20 yards of Washburn's goal five minutes before the half closed.
In the second half Wallace and Angney played the star game, Wallace making gains through Washburn's line of six and ten yards. Ise was put in near the end of the game and made good. Brunner played a great game at fullback and added materially to the strength of the back field.

U. P. EXTENDS TIME.
Special Train Will Leave Lincoln at 11 O'clock.
In response to a strong demand among the fraternities in particular, the Union Pacific has extended the time of stay in Lincoln three hours. The special train will leave Lincoln at 11 o'clock Saturday night, instead of 8 o'clock as was at first announced. The Nebraska fraternities are planning informal parties for their visiting friends, and the change of the schedule was made to accomodate them.
WILL PROBABLY RESUME.
Chicago and Michigan to Play Football Next Year.
From the Michigan Daily.
A resumption of the annual Michigan-Chicago game is probable. An agreement assuring the renewal of this contest so long famous in the middle west will be well received among Michigan students. We are all tired of answering the suspiciously intoned inquiries of kind friends as to why we do not meet the Maroons this fall.
Michigan men everywhere have been disgusted by the attitude Chicago assumed upon winning the championship title. Perhaps when the ill feeling that followed the 2 to 0 game last Thanksgiving day is considered, it is as well for all considered that the Chicago authorities asked to be released from the football contract with Michigan for this year. All of the bitter enmity mutually cherished through the college year seems to have been dissipated.
The Sophomore Hop.
Nearly one hundred couples attended the Sophomore party in the F.A.A.hall last night. The class introduced a novelty in the way of decoration in a large pennant twelve feet long and six feet wide which was hung from the lights in the middle of the stage. It is made in the class colors, red and white. A blue K.U. rests on the red back-ground and the class numerals 1909 run lengthwise under this. "Shanty" furnished the music.

RANK SECOND
UNIVERSITY ENTOMOLOGICAL COLLECTION ONE OF BEST.
Almost Entirely the Work of Dr.
F.H.Snow—Collection is Valued at $50,000, and Cost $5,000.
The entomological department of the University of Kansas surpasses that of any other educational institution in the United Sfates with the possible exception of Harvard University. The collection consists of more than twenty thousand different species embracing more than two hundred thousand specimens. The collection itself has cost the State of Kansas less than five thousand dollars and represents over thirty years work in its formation.
The State and the University owe this valuable collection to ex-Chancellor Snow, who has spent twenty-five summers in collecting specimens for the University. These vacations have been utilized by Dr. Snow in making trips, for the purpose of collecting in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Western Kansas. Dr. Snow's liberal donation of all the rare specimens found by himself, together with his systematic method of exchanging insects with other educational institutions has added thousands of valuable specimens to the University collection.
Dr. Snow during his numerous trips, dating back to 1876 has succeeded in finding many valuable and rare specimens. Last year while collecting in Pima county, Arizona, he found the noted "Amblychila," a species of tiger beetle valued at fifty dollars a specimen, and formerly considered an almost extinct species. By trading these specimens alone Dr. Snow secured several thousand varities of insects found in different parts of the world.
In one instance two of these Amblychila beetles were exchanged by Dr. Snow for 165 different species of tiger beetle. Roughly estimated the collection is valued at fifty thousand dollars.
A number of years have been spent by Dr. Snow and his assistant, Mr. Tucker in tabulating and perfecting the collection which offers ample material for students who desire a study of systematic research in entomology. H.H.RHODES.
Graduate Club Picnic.
The members of the Graduate Club enjoyed the hospitality of Professor F. W. Blackmar at Lake View this afternoon. Professor Blackmar secured the club house and grounds and the "Grads" organized a picnic to the lake, with supper in the club house.
TYROS WON FROM CAMPBELL.
Sensational Runs and Fake Plays Tell the Story.
The freshmen added another big victory to their series of battles yesterday by defeating Campbell College, of Holton Kansas, by the score of 51 to 0. Time and again the Tyros would get away for long runs. Three touchdowns were made during the first five minutes of play in the second half.
Probably the most sensational feat during the game was the kicking of a goal by "Pansy," the popular name for Flowers, the giant center on the first year squad.
The freshmen are in good shape and could make the sophomores work for a victory if the class game should be matched. No arrangements have been made as yet, and no announcement of such a game can be made.
OKLAHOMA ACCEPTS.
Debating Contract Is Ratified---- Question Submitted Soon.
The Oklahoma Oratorical Association has notified the Debating Council of their acceptance of the debating contract which was sent to them some time ago. Oklahoma will submit the question within ten days or two weeks, and the local debaters can begin work by the end of this month. The first debate will be held here some time next March.

Iowa Debate Uncertain.
The Debating Council has as yet heard nothing from Iowa about the annual debate between the two institutions. The debates in the past were with one of two debating organizations in the Iowa Law School. These two societies have been consolidated this year as the Marshall Society, and the new organization has given no notice of what their action will be. The request of our council to continue the debate is under consideration, however, and it is possible that a new contract may be drawn soon.
Chancellor Strong at Baton Rouge.
Chancellor Strong went to Baton Rouge, La., this afternoon to attend the session of the National Association of State Universities which meets next week.
"Crowing" About It.
The Baker Orange consumes a column on the first page in relating the capture of a white bird which they have classified as a crow. Incidentally the Orange is "crowing" about "outwitting their friends on Mount Oread, who offered from $5 to $25 for the capture of the bird." Here's hoping their crow isn't a pigeon.
