VOLUME III.
NUMBER 18
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, NOVEMBER 14, 1906.
ON TO LINCOLN
THE BIG GAME OF THE SEASON NEXT SATURDAY.
Nebraska Will Be in Good Form-- Jayhawkers Will Fight Battle of Their Lives.
No doubt one of the greatest games of football played in the West this fall will be the one between the Jayhawkers and the Cornhuskers at Lincoln Saturday. Just three years ago on McCook field in a desperately fought game Nebraska defeated Kansas by a single touchdown after an eighty yard run by Bender. Saturday will mark the resumption of football relations.
The Cornhuskers have been playing an extra good game of ball lately holding the Minnesota team down to 13 points, and the "Gophers" one week later defeating Stagg's vaunted team of Chicago by a 4 to 2 score. Last Saturday the Cornhuskers loafed through a game with Creighton and are now at their zenith of form.
The Jayhawkers on the other side played great ball the first part of the season but in the last two games have fallen far from the invincible rank that they claimed early in the season. In comparison of last year, the Cornhuskers are 6 touchdowns ahead of us since Nebraska defeated the Colorado team three touchdowns and the "Mountainers" defeated the Jayhawkers three touchdowns. Kansas claims to have practically the same caliber team as last year and so does Nebraska.
However, the Nebraska game is the prize of the year and Jayhawkers will put forth every bit of energy available to change their course of luck. The boys came away from Topeka with scarcely a scratch. The team line up at Lincoln will remain as at Topeka with the exception of Rouse whose knee was wrenched again last night. Pleasant will likely take the Beloit end's place and "Job" White will return to his regular place.
The Jayhawker supporters are almost breathless over the approaching game. The greatest jubilee in the history of football would no doubt be had should the K. U. boys win. Still, should we fall through with a 0 to 0 game the wearers of the crimson and blue would be satisfied.
Glee Club Concert Postponed.
The glee club concert which was announced for Nov. 22nd, will not be given until Dec.6. The change was made on account of conflicting social events that could not be changed.
DEAN HART SPEAKS.
Gave Vesper Address and Spoke In Chapel Yesterday.
Dean Hart of Denver made two very enjoyable talks at the University this week. He delivered the address at the Vesper services Sunday afternoon, spoke again in chapel yesterday. His talk yesterday was one of the most suggestive that has been offered from the chapel platform in some time. Dean Hart is an earnest forceful man and is besides an eloquent speaker.
He was at one time an instructor in science at Dublin University, where he received his college education. Professor Hunter's father was a student at Dublin while Dean Hart was on the faculty.
EXCURSION TICKET5 FRIDAY.
U. P. Agent Will Be at Check Stand Friday Afternoon.
Mr. Alexander, city agent for the Union Pacific will be at the check stand Friday afternoon with tickets for the Nebraska excursion. All who are going to Lincoln would do well to get their tickets of Mr. Alexander at that time and avoid delay in starting. The excursion will leave promptly at 6 o'clock, and will leave Lincoln on the return at 11 o'clock. Sleeper accommodations can be secured for the return at $2 a berth for standard and $1 for tourist sleepers.
Dr. Crumbine's Lecture.
Dr. S. J. Crumbine lectured before the medical department upon preservatives in food. He gave an account of recent experiments carried on by Dr. Weible of Washington, D.C., and also gave an account of his own experiments.
In the latter he fed a number of dogs with food containing weighed quantities of preservatives. The result of these experiments seem to show that the dogs did not retain good health upon a diet of food containing adulterants.
New Band Uniforms Here.
Twenty-four new band uniforms arrived for the boys Saturday. The suits are of the military style, blue, trimmed in crimson and gold. Across the neck and on the caps are embroidered the letters "K. U." The boys are talking of giving a concert in chapel Friday morning.
Yale Game Given up.
Manager Lansdon has been obliged the abandon the idea of a Yale basket ball game here, on account of the lack of a suitable place to hold the game. This was the only thing in the way of the game.
NEW BUILDINGS
UNIVERSITY HAS OUTGROWN ACCOMMODATIONS.
Two Engineering Buildings Asked For—Increase Needed for Maintenance.
Chancellor Frank Strong has submitted his biennial report to the State Auditor. In this report the Chancellor calls for an increase in the general maintenance fund for the university of $28,576. This is $18,324 less than the increase received two years ago. Very little of this extra fund is for increase in salaries. The main part is to be used for the increase of the teaching force made necessary by the rapid growth of the University and for equipment necessary to take care of the new students. The increase of over 400 in enrollment during the biennium just closing has taxed the university very greatly. The increase in attendance for the coming biennium will undoubtedly be 400, and the increase in the income asked for is very conservative. Each item in the report was scrutinized with more than usual care in order that the amount asked for for general maintenance might be kept down to as low a point as circumstances allow, it being evident that the most vital concern of the university now is increase in its building equipment. The increase in the equipment of the university for recitation, lecture rooms, laboratories, drawing rooms, etc., has been almost nothing for six years during which time the enrollment of the university has increased over 600. The result has been to put the engineering school upon which this pressure has come especially, in a very serious situation which must be at once relieved. The legislature two years ago was strenuously urged to grant the university an engineering building, the need for which was very great even then; now the need is imperative, and the legislature will be asked to grant an engineering building in two parts: one for general engineering to be devoted in a large measure to mechanical engineering laboratories, of which the university has practically none at present, and the other to mining engineering, economic geology, geological survey, etc., the first to cost with its equipment, complete, $150,000 and the second $50,000
Special appropriations suggested us of pressing importance aggregate a little more than $38,500,and the Auditor is asked to recommend them as soon as possible. The items are: Boiler equipment and heating tunnels for new gymnasium,$7,746;for hydrand and sewage equipment,
$4379; repairs on Fraser Hall,
$2,699; repair shops, $7,500; Law Library, $6,000; equipment for Dyche collection $7,000; Standard weights and measures
$3,200; lights for campus, $400.
DR. NAISMITH'S NEW MACHINE
Has Installed an Apparatus for Healing Bruised Athletes.
An electric machine for the purpose of curing a "Charley Horse" and healing the wounds of bruised athletes is Dr. James Naismith's latest invention.
The machine is a simple contrivance, consisting of a motor and a spool which when placed against the wounded part makes several thousand strokes a minute. The machine works on the principle of an electric massage machine. The machine by striking the flesh several thousand quick blows per minute sets up a rapid circulation in the part where the blood has coagulated, reducing the "Charley Horse" and as a result cures the bruise. With the machine there will not be nearly so many athletes lying out because of bruises as formerly, as an injury may be healed in much less time than was possible by other treatment.
B. U. QUESTION SUBMITTED.
Kansas Will Defend the Fifteenth Amendment.
The University Debating Council met Monday* evening and selected the negative of the question submitted by Baker for the annual debate next spring. The question as submitted is: "Resolved: That the fifteenth amendment should be repealed."
The debate will be held at Baldwin some time in March.
No Action on K. C. A. C. Game.
Martin Delaney of the Kansas City Athletic Club was up yesterday to learn the sentiments on a post-season football game. He was given no encouragement and no action will be taken until Chancellor Strong's return. There is nothing to recommend the game to us unless it should be the money there is in it. It would make money beyond a doubt.
Pharmics Party.
The Pharmacy School will give a party in F. A. A. hall Friday, Nov. 16. Tickets 75 cents. Newhouse's orchestra.
Next Junior Party.
The Juniors will give their next class party in F. A. A. Hall on Friday evening, December 7.
