Charley Ise, a veteran of two years ago, played fullback in several of the large games this fall. Is is without an equal as a line bucker and always plays for everything there is in him. He weighs 165 pounds and lives in Downs.
Some of the other men who played parts of games and did extremely faithful work throughout the entire season were Tom Veatch, captain of the last fall's freshmen squad, Lamb, end on the same team, and Oldroyd, a big guard.

THE COACHES
ABOUT THE MEN WHO MADE THE TEAM.
Kennedy Is the Ideal Coach-- Much Credit Due Mosse, the Assistant Coach.
No one deserves more credit for the success of the past football season at the University than Coach A. R. Kennedy. Laboring under the handicap of poorly balanced material, and a schedule far too long for any team, he made of the 1906 football squad one of the most formidable machines that has ever represented the University. Never has the University of Kansas had a coach, who is more popular with the football players themselves, the student body and the faculty than"Bert." He is the exact opposite of the Yost, Weeks and Curtis school of coaches, who believe that the only way to make men work is to swear at them and treat them like inferiors.
Kennedy played quarterback on the University football team during the years '96 and '97, being captain the latter year. He was quarterback of the famous 99 University of Pennsylvania team and then coached city

teams in Philadelphia for two years. In 1903 he coached a very successful team at Washburn and since that time has produced three victorious teams at K.U.
When the Kansas Athletic board hired Arthur St. Ledger Mosse as assistant coach, they made one of the best choices that could have been made.
Kansas claims Mosse, although he was early educated at Eton college, England; and came to western Kansas with an English settlement when he was a boy of 19.
In '95 Prof. Higgins found Mosse at Arkansas City and recognizing his ability brought him here the fall of'96, when he entered the engineering school. The years' 96, '97 and '98 he was a famous guard, captaining the Jayhawkers the last year. The next three years Mosse coached Warrensburg Normal. In 1902 he coached a team in New Mexico. The falls of '03 and '04 he played ball on a professional team at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, where six of the men were all-American men. In '05 he coached the W. U. of P. at Pittsburg which made 504 points to their opponents' 5.
Coach Mosse worked with Kennedy not as many assistants do against the head coach. "It was Mosse's eye," said Coach Kennedy, "that mastered Nebraska's formation at Minnesota which was so largely responsible for our victory at Lincoln. I only hope we may have him again."
OUT OF DEBT
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION WIPED OUT $1200 DEBT.
Only $500 in the Treasury-
Manager Lansdon Says Assessment Is Too Low.
According to the annual report of W. C. Lansdon, manager of athletics, which is just out, the association has wiped out all old debts, and still has about $500 in the treasury. The old note for $800 has been paid, $400 paid on the Weeks judgment, and other debts aggregating $100 paid up.
Manager Lansdon said yesterday that he regarded the season as very satisfactory, and pronounced the voluntary fee a success. "It is too small, however," he said, "for ordinary years. It should be three dollars instead of two. The schedule this year had several games away from Lawrence that paid well. We cannot expect to do as well another year."
MANAGER LANSDON
Manager Lansdon has been highly successful in this, his second year at the head of athletics. He is justly popular with all the men, and much of his success is no doubt due to his attitude toward them.

SPLENDID RECORD
TYROS' GOAL UNCROSSSED IN THE PAST SEASON.
Captain Carlson, Caldwell in Line and Mallam, Porter, Steele and Stephenson Varsity Material.
The record of the Freshman team this year has been such as to attract the attention of Coach Kennedy and bring satisfaction to the entire University. The first year men played six scheduled games with results as follows;

The goal line was not crossed during the season.
Throughout the season the Tyros were never certain when they went down upon the field that they would have a coach to assist them. Early in the season Brunner directed the squad and later Billy Rice and Art Griggs tutored the boys, and later a week or two passed with no coach. When Mosse was hired as assistant coach, he found but little time to devote to the Tyros and consequently their standing is due largely to the personal efforts of the men.
CAPTAIN CARLSON

In the line Caldwell and Captain Carlson made the best showing. Carlson was very aggressive when carrying the ball and often netted 5 to 10 yards on a tackle swing. Caldwell, however, was the terror of the team, and to express it in Donald's words, "He was the best tackle I played against this fall in the Missouri Valley." Caldwell is stout, quick and fearless.
In the backfield the freshmen were particularly strong. Steele at quarter is quick and showed excellent ability in handling the team. Porter at right half is the most spectacular man on the team. Scarcely a game was played where he did not spin off a 50 or 60 yard run. He is an adept at dodging. Mallam is a good ground gainer but probably excels in defensive work. Stephenson was always ready to make the necessary 3 yards on the last down and seemed to be the most lucky man on the team when a fumble was bouncing around. Twice he carried the ball 90 yards for a touchdown on a fumble.
The personnel of the squad follows: Markham, Kaul, Fortney, Carlson, Powers, Caldwell, Urban, Flowers, Spear, Steele, Mallam, Porter, Lobaugh, Stephenson, Michaels and Thompson.
