UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN "JINX" LESSENS KANSAS CHANCES Injuries to Squad Makes Victory Over Sooners Saturday Doubtful ONLY 20 REGULARS LEFT Many Men Who Have Played This Season Out of Game Present indications are that it will be aatched-up, crippled lot of Jayhawkers that will confront the University of Oklahoma on McCook Field Saturday. The poor condition of the squad is causing a great deal of worry in the Kansas camp as to the outcome of the game. Nearly half of the men are suffering from injuries of varying seriousness. Foster and Todd are out with wrenched knees, and it has been necessary for the coaches to use Lindsey RusSEL, and Woodward at quarter Heath is still unaware of the game; Reid has a chipped horse; and Shinn is in bad condition. Coach OiB is in good condition of the wing positions. FAST COULDN'T PLAY Kabler and Frost, tackles, are in the best of shape. Miffer, center has not reported for practice this week on account of a sore throat and boils. He is expected to return game soon. Full is being played from his center position meanwhile. He is a good man, but he lacks experience. Fast, though out in a suit Tuesday, is still unable to scrimmage. Cowill has from a similar injury; he matches fear that he has a tandem. ONLY TWENTY MEN OUT pulses Certain Lindsey, Dick Burton, and Neilly Neilsen are three regulars who are in good condition. Lindsey, however, did not feel well yesterday, and did not appear on the field for practice. ONLY TWENTY SCREENAGE for the freshmen year, they played forty-five minutes, during which time the Varsity scored two touchdowns. Only twenty regulars reported for the practice. The Varsity was in possession of the time, and played well. Russell scored on a line after the Varsity had worked the ball down the field from the kick-off. Bell scored the second when he received a long pass from Woodrow. It was one of the first this year, plays staged on the cheer from the fans on the sidelines. Woodward was responsible for the most of the ground gained by the Varsity. He was always good for sheer gains. He broke back into a run with twenty and twenty-yards. Rustonback played well for the freshmen. TONY WAS THERE Tony James, last year's captain, was on the sidelines yesterday. He has just returned from the border. Another spectator was Robbins, who would have been a likely candidate for an end but being beginning of the seme-tor. He was held at the Mexican border with Company M. Prof. C. S.

"Every student in the University, Professor Terrill said," should take advantage of these trips to the various departments at the college, keep viflash institution we have here. It will be an excellent preparation for Mothers' and Fathers' Day If the students knew how many interesting things there are in the various departments, it would be anxious to have, their parents visit the University."

KANSAS FEARS SOONER RUNNERS Veteran Oklahoma Cross Country Men to Compete Here Saturday The Kansas cross-country team will encounter stiff opposition when it meets the Oklahoma team in the meet next Saturday before the K. U-Oklahoma football game if the Sooner team has a veteran milier who is dozed to have done the mile in 4:26. Mr. R. G. Soutar is the Sooner coach this year and he is planning to have Oklahoma meet both Missouri and Kansas in the distance run before the annual basketball games both this year and next. Oklahoma will probably be represented by eight cross-country men. The team has been working out, regularly as well as the fact that they have had a good team for several years means that the Kansas men will have to exert more effort. Kansas will be weakened by the fact that Groene has not been able to work out all this week because of a sprained ankle. The rest of the team is in good shape and it is possible that Howland may be used with the other six men, if Groene is badly hurt. It will be run is the same that was used in the Aggie meet last week. It is 100 yards longer than five miles. The K.

In the meet last Saturday the time was cut down on this account. There were more men in the meet last week for Kansas than ever before. The team was cross-country running in the University.

A glance at the scores of the thirteen Kansas-Oklahoma games played since 1903 will explain the great anthem of the team's victory over Oklahoma next Saturday. Kansas punished the Sooners for the last time in 1910, though the two teams have clashed each year since. Starting in 1903, K. U. had clear sailing until she struck the snag of 1911. The record of the games follows: 1903—Kansas 17, Oklahoma 5. 1904—Kansas 16, Oklahoma 0. 1905—Kansas 18, Oklahoma 4. 1906—Kansas 20, Oklahoma 4. 1907—Kansas 15, Oklahoma 0. 1908—Kansas 11, Oklahoma 0. 1909—Kansas 12, Oklahoma 0. 1910—Kansas 2, Oklahoma 0. 1911—Kansas 0, Oklahoma 3. 1912—Kansas 6, Oklahoma 4. 1913—Kansas 7, Oklahoma 2. 1914—Kansas 16, Oklahoma 16. 1915—Kansas 14, Oklahoma 23. From the viewpoint of Lawrence fans, this year promises to see a break in the series of Oklahoma triumphs. In the clash the past Saturday, Coach Olcott's protges appeared to be coming. Oklahoma on the other hand has lost two defeats from Henry Kendall, Texas, and Missouri. Although Kansas has more than half its regular team made up of first year men, the Sooner team is practically entirely composed of new men. In addition the Jayhawkers will have the advantage of playing on their home gridiron. Additional interest will be injected into the Oklahoma-Kansas clash by the fact that the two probable entries for K. U. haffacea were G. Lindsley and D. Lindsey, and Clay Flake, of the Sooner state. Lindsey is the regular right half and the Jayhawkers' best bet as a candidate for all-Valley eleven. Flake finished the game it left half and showed exceptionally well in line plunging. C. E.
