VARSITY TAKES REST YESTERDAY
But Woodward Worked Out and Showed His Old Form
HEATH MAY PLAY AGAIN
Injuries May Keep Three Letter Men Out of Sooner Game
A day of rest was given the Jayhawkers yesterday, preliminary to starting a week of hard grind in preparation for the game with Bennie Owen's Sooners here Saturday afternoon. Coach Olcott men finished the game Saturation in good shape, and the coach expects them to be in the best condition for the field Saturation they appear to have members of the team, and a like number of yearlings, went through a light workout on the field yesterday. Kicking and passing occupied a major portion of the time, and in this Rock Woodward, who returned yesterday with the other National Guards from Fort Riley showed he had lost none of his old-time form. Rock is especially in passing and kicking, and ad Had McCarty type down the board and receiving fifty- yard punts during the greater portion of the practice yesterday. The return of Woodward is expected to strengthen the Kansas offensive, as he probably will play at left half.
HEATH MAY RETURN
The possible return of Heath to the game was announced yesterday, although he the coaches are not sure he will be able to play before the Washburn game. Eddie Todd and Jick Fast will both be out of the game Saturday on an opening day, and it is if Fast will be able to return to the game this season. Minton Stryker, backlash on the 1914 team, has not appeared for practice for several days. This leaves only seven of the nine letter men in school available for the game with the Sooners—only six if Heath does not recover before the Neilsen, Frost, Burton, Wilson, and Russell. Of these, Lindsay, Neilsen, Frost, and Burton are

Six Men Are Working Out for Sooner Meet Next Sat-
With the meet with Oklahoma only three days off, the K. U. cross country team today started their first season against Oklahoma as six squad was selected as follows after the meet with the Aggies last Saturday: Capt. Stateler, Rothey, Groene, Dillon, Welsh, and Rinker, each given at the first meet this year.
Kansas, with three veterans, Rodkey, Stateler, and Groene, two of the best men of the freshman squad last year, and a promising distance man of the first team. We had a great team this year. Rodkey holds the Valley record for the five mile course, the time being 26:40. Last week the squash team was on a time course. Welah, a freshman last year showed up well in the last Convention Hall meet.
Oklahoma has had a cross country team for several years, and the Sooners think that they have a winner this year. Coach Hamilton tried to schedule an opening game for the players but did not want a meet at the time of the football game.
Will the folks still get those needed summer vacations if you make no arrangements with the Northwestern Mutual?

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS
MAKES OWN APPARATUS
The department of physics has met the high cost of apparatus and the seeming impossibility of obtaining some of it. Much of the scientific apparatus used in the department was imported from Europe before the war. Since importation has been stopped the department must have much of its own apparatus possible. They also do their own repairing.
On the first floor in the southwest corner of the Physics Building is a small shop presided over by L. S. Brooks, custodian of the department. In this shop Mr. Brooks and others work on the experiments which the instructors of the department wish for their experiments. This includes electrical apparatus and instruments for measuring forces and weights and velocities of objects. The same apparatus for Prof. L. E. Whittore's experiments with wireless telegraphy.
FOOTBALL WAS SPEEDY BACK IN '95
Old Grad Tells Experiences.
"In one game on the schedule of the year '95 what is probably a record for fast playing was made when 90 plays were made in the first half, thirty minutes, and 105 plays were made in the second half," says the Kansas star of the early ninies, in speech of the day they used to play
"In this game there was another thing that is probably unique in Kansas football annals. The game was played on a field which was wet, and when one particularly muddy place was encountered, an over the line drive was the only play that could make Fred Gamez play for eleven consecutive downs and he made a gain on each one.
"The length of the game in the years '91 and '92 was two forty-five minute halves, with ten minutes interspersed. It has been shortened to thirty-five minutes."
"In those days the players did not encumber their heads with leather helmets, nor their shoulders and elbows with leather pads, though occasionally a player would wear a nose guard and shin guards.
"The first game between Kansas and Nebraska was played in '92. Kansas won, as she did three of the first four games between the two teams in the way, Kansas lost only one game, that to Baker. The Baker game was lost after we had beaten them before in the season. The game was lost because of inexcusable overconfidence during an attempt to play it with substitutes.
"The most disastrous season for Kansas was '93; the year in which we played Minnesota on their home grounds. '5he Kansas team played at Denver the week before the Minnesota game. The day before the game was spent on the train and the team only had half a suppe. The next day nothing to eat until they gave a light lunch an hour and a half before the game. The score, at that, was only 12 to 6 in favor of Minnesota. And the Minnesota team that year compared favorably with any she had has."

Oklahoma Expects Big Battle With Kansas Next Saturday
Norman, Okla., Oct 31. (Special)—Oklahoma is looking forward to the struggle with Kansas with a determination to win. Yet at the same time there exists in the mind of every member of the squad full appreciation of what he will have to do in order to realize a victory.
This season the team ran along for three games with easy victories, and then ran into a surprise when Kendall tore loose a 16 to 0 defeat. This jolt helped the varsity to a new team, in form and skill, even if not in performance. They should have worn. For three quarters the Sooners outplayed Texas, yet held the short end of the score, and in the final quarter Texas made a deserved touchdown, and claimed the game rightfully. But the encouraging thing was that the men held their heads and arms at full length while in scrimmages, and proved to their supporters that they are truly veterans.
Only one letter man from a year ago is on the team. McCain has been running at halfback, but will probably be shifted to end this week. Briscoe and McDermott will be tried at the halves and Von Tungin, the mighty Dutchman with a right knee, will probably be back at full. Wilmoth, who has been out with blood poisoning may also get a chance at full.
A weak spot in the line is at center, where Brewer and Douglas, who has been out with infection, will light it up. The line also shows a tendency to lone and may be pushed aside in place, of some more aggressive player. Otherwise the line is well bolstered up and should prove tough enough it is new From arm to tackle.

Good because they don't depreciate and because you'll value them more every day.
A trade so large that our stock is always pure and fresh. We want to know K. U. men and women better. Where the cars stop - 8th and Mass.
A very small sum spent now will lighten up your room wonderfully and furnish you a worth while K. U. memo.
We have them in all kinds and sizes.
