VARSITY CARES LITTLE FOR MUD
Jayhawkers Had Merry Frolic In Spite of Dreary Downpour Yesterday
Football practice in the rain and mud yesterday was a run-fast for the Varsity. Rather than let the men waste an entire afternoon, the coaches had them work out on the field north of McCook. Coach McCarty decided that it was too wet for his yearlings and rave them a vacation.
FROSH GIVEN A VACATION
The Jayhawkers proved themselves good mudders and went through a light scrimgame. Several of the men attained muddy pockets, muddy and were promptly greeted by a shower of mud balls from their team mates. The few fans who braved the weather were treated like lizards as they laughed at the artisans of the players.
After a short tackling practice, followed by the customary three laps around the field, the men went to the showers. They did not stop to watch the coaches and the showers with them on. Coach Olcott seemed well pleased with the work out and said he thought the men had received a world of good from it. The coaches were keen to tackle practice and to the perfecting of several new plays which the coaches are teaching the men in preparation for the Agile game Saturday. Scrimmage with the freshmen would place this afternoon and tomorrow.
Coaches Entertained Both The Teams With A Theatre Party Last Night
The ground was so soggy that it was almost impossible for the players to stay on their feet. When tackled, the backs were usually able to advance the ball several yards by sliding along on the ground. They seemed to take delight in drowned in the muddied balls they could find. The ball was playing center, got even by smearing mud on the ball so the backs could not hold it.
That the coaches are guarding their against "going stale" is shown by the fact that a football mixer for both the Varsity and the freshmen was given last night. The two squads went to the Bowersock in a body and finished the evening at a local refreshment parlor.

BOOSTS LINDESY
—ALL-STAR TEAM
Let K. U. football followers stop and read what C. E. McBride, sporting editor of the Kansas City Star, has to say about Captain Adrian Lindsey. "Mac," as his friends know, is the man who supports and officials in the Missouri Valley and the following boost for a Kansas leader goes a long way:
"Adrian Lindsey played the game of his life against Ames," said a K. U. man who saw the game with the Iowa Aggies. "The captain was in every play, he made half the tackles his team made, and usually was the man who had to get the Ames runner at this finish."
Mirl Ruble, one of the heavy battering rams of Olcott's squad, has discovered a barber whose interest in K. U. athletics carries him farther than the mere mechanical process of kicking and mowing moss on divers' domes.
"Lindsey is a fine type of football player. His play was one of the features of K. U.'s work in the Missouri game last Thanksgiving day. He is playing the same fine game this season and manages to get into every play. He will be hard to beat out of a place on the All-Valley team."
OFF-SIDE PLAYS
"If you fellows beat either Oklahoma, Missouri, or Nebraska you have anything to do." Thus space the barber, and thus answered "Rube":
They used to make considerable of a noise about the football team, back in the old days. Here's a typical story of the ordinary afternoon work-out which now draws a column of space in the Kansas. The notice was printed in the Lawrence Journal-World on October 23, 1891:
"I sure will be around and see you soon."
"Football practice is held every afternoon. The boys are working hard to defeat old Missouri at Kansas City on the 31st."
Red Miner is back again. Last week Red was out of practice for several days on account of boils. He went home Saturday and returned Monday with the old time fight. Without Red in the center of the line, the team is weakened to a considerable extent.
MERCHANTS PLAN TO
DIVIDE PARADE EXPENSE
"There are liable to be some changes next year in the furnishing of treats for the crowd of football rooters in the nightshirt parade," said a local merchant recently. "The change will eliminate all forms of rowdyism which have existed heretofore. The parade this year however, was the most orderly I have witnessed. My plan is yet completed, but I hope to have it worked out in time for the next nightshirt parade."
The idea of this merchant is to distribute the expense of these parades along Massachusetts street instead of letting the burden fall on one or two drug stores, ice cream parlors and amusement shops. He has insisted that all the merchants receive benefits either in a direct or indirect way from the students and that they should help meet this expense.
CONFIDENCE IN AGGIES IS LOST
Poor Showing Against Kansa
Normals Saturday Causes
Pessimism to Prevail
(Special to the Kansan)
Manhattan, Oct. 23.—Confidence that Clevenger's Agigers would have little trouble in downing Occlay J's hawkers in the annual combat at Lawrence Saturday gave way today to a spirit of pessimism, following the inferior showing of the Farmers against the Emporia Normals Saturday. Only theophilus unable to hilt the fierce charges of the Normal backs, but also they failed to make ground against the Hargiss men.
Both Aggie touchdowns were of the spectacular variety. Randels, the speed left end of the Clevenger eleven, caught one of the Normal's kickoffs on his own 20-yard line, and darted through the entire Hargiss squad for an 80-yard sprint across the short pass from Clark and shot 40 yards down the field for the second Argie score.
The two Aggie flashes were all that saved the Farmers from a repetition of last year's defeat at the hands of the Normals. Only once were the Aggies within the Emporia danger zone, and attempts to carry the ball across from the team's defense on the part of the visitors. The Aggies were able to make but nine first downs, as against eleven for the Normals.
Some consolation is found in the fact that two substitutes were playing in the line in place of Doddrill and Rhoda, both of whom are on the hospital list. The two injured grittirostris were moved to the Cormhuskers and are expected to give a good account of themselves in the Kansas game.
Betting has not been heavy on the game. The only odds available are that the Aggies will score, many basking their hopes on Randels's placekicking toe, providing the Kansas line resists all attempts of the Cleverenger eleven to bring about a touchdown through straight football.

"The showing the Aggies made against the Normals will cut down the attendance of some of the Manhattan business men who are wise to football and know what is going to happen to the Manhattan eleven here Saturday, but I expect at least fifteen hundred students to come with treasure bags tomorrow," Hamilton today. "The Aggie back will be here in force and we are expecting the biggest crowd that ever saw the Aggies play here."

Almost Five Thousand Seats Applied For Now
MUST MAIL APPLICATIONS
Students and organizations desiring to make advance reservations for Missouri game seats are requested to contact the manager, O. Hamilton, Manager of Athletics.
"Although the real sale of seats does not start until November 6th, we are receiving mail orders for tickets now," said Mr. Hamilton today. "It is imperative that orders be mailed to us, however, as it not only makes it easier to get the tickets given the electronic association post-mark evidence that the orders have been filed in the order in which they were received."
Practically one half of the fifteen thousand available seats are expected to be gone at the close of the opening day sale if the advance orders during the remaining two weeks continue as heavy as they have been during the past month. Close to five thousand tickets have already been applied for.

Dr. Naismith's Outdoor Basket ball Proves Popular
GAME WINS MANY FANS
The new game Dr. James Naismith invented for the soldiers on the border is proving popular here. No name has been given it but eight classes under Physical Director C.B. B. Jenkins are located near the women's tennis courts back of the gym, and are similar to basketball courts except that the baskets have no back stops. There is a semicircle back of the court from which players are allowed to try for the basket. The distance from
The game has the advantage of being an outdoor game and two more men can be used than in basketball, an extra forward and an exert guard on each side. Since there are four fifty six men can practice at me time.

Mr. Harrison expresses the opinion that the game will spread to other schools and be of especial interest for all players. It also develops players for the long pass and is of considerable aid to basketball players.
