GOHEEN GETS FIRST TICKET
Give me a trial.
W. H. CHARLTON,
Distributor.
Purchased Number One of Student Enterprise Admission
R. L. Goheen, second year pharmic,
has the distinction of being the first
person to purchase an athletic ticket
for the coming season. He made his
purchase of Registrar George O.
Foster Friday morning.
"I expect them to come in pretty lively from now on," said Mr. Foster during a dull moment in which the line of students waiting to obtain tickets had dwindled. "We ought to sell a great many more tickets this year than ever before. With both Nebraska and Drake on the football schedule for games on McCook, to say nothing of the other attractions included in the books, every student should avail himself of the opportunity to secure a season ticket at the reduced price."
Today is the day to get that pair of gym shoes, girls! A new shipment received at Carroll's."-Adv.
Jake Fast had an especially good day Friday, making all the scores put over by the Varsity against McCarty and Sproull's tyros and carrying the ball most of the time. The former Bakerie seems a sure bet for the Varsity.
As usual, the book of tickets sells for five dollars. This includes not only admission to all athletic contests, but to the debates, glee club concerts, and orchestra and band entertainments staged during the year.

THUNDERING THOUSAND
WILL WEAR K. U. COLORS
A plan to deck the Thundering Thousand in crimson and blue hats on the football field was announced this morning by Joe Gaitskill, cheerleader. Gaitskill will have the hats here in time for the first Conference game, that with Drake on Oct. 16. He plans to seat the rooting section so that a big blue K will appear in a background of crimson.
The program for the rally on the eve of the William Jewell game is being completed today. "Parson" Spots, famous cheerleader in 1911-12, has been invited to lead in a few Rock Chalks, and Olcott, Hamilton and James will be on the program for speeches.
For the benefit of those students who daily travel out to Hamilton Field to watch Olecott's squad in practice, the Daily Kansan here gives a list of the players with numbers. These are the numerals given out at the beginning of the season, but it is expected the payers will all be renumbered for the opening game. Jawel Saturday, 1. Reber; 3. Capt. James; 4. Bell; 5. Groft; 6. Strother; 9. Meyn; 13. Fitzgerald; 14. Lindsay; 16. L. Gillispie; 18. Holt; 12. Neilson; 2. B. Gillispie; 23. Faste; 24. Hammond-Calkine; 25. Reedy; 26. Wood.
A big bonfire in front of Fraser will be the signal for the beginning of the nightshirt parade after the game.
Without looking up the first name of Frost, a Varsity prospect, it is a safe bet that it is Jack.

HE KEEPS THEM BUSY Olcott Takes Football Men for Little Jaunt of Ten Miles Sunday
Sunday
The Jayhawker football team lost a letter man of last year when Vie Housholder announced that he would not participate further in college athletics. Housholder's action was unlocked for by members of the squad and his loss will be felt in oil 01. The work of a veteran line. Excessive work in preparing for his master's degree was given as the reason for his withdrawal.
In spite of the rainy weather Saturday and muddy rains Sunday the squad was given a hard workout Saturday morning and their weekly ten mile hike on Sunday afternoon. The Haskell- Kansas Wesleyan game on the Haskell Field was the attraction for the men on Saturday morning. Watching the other fellow run around in the mud formed a pleasing pastime for the Jayhawkers as well as an instructive one.
Although the first game of the season is Saturday no lineup of the team has been announced by Olcott. Every day sees a shift in the line or back-field and it is possible that a very large squad will be used in the William Jewell game. Lindsey will doubtless do the punting for the squad for his spirals outdistance those of any rival for his berth. Drop kicking is also a specialty of the and many points are expected by the field goal route while he is in the game. Hammond, the 210 pound guard, who arrived on the scene last week has taken to the game in his old style and his presence has proved a great help to the weight of the line. Reber has been changed back to his end position again after a trial at tackle. Saturday's game will probably see him in this position.
Wood and Lindsey are the only veterans in the backfield but there is an abundance of material to fill the other three places. Holt, Fast, Burch, Gorrill and Todd are making strong bids for these jobs and will probably get a trial in the first game.
CAPPER MAY START GAME
Governer is Invited to Kick Off at Kansas-Aggie
Contest
Manhattan, Kans., Sept. 27—The lightest squad not only in the Missouri Valley conference but in the history of football in the Kansas State Agricultural college is what John R. Bender, coach and director of athletics, claims for his team which has begun scrimmage work preparatory to the opening game on October 1. with Southwestern College.
"The boys are tall and ranged," said Coach Bender today, "and one would judge that they would average 180 or 155 pounds, but they tip the scales at only 163. I am well pleased with the fighting spirit shown; the boys are full of pep."
Arthur Capper, governor of Kansas, will be asked to kick off at the opening of the big home-coming game Aggies vs. K. U. on Ahearn field, October 23—according to Coach Bender.
"Help beat K. U." is the ery already raised by the students and towards that end energy will be centered.
The distribution of twenty-two Varsity sweaters to the football squad, Friday night, caused the report that those players that didn't get one, were not on the first squad. Manager Hamilton explained it however by saying that there were only twenty-two of the sweaters in the athletic association's store team and consequently only distribute the number. The other players will be given blankets to protect them from the chill north wind that is beginning to sweep down on the field these autumn afternoons.
Now comes Coach Brewer of Missouri with the prediction that it will be the Cornhuskers that win this year's Missouri Valley gridiron championship. Maybe so, but if Brewer's prediction is as reliable as the rest of the story which also told of Stryker being in the K. U. line, Crimson and Blue rooters won't worry so awfully much.
THE RAINS HINDER RUNNERS
Cross Country Aspirants Are Compelled to Run on Paved Streets
The rains of the past week have confined members of the cross country squad to the paved streets for the greater part of their practice. Each day twenty-five or thirty men under the leadership of Capt. Fred Rodkey run from two and a half to five miles.
The try-out for the team will come the latter part of October at the interclass meet. The six men finishing first will constitute the team. A cup is offered as first prize in this meet and medals as second and third prizes,
The Missouri Valley Conference meet will be held about a week later but the place has not yet been determined as it is not known whether Drake, Washburn and the Aggies will enter teams. Captain Rodkey is hoping that the meet will be held here and is sure that in case it is, K. U. will easily take first place. Rodkey says that some of the new material is showing up well and indications are that Baltz, sophomore Engineer, and Green, a junior, will show up well in the try-out, but so early one can not tell; things may change materially within a week.
huge make over.
The course will be changed from ast year, the team turning to the 10th instead of south after reaching the western end of the campus. This, lodkey says, is the best available.

Fresh and Sophs May Enter Athletics Instead of Regular Gym
Work
Professor Lorenz desires to correct the impression that the new forms of specialized athletics are compulsory for freshmen and sophomores. The idea of this new system is to make it possible for every 'man to learn the rudiments of the different games, not to confine himself alone to football, baseball or tennis, but to familiar with soccer, basketball and other forms as well. This will make it possible for all man who has never seen scopes to be developed along proper lines and without fear of serious injury such as he might receive in scrimage with the hardened veterans of the gridiron.
It is planned by Mr. Lorenz to take the freshmen that McCarty weeds out and keep them at football three days a week. This will give them the actual amount of time that ordinarily would be spent in the gym and will be more to the liking of the students taking gym.
HACKNEY WOULD HAVE
LECTURES ON SPORTS
Students in the big state schools won't hiss the umpire because he doesn't enforce clean play on their teams, if the ideas of the Board of Administration are carried out.
Ed. T. Hackney, president of the Board, has sent a letter to the president of each of the institutions suggesting that the athletic department give a series of lectures on football, baseball, and basketball, open to the entire student body. This is an innovation in college life.
It is felt by the Board that a knowledge of the purpose, details, and benefits of each of the big intercollegiate sports will increase interest and attendance at the games, and will insure cleaner sport.
At a meeting of the committee appointed by the National Inter-collegiate Association in New York, it was decided that all amateur basketball should be played according to collegiate rules. Heretofore some schools have the A. A. U. rules, while high school games have been conducted according to Y. M. C. A. regulations.

FOLLOW COLLEGE RULES
legislatures.
The abolition of the last two mentioned is received gladly in University circles because the change of play has been quite a handicap to freshmen who have been playing the high school game. Few changes were made in collegiate rules.

To Decide on Secretary
At the board meeting of the Y. M. C. A. in Myers Hall, tomorrow afternoon, the question of the secretary-ship of the Y. M. will be decided. At present there is no secretary and consequently work is not settled. H. L. Heinzmann, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A., who spoke at the morning meeting yesterday, will be present and will help in the decision.
Willis G. Whitten, a senior in the department of architectural engineering, and Charles J. Fee, a junior in the College, had pledged Kanza.
