UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
400 SEE SCRIMMAGE Students Show Interest In Work of Coach Olcott's Pigskin Warriors
/
The report that football enthusiasm is dead at Kansas received a death blow yesterday afternoon when four hundred students appeared on McCook Field to watch their team line-up against a foreign foe. The Haskell Indians were scheduled to scrimage the Varsity yesterday but at the last moment they could not come and it was necessary to call in the freshman squad.
Coach Olcott's football warriors proved to be the undoing of the tyros' carefully made plans for the first scrimmage of the season. Three touchdowns and a field goal were scored by the regulars to the delight of the fans who followed the play so close that they had to scatter every time a long run or a pass was made. However, the freshmen made a good showing and they expect to take the Varsity to a "cleaning" later in the season.
season.
All styles of play were tried by the regulars and most every kind proved effective. Lindsey was there with his educated toe and succeeded in placing a drop kick over the pall from the thirty yard line. Groft and James made a pair of guards that will cause trouble for the Jayhawker opponents later in the sass. EI
At the quarterback position Ed. Todd, a novice in Varsity football, is showing such speed and headwork that is going to make Woody go some to hold his berth.
some of Kennedy's Haskell Indians are exposed to invade McCook this after noon and a harder scrimmage than yesterday's is looked for. The coaches hope to have a large crowd out today but they do not want the fans to stay so close on the field that they interfere with the players.
NEBRASKA LOSES TWO STARS
Unless Chamberlin and Abbot Return, Huskers Won't Be Dominating Factor
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 22—After five days of practice, with a stiff scrimmage bout on the final day, the football situation in the camp of the Nebraska Cornhuskers may be summed up as follows: If Halfback Chamberlain and Guard Abbott, two of Jumbo Stielhm's most dependable performers on last year's championship eleven, persist in remaining outside the fold, the 1915 Huskers will not be the dominating factor in Missouri Valley football, as they have been for the past several years. If Abbott and Chamberlain get into the moleskins, the Huskers should march straight ahead to another all-victorious season.
It is, perhaps, a bit out of the or
binary when the presence or absence
of two gridiron warriors could make
or break a football eleven, yet
Chamberlain and Abbott are so essen-
tial to the Cornhusker, as assuis
that all rules of the game, as applied
to the gridiron game, have been an-
nulled by Nebraska adherents as a
result of their worries over the abs-
ence of these two stars.
Alumni pressure is being brought to bear on Chamberlain and Abbott, both of whom are at home on the farm instead of registering for classes and getting into football duds. The present week is expected to solve the question as to whether these two stars are to be tricked to the farm or return to Huskers. In even more than the average Nebraska siblings will stand ready to predict another unbroken string of Cornhusker victories.
THE KANSAN CUB WASN'T QUITE AS BAD AS THIS
Mrs. Eustace Brown, advisor of women, is hot after the trail of a Kansan reporter who quoted her as saying that part of the Halloween party entertainment would be a dramatization of "Robert Burn's poem, 'Peter Pan.'"
Which reminds us of the old minstrel show gag about Toledo, Tennessee:
"So you live in Tennessee, do you?" runs the patter.
"What part?"
"Toledo."
"Why niggh., Toledo is in_Miss
issappl."
"Don't tell me: I was born down there."
"When did they put it over there?"
"I always has been there."
"Well, I guess you're right. I was thinking of Dayton, anyhow."

KANSAS ENGINEER TO STAY
Dean Walker's Men Vote to Make Their Publication an Annual
Affair
That the Kansas Engineer becomes a permanent and annual publication of the School of Engineering was decided at the business meeting of the various engineering societies yesterday. The magazine will be published sometime in April and will be larger and more complete than heretofore.

The editorial board which will edit the magazine was elected last spring and will have entire charge of the publication with the assistance of the faculty advisory board, of which Dean P. F. Walker is chairman. H. W. Crawford, sanitary engineer, is editor-in-chief; A. H. Wieters, civil engineer; assistant Editor; Chas. Hagbushi, mechanical engineering business manager; L. Witters, civil engineer, assistant business manager, and Ed. Tanner, architectural engineer, circulation manager.

The idea of a real publication for the School of Engineering originated two years ago when a Governing Board of the Associated Engineers' Societies was created. This board was composed of two representatives from each of the six departments in the School of Engineering. Plans failed that year but were successfully worked out the following year when the first number of the Kansas Engineer appeared.
The magazine consists of one hundred and twenty-five pages, including advertising. Nine hundred copies were printed, last year which were sold to the students at thirty-five cents each.
SPORT PICKUPS
The sophomore gym classes under Lorenz appeared on the field in football suits adding considerably to the large number of men already out for the gridiron sport.
McCarty's 180 pound backfield was not able to tear up the regulars as had been claimed yet they succeeded in pushing the pigskin over for one touchdown. The tyros are showing up well and a little more experience will enable them to hold Olcott's squad in the pinches.
A report has been circulating over the bill that "Red" Craig, baseball regular, will not be able to play this year on account of an injury received near the close of the season last spring. Although the league serious about Craig thinks that it should stand the Craig of baseball but not of football.
Bill Gray, halfback on Wheaton's squad last year, was in Lawrence Sunday but does not intend to go to school. He has a position in Chautauqua and will stay with it. Kansas loses a fast football player in Gray for his work last year was far above the average. He has some eligibility left in the University but rumor it that he will never return because that mysterious little fellow—Cupid—has strings on him.
Crisis's knee was dislocated while "tough-housing" one week before the baseball season closed last year and he was not able to finish the season. Since then he has visited expert bonestetters who have worked on the knee and say that it will be as good as ever unless too strenuous exercise is undertaken before it can stand the strain.
Word is received from "Stuff" Dunnite that he is going to have "some" football and basketball teams this year at Barnard, Kansas. He has a squad of last year's men in football which he says are big enough to clean the state. Prospects are good for a fairly good track team along with the other sports.
Cross Country Aspirants Gather and Prepare to Get Into Action
NEW TEAM ORGANIZES
A good start was given the new Jayhawker sport, cross country running, yesterday afternoon when thirty tracksters met on McCook Field to make plans for the coming season. Three times as many are expected out before the end of the week and some big times are in store for the men that make the team.
The cross country team is to be directed this year by "Pat" Patterson, 1913 track captain. He will be out every afternoon with his men and expects to work harder than any one. Rodkey will captain the squad and is expected to live up to his past reputation. Last year he won every cross country meet which he entered and broke the Missouri Valley record at Ames.
Plenty of good material is on hand and with the veterans and sixty or more new men who are expected to answer the call a good team is assured. Credit in gym is given to those men, either freshmen sophomores, who devote the necessary time to running. If the sport requires of sufficient importance, members will be given to the members of the squad.
Short talks were made at the meeting by Manager Hamilton, Coach Patterson and Captain Rodkey, urging the men to work hard on the distance running.
"I hope to see almost a hundred men out for cross country this fall," said Manager Hamilton. "It is the best training to be found for any kind of track work and if anyone is contemplating taking track in the spring I would advise them to take this opportunity to get in shape."

Conch Patterson is inclined toward revenge on Ames who has a habit of winning the annual Missouri Valley meet. "I feel that with the material we have on hand that we can easily clean up the Valley this year," said "Pat" in talking to the men.

Anyone wishing to tryout for cross country should report to the Manager's office in the gym as soon as possible for actual work starts at once.
