READY FOR GAME
SEASON OPENS WITH WILLIAM JEWELL SATURDAY.
The Jayhawkers will line up for the first game of the season Saturday, when they meet William Jewell on McCook field. This will be the second game of the season for the Missouri school, their first being defeat at the hands of Ottawa University last Saturday by a score of 10 to 0.
Coach Kennedy and his corps of coaches have been putting the Jayhawkers through hard scrimmage work in preparation for the game and Saturday should find them in perfect trim.
Tuesday evening Angney demonstrated his claim to the quarterback position by holding the 'Varsity down with the scrub team and by making repeated long gains through the line and around the ends.

TO COMPETE AT ST. LOUIS.
Drake, the Discus Thrower Is Making a Splendid Record.
Drake, the husky Emporia lad, who holds the University record in the Discus throw, will go to St. Louis Saturday to compete in the Western A. A. U. championship games. This is not a handicap meet and he stands an excellent chance of winning first honors.
In the free for all meet at the K.C.A.C. grounds last Saturday, Drake threw the discus 112.4 feet. This is within two feet of his record here last year.
NUMBER 5
Martin Delaney, manager of K. C. A. C. athletics, in speaking of the meet said, "Drake is the best material for the discuss in the West. With practice he will soon be champion of this end of the country."
A high school lad with a handicap of 35 feet took first place, making a throw of 96 feet. Branham of Missouri, with a 20-foot handicap, took second place by a toss of 102 feet. Drake was allowed a small handicap and took third place.
Professor Bailey of the Department of Chemistry, is at present engaged in an analysis of the water supply of the different student boarding clubs. This water supply is taken cheifly from wells so that the examination of city water supply recently made gives no light on the subject of purity of water supply of the clubs. The work will be concluded and the results published in a few days.

SENIOR ELECTION
TICKET WENT THROUGH WITHOUT ANY OPPOSITION.
"Frats" and "Barbs" Both Represented. Allan Dodge the New President.
In one of the most peaceful and lamblike elections held at University in years, the senior class yesterday chose the officers that will represent them in this their last year at K. U. The meeting was a regular lovefest, not a sign of a scrap being evident. The ticket was a strong one, equally divided between the "barbs" and fraternities, the honors being given without an exception to the men who had worked hardest for the class in the last three years.
The ticket went through unanimously as follows: Allan Dodge, president; Roy Cook, vice-president; Susie Schaffer, secretary; Clifford Corp, treasurer; Carl Young, editor of the annual; John Schwinn, manager of annual; Cecil Forter, chairman of Play committee; Frank Parker, manager of Play.
GLEE CLUB BEST EVER.
Prof. C. E. Hubach Makes a Call for Men Tonight.
Last Monday night the Glee Club held its first rehearsal. About fifty men have joined the squad and others are expected to join at the practice tonight.
An interesting trip has been planned by the management which will include a week's tour of the state and a number of one night engagements outside the state.
The program of musical numbers for the season has been well selected by Professor Hubach, and comprises some new and beautiful features. "Paul Revere's Ride," by Dudley Buck, will be given, and "Tobasco Land," a.laughable musical comedy given by Princeton Glee Club last season, will comprise the second half of the program.
"All men of the University are asked to come out and try for the club," said Professor Hubach, "and this should be the best year in the history of our organization."
PROM CAUSED DELAY IN GYM.
Finishing Work May Be Taken from Hands of Contrators.
The new gymnasium will not be opened for some time. The contractors could not finish the necessary odds and ends by the time first announced, October 1. The work is proceeding rapidly and the plumbing seems to be the principal cause of the delay.
By entering the building last May for the Junior Prom, the University forfeited the right to impose the usual contractor's fine.
The regents in their last meeting decided that the work must be completed by October I or the building would be taken from the hands of the contractors, and finished independently. The regents will be here this week to make a final decision in the matter.
TO HAVE SCRUB TEAM.
Strong Second Team Schedule Has Been Arranged.
K. U. will have a second team in football this year, composed of scrub 'Varsity material. Under the Chicago Conference Rules the freshmen cannot play out-of-town games this year. The tyros have made enviable records in years past, which the scrubs will have to hustle to equal.
The schedule for the second team is: Wentworth, October 4; Midland, date undecided; Campbell, date undecided; K. S.A.C.Second, November 2; Warrensburg, date undecided; Emporia College, date undecided.
New Fellow in Chemistry.
Mr. E. L. Tague, who was last year a student in the Mining engineering department of the University, has accepted the Fellowship in chemistry, to take the place of Mr. Peterson, resigned. Mr. Tague spent the spring and summer in the employ of the Iola Portland Cement company at Fort Worth, Texas, and later began the work of examining mines for the same company in Washington, which position he resigned to accept the appointment here.
