JAYHAWKERS DEFEAT CATHOLICS IN A HARD GAME.
Angney Scored in One Minute— Rough Playing, Pretty Forward Passes the Features.
In a game replete with sensational plays and spectacular tackling, Coach Kennedy's proteges defeated the swift St. Mary's aggregation this afternoon on McCook field in the presence of 2,500 people by a score of 14 to 2.
In one minute of play Angney made a most sensational end run for a touchdown. In the first few minutes of play the St. Mary's bunch were badly in the air, and Kansas made long gains on every down. Forter was in usual form, punting forty to sixty yards against the wind. White did some phenomenal tackling and also made good gains on end runs. Angney with Miller and Milton for mates, worked the forward pass and quarterback kick to

perfection. After thirteen minutes of play Forter made a field goal from the twenty-five yard line.
St. Mary's settled down to work and made good plays on line bucks, holding Kansas for downs, once on the one yard line. The Catholic boys were weak on punting, forward passes, and in their field catching.
Milton made a difficult catch and carried the ball over for a touchdown, which was not counted as the ball was judged outside. Reed did excellent tackling, carrying the enemy back as if they were only children. Rouse and Caldwell tore
through the line like engines and made good gains when they were most needed. Carlson took Stevenson's place at guard, and Steve shifted to the position of Steele, who was taken out with a twisted ankle. First half closed 10 to 0 in favor of K.U.
In a most roughly contested second half, in which St. Marys showed superiority in forward passes, Forter kicked another field goal, and the enemy made two points on a touchback. Spiece, the speedy left half, made a phenomenal run of sixty yards, but met his Waterloo when Billy Miller shoved him down.

The half ended 5 to 2 in favor of the first year men.
EIGHT FRATERNITIES TO FORM ORGANIZATIONS AT K. U.
To Control all Inter-Fraternity Affairs—Constitution Has Been Drawn Up.
A movement is underway to form a Pan-Hellenic organization among the eight fraternities at the University. A meeting was held at the Beta House Wednesday evening, attended by two representatives from every fraternity to make the preliminary plans for the organization. A constitution was drawn which has been submitted to the various fraternities for adoption.
According to this constitution, all Pan-Hellenic affairs are to be submitted to a permanent council of 16 members, two from each chapter. The officers of the association are to be divided among the different fraternities at the University according to the date they were established at K.U., the first, third, fifth, and seventh receiving the offices the first year. According to this plan the Betas will receive the presidency, the Phi Gamas the vice-presidency, the Sigma Nus the secretaryship, and the Alpha Taus the treasurership. Next year the offices are to be divided among the other for fraternities in the same manner as this year.
The object of the Pan-Hellenic is to promote a better fraternity life at K.U. It will control all inter-fraternity affairs such as the annual debate and baseball tournament and will soon take up the social question.
Similar organizations exist among nearly all the larger Universities of America and exert a great influence in the college life.
"DAD" ELLIOT COMING.
Y. M. C. A. Man and Athlete to Speak Here Wednesday.
A. J. Elliot, International Y. M. C. A. Secretary, for the West, beginning Oct. 16, will speak five days at Kansas University, holding a series of meetings for men. Mr. Elliot, familiarly known as "Dad," is a graduate of Northwestern University. He played left end on the 'Varsity four years, and in 1901 was chosen as the all-Western end. While in school he was captain of the University track team for one year.
After graduation he became Religious Secretary of the Brooklyn, N. Y., Y. M. C. A. Since then he has been an important factor in the student conferences held at Lake Geneva.
The big meeting of the week will be held Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock in Green Hall.
JOINT RECEPTIONS TO CONTINUE
Frank Brock at Piano—Men Sing "Crimson and Blue," "Ninety- Nine Bottles."
Two hundred students attended the joint reception of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. of the University in Snow Hall last night. The lecture room was crowded to its limit by the women and men of the University. The evening was spent in singing college songs—the men who could not get within talking distance of the members of the Y. W. C. A. did most of the singing. The reception was such a success that more receptions will be given in the near future. Punch was served by the Y. W. C. A. girls.
WILL HAVE TRAINING TABLE.
Football Men Will Get Special Diet After Monday.
K. U. is to have a training table, to be started by Monday. This helps the outlook for football this season, for it places Kansas on equal footing with some of her adversaries. Nebraska has had a training table for two weeks, with Colorado about the same. Missouri, however, has no table.
Where the table will be or what it will cost the University or the football men is not yet known. Manager Lansdon, however, is receiving bids from several parties, and the Hiawatha Cafe has been spoken of as a possible location.
