LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 19, 1907.
GAME AT ST. JOE
MISSOURI ATHLETIC BOARD ACCEPTS KANSAS TERMS.
Game Is to be Played Here Next Year—Columbia Wants Game Next Year but—
Columbia, Mo., October 19 The athletic association here has accepted all the conditions asked by Kansas and has agreed to play the Thanksgiving game of football at St. Joseph this year and at Lawrence next year. The decision was made public today. The resolutions passed mean in their effect that in the future the game will be played on university grounds. Owing to the fact that neither place is able to handle the crowds this year it was thought best to play the game in St. Joseph.
The decision of the Missouri athletic board to play the game at St. Joseph ends a controversy that was started when it was learned that Kansas City would not furnish a suitable place to play the game at a price that was anywhere near reasonable. Many places for the playing of the game were suggested but none seemed to suit both schools until St. Joseph was hit upon. At a meeting of the Kansas athletic board held a few days ago it was decided to play the game at St. Joseph on condition that Missouri come here next year. Before this Missouri had agreed to play in either St. Joseph or Joplin but wanted Kansas to come to Columbia the next year. St. Joe has made the two universities a very fair proposition by agreeing to furnish the place in which to play the game free of expense. Kansas City wanted $22\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. of all the receipts. The bringing of the Thanksgiving game to Lawrence next year means that this place instead of Kansas City will be the Mecca for thousands of the members of the alumni at that time.
ON DIET OF RAW MEAT.
Thirteen Athletes Are Boarding at Training Table.
NUMBER 10
The football training table has been established at Mrs. Garret's. The first meal was served Tuesday morning. The table costs $6.25 per week per man, the men paying $3.25 and the University $3.00. There will be more men put into training next week but at present there are only thirteen men: White, Miller, Crowell, Rice, Stevenson, Carlson, Steele, Forter, Dennis, Rouse, Reed, Perry and Ransom.
ONE TICKET IN THE FIELD
The Athletic Election Is Coming but All Is Quiet—Barbs Have a Ticket.
The election for the choosing of the officers to fill the different positions in the athletic association will be held Wednesday of next week if the usual custom is followed but it is highly probable that unless the contest grows warmer between now and then the election will occur at 12:15 in chapel on Tuesday. It has always been the custom to call a meeting of the athletic association and then to put off the voting until the next day in order to vote by the Australian system of ballot, but there has always before been a contest and so far this year there are no indications that one will develop. If there is only one ticket in the field it will not be necessary to hold a regular election.
So far there has been no enthusiasm manifested over the outcome of the coming election and the politicians seem to be sleeping the sleep of the just. Only one ticket has so far been placed in the field. The "barbs" got together in "Red" Burt's room Wednesday and put up the following strong combination: Vice-president, Ben Hennessy; athletic board, Wm. Caldwell, Dick Priest, Pat Crowell, Urban Angney; chairman of the football committee, Badger, of the freshman team; chairman of the base ball committee, Ed Jennings; chairman basket ball committee, committee, Edwin Cooley; chairman tennis committee, Tom Lee. There was little fighting in the caucus.
The first meeting of the Quill Club of the University of Kansas will be held Tuesday at 4:30 in Room 10. Prof. E. M. Hopkins will address the club on the history and work of the Quill Club. The active membership this year will be limited and all the members of the club should be present Tuesday at the first meeting.
There has been no talk of another ticket being placed in the field and it is thought the athletic election will pass with the same tameness that has characterized all the class elections.

BENNY OWENS' PURILS NO MATCH FOR KANSANS.
Two Touchdowns in First Half, A Field Goal in the Second— Made Kansans 15 Points.
Norman, Oklahoma, Oct. 19. Again today Benny Owens' ball players met defeat in a hard fought game with the Jayhawkers at this place by a score of 15 to 0.
It was evident from the blow of the whistle until the last score was made in the last half by the kicking of a field goal that the team from Lawrence was the superior of the Norman aggregation in every particular.
In the first half the Kansans played a whirlwind game and after a few minutes of play succeeded in scoring a touchdown. They failed to kick goal, but before the close of the half succeeded in placing the pig-skin again behind the posts and this time kicked a goal.
In the second half both teams played a desperate game neither side getting a touchdown, but near the close of the game Kansas kicked goal making the final score 15 to 0.

Lectured by Proxy.
Ralph Faxon, private secretary to Senator Long, was unable to lecture to the newspaper classes Friday morning as announced. Mr. Faxon spent part of the morning at the University but found it necessary to take the 11:08 train for Junction City in order to keep an engagement at that place at three o'clock. The length of the Friday morning chapel service thus made it impossible for Mr. Faxon to meet the classes in journalism, and Mr. Flint hit upon the novel idea of having Mr. Faxon lecture by proxy. The substance of what he had to say in his address was hastily dictated to Mr. Flint's secretary and the manuscript was read by Mr. Flint to the newspaper classes.

A Scene of Activity Where New Buildings Are To Be.
Comparatively few students on the Hill are aware of the extensive preparations for the building of the General Engineering building that are taking place west of the Gymnasium. Owing to the fact that the hauling to the site of the new building has been around the west side of the Hill, the students have not noticed any particular bustle. The contracting company, the Manhattan Construction Co., is a much larger concern than any of the firms that have heretofore built on the Hill. They are erecting a complete shop on the grounds, planing mill, circular saws and blacksmithing. All the mill work will be done on the Hill. When a wagon load of material arrives on the grounds, it is unloaded in a few minutes with a derrick.
MANY TAKING FINE ARTS.
Supt. Crocker is constructing a new road around close to the building under construction. The new road will be a continuation of the one that runs between the Law building and Fraser Hall and will gradually be curved around to the north until it comes immediately behind McCook Field. There will then be a continuous boulevard from Oread avenue to Warren street.
A quarry is being opened immediately north of the building site, and the native rock will have to be carried only a short distance to be prepared for the walls of the new building.
Enrollment 130—Annual Exhibition of Paintings in March.
Refreshments.
Many students are taking work in the department of painting and drawing this year. Professor Griffith states that the present enrollment is 130 and of this number about 24 are regularly enrolled in the school of Fine Arts and devote all their time each day to this department.
The annual exhibition of the school will be held during the second term, beginning March 4,1908.
In addition to this, Professor Griffith has arranged for an interesting exhibition of Japanese prints which will be shown during the month of November.
