GAME WAS RUNAWAY FOR JAYHAWKERS.
Normal Team Was Light and Did Not Last Long.—30 Men Were Used by Kennedy.
This afternoon in the first game of the local season the Jayhawkers defeated the Emporia Normals on McCook field by the one-sided score of 55 to 0. From start to finish there was nothing but Kansas to the contest, and while the team of Kennedy and Mosse is not a finished product the men played a better game than most of the rooters expected.
The line today was generally strong and the heavy weights used their size and generally their heads to advantage. The game developed the fact that there is a surfeit of linemen for the team. Not only that but the new men in the back field played a fast, heady game. The veterans Bond and Johnson starred of course but they had some worthy company.
The Kansans used straight line plunging interspersed with end runs almost entirely. The forward pass was hardly used, and it was fairly successful. The Normal team was light, but it put up a fighting game. The work of Rhine and Douglass featured the play of the visitors.
PLAY IN DETAIL
Play began at 3:40. Johnson kicked off to the 10 yard line. On the third down, Emporia punted 35 yards and Johnson returned 20 yards, Pleasant went over the line after four minutes of play for first touchdown. Bond missed goal. Normal kicked and Wilhelm, Bond, and Caldwell lost ball after three downs on offside penalty. K.U.made 15 yards on forward pass, Johnson to Bond. Bond made 10 yards. In 10 minutes of play Johnson went over for a touchdown. Bond missed goal! After the kickoff K.U. went rapidly down the field on a rapid series of linebucks and short end runs. After 15 minutes of play Bond went over for the third touchdown, but missed his goal.
Abernathy then went in for Ford. Normal made 15 yds. on forward pass. Emporia made first down but then resorted to a punt, K. U. getting the ball. The Jayhawkers on end runs and line bucks succeeded in placing the ball and Caldwell over the line for the fourth touchdown. Bond, however, failed to catch Johnson's poor kickout, losing chance for goal. 23 minutes of play Randall made the fifth touchdown as a result of long end runs. Johnson sent the ball squarely over the goal. Time ended with the ball on the Normals 10 yard line, with Kansas making heavy gains.
SECOND HALF.
The second half was a repetition of the first except that the second 'Varsity team played
OLD STARS WERE EASY.
Indians Won At Fair Grounds Yesterday, 26 to 0.
The football game at the county fair grounds yesterday between the Haskell Indian team and an eleven made up of old college stars calling themselves the Independence business college team, resulted in an easy victory for the Indians. The score was 26 to 0. For the Indians, the work of Nevitt and Ogalla, quarterback and center, was especially brilliant.
Pipkin, a member of the Independence team, was seriously injured during the game. A fracture of the cheek bone resulted from a collision with the Indian captain. Pipkin was unconscious for a time after the injury and later was taken to the Beta house to be cared for He is a Beta from Fulton, Mo
The old University of Kansas men on the team which played against the Indians were Clarence Dennis, who was elected captain of the track team two years ago, Charles Ise, for several years a star fullback, and Ben Jones, a member of last year's freshman team.
most of it. The Normals kicked off. After an exchange of punts and an attempt at a forward pass the K. U. team secured the ball and after successfully working the forward pass crowded it across the Normal line for a touchdown. Johnson kicked goal.

TO LOCATE
THE ROUTE
STREET CAR LINE ON CAMPUS SOON.
University Committee and Corporation Representatatives Met Thursday.
Representatives of the Lawrence Street Railway Company and of the University met in the Chancellor's office Thursday to discuss details in regard to the route of the line across the campus. Those representing the University were Chancellor Strong, Dean J. W. Green, Regent Hopkins, Professor W. C. Hoad and purchasing agent E. E. Brown.
Professor Hoad was instructed to locate the exact route of the street car line across the campus, specifications of which are to be attached to the formal agreement when signed.
The line will come up Mississippi street running back of the Chemistry building across the top of the hill between the Gymnasium and Fowler Shops and then to Ontario street. Two shelter stations will probably be built on the campus, one in Marvin Grove back of Green Hall and the other near the repair shops. The buildings will be 12x20 feet in dimensions and will be entirely open on one side.
Moving Engineer's Library.
The street car people say that cars will be running on the campus in a month and a half unless the injunction prohibiting them to work on Ontario street is sustained at the hearing on September 29. The board of regents will be here the first of next month for a final conference with the railway company.
EntertainedStudents and Faculty.
Prof. and Mrs. L. E. Sayre informally entertained the students and faculty of the school of Pharmacy to the number of fifty at his home Thursday evening. Prof. Sayre has frequently entertained the Pharmacy classes at different times in past years but this year invited all the students together.
The engineering library is being moved from Spooner library to the new engineering building. The library room at the engineering building is on the first floor, at the west end. Only the technical books covering civil, mechanical and electrical engineering will be moved to the new quarters. Miss Rebecca Moody will be the librarian in charge at the engineering building.
Miss Clara Converse, a senior in the College, went to her home in Ottawa, Friday evening, to visit her parents and to attend a Christian Endeavor rally.

ADVISORY BOARD APPOINTED
Chancellor Names Three Faculty Advisors for Each Council.
The Chancellor appointed the members of the two advisory boards to the student councils of the University yesterday. The members of the men's committee are Vice-chancellor W. H. Carruth, Professor W. E. Higgins and Professor A. T. Walker. Those who will compose the committee for the women are Miss Alberta Corbin, Miss Eugene Galloo and Miss Hannah Oliver. All questions upon which either of the student councils need advice will be referred to these committees.
HAVE NEW BALANCES.
No More Waiting For Weights in Chemistry Classes.
The Department of Chemistry has received this year three new analytical balances that are said to be the best made. The balances are of German make, and are priced at $125 apiece, but the University as an educational institution, has the right to import them duty free thus reducing the price to $90. There are also twenty new sets of weights for Quantitative, which are expected to do away this year with the usual scarcity which has pervailed in former years.
Oatman Visits University
Dr. H. C. Oatman of San Diego, Calif. visited Friday with his sister Mrs. A. G. Alrich and University friends. Dr. Oatmen was graduated from the School of Pharmacy here in 1891 and then went east for his medical training. Returning to Lawrence he practised his profession here and then removed to the Pacific Coast where he has become one of the leading surgeons of his section of the country. Dr. Oatman had not been at the University of Kansas for twelve years and he was astounded at the change in the number of buildings and the general increase in equipment.
Four University of Kansas graduates who are in Lawrence will leave for Eastern schools tomorrow. Chas. Hoffman, has a fellowship in chemistry at Yale, Rees Robertson '07, holds the Austin fellowship in zoology at Harvard, Frank Klingberg, '07, M. A. '08, has a fellowship in history at Yale and Ben Stelter '06, has a fellowship in English at Yale.
The Adelphic Literary society held its first meeting for the school year yesterday afternoon in Fraser Hall. Plans for work were discussed and several new candidates were elected members of the society. The members of committees were appointed.
Miss Martin Elmore, a junior in the College has gone to Tecumseh to spend Sunday with homefolks.
Chancellor Strong went to Kansas City this morning to visit the Medical school at Rosedale.
THE STANDARD TO BE RAISED
COLLEGE NEEDS UPLIFTING SAYS CHANCELLOR.
Emphasized the Fact That the American College Is On The Wane.—Need of Simple Life.
That the American college as an institution is under criticism because of a general letting down of the standard of the moral and intellectual fiber was one of the points emphasized by Chancellor Strong in his annual address to the students delivered Friday morning in the chapel. He insisted that this tendency must not be allowed to come into the University of Kansas either by the students or faculty. To that end the courses in the College of Liberal Arts must be kept up to the standard of the technical courses and the students be given less excuse to allow an excess of social pleasures to injure the quality of the work accomplished.
As the address had special reference to the freshmen the Chancellor advised them not to be too sure that everything that was told to them was entirely correct. Especially should they not be in too much of a hurry to get rid of old conclusions in regaud to religious convictions for in this important affair a life long experience was needed to decide whether or not they were correct.
Upon all the students he urged simplicity of living. He vigorously expressed his contempt for a boy who used extravagantly the hard earned money sent him from home. Chancellor Strong plead for a high sense of democracy that all students should be judged for what they were worth in character and conduct. He believes that there is little snobbery in the University but he wants it prevented entirely.
The man who is not clean should be outlawed, said the Chancellor. The University wants no man whose influence is not right, for a bad man who is educated is worse for the state than a bad man uneducated.
Chancellor Strong closed his address with an urgent plea for the truest loyalty to the University and the highest type of college spirit. Inasmuch as this institution is the only school from which the great majority of its students will ever receive a degree the reputation of the University is of immense importance to its graduates.
Meeting of Basketball Men.
Coach W, O. Hamilton, who will have charge of both the 'Varsity and freshman basketball teams this year, announced this morning that a meeting of all men of the University who desire to tryout for the teams will be held at his office in the Gymnasium Tuesday evening at 7:30. It is the idea of the Coach to get the men working on the game by the last of next week.
