"NO CHANCE FOR THE OLD GAME"
PREJUDICE TOO GREAT.
SAYS CHANCELLOR.
Desires Permanent Solution of Football Problem That Will Do Away With Agitation.
To the Editor of the Kansan:
The statement in the last Kansan in regard to football, so far as my views are concerned, was not quite accurate. The Kansan reporter and I had a long conversation on the subject, covering almost every phase of the question, and in condensing the conversation the misunderstanding occurred. I do not favor the return to the old style football played before 1905, because I see no chance that we could get back to the old style game without so strong a prejudice on the part of those well qualified to speak as to endanger any kind of football whatever.
I was, however, much impressed with Coach Kennedy's statement that it is impossible to graft the open English game upon the American game. Such action results in a hybrid game, which is productive of many injuries. The more I thought about it the more I was convinced that Coach Kennedy's statement had much reason in it, namely, that we should either go back to the old Ameri can game, the so-called closed game, and play that, or else that we should go to the English Rugby game and play that.
I am very clear in my own mind that we need a good strenuous game for men to play during the fall season, and I am anxious that the outcome of this whole discussion shall be a permanent solution of the whole question so that we shall not be torn up every year or two by discussions of our athletics. I see no chance for the old game; I do not want football abolished; therefore I shall use my endeavor toward any solution of the problem that, whether the Rugby game or a strongly modified American game be adopted shall forever, I hope, do away with the insistent charges made against our athletics.
While we are on the matter of organization I believe that the whole system should be gone into not only in regard to the rules of the game, but in regard to every thing else connected with it. I am anxious for a permanent solution of the question on a basis so reasonable that we may have quiet and permanence in regard to our fall athletics.
FRANK STRONG. Chancellor.

BASEBALL TEAM BEING PICKED
NEARLY ALL POSITIONS PRACTICALLY SETTLED.
The Pitching Staff and Players in the Outer Garden the Only Ones in Doubt.
The baseball team for the coming season is now practically picked. With the exception of the pitching staff and the outfield, Coach Ebright has decided upon the men who will enter the first scheduled games of the season for Kansas.
For the past several weeks a number of men who represent the best material in the University have been doing practice duty on McCook. The workouts have given the coach a chance to inspect the men from every viewpoint and he confidently believes that the team of 1910 will show the 1909 squad a number of the finer points of the game.
"The pitching staff is some what up in the air," said Coael Ebright this morning. "Four men are doing good work, but since the staff can only carry three, one of the players will have to be dropped."
"The outfield is also unsettled Five men are doing good work and I cannot say at this time which three will be retained."
The men who seem to be practically settled upon and the positions they will play are: Catheer, Rockefeller; first base, Walker; second bace, Palmer; short stop, Hamlon or J. Smith; third base, Huff or Ward. The pitchers who are making the best showing; at the present time are Heizer Farrel, Sevins and Doyle.
In the outfield Harvey, Haller Lobaugh and Wilhelmi are contesting for positions. Jim Smith is also a likely candidate for a position in the outer garden in the event that he is not used at short stop.
A practice game will be held the latter part of this week and the first matched games have been scheduled with Haskell for Apri 8 and 9. After that time the team will be definitely announced.
Was a Phi Delta Phi
David J. Brewer, associate justice of the supreme court of the United States, who died last night in Washington, D.C., was elected an honorary member of the local chapter of Phi Delta Phi in 1897. Although Justice Brewer was never a student at the University, he was greatly interested in the school and especially in the development of the Law school.
Preparations are being made by the members of Phi Alpha Delta, honorary fraternity in the Law School, to celebrate the first anniversary of their installation at the University. A banquet which the Kansas City chapter of this fraternity will attend, will be the feature of the celebration It will be held at the Eldridge house, April 17.

REBEL AT "HASH AND'
Michigan Seniors Quit Eating for Revenge.
Overcome by the prospect of facing hash once and sometimes even twice a day, two well known seniors decided that starvation was far better than that, so they stopped eating last Thursday and have been subsisting upon air and books ever since, says the Michigan Daily. Needless to say air formed the greater part of their meals.
For five days neither of the two touched a morsel of food, attending classes regularly and appearing just as strong as usual. While the latter fact may seem a little wide of that very narrow mask truth, still it is a fact and may be vouched for by the presence of bruised faces among certain men of their acquaintance who decided they were in a fit condition to be manued.
The last was broken yesterday afternoon and from now until next Monday the aforesaid two will live on nothing but milk which in Ann Arbor means a die of diluted water.
No one is worried over the out come save the boarding house keepers. They glance fearfully at the hash and then sigh to think that if the fever spreads they may be forced to eat it themselves Undoubtedly it is nourishing food, but the prospect of being forced to consume it themselves palls upon them and they are fast losing that rosy and robust appearance which has made them famous.
Fads of a more comic nature than this have reached Ann Arbor and contaminated the entire student body, but of this one there need be no fear. Next to his leisure there is nothing a student likes so well as three and possibly four meals a day.
The course of dieting mentioned above may result in additional brawn and muscle, but the majority believe that an excellent steak will go a much longer way toward making a Samson of the ordinary man.
TWO SCHOLARSHIPS OPEN.
Junior and Senior Women May Apply.
Two scholarships are open to the young women of the junior and senior classes of the University this month.
One is known as the Marcella Howland Memorial scholarship. It is in the form of a gift and applications for it will be received until May 1.
The committee which receives applications for the first scholarship is composed of Professors Galloo, Hyde and Oliver. The committee which represents the second consists of Mrs. Clara P. Smithmeyer, Miss Hannah Oliver and Mrs. W. A. Griffith.
The second is the Lucinda Smith Buchan Memorial scholarship and consists of a loan of $200 for two years without interest. The same time limit of receiving applications for it as for the first is allowed.
