LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SEPTEMBER 29,1908.
CATHOLICS NEXT
COACH QUIGLEY WILL LINE UP HUSKIES SATURDAY.
St. Mary's Takes the Place or Ottawa University Team— in Second Game.
The line up of the team for the season has of course not been decided on. There are so many good candidates out that the sifting down process that started with the first practice will probably not end until the Washburn game on November the seventh. Before that date five games are to be played and every eligible man will be given a thorough tryout.
The game last Saturday developed the fact that the Kansas line is going to be strong this year. There is plenty of beef and strength in the line and as soon as Kennedy and Mosse, some clever coaches, get the linemen to work together the forward part of the Jayhawker team will do its share in earning victories.
Next Saturday the Jayhawkers will play their second game of the season when they tangle with the St. Marys eleven on McCook. Originally Ottawa University was booked for this date but the Baptists were slow getting into shape and canceled the date. St. Marys has a fast, light team that is most adept at the open game. Coach Kennedy expects to make forward passing and onside kicking the feature of the Kansas play this season, and the Catholics were booked for next Saturday to give our warriors a little practice and training in the new game.
All the men who tried out in the back field Saturday showed up well. Steele, Stephenson, Waring, Fiske, Bond, and Myers were up to the standard of the back field of past years. Besides these there are several other prominent candidates chief among whom is Tom Johnson, who ought to land a berth some place among the backs. Cecil Newbold, a prominent track man has begun trying out for quarter-back.
Notice.
NUMBER 5
There will be a tryout for the election of three new members of the Kansan board, commencing with the next issue of the paper. It will last two weeks.
Don't forget that Wiedemann has his candy put up in pound and one-half pound packages. You don't have to wait.
TYPHOID FEVER APPEARS.
Two Cases on Oread Avenue- Precautions Being Taken.
Two cases of typhoid fever the first sickness in the University this year, were reported this morning by Drs. E. Smith and E. J. Blair. Willis Masemore, a junior law, who rooms at 16 West Adams, has been sick for the past few days. Last evening upon calling in Dr. E. J. Blair, he was notified that he had every symptom of the disease. In speaking of the affair over the phone, Dr. Blair stated that he would not say positively that it was typhoid fever without conducting a microscopic examination, but that it presented every symptom of typhoid.
The second case is that of Elmer W. Columbia, who rooms at 1228 Oread avenue. Mr. Columbia has been confined to his room since last Saturday, and upon calling in Dr. E. Smith, was told that he had typhoid. Dr. Smith will not state emphatically that such is the case but that it presented every symptom. Neither of the boys were members of the Hospital Association, and left for their homes this morning.
How Would You Like This?
The tactics, "coup d'etat," used by the sophomore class on last Wednesday so successfully proved a miserable failure today noon when the Junior law class bolted the ticket that was nominated by the ring and elected Erle Wilson as president over Charles Rummell, the nominee, by a majority of thirty-two votes when there were only forty votes cast. The rest of the ticket is as follows: vice president, Watson Campbell; secretary, Miss Kathleen Calloway, and Lewis Sawyer for treasurer. The last three named had no opposition.
Wanted Some Cheap Bread.
H. A. Kohman, '08, returned Saturday from Cincinnati. He has been traveling in the East since August 16 in the interest of the Breadmakers' Association, looking at bakeries in Kansas City, Washington, Pittsburg, Toronto, Can., Chicago and Cincinnati. Mr. Kohman has a fellowship at here this year and will try to find some cheaper or better method of making bread.
The freshman class will hold an open caucus, Wednesday evening at 7:30 in room 5 Fraser Hall. This is to prevent "railroading" tactics attempted by two tickets now in the field.
Freshmen Caucus.
SENIORS ELECT
DECIDED VICTORY FOR FIRST TICKET IN FIELD.
Evans and Poindexter for Manager of Annual Had Closest Race. Majorites From 15 to 89.
With an attendance of nearly two hundred the Senior class in chapel today noon elected what was known as "The Senior Class Ticket" by majorities ranging from 15 to 92. In some ways it was a landslide. It was hard for the onlooker to tell where the lines were drawn. There were Fraternity men on both tickets but the dose of fraternity candidates on the "Representative Ticket" appears to have been too heavy for the class to swallow. Marlin Poindexter, a Phi Delt, however was beaten by only fifteen votes but this was perhaps due to the fact that he received most of the fraternity vote. After a squabble of several minutes the three year Law men were allowed to vote.
The class officers chosen with the majorities they received is: President, Carl Pleasant, no opposition; Vice-President, Guy Mosher, defeated Pat Crowell by majority of 45; Treasurer, Ed Emmett, defeated Carl Ball by a majority of 92; Editor of the Annual, August Krehbiel, defeated Fred Lyons by a majority of 75; Manager of the Annual, Bert Evans, defeated Marlin Poindexter by a majority of 15; Chairman of the Play Committee, Paul Faragher, defeated Jessie Baldridge by a majority of 89. Tom Veach was elected without opposition as Manager of the Senior Play. Gertrude Copley had no opposition for Secretary of the Class.
Barbs Are Scarce.
The Freshmen met in Snow Hall this morning but immediately adjourned to prevent being grafted by the "frats." The meeting had been called for the purpose of electing some class officers. There were two tickets in the field. One of them had been nominated at a caucus at the Y. M.C.A. house the night before. It was supposed to be a "Barb" meeting but when this morning's sun arose it was discovered that the ticket nominated was a "frat" ticket. Then another ticket was nominated. Twenty minutes later it was discovered that this too was composed of fraternity men. Then in despair the good honest barbs got out some posters an nouncing that it was all a "graft," and adjourned until to morrow evening when another caucus will be held with the hopes of getting a straight "Barb" ticket.
Deitrich the Issue.
A landslide of votes struck Roy Deitrick yesterday in the Junior election and he was defeated by a new man in class affairs,"Fritz" Fairchilds. The lines in the election appear to have been drawn simply on the question of Deitrich himself. In the class last year he had everything in his hands and became so prominent by his able management of the class that the class politicians thought it time to shelve him. He was disposed of by a vote of 121 to 85. The other officers elected were: Vice-president, Ralph Harmon; secretary, Keene Fones; treasurer, Ed Banker.
