KANSAS 24 ST. MARY'S 0
THE JAYHAWKERS WALLOPED CATHOLICS BADLY
Bond made 70-Yd. Run for Touchdown—Team Shows Great Improvement over a Week Ago.
In a game that grew heated in the last half the Jayhawkers this afternoon gave the Catholics a drubbing to the tune of 24 to 0. Kennedy's pupils showed a marvelous improvement since the first game a week ago. All the team appeared to need was a little speed and ginger. Johnson in the last half played a great game at quarter. The line was strong and Kansas gained consistently through St. Mary's defense.
FIRST HALF.
The Kansas line-up at the beginning of the game was, Dahlene, full; Waring and Fiske, halves; Steele, quarter; Rice and Pleasant, ends; Caldwell and Carlson, tackles; Wood and Reed, guards; and Speer, center. Captain Crowell was out of the contest with a bad knee and Houghton's ankle kept him on the side lines.
The Jayhawkers began the game with fierce line bucking. They advanced the ball far into St. Mary's territory but lost it on an onside punt. Pleasant, Rice and Carlson threw the Catholics back for losses in quick succession and Kansas gained the ball and after a series af line bucks, demonstrating great team work, Waring was sent across for a touchdown. Dahlene kicked goal.
On St. Mary's kick off Steele got the ball and returned it 30 yards, Pleasant got an onside kick for 25, Fiske gained 20 yards, Rice and Dahlene each tore off 7, and two line plunges added ten more. This series of plays advanced the ball the entire length of the field and showed excellent head work by Steele and fine team work. Kansas lost the ball right on the line on three line bucks.
Johnson went in at quarter, Steele shifting to half to displace Waring. The remainder of the half was fast and interesting. St. Mary's tried several forward passes but could not get away with them. Kansas did not use the new style to any great extent.
SECOND HALF.
In the second half Reed caught St. Mary's kickoff on 35 yard line and made a return
of 20 yards. Dahlene, Reed and Johnson made steady gains and Pleasant carried the ball over in six minutes of play.
Dahlene returned a kickoff 25 yards but Kansas was forced to punt. Dockery here made a brilliant play for St. Mary's, returning Johnson's punt 25 yards. Hennessey replaced Rice at end and Carlson replaced Reed. For 70 yards the Kansas machine worked without a hitch and in straight line bucks carried the ball over for a third touchdown.
Johnson made a good return of kickoff. Then Bond carried the ball between tackle and end and with perfect interference made the fourth touchdown after a magnificent run of 70 yards. The last touchdown was made in just two minutes of play.

CHANCELLOR NOT OPPOSED
FAVORS RULES IF THEY ARE PROPERLY ENFORCED.
The University. However, Will Not Tolerate Persecution of Freshmen.
NUMBER
"I am not opposed to the rules that were adopted for the freshmen but the students appear to be going at the matter from the wrong end," said the chancellor today. "Some of the rules adopted savor somewhat of persecution and I do not think those parts of the rules can be enforced," he continued. "The agitation that has been going on shows an underlying sentiment among students for the government of their own affairs and this spirit the faculty wants to encourage. I understand that the rules have back of them the support of a number of the leading students in the upper classes. If this is the case and the movement is in the hand of responsible students the chancellor will be in favor of it. Of course it must be understood that there shall be no persecution of freshmen and the University can not allow any rowdyism on the campus. This is a state institution and the students must know that the student body must conduct itself differently from what it would in a private institution. I believe that there should be a discrimination between freshmen and upperclassmen and the very fact that there is none is responsible for a large number of the troubles we have in the student body. It is not proper that a freshman come to the University and immediately jump into the social and student life of the institution.
UPPERCLASSMEN ASKED TO PAY. There was a meeting of the board of regents yesterday but no action was taken in regard to the disturbance that occurred at Snow hall Thursday but it is understood that the upperclassmen will be asked to pay for the damages done to the building. An estimate is being made of the damage which is thought will amount to about twenty-five dollars.
FRESHMEN TEN COMMANDMENTS. At a meeting of upperclassmen of the school a list of rules regulating the behavior of freshmen were drawn up. Since the days of class scraps, the freshmen have had no distinctive mark. It is intended by the rule makers to mark the

Freshmen Beat High School.
Yesterday evening Coach Rouse's Freshman football team met the Lawrence high school on the golf links and beat them by a score of 6 to 0. The Freshmen did not put up their regular style of work and played a ragged game against the city boys. "Dutch" Martin did most of the work for the first year men. The regular Freshman team was not in the game. The new conference rules prohibit scheduled games for Freshman teams. This year the tyros will play only the Haskell Indians, the Lawrence high school and the different class teams of the University.
Acacia Initiation.
The Acacia fraternity holds initiation tonight for Fred Powell, Clyde Horton, Z. Wetmore and Neil Wright.
FEE TO BE $3
AFTER OCTOBER 15 WILL COST $3 TO JOIN HOSPITAL ASS'N.
Faculty Members are Urged to Join—Association Needs 300 More Members.
At a meeting of the Hospital Association held at 12:15 Friday it was voted unanimously to raise the fee from $2 to $3 for all who join after Oct. 15th. This raise is to be in effect for the remainder of this year only. The section in regard to membership was changed to read: "That all students; students' wives and members of the faculty, but not the members of the faculties families are eligible to membership." This change was deemed necessary on account of the great risk that the association would be compelled to carry.
The membership is close to the 400 mark and it is the desire of the Association to raise this number to 700 before Oct.15th; when the raise goes into effect. Edward Gibson was elected president to fulfill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Herbert Thompson.
The executive committee met in Dr. M. T. Sudler's office Saturday to complete the plans for equipping the hospital and for planning a campaign for new members with the deans of the schools.

The annual "night-shirt" parade which was to have been held last Saturday night, will be held this evening. It will start from South park at 8:00 o'clock.
