COACHES NOT SATISFIED
MANHATTAN GAME SHOWED WEAK POINTS.
Men Listless and Slow on Getting into Game—Put on Training Table Saturday.
After the football game Saturday evening the members of the football team went on the training table at the Eldridge house. The most likely men are at the table and the team will be picked almost entirely from them. Carlson, Reed, Crowell, Caldwell, Rice, Pleasant, Waring and Stephenson, old "K"men, and Wood, Randall, Steele, Johnson, Fiske, Bond and Dahlene, the more likely new candidates, are being kept in condition at the down town hotel.
The game last Saturday was not satisfactory to the coaches in many ways. The line is big and solid, the back field is fairly fast and heady, and yet they are not producing results. The Aggies got through the line Saturday far too often, and the Farmer defense could scarcely be bored through by the heavy Jayhawker line.
Coach Kennedy is making frantic efforts to get the team going right before Oklahoma comes at the end of this week. Bennie Owens has a team this year that has made a good record so far, and the Kansas coaches are looking for a hard fight.
One thing noticeable was the listlessness of some players. The men got into the play slowly many times and acted as if they did not care what came. Every single Aggie ran decide the color of the buttons, down under punts. Ten of the Kansan players loafed and trusted the eleventh man to get the ball.
Kansas Stands Pat.
NUMBER 11
Missouri is still corresponding with Manager Lansdon concerning the Thanksgiving game. Kansas does not care to compromise at all and is standing pat on the contract with Tebeau binding Kansas to play the game in Kansas City.

TO WEAR BLACK CAPS
FRESHMEN AND PANHELLENIC DECIDE ON COVERS.
Chancellor Appoints Committee to Assist in Revising Rules— Faculty to Enforce Them.
At a meeting of the Pan-Hellenic held yesterday at the Sigma Nu house it was decided to make the caps which fraternity freshmen are to wear black or dark blue with colored buttons denoting the school to which the "respective freshman" belongs.
The Chancellor today appointed a committee composed of Professors Higgins, Murray and Becker to confer with a student committee of upperclassmen in regard to the revision of the rules for freshmen. If the rules are revised and made absolutely fair to all concerned the faculty will then get back of a move to enforce them and a mass meeting will be called in chapel at which a permanent student council will be elected.
Freshmen Decide on Headgear.
At a meeting of the freshman class today at 1 o'clock a report from the cap committee was heard. It recommended a dark blue cap for all the freshmen, but the button is to vary in color according to the school the student is enrolled in. The college, laws, engineers, medics, etc., will all have different colored buttons. A committee for each school was appointed to decide on the color the certain school will adopt.
The cap committee was composed of the following: Babb, chairman; Allen, Dees, Charles, Larson, Johnson and Coleman. The following committees were appointed to select the color of the buttons: College; Garland and Miss Kelley; Engineers, Rauch; Laws, Holls; and Pharmacy, Van Bibber.
At the meeting it was decided to hold a dance one week from Friday night and the social committee appointed was composed of: Lewis Doyle, chairman, Lon Buzich, Glen Ferguson, Zimmerman, Bert Stauffer
Near the end of the meeting, George Rauch made a motion to exclude the upperclassmen, who had congregated in the rear of the room. There was but one dissenting vote. President Wallace appointed Van Bibber sergeant-at-arms. He proceeded to select his deputies to help oust the upperclassmen but the chairman spoke in behalf of the unwelcome guests and Van Bibber did not throw anyone out.
Miss Grace Boyle '06 visited friends in the city Sunday.
LAW BANQUET
GIVE ANNUAL FEAST AT ELD-
RIDGE HOTEL OCTOBER 29.
Next Day Is a Holiday in Honor of "Uncle Jimmy."—Banquet Early This Year.
The annual banquet of the law school in honor of Dean Green will be given Thursday evening, October 29, at the Eldridge hotel. The day following the feast has been declared a holiday for the laws and will be celebrated as "Uncle Jimmy's" day.
Winfield Scott, president of the senior laws, has appointed three committees to make arrangements for the banquet. Walter Brown, L. Taylor and W.J.Ise will look after the general features of the entertainment. W.B.Ferguson, H. L.Rogers and J.E.Teeters will arrange the program. H.C.Reed, Irwin Snattinger and O.H. Lee will look after the financial end. Attorney-General Fred Jackson and other prominent speakers will be secured for the occasion.
Dean J. W. Green beloved by every member of the law school and affectionately called "Uncle Jimmy" by the boys, has been a member of the University faculty thirty years. He is sixty-four years old. The law building which was dedicated November 3, 1905, was named in his honor. Every year the laws hold a banquet and have a holiday in honor of "Uncle Jimmy." It is generally held during dedication week, but this year was placed at an early date to avoid conflict with election.
Notice to the Faculty.
A meeting is called for Friday afternoon at 4:30 in Fraser Hall, room 15, to which all members of the University faculty are invited, who are interested in the formation of a University club. The report of a temporary committee is to be made on the project and all men of the faculty are urged to be present.

BACHELORS TO HAVE CLUB
UNMARRIED FACULTY MEM-
BERS TO BUILD.
A Committee of Five Men at Work on the Scheme-Meeting Friday.
Thirty bachelor members of the University faculty met at the Alpha Tau house last Monday evening and started plans that will probably result in the erection of a faculty club house sometime in the near future. Professor A. J. Boynton, of the economics department, was chairman of the meeting and is the originator of the idea that promises to change materially the social life of the unmarried members of the faculty.
"The idea of a faculty club house has been discussed for some time by the bachelors of the faculty. The plans are quite indefinite, but the building will in all probability be erected. It will be similar to club houses of other universities. It will contain reception and lounging rooms. Some men will be permitted to room on the second floor. Cafe service will be a prominent feature of the house," said Professor Boynton this morning to a Kansan reporter.
The plan met with great favor with the men present at the meeting. A committee composed of Professors J. N. Van der Vries, D. L. Patterson, S. L. Whitcomb, H. W. Humble and E. E. Brown, secretary of the University, was appointed to look into the advisability of the scheme. These men will report at the meeting which has been called for Friday afternoon.
It developed at the meeting that seventeen new members of the faculty this year are bachelors.
