A NEW LINEUP IN NEXT GAME
---
DECIDED CHANGE IN RIGHT SIDE AND BACKFIELD.
Steele to Play Quarter and Myers and Johnson to Play Half— Good Game Expected.
For the Oklahoma game Saturday Coach Kennedy is going to shift his team about and give some new men a chance. Crowell will be put in at right guard, Rice will take right tackle, and Hennessee will go in at right end. The left side of the line will remain unchanged, with Reed or Randall, Caldwell and Pleasant on that wing. Steele will hold down the quarterback position and Johnson will be left half. Stan Myers, an old player, is booked for the other half and Stephenson will begin the game at full.
The team has been practicing hard all week. The coaches have been especially drilling the men in the forward pass and onside kick. Kennedy is endeavoring to make the onside kick a feature of the Jayhawkers' play this season. An onside kick is as easily caught as a forward pass and can not be penalized.
"Bennie" Owens, old K. U. star, has had success with his team so far this season. Last Saturday the Sooners defeated the Oklahoma Aggies, 18 to 10. The Aggies are being coached by Parry, assistant coach here last year. Oklahoma is playing real football and the contest will probably be as close and exciting as was the Mahnattan game.
Harvard Man Coming.
Professor Castle, assistant dean of Harvard University, will visit the University of Kansas, November 19 and 20. He will speak in chapel and talk to the students of the English department.
A Small Fire.
A small blaze broke out in the quantitative laboratory of the Chemistry building Tuesday. It was caused by the overheating of a gas burner, igniting the floor beneath. Very little damage was done.
Miss Lela Ford, a colored girl who graduated from the University in 1903, died at Birmingham, Kansas, last Sunday after a brief illness. She had for several years been a successful teacher in the public schools of Topeka.
INSPECTED TREES.
Chesky and Griesa Represented University in Wichita.
The University entomological department acting in conjunction with the state board, inspected trees in Wichita last summer. The department was represented by W. S. Griesa and V. E. Chesky, both advanced students in that line of work. The state commission is making every effort to save certain varieties of trees that are being exterminated by insects and disease.
Different kinds of trees were examined by the University men. If one was found in an early stage of disease it was marked with a certain color of paint. If it was found necessary to cut the tree down another mark was used.
The boys had several amusing experiences and at times were arrested by irate property owners who thought they were trespassing.
KENT, NEW HASKELL COACH,TALKS ABOUT JAYHAWKERS.
Team Is Weak in Backfield But Shows Great Possibilities.
Coach Kent, of Haskell Institute, formerly a star football player and last year quarter back at Iowa University, saw the Jayhawkers in action last Saturday. Kent is an authority on the new style of open play. He has seen the best teams of the west in the last few years.
In discussing the Kansas team to a reporter the Haskell coach said, "The K. U. line is big and strong. I don't see how any team on your schedule is going to get through that line. The line does bunch too much at times but they'll get over that in a short time.
"The team is strong on the onside kick," added the old star, "and that is one of the strongest assets of the open style. I regard it as much stronger than the forward pass. Your school should have a great team this season. The men are not going right as yet but they will come into their own pretty soon and no team in this section should have a great edge over them."
"The back field was somewhat slow Saturday. Punts are not caught as they ought to be. A little more speed in the backs and a couple of sure men to catch punts and the back field will be fair."
Ralph Feagle, engineer '08, is visiting at the University.
ST. JOSEPH OR KANSAS CITY?
ST. JOE STILL AFTER THANKS-GIVING GAME.
Representatives Met the Athletic Board Today—Good Proposition.
Dr. L. A. Todd, representing the St. Joseph alumni of the University, and Ray Calkins, representing the St. Joseph commercial club met with the Athletic Association today noon. The St. Joseph people were here to show why the Thanksgiving football game should be played in their city and to induce the athletic board to send it there.
The city of St. Joe has offered to pay the entire expenses of thirty men from both Missouri and Kansas, to furnish grounds absolutely free, to build all the bleachers and seats needed, to pay all advertising expenses, to advertise the game 100 miles in each direction from St. Joe, and to try to get the railroad fare from Lawrence to St. Joe and return to a figure below three dollars.
The Athletic Board took no action in the matter. A contract has been sent to Missouri calling for the game at Kansas City and nothing can be done until Missouri signs or refuses the Kansas City contract. The offer of St. Joseph is a good money proposition but will probably receive no action from Kansas in spite of the tempting terms offered by the St. Joseph business men. If Missouri should postively refuse to play at Kansas City, the question will again be an open one. St. Joseph is proving a strong rival for Kansas City in the game getting business and with the help of the Tiger representatives may even this far in the affair get the coveted advertisement for their town on Turkey Day.
Important Debate Coming.
The Republican and Democratic Clubs of the University will have a joint debate on the evening of October 22. The question to be discussed is, "Resolved that the interests of Kansas demand the success of Democracy, both state and national." The debating team of neither club has been definitely chosen.

Clayton Was Entertained.
Rep. C.D. Clayton, permanent chairman of the National Democratic convention, was entertained at an informal smoker at the Sigma Nu house Tuesday evening. Mr. Clayton is a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity from the University of Alabama.
George Stucky, a freshman from Formosa, has pledged to the Phi Psis.
TO EDUCATE THOSE WHO WORK AMONG THE POOR.
NUMBER 12
Professor Blackmar and Others to Lecture in Kansas City.
Another one of the University extension lecture courses will be commenced next Monday by Dr. Frank W. Blackmar of the Sociology department of the University. The lectures will be on philanthropy and will be given to the social workers of the two Kansas Citys. Officers and directors from such institutions as the Franklin Institute, the Helping Hand, the Associated and Jewish Charities and representatives from the Hospitals will be interested. The object of the course is to increase the efficiency of the social service in greater Kansas City. The lectures will be under the direction of Dr. Blackmar assisted by eminent specialists, such as Doctors M. T. Sudler and G. A. Hoxie of the University of Kansas; Chas. Ellenwood and Thos. J. Riley, of Missouri University; E. J. McLaughry, warden of the Federal prison at Leavenworth; H. W. Charles, of the Kansas Boys' Reform school; Dr. T. C. Biddle, of the State Hospital, Topeka; Dr. Edward T. Devine, of New York City, and others.

SEVEN HUNDRED HAVE JOINED
HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION IS AN
ASSURED THING.
Medics Excused from Class and all Day Worked to Secure Necessary Number.
The Hospital Association is an assured thing. At five o'clock this evening the membership had reached 694 and was still growing. All day the membership poured in, due to the efforts of the medical students who were excused from classes, and the membership is expected to go past the 700 mark which the committee had set as the number required for the success of the organization.
This morning when the crusade began five hundred and six had joined and one hundred thirty-four additional members were needed to make the Association possible. This would bring the total number up to seven hundred, making the receipts fourteen hundred dollars. One half of this amount goes to the hospital physician and the remaing half for supplies and incidentals.
E. T. Gibson, president; O. R. Baum, vice president; John Brownlee, secretary; and Dr. W. J. Baumgartner, treasurer of the Association have been active in pushing the plan.
The faculty of the medical school dismissed all classes today to give medic students an opportunity to join the fight for new members. Thirty freshmen and twenty-six sophomores entered the crusade. Within an hour twenty-five new names had been secured, and by noon many more had joined.
The men interested in the work have spared neither time nor energy in securing the results obtained.
