WASHINGTON NEXT SATURDAY
CAYOU, OLD WABASH COACH HAS COACHED TEAM.
Washington Has Played and Won Four Games This Year.—K.
U. Coaches Optimistic.
The Washington University football team is scheduled to meet the Jayhawkers on McCook Saturday. Washington is one of the Missouri Valley Conference schools and has been making great headway in all branches of athletics since it broke into the first division of Missouri valley schools. The St. Louis school is being coached by the great Carlisle fullback, Cayou. This same Cayou tutored the Wabash team last year and his pupils administered the only defeat to St. Louis University that that team has suffered since Cochem started to coach it.
Washington has a light team that is fast and expert in the new style of play. They have played and won four games this year; two with well known teams, Shurtleff and Knox.
Coaches Kennedy and Mosse were very well pleased with the greater part of the work in the Oklahoma game and the men used in that contest will go in Saturday. Reed will be out so that he will be in the best condition for the big game. The coaches are jubilant over the fact that the team is making such progress with the onside kick and the forward pass. Last Saturday every onside kick was a great ground gainer and the pass was successful nearly all the time.
Michigan Man's Opinion.
C. A. Heidenreich, an old Michigan man who played several seasons under Yost, saw the game Saturday. He said: "The men are too slow starting the play. The secret of Yost's success was that there was no time lost between downs. The signals were often called while the quarter was still on the ground. It seemed to me that Oklahoma knew each time where the ball was going. Yost had his plays arranged in series so that on one signal five or six plays would be made as fast as the men could pick themselves up."
Washburn Defeated.
St. Mary's, defeated by K. U. on October 3 by the score of 24 to 0, defeated Washburn yesterday 6 to 0.
Mrs. J. A. Dreibelbis and daughter, Miss Barnicle, of' Sabetha, were visiting at the Kappa house Tuesday and Wednesday.
HAS 430 MEMBERS.
Two Weeks of Campaigning Has Added 360 New Ones.
NUMBER 15
The rush by the Y. M. C. A. members just closed, for new members has increased the membership to four hundred and thirty, which is an increase over the number of cards purchased up to this time last year. When the rush started about two weeks ago, there were but about seventy members.
The association made a canvas of all the students and out of twenty-four hundred, succeeded in landing the present membership. It is the belief of those interested that the University Y.M.C.A.will have five hundred members in a short time.
Student Council Plans.
Heim Goldman, H. M. Poindexter and "Buster" Brown have formed themselves into a student committee to meet a faculty committee consisting of professors W. E. Higgins, E. W. Murray, and C. L. Becker, to draw up definite plans for a student council. They will meet tonight at the home of Prof. Higgins.
Little interest in a student council has been shown this year. As a result of a demand from this committee the Chancellor appointed the faculty committee to assist them in organizing.
To Decide This Evening.
A joint debate will take place tonight in Green Hall between the Republican and Democratic clubs. The question will be, "Resolved, That the best interests of the country demand the success of the Republican ticket, state and national." M. O. Locke, Ralph Johnson and O. C. Hull will discuss the subject from the G. O. P.'s standpoint. Robert Worline, Ed. Haney, and M. Chapman will hold up the Democratic end.

ARE TO EXECUTE FREEMAN'S WILL
MANY STUDENTS EXPECT TO GET FREE RIDE HOME.
All Students Who Want To Help Save the Country Are To Be Excused To Do So.
Two hundred and fifty Republicans have signified their intention of going home to vote if their expenses will be paid by the state central committee. Many others will not wait for the action of the committee, but will go whether the expenses are paid or not.
C. E. Brookens, president of the University Republican club, went to Topeka this morning to get a definite answer from the state committee regarding the payment of traveling expenses of student voters. A meeting will be held tomorrow in Green Hall to make final arrangements for the voters who wish to get transportation home.
The students going home for election will have their absences excused by the dean of their school. The Chancellor has left the matter entirely in their hands. There will be no holiday. The length of absence will depend on the distance the student lives from Lawrence. In most cases Monday and Tuesday of election have been set aside.
K. U. Athlete to Wed.
The wedding of Harold P. Kuhn, '06, and Miss Blossom Lewis will be solemnized Saturday, October 24, in Kansas City. The ceremony will be performed in the St. Paul's Episcopal Church.
Mr. Kuhn was a student in the medical school at Rosedale two years ago. He won first place in the high and low hurdles for K.U. in a track meet with Missouri.

A LARGE RAIN FALL.
Nearly Seven Inches of Rain Fell in Three Days.
The record breaking drouth of this fall has been broken by an unusually heavy rain fall of nearly seven inches. The rain began in a light shower Monday and increased up to this morning. The University weather bureau states that 5.76 inches fell from Wednesday morning up to this morning at seven o'clock. During Monday and Tuesday .93 inches fell. The storm of yestesday did much damage to streets and country roads. It was one of the hardest rain falls in the history of Lawrence.
To Investigate Sewerage.
H. C. McClure, a senior engineer recently elected to Sigma Xi, is preparing in conjunction with Professor W. C. Hoad to conduct investigations of the sewage systems of fifteen or twenty typical Kansas towns. At present they are testing the apparatus for the work which was constructed by C. W. White, the instrument maker, for the University. The apparatus consists of a device which will automatically record the amount of sewage passing through a pipe in a given time. Mr. McClure proposes by the extension of the investigations to establish certain standards of the amount of sewage produced by various populations in the different cities of Kansas.
Gridiron Vet Returns.
W. A. Matteson, of Cherryvale, Kansas, generally known as "Billie" Matteson, one of the greatest athletes K. U. ever knew, was visiting old acquaintances on the hill Wednesday. Billie attended the University in the early nineties during the days of Mosse, Shorty Hamill, Coleman and other stars. He was Kansas greatest ground gainer in the Kansas-Michigan game of '93. Matteson was also a star on the diamond and held several records in field sports. He is interested in mining properties in Joplin Missouri, and Arizona.
Models for Medical Work.
The medical department of the University received a shipment of three dozen models from Leipsig, Germany. The models came from the laboratory of Professor Wilhelm His, of Leipsig University. They were made from dissections conducted by Dr.His. These are the finest models procurable and are used to illustrate visceral anatomy.
