CANDIDATES FOR CAPTAINCY
THREE STARS IN THE FIELD FOR THE HONOR.
Pleasant, Caldwell and Carlson All Want To Lead '09 Eleven— Each Man Played 2 Years.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DECEMBER 1, 1908
The election for the football captaincy of the '09 eleven, which will take place in the near future, has been somewhat complicated by the recent entrance of Carl Pleasant into the race. "Bill" Caldwell and "Swede" Carlson had previously announced their candidacy.
Either one of the three men would make a great leader next year. Pleasant made his "K" in 1906 as an end. Last year he was out of the game but this season he was back in his old position. Pleasant was a star in the open field work, getting down the field fast under punts and carrying the ball well. He made one of the touchdowns against Missouri.
Caldwell is the hardest fighter on the team. As long as he lasts—and he holds out until the end—he gives his opponent all that is in him. "Bill" got his "K" last year at tackle and he has piayed the same steady, hard game for two years. Caldwell is a ground gainer of ability and is fast running down punts.
Carlson has played his second consecutive year on the team, last year as guard and tackle, this year as center. The "terrible Swede" was the star of the team this year, his open work at center being spectacular all season. Carlson is the slugger and captain of the baseball team.
WHO ARE CHAMPIONS?
Denver University Challenges Kansas to a Game.
Coach Kennedy received a challenge from Denver University yesterday to play a postseason football game in Kansas City to decide the championship of the Rocky Mountain District and the Missouri Valley. The Coach says he does not think it possible to accept after the hard season just finished. Denver University has defeated all the leading football teams of the Rocky Mountain region.
BASKETBALL
NUMBER 30
SEASON OPENS NEXT WEEK WITH BAKER FIVE.
Team Leaves Dec. 12 on First Trip — College Teams of Kansas to be Played.
The local basket ball season opens in the Gymnasium Dec. 11, when the Baker team tangles with Captain Woodward's squad. The team will leave the next day on their first trip and will play about seven games while on the road. Baker, Fairmount, Kansas Wesleyan, Emporia, Newton Y. M. C.A., and Ottawa University are on the sceedule during the week. The team has been practicing under the direction of Dr. Naismith for over a month. Captain Woodward will hold down one guard and that is about the only position on the team that is secured. Tom Johnson, Randall, McCune Bergen, Heizer, Martindell, Wohler and Beard all have chances to land one of the other four positions.
The Athletic Board will meet this week and try to hire a coach. "Phog" Allen, last year's mentor, is coaching in Kansas City and cannot be secured. The Board has in mind several good men, and will try to land one of them.
Tickets Must Be Exchanged.
Owing to the small seating capacity of the University chapel all holders of student tickets will have to exchange them for general admission tickets to gain admittance to the concerts given by the glee club Dec. 3 and 4.
BIG BANQUET TOMORROW
STUDENTS, BUSINESS MEN AND FACULTY TO DINE TEAM.
It Is Expected 500 Will Be Present To Listen to Speeches by Chancellor, Gov. Stubbs and Others.
The 'Varsity football banquet, given by the University Y. M. C. A., students and downtown business men, will be held in Robinson Gymnasium tomorrow evening at seven o'clock. This is the first time that the student body has been invited to banquet with the football team, and it is the only time since 99 that a chance has afforded itself for the students to pay their respects to an all-victorious team. Arrangements have been made to take care of five hundred banqueters besides the invited guests.
The twenty-two football players, Coach Kennedy and wife. Assistant Coach Mosse and wife. Coach Rouse of the Freshman team, Governor-elect Stubbs, and representatives of the Star, Journal, Post, Capital, all the Lawrence papers and the Kansas are to be the guests of the evening.
Chancellor Strong will be toastmaster for the occasion. Coach Kennedy will speak on "The Making of a Football Team." Assistant Coach Mosse will respond to the toast, "Stolen Signals." Ralph Spotts, this year's cheer leader, will talk for the student body. William Hudson, of the El-

ALL STAR DANCE
ONLY ELITE IN SOCIETY TO ATTEND THIS PARTY.
You Must Be Pretty and a Good Dancer, Girls. To Get Invitation to "All Star" Dance.
An "all-star" dance is the newest social function in the society circles of the University. A number of students have made arrangements to give a party Friday, December 11, at which only those who tip the light fantastic toe with more than ordinary grace will be asked to attend.
There will be no scrubs present. Only the butterflies and Beau Brummels of the University are to be favored with an invitation. There is much curiosity in society circles to know just who the elite of the school are, but it will all be settled in a few days.
The dance will be held in Smith Hall, formerly known as Everett hall. F.A.A. hall is too big. The University's "400" would get lost there, besides it costs more, so Smith hall was chosen. Invitations will be issued in a few days. Newhouse's orchestra,the same Newhouse who plays for common folk, will furnish music.
SENIOR GIRLS TO ENTERTAIN.
To Give Party in Gym for Boys Saturday.
Next Saturday, December 5, the girls of the senior class are going to entertain the boys of the class with a spread and dancing party in the gymnasium. This is a distinct innovation in social affairs of the senior class of the University. Now one thing about the party next Saturday is that you don't need a girl to go but there will be a splendid opportunity to get one before you go home. Men are supposed to come alone and the hostesses will already be there. The Senior girls extend a cordial invitation to every boy in the class to attend the party Saturday evening.
Brock Pemberton '08 and "Dooley" Riddle were visitors at the Phi Delt house Sunday.
