LAWRENCE, KANSAS $ ^{11} $ DECEMBER 10, 1908
VOLUME V.
CHANCELLOR TO NEBRASKA?
---
DR. STRONG MAY BE ASKED TO SUCCEED BENJ. ANDREWS.
No Offer Has Yet Been Made and The Chancellor Will Make No Statement.
The board of regents of the University of Nebraska are considering asking Frank Strong to become chancellor of that institution when the resignation of Chancellor Andrews takes effect. No formal offer of the position has as yet been made to Chancellor Strong, but reports from Lincoln indicate that there is a strong likelihood that it will be made soon.
Whether or not the Chancellor would regard the headship of the Nebraska school as a sufficient promotion to justify him in accepting it is a question which has been much discussed in Lawrence this week. The salary is about the same as that paid here. The fact that at Nebraska the university and agricultural college are combined would give the Chancellor a somewhat larger field of work and would furnish conditions somewhat more to the liking of Chancellor Strong than he finds in Kansas where the two schools are competing against each other. On the other hand, it is believed that a very tempting offer would be required to cause the Chancellor to abandon the plans for the growth of the University of Kansas which he has been working on for years and which extend far into the future.
Chancellor Strong has made no statement in regard to the matter.
Aggie Captaincy to Gingery.
Gingery, the star Aggie tackle was elected captain of the K. S.A.C. team.Monday. He was the star of the team this year and got the election by an unanimous vote.
BAKER TONIGHT
CAPTAIN WOODWARD'S SQUAD TO BALDWIN THIS EVENING.
Nine Jayhawkers to Make Trip. Return Game Saturday Night
Tonight the basketball team will go to Baldwin to play its first game of the year with the Baker five. The players are all in good condition and able to play a fast game.
Last year the preacher team did not play with K. U. owing to the fact that several of the Bakerites were ineligible under Kansas conference rules. This year their players are all in good standing. Only two men of last year's squad, Brainerd, center, and O'Neil, guard are playing with Baker this year.
Nine Kansans—Captain Woodward and Martindell, guards; Johnson and McCune, forwards, Bergen, center; and Heizer, Long, Bond and Wohler, who will probably be tried out in the game, will make the trip.
The Baker team will play a return game in Robinson gymnasium Saturday night. A special train will bring the Methodist rooters to Lawrence, Hamilton, of Kansas City Central High school, will referee the contests and Shawnee, of Haskell, will umpire.
Ristine to Lead Tigers.
