A GAME UNDER THE NEW RULES
GLADIATORS WILL HAVE A TRYOUT NEXT WEEK.
The football game between the "Muffins" and the "Plugs," which was to have been played on the golf links tomorrow afternoon, has been postponed until next week. The postponement is due to the fact that the men have not had enough practice work to justify a public game.
Coaches Kennedy and Mose Will Be on Hand to Get Line on Next Fall's Material.
As yet the day on which the game will take place has not been decided, but it is probable that it will be set for Wednesday.
The two squads will be under the direct coaching of Captain Pleasant and Captain-Elect Johnson. Coaches Kennedy and Mosse will be on hand to watch the men work out and get a line on material for next fall. While the new rules proposed by the National Rules Committee have not yet been adopted, it is practically settled that they will constitute many of the revisions for next season and for that reason they will govern the playing of next week's game.
Davidson and Robertson were chosen captains for the two teams and each has picked his men for the contest. The line-up follows:
Plugs.
NUMBER 79

Results Not Announced Today However.
HELD SENIOR TRYOUT.
The majority of the members of the senior class met at Miss Gerturde Mossler's studio in the Dick building, last night and participated in the tryout for the senior play, and the senior farce. The tryout lasted until after 12 o'clock, but even then a number were prevented from the reading of the parts.
For that reason the results of the tryout were not announced today and will not be given out until after a second tryout is held during the next few days.
Harvey Burgess, a senior law, left for Western Kansas Sunday night, where he will take a position as county surveyor.
IS AGAINST FOOTBALL
Governor Stubbs Has Announced His Opposition to the Game.
The fact that Governor W. R Stubbs opposed the playing of football of any sort at the University became known yesterday afternoon. The intelligence was gained through a prominent citizen of Lawrence who is greatly interested in the welfare of the school. This citizen held a conference with the governor about a week ago and it was at that time that Mr. Stubbs expressed his opposition to the game.
"I am opposed to football and to the playing of the game at the University," said the governor, in speaking of the present agitation here. "There are many reasons for my opposition, yet, I have decided not to take any part in the present agitation at Lawrence." Despite the fact that Mr. Stubbs takes an open stand against football it is practically a certainty that he will not interpose in the present campaign. On the other hand he is said to have no desire of taking part in the fight.
CHOSE FRESHMEN TEAM.
Tyro Baseball Nine Chosen Yesterday.
The members of the freshman base ball team were named by Coach Harold Harlan yesterday afternoon. The Tyros have been working out for some time and be cause of the fact that a large number of men have been trying for positions, it has been impossible to pick the team earlier.
The men who will compose the first-year team are: Hill, catcher; Porter, first base; Hicks, third base; Hamilton, left field; Walker, center field; Mahin, right field; and Miller, Busiek, McCarty and Asheraft, pitchers.
The men who will play shortstop and second base have not yet been chosen. However, the positions will be given to two of the following four men: Davis, Laffer, Rambo and Hoffman.
Charles M. Harger, director of the University course in journalism, has an article in the current issue of the Saturday Evening Post, entitled "The Farmer and His Bank." Mr. Harger discusses the intimate relations between the farmers and the small banks and how they mutually help each other.
At the regular meeting of the Quill club Tuesday, Miss Weaver read an essay on "Where Do Animals Go When They Die." Mr. Shannon read a narrative entitled "The Fine Bluff Literary Society" and Miss Luther a story of "A University Girl's Evolution."

AMERICAN FOOTBALL TO STAY AT UNIVERSITY.
GAME WILL NOT BE ABOLISHED
Statement Made by Regent Gleed Last Night Indicates Conclusion—See Hopkins Tonight.
"The Board of Regents of the University of Kansas will not vote to abolish the game of football at that institution unless the majority of the Missouri Valley schools should favor abolishment and neither will the authorities of the school favor the adoption of Rugby unless at least four or five of the other schools of the Conference are willing to adopt it."
Such was the statement of Regent J. W. Gleed, made to a committee of students who called upon him last night. Mr. Gleed came to Lawrence yesterday on business and was the guest at the home of Vice-Chancellor W. H. Carruth. Last evening a delegation consisting of Carrol Lord, Carl Pleasant, and William Caldwell, called upon the Regent and spent more than an hour with him discussing the football situation at the University. At first Mr. Gleed showed a tendency to listen rather than to talk and signified a desire to learn of the attitude of the students here with regard to the retention of the game. Then he entered into the discussion and made the above statement.
It is commonly known here that Regent W. A. White and Regent Gleed are the two most radiant opponents of the game. With such a statement coming from Mr. Gleed it seems that football's probably saved for another season.
The student football visitation committee, composed of Carrol Lord, Carl Pleasant and R. L Douglas, will confer with Regent Scott Hopkins tonight. He is in Lawrence this afternoon and so the conference was arranged On Monday Regent W. A. White will be here and has agreed to meet the committee at that time.
On tomorrow evening the three students will leave for Hutchinson to hold a conference with Regent W. Y. Morgan and before returning will call upon Regent Foley at Lyons.
Mr. Gleed also said that the playing of the Thanksgiving game at Kansas City was the worst feature of University football, and that a change in the place of playing that game was one of the reforms he most wished for.
A reception will be held for the worthy grand matron of the Eastern Star at Masonic hall April 15. All student memberes are invited

The annual banquet of the Sigma Xi society which will be held in the lecture room of Snow hall tomorrow night, will be a revival of the famous scientific club called "It," which went out of existence at the University in 1894.
For tomorrow evening the feast will be prepared by the members of the society, each along his special line. Prof. W. C. Stevens will bake the breads, Prof. L. E. Sayee will oversee the preparation of the coffee, Prof. L. D. Havenhill will make some candy, Prof. H. P. Cady will bake the eakes, and Prof. S. J.

There are a few other things on the bill of fare, but the members of the society are maintaining a deep secrecy about them. To heighten the secrecy they have printed the bill in fifty-seven different varieties of languages. The menu reads as if it had been compiled from freshman examination papers from all departments. What is said to be the main feature of the banquet will be an edible byproduct of sour milk, prepared by Mr. E. L. Tague. It is distinguished on the bill in the form of a chemical formula.
