THE BIG MEN CAUSE WORRY
KENNEDY AFRAID CATHOLICS WILL SCORE.
The Jayhawker Squad Working Hard but Is Still Slow—Lineup Same as Last Saturday.
The past four days of practice work has proved to Coach Kennedy that there is room for more or less worry when the Catholics meet the Varsity on McCook field next Saturday. This apprehension does not take the form of defeat, of course, but the point which is causing Kennedy restlessness is the possibility of St. Marys being able to score against his pupils. Never since Kansas started to play the yearly game with the Catholics have they made a touchdown.
The reason for this belief on the part of the coach is that in watching the recent practices closely he has become aware of the fact that his team as a whole is not increasing in speed as it should. A few of the men are able to get away for several yard gains but the majority of them are slow. The eleven is stubborn and puts up a bull dog defense but then it must be considered that Quigley never fails to have a speedy team.
NUMBER 7
"Of course, we will not be beaten," said Kennedy last night, "but I would not be surprised if the Catholics would come mighty close to scoring."
The coach will use practically the same line-up for Saturday's game as he did at the start last week. Carlson will play center; Maxwell and V. Smith, guards; Randall and H. Smith, tackles; Pleasant and Caldwell, ends; Johnson, quarter; and Bond and Lovett, halves. "Big Steve" Stevenson will also be in the game at his old position of full, despite the fact that he was compelled to turn in his suit temporarily just before the game Saturday.
Invitations have been issued for Epworth League Socials to be held Friday evening at four Lawrence homes as follows: J. R. Bechtel, Carl Friends, Frank Gee and J. T. Constant. Those holding invitations are asked to note carefully the homes to which they are invited.

Prof. E. H. Schorer, who was this week appointed to the position in the school of Medicine left vacant by Dr. S. C. Emley's leave of absence, arrived in Lawrence yesterday and met his classes for the first time this afternoon.
WOODBURYS ARE OUT.
Freshman Team Loses Its Captain: Things Look Gloomy.
Practice has been irregular this week. Night before last only one man showed up on the field. Last night the showing was somewhat better. Twenty-six men were out in suits.
FOOTBALL SATURDAY! ST. MARYS VS.KANSAS
Things are a bit gloomy just now in the freshman football camp. The two Woodbury boys whom Coach Coleman had counted on strongly for quarter and half back material, will be in the game no more this season, as their parents have objected to their playing football "Tod" Woodbury had been acting as provisional captain or the squad. A captain of the squad for the season will be selected within a few days and Coach Coleman hopes to accomplish more when that is decided than he has been able to thus far with the squad. One man on the team who has beer showing up well in the back field is Jay Plank, who was last year elected to captain the Fairmount College team this fall.
Prof. Chas. Pierce, formerly instructor of mathematics at the University, but now of Campbell College, visited friends in Lawrence the first of the week.
THE ELECTION WAS EXCITING
BREYFOGLE MADE JUNIOR PRESIDENT YESTERDAY.
Do you know that each owner of a regular Season Ticket may purchase one guest ticket?
The newly elected members to the University Debating Council will meet this evening at 7:30 o'clock at the home of Prof. W.E.Higgins. At this meeting the officers for the year will be elected. This year only three societies, the Adelphic, the Cooley club and the X.Y.Z., will have representation on the council. Each of the societies will have four members on the council.
Debating Council To Meet.
Box Seats now on sale at Check Stand in Fraser Hall, 25 cents to holders of Season Tickets.
In one of the most hotly contested class elections held at the University in years, Lewis W. Breyfogle, of Chanute, was yesterday chosen president of the junior class. The election took place in the chapel at 12:15.
Two tickets were in the field. Both sides had been preparing for days and when the hour for balloting arrived, they had every vote they could possibly muster within the chapel. Ralph Cole, vice-president of last year's sophomore class, called the meeting to order.
Hal Clark placed in nomination Robert Fisher for president, Louis LaCoss for vicepresident, Mayrea Noyes for secretary, and Walter Mayer for treasurer.
Ballot Was Close, the Majority Being but Six—"Ward Politics" in Evidence.
The squad will be taken out to Haskell Friday afternoon to see the game between Haskell and Chilocco. Seventeen of the squad will be taken to Topeka to see the Kansas-Washburn game there October 16, and to Kansas City Thanksgiving day to see the Missouri game.
Paul Carson nominated Lewis
It is common talk on the hill that Hal Clark was really for the Breyfogle ticket when he nominated the opposition ticket, as he said after each name that the candidate was "from Lawrence." It is said that Mr. Clark will be rewarded by being appointed manager of the junior prom next spring.
In the balloting the Breyfogle ticket received 107 votes and was declared elected. The opposing ticket had received 101,
Breyfogle for president, Verne Long for vice-president, Mayrea Noyes, secretary, and Mat Graham, treasurer.
A feature of the election which attracted wide attention and probably had no little part in electing the Breyfogle ticket was the "graft" posters which were circulated against the Fisher ticket, and which assumed to name Mr. Fisher's appointees in case he was elected.
MEN ARE NOT READY.
Miss Erna Rudolph, a so-homore in the College, is visiting in Kansas City today.
Are Doing Fieldwork.

Women Will Hold Mass Meeting To-Morrow.
R. D. Linsey, R. M. Perkins, Professor S. J. Hunter went to Wyandotte county last Saturday to do field work in connection with the entomological survey. Professor Hunter and Rollin Perkins will return this Saturday to complete the work.
For once at least in the history of this University the immemorial order of things has been reversed. The girls have had to wait for the boys to "get ready."
It was announced this morning that the mass meetings which have been scheduled for tomorrow after chapel by representatives of the men's and women's student government associations had been postponed indefinitely. The women were in readiness to hold their meeting, but the men wished to make some further preparation and asked for a postponement. Chancellor Strong wished both meetings to be held at the same time so as not to interfere with class work any more than was necessary.
Important business to be transacted by the women's association makes it necessary to hold a meeting tomorrow at 12:15. All women of the University re urged to attend this meeting, which will require only a few minutes.
Concert Course begins ToNight.
The Fine Arts course of four recitals begins tonight with a song recital by Madam Myron, assisted by Wendell Heighton, violon-cellist. The second concert will be October 14th by Harold Henry, pianist, a graduate of the University; the third November 4th by the Cox-Heighton string quartet, and the fourth Nov. 23rd by Madam Langendorff, a grand opera star of world wide reputation. Course tickets at $1.00 will be on sale at the door. Single admission .35.
A new brick sidewalk has just been completed on the west side of Indiana street between Quincy and Hancock streets. The building of this block of sidewalk effectively bridges over the last remaining strip of the swamp of mud that formerly extended from Lee street north along the top of the hill whenever the weather was bad.
Mrs. H. P. Vrooman with her daughter Miss Ruth Cady of Council Grove are visiting at the home of her son, Prof. H. P. Cady. They will leave the first of next week to make their home in Boston where Miss Cady will continue her study of vocal music.
The sophomore medic class will give a reception at the Pi Upsilon house next Wednesday evening. It will be in honor of the freshman medic class. The University medical faculty here and at Rosedale will be invited.

First Try-Out Tuesday—Brought Out Fifty Men.
About fifty men were out to the first glee club tryout Tuesday evening. There are a few old men back, but most of the material is new. Prof. C. E. Hubach says the voices are finer than ever and that prospects are excellent for a good club.
Two concerts will be given as usual this year. The fall concert will be given about the first week in December, probably in the Gymnasium.
