UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME VI.
ADD COLORADO TO SCHEDULE
KANSAS WILL PLAY DRAKE UNIVERSITY NEXT FALL.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 26, 1910
Colorado Replaces "Aggies" and Drake Takes Place of Iowa State College—The Schedule.
Two new football games will soon be placed on the Kansas schedule for next fall. At the meeting of the Athletic association yesterday, Manager Lawsdon was empowered to close a contract with the management at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and another with Drake University at Des Moines, Ia. The first game is to replace the one which was scheduled with the "Aggies" for October 8, and the second will be played instead of the one scheduled with Iowa State College for October 22.
Manhattan refused to conform to the requirements of the Missouri Valley conference rules and as a result the team was dropped from the K. U. schedule. The schedule which had been arranged by Drake conflicted with the schedule of the University, consequently the second game could not be played.
Colorado has not been included in the K. U. schedule since 1906, when the team was dropped for various reasons. One trouble was the difference in the altitude of Lawrence and Boulder and another that the two schools were too far apart to allow many students to witness the game.
The game with Colorado will be played under the Missouri Valley Conference eligibility rules. The contract calls for two annual contests. The first is to be played on McCook and the second at Boulder.
Following is the revised sched ule for 1910, as given out today;
October 8, St. Marys, on Me-Cook field.
October 15, Colorado, on Me-Cook field.
October 22, Drake, at Des Moines, Ia.
October 29, Washburn on Me-Cook field.
November 5, Nebraska, on Me-Cook field.
November 12, Oklahoma at Oklahoma City.
November 24, Missouri at Kan-
November 24, Missouri at Kan sas City.
POLITICAL WRITING
Told of From the Newspaper Man's Standpoint.
Mr. Lesly Wallace, a political writer for the Kansas City Star, spoke to the journalism classes yesterday on the subject, politics in a great newspaper. Mr. Wallace spoke of the qualifications needed for a political reporter.
"Wide acquaintance with political leaders in the city, county and state is necessary," he said, "for the gum shoe method of holding political meetings is still used to a considerable extent."
He warned reporters, however, against becoming so friendly with politicians that their judgment might become biased.
FIRST CAR OVER THE HILL.
['ennesseee-Mississippi Loop Has Been Completed.
The firt car to complete the circuit on the Tennessee-Mississippi line carried a party of citizens and newspaper people over the hill this afternoon. The party consisted of Albert Emmanual, of Dayton, O., president of the street car company, A. M. Schaffer, of Dayton, O., G. T. Skinner, manager of the Lawrence company, William Spires, superintendent of construction, a committee of business men, representatives of the city newspapers, and a reporter for The Kansan.
The party left the company's office on Massachusetts street at 2 p. m., going by way of Mississippi street, and returning on Tennessee street. The trip was made in thirty minutes.
The service to the hill will be either a twenty or a ten-minute one. If possible four cars will run each way, making it possible to catch a car going either way every ten minutes.
New sidings have been built so cars can pass at South Tennessee street, at the top of the hill, at McCook fied, at the Indiana line, and on Massachusetts street.
TO PROFESSOR MILLER.
Last Chapel to Be Held Tomor row Morning.
Tomorrow morning will be the last opportunity for the students of the University of Kansas to show to Prof. Ephraim Miller in any public way their respect and appreciation for his long service in the school, Professor Miller will make the address at the regular Friday morning chapel exercises which will be the last general convocation of the students during this school year.
Professor Miller has been teaching in the University longer than any member of the faculty and is well known to the students even though they may not have had work with him. After his many years of service he retires from teaching and will receive a Carnegie pension. His address in chapel will thus be in the nature of a farewell to the students of Kansas.
The University was visited this morning by the members of the senior class of the Lincoln high school. The sixteen members of the class are being chaperoned by their superintendent, R. E. Long and his wife. Since leaving home they have visited the Agricultural school at Manhattan, the Capitol building, the asylum and Washburn at Topeka; Electric park at Kansas City, the fort, the federal prison and Soldiers' home at Leavenworth. From here the class will go to Emporia, where they will visit the State Normal school.
