FOOTBALL PRACTICE TO END TOMORROW
TONIGHT'S SCRIMMAGE TO BE LAST THIS WEEK.
Tomorrow Work Will Be Light All Men Are Given Try-outs.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1910
Tonight ends the practice work of the Jayhawker football squad before the opening game of the season with Ottawa on Saturday. A scrimmage with the freshmen and a general tryout of all varsity candidates for the second time this season will conclude the work. On tomorrow afternoon the pigskin chasers will be called together on McCook for light signal practice and punting. With that the workouts will end for the week.
In anticipation of the opening of the season Conches Kennedy, Mosse and Reed yesterday started the weeding out process. In the serimimage, which lasted an hour and a half every one of the thirty-five men who are trying for positions on the regular variety eleven was given a chance to show his skill in the game. They were called into the game, shifted from place to place, and, unless they made good, sent to the bench to make room for more candidates.
The result was that the mentors were able to work the squad down to a much smaller number. Tonight the number will be whittled again and the men who are to open the season Saturday will be chosen.
Last night Coach Kennedy shifted Captain Johnson from fullback to left end. He will in all probability retain him on the line during the first of the season at least. Wilhelm, a last year's crack guard, took Johnson's position at full yesterday and showed up in great form. He is fast and handles the ball in forward passes in a manner that strengthens Kennedy's hopes in the play.
A NEW HISTORY.
Professor Blackmar Will Edit Kansas Cyclopedia.
The work was begun last July and will be issued in about a year. Mr.Blackmar is being backed by a company and has the support of the most prominent men of the state.
TOO MANY CANDIDATES.
Prof. F. W. Blackmar, dean of the Graduate School, has commenced work on a cyclopedia of Kansas. Mr. Blackmar, an authority on historical matters, will edit the work, assisted by twenty men stationed in all parts of the state to collect material. Each important city is to be taken up separately, the towns being discussed under the head of their counties. The products, mineral and agricultural, historical events with the facts separated from the traditions, and all Kansas topics of interest will be discussed in two volumes of 1,000 pages each. A third will contain personal history and biographies, making the topics treated 6,000 in all.
Who Shall Be Eliminated From One Senior Ticket?
A meeting will be held tonight by supporters of the senior ticket, headed by Robert Fisher, for the purpose of determining what shall be done about the office of manager of the senior play. Moe Friedman is a candidate on that ticket for manager of the play, an office which was abolished by the Student Council Tuesday evening. With one more candidate than there are offices, the problem is to decide on who shall be eliminated.

SENIOR PROFITS TO STUDENTS' UNION
Price is $3.00
STUDENT COUNCIL MAKES SWEEEPING CHANGES.
From the cap and gown committee, 75 per cent of the net profits, 25 per cent to go to the chairman and his assistants.
Buy Tickets Before First Foot Ball Game
The activities of 'the senior class were taken up for discussion at the meeting. The members of the council were unanimous in the opinion that radical reforms were necessary. It was by unanimous vote that levies were made as follows on the senior enquiries, for the Students' Union fund.
Ancient Senior "Grafts" Cut Down 20 to 75 Per Cent by Unanimous Vote.
The elimination of "graft" from student enterprises at the University of Kansas and the formation of a fund for the erection of a Students' Union building were the objects of legislation which was passed by the Student Council at a meeting in Fraser hall Tuesday night.
The problems of the senior play and annual were more complex, and an agreement was reached by the Council only after long discussion. A lack of accurate data was noticeable. Although the chairman of each committee turned in a report of his receipts and expenditures to E. E. Brown last year, it was plain to be seen that the Council placed no reliance on the accuracy of the reports, and no reference was made to them during the discussion.
From the invitation committee. 75 per cent of the net profits.
The per cent to be asked from the invitation and cap and gown committee was agreed upon without discussion. It was said that the chairman of each committee has in former years made about $200 in profits and that $50 would be a fair compensation for the amount of work done.
From the senior play, 50 per cent of the profits, 50 per cent to remain in the hands of the chairman of the play committee.
From the senior annual, 20 per cent of the net profits, 80 per cent to remain in the hands of the manager of the annual.
It was finally decided that in view of a certain financial risk in these two enterprises, a larger per cent should be left in the manare hands. By vote of the Council, the office of manager of the senior play was merged with that of chairman of the play committee, and the chairman was allowed 50 per cent of the profits of the play.
The members of the council seemed to know less about the senior annual than about any of the other activities under discussion. In order to insure the manager a sufficient sum for his responsibility, it decided to ask only 20 per cent of the annual profits for the Union fund.
At a meeting of the Women's Student Government Association, held yesterday afternoon, the regulations of senior affairs adopted by the Men's Council were endorsed in every particular.
Prof. W. H. Carruth in his capaety as adviser was present at the meeting Tuesday night. He made a short talk highly commending the general attitude the Council was taking toward the problems before it. "You are engaged in constructive legislation, which means a great don' to the University," he said. "It means much more than merely repressive legislation."
Sophomore Caucus.
There will be a representative caucus of the sophomore class held in Myers hall at 7 tonight. All sophomores interested in the welfare of the class are urged to be present.-Adv.
