BRUISES AND GLOOM ON M'COOK FIELD
INJURIES KEPT THREE MEN
FROM SCRIMMAGE.
Even Coach Kennedy Injured in Practice Last Night, but Still Hopeful.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4. 1910
Football prospects took a slump yesterday afternoon when J. Phuvious opened the performance with a fine, chilling shower. But the rain-maker was not the only contingency that played a part in floating the blue funk over McCook. Three men appeared on the field sans football togs, and reported that they were unable to scrimmage.
The men are Heil, H. Woodbury, and "Terrible Mike" Lynch. Heil was forced to go to the bench during the last half of the opener on Saturday, because of a large boil on his arm. Some careless Baptist inflicted such a bad bruise on the tender bump that the midget quarter-back was still out yesterday. Woodbury and Lynch are both suffering from bruised and scratched shoulders, as a result of Saturday's game. You may be out of the game for a couple of days. In fact, Dr. H. T. Jones has advised Kennedy not to allow Woodbury to play before the last of the week.
Despite the drawbacks Kennedy's pupils went through a full afternoon's workout. Finally, when Captain Johnson wrenched his knee and was forced to leave the scrimmage, Kennedy went in at quarter and played during the remainder of the afternoon. A luck would have it the coach himself was unfortunate, and bruised his hip tackling a player. Just to show that small things of that kind do not count in football he played on through the practice. This afternoon a second scrimmage of the week is being held and during the remaining three days before the St. Mary's game the practices will continue to assume the hard work air. The Kansas mentors hope to have the squad in better form by the last of this week than it was at the time of the season's eye-opener.
A NORMAL SEPTEMBER
Such Is the Showing of Monthly Weather Report.
The weather report for September, issued by the University, indicates that the month which has just passed has been nearly a normal September. The record continues that kept by the late Dr. Snow from 1868 to 1908. The rainfall for the month, however, shows a striking deviation from the average for the 42 years, as the total of 6.93 inches has been exceeded by only four of the preceding Septembers.
Miss Oliver to Speak
At the regular meeting of the Young Women's Christian Association, Miss Hannah Oliver will speak on "The Conservation of Energy." She will deal with special phases of student life in which all girls are interested. The meeting, which will be held tomorrow afternoon, in room 110, in Fraser hall, at 4:45 o'clock, is open to all girls of the University.
The mean temperature was somewhat below the average, the lowest being 39.40 degrees on the 27th. The highest temperature was 92 degrees on September 4. The first white frost coming on the 27th was four days earlier than usual, but was 23 days later than the first frost of 1891.

The Student Council, at its meeting last Tuesday evening, elected L. M. Bush to serve on the council, to fill the vacancy in the School of Engineering.
FOUND STRANGE INSECTS
Entomological Field Survey Was Successful.
The past summer's work in the state entomological field survey, which has been in progress for several years, was in charge of F. X. Williams, assistant curator of entomology of the University.
The purpose of the survey is not only to add valuable material to the present collection, but also to study problems of biologic and economic value to the state. This year's party included Prof. F. X. Williams, H. B. Hungerford, a junior in the College; Clare Bradbury, of Ottawa University, and Merle Slagle of Salina Wesleyan.
The party was in camp from June 15 until September 3, and during that time completed the survey in thirteen of the northwestern counties of the state. The insects which were gathered are now being studied under the direction of Prof. S. J. Hunter, by four graduate students, H. W. Lorenz of McPherson College, Roy Fraser of Toronto University, Ruby Hosford of the University of Kansas, and Hazel Hall, who will take her degree at the end of this term. It is estimated that from 20,000 to 25,000 insects were collected. Numbers of specimens were found which are new to the present collections of the University.
