K. U. BEAR STORIES AMUSE N. U. COACH
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1910
COLE DOESN'TBELIEVE KEN NEDY'S TEAM CRIPPLED.
Is Preparing His Men for Great Battle—Train Load of N. U. Rooters Coming.
Special to The Kansas.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 1.—The bear stories coming out of Lawrence will catch no fish in the Nebraska camp. The Lawrence dopesters are relating that Coach Kennedy is shifting his players in almost every practice, being unable to arrange a satisfactory combination. Troublesome Tommy Johnson, according to the dope artists, has a broken wrist, and his flipper flies loose at almost every down. This merely amuses the Nebraska coaches, who figure that the Jayhawkers will be at top form when the time rolls around for the Nebraska game and that the Cornhuskers must be in like trim, failing in which Kansas could have the call.
Special to The Kansan
Cole's practice drills, which are being held in secret, at the university farm, are being devoted almost entirely to the working up of new formations designed exclusively for the Kansas game. These plays were kept under cover in the Doane game last Saturday, the Cornhuskers reverting to their early season style of play and showing nothing to possibl Kansas scouts.
A hitch has arisen in the selection of officials for the Kansas-Nebraska battle. The Missouri valley conference is supposed to pick the officials, but the death of Si Lambert, a former Ames player, has created a vacancy in the conference. It is settled, however, that J. C. Masker of Kansas City, will be referee. Joe Curtis the ex-Michigan star, will be bumire, and Lieut. Thompson of the army, wil be head linesman. This leaves a field judge vet to select.
The railroads have refused to offer any reduced rates to Nebraska excursionists, but Manager Eager has arranged for an excursion from Lincoln to Lawrence, and figures that several hundred Nebraska rooters will make the trip. The Cornhusker players are to go ahead of the excursionists, leaving Lincoln Thursday night and spending Friday in Kansas City.

The boys of the Buchanan club were entertained at a Hallowe'en party given by the girls last Saturday night.
300 NEBRASKANS COMING.
Seats for That Many Cornhusker Rooters Reserved.
Three hundred seats have been reserved by the Nebraska rooters for the game Saturday. This number is slightly less than Kansas sent to Lincoln last year, but the rooting promises to be spirted. Manager Lansdon reports a strong advance sale of seats at the University, and everything points towards a big crowd. The Lincolne team has not played in Lawrence for four years and the spirit of "beat Nebraska" is strong here.
The following charge of crooked work in the Washburn game appeared in the Topeka Capital his morning:
Washburn Thinks Kansas Made a Deal With Officials to Get Johnston Out of Game.
CHARGES K. U. PLOT
Was the exclusion of Coach Bob Stewart from the field during the last three quarters of the Washburn-Kansas game Saturday a frame-up between the officials and the university management? This is a serious charge to make against the management, but a story has leaked out of the Crinson camp to the effect that Kansas considered that it would be much easier to win with Jerry Johnston out of the game and the coach off the field and that these changes were slated before the contest. This story comes from a Topeka student at the University, and the circumstances which put the Washburn men off the scene of action, from a Washburn point of view at least, makes a frame-up look probable.
Johnston was playing a fierce game at left guard and during a scrimmage struck a Kansas man with his open hand, which is allowable. The umpire immediately sent Johnston from the field. Johnston went to Coach Stewart with his complaint. An official came over to the side line and upon Stewart's attempt to explain that Johnston's action was legal, was ordered back to the bleachers,and the Washburn team was compelled to finish the game under the supervision of Assistant Coach W. L. Driver.
When asked about the above story, Coach Stewart would make no charges against the Kansas management or the officials, but stated that there was no reason for putting him off the side line.
"It's nonsense; it's just a poor excuse; there is nothing to it at all," declared Coach A. R. Kennedy this morning when asked about the Capital article.
"It is a direct reflection upon the honor of Lieutenant Thompson, who refereed the game, and Mr. Curtiss, who was umpire," he said, "and of course involves a slander upon the management of athletics at the University. As
Manager Lansdon said he did not regard the story seriously.

DEBATERSTO ENTER A GENERAL TRYOUT
AT
WHICH SIXTEEN MEN
WILL BE CHOSEN.
At Final Tryout Ten Will Compose Debating Squad to Meet Other Schools.
The debating council, at a meeting held yesterday afternoon, heard the reports of the committees, who were appointed at the last meeting to choose a method of selecting the debaters and a question to submit to Missouri.
The committee on the method of choosing the debaters submitted the following plan: First that a general tryout for all the debatters be held at which time sixteen men are to be chosen; then a second tryout is to be held for the sixteen at which ten men will be selected. These will be organized into a debating class under the direction of Professor Gesell, the head of the public speaking department. After a course of training the professor will make the final selection of the six men who are to make the teams. After a thorough discussion this method was accepted by the council.
The time of the first tryout will be Friday evening November 18 and that of the second Saturday evening, December 3.
The committee appointed to choose a question to submit to Missouri decided on the question
"Would it be advisable to apply minimum wage legislation in the field of the sweated industries, constitutionality waived," which the council accepted and will submit to Missouri immediately.
TO PRACTICE CHEERS
Rooters Asked to Meet on McCook Field Tomorrow.
All rooters for the Kansas-Nebraska game are asked by the cheer leader to meet on McCook field tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 o'clock for a yell and song practice.
The "K. U." letter stunt will be practiced several times and regular men chosen for its working. From the spirit that is being manifested among the students, this meeting will be largely attended.
Preparations are being made for the largest mass meeting Friday ever held at the University. It is the aim of those in charge to make this a genuinely enthusiastic football rally. The exact time of the meeting will be announced later.
Willard Wattles and Miss Ruth Hunt presented the program at the regular meeting of the Quill club yesterday afternoon. Plans for the new University publication were briefly discussed. The club voted to continue holding its meetings on Monday instead of on Tuesday afternoons, as in past years. The newly elected members of the organization attended their first meeting.
Quill Members Meet.
READY FOR INDOOR TRACK
Meets Will Start Last Week of This Month.
Indoor track meets will commence the last of November, according to Coach W. O. Hamilton. The meets will be run on practically the same plan as last year. Five men will be entered in every event from each class in all the schools, so that it is possible for eighty men to compete in a single event. There is an abundance of material in school, and everyone who has had any experience will receive a letter from Coach Hamilton urging him to come out for the team.
THREE PLAYERS OUT
Injuries to Football Men Worry Coaches and Necessitate Changes in Line-Up.
It is no mere josh story—would that it were—to say that the Jayhawker coaches are worried about next Saturday's game. It will be time for the students to begin to worry, too, when they learn that Wilhelm will be out of the game. He may be out the rest of the season. Wilhelm's back was hurt in the Drake game and the injury was aggravated in the Washburn contest. Kansas will have to get along without any of the Wilhelm brand of field goal next Saturday. Davis will take his place at full and Captain Johnson will be shifted to left half.
Mike Lynch will be kept out of the game, as he has not yet recovered from the mumps. His place will be taken by Power.
Cowell will not be able to start the game at left tackle, owing to a bad hip which has been bothering him since the Drake game.
With the Jayhawkers in such bad shape, it is no wonder that the sleep of Kennedy and Mosse is disturbed by visions of Temple and Shonka doing things on MeCook field that will keep the cheering on the Nebraska side of the field.
The line-up for the game will be:
Spear, center; Davidson, left guard; Baird, right guard; Ahrens left tackle; Smith, right tackle; Ammons, left end; Power, right end; Heil, quarter; Johnson, left half; Tod Woodbury, right half; Davis, fullback.
Thespians Meet Tonight.

Reports will also be given by the committee that was to correspond with the dramatic club of the University of Nebraska in regard to the national dramatic fraternity that is being formed.
Good Government Club.
The Good Government club will hold a meeting at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house tomorrow evening.
The Stout and Tripp clubs will give a dance in Ecke's hall Saturday night.
Seventeenth Annual Football Game Nebraska=Kansas McCook Field, Saturday, November 5th
Game called at 2:30 p. m.
Reserved seats $1.50, now on sale in Fraser Hall and at Smith's News Depot.
Owners of Student Enterprise Tickets may reserve seats by the payment of 50 cents for each seat.
FRESHMAN STUDENT IS A DAIRYMAN
General admission, no seats guaranteed, $1.00. The Student Enterprise Tickets are still a good investment. Many more should be sold before the Nebraska game.
AND PAYS SCHOOL EX-
PENSES BY THAT MEANS.
Bought Cows and Established a Milk Route This Fall—Now He Is Prospering.
Francis O'Connor, a freshman, who lives at 920 Mississippi street, has introduced a new method of gaining his livelihood while attending the University. He has come to school with the determination to work his way and to that end he has set himself up in the dairy business.
Mr. O'Connor has put more capital in his venture than most of the other students who are making their way in the University. He has paid out $250 for three good cows, Holstein and Jersey. At present he is selling ten gallons of milk a day for 28 cents a gallon. The cows are an average daily expense of 20 cents apiece and the cost of engaging hands to distribute the milk and other expenses incident to the business cost 70 cents a day. This leaves a return of $1.50 to $1.75 a day for the three or four hours' work expended in caring for his cows.
At the outset Mr. O'Connor had some trouble in finding a sale for his milk, but with several days' hard work vanassing among the matrons of the boarding clubs, he worked up a good route and is now contemplating the purchase of several more cows so that he may supply the demand for his milk.
Mr. O'Connor's home is in Junction City, but he has been spending his vacations working in Oklahoma where his father owns a cattle ranch. He learned the cattle and dairy business there.
AN ORCHESTRA CONCERT.
Will Be Given Thursday Evening in Chapel.
An orchestra concert will be given next Thursday evening in the chapel of Fraser hall. There will be a solo by Mrs. Lyons and by two members of the orchestra. Mr.W. Dalton on the violoncello and Mr.U. Gribble on the trombone. Enterprise tickets are good for admission.
FOR A "FIGHTING 500."
Cheering Organization Will Be Organized.
Tomorrow men in all schools of the University will start the campaign for members for the "Fighting Five Hundred." A large number of men have already asked for admittance. The men behind the project will not stop until the five hundred names have been secured.
Y. W. C. A. Meeting.
Cascade, the home of the summer conference, will be discussed at the Y. W. C. A. meeting Wednesday afternoon at 4:45 in room 110. The delegates and visitors at the conference this summer will tell of the work planned there and of the good times they had. All the girls at the University are cordially invited.

The Men's Student Council will meet in room 116, Fraser hall, this evening at 7:30 o'clock.
