TUESDAY, OCT. 12, 1909
The Jayhawkers have met and defeated their first heavy opponents. The prospects in the football line are brightening every day, and if the men on the team do not get it into their heads that they are the only football team in the valley that has graduated out of the high school class, they will make a good record this year. Kansas has yet to meet some mighty class bands of football chasers, and each and every one of those several bands is biding its time when it will get a good chance to humble the proud Kansans. Unless the Jayhawkers keep a weather eye peeled for the would-be assassins they will get slipped up on, and be the most surprised lot of athletes that ever donned a mole-skin. A certain farmer team at Manhattan intends to take a good crack at Kansas next Saturday. These same Farmers have the accomplishment of football down to a fine point, and they play the game in the same style that the inventors intended it should be played. Hist, men; look out for Manhattan.
The date fixed for all freshmen to don their school caps is only a week off. Many of the first year students have already purchased the new head gear. The custom on the part of freshmen to wear distinctive caps is a good one and should be enforced as far as possible by the class itself. The freshmen, as a whole, are not averse to wearing the caps for they feel that the custom merits their acquiescence. Every freshman should have a cap by Monday.
Faculty Ladies Entertain.
The first Faculty tea was given by the ladies of the Faculty, Friday afternoon in the Classical Museum in Fraser Hall. Mrs. L. D. Havenhill assisted by Mrs. E. Haworth and Mrs. Strong received. Tea, sandwiches and nuts were served from a table, decorated with fern and red sage. These informal teas are to be given once a month for the next six months in order to bring the girls of the University into closer acquaintance with Faculty women.
D. J. Dousman, a freshman in the Engineeering School visited at his home in Kansas City, Saturday and Sunday.

NEW BOILERS IN PLACE.
Engineers Will Be Warm Enough in a Short Time.
Two large boilers are being installed in the heating plant of the University. They were made by Joseph Bromich, of Topeka, and are of 150 H. P., weighing 18,000 pounds each.
On account of the large size of the boilers, they were placed on house-trucks and hauled up to the University by a traction engine.
These boilers are needed on account of the increased heat supply necessary for the new Engineering and Mining buildings. The steam pipes will not be completely installed in the Engineering building before November.
Roger Peard a Sigmu Nu.
Roger Wood Peard, who was a student in the University of Kansas for a number of years and was somewhat noted as basket ball player, is attending the University of Oklahoma this year. He was recently made a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity of that school.
In a letter to University friends, W. R. B. Robertson, who holds a fellowship in Harvard this year, says that he feels perfectly at home in school because of there being so many former K. U. students doing work there. He is rooming in the same house with Robert Ray, fellow in Sociology, and has visited the Medical school where he met Scammon and Hoskins.
Taylor Abernathy and Hampton Gossard of Kansas City were guests at the Sigma Chi house over Sunday.
Clifford Cole, a Senior in the College, spent Saturday and Sunday at his home in Kansas City.
