In the future the Jayhawker football team should not be asked to contest with schools almost as strong as K. U., but with eligibility rules lax. Manhattan has as many students as the university and can well live up to the Conference rules. It is not just to ask the team to play an institution with all the advantages that K. U. enjoys, but where professionals, ineligibles and old-timers are allowed to participate. A game against Ames under the Conference rules would not be so hard on the team as the Manhattan game under the present system. Manhattan and Oklahoma should be forced to play under conference rules or to drop their games with Kansas.
The reports of the game last Saturday in many of the papers over the country tell how Kansas was outclassed and outplayed. That is a wail that is common and as long as Kansas has the long end of the score it can go unnoticed. For the matter of all that we do not care how much K. U. is outplayed so long as the team wins.
Nearly every day The Kansan receives communications for the "kick" column that are unsigned. All kicks to be printed must be accompanied by the name of the person responsible. The name will not be published, but will be held to protect The Kansan.
FIRST ROUND PLAYED.
One Match Postponed—Second Round Wednesday.
The first round in the Oread Golf Club tournament was played off Saturday afternoon according to schedule, except that Prof. H. B. Newton was not well and could not play his match against Dr. Naismith at that time
The winners with their respective scores are as follows: Prof. F. W. Blackmar won from W. F. Spalding, one up; Prof. D. L. Patterson won from Prof. F. W. Raymond, five up and four to play; Prof. C. C. Crawford won from Prof. F. G. Bates, four up and two to play; Prof. Newton won from Prof. A. J. Boynton, three up and two to play; Prof. E. M. Brigs won from Ross Hall, two up and one to play; Prof. M. W. Sterling won from Prof. H. W. Humble, five up and four to play; Prof. W. H. Davis won from Prof. W. S. Johnson, two up and one to play.
The second round will be played by Wednesday evening.
HE WAS UNSPORTSMANLIKE
Manhattan Quarter Disqualified in Saturday's Game.
"In all my experience with football, both as a player and an official, this is the first time that I have ever seen a player ruled out of a game for rough work," commented Umpire Ryan, about the decision made after the injury of Johnson by the Aggie quarterback Bates. "There was no chance for doubt; I caught him in the act," concluded the official.
Tommy Johnson was running with the ball and after he was tackled by a Manhattan player and thrown to the ground, Bates, the Manhattan quarter, deliberately jumped upon him with both knees, putting him out of the game temporarily. Johnson was able to continue the game, but his playing was noticeably weakened by the injury.

MAY HAVE CLASS HATS.
Sophomores Are Considering Uniform Headgear.
Pres. Albert LeMoine had also intended to take up the matter of a uniform class hat, but small attendance prevented any decisive action. A committee was appointed, however, to discover if possible, what sort of hat is desired and to.get prices. A meeting will probably be called later to act upon the report of the committee.

The games that are doubtful for Kansas are the contests with Nebraska and Missouri, and these games are way down in the doubt column. Coach Roper has a husky bunch at Columbia this year and he is teaching them all about the game they call football. The team has been doing well thus far, but the next few weeks will make a wonderful improvement in the
News from the Front
There have been enough games played in the valley this fall to give a pretty good line on the abilities of the several teams. Of the remaining games on the Kansas schedule, the ones with Washington, Washburn and Iowa should be taken by the Jayhawkers. The Washington team is light and has not done anything startling yet this year. It is very little stronger than the team of last year that Kansas defeated 10 to 0 in the snow. The Washburn game should be easy for Kansas. The Topeka team is considerably improved over last year, but it is hardly in a class with Kansas. Iowa has not shown up well on the gridiron this season, and it seems quite likely from this angle that her bad record of last year will be largely repeated. From all the dope Kansas ought to beat the Hawkeyes by a good margin.
Tigers. Thanksgiving day Roper will line up the best team against Kansas that has worn the Tiger togs in several years. The Kansas players will have to do better than they have done so far to stay in the same ring with Missouri.
Coach Cole, at Nebraska, has a good team this year. The Cornhuskers put up a great contest against Minnesota Saturday, and their playing was a surprise to ex-Captain Rouse, who saw the game. The Nebraskans are going to have a strong team and the main use they intend to make of it is to beat Kansas.
At the present time the prospects seem to favor Nebrosk and Missouri to take their games with Kansas.

How Does this One Strike You?
This is one of the clever styles they're asking for in New York and Chicago—a low crowned, medium brimmed, light gray soft hat with ribbon of self-color or contrasting shade. The man who designed it works for the Imperial Hat people, and he certainly did make a lucky strike. If you like this, ask for it in our hat department. You ought to see this Imperial display of ours. It's simply full of catchy innovations and not one of them will cost you more than
