KENNEDY'S MEN SHOW GREAT IMPROVEMENT.
Game Was Full of Open Field— Onside Kick Was Used for Good Gains.
In a game full of open field foot ball, the husky Jayhawkers defeated the Washington University team on McCook field this afternoon by a score of 23 to 0. The visitors were lighter than Kennedy's men, but they played a hard losing game.
The Kansas team, which played today was at no time the strongest aggregation that Kennedy and Mosse can line up. Heil, the second quarterback, played a consistent punting game. The whole team played a fast game. Kennedy's pet onside kick did great work for the Jayhawkers. Time and time again long gains were made by this play.
Washington has the forward pass play under control better than any other team that has played on McCook field this year.

CLUB HOUSE NEXT YEAR
ASSOCIATION TRAINING TABLE FOR ATHLETES.
Plans for a Two-Room Cottage at Cost of $1,000—Will Be Near Tennis Courts.
Manager Lansdon of the athletic association, is making plans to establish an association training table for the athletic teams next year. A cottage with a well equipped kitchen and a large dining room will probably be erected on the tennis courts near McCook field. The manager has formulated plans for a building to cost about $1,000. The structure will be amply adequate for the needs of the men in training, and their cost of maintaining the table will be less than under the present system. This year the training table is at the Eldridge hotel.
The reason the manager wishes to make new arrangements for the athletes is that it has always been difficult to obtain the proper kind of food cooked in the right way for the men. When the new building is equipped the men will be assured of receiving the best kind of nourishment, and after the meals the coaches will have an opportunity to give the men chalk talks and other helpful advice that is hardly possible under the present manner of conducting the table.
There Is Something Loose.
Weekly Tea for Zoologists.
It is, of course, a little too early to judge what strength Kansas is likely to exhibit against the Cornhuskers in the game on November 6. Yet, to decide from the showing in the games already played, it must be said the Lawrence team does not appear as strong as it was last fall. A bare victory over Oklahoma and an extremely shady winning from the Kansas Aggies indicates there is something loose in Coach Kennedy's much-touted football machine.—Daily Nebraskan.
An innovation in the social life of the zoology department was started Thursday afternoon when the members of the department met in the lecture room of Snow hall and held an informal tear. Various topics relative to the good of the department were discussed. The members decided to make the tea a weekly affair, at which time they will relax from their usual gravity and engage in heart to heart talks.
Gave Smallest Snake.
Edward Taylor, an ex-student in the department of zoology, gave to the department this week a speciment of the smallest specie of the snake in existence. In the adult this creature never reaches over five inches in length.
Professor F. W. Blackmar will deliver the address at the Baker vesper services tomorrow.
TELEGRAMS FROM COOK
Dr. Cook Accepts Services Offered by University.
This morning, in two telegrams from Duluth, Dr. Frederick A. Cook accepted the services of Professor L. L. Dyche for the Mt. McKinley trip. The telegrams are as follows:
"Chancellor Strong: I appreciate your kind offer and gladly accept services of Prof. Dyche for ascent of Mt. McKinley.
"FREDERICK A. COOK."
"Professor L. L. Dyche: Will be pleased to have you join Mt McKinley expedition. Details will be arranged shortly.
WILL LEAVE NEXT WEEK.
"FREDERICK A. COOK."
Professor Dyche Will Make Ex
tensive lecture Tour.
DEAN KAYE IN CHAPEL
Professor Dyche of the Zoological department will start on his lecture tour on Wednesday of next week. His first lecture will be given in Emporia and after a few more lectures in the West, he will make an extended tour of the Eastern cities. His business manager has not as yet fully arranged his dates. Prof. Dyche expects to be occupied in this way until he joins Dr. Cook in the spring to accompany him on his ascent of Mt. McKinley. His subject will be, "Cook and the North Pole."
Since the purpose of the lecture is largely instructive it will in some measure be under the auspices of the University of Kansas. Professor Dyche, however, undertakes the responsibilities of the financial success of the tour.
'Waste Only Another Name for Ignorance.'
Are Classifying Collection.
The members of the zoology department have commenced to unpack and classify the specimens gathered this summer by the collecting party in the northwest. The store room has been remodeled, new shelves put in and a well regulated system of labeling and placing the specimens provided. On account of the constantly increasing amount of work that is each year being put on the department, they have formulated a card system of labeling and lettering that will keep the vast colection always in order.
The Rev. J. P. de Kaye, dean of Grace Cathedral of Topeka, spoke in chapel Friday morning in regard to the development of life by the use of those things which would be termed by-products in the material world. He said that waste was only another name for ignorance. When human endeavor seems useless to us we should remember that we are but part of a great movement. A greater consideration should be given to things which seem on the side. The possibilities of life are contained in the recognition and use of the by-products of life.
TO INVESTIGATE SUPERNATURAL
PROF. R. K. DUNCAN TO STUDY ITALIAN MEDIUM..
Is One of Committee of American Scientists Who Will Look Into Case of Madame Paladino.
Prof. Robert Kennedy Dunean has been highly honored by being offered a seat on the committee of American scientists who will meet in New York city during the first part of January, to investigate the strange powers of a noted Italian medium, Madame Eusapia Paladino.
This remarkable woman has for twenty years been the object of investigations by such famous psychie detective and skeptical scientists as Prof. Lomboroso, M. Curie, Sir Oliver Lodge and others. Hereward Carrington was the first American to be granted a sitting. He went to Naples, Eusapia's home, expecting to detect some trickery, as he had in every previous case he had handled. On the contrary, however, Mr. Carrington and his companions, Honorable Evard Fielding and Mr. W. W. Baggaly, both men of note as psychie detectives, were compelled to admit that no fraud existed. Not only did chairs and tables move about, but apparitions appeared, who upon request, left impressions of their features in wet clay provided for that purpose by the investigators.
The majority of psychologists in this country still refuse to believe that Madam Paladino is not a fraud. In order to prove to them that Eussapia really has supernatural powers, Mr. Carrington has induced her to come to this country for a series of seances. The sittings will first take place before a number of psychic detectives who will trp in every way to find some cheat in Madam Paladino's performance. If they fair, the sitting will be repeated before a group of the most famous American scientists. It is to this committee that Prof. Duncan has been asked to sit.
The other members of the committee are Professors C. S. Minot, James Trowbridge and Munsterberg, of Harvard; Prof. Scripture of Yale, Prof. Hyslop of Columbia, President G. Stanley Hall of Clarke, Prof. Wood of Johns Hopkins, and Professors Pickering, C. L. Dana and Newbold.
Prof. Dunean, when questioned this morning concerning his opinions, said: "I will go to New York with absolutely no opinion formed. Farthur than that this promises to be the most fascinating study I have ever been permitted to take part in, I have nothing to say."
