SCRIMMAGE WORK TO COME THIS WEEK
Coach Sherwin Dissatisfied With Mass Meeting.
Delaney, Heil, Wilson and Wood budy Developing Into Good Kickers.
A big tackling-dummy was brought on the football field last night and for over an hour the fifty men who were out for practice made flying leaps at the straw man. This was the first approach to the serimimage practice which the coach has promised for some time this week. Delaney, Heil, Wilson and Woodbury were given a thorough workout in the kicking game and averaged forty yards on the kicks. Delaney shot drop kicks from the forty yard line with surprising accuracy.
Coach Sherwin continued to use his same method of developing the men and under the direction of Assistant Coach Bond several squads worked on the sled and on the track. Practice was concluded with a short workout for the ends on getting down after the ball on a punt. As yet there have been no selections made by the coach and it is not too late for those who have not tried out to get a suit and come out. The coach seemed much dissatisfied at the small number of men that attended the mass meeting last Friday night. “In Dartmouth with an enrollment of 1,500 there would not be 25 men missing from such a meeting as was called the other night,” he said. “Here the proportion was almost reversed.”
Last week the coach issued a call for a tryout for the freshmen football team, but on account of the refusal of E.H.Putnam of Dartmouth to take the position of first assistant coach, the first year men will have to wait until a coach is selected. Coach Sherwin is a staunch advocate of making first year athletics of great importance. He considers that if freshmen can be made to come out for the team there will be no trouble in getting material for the regular varsity teams. He favors a schedule of games with other schools or academies and would like to see the restrictions that forbid the playing of out of town games for the freshmen, abolished.
Vaughn Wood who was on the ever victorious team in '08, suffered a dislocation of the shoulder last Friday when he fell on a ball. He will be out of the game for at least two weeks. Geoffray Miller, who played guard on the St. Marys team he attended that school, appeared in suit last night will try out for a position in the line.
OREAD CLUB LOSES.
Visitors Take Game by 17 to 12 Score.
"Yes, we lost this time; but we're going to play a return game with the Evanston Golf team on their home grounds in Kansas City, soon, and then we intend to teach them some of the science of golf-playing."
The above was the statement of Prof. Patterson, while commenting on the game played Saturday afternoon between the Oread club and the Evanston Golf team of Kansas City, on Me Cook Field.
Each team had eleven member and the game was snappy and close. The score was a matter of doubt until the last two pairs of players came in, when the visiting team forged ahead, finishing with a final score of 17 to 12 in their favor.
The return-game is scheduled for two weeks from this coming Saturday, when the K. U. team expects to bear off the laurels.

CAN WEIGH THE EARTH.
New Machine Received Here Can Perform This Feat.
Among the new apparatus received at the physics department is a delicate machine called the cavendish, with which Prof. Kester says he can weigh the earth.
"The machine is so arranged that the constant of universal gravitation between two balls of known mass at a given distance from each other may be determined.
Having known this constant, the distance between the center of mass of the earth and that of a body of known mass, the weight of the earth may be determined by the inverse law of gravitation.

PUTNAM REFUSES OFFER.
Dartmouth Man Won't Spend Full Year Here.
CHEMISTS INVENT NEW METAL POLISH
T. O. Putnam who was elected assistant football coach at a meeting of the athletic board Friday, has wired that he cannot accept the position. Putnam is an old Dartmouth man and team mate of Coach Sherwin, and was highly recommended by the later. Putnam did not feel that he would be able to put in a whole school year here at the University as a member of the faculty. He was willing to come from the east for the football season. The new ruling this year requires that all coaches be regular members of the faculty for the year. It had been planned to place Putnam in the Physical education department.

New Silver and Gold Cleanser Will Be Displayed at Fair —Contracts Let.
Ipeo is the name of a new silver and gold polish which was discovered by a number of chemical students at the University during the past spring and summer. It consists of a powder which is used in connection with a special combination of metals and alloy. Patents on the invention have been applied for and the Industrial Products Co. been formed here in Lawrence for the manufacture of the powder. The metallic alloy is being made for the company by the Reduction Company of America at Niagara Falls New York, in their electric furnaces. Exclusive rights for the sale of the new polish in the states of California, Idaho, and Illinois have already been sold.
Geo. Weith, '10, will give a demonstration of Ipeo at the fair grounds this week.
Ipeo introduces an entirely new process in the polishing of silver and gold. It cannot be used for nickle or brass. Its chief merits are that it requires no rubbing and actually preserves the silver. A teaspoonful of the powder is dissolved in a quart of boiling water, and it is into this solution that the article to be cleaned is placed. Then the solution is touched with a piece o the metallic alloy and the silver immediately becomes clean. The secret of the process lies in the alloy.

ONLY SLIGHT INCREASE.
Summer School Figures Should Raise Average.
The registration figures today had reached a total of 1,967. Last year at the same time the number of students enrolled had reached 1,961. The figures show an increase of but six student over last year. However this does not tell the truth about the registration as the summer school students have not been counted.
"When our totals are made up they will include the number of summer school students who have not returned to school this fall," said Registrar Foster, this morning. "When the summer school students are counted the total will be increased by about 250.
