SATURDAY, NOV. 2, 1909
Can Kansas repeat? Two ever victorious teams in two successive years is a goal that has never been attained in this section of the country. If Kansas turns the trick the achievement will be unsurpassed. In order to be all-victorious the Jayhawkers must meet and defeat Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri. These teams are strong and powerful, each is of about the same comparative strength, and each is itching to humble Kansas. We believe that, with a fair break, and the absolute support of the student body, Kansas can take these contests. Every student must get behind the team, and the team must play as it never played before for Kansas to repeat. With that combination the Jayhawkers will be ever victorious again.
In the matter of dropping the Manhattan game, how would it go to get a game with Illinois or Chicago? This year those two teams are about in the same class with Kansas and the Jayhawkers would have a good chance to take a contest with either of them. It is just about time, too, for Kansas to enter larger circles. A game with Chicago, in Kansas City, for instance, would be some contest, and Manager Lansdon would have to enlarge his coffers to hold the money. Nebraska plays each year with Minnesota, and a game with some team in the Chicago conference, outside of Iowa, would be an interesting experiment, at least.
The football games so far this season go to show that Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, and Ames are of just about the same strength. Compared with them, the Kansas team is an unknown quantity. If Kansas defeats Nebraska by a fair margin Saturday, Iowa and Missouri should also fall prey to the Jayhawkers. The Nebraska game will be the first real basis of comparison between Kansas and her heavy opponents to follow. Kansas is anxious to win from Nebraska in order to establish a standing; Nebraska is anxious to retrieve her defeat of last year. The game Saturday is bound to be a hummer.
Joined "Beat Kansas" Club.
Captain Pleasant of the football team is an honorary member of the "Beat Kansas" club, which has lately been formed at the University of Missouri. He was presented last week with a "Beat Kansas" pin, by Captain Ristine, of the Tiger team.

CONSTITUTION WAS AMENDED
THE INJUSTICES TO THE LAWS REMOVED.
Three Semesters Men May Now Be Officers of Student Council.
This morning after chapel at a mass meeting of the men of the university, an amendment to the constitution of the student council was unanimously adopted providing that any person, who has attended the University three semesters, is eligible to hold one of the council offices. The amended article originally required five semesters residence, and the injustice of this article, to men who get their degree in three years, kept the laws from joining the council.
The leaders in the Law school say that the laws will enter the student council at once and will elect their representatives in a few days. The student council will take into membership any law students elected.
The Pharmies, a few weeks ago, decided to enter the council and as soon as the laws act in the matter all the schools of the University will be represented.
Six University students walked to Baldwin Saturday and came back on the evening train. They passed through the grounds of Baker university, but did not stop. They were Mary Bitt, Elizabeth Dunaway, Nelle Rooney, Paul Meyer, Tom DeForest and J. Hanna. They are all first year students.
"I am very much gratified by the action of the Student Council this morning," said Prof. W. E. Higgins, a member of the faculty advisory committee for the organization. "I see before it an opportunity for usefulness. Since now the Law school will support the Student Council we have at least a University organization, representative of all interests of the school. I believe every student is loyal enough to give it hearty support."
Walked to Baldwin.
Walter Eckersal writing in the Chicago Tribune, says: "Wisconsin looks as good as any team in the West, and if it wins from Indiana on Saturday it will put up a great fight for the championship." Wisconsin put it over Indiana to a score of 6 to 3, and now we want to see if the rest of the prophecy will go into fulfillment.
