THE UNIVERSITY KANSAN.
VOLUME VIII.
NOT DISAPPOINTED IN TEAM'S SHOWING
LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1911.
COACH  SHERWIN  SAYS
BAKER  WAS A  SURPIRE
Will Develop Team Faster This Week—A Few Words Regarding Eastern Football.
"I was not disappointed in the showing the varsity made last Saturday," said Coach Sherwin last night. "As a team the men did all that I have told them but some of the individual playing was extremely poor. I was led to believe that Baker had a team of only mediocre ability and I had coached my men in only the fundamentals of the game. I see that I will have to develop my men faster and the students will see a change in the team by next Saturday. There was some fine individual playing but the work of the men as a whole was not consistent enough to win the game. I had never predicted over a six to nothing game."
The game last Saturday developed the fact that Kansas was uninstructed in the art of making and breaking up forward passes and on the field last night the men put in a strenuous hour trying to master this play. Coach Scherer of Baker had pointed his men for this game and in the forward pass they far excelled the University players.
Coach Sherwin gave his men a talk last night on their weakness in the Saturday game and the practice last evening indicated that it is his intention to develop the team faster and when the whistle blows for the St. Marys game a more experienced football machine will take the field than represented Kansas last Saturday.
Ammons will be retained at tackle and Stuewe will be the regular full back. Ahrens will be the permanent fixture at center with Davidson probably holding down a guard. Twenty-five men have been chosen by the coach as a nucleus for the team but all of the tryouts will be kept if possible to be used in practice against the regulars. Delaney showed excellent form in kicking and will be kept in the line somewhere for this purpose.
Coach Sherwin was more talkative than usual yesterday and told some of the main differences between the eastern and western ideas of football.
"In the east a team is pointed for one game and if the rest of the games on the schedule are lost the students think nothing of it. Several years ago Dartmouth Amherst and Williams played triangular games but Dartmouth soon outdistanced the others and now uses the other two as practice teams. Now the big game of the year for both Amherst and Williams is their annual contest and neither of them would think of pointing their teams to beat Dartmouth. In the west the prevalent opinion seems to be that a season is unsuccessful if every game is not won."

HEALTH FOR GIRLS
Dr. Johnson Discussed This Sub- iect in Chapel.
Prof. Margaret Johnson, head of the department of physical culture for women, spoke in chapel this morning.
Dr. Johnson congratulated the University of Kansas on the work already done in this department and told of the advantages of such training. She said women were not so strong or healthy as men as a rule, and therefore development of the physical self is more necessary. "Such training gives young women grace, dignity, recreation, health and strength."
That college women are realizing more and more each year the need of such work is the opinion of the speaker. Dr. Johnson has hours for consultation with girls in ill health each day from nine to ten. This week is the last opportunity to enter gymnasium classes for the first semester.

1000 ROOTERS
ANNUAL "NIGHT SHIRT"
AFFAIR A SUCCESS
ATTEND PARADE
Despite Score a Ghostly Crew
Took The Town—Sherwin
Was Pleased.
Although the score of the Baker game was a surprise to the students, the "night shirt parade" Saturday night was one of the most enthusiastic ever held. Over 1000 men assembled at South Park and followed Cheer Leader Dolde over the University campus and down to Professor Walker's home where Chancellor Strong and Uncle Jimmy Green were called out for short speeches.
When the "snake dance" started down Massachusetts street the lights showed a variety of costumes worn by the student. One rooter was conspicuous because of a pajama suit which was decorated with the stripes found in prison. Nearly everyone had a night cap on.
This year there wasn't any hesitation about "taking" the nickels. Besides that, the "gang" went through the new Innes building, Ten Cent store, Weidemans, News Depot, Eldridge house and then through the nickels again. The stunt was not over before 11 o'clock.
Coach Sherwin said of the parade that it was one of the finest displays of "college spirit" he had seen.
GOLF PLAYERS ARE OUT

Sterling defeated Raymond eight up and seven to play; Barteldes defeated Patterson three up and two to play. The remaining five matches of the first round will be played this afternoon and the entire second round the latter part of the week. Next week the semi-finals and finals will be decided. Special interest is being shown in the match this afternoon between W. M. Sterling, the holder of last year's championship, and Kinnear of the School of Engineering.

PROFESSORS TO K. S. A. C.
Lectures on Literary Work.
Mrs. Bryant, librarian of the School of Engineering, has been lecturing to small groups of students at various times during the last week on how to use the library, and find books. Classes in English are to be dismissed to attend these informal lectures which are almost necessary to all new students who have "tech' work to do.
"LAUGH AND BE GAY."
English Marquis Spoke to 3,000 Illinois University Students.
Campaign, Ill., Oct. 10.—The Marquis of Queensberry was the guest of the athletic association here recently, and at a mass meeting of 3,000 students delivered an address on sportsmanship and right living that struck the right spot in the sympathies of the audience.
"Laugh and be gay," was the Marquis' view of life. "Drink, even, if you can drink in moderation. Enjoy all the good things of life. Be a laughing, jolly, good old sporting Christian, and get out of life as much as ever you can. God has given us plenty of dear ones and enjoyments, and wants us to be happy. And don't listen to the long faced cranks. Just go your way and sip all that is sweetest in life; but do nothing mean, nothing dishonorable and if you do, go immediately and atone for it."
SAW A SCOUT SCOUTING
And Now The 'No Admittance' Sign is on McCook.
A supposed seout, from the St. Marys camp caused Coach Sherwin to start the first secret practice of the year this afternoon. Shortly after three o'clock when the men were assembling on the field a man was seen in the back row of seats of the grand stand apparently prepared to observe the new tactics to be used by the coach this week.
TEXAS COACH DEAD.
Coach Sherwin had decided to show some new plays to his tryouts this afternoon and in order to avoid any chance of his special formations being given away he barred all spectators from the field, including newspaper men. Secret practice will be a regular feature all week. This is the first time in the history of football at this University that such practice has been started so early.
Wm. Wasmund Dies as a Result of Fall—Plaved Under Yost.
MICHIGAN FOR DORMTORIES
Austin, Tex., Oct. 10—William Wasmund, coach of the University of Texas football team, died Wednesday as the result of injuries received from a fall from his room window early Sunday morning. It is supposed that he walked in his sleep and thus sustained the fall which burst his bladder. Wesmund was the last player to play four years under "Hurry Up" Yost of the Michigan team and was considered one of the foremost football players in the United Stated, being mentioned for the all-American team at one time.
College League Will Raise Money, This Year.
Holiday Thursday.
Next Thursday is a legal holiday (Columbus Day) and no classes will be held by any University professors.
Plans for the action of the Women's League which contemplates the building of residence halls for university women, will take a decisive turn at a meeting of the League to be held at the College Club in Detroit on October 13. Edna Thuner, president of the league will speak at the function, and Mrs. John O. Reec is expected t ohelp officiate.
Work on this design which received such an impetus last year due to the efforts of Miss Myrtle White has been suspended over summer and much pent up enthusiasm is expected to be in evidence at the planned meeting Michigan Daily.
For Missouri Students.
Both men and women students are requested to meet at 1331 Ohio street Thursday evening at 7:30 to organize a club of the students from Missouri.
JUNIOR LAWS AT LAST ELECT TICKET
YOUTHFUL BLACKSTONES
HAVE HARD TIME.
Upperclassmen Are Playful And Block Business—Election Contested on Grounds of Fraud.
After strenuous efforts extending over a period of two days the Junior Law class today succeeded in electing a ticket. Upperclassmen flooded the election Tuesday in chapel time, and voted on every proposition that was brought up for discussion. President Snyder of the senior law class postponed the meeting until today at chapel time when the upperclassmen again invaded the meeting and blocked business.
At last an ingenious junior law hit upon the scheme of holding the election at noon, when even the pleasure of attending a freshman law election could not keep an upperclassman from his dinner. The ruse was successful and the following ticket was elected; G. W. Von Schultz was elected over one of the Sowers twins—no one knows which—by a score of 24 to 21; M. W. Goldsworthy was elected vice president by a score of 30 to 20, and Miss W. I. McCoskrie was elected secretary and J. S. E. Kent, treasurer by a unanimous vote. The election has been contested and there may be another one.
IOWA HAS NEW BUILDING
Completed Physics Laboratory Reputed Best in World.
The new physics building that is being erected at the University of Iowa is reputed to excel in beauty and efficiency of architecture any such building in the world.
Without furniture or equipment, the edifice will cost $225,
000, and when finally equipped and outfitted will represent an
outlay of $300,000.
The names of the noted physicists of the world are engraved on the entablature, starting with Archimedes, Gilbert, and Galileo, and proceeding in order of time to Drude, the last.
Classic simplicity is the keynote of the structure within. The building is free from useless ornamentation, but relies on correct, clean cut proportioning of its divisions for its beauty.
The building is entirely flexible. Solid walls divide the various stories into four large divisions, two at the ends, and two at the sides along the corridor. The remaining divisions are made only by light walls which can easily be removed or changed. Thus the subdivision may be altered at a later date to accommodate any changes that may arise in the teaching of physics in the future years, or the ideas of a future generation. In but two physics halls in the world has this modern idea been applied; one at the University of Toronto and one now under construction at Yale.
