THE UNIVERSITY KANSAN.
NUMBER 22.
VOLUME VIII.
PLACE AN ORDER FOR 27 BLANKETS
LAWRENCE. KANSAS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1911.
COMMITTEE HAS RAISED ALMOST $300.
"K" Men Will Probably Receive Their Blanket After Three Years Service.
Twenty seven football blankets have been ordered by the committee made up of the presidents of the schools. It was originally the intention of the committee to buy eighteen blankets but as only a part of the squad could be thus accommodated, the order was increased to twenty seven. With this number, every player who goes to Missouri will have a new blanket to use.
The blankets are to be crimson with blue borders and each will have in the center a fourteen inch "block K" around which is a circle of blue, twenty four inches in diameter and two inches wide. The blankets are to cost about twelve dollars each when delivered and will be of good quality. This will make the cost of all the blankets about three hundred and twenty-four dollars but at the present time only $285 have been subscribed and collected so that more money will be needed.
Every effort is being made to have the blankets here in time for the Nebraska game and it is possible that they may be received in time for the Oklahoma game.
It has been the prevailing idea that the blankets were to be given to the men at the end of the year, but to do this would necessitate the buying of new blankets each year, and the expense would be so great that the custom would soon die out. Therefore it has been decided to turn over the blankets to the Athletic Association to be cared for by them and to be kept from year to year.
However, some arrangement will be made whereby a player having three "K's" may be allowed to keep his blanket on possibly that every "K" man who leaves the University may take his blanket with him. In either case new blankets would be provided each year as needed by the Athletic Association. However nothing definite concerning this matter has been decided and it will be attended to later.
K. U. REUNION—BANQUET
Will be Held in Topeka Next Thursday
Next Thursday night at the First Baptist church of Topeka will be held the annual K. U. faculty and alumni reunion and banquet. The reunion will be held at 5 o'clock, and the banquet at 6. The Kansas State Teachers' Association will be held at Topeka Thursday and Friday. After the banquet Thursday night members of 'the faculty will be able to catch a Santa Fe train for Lawrence so that they will not have to stay all night in Topeka.
All those who expect to go shoul den notify Prof. R. R. Price so that arrangements for the proper number can be made.
MAY DIVIDE CLASSES
Junior Laws Want Practice Court in Sections.
The junior laws have circulated a petition to have their practice court divided into two sections. At present this class, which meets at 2:30, has about one hundred and twenty-five students enrolled. The juniors think that by dividing the class, having one section at 1:30 and the other at 2:30, they will receive much more benefit from the work.
CHANCELLOR'S RECEPTION
More than two hundred attended the formal reception of the members of the faculty last night at the home of Chancellor and Mrs. Strong. Refreshments consisting of icecream, cake, and coffee were served on the second floor, and punch was served in the dining room.
Twelve of the members of the faculty assisted. The The reception has been an annual event ever since Mr. Strong became Chancellor in 1902.
MOVERS ARE BUSY
Pictures, Chairs, and Black boards Disappear from Fraser
"Moving Day," was the tune of harmony that echoed through the halls of Fraser this morning by knocking hammers, screeching nails and cracking boards. The setting of the old order of things was being razed. Pictures, map racks, old chairs, things that had not been moved for years were piled into wagons and taken away.
Thirteen janitors of the University and five extra men have been working since Wednesday to move the departments of History, Economics and Sociology from Fraser hall to their new quarters in the Administration building. The work will practically be finished by this evening.
Some of the chairs, black and scarred have been in Fraser since the time of Chancellor James Marvin, 1875. They bear the chewing gum and initials of past students now famous in the State's activities.
There will be little need for these old seats any more. They will be stored away and used only on special occasions.
KANSAN HAS MOVED
"It seems just like moving out of an old home," said Prof. F. W. Blackmar as he took down the "Dean of the Graduate School" sign from the door of his old office in Fraser.
You Will Now Find us in Room 110.
The new equipment which has been ordered will arrive and be set up sometime in December at which time the "Kansan" may become a daily sheet and have one of the best offices of the college papers in the west.
Junior Girl's Meeting.
The department of Journalism of the University of Kansas, and "The Kansan" offices have moved into new quarters and are now working in an atmosphere typical of a metropolitan newspaper. All of the editorial desks, typewriters and newspaper files were taken from the basement of Fraser and collected in the large room at 110 on the main floor. This will be the office of the "Kansan" from now on and it will have communication through a "copy" tube, with the job room, linotype and press rooms which are situated in the basement below.
Junior girls meet There will be a meeting of all junior girls at 4:30 Monday November 6 in chapel to discuss the candy sale. All junior girls will show their loyalty by being present.
"I established my office in this room in September 1889 and for the past twenty two years have had no other. At that time there was no department of sociology, and I was the one and only teacher of both European History and Economics."

CHANCELLOR'S OPEN HOUR
He Will See Anybody Monday's From Three to Four.
The Chancellor has arranged to have an open hour each Monday afternoon from three to four, when any student in the University who may wish to talk to him, will find him in his office. In case the Chancellor must be absent, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. W. H. Carruth, may be seen at the same hour in the Chancellor's office.
This arrangement of the Chancellor is a new provision, caused by the fact that the Chancellor's time was so much taken up that he could rarely have an interview with the students.
WATER ANALYSIS IS UNSATISFACTORY
TESTS SHOW PRESENCE OF RIVER WATER.
Hypochlorid Apparatus Will be Installed—Fountains on Hill Are Closed Today.
The analysis of city water by the Water Analysis department of the University from a sample taken October 28, indicates that river water is being used by the Lawrence Water Co. The test shows that chlorine is abnormally high and typhoid organisms are probably present. An examination by the Bacteriological department shows that the bacterial count is much higher than normal and also indicates contamination by river water.
The University Health department has ordered all drinking fountains on the hill closed until further notice and recommends that as a precautionary measure, all city water should be boiled before used for drinking or domestic purposes.
Delegates to Music Convention Guests of Honor.
MU PHI ENTERTAINS
The Mu Phi girls entertained a number of delegates to the state Music' Teachers' Convention at the Trovillo home Thursday evening. An informal four-course luncheon was served, after which the girls attended the concert in Fraser hall. The guests of honor were Miss Florence Cros and Miss Mable Rhodes, of Emporia, Miss Leverue Landon, Miss Cora Smith and Miss Louise Webb, of Coffeyville, and Miss Helen Phipps, of Topeka.
Steps have been taken, not only to prevent any further contamination of the water supply by the use of river water, but to install immediately a Hypochlorid Apparatus belonging to the State Board of Health, which will prevent any injurious results.
"Ponies" Burned
At Oberlin College the students in Latin had a bon fine and burned up their "ponies," in return the professors agreed to shorten the length of the usual assignment.
There will be a meeting of the Short Grass club in room 116 Tuesday Nov. 7 at 12:15. All members and students from the western part of the state are urged to be present.

JAYHAWKERS TRIUMPH OVER WASHBURN 14-6
DRIVER'S MEN FIRST TO CROSS KANSAS GOAL
Delaney Makes Three Drop Kicks--Congregationalists Used Forward Pass Frequently
The Sons of Ichabod put up a sturdy resistance to the onslaughts of the Jayhawkers to day but were defeated by a score of 14 to 1 on the Washburn field
The good right toe of Delaney was again a great factor in the result of the game. Repeatedly he punted the ball away from the Kansas goal, his spirits averaging 45 yards. Some of them were floated over 60 yards down the field before they were caught by the Washburn backs. With three field goals he was responsible for 9 of the 14 points scored by Kansas. On the return of punts Washburn appeared to have the advantage of Kansas. Smiley and Rogers returning many times for 10 and 15 yards. Captain Ammons was responsible for the only touchdown Kansas made, going 10 yards through the line for five points.
Washburn placed her strength in the use of the forward pass and it was this play that was responsible for the only touchdown that has been made against Kansas this year.
Smiley, Bishop and Rogers were the chief exponents of this play for the Congregationalists and six successful flips averaging ten yards apiece were made by them. The Heil-Brownlee combination, that was so effective in the Drake game, was again in evidence and they made almost seventy yards gain in three attempts.
First Quarter.
Washburn won the toss and at two o'clock Tomlinson kicked off to Kansas over the goal line. The ball was put in play on the Kansas 25 yard line and by line bucks by Ahrens and Collidge Kansas made first down. Woodbury and Ahrens bucked the Washburn line hard and made 6 yards. Delaney then kicked 40 yards to Smiley who returned the ball to the Washburn 30 yard line.
Daniels replaced Ahrens at full back and the quarter ended with the ball on the Washburn 50 yard line in the Jayhawker's possession. Score Washburn, 0, Kansas 0.
line.
By straight line bucks through center Washburn made first down but a forward pass, Smiley to Rogers, was intercepted by Delaney. Kansas was penalized 5 yards for offside play. Washburn again made first down by line bucks by McIntosh and Rogers. Washburn was penalized 15 yards for holding and the ball was on her own 25 yard line. Smiley and Delaney exchanged punts and by line bucks by Tomlinson and Burkhart they brought the ball to their own 40 yard line. Kansas used the tackle swings and Schwab made 6 yards through center followed later by 2 more by Ammons. By the terrific line plunges of Woodbury and Coolidge Kansas make her downs with comparative ease.
From the first it was evident that the center of the Kansas line was weak and quarterback Smiley of Washburn directed his line plunges against this place Delaney and Smiley both averaged about 45 yards apiece on their punts. The playing of the Kansas back field was brilliant and they tore through the Washburn line for many long gains. Washburn used the forward pass five times but for no gain.
Buzz Woodbury replaced Coo
Second. Quarter.
judge at right half. Delancy kicked 40 yards to Smiley who returned the ball to the Washburn 30 yard line. After trying the Kansas line and finding it a stone wall, Smiley flipped a forward pass to Rogers for 10 yards. A moment later Smiley passed the ball to McIntosh for a 5 yard gain. The ball was in the middle of the field in Washburn's possession.
Washburn used the forward pass in almost every play and was successful in working the ball to the Kansas 40 yard line where the Kansas ends intercepted the passes and by straight line plunges by Woodbury and a run by Heil they worked the ball to the Washburn 25 yard line. A moment later Delaney spun a beautiful goal from the thirty-five yard line for the first score of the game. Score Kansas 3 Washburn 0.
Tomlinson booted the ball over the Kansas goal line again and the ball was put the Kansas 25 yard line. By a series of end runs by the Woodbury brothers and Daniels the ball is advanced to the Washburn 40 yard line. Here Heil flung a forward pass to Brownlee that netted 10 yards.
Kapler replaced Todd Woodbury. The Kansas backs worked the ball to the Washburn 20 yard line where Delaney added three more scores for Kansas by dropkicking a pretty goal.
Score Kansas 6, Washburn 0.
Score Kansas 6, Washburn 0.
Magill replaced Brownlee at right end. Tomlinson again kicked over the goal line and the ball was put in play on the Kansas 25 yard line.
A fumble by Buzz Woodbury allowed Washburn to recover the ball on the Kansas 40 yard line and by rushes through the Jayhawker line Washburn advanced the ball to the Kansas 42 yard line. Here Kabler intercepted a forward pass (Smiley to Bishop) and ran thirty yards before he was downed. The half ended with the ball in Kansas possession on her own 30 yard line. Score Kansas 6, Washburn 0.
The continuous use of the for ward pass by Washburn characterized this quarter.
Between the halves the Washburn band of 45 pieces and the Kansas band of 36 pieces engaged in a lively exchange of melody. The 200 Kansas rooters seemed to have the best of a yelling contest with the Sons of Iehabod.
Second Half.
Tomlinson started the second half by again heaving the ball over the goal line. Ball was put in play on the Kansas 25 yard line. Delaney punted 45 yards to Smiley. Bishop attempted to punt but it was blocked by Schwab. A moment later he again shattered the Washburn line and blocked Bishop's kick. The ball was in Kansas possession on the Washburn 25 yard line. After a try for a touchdown through the line, Captain Ammons crashed through the Washburn line from the 10 yard line for a touch down. Delaney failed at goal. Score Kansas 11, Washburn 0.
Wilson replaced Heil. A moment later Smiley, who has played a wonderful game for the Congregationalists, threw the ball to Bishop who ran 15 yards
