Sketch of Men and Dates of
Games.

Lawrence. Oct. 22.-When old Sol
shines down on McCook field each
practice afternoon in the week he sees
a motley lot of bushy- headed candi-
dates for football honors. 1t is out of
this array that Coach Woodruff is
building up a team whose few games
already played promises to be the only
true never defeated team that ever
Wore the crimson and the blue. It is in
this crowd of Drawn and beef that
Kansas puts all its trust to drive the
| lusty Tiger back to his den next
Thanksgiving day in a worse defeat
than he suffered last year.
OF DR.. Wiley G.. Woodruff himself too
much in his praise cannot be said as
| he has built a splendid team out of
what seemed very ordinary material
OF last years team seven are now at
I the university. There still remains to
be filed the positions OF both tackles,
one halfback and fullback.
Walker at center viii be seen in his
oId poSIIoh' pace In Whlch ne mas
never been outplayed in his four years
OF football. Nat Foster as left guard
is last years two hundred pound tack
le and is considered the best line man
in the west. His tandem work is OF a
marvellous order, he is a strong runner,
a fine tackler and always goes through
the line as if shot from a gun. Moses
at right guard. though a good, heady
player. is not in the same class with
Foster OF the tackles there are a host
Avery seems to be the favOrite follow
ed by BlOckberger, Hartmen and Bur
ton, all strong, plucky players.
At the ends Voights and Games seem
to be sure of their positions. Both are
fine tacklers, and splendid runners. and
once in their hands the ball goes ahead
for many yardsI In defensive play both
are strong. Frye is also a promising
man for position at end.
Behind the line Captain Kennedy at
is eaSIlV the best in that
position that Kansas has ever had.
Showing splendid judgment and keep
lag his head, he always has his eye on
the BAN and is generally the first man
down on a point. In addition he is a
good tacker and runner.
The halves outside Of Hess are poor,
all being light and rather slow. Hess
was sub on last years team and is
far ahead of any candidate for the pO-
sitiOn. PrOman and Teas are the other
candidates of prominence and under
the training of Coach Woodruff they
should both develop into good football
men.
Testers suit and position have fallen
to Speak, last years sub. He is a
ten-second man and is easily the most
brilliant man in the team, at his work
in the game with the Medics showed.
Though light and at times inclined to
lose his head, he has way of rounding
The ends that is truly marvellous.
OF the other men, Mckay at quarter.
klock at guard, Sherman at centre, and
Greenleaf at half are doing promising
work.
The weight of the probable Varsity
team is follows:
Walker, center, 167 pounds.
Foster, guard, POS.
MOsse, guard, 210.
Avery. tackle, 10. i.
BlccEberger, tackle, 10. .i-li.

Hess, half, $50 -is2.
PrOman, half $50.
Speak, full. 145.

Those who believe chronic diarrhoea
to be incurable should reed what Mr.
p. E. Grsham, of Gaars Mills, La. has
to say on the subject, viz: 4 have
been a sufferer from chronic diarrhoea
ever since the war and have tried all
kinds of medicines for it. At last
found q remedy that effected a cure
and that was Chamberlain's Collie, ,Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy This
medicine can always be depended upon
for collie, cholera morbus, dysentary
