iced frequently during the game that the
Kansas boys tried to knock him out of
the game. but he is made of good ma
terial. Every man on the team is under 20
years of age, but not one of them lacks
the nerve and endurance to make good
football players. All the team lacks is
practice.
All old football players play by what
might be called instinct-the game must
become second nature to player before
can develop it. Personally. / feel satisfied
with the showing our inexperienced team
has made with the old players of the KAN

The game yesterday was not a surprise

yesterday was no exception. The Tigers

Minister Dupuy de LONE Says the
Published Extracts From His Book
on Americans are Causing
Him EN- mbarrassment

Washington, March 12.-Senor Dupuy
de LONE, the Spanish minister, is sor-
ry he wrote that book entitled Around
the World, from Madrid to Madrid"
containing many uncomplinfentary al
lusiOns to Americans. The publication
of extracts from the book is most an
noying to the Spanish minister
In speaking of the matter he did not
deny the authorship of the book but
explained that it was written when he
was young and inexperienced and had
only a superficial knowledge of the
country and its people. He had been
at the time an attache of the Spanish
legation in Japan, and was returning
to Madrid by way of the United States
He was prompted to make his critic
isms largely because of the treatment
he received 1t the hands of the GUS
toms officials.
