Football outlook at K. q.

Lawrence. Kas-. Sept 1.-THE Kan
sas university football team did some
preliminary practice last week, but their
real practice and training begins today.
While the outlook can not be considered
fiatterlng, it is the opinion of those who
know that Kansas university will be
well represented on the gridiron. again
this season. Coach L. w Boynton
played tackle with Cornell last year. He
won the hammer throwing event at
Franklin field, Philadelphia, this spring.
and is well known in the eastern athletic
circles Kansas university has no doubt
got a good coach. But four old players
are back Captain Wilcox and Tucker,
last years halfback, will likely play
tackles Meehan will be back at center,
and Jenkinson, who was a promising sub
last season. will be tried at halfback.
This leaves full back, one half back,
quarter back, ends and guards to be de-
veloped. The candidates for guards are
light, and some difficulty may be found
in getting a strong line. Coach Boynton
has introduced a device for training in
tackling which proved very beneficial.
The location of the training table has
not as yet been decided. but Manager
Davis hopes to have it at the New Ed
ridge house.

decorations were beautiful. Surrounding tne
pulpit were masses Of flowers and potted plants.

with excellent effect. The sermons preached by
Rev. Dr Spencer were in harmony with the day.
In the Presbyterian church an excellent pro.
gramme OF music was rendered by the choir. At

joyable features Appropriate sermons were dc.
livered at both services by the pastor, Rev. b.
