K o. BRACINa UP.
Coach
Coach Boynton Making Several
Changes in the Team.


Lawrence, Kan, Oct. SIX. US de-
feat has been the occasion of a great
deal of undue criticism of Coach Boyn-
ton. OF course it comes hard for K. u.
to be taken down so easily. but no par
ticular person is to blame for it and the
only thing to do is to try to do better
next time, and that is certainly being
done. a clause of the presidents agree
ment which provides that no player
from another college shall play on any
intercollegiate team until he has been
matriculated at least n year was chang
ed at a meeting of the athletic associa-
ton yesterday afternoon. This clause
was intended to put q stop to players
enrolling and staying through the foot
ball season, but as neither Nebraska nor
Missouri paid any attention to the
clause it was decided to give Kansas
chance with the rest. Kansas could
have had Moore, owen, Gill and Tom
Smith had it not been for this clause.
Boynton has practically had to make
new team and because it was not com
pleted in time to win from Washburn he
is roasted.
Practice yesterday was fun of snap
and Nigor, and the men were shifted
around Tucker and Buzzie We're put at
half and Bottsford at quarter, and it ap-
peared to be a good change. Four or
five new men We're out. Shuler, a big
200 FOUNDER, was put in center for the
scrubs, and Quigley at full. Quigley hit
the line like a thunderbolt and showed
all kinds Of speed. He ran the length of
the field for touchdown and handled
himself like q veteran all the way
through The other men also showed
up Well and there may be some radical
changes in the Jayhawker lineup before
the next game Boynton seemed dis
posed to work the men harder than ever
before. The result was quite salts
factory. The defeat showed the team
that they must get to work, as nothing
else could have done and in this way
was really a benefit to them.
However, the Kansans can console
themselves with the fact that NJ s. L. is
weak, too, the Haskell Indians shutting
the Tigers out yesterday at Columbia.

MAORI DYNASTY EXPIRING.

TFrom the London Chronicle
The dynasty of Maori Kings is appar-
emily about to expire. Mahuta, the pres
ent holder of this shadowy sovereignty,
has been in friendly consultation with
the New Zealand premier. Mr. Seldom,
in reference to the native land laws bill
and the native local government bill,
and has intimidated his willingness to
accept the seat in the legislative council
or upper house of the colony which was
offered him some ine ago. His two pre-
decessors, Potatau and Tawhaio, were
offered the same distinction, and de-
clined it, preferring the isolated dignity
of nominal kingship. Potatau. the foun-
der of the dynasty, was the greatest
Maori warrior chief of his time, and un-
der him number of the Maori tribes
united in the vain hope of stemming the
advancing tide of British occupation.
His biography has been written in a
portIy volume by Sir John Gorst. who
was an eyewitness Of the king move
Tnent." as it was called in New Zealand.
Tawhaio, his son and successor, visited
England in 1884, was the lion of a Lon
don season, and had an interview with
the late Lord Derby, then secretary of
state for the colonies.

for Mrs. Corbett when she was arrang

According to Mrs. Corbett is was Abe

statement credited to Mrs. Corbett and

Further demands for funds were made

forceful refusal to pay. Then the suit
was brought.

VIM Coleman Escapes From Decatur

Oberlin, Oct. civilian Coleman, in
jail here for horse stealing, escaped from

OnerS to escape. Sunday the sheriff found
a file and two ta,ble-knives hidden under
the floor The knives had been hacked
against each other so as to produce a
saw. Evidently they had been used in
making a set of keys. Coleman took

Another Surprise Takes Place on the
Columbia Gridiron.

Columbia. No. Oct 9-The Missouri
Tigers met a staggering defeat on the
Columbia gridiron Monday. The HaSk-
ell Indians shut them out by score OF
II to 0, and had little trouble in doing
it. The Tigers were confident and their
absolute defeat was astounding to both
teams and spectators Haskell played a
swift, sure game. and put the ball over
the Missouri goal in two and a half min

touchdown and kicked the goal The
Missouri team moved like an ice wagon,
but when the ball was again in play
they made a stubborn stand and 1t took
the Indians the remainder of the hrSt
half to get the ball over again. Haskell
failed to kick the goal Just as time was
called.
In the second half Missouri made
grim hard stand and held the red men
down Davidson. Williams and Gentry
did grand work for the lost cause. and
no more rapid gains were made by the
Indians but they kept the ball We'll IN

They seemed better balanced than the
Tigers and in precision of movement
