ing White, the big ex-Washburn guard,
to play in the game with the Kirksville
Osteopaths last Saturday, and copy
of the resolutions of censure will be
sent to every college with which the
university has athletic relations The
committee appointed to draw up the
resolutions has not yet had time to
prepare them. but it is understood that

of the board feel that there was great
provocation and while all regret that
any of the rules We're broken and feel
that action should be taken which will
plainly give the football teams to under
stand that it was not with the faculty's
permission that White played, they do
not feel that they ought to be too severe
with the management for this trivial Of
Tense which is the first infringement K U.
has made Coach Outland and Man

the rain to the hotel after the game and
cleared up several points which reflected
upon the management Professor Dob
son was lvindicated in every way by the
managers and coach who were present
and Mr.. Foster gave him the following
signed statement.
This certifies that the Kansas man

words of praise for the cordial reception
accorded the team upon its arrival at
Kirksville, the hotel and its accommo-
datiens. the treatment at the hands of
the officials of the American School of
OsteOpathy, and for DR.. Dobson in the
settlement of the financial end of the
game. There We're some things con-
