K. C. MEDICS.
One of the Strong Western Foot
ball Teams.
They Resent the Charge of Pro-
fessiOnalism.
WHAT is CLAIMED.
That All Are Bonafide Stu
dents.
Strong Showing Is Made This
Season.

The University Medical college foot
ball eleven of Kansas City has gained
reputation in the west by its repeated
good showing against the big state uni
versities of this section and it has been
rated with the big teams of the west.
The Medics, as they are called, have
been fortunate in the past in getting to-
gether a strong team. For the most part
the men have been a class of players
who have received much experience in
the state and departmental school foot
ball teams and then settled down to
study for a. profession.
While claims of professionalism have
been raised against the MedcS by the
managements of the three big western
universities and they have been barred
from games with these teams this year,
the charges are denied by the team and
management All of the big state uni
versities and many of the smaller
schools which maintain teams have
training table where the men are fed.
This seems to be the demand of these
schools. The Medics do not have a train
ing table but as reward for their
ability on the gridiron it has been the
custom of the trustees of the college to
give the players who make up the first
team free tuition. Last year every stu
dent of the team was a student and ev-
cry one except one got in his so per cent
a regularly matriculated student and
will be to close of the season Manager
Shively has had almost endless numbers
of applications from men who wanted to
play on the team, but all have been re-
fused unless the man consented to enter
school to study medicine
This year has been a rather hard one
on the Medics. To begin with their hav
ing been barred from games with the big
teams made it difficult to get COM
plete schedule. Then early in the sea-
son the trustees voted to quit football.
This caused a howl from the Kansas
City patrons and after two weeks the
action was reScinded. The management
has secured a fairly good schedule in
cluding games to be played yet as fol-
lows: Washington university at St.
Louis, October 10: Doane college at
Crete, Neb.; Lincoln Medics at Lincoln
and Creighton university at Omaha,

Monday DR.. and Mrs. c. F. Menninger
and Miss Anna NJ. Parry Bundy enter
tained about seventy-five of their
friends at an art and music evening

was the first of a series that will be
given during the season.
The same evening Mrs George w.

guests dropped in informally and music

lures of the evenings entertainment.
Another affair Monday evening was

The largest affair of Tuesday was the

on now to fill up the dates to Thanks
giving.
The Medics claim to be more strictly
amateur than any of the three big
universities that have barred them but
they have no recourse for throwing
down the bar placed over them. Next
season, however, it is proposed to place
the team strictly in line by adopting the
Chicago conference rules and establish
ing a training table The Medics will
then go after the big universities to play
them.
DR. Leon Lewis, the coach of u NJ.
C.'s team is a graduate of medicine as
well as football from that college. For
four years he played on the team re-
presenting that university and gained
an enviable reputation as a player. His
position was at half back. With his
graduation in the degree of M. d. last
spring ended his career as a player and
he was chosen as coach for the Medico
this fall on account of his knowledge
of the game and experience Last year
while playing with the Medics he
coached the Kansas City Dental team
that made good showing and this
was the extent of his work in this de-
partment of the game until he assumed
his duties in the similar position with
the MedicS this year He has had
many difficulties to contend with this
tice work and then the filling up of
many holes left from the players who
graduated last year. With the 1871
commencement exercises six of the best
regulars and one of the best substitutes
finished their medical course and re-
ceived diplomas. In addition to these
absentees this year Porter, Shelton and
Graves, three other reiiabl men of
last years bunch, did not return to the
gridiron; leaving hard vacancies to
fill But he has gone about his work IN
a hustling manner and now has a for
rnidable looking bunch. Shrant from
K u, Poorman from P. and s., of Chi
cago Solscheid, and others being able
successors of some of the old men.
A. Fisher, the captain of the Medics,
is one of the reliable men of the team.
He has an athletic appearance on the
field and besides hustling man in the
game a gentleman on and off the grid
iron, as was shown in the game with
Washburn. He began playing in '99
with Doane college of Crete, Nebraska,
and soon jumped into popular favor
with the student body and patrons
there. Last year he entered u. NJ. c.
and made the team without any
trouble. His position has always been
at left guard. His popularity among
the students and players last winter
was responsible for his selection to the
captancy. Captain Fisher weighs $50
pounds.
