ARE CAREFUL WITH ks"
Marks of Football Honor Dealt Out
Sparingly at Lawrence.

Lawrence, Kas., Dec. 1S.-The athletic
board of the University Of Kansas held
a session Wednesday at which George
o. Foster was reelected to the position
of general manager of athletics at the
university. This settles a question that
has caused some anxiety among those
interested in athletics at the University
of Kansas 1t was thought that the in
creasing duties in the registrars office
would make it necessary to elect a new
general manager.
The university football ks were
awarded to the following men who
played in the games this season: Pooler,
Jenkinson, Algie. Peters, Brumage,
Hicks, Alderman. Thornberry, Mosher,
Vincent, Nichol. Richardson, Etchen
and H Allen.
Fewer ks were awarded this year
than usual and several men who did
good, hard work and played in several
games failed to receive the mark of
honor, rather because it was desired to
keep the number down than because
they were not deserving. The board
feels that ks" should be given out
very sparingly, lest they become too
numerous.
The coach question was not discussed.
No more applications have been re-
ceived as yet and it is highly probable
that one of the present applicants will
get the place. Mr.. Foster insists that
Yost's visit had nothing to do with
Weeks candidacy

GREAT CHANGE IN SPIRIT.
John T. Brush Would Lease Manhat-
tan Field to American League.

New York, Dec. 1S.-During a recent con-
Versation John 7. Brush. owner of the
New York baseball club, remarked that he
had no particular objection to opening ne
gotiations with the American league for the
lease of Manhattan field if that orga MIA
ton was anxious to obtain control of the
property.
James A. Hart of Chicago said MI
Brush, has announced his Willingness to
lease his share of Manhattan field to she
American league and / am every bit as
agreeable as Mr.. Hart to the same propo-
sitiOn."
The statement naturally caused some
surprise as it had been generally un,se;-
stood that the National league held con-
troll of Manhattan field solely TO keep a
rival out of the city. The action of the
National league during the meeting of last
week is believed to have greatly changed
the sentiment that has existed hitherto in
the organization.
Mr. Brush also stated that he is in favor
of "A twelve club league. That, however, is
exactly in line with the stand he has taken.
for the last ten years.
He is in possession of some figures to
show the strength of his position, and in
sists that with two clubs in one city the
attendance, as rule, is less than with one
club in a city. That was borne out last
year and also in the year 1901.

TEAM LOST BIG MONEY.
Robson Said to Have Dropped $780,
900 in st. Louis.

st. Louis, Dec. 1S.-Frank De Haas
Robson, owner of the st. Louis club
of the National League, is out 100000. it
is said, as a result of his venture with
the baseball team here. The club has
not been a profitable one for the last
two years but the greater part of the
amount lost came during last season
when the American League club here
carried off the receipts. 1t is also sta
ted that Garry Hermann, president and
owner of the Cincinnati club of the Ma
tional League has offered his aid to
Robson.
w H. Hedges. owner of the American
League club here stated that Right
Fielder Jesse Burkett can leave the
team if he wants to. Burkett it is sta
ted, is dissatisfied and Hedges announc-
ed that he wants no disgruntled ones.
Burkett's promised salary, however, will
hold if he chooses to stay.

NO AGREEMENT REACHED.
Yale and Harvard Hold Another Con-
ference Without Settlement.

New Haven. Conn, Dec. 18.-Yale and
Harvard held another conference to try
to frame another long term athletic
agreement and a new set of athletic
eligibility rules. The delegates were in
session for three hours, and when they
adjourned twas announced that progress
had been made, but that nothing definite
had been done. For year Yale and
Harvard have held similar conferences,
but have not been able to agree on the
details of the eligibility rules they pro-
posed. There has never been any idea of
breaking the athletic relations between
the two universities and the delegates say
that they expect to put through the pro-
posed set of eligibility rules. The Har-
ward delegates were Professor Hollis,
James J. Storrow and A. B. Krumbhaar.
The Yale delegates were Walter Camp.
Professor Woolsey and Henry Sargent.
