Junction City, Kan, Oct. 15.-Rumor has

The trials of these noted convicts will

secret practice of the University OF Kan
sas football SQUAD on McCoolx field
Tuesday afternoon. and the gates will
be closed again this afternoon Coach
Curtis is getting his men in form to
pluck Drake next Saturday. and he is
putting forth every effort to win the
game. A defeat on that day would look
rather bad. as Lawrence will have many
visitors. There is much faith in Curtis
and his men, however, and there will be
plenty of hackers for the Iayhawkers
on that day. Last week Coach Curtis
took his squad out on McCook field for
two nights of secret practice and on
Saturday played the best game that has
been put up since the days of Yost.
The men all got into the game AMI
stayed in until the end. There was no
lcafing or stacking UP. If the Kansas
