K. U. HARD AT WORK.
Are Slightly Disfigured But
Full of Hope.

Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 27.-Coach Weeks
resumed practice Monday after Satur-
days defeat, and began what he VIII try
to make week of team work develop
ment. The men are not in good condi-
ton and lacked ginger Some of the
old men were not out. and few new
ones made their appearance. Cooke is
sick and unable to leave his room. He
was badly used up in general
Ise, who was retired near the end OF
the first half, is on the hospital list
with a sprained ankle that Will Keep
him out of practice for week or two
He will be missed in the Washburn
game if he does not recover by that
time Allen was on the field for short
time only, turning in early to get ms leg
dressed. Allen was badly used and has
several big scars on his face and body.
which are indicative of unnecessary
roughness. Allen opposed the terrible
WheeIock in a creditable way
Jay Mack Love was on the field for
the first time this season. He weighs
210 and is well proportioned and strong.
Love played good ball at full last year,
and was knocked out in the Wisconsin
game. Since then he has been troubled
more or less. Love has the making OF
great full, and does fine punting. Stern
berg, an old Wichita high school man,
was also out. He is not heavy, but
speedy, and is fast sprintef. Mccoy,
an old Oklahoma crack player, was on
the field, too. With these new men, the
old subs and those that have been com
ing out with the scrubs, Weeks muster
ed two pretty good ineups.
Freshman was on end on the first
eleven and Alderman at left tackle next
to him. Alderman is rounding into
good form for the game Saturday ana
will be in his place on the start. Donald
was in his place at guard and Michael
son at center. Drummer, Chappell and
Hicks held down the right half of the
line and Griggs was worked out at
quarter He showed up we'll and old
some promising work.
Pooler was at half. Woodford at full
in Captain Brummage's place, VINO Is
out of town, and Rice played lert nan.
This is a different line up from any that
Boss Weeks has sprung yet and his
switching Griggs and Pooler probably IS
significant of a change for the two men
in some of the game next Saturday II
it proves an expedient alteration II VIII
probably be tried again. Pooler is Sood
at advancing the ball and in view Oh
his past good work and Griggs' excel
lent playing at quarter many feel sure
that Weeks intends the change 10 De
more or less permanent.
There is some trouble over ofhclalS To-
the Nebraska game. AS fast as Kansas
wires the name of man the Cornnusk-
ers wire back that he is all right but
suggest a man they think better. Kan
Sas has suggested SWeely, the ola MICH
igan man, and Rodgers of LaEarpe,
Kan. Nebraska wants auckland of
Peoria, Ill. or Within of Kansas city.
The Jayhawkers won't agree to the Ne
braskan's favored officials and Nebraska
won't agree to the favored Kansas OH
Gals and things look as if there will be
more or less trouble in deciding on the
referee and umpire.
Nebraska made considerable troubie
for Haskell on this question and /.
will have to take the
same course. The Cornhuskers also
want Cornell for head lines man, while
Kansas would not tolerate him if he was
the last man to fill the position.
Everything now points to great
crowd Manager Plank and officials are
wondering how they will accommodate
the crowd at the great game. Saturday
the park was well filed. including al
good standing room. and there were only
about l 800 in attendance, while 5000 are
| expected for the Cornhusker game.
