Bright Record of the X. u. Foot
ball Eleven This Year.
Only Big Team in the Country
With Clean 1905 Schedule.
KENNEDY'S MEN FAST
OtherAggregations DidNot Lose
But Fought Tied Battles.
Lawrence Sees Trouble Ahead
Arranging 1909 Schedule.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 30.-Has it
occurred to you that Coach Kennedy's
never defeated football team of 1908
is possibly the only, big team in the
country to win every game on its
schedule? 1t is true that Chicago,
Pennsylvania and Harvard did not
lose a game during the season just
closed, but Chicago was tied by Cor
nell, the Carlisle Indians tied Pennsyl-
vania and the Navy tied Harvard.
The followers of K. U do not place
the team in class with Chicago, but
at that a game between those two
teams would hardly see the Jay
hawkers disgraced.
The outlook for a strong team next
season is very promising and 1t would
surely help Kansas in the football
world could a game be played with
one of the big northern teams, either
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan or
Chicago, although it is doubtful if
there is room for such a contest on
the Kansas schedule, should one of
those teams consent to give the Jay
hawkers a date. Nebraska and. Iowa
will come here next fall While the
Missouri game will again take place
at Kansas City, Then there is Okla
homai Washburn ana the Aggies to
play which can hardly be called prac-
tice games. Drake and Ames, always
represented on the gridiron with fine
teams, also want to meet K. U. AS
it will be impossible to play them all,
a list of games for 1909 will be hard
to arrange without endangering the
success of the team. Kennedy and
Lansdon have much before them in
preparing a satisfactory schedule for
next fall.
Captain Crowe1l. Rice and Reed will
be missed, having played four years,
but there are four or five members of
this years freshman. team who are
sure to make good, and this gives
promise of another good team next
year. Carlson, the popular center is
likely to be chosen captain OF the
Jayhawkers for 1909.

this city Saturday for the Dwight F.

tennis cup was won by the Australian
team, composed of Norman Brookes

BealS G.. Wright. The weather was

high throughout the play. The court
was in fine order and the contestants
gave a magnificent display of skill
during the first set, which was won by
Australia, ga. Brookes made no mis-
takes and his service was magnificent.
The second set went also to the Aus
tralians. This put the Americans on
their mettle and they played hard in
the third and won it, rs. The Aus
tralian team showed weakness over
head. Alexander made wonderful re-
turns and Wright's lobs were perfect
Both Americans served brilliantly. In
the fourth set the Australians were
outplayed in every department and the
Americans won, 6-1. The home team
was visibly tired and Brookes failed in
his overhead work
It was now two sets all and when
play was called for the final set the
interest was intense. The Australians
beat their opponents ga, winning the
match. When the result was seen the
applause continued for ten minutes
without interruption. The American
players put up a splendid game, and
they became very popular because of
their marked sportsmanship.
Second Defeat for Americans.
Melbourne Nov. 30.-The Austria
liam players today won the Davis cup,
finally defeating Messrs. Wright and
Alexander, the American contestants.

HIGH WATER AT GALENA.
Heavy Rains Cause Several Southeast
Kansas Streams to Overflow.

Galina. Kan, Nov. 3O.-swollen by
heavy. incessant rains of SO hours,
streams in the vicinity of GaIena have
broken their banks, overlooking the low
lands and causing destruction of pro-
perty. Spring river is on a rampage
and at Badger much damage to mines
is feared. A force of so or so men has
been employed building bikes along the
river bank to prevent the mines being
flooded by the overflow. The river has
risen about eight feet and is still rising
at the rate of 11s inches per hour. With
the completion of the bikes near the
S. H. & S. and Riverside it is not be-
lieved the stream can swell sufficiently
to overflow and cause the mines to be
shut down, unless additional heavy
rains are experienced.
Reports received here state that the
Neosho river is out of it's banks in
several places in southeastern Kansas,
overlooking the low lands and causing
much destruction to farms.
Railroad traffic from Oklahoma is de-
moralized, trains running as much as
six hours behind schedule.
