Manhattan, Kan, Sept. 27.-
Strength was added to the football
team of the Kansas Agricultural col
lege Friday, when Lester Howenstine.
star punter and drop kicker of the
team in 1911, enrolled in the college
as a student and appeared with the
football squad for practice.
Howenstine was not in school last
year, the brunt of last seasons kick
ing falling upon Prather and Pollom.
Howenstihe's toe won the game from
Washburn in 1911 and his kicking
that averaged more than As yards.
Prather is not with the team this
year, and it is believed Howenstine's
return will strengthen the backfield
materially.
The Agricultural college will open
the season here October 4, with South
western college of Winfield.

Minneapolis, Sept. 27.-With a clear

confident of success. The fact that
Coach H. L. Williams of Minnesota

lay, and the failure of the eligibility
committee so far to pass on the case
# Mattern, the fast back of the local
cam, has caused considerable specu-
alton among the students and football
