IrUERFRATERNINY MEET MAREH 4 QUESTION A3 TO FORM OF MEET ON CHARTER DAY. Faculty Coach? Mattel Still Receiving Attention of Committee Report May Be Presented Next Week. The dates for the two annual in door athletic meets of the unlverBity have been definitely set, according to an announcement yesterday made by Dr. Clapp of the department of physical training, ('barter day moot will come on the date customarily sei, February 15, while the lnterfraternlty meet, which Is changed from a Febru ary date, as. has been the custom in past yearB, will be staged on March 4. The Charter day meet will be quite different this year from thoBe which have been in vogue during recent years. It is not to be a "barb-frat" event. The lnterfraternlty athlotlc board have decreed thut an athletic contest between university organiza tions and' "barbs" will not be a feature of the university anniversary: It is -malntainedi-.tbAt inoro--or loss sotu- tlonal feeling arose consequent to the "bnrb-frat" meet last year, resulting In a contest th'al was not or the true university type and spirit. The Form of Meet. What the nature of the Charter day meet this year will be has not been definitely determined; although one Of the following propositions, submit ted to the committee, will probably be udopted: First, it should be an event open to all students; an event to which all entrance qualifications are unnecessary, except the general university requisites. Second, It should be operated on the plan pro posed at the time the "barbfrnt" meet was installed, namely, nn Intor class athletic contest. At tho present time the latter plan Is much in the minority,- with the fact that the for mer plan will probably be recommend ed to and endorsed by the board. This adoption, however, does not In fer that the regular Interclass ath letic meet .which will be an Incident In the athletic happenings of 1910-11. Such is not the case. Whatever the action of tho board, the Interclass meet will probably be held, and if, as is conjectured, the "open" plnn is adopted for Charter day, there will be three university Indoor athletic meets this year. The plan of having three meets was proposed to the ln terfraternlty board last year "and" re ceived favorable consideration, so HOW KANSAS BEAT IN 1899 BY 1899 BY SCORE OF 39 TO The recent disclosures at Michi gan call to the minds of old foot ball men the days of Coach Yost at Kansas. Yost coached 'the Kansas team-In lSDIti-and-ho -was hired belthiuiiiglL-KQin tat iff m v m m n t:eTh cause he had the reputation of turn lng out winning teams ugalnst all kinds or oddB. Soon after YoBt ar rived In Uiwrenee to take up the . work of the season, ten well-built strangers came Into the camp and stated their intentions to try for the team. In those days Kansas' team was pretty Btrong, and some of the strangers laughed becauBe they saw that they had no chance to mnke the team and collect the money that liiid been promised them lr they mude good. That year the merchants of Lawrence had ralBed a slush rund for the purpoBe or llnnnclng a winning tenm, as by the use of a liberal amount of money victorious aggregations had been turned out. Yost was said to have paid evry man on the team in '90 that ox i:reBHed a desire to huvo some cash, -wtnd-nioBJcfohom-ivere.nnt. HloW-lu-expreBBlng their desire to have a little spending money. Yost kept the fact that the men, "were paid well under cover, and the fnculty did not suspect that money played a star part in giving the school u winning team. One of the men that Yost Import ed was a star of the season. He played under the name of "Krebs" and to this day It is not known just who this star was. He was, however, 'imported from I he east, but at the same time the faculty thought he was one of the huskies from one of the tall grass states The old heads never tired, telling how Yost roped in Dr. James Nal smith. Tho doctor has always been the, purest man in athletics at the unlverBity, and ono day ho strolled ou.t to see YoBt put his men doctor was alwuyB on the watch for any likely Tootbal! men, and his eagle eye soon spied the east erner, KrobB. Tho doctor went over and asked the big fellow why he did not get out for the team Krebs acknowledged that lio would like to mix in the sport, but that he had never pluyed. The doctor got Krebs a suit, and he went out for practice, and appeared ill poor rorm. He was very awkwurd, and did not get Into the spirit of the game. "Doc" thought that his find was a fizzle and pronounced him a "dub." Hut n little later In tho sea son wns dumbrounded when Yost announced that KrebB would mako a trip with the team for the Ne braska game. Yost announced that he might have to use Krebs, and his surmise was correct. KrebB played a great -gamc-agalnst-the-Gornhuskcrsr-and without him Kansns would have been wiped off the map, as Nebras ka had u powerful team. But Krebs saved the day, as ho wus a great fullback, and was a splendid lineman, and lila performance gave Kansas a victory by the score of 36 to 10, the closest score of the season for Kansas. ' When Yost left Kansas many of the men went with him, and In 1800 the Kansas team was a Jqke. There were vqry few men who could or would collect fqotball players'" with, such- facility as Yost in the good old days when he coached In the west. tranceB for tills event, bo me of which are strictly second class.
