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

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.

tate the record keeping and make tho
meet more Interesting, a preliminary
will be held, probably on the Satur
day previous to Charter day, to sift
out all second-class material.. Further
announcements concerning tfiiB will
be made later.
Concerning the selection of the all-year-round
coach for the university,
nothing definite can be announced. A
committee, composed of Professor
Wolfe, Dr. Clapp and S. V. Shonku
are communicating with some of the
best coaches of tho country, and an-
