- Aigles Must Win or Fall
To Collar; Jayhawks Drill
Hard Behind Secret Practice Curtain
Wildcats Primed For Fierce Battle Tomorrow
The victory starved Wildcats of Kansas State college, smarting under two conference defeats in as many starts, will roar into Memorial stadium Friday afternoon cooked and primed to the limit of average attendance, standing upset at the hands of the Kansas Jayhawks in Manhattan.
Reports from the Aggie camp leave no doubt that the Wildcats will enter the fray with blood in their eye plus a rock ribbing line and burly barks. Last year's 27-7 defeat still stands, and drills have been both long and hard this week in preparation for the Jayhawk tilt.
It is rumored that several dependable men may be missing from service in Friday's battle. The biggest and most important question mark is Elmer Hackney, the famed "One Man Gang" who has been nursing a badly wrenched knee since the Colorado game, three weeks ago. Whether he will see service or not will be answered Friday. Others reported to be on the ailing list are: Don Crumbaker, veteran end who is still bothered by an ankle injury early in the season; Evin McCarran, veteran end; John Baily, 205 pound guard; and Jim Brook, five blocking back who received a knee injury in last week's Nebraska game. The chances are that all but Hackney will play.
**Two Casualties**
Only two had casualties are noted in the Kansas camp. Herb Hartinson, 200 pound reserve guard who has been performing well all year, is

The Beta Theta Pi house took the worst beating when nearly 30 raiders dropped in on the "Silent Men" with rotten eggs. Beta acts worked pledges far into the night washing and scraping the ripe hen fruit from the walls and windows of the chapter house. The Beta's, a bit netted, cursed themselves for not having posted a freshman guard and promised retaliation when and if they discovered the identity of the maudraurs.
Soap was scribbled on windows at the Alpha Omicron Pi house. Garbage was scattered on the front stairs of the Chi Omega house, and gas flares taken from the highway illuminated the front lawn.
hacked the WAT at the Kappa Kapp Gamma house was barricaded with a tree, and when the girls stopped their cars in the drive, water was thrown on the engines.
Pi Beta Phi lost two porch swings was the theme song of scams who hailed the "Arrow Girls" all night.

Dr. and Mrs. Lindley are spending this year in travel abroad. Their itinerary included Europe until the present war developed; it was then necessary for them to rearrange their hotel accommodations in present they are touring the Orient.
Dr. E. H. Landley, former chancellor of the University, addressed a meeting of the American-Japan Society Sept. 29. at the Imperial hotel in Tokyo, complimenting the Japanese on their hospitality.
Speaking briefly, Doctor Lindley said, "I have been able to enjoy the kindness and courtesy of all of the Japanese people. I recall the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson who said, 'After all you can go into foreign countries, but you will find that they all scald the milk bottles and spank the bacias just as we do.' As far as the attacking forces of the children here, I don't know if they are spanked, but they all seem so much alike that it is a crime to think of any difference between us."
Upon returning to the University, Doctor Lindley will join the faculty and teach in the department of philosophy.

The demands, involving military and territorial concessions, were described as "completely unacceptable."
