There will be plenty of soft drinks available at the Vishburn game Saturday, Mr. Fred S. Montgomery, representing the Y.M.C.A., announced yesterday.

this week and the two games under his belt have done him a world of good.
Then the Ichabads have their "Ike" Brady, a Negro star and one of the finest backs in the "Valley" Brady, a senior, is the chief aling-hot for the Topka aerial works, but he is given some fine assistance by "Kayo" Emmot, a 150 pound lad who has won the starting quarterback assignment as a sophomore.
Both outfits have injured men on their rosters, but the coaches have replacements that will hardly weaken the line-ups.
Injuries to Both Teams
Probably the most keenly felt loss will be that of Wally "Galloping Gus" Schroeder of Washburn. He has been one of the Ichabods most potent ball carriers so far this year, but an infected foot and pulled ankle tendon are combining to keep the stiles on.

With Ferrell Anderson out of his right guard position the Kansas line cannot be at its best, but Quido Massere has been doing well this week in crashing through the freshman line. Anderson was pretty apst last night as the squad had its last stiff work-out before Saturday, but the coaches want to let his injured ankle get in first class shape for the Oklahoma embrogio the following week.
Frank Bakky is the other injured Kansan who will not see service against the Capital club. The sophomore halfback injured his shoulder the same time Masoner did and will not even be in uniform for the game.

burn has turned in a victory over

Washburn Has Weight Edge
The boys from Topka started the season with a bang by downing Baker 34 to 0, and when they whipped Emporia State 19 to 6 last week this Saturday's game began taking on the characteristics of a "natural." It's one of the best Washburn teams in recent years, and Couture Holm has been doing hard for the tiff.
Washburn has considerable weight advantage in the line, but K.U. has the edge in the backfield. The Ickhams forward wall averages 198 lbs for the beams, but Jace's ball carries a 175 to 167 pound mound.
Miller will be the only Kansas-

Beauty vs. Brown;
"Puff" Onslaught
Mustijes Jahawks
Our variity football team ma-plan to "rassel" with the Iachabod tomorrow but when a dozen short-clad co-eds faced them in a "scrim-image", yesterday, the Jayhawkers failed to score.
Co-operation was lacking on neither side when Dick LaBan, c39, editor of the Sour Owl, asked the participants to stage a few plays for the benefit of a nearby magazine photographer.
One of the most interesting pictures shows three University huskies diving after a "fair catch"—Phyllis Weatherill. The two teams will meet in another battle this afternoon.
"Yes, the girls were there in short," affirmed LaBan when asked to comment, "and believe me, some of those shorts were short."
'Railroading'
Rules Election
Phi Chi—Phi Beta Pi
Coalition; Candidates
Take Medic Offices
Federal railroading and big time electoral organization ran riot in the School of Medicine elections yesterday. One party, with a fraternity majority, ran away with the contest which was shrewdly planned and defyed executed. So well did they do their work that the opposition hardly realized that an election was on until it was all gone.
The Phi Beta Pi-Phi Chi coalition succeeded in rushing all three of its candidates into office. The independent students and Nu Sigma Nu candidates had little chance to do any campaigning because of the incumbent position gave no advance notice of its intention to hold the election.
There are no rules set for the School of Medicine voting, hence a party with a good majority can do things as they wish. Yesterday they announced that nominations were in order for the offices of president, vice-president and secretary-treasurer. The coalition presented their candidates to the Indudates. The Nig Sige and Independents managed to rush three candidates into the nominations before they were closed.
The election itself was smooth and entirely legal. Jack Graves defended Fred McCoy for the presidency; Bill Johnson won over Bill Miller for vice-president and Dean Brooks nodded out Bob Riederer for the secretary-treasurer job. The currencies were approximately 50-35.
When the election was all over, the Nu Sigs and Independents began to set up a cry for better organization and a definite set of election rules. They complained that the election was run by a group of sephomores, some of whom are not even in the school. The Impendents have not had a major officer for several years and resent the Phi Beta Pi-Phi Chi domination. The Nu Sigs, and the Independent.
The Nu Sigs and the Independents are planning to present an electoral plan by which elections will future can be fairly conducted.
Metallurgical Engineering Added to Curriculum
How Do They Look, Jayhawkers?
A quartet of Wabashbunks backs which functions behind 1 the Ichabods' forward wall of "200 pounders" is shown above. Reading from left to right are: 'Ke' Brady, senior fullback who has been shifted to the tailback position for the Kansas game; Wally Schreeder, sophomore whiz who is out with injuries; Jim cables, blocking halfback, and "Kave" Emptm, the 150 pound quarterback who runs, kicks, and passes,
Metallurgical engineering, formerly an option in chemical engineering, is now being offered by the department of mining and metallurgy. New laboratories and equipment have been provided in Haworth and the University, furthermore the curriculum in this rapidly expanding field of engineering.
Metallurgy deals with the production of metals and their adaptation to the uses of mankind. In past years the department of metallurgy has become active in plating practically all of its graduates in gainful employment.
