NUMBER
Under the strictest regulations in the history of University rushing, Hill fraternities yesterday opened fire in the annual battle of the Greeks with a near record number of "targets" at which to shoot.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1938
Because of the efforts of the Men's Pan-hellenic council to eliminate unethical features from what in the past has been the rush week "racket", the fifteen social fraternities will compete for the cream of a crop of more than 325 rushees on a strictly up-and-up basis.

Camera Can't Comb
Curls, Press Pants
Or Knot Neckties
"How to keep from looking like a convict" is the theme of several suggestions by Orin C. Bingham, University photographer, who has completed preparations to make pictures of students when they start through the registration lines in Frank Strong hall today.
A camera is a wonderful thing but it can't comb your hair and magically adorn you with coat and tie or brush your locks and provide a neatly-pressed sports outfit. In other words, the finished product depends largely upon the appearance of the subject when he or she registers.
The cameraman suggests that--students be shaven, have their hair combed, wear a tie, wear a coat and discard chewing gum. If you commily

No attempt has been made by the coaches as yet to name a starting lineup.

Texas U.
Opens Grid
Season Here
The coaches and the players are giving-little heed to this however. Right now the job is to get in the best possible shape for the Texas opener, and to let the other games are of themselves as they come along.
Wet Weather Prohibits
Jayhawkers From Practice Field
Fickle Kansas weather threw a wet blanket on Jayhawker aspirations for an impressive showing in the opening game against the Texas University Longhorns here Sept. 24. Unpredictable, hard-driving showers for the last four weeks were with the plans of the coaching staff as the important intersectional battle loomed closer and closer.
The Texas eleven was scheduler, to start practice nearly a week earlier than Kansas and this advantage has been increased by the downpours that have made the practice field a veritable quagmire at times and have interfered greatly with the scheduled practice sessions.
All of which does not sound well for the changes of the Jayhawkers against their southern opponents, and the Kansas cause was further dampened Monday when Charlie Warren, regular center last year, announced that he would attend Washburn this semester. This leaves 16 lettermen who are now working out among the squad of 50.
Twenty veterans had been counted on last spring but, in addition to Warren, Herb Gearthark, tackle. J. D. Richardson, halfback, and Jack Hall, center, have failed to return for some reason or another.
One other man was lost to the squad yesterday when LaFawn Jake, sophomore guard candidate from Tonganoxie received a dislocated shoulder. He will be kept out of practice for several days.
Practice sessions have been going ahead with stiff workouts for the shud when weather conditions have permitted. Some Kansas followers point out that while Kansas may be in poor condition for the Texas game, still the team will have the jump on the ball and provide a played the week following the Longhorn fray. Notre Dame was later in calling practice than was Kansas and while they have a large squad of their unusual good material, still the Irish have only two regulars returning. This means that Coach Elmer Layden has of necessity put a team on the field that has not been tested under fire, and the Jayhawks with a game to give them experience on the ground for new material, should chance a stand of making a better showing against Notre Dame than against Texas.
190 and they are compact, well built men who have shown that they know how to play the game of football.
At the same time that the men are lighter than last year they are also faster. Many of the backfield men are also members of the Jayhawk track team and all of them know how to scamper.

now to scamper.
The Texas, on the other hand, seem to pack the weight. Informative and southern school indicates that when the Longhorns take the field against Kansas they will have a forward wall on the gridiron that will average around 205 pounds. The Longhorn backfield will average about 182 pounds to the man and will be composed almost entirely of veterans. Of most interest to fans in this section should be Beefus Bryan, the best ball carrier on the team. Last spring Bryan set a new pole vault record at the Kansas Relays of 13 feet 11½ inches.
The one sophomore in the starting backfield may be Fred Flato, 220 pound blocking back, who tripped over the scholastic hurdle at Northwestern and after his freshman year there returned to Texas.
Wallace Lawson, senior fullback, is counted on to take the place of Hugh Wolfe, graduated star. Lawson played brilliantly in spring practice and should more than fill the bill.
In the matter of veterans Kansas and Texas will be rather evenly matched, with possibly an edge to the Jawhayks. Kansas will have a lead from the 1937 team and Texas will have veterans at most of the eleven positions.
