"POTSY" ISSUES CALL FOR SPRING FOOTBALL
Men Coming Out Now Stand Chance of Varsity in Fall
NUMBER 76.
Squads to Play Three Times a Week and With Different Signals and Plays
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1922
Coach George "Potys" Clark has issued a call for men to appear for spring football practice. All able bodied men who have any desire to play football are to report Saturday morning at 10 o'clock in the Gymnasium, Coach Clark announced Thursday afternoon.
Potsy declared that now was the time to come out if any man expected to make the varsity next fall. The training this spring is to be more intensive than ever before and the 1922 varsity squad will practically be picked this spring. The fact that the varsity team will be in October 7 will make it imperative that the varsity team be in condition at the very opening of school.
It is expected that a squad of 156 men will report at the meeting tomorrow morning. Previous football training is not demanded for eligibility. The men will be divided into two squads. The first will be composed of those of accepted variability ability. The other is elementary, and as the men develop they will be promoted to the first squad. To get this promotion the training must come out this spring as almost after the beginning of school in the fall the squad will be cut to twenty-six men.
Each section will practice three times a week, two of these workouts being different plays, each squand having different plays and signals. The third plays to be used by the variety next fall will be used by the first sound.
"Pete" Jones, captain of the toma lest fall, Gordon Saunders, Pete Reedy, and Seventi Higgins, captain elect, will be on the regular coach, but the men will man up in structuring the second squad in the eleventh football.
While on the coast Coach Clark witnessed the Washington and Jefferson-California game. Potys declared that the W and J men outplayed the California men in the important kicking. He was of the opinion that either Nebraska or Notre Dame could have defeated the California team. The Kansas mentor also explained that on the play in which W and J scored their touchdown that and J played was offside and that it could be plainly seen from the stands.
Desires to Buy Entire Navy to Scrap It
FORD TO BUY FRENCH NAVY?
Washington, D. C., Jan. 13—Henry Ford here today announced he is ready to buy and scrap the entire French navy.
Ford received a cablegraph some days ago from Paris, signed "Laborieux" asking if Ford would buy for scrapping purposes a number of presumably obsolete French cruisers and battle ships.
"I cabled back immediately," sait Ford, "stating that the only proposition of that type I cared to consider from France would be one for the purpose of junking the entire French navy."
"I am not interested in parts of navies. I want to scrap them all,idence would make money and be in a better position in the world if she sold me her entire fleet. I never received a reply."
The reduction will be a small one
Power Plant Coming Good.
The cement has been poured for the main roof of the new power house and workmen are beginning on the second roof. The cornice is now being prepared. The building is of pressed brick and stone and will be one of the most attractive on the campus when it is completed. The structure will cost $80,000, which does not include the interior equipment.
Dian P. F. Walker will go to Fort Scott Monday to speak at the annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce at that place.

Raise Figs and Oranges on West Gulf Coas
Robust Town, Jan. 13. (United Press)—Fig. and orange farming may become one of the biggest industries in this section of the West Gulf Coast countries, according to plans of leading farmers of this section.
Washington, Jan. 13- The foreign trade of the United States fell off 1921 compared with the previous year the Department of Commerce an-
nalyzed that 1921 was about seven billion compared with $13,000,000 for 1920.
The orange and other citrus fruit growing industry in this district is in an experimental stage, but a number of advanced cultivars can enhance abundant yields of excellent quality.
Local interests are planning to plant 5,000 fir trees in this immediate velocity as soon as proper irrigation can be arranged. Individual farmers will be offered for extensive additions to their citrus orchards, by planting this spring.

CITY BLOCKS SINK IN PENN. MINE CAVITIES
Streets Sinks Before Eyes of Scranton Residents, Giving Appearance of Quake
UNKNOWN NUMBER KILLED
Mining Company Refuses to Give Information Regarding Estimate of Dead
Saraton, Pennsylvania, Jan. 13. — The most disastrous mine cave-in the history of this city occurred today when three city blocks on Tettition Avenue subsided. The loss of life is conjectural, but miners emerging from the underground workings declare they know of four dead and three injured.
Everything in the area extending from 2200 to 2500 blocks of Tettifton Avenue is more or less affected.
Startled by the noise people in the neighborhood poured into the streets. Postholes yawned in yards and steam and gases of the mine, as they poured through surface cracks, gave the scene the aspect of a volcanic eruption. Miners, pale beneath the black grime which coated their faces climbed to the surface with reports that many men must have been buried between ten and fifty were still in the mines under the affected area.
Mayor Durkan, city officials, and policemen, were quickly on the scene. After a half hour, further tremblings in the ground moved perceptibly under foot. Two hundred children from public school number seven who came to the cave area during the recess period hurried to the street opened before their eyes.
In the workings of the Glen Alden coal company over which the cave-inocured tons of free material dropped into narrow gangways and blocked chambers in which were miners and laborers.
The Glen Alden Co. refused information regarding casualties as rescue work began.
WOMEN BEHIND THE TIMES
Statistics Show Smoking is Decreasing Among Men
"Women are behind the times," said Dr. James Naismith, of the department of Physical Education. Just at the time when men are beginning to give up smoking or to be of the fact that they do not smoke, women are taken to smoking quietly and are opening smoking houses in the cities.
Questionnaires given to freshmen have brought forth the fact that the number of smokers is decreasing. The last statistics are of the men entering the University in 1919-20. Out of 130, 120 these 115 smoked cigarettes, 8 had quit at the time of the questionnaire and twenty-nine smoked less than one a day. Cigars showed the next largest number of users, then the pipe, while only eight of the number chewed. Out of the 129 smokers, sixteen, five, ten, eighteen, nineteen and twenty. Only one began at the age of twenty-one and two at twenty-two. Six years was the youngest at which anyone had begun. The age for the largest number of beginners was eighteen. One non-user stated in the questionnaire that he never will use it. "Another said 'Do not use tobacco and am proud of it.'"

Play Gave Good Picture of American Home
MANY SEE MISS LULU BETT
Further information may be obtained from the Secretary of Smith College, Hail 8A, Northhampton, Massachusetts.
The anticipation of marked developments arised by the action in the first act, however, is not satisfied by the two succeeding acts of the play. Emma Bunting as LaLu Bett compels sympathy in the opening scenes, but she fails to realise "when into her own" is left suspended when the play ends.
"Miss Lula Bett," Zona Gale's play for American home life, played to a packed house at the Bowersock Theatre Thursday night. The play, especially in the first act, gave an excellent portrayal of some of the more drab realities of life as it is in an american context with particular effectiveness at times, the smallness of character in members of such a household.
Mother Bett, with her drol, understanding remarks and retorts, was one of the best characters in the story and she delighted the audience by her remarkable similarity to a type that one sees in real life. It was a story of weak people. The satirical and other-in-law was well interrupted.
For humor and pathos, Mother Bett was the best character in the play, but in reality she is used by the author to relieve the trucally commonplace existence of the heroine. Considering the author's serious purpose, a play unexceptional for entertainment by novel plot is raised to one of unusual merit for the valuable lesson that it teaches.

PLAN ENGINEER-LAW DEBATE
Four subjects are tentatively being considered in choosing a question for the Engineer-Law Debate to be held on Tuesday. The date has not been definitely decided.
Four Subjects of International Importance Being Considered
These subjects, which are before the committee for the debate from the schools of Law and Engineering, are as follows: on the question of the Unicameral system contra the Bicameral in government; on the Philippine law; on the calculation of the war debt; and on the Bonus Bill question.
The fact that nearly every possible question has international complications makes the selection of a subject difficult. David Sheffrey, chairman of the committee from the School of Law, explained that such a question as Disarmament would compel inordinate research work. He said that an international aspect of a subject aided a great amount of technology.
Trials for the choice of members of the teams will be held in the first part of February, which will resolve upon data for the debate will be compiled.
Motion Picture Showing Copper Mines to be Run
