YHAWKS MAY MEET ARMY FOOTBALL TEAM
Colorado and Illinois Also Offer Open Dates—To Decide Soon
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1921.
ALUMNI STRONG FOR PLAN
Two intersectional games, one with the Army for October 7 and the other with the University of Illinois for a date on or before October 14, have been offered - to the University of Kansas for the 1922 football season. The Illinois offer came from Robert Zapple, head coach at Illinois, and the Army date was offered in a telegram from Capt. M. B. Ridgeway, which stated that there was a widespread demand in that section for a game with the Kansas team.
Only Disadvantage is That Games Comes Too Early In Season
Everything definite has been decided concerning these offers as "Potty Clark, head football coach, is in Cincinnati to lead the game late this evening, Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics, wired both the Army and Illinois that their proposals would be considered the first of this type to be made available in which to decide on the offers.
The game with the Army team is without a doubt the best offer received. The game would be played at West Point and the publicity which the University of Kansas would receive is an added factor in deciding on the acceptance of the offer.
That the game is looked on with favor by the K. U. alumni is evidenced by the fact that telegrams from alumni all over the State were received at the athletic office this morning. "It's the greatest athletic event in the history of our school. Leave no stone unturned to schedule the game" telegraphed J. C. Nichols who had charge of the Memorial drive Kansas City. Ralph E. Stout, managing editor of the Kansas City Star for four years was chairman of the alumni publicity committee, both wired that they could not conceive of better publicity for the University.
Five Valley games have already been scheduled for the 1922 football season. They are: Drake at Des Moines, Oct. 14; Kansas Aggies at Manhattan, Oct. 28; Oklahoma at Atlanta, Oct. 30; Kentucky, November, Nov. 11; and Missouri at Columbia on Thanksgiving day. This leaves three dates open: October 7; October 21, and November 18. However, the October 7 date is very early in the season and it would be hard to condition for a big game on this date.
CARE FOR R. O. T. C. GUNS
Army Details Artillery Man to Take Charge of Pieces
An offer for a game with the Uni-
versity of Colorado on October 21
has also been received.
The howitzer and rifle are to be cleaned every week and kept in shapo so in actual warfare," said Major Burdick.
Private John A. Smith of the 1926th Coast Artillery, ninth corps has been detailed here by the government from Fort Scott, California. His duties are to take care of the 8-inch howitzer and 61-inch rifle system for the building. He also has charge of the army trucks and tractors.
It is also interesting to know that these pieces saw actual service in France, at Chateau-Thiery, Argonne Meuse and St. Mihiel offensives, and at the front lines used by the R. O. T. C. units for training purposes. Mr Burdick said.

Plenty of Rye, But
Its for Bread Only
Calgary, Alta., Dec. 5, United-
Press)—Canada's rye harvest this
year will be 12,000,000 bushels, represen-
tating an increase of 500 per cent
of the crop grown in 2006. The
increase is due to the government's en-
couragement of rye growing
When prohibition began sweeping the American continent some economists foresee smaller profits in rice production through curtailment of its importation. But these statistics are crages. But these statistician failed to reckon the increased and wide-scread use of rice in Europe. One-third of the European population lives on rice bread. It is the principal cereal crop of Germany, Germany, Austria and Russia.
With this situation in mind, the government opened a systematic campaign for *for* increased acreage.

"The department of athletics at the University does not任意安排 any contests between the high school teams. There was some demand f r a game between Marion and Kingman, but the matter of arranging the two games for the authorities of the two schools. To stimulate interest in post-season games, the department of athletics offered to pay the expenses of the two teams and to furnish a place to play, but other than that the University had no other nart in the arrangement of two equalities between clematis to the state championship." Doctor Allen said this morning.

Kids Have Gay Time In First Big Snow
It was a case of either "watching your step" yesterday or of coming into violent and unexpected contact with a sled-full of hilarious, shouting kids. The air was crisp and inciting; and the snow, well-packed, was slick enough to slide a ten-ton elephant.
Without warning, the "bob" and "fires" would shoot down a convenient hill flash by the cross streets, and gradually come to a bumpy stop. The only bad feature, according to an eddy-faced, puffing youngster, was that "th' darn sled has got to be pulled up 'th' hill'agam"
Nor did they always descend the tentle slopes of Mount Oregon right-side-up. Two minutes of casual observation would reward the watcher with a sight of flying bees, bobbing heads, and bodies curiously intermingled as the overtured, treacherous bee Hill on its back. Facially was this true on the low hill behind the Administration Building.
F-creeeth and Indians, Streets,
and the numrous ones on the
counties are favored as sliding places.

NEED $3,500,000,000

If Parley Fails, U. S. Should Spend $800,000,000 on Army and Navy, He says
IS LESS THAN THIS YEAR
Will Probably Face a Deficit o
$167,571,977; Result of
1923 Fiscal Operations
By Herbert W. Walker,
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington, D.C.
With respect to Harding, although the result of the arms conference is not yet certain, gave notice to world powers today that if a definite agreement is not reached on limitation of armament, be believed the United States should spend more than $800,000,000 on its military forces for the fiscal year commence June 30, 1923.
Submitting to Congress the first budget prepared by Budget Director Traves, Harding estimated that the nation's two arms of defense should expend $0.165,107 in the fiscal year 2013—more than three times the amount it received nationally ($250,000,000). The estimates, which were framed without regard for any limitation of armament that may result fro mthe conference, are about $65,000,000 less than is being expended this year. The President in this respect is following his policy of building an armed big et in its military and naval appropriations until all the powers definitely agree to do likewise.
The federal government during the year ending June 30, 1923, will cost the people of the United States ap- plication costs of billions of dollars, Harding estimated.
Although this amount is about three times the cost of the federal government before the war, the President pointed out that the estimated payments for the fiscal year of 1923 would be $ 6,032,285,962.30 less than the payments from the federal purse for 1921, during which year he assumed office. The 1923 expenditures, he said, would be $402, and for the present fiscal year of 1922
Harding submitted to Congress estimates of appropriations for the fiscal year of 1923; and estimated expenditures and receipts for the same period. Despite stringent economy, the government on the basis of essential expenditure will face a deficit of $167,574,977 due to the result of fiscal operations.
Total receipts of the government during 1923 were estimated at $3,338,182,750, while expenditures, actual cash paid out of the treasury were placed at $3,505,754,727. Appropriations asked for today total $3,801,113,655,53, but this includes $76,238,066 in postal appropriations, which will be paid from post revenue $76,238,066 to $8,224,875,555. The difference this amount and the actual cash expenditure will be made up by appropriations which continue from year to year.
This year, the budget report shows
the federal government will spend
$8,967,922,366, as compared with
$8,967,920,648,390, last year. Receipts
this year will be $8,943,453,603, leaving
a deficit to start the new fiscal
year. Revenue from receipts this
year last year of $6,924,132,960,
exceeded by expenditures of $6,924,127,611.
The President's message reveals that Dawes was able to reduce the *federal budget* $122,806,310.95 and amounts asked by the departments.

COLLEGE YELLS HOPE OF POETRY - LINDSAY
American Poet Praises "Rock Chalk" at University Convocation
READS SOME OF WRITINGS
"I Consider Jazz the Most Abominable Thing," the Author Said
Vachel Lindsay, one of the foremost of American poets and "apoorte of the gospel of beauty," addressed an all-University conventation this morning at 10 o'clock in Robinson Gymnasium.
Commenting on the "Rock Chalk" which was given for his special request, Mr. Lindsay said, "The college yellows of America are the nearest to American poetry that I ever have heard, and the Kansas book of Chalk" is still the world's best letters and poetry is in the vell ear and the chorus which delivers them. Mr. Lindsay's purpose was to read and interpret to the students of Kansas several of his poems. He first requested them to look over the new American anthologies of poetry for poems of modern writers. "All you can do is go find what a thing for you," he said, "It is only a question of your taking over what has been written for 'you'."
By request Mr. Lindsey read his poems "The Congo" and "The Santa Fe Trail." In speaking of the latter he said, in "the summer of 1912" I walked from Illinois to New York, where he held a service of gospel beauty. I carried with me all my rhymes, planning to trade them on my journey for a nights rest and food. I reached Kansas during the harvest and discovered my services in the field were of more interest to them, and would support me better than my rhymes, so I harvested." He then wrote, "The Harvesting," which he wrote as a result of his experiences, using Kansas harvest folios as a theme.
"I continued my journey westward," he said, "Walking along the Santa Fe trail to the oldest city in the United States, just as St. Francis and Gatanna Budda made their pilgrimages to spread their gospels. During this time I conceived the poem "A Rose for Linda" by Lindsay then read the poem which contains the famous lines "Kansas the land that restores us."
"I consider jazz the most abominable thing we have in America," said Mr. Lindsay previous to his reading of the African poem, "The Concoz." It hit on the other band nong spiritful and emotionally important contribution to our race. In this poem I portray three aspects; first the basic savagery of the negro; second his irrepressible high spirits; third the hope of his religion, as the force for the redemption of the race. It is this force in which white men place unrestrained hope within it the vision of the Apocalyptic will come to pass for the negro race."
"The Congo," a masterpiece of dramatic intensity was most effectively given by Mr. Lindsay as his closing number.
Preceding Mr. Lindays's address Elva MMcullen and Ray Gafney, who have the leading parts in "The Pirates of Penzance," the Gilbert and Severn which will be given at the Bowersock tonight, gave a dastn in costume.
Popular Cartoon People In Comedy at Bowersock
Another George McManus musical comedy, which comes direct from the Manhattan Opera House, New York, is "The Birth of a Pop Star," contributions of the popular cartoons, "Bring Up Father." This time the stage contributions of this comic is called, "Bringing Up Father in Wall Street," and performed at the Theatre Thursday night. December 8.
The comedy is in two acts and five scenes employing a large chorus. Jiggs, Mahoney, Maggie, Dinty Moore, and the rest of the Mahoney clan are brought to the fore in a series of funny adventures. "Bringing UP Father" was given at the Bowersock last year, and is expected that the new version will be as popular as the first showing.
Denn P. F. Walker of the School of Engineering has left for New York to attend a meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineering. He will probably be there for several days as there are important matters to come up before the Society at this meeting.
