Interclass Football Games Are to Start Saturday Afternoon
Juniors and Freshmen As Wel As Sophomores And Seniors Clash First
With the opening interclass football games only a few days distant, the coaches and players are working hard perfecting their pet plays. The juniors appeared to be strong in their play with the freshman team Saturday.
The following combination worked well together last week, according to Coach Stoster: Kenneth Bell, quarter; John Hobart, half; Willard Hilton, half; Marsh Haddock, full-back; Russel and Arnold, ends; Zoeller and Harms, tackles; Gregory and John Doe, guards, and said by John Doe. Conferencing with his fast hands badly backfield play probably would be used. Haddock, former Mohawk athletic club star, probably will do, the kieking.
The strength of the sophomore team will be tested when it meets the senior eleven on McCook Field next Saturday. Among the players trying for the sophomore team are Leley Caler, star twirler and southpaw freshman baseball player last spring; six-years' freshman pitcher from last year's freshman squad; Fred Hann, cross country man; Dud Brown, Rich House, Cooper, and Earlenbaugh.
Simon, who was on the Varaty reserve squad this year, will boost the hopes of another sophomore chameleon when he appears in uniform this week.
Would Allow Seniors In Pharmacy to Graduate
All Schools Will Try to Get Temp orary Exemptions For Graduates
Martin A. Rudd, acting chairman for the conference of schools of pharmacy at Richmond, Va., has written Dean L. E. Sayre of the School of Pharmacy at the University that concerted action is necessary on the part of all conference schools in order that men in their senior year of professional work may be given permission to finish the wear before called into service.
"The University of Kansas is a member of the organization of conference schools, and we wish to co-operate in every way with the other institutions." The suggestion of allowing students to wait until their diplomas are granted is entirely in accordance with the notice sent out by the War Department that every effort will be made by the government to use the student's special training."
Dean Sayre believes the government will permit pharmacy seniors, who may be called in the next draft, to finish their year's work that they may qualify well as pharmacists. A letter setting forth the man's standing will be given by Dean Sayre to each senior student called to the colors.
Thirty-three Freshmen
Report for Basketball
Teams
May Compete With Other Mis souri Valley Freshmen
Thirty-three freshmen were out for basketball practice last night, the largest number out any time this year. This was doubtless owing to the needs of freshmen games with other Missouri Valley freshmen teams.
The scrimmages were slow and rough because of slick floor. The first scrimmage was married by many fouls, but at that Referee Swede Nielsen did not call them closely. The Varsity used seven men and was able to pound out a 14 to 5 victory over the freshmen.
Bulletin Published On Oil and Gas In Kansas
The oil and gas resources of Kansas are still comparatively untouched, according to Dr. Raymond C. Moore, state geologist, who with Dr. Winthrop P. Haynes, another member of the State Geological Survey at K. U. is publishing a bulletin, "Oil and Gas Resources of Kansas."
The bulletin contains the first authoritative description of the Butler County oil fields, which are the center of the whole mid-continent field. Maps showing the rock formations and land charts of production and a detailed record of the producing sands are included in the description.
At the annual apiarips convention held in Topeka, Friday, Prof. S. J. Hunter told of the investigation of the bee industry by the department of entomology at the University of Kansas. "Foul food" led to a mass case of one of the chief topics destructive diseases known to the of discussion.
Next Draft Will Cause
Shortage of Men Teachers
"After the next draft it is probable the high schools in Kansas will be short 60 per cent of their men instructors" says Prof. W. H. Johnson of the School of Education. Almost all the principals are married men with families but the instructors are chiefly unmarried men of draft age.
The educational department is unable to furnish teachers to fill these vacancies because many young women are not qualified to teach such branches as agriculture, chemistry, physics and mathematics. All the young men who were majoring in these subjects are in the draft.
Mr. Johnson believes it is quite probable the standard for the high school instructor, which requires four years of service flag with nearly 800 stars.
Christmas Jobs Still Left

More men are wanted for jobs which will be waiting during the Christmas days, according to McKenry University secretary of the University Y. M. C. A. Odd jobs of furnace work and table waiting will be open for the student who remains in Lawrence.

Prof. Bailey Advises People of Lawrence To Economize on Fuel
Wood and Unscreened Coal Should Be Used Now To Prevent Coal Famine
"Conserve all the coal possible" is the advice of Prof. E. H. S. Bailey is giving by letter to the people of Lawrence today. "Now is the time to use emergency coal that in Januaries will not be the great shortage in coal anticipated."
"Any kind of fuel should be used now," says Professor Bailey. "Even the 'run of the mine' and 'unscreeled' coal burn well enough and supply heat. More wood should be consumed to lessen the hardship in the two coming months."
Authorities are dreading these months because there is so little reserve all over the country, and so much coal is needed for commercial purposes. The thirty per cent increase in the price since 1915, but government regulation has kept it down, in spite of great demand. As for wood, Professor Batley said there had been no regulation to keep it down for it, but $6.00 was a fair price.
"in the matter of heat," Professor Bailey said, "one cord of well-seasoned mixed wood is equal to a ton of average-grade bitumen coal. It is absolutely essential that we try to preheat a coal famine next month."

Special Car To Soldiers
To Leave December 19
T. J. Sweeney Will Help Make Christmas Happy For Boys At Fort Sill
Plans for the Christmas entertainment for the Lawrence men at Fort Sill have been slightly changed. The special car, carrying the gifts, will leave Lawrence on December 19, instead of December 23, as was originally planned. T. J. Sweeney, a local banker, will accompany the train and help the military authorities with the distribution of the gifts.
Col. Hugh Means of the Kansas battery organization, has agreed to lend his motor car to help with distribution. Colonel Means until recently served as a judge where he was the senior member of the law firm of Means and Rice.
Gifts may be left at the Red Cross headquarters in the Watkins National Bank. Packages should be plainly marked with the name of the soldier, and his organization and also the name of the sender.
The Lawrence military organization at Fort Sill contain many former students. Battery B had for its officers mostly K. U. graduates or former students of the college and of officers were from this University and several of the non-commissioned.
