CLARKE FIRST TO GO
War has called many of last year's coaches and players. The last one to answer the call to the colors is Coach Herman Olcott, who left the University two weeks ago to be civilian divisoner for the Great Lakes Naval Training Station.
Coach Olcott is coaching the line of the Jackies' team that will meet the Camp Funston team at Kansas City November 24.
One of the first men to leave the University after the declaration of war was Potsy Clark, assistant coach of football. Potsy went to the first officer's training camp at Fort Riley. He was one of four commissioned as second lieutenant.
Potay is now an officer in the eighty-ninth division and is stationed at Camp Funston. He is a member of the team that will meet Coach Olcott's Jackie team at Kansas City November 24.
Freshman Coach, Leon B. McCarty has also answered the call to the colors and is first sergeant of the first company of Kansas engineers. Coach David Smith, a fourth pupil, Tony James, who is first lieutenant of the company.
PLAYERS WEAR STRIPES
Many of the players have also enlisted or received commissions. Adrian H. Lindsay, Jick Fast Wint Smith, Swede Vernson and Tad Reid received commissions at the first officers' training camp.
Lindsay, Fast and Reid are stationed at Camp Funston, and the two former are playing football with the Camp Funston team. Lindsay has proved the star of nearly every game played by the soldiers.
WINT SMITH IN FRANCE
Wint Smith is now in France with the American Expeditionary Forces, and writes that he is learning how best to kill Germans with machine guns and grenades. He says that he has seen but one football game since he was born, that one he taken there by an American M. Y. C. A. secretary.
Rook Woodward is now first lieutenant in the supply company of the Third Kansas Infantry, and is stationed at Fort McKenzie. Cowill are in the aviation service, and Harian Russell is doing army Y. M. C. A. work.
"Cussin" Tom Smith Arrives In Town and Predicts K. U. Victory
Hiawatha Lawyer Was Member Of Ever Victorious Team In 1899
T. Davenport Smith, better known to students at the University of Kansas as "Cusinia" Tom Smith, arrived in Lawrence last Wednesday morning from his home in Hiawatha for the annual Javahower Homecoming.
Mr. Smith was a member of the Jayhawk team in 1898 and 1899. He played guard and tackle on Coach "Hurry-up" cost's ever-victorious defense and will call University record for number of goals booted after touchdown in a single season. During the season of 1899 he kicked forty-four goals after touchdown out of forty-four attempts, and he would goal in the game against Missouri.
Two years ago Cussin' Tom Smith brought down the wrath of the University on his head by stating on the eve of the Oklahoma game that he had students were ready to give him a coat of tar and feathers if he appeared on the campus.
However, Mr. Smith proved that the statement was made only for effect when he appeared at a rally just before the Nebraska game of 1915 and made one of the best pep talks ever given at the University. Since then he has been one of the most popular speaker at homecoming rallies.
Mr. Smith was a delegate-at-large to the Chicago convention in 1916, and has announced himself as a candidate for the office of attorney general of Kansas in 1918. asked if he was going to have any opposition to the nomination, he replied that he would be among other candidates. However, that doesn't seem to worry him much. "Let them come," he said, "the more there are the merrier."
The ex-player believes Kansas is going to win the big game tomorrow. The opponent will find hard going around Laslett and Lonborg.
"Hope for Kansas lies in the fact that she has won all her games by close scores and has had to fight hard all the way," said Mr. Smith. "Further hope lies in the fact that Kansas won last year's game, for a fellow isn't so hard to lick after you've done it once."
