Jayhawker Track Team Shattered By Loss Of Twenty-eight Athletes
Squad
Graduation And Call To Service Depletes Ranks of
Kansas is almost an unknown quantity in track work this year, owing to the large number of stars that have left school to enter military service. Of these, four hundred letters last spring, twelve have either graduated or gone into the army.
The team will be weakest in the distance events, as the loss of Fred Rodkey, in the half, quarter and mile relay, Staterlin in the two-mile and mile, Sproull in the mile and relay, Groene in the two-mile. Howland in the mile and Welsh and Dillon in the mile. At present no new men appear as likely candidates of the same quality as these track athletes.
Haddock and Marshall are also good men at handling the weights, as is Casey. Ziegler is another letter man back in the University. Crowley is also good in the weight events in a pinch.
In the dashes, K. U. will be the strongest with some good material to pick from in the freshman class of last year. Schwartz is good in all of the dash events, while Haddock and Marshall, two other Kansas City speed friends, are real stars in the dash events.
In the jumps, Rice, who made a great mate for Trewekke last spring, is a good high jumper, clearing six feet in several meets last season. There is no good man either in the pole vault or broad jump, and a vaulter and broad jumper will have to come from the ranks of the new men.
It is possible that from this year's cross-country team there will develop some good distance runners. Of this group, three are Fred Rodley, one of the best. He will run the quarter or half and is also a good hurdler. Dewall and McCormack are other good men in this squad. They are nominees in the mile- and two-mile runs.
For the two-mile there is no veteran in school to handle the event. For the mile the same holds true and new material will have to be developed. In the half-mile run, there is Paul Mur- second only to Rockey last year in this race. To win his best race, this is his second season on the team.
Rodkey, Crowley and Brown appear to be the best runners for the 440-yard dash, although there should be some good material from the freshman squad of last spring.
Eleven track meets have been scheduled for the Jayhawkers this season, four of which being scheduled for the winter season. It is likely that last year's plan of having early season work will be delayed this season. It is almost certain that some work will be done as soon as the football season closes.
Flintom of A. E. F. Keeps In Touch With K. U. Life
L. B. Flintm, a student in the journalism department last year, now a second lieutenant in the marine corps of the A. E. F., is wielding the sword of his sorrow on aorship bureau somewhere "Over There," according to a letter received this week by Prof. S. O. Rice of the department of Journalism. The letter was written October 22nd. At that time he was stationed in France a little over two months.
Flintom is strongly in favor of military drill and the continuance of athletics at the University. "Under no circumstances should athletes be dislodged from the field," he writes. "I would much prefer to see compulsory military drill established. It is the best thing Kansas could do just now. I don't mean for one or two hours a week, but five, six, seven days. The better spirit would enter the school, better health prevail, and the men would be prepared better to meet an
emergency. A former K. U. mar J. V. Connelly, who is now a field clerk in the adjutant-general's office is Flintton's roommate. Flintn writes that they miss the Kansan very much, as newspapers do not always arrive. In asking for a few copies he says, "It will be mighty good to pursue the college that would make you less once more. It will take me back to the many hours I spent in the basement of the edifice devoted to you use."

Extraordinary Announcement Var Tax Must Be Collected on all Football Tickets
A telegram hasjust been received from Mr. Wm. Pepperell, Collector of Internal Revenue for Kansas, stating that a war tax of 10 per cent must be collected for every admission, PAID or COMPLIMENTARY, to football games. The management MUST collect this tax. The athletic authorities thought these games were exempt from taxation.
As a great many tickets have already been sold without collecting tax thereon, it will be necessary to sell a war tax coupon to every person.
Holders of Bleacher Seat Tickets (paid or complimentary) 20 cent coupon.
Holders of Box Seat Tickets (paid or complimentary) 25 cent coupon.
Every Person Must Have Proper Coupon
The coupons are now on sale at Carroll's; U.P. Ticket Office; Business Office, Gymnasium, McCook Field. Get tickets at once—don't wait to get them at game.
Special ticket office will be opened at the entrance to campus this (Friday) afternoon, and will sell Saturday morning.
The management will greatly appreciate cooperation of students and towns people in getting their tickets before coming to the field.
