Ex-Coach Olcott Sends Word of Encouragement To Men He Left Behind
Man Who Built Fighting Machine That Faces Nebraska Saturday
New Coach At Great Lakes
Will Be In Kansas City With His Team Of Jack Tars On November.24
"Give the team my best wishes. I hope it will husk Nebraska's corn in a business-like manner" is the message of Herman Olcott, who two weeks ago reinplumed his position here as football coach to take up athletic work with the Jackies at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station.
Olcott is now civilian director of athletics there. He with Dr. Kauffman and Coach John Bates reject the physical training of the Jackies. Olcott says the Great Lakes football team is a wonderful one and has some of the best individual players in America.
HERMAN OLCOTT
COACHING JACKIE LINE
Olcott is now coaching the line of the Great Lakes team while Angell continues to coach the backfield. He says that the same style of play will be used during the rest of the season, as he does not approve of a mid-season change. He said he will be in Kansas City with the Great Lakes队 November 24 when he plays the Camp Founten team.
The task of furnishing the athletic wants of 40,000 vigorous young men is not an easy one. The intensity of the task may be seen when it is noted that O'Bost is now trying to get 8,000 gloves in the boxgloves for the sailors.
STRONG FOR HIS TEAM
He believes that the Great Lakes team will show up well in the games which they have to play with the Fort Sheridan, Camp Grant and Camp Eagle. The camp is being expended to furnish the necessary physical recreation for the men of the training camp.
At present Mr. Olecit is staying at the officers mess of the first regiment at Camp Dewey. He will probably be on a commission in the navy later on.
State Examines Food And Drug Inspectors
The Kansas State Civil Service Commission will hold an examination for food and drug inspectors in the department of the Board of Health at the state house, Topeka, Saturday, December 1.
Prof. L. E. Sayre has just received a letter from the president of the Civil Service Commission asking him, together with Prof. E. H. S. Bailey and Dr. Willard of the State Agricultural College, to serve on a committee to prepare questions, and to grade the papers.
"Only men over 31 are eligible," said Denn Sayer today, "because of the high cost of health care."
Cross Country Team Leaves for Manhattan To Enter Valley Meet
Ames and Nebraska Stronges Competitors For K. U.
Team
The Kansas cross country team of six men will leave for Manhattan tomorrow morning for the annual Missouri Valley cross country meet Saturday. All of the K. U. runners are in good condition for the five-mile race and they should make the other teams hustle to win.
Missouri, Ames, Kansas Aggies and possibly Nebraska will have teams entered in the meet. Ames has practically every man she had on the great team of last season back this fall and is doped to win the meet. Ames won from the Tigers early in the season by a decisive score.
The Jayhawkers have defeated both the Kansas Aggies and Oklahoma by narrow margins, but in both races the K. U. athletes have been running under difficulties and are expected to do better in the valley run. A
second place for Kansas is almost certain, unless Nebraska shows unexpected strength. The Cornhuskers will make a big bid for the title if they have Graf, the best two-mile man in valley last spring, to run for them.
Hawthorne is the best runner for the Iowa Aggies but the whole team finishes almost together. Ralph Rodkey has shown the best in practice but has fallen down in the meets. Dewall and Brown are both good runners, and have been finishing first in meets this fall. The men ran five miles Monday, Sunday, and Wednesday, a mile and a half yesterday. Rest will be the program for today.
Rex Brown was elected captain of the cross country team yesterday afternoon to take the place **p** Harry Rinker, who has gone into the army service as an aviator. Cross country letters were given to the six men on the field during the race, so that the runners have made this year is twenty-nine minutes.
The cross country team will not enter the Western Conference — meet this year, as it has the last two seasons. It has not been decided whether it will be Kansas City Thanksgiving Day as has been the custom for many years.
