SPORT BEAMS
Speaking of rotten service, nowadays, the Western Union Telegraph Company is to be included in the list. In handling the reports of the Kansas-Oklahoma game at Norman, Saturday, the company sent some of the reports of the last quarter before the first reports, and held all of the reports about two hours. A report of each quarter and the entire season made were filed at the game just as the game was played. There is an excuse for holding the reports up two hours, but few can see why the company should send the last reports first and the last reports last.
Hundreds of seats for the Kansas-Nebraska clash on McCook field next Saturday are being sold every day according to Manager W. O. Hamilton. A number of good rooster seats are still left however.
Captain Swede Neilson said this morning he would be very disappointed if Kansas did not win from Nebraska again this year. He said the team has been in a slump the last couple of weeks but that everyone should be going good by next Saturday.
Cafes For Conservation Need Students' Support
"The students themselves will have to regulate the amount of food conserved in our restaurants," is the answer given at both the Oread Cafe and the Marmalade Café, what extent they were helping in the food conservation movement.
"We would like to arrange for meatless and wheatless days, but it is necessary that we meet the demands of all our customers. Therefore we cannot do what we would like to do about the matter."
These cafes, however, try to give everyone a chance to fulfill their pledges by serving every day some kind of fish, fresh or canned, cornbread once a day, and other bread requiring a minimum of wheat flour.
Most of the students have done very well in keeping their pledges. In the last week the demand for wheat bread has decreased noticeably, while the salmon and fresh fish orders have increased daily.

Kansas Again Winner
In Cross-Country Run
Difficult Course Made 27-29 Victory Hard for Crimson and Blue
The Kansas Cross Country team continued its winning streak at Norman Saturday when it defeated the Oklahoma team 27 to 29. The race was a preliminary to the Kansas-Oklahoma football game.

Dewall was the first Kansas runner to pass the wire, Brown, Hanna, McCall, and Rodkey following him in the order named.
This makes the second victory for the Crimson and Blue team this year, Manhattan having been defeated by one point last week. Two more races will be run, one with Nebraska, and the other with Missouri. The dope points to a clean sweep of victories for the Kansas runners.
"Newpaper Writing in High Schools" is the title of a bulletin by Prof. L. N. Flint published by the Journalism Press this week. The bulletin is intended as an aid to teachers who have had no previous training in journalism and outlines a course of activity to cover a period of thirty-six weeks.
Bulletin on Journalism ' Sent to High Schools
Professor Flint, of Departmen of Journalism, Outlines Course For Teachers
An appeal is made to the teacher to limit the work strictly to newspaper writing, covering news writing, editorial writing and feature writing. Professor Flint also urges that the pupils be kept from thinking of the course as a profession one that will fit them for work in the newspaper world.
The bulletin recommends practical work on the high school paper or the local papers in conjunction with the course.
Courses in newspaper writing are already taught in many of the high schools of the state. More than a score of the former students of the department of journalism are now teaching such courses.
The bulletin will be sent free to any Kansas high school teacher. A charge of fifty cents will be made for all copies sent outside the state.
Test Value for Manufacturing Artificial Gas and Metallurgical Coke
Chemists Investigate Kansas Coal Products
A series of tests is being made by the division of state chemical research at the University to determine the value of Kansas coals for the manufacture of artificial gas and metallurgical coke. The investigation was suggested by the fact that the supply of the state is rapidly being exhausted
The gas will be analyzed with special reference to its heating and illuminating power, and the coke will be examined to determine its composition. The remaining coke. The tar obtained will be examined for hezcol, toluol and naphtha.
The investigation is being made to determine definitively whether or not the coal can be utilized for either or both of the uses mentioned. A coking furnace of laboratory dimensions will be designed to determine the volume of gas and the amount of coke the coal will furnish.
The interest of women in public speaking at the University of Kansas is increasing. Regardless of the fact that the enrollment of the University is smaller than that of last year, the number of students taking the courses is increasing. In addition, and extemporaneous speaking is practically the same.
The results when finished will be published as a state bulletin. The results are sent to the editor.

Women Enthusiastic Over Cross Country Hiking—200 Enrolled
Course Consists of Squad Marching With Simple Military Tactics
The most popular form of exercise for women under the new system of five hours of compulsory exercise is the course offered in cross country hiking, according to gymnasium instructors. There are about two hundred women enrolled in this course According to Mary Bacon, instructor in physical education, these men who are the first most bitterly opposed to compulsory exercise, show the best spirit since they have actually started of the work.
The course in cross country consists of squad marching of from one to four miles a day in which simple military tactics are used. The women are divided into squads of from sixteen to twenty persons including the squad leaders. The distance that the squad covers and the character of the ground over which they are positioned is called the condition of the women who compose the squad. At present the exercise is far from strenuous.
The course in cross country is offered only at four and five o'clock. Many women are taking the entire five hours in cross country but some are making the second and final hours and are making up the required time in floor work or swimming.
Each squad goes in a different direction every night. Roads are not followed except for a very short distance. Last night one squad leader reported climbing ten barb wire fences and taking cross country as they took crossing country are supposed to wear suitable clothing to afternoon classes that they may take cross country without making a change of garments. There is no special dress or kind of shoe. The only requirement is that the worn is that they must be low heeled.
Unique Kansas Specimen Being Saved By Curator
H. T. Martin, curator in the department of paleontology, is working out a unique specimen of a fossil shark. It is a specimen of a shark preserved with the skull intact, owing to the fact that sharks are cartiligenous—that is not true bones—this specimen is practically a compass rose. There are several hundred teeth, and shows fairly well the shape of the skull.
The fossil was found near Russel Springs in Logan county by Francis Barber of Russel Springs. It was received in the Museum six or seven years ago but Mr. Martin did not have an opportunity to examine it until he met Dr. John Lloyd, who believes that this is of great scientific importance as there are only six specimens known, and these do not show the size of the skull.

Since the campaign for the conservation of food and all other things that will help the allies win the war is being realized, we find places where he can economize.
The department of geology for several years has been practicing economy with the water that it uses in irrigation. The same water is complied by using the same water many times. After it has been used to wash one quantity of ore the water is allowed to run off into a tank or reservoir, and the floor at one corner of the room.

Campus Flower Beds
"If people would only take an extra step or two and go around the edges of flower beds instead of walking through them, we could soon have a beautiful campus. Every time a foot is set down in the flower beds the earth is so packed down that it is hard to see how much soil has inundated, because most of the plants are young and their roots are tender." In September 145 plants of 21 varieties were set out and a week ago 38 more of five varieties were added.
Department of Geology Economizes In Water
"The footprints of careless students are much harder to fight against than any insect pests that we have," said Mr. Evanoff, the landscape gardener, when asked about the progress he was making with the new shrubbery.
When the dirt has settled to the bottom the water is pumped into a large reservoir near the ceiling, from which it can again be run over the ore again and as many times as the operator desires.
