Obstacles Near End of Race
Handicapped Jayhawker
Kansas cleaned up on the Agries at cross country "obstacle race" along with the football victory Saturday. The score was 27 to 28.
The eleventh hour move on the part of the K. S. A. C. managers was that of making the cross country run an obstacle race. The men had good roads to run on, although the hills were short and steep, but at the finish they had to go through a drainage ditch, into the back of the athletic field through a hole in the ball, up a three-fold path, across a grassy area with stubble and weeds, and finally in through a narrow passage on to the track on the football field. The runners then had a quarter of a mile to run on the track.
The time, 29 minutes 35 seconds, was good for such an unusual race. The K. U. coaches had not been notified sequently the men went into the run with no experience in wall scaling and ditch walking. The first the men encountered theirs they were to encounter was when they were shot over the course.
The trip over the course caused the men to have a late dinner and they started the run just forty-five minutes afterwards. The result was that Ralph Rodkey became the first player to win the race, Foreman, an Agnife runner, was the first man to cross the line, then came Dewall, a Jayhawker athlete. The Farmers put the man across, Beckett. Brown, Hanna and McCall, all Kansas runners, were the next man to receive the tape, cinching the run for K-U.
Buffington was nosed out of the ninth place by Seeber of the Aggie team, making a total of twenty-seven points for Kansas.
The points were counted by giving the first man to cross on point, the second man to cross on point.
Kansas will send five or six men to Norman next Saturday to meet the strong Oklahoma team of distance runners. K. U. won from Oklahoma in a fast race last year on the Lawrence course.
University Soldier Boys
Defeat Eastern Stars
Soldiers in Camp Doniphan, are rejoicing at the remarkable showing of athletes in the competition held as part of the Lawton gala day celebration for the soldiers. The chief triumph was in the game where triumphs triumphed over the eleven of the Fourteenth field artillery, made up largely of regular army officers. The Fourteenth field artillery included in its lineup men with football experience at Michigan, West Point, Yale, Purdue and Notre Dame. The Army from Michigan acted as captain and played right tackle for the Fourteenth.
The eleven which won an 8 to 0 victory before a crowd of nearly 10,000, was made up largely of Kansas university and Haskell players. At ends were Williams, Carlisle and Haskell star; Reid, K. U., and Hill, Kansas Normal. Tackles were Reedy of K. U. and Rubble of K. U. Guards were Pierce of Fairmount and Keffer. Nebraska university. Playmates Jupiter, Copher, Lawrence high school, was at quarterback, with Clements, Haskell, at left half; Rook Woodward and Gordon Saunders, K. U., at fulback, and Shannon of College of Emporia, and Lane of Midland at right half. A forward pass to Williams was responsible for the touchdown.
SPORT BEAMS
Since the Kansas Aggies have been eliminated from the valley race the battle cry of the Jayhawkers is now "On To Soonerville." Bennie Winnie's proteges are adept at the forward position. William Mitchell with the Crimson and Blue eleven will have to fight harder than against the Aggies.
The former K. U. students now in their country's service at Camp Funston are loyal to their school. Practically every Jayhawker in camp on Kansas and is now considerable shekels ahead. Besides being ahead financially they will not be subjected to the Agggies' boasting.
The Aggie sport dopsters now say the Farmers outplayed Kansas in ever department of the game and that we won they know not why. They are all aware that "headwork" is of great importance in football at the present time.
Want $50,000 to Erect Kansas Hall at Funston
A campaign has been started to raise a regimental fund of $50,000 for the 353rd infantry, composed entirely of Kansas men. The money will be used in building a recreation hall at Camp Funston to furnish healthy amusement for the men now stationed there.
The 353rd infantry is composed of 3700 men, and the plan is for the people of Kansas to contribute $10 for each man in the regiment. The men themselves have promised to give $3, apiece. These contributions would raise almost $50,000 and it will then be possible to start the building. All of the work will be done by the men themselves.

COACH JAY BOND
Give Soldiers Chance
To Study, Says Grider
K. U. Professor Favors Sending Less Magazines and More Texts
"K. U. men in the army should have a chance to continue in part their work in the University," said Prof. R. L. Grider this morning "we should send them correspondence lessons at Saturday Evenn- Posts."
Professor Grider has a letter from Arnold A. Bell, one of his students in mining engineering last year, who is now in the coast artillery service in Maine. In his letter, Bell asked that he be allowed to take work through correspondence. Dean Walker, who is now in New Mexico, has the same idea and agreed to twenty-five men prefer reading to any other form of recreation. He also reports that reading matter is scarce in the camp.
Professor Grider believes that the money which is being asked for the purpose of buying libraries and magazines for the soldiers could be spent to better advantage. He believes moreover that the University should be educated who are now in the army and offer them inducements to spend their leisure time studying something that will be useful to them in the army and also in later life. He cited courses in history, mining, engineering economics, transportation, aeronautics, computer science and French as being of special value to the soldier because of the close association with these subjects.

Olcott Says Goodbye
To Rooters At Rally
Coach Beau Olcott gave his last rally speech to the K. U. rooters at the Agrigate rally Friday night. He said, "I have great faith in the team this year, and I believe they can win the valley title if the fight present at the Ames game holds out for the entire season."
Chancellor Frank Strong, the first speaker, opened the rally by saying he expected to see the team win from the Aggies. Allie Carroll spoke of his disappointment that represented K. U. and also of his sorrow at seeing Coach Ocloit leave. After Mr. Ocloit's talk, Uncle Jimmy Green closed the rally with one of his inspirational football talks. Jack Frost represented the team in his

ted ten yards as the half ended, with the score 3 to 0, in favor of K. U. A few more minutes might have meant a Jawhawk touchdown.
FARMERS COME FACE DAILY
Stipting and making five hinds, Hinds and made five yards apiece. Sullivan dashed sixteen more for another down. Hult threw Randels for a two yard loss. Jones was after the man who caught Foster's punt. Neither passing nor line smashes gained anything for the Farmers and a punt was necessary to return punt by Foster. A fifteen yard onward flip and then a ten-yard pass from Clark to E. Ptacek, made two more first dows and placed the ball on the K. U. ten yard line. Here the men of Cleverenger lost fifteen on a penalty, followed by with an eightyard run. A five yard pass failed to make downs. Foster punted. Lonborg intercepted a pass, but Foster was again forced to kick. The three Aggie stars, L. Tpacek, Hinds, and Sullivan, could only make eight yards and Clark punted.
MANDIEVILLE RUNS SEVENTEEN YARDS
To start the final quarter, Pringle made nine yards and Nielsen carried it to a touchdown. Fiveyards on plays by Pringle and Mandeville, Foster attempted an on-side kick, Hinds recovering.
Pringle carried the ball nine yards and Nielsen made downs. Mandeville brought the Kansas roots to their feet by making seventeen yards around left end. Seven yards by Nielsen and Pringle were offset by a fifteen yard penalty. A twenty-yard flop to Lonborg from Pringle seemed good for a score but Lonborg could not hold it.
borge broke up an Aggie pass, and a few seconds later woke he was thrown down by a helicopter.
INTERCEPTED PASSES HELP KANSAS Mandela intercepted the next pass on the Aggie forty yard line. Foster made five and Pirel hurled the ball to Lonborg for twelve yards. The K. U. right end literally got the ball off the ground. Pringle made six yards off left tackle but Nielsen could not make downs and Lonborg attempted another place-kick from the Aggie twenty-three yard line. The ball moved going between the farmers. The Farmers immediately opened up and as a result, Laslett intercepted a pass, placing the ball on the Aggie twenty-three yard line.
Coach Olcott sent in two fresh men, Rubble for Pringle and Casey for Mandeville. Mandeville had made two yards, and Ruble took up the burden, making eight yards on two plays for downs and knockdowns. Nielsen failed to gain, but Ruble was there in the pinch again. On two end runs he made eight and carried the ball to within six inches of a touchdown on a line smash for downs. Nelisen carried the ball over, with only thirty seconds left to kick goal. The game ended as Sullivan received Nettels' kickoff.
Foster played well in spite of his injured shoulder. `Ruble, who has been out for the team barely a week, is playing on the few minutes he was in the game.`
