UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN VOLUME XV. NUMBER 35. Col. Briggs Announces Appointment of 137 To Officer K. U. Unit UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 5, 1917. Seven Hundred Men Start Doing "Squads Right"—First Move Against Kaiser Men to Hold Places a Month Faculty Men Constitute Tactical Staff—Twenty More Corporals To Be Chosen With the appointment of 137 men by Col. E. M. Briggs this morning to officer the 700 University students who have enrolled in military drill classes, began a new era in the life of the University of Kansas. Never before has compulsory physical exercises required of every student in the University before he had military drill been taught as a part of a student's physical education. An analysis of the appointments shows that military drill has the solid backing of the University. Among those receiving appointments are president of senior class, cheerleader, head basketball coach, junior class, president of senior law class, president of the College, and president of the Men's Student Council. Freshmen were excluded from first sergeancy and above and few sophomores received commissions. It was thought that older and more mature men would make better officers because the women would be called to the colors first. HOLD OFFICES A MONTH Student officers hold their positions for one month. At that time all officers from captain down automatically lose their commissions. This does not necessarily mean that a new set of officers will follow as good men may be reappointed. Under this system of rotation in office men who are now out or returning to the old athletics will have an opportunity of becoming officers later. FACULTY MEN AT HEAD "I consider that we have as good student officers as the average college military organization," said Colonel Larry O'Reilly, the senior officers have had military experience. There were many good men among the freshmen and sophomores that we desired to appoint, but we thought it would let them have their turn next year." FACULTY MEN AT HEAD Faculty men hold all the offices in the tactical staff and of the captain, among others, given these positions because their wide military experience will be of great value in getting the organization under way. INSIST ON DISCIPLINE Colonel Briggs has had two years' cadet drill at the University of Nebraska in the battalion established by Gen. Jack Pershing. He has served as first leutenant in Company M of the K. N. G. for three years and went with his company to the Mexican border in 1916. Last year he taught in illinois and graduated from Harvard University. He also served as regimental adjutant and major of the Third Battalion of the Harvard regiment last summer. “In starting military drill at the university we will insist on absolute democracy,” said Colonel Briggs. “We are now living in war times and University students realize that their child's essential part of our preparation for war. I believe many upperclassmen will be called to the colors before the end of the school year. Some students have dropped school work with credit to take this work without credit simply for the good that can be derived from it. "Our military organization will be run on a strictly military basis, the keynote of which, is discipline. All students should realize that discipline is important in the machine for its enforcement is the Senate resolution that anyone doing unsatisfactory work in the department of physical education may be withdrawn by his dean from all other classes. The aim of the drill will be to teach the students as well as to train them for the serious business of war." The names of musicians and sergeant majors will be announced later.

Finance Campaign Begins With Banquet For Workers Tomorrow Every Man In University Will Be Asked to Aid Association The University Y. M. C. A. Finance Campus opens with a banquet in Myers Hall Tuesday noon with all captains and promotion force men in attendance. The campaign close tomorrow night all men have checked in to Hugo Wedell, general secretary of the association. two thousand dollars must be raised to carry on the work of the association for another year. The men students of the University will be asked to give this. Eight hundred dollars will be raised among the faculty members. This is the same amount raised last year. "The association will never run it it is in debt," the opinion of Wedell. "In my belief any Christian organization doing active Christian work and believing in honest dealings should follow its own teachings and keep out of debt. The University of Kansas Y. M. C. A. has all assistance to secure the office for this condition to last always. That is why the association is asking the assistance in a financial way of every man in the University." The banquet at noon is for every promotion force man. It will start promptly at 12 o'clock and will be over in time for one o'clock classes. Final instructions will be given to workers at that time. "The success of the local association's work means much to the war work which is being carried on daily by the Y. M. C. A.", said Wedell this morning. "If we make good in this local campaign it means just that much more to the men in the trenches." the campaign will close at 11:30 o'clock with a doughnut and apple cake. Woold expects the campaign this year to be the best that has ever been held.

This will be the engineers' first stunt of the year, and they promise to put it across good and strong.

Tuesday, November 7 Jayhawkers Eliminated Aggies From Conference Race Saturday K. U. Trims Fighting Farmer Eleven at Manhattan In a Spectacular 9-to-0 Game—Lonborg Boots Field Goal In Second Quarter New Players Sent In By Olcott Make Victory Certain Kansas Plays Waiting Game; Score Touchdown Last Minute Of Game—Lead Valley Conference With Only Nebraska and Tideers In Wav Plain Tales From The Hill Manhattan The fods. O the empty box car. Or the sand car. / Fifty fellows packed in. Three times off and on going up. Three times coming back. The cold in the head. Quack, quack, quack. Monday morning, eight o'clock. That's the Manhattan game. John McMurphy, a former student in the department of journalism now with Company M, 137 Infantry at Camp Doniphan, writes to the Kansas: We are camped down here by deeds back door (if he has one). The dust is on the south and on the seventh from the south and on the seventh and brings it all back. It's a great place, I'm telling you. Our water is fine—tastes like pond water flavored with moss, mud, and dead cats. Could hardly drink it at the pool. You can drink a quart without batting at it, so bad that the fellows walking down the company streets think they are chewing gum and it is only mud." K. U. students who ate at a certain restaurant in Manhattan Saturday are wondering whether the proprietors kept a cow at the back of the establishment. Every time anybody ordered a glass of milk, there was a wild ringing of a cowbell in the kitchen. For sale: One perfectly good coyote. Inquire at Phi Kappa house. Captured by one freshman on the way home from K. U-Aggie game. On second thought, coyote lacks one tooth, removed by kick from one Phi Kappa foot, occasion being a bite by the coyote. Has a beautiful voice. To the Phi Kappa Psi and Beta Theta Pi fraternities; Gentlemen; This will inform you that pledges to your honorable fraternities are appearing on the Hill about their Headgear. Their names are: Hayward Wheeler, Phi Psi William Hitchcock, Beta. No explanation needed. Your respectfully, Vigilance Commit Have you sent a letter without the necessary three cents yet? Or have you gone to the movies without the necessary two cents war tax in your pocket. Two K. U. women did, went to the movies that is, with only thirty cents! A pair of "peg top" trousers, direct from the city, proved too much a balloon for Stewart Ludlow at the theater Friday. After making a beautiful ascension, into the air, he made a disgraceful descent; but must be given credit for the way he handled his guy ropes in getting up. "It's not so bad to have the entire chapter know who you have a date with after all," said a certain Pi U freshman, after a date at the Theta house Sunday evening. He had a date with a certain Theta freshman, but made the grave mistake of calling for a certain Chi Omega instead. Luckily the woman who met him at the door informed him that he had a date with her sister—whom she proceeded to call. Professor Dockerer in sophomore Psychology: "Conciousness becomes definite to the extent that persons form new movements." This motor activity holds good in the cases of both adults and smaller infants. So? Religion Is Scheme Of Life, Says Raymond Kent The Weather Raymond Kent, superintendent of Lawrence schools defined religion as the scheme of life by which we live, in his talk at the University Vaspers yesterday, he emphasized the fact that religion is living, not argument nor theory. Dr. Wilbur Nesbit Mason, a member of the Board of Administration and ex-president of Baker University will speak next Sunday. The weather will be fair tonight, until weday with no change in terpastur. Fighting for every inch of ground but delivering the necessary punch at strategic times the Crimson and Blue gridiron eleven eliminated the Kansas Aggies from the Missouri Valley Conference championship Saturday, by defeating them on their home field, 9 to 0. NEW MEN HELP OFFENSIVE Kansas scored in the second quarter when Lonborg booted a goal from placement on the Aggie twenty-five yard line. The ball was carried to the twenty-five yard line on a series of line plunges by Pringle, Nielsen, Krantville, and Foster with excellent co-operation of the Kansas line. NEW MEN HELP OFFENSIVE The Kansas touchdown came when Captain Nielsen plunged over the goal line and hit the final blast. The entire Jayhawker team started a drive five minutes before the end of the game. After the K. U. backfield had carried the ball to the Farmers' twenty- yard line, Coach Olcott sent in Ruble and Casey. Ruble plowed through the dirt down which placed the ball on the sixth hole. Olcott ried the ball on the sixth play, over on the first play. It was a glorious victory. One thousand Jayhawker rooters went wild. The instant the final whistle sounded Kansas supporters rushed onto the field and carried the players off on their shoulders. The Aggies kicked off and Kansas got away poorly, when Mandeville lost five yards. K. U. was forced to punt and the Aggie offensive started. L. Ptacek, the K. S. A. C. fullback who carried the ball the most consistently for the Farmers, made the first down of the game on four and six shots, and the Mandeville Manhattan-eleven was penalized five yards. Hinds made three, and then was downed for no gain when Mandeville got him. Clark was forced to punt. Nielsen gained two and Foster punt twenty-five yards. Ptacek made ten more yards. A fifteen yard pass, Clark to Randels, who ran ten yards, placed the ball on the Kansas fifteen yard line. After gaining seven yards on three plays, Ptacek muffed the ball and made no gain. Kansas took the ball on downs. Foster, handicapped by his injuries shoulder,打压 only twenty yards. Frost stopped Hinds, while Mandelvieville broke up a pass, and the enemy was forced to kick. Foster was forced to punt. Clark passed to Enlow, for downs. Sullivan gained five. Two more gains placed the ball on the Kansas fifteen yard line. A fifteen yard penalty set the Farmers back as the quarter closed. Hinds, the small an open field runner, gained six yards around left end and Randela made two yards. Clark threw a pass to Enlow for ten yards but the Aggies failed to make downs. **AYHAWKER OPENSIVE STARTS** and the Jayhawker attack started with a rush. Mandeville made four yards, Pringle five, both through left tackle, and Captain Nielsen was there with another five-yard gain for the first. U.down of three yards, Prince ground eleven, while Mandeville sped around left end for a five-yard gain. AGGIES THREATEN AT START LONBORG KICKS PERFECT GOAL JAYHAWKER OFFENSIVE STARTS Foster gained six yards and then big Tom Pringle smashed through for fifteen yards. In spite of thirteen yards gained around right end, held down by Captain Reynolds, Kansas was held from a touchdown by a fifteen-yard gain. An Indian had the ball on the twelve yard line when set back. Mandeville and Pringle made eleven yards. Lonborg dropped back and kicked a perfect goal from placement from the twenty-five yard line. The ball cleared the two goal posts by twelve feet. Piaceck renetted Nettles' fifty-five yard kick-off, twenty-five yards. Clark again tried an onward flip to E. Piaceck, Agile left tackle, for fifteen yards. Hinden grabbled the ball when L. Piaceck fumbled, and raced twenty-five yards along the sidelines before downed. It looked good for a score but the Aggie men caught up with the K. U. captain as he was forced out of bounds. A pass from Pringle to Nielsen net- (Continued on page 4)
