Kansas Defeats Ames 7 to 0 By Long Pass Near Close Of Game
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 29, 1917.
Jayhawkers Win First Conference Game by Excellent Team Work
Teams Evenly Matched
Neither Eleven Near Goal Line Until Last Quarter of
The Jayhawkers, playing the best game yet this season, beat Ames Saturday afternoon on McCook Field, 7 to 0. A long pass for twenty-five yards, Pringle to Lonlomb, did the trick, for Lonlomb covered the ten yards in the back for the Ames tacklers at his heels for the only score of the frame.
It was not the individual work of any one player that won the game for the Kansans, but the combined efforts of the whole team. To mention the stars would be to name every man who battled the Iowa eleven. The victory sends Kansas football stock upward, because Ames beat the Tigers last week at Ames 15 to 0, with all the Missouri stars in the line-up.
AMES ATTEMPTED DROP KICK
AMES ATTEMPTED MOB* KUR
Kansas punched fifteen times during the
seven times. Foster had a slight margin on
the average length of punts.
MORE FIGHT IN LAST HALF
The best play the Cyclones got away for in the first quarter was a 23-yard run around right end Boyd, the tiny Iowa quarterback. Aside from that he did well against Kansas from the Kansas 43-yard line, there was little to mention in the first quarter, and the second period was almost a repetition. Lonborg made some good tackles and Nettels at left tackle was through the line on every play, doing everything he has done this fall, the half ended with the ball on the Ames 32 yard line.
McFarland went in for Boyd at quarter on account of a slight injury to the speedy Ames backfield man. Kansas started the second half with much more fight than the first half of the game, Pringle, Mandeville and Foster carrying the ball in better fashion than before.
Some exchanges of punts gave Kansas a slight advantage. Johnson and Aldrich, who were the best ground gainers for Coach Mayser's men, made first down for their team in two plays. However, a few minutes later, Kananawanda had stopped the lows' final attack by intercepting a pass.
LONBORG MAKES TOUCHDOWN
Captain Nielsen made a flashy run when he sped with the ball around left end for a 24 yard gain. The whole Kansas backfield ran interference and literally swept aside the attempt to stop Nielsen. The ball was on the Iowans 23 yard line and the closest it had been to their goal.
The fourth quarter opened as Nielsen carried the ball for two yards and Foster failed to reach Lonborg with a pass. The next pass from Pringle to Lonborg, was across the goal line it fell to the ground. A 42 yard kick placed a 15 yard pass by Foster placed the ball on the Aggress 8 yard线.
Two 5 yard smashes a few minutes later by Nielsen and Pringle, were partly offset by another 15 yard penalty. Pringle then dropped back for two yards before being hurled the ball for 25 yards to Lonborg, who grabbed the ball as it struck an Ames man and dashed the remaining ten yards in spite of two Ames tacklers. Foster kicked out to Lonborg and Lonborg kicked a perfect goal.
CYCLONES ATTEMPT PASSES
Coach Mayer sent in several new men and the Cyclones opened up a series of length passes. Paul went in for Jager at right end, probably because he is good at receiving passes. The second pass to him was good for 20 yards. Another, Aldrich to Vanderpoo, was good for 7 yards.
A 25-yard pass, Neal to Aldrich, looked like a touchdown but Foster was in the way and downed his man. This put the ball on the 25 yard line and Ames looked dangerous. Two more passes were good but no until Kansas had held for downs and Foster had the back call into Ames territory.
The men of Mayser attempted thirteen passes after the Jayhawkers scored.
Supply Store Opens
A general supply which will handle all the general supplies that students need from drug sundries up to athletic goods has been started by Rowlands at 1237 Oread. Their slogan is, "a little bit of everything." No text books will be kept. Everything in the general supply line for which students have always had to go to town may now be obtained on the Hill.
Compulsory Drill
This article was given out by the department of physical education and University health authorities in ex-commissioned compulsory exercise ruling;
In requiring all students in the University to take daily some form of regular, systematic, and directed exercise, the Senate of the University of Kansas has taken a great step toward the true ideal in education—a trained mind in a healthy vigorous body.
The recent army and navy physical examinations have revealed the appalling and shameful fact that about 50 per cent of the very prime of American manhood is defective. Think of it! The chances are about even, in a student, that your body is normal, or in a stage of beginning degeneration.
Degeneration diseases are largely due primarily to over eating and overtaxing the organs of excretion. Accumulated waste products, the direct symptoms of which are headaches, nervous overstrain, lassitude, and disposition, etc., then initiate the degeneration diseases. Retention of energy is a property of inactivity. Systematic and regular exercise is essential to the well-being of every organism. The professor, the graduate, the student in the professional school, the senior, the junior, are in even greater need of regular daily physical exercise than the sophomores and freshmen. Professional men are beginning to appreciate the role of exercise in the intensive athletic clubs, and golf links in every large city are evidences of this keen realization.
In America we have reduced through education, the death rate from tuberculosis, typhoid fever, and the various diseases of childhood, but the so-called degenerative diseases of young children are still alarming degree. These diseases include for the most part retrogressive changes in the heart, blood vessels, kidneys and other organs. So slowly and imperceptibly these degenerative diseases arise well on to the irreparable stages before corneitis is taken of them.
Fundamentally then, prescribed daily exercise is a health measure. Its aim is to maintain a healthy working body. All male students will be directed to take military drill. Our present national emergency demands this. Again, no other form of exercise is of greater value.
Daily, prescribed, systematic exercise has other objects in view. I increase mental efficiency. Contrast the vim and high spirit with which one begins his studies after a brisk walk, with that lassitude which accompanies an attempt at intellectual work following an afternoon of inactivity in order to come from Again it is a fact that if the motor cells of the brain are destroyed, the muscles innervated by these nerves completely degenerate and disappear. The converse is also true. There is a corresponding atrophy of nerve cells when the muscles are permitted to atrophy from disease Healthy muscles—healthy nerves—healthy of the University of the United States of universal exercise, should be increased from ten to twenty-five per cent.
Every effort will be made by the Department of Physical Education to
It is the aim of the Department of Physical Education to provide for some daily healthy and beneficial recreation for every student in the University. What a splendid sight it looks! Students with students, during the hours allotted, engaged in some genuine, healthy, and joyful recreation.
Then there are the various more or less specialities of physical education, where special skill is desired. Both intramural and inter-compete committee programs and gymnasy, including various games and track work. Competition is an inate American attribute. The right kind of competition is highly desirable. Special proficiency in all forms of physical activity is essential to many students for various purposes.
Regular prescribed exercises should have the aesthetic phases in view. Why should not every student be concerned with the harmonious development and adjustment of the various parts of the body. We want to develop symmetry of form, attain physical poise. Yes, we want to train our bodies at high level and surround them with the imagination that was once typical of the ancient Greeks.
The college student should be a model of physical perfection. He should be the embodiment of strength, poise, dexterity, and culture. To him, the nation at large must look for its paragon of physical development. "He walks like a soldier," is a well known phrase associated with the vejo of a university type of physique? The caricatured stoopshouldered, hollow chested, bespectacled invalid, often used in representing the college graduate, will then be changed.

Sour Owl Will Fly In Football Attire Date OfCornhuskers' Game
In Meantime Owls Are Sequencing Campus For Choice
Watchful Owls are scouting the campus day and night to get choice bits of news on K. U. notables. The artists are busy using cartoons ready for the football edition which the November issue will be. The ads involving local merchants to put ads into the Owl.
The day of the Nebraska game is the date set for the next appearance of the Sour Owl, the University comic book. In the meantime "watch your step."

"We are anxious to get contributions of a suitable nature to run in the magazine," said Lawson May, the editor, today. "The pages of the publication are open to every student and faculty member.
Military Training Work Will Begin At Once With Class for Officers
The "Pepper Pot" will be a big feature of the new magazine. It is the section given over to the happenings on the Hill that do not get into the daily paper. The stories for the section are being written every day. Most anyone may be subject of the writetips, so be careful.
"The November issue is going to be a much better magazine than we have put out this year. In the September number we had little material to work on, but now we have lots of contributors and hope to make the football number a representative Owl."
Woman's Forum will meet Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 in 205, Fraser. Elizabeth Sprague will talk about K. U. All women are invited.
Gym Students and Track Men Start Today But No Military Exercise
Real Drill On November 5
Every Man Enrolled Expected Out On That
Monday, November 5, has been set for the beginning of regular work in military training. On that day every one who has enrolled for military training should report at Robinson Gymnasium at the hour for which he enrolled. This week will be devoted to try-out drills for officers and noncommissioned officers, beginning Oclare. Oclare the gymnasium. Only those try out must report this week.
(Signed) E. M. Briggs,
Little is being done today at the University of Kansas toward compulsory military drill, although plans are nearly complete for the program which will be carried out. Cross country running and gymnasium work will start today. Because many of the new men doing the distance work are unemployed to the door, work during cold weather, Fred Rodkey will see that the new members get a fair share of indoor work at first.
Regular work in military training will not start until November 5, but on that day all who have enrolled for the week must attend Gymnasium at the appointed hour. This week will be devoted to try-out drills for officers and non-commissioned officers, beginning Tuesday before graduation. No other men need report this week.
This morning many students unused to the present system of going to their first class at 8 o'clock were late to their classes even after the first period. No classes will be held after 4 o'clock, for this time will be used by students to exercise or take military drill. No library or class materials are allowed during these hours. Just what effect this arrangement will have on the grades of the students is still a doubtful question.
One thing is certain. Every student in the University will get his share of exercise every week. Already several new assistants and instructors have been added to the teaching staff of the department of physical education. Convocations mean that there will be no more University convocations unless some other arrangement is made.
The cross country men who think that the distance work is to be easy will be badly fooled the first week. Today, on account of the snow and cold weather, Rodkey will make the use use the indoor track, but they will be required to go around the indoor course eighteen times. Rodkey firmly believes that they will go the full distance.
Student And Faculty Subscriptions to Loan Went Over $5000 Mark
Sale Closed Saturday Noon— Organizations May Buy
Liberty Loan Bond sales at the student check stand in Fraser passed the $5,000 mark last Saturday at noon, by $50. Although Saturday had sold less than half of the Douglas County Bankers Association sent in their subscription for $200,000 of bonds and these will be pro-rated among the banks according to their deposits. Thus it will be easy for them to accommodate students who want to save money and be subscribed to subscribe or later found out that they could buy an additional one.
The question of fraternities and sororites buying bonds will be definitely settled at their meetings tonight. Several failed to subscribe but indulged in the need after consideration. Phi Gamma Delta's subscription for $300, was the largest received from any social organization. The list includes Phi Kappa Phi Delta Beta Sigma Phi Sigma Signa Sigma Phi Sigma Phi Beta Pi, medical fraternity. The sororites were Gamma Phi Beta, and Phi Beta Pi.
Reduce Use of Sugar By Limiting Consumer
Lawrence bakers and confectioners are endeavoring to reduce the use of sugar. No government regulations have been received, but they are expected about the first of November. From then on it is probable, the recipe for cakes, pies, cakes, or cookies can be made. Iced cakes, at least, will be taboed.
"We can do nothing and we wish to do nothing contrary to government interest or public sentiment," said a Lawrence candy-maker today.
Bakers are unable to obtain more than two sacks of sugar a week, and consumers can buy only fifty cents' worth of sugar at a time. The shortage is due to the fact that the beet sugar crop is not yet on the market.

The driver of the moving van which conveyed the Ames players to McCook evidently was no Ames adherent. When Kansas went over the line they shared the attention of the crowd with him. For Rastus was doing a regular double shuffle buck-and-wing on top of the moving van.
It wouldn't be so bad to go to 5 o'clock classes if we thought we were going to the Senate. The president would consider setting up a half hour. It's all the same.
The laws do get real frolcisome at times even though the spirit of their school is not so noticeable as in previous years. Wednesday was Liberty Day and the senior laws after thoroughly arguing the question among themselves decided to take a vacation. Of course it would have been entirely too rude to have left within hours. So what Prof. Edil Obstine told me into his class room the following message stared him in the face:
"Goodbye Eddie. We've gone to buy a Liberty Bond."
Thursday the Laws came back
on the black board.
"Final examination Thursday afternoon over all the work covered this week."
It was signed Eddie.
A father came home the other day and asked his daughter if she were going to the "Jerusalem Jazz." We understand she has had quite a time persuading him that it was "Journalism Jazz."
One of the leading freshmen engineers stalled into a fair young high school maiden Saturday night at Mrs. Brown's party, and in order to save any embarrassment later, gave her an assumed name. During the course of the evening, he forgot that he was traveling incognito, and blurted out his real name. It took him all the rest of the evening to convince her he could understand him the time. And the next morning he couldn't remember her name, which was also probably an alias. Another busted romance.

There are more ways than one—Merie Ruble takes bacteriology. His instructor asked him for a dissertation on the effects of typhoid inoculation. Merle pulled out his watch, looked at it carefully, and said.
“Really, its only three minutes until the whistle blows and I couldn't even get started to tell all I know in that short time.”
Men preferring signal corps training to regular infantry drill should make application for enrollment in the new code classes being organized. Do not miss mass hour 4 to 6 o'clock and 3 hours Satud day morning, can be devoted to the work. Enrollment may be made through the gymnasium office.

November 23, Date Set By Brady for Soph Hop; Foster To Name Price
Announcement Follows Conference With Registrar and Adviser of Women
Cut Unnecessary Expense
Following a conference this morning with Registrar George O. Foster and Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women. Wiliam Rip Brady, manager of the Sophomore Hop and members of the Hop committees decided to make the date of the big class dance Friday, November 23.
Class Party Will be Simple But Substantial, Says Management
"The decision followed agitation by sophomores and seniors who had paid their dues in their second year to give the party before the unsettled conditions relative to the new draft plans should interfere with the Hop plans as they time when the Hop is usually given" is the way Brady explains the change.
"The twenty-third was the only suitable date before Christmas and with the new plans decided on, I think the students and faculty will cooperate with the Hop management in making it the big event of the year."
REGISTRAR TO SET PRICE
At the conference with Registrar Foster when his sanction was gotten for the change in date it was decided to make the class party one of simplicity with the saving to go to the student. The price will be set by the Registrar after the cost of putting on the party has been determined.
Brady has instructed his committees in getting the plans in shape for the party to adhere to rigid economy where such can be done without endangering the success of the big party.
Mrs. Mrs. Brown says she will cooperate in every way to make the Hop a big event. She particularly endorses the idea of cutting out all unnecessary ex-haustion by letting the cost of the dance regulate the amount to be paid for admission.
Rehearsals for the farce will start immediately as the cast has already been ready.
WON'T CUT QUALITY OF PARTY
"I in saying that we are to cut out all unnecessary expense we do not mean to say that we will not put on just as enjoyable party as before," said Brady, "but heretofore no effort will be made. We will have suitable music for the event. There will be satisfactory refreshments and a good farce. The committees have already begun their part of the work and their effort to save will have as much to do with the success of the party as will the comparative buying of material for the affair."
The class party will be handled through the Registrar as the first big University affair under the new antigraft regime. There will be no effort at that of the Hop and nothing will be paid for the management of the party.
K. U. Pledges $11,000 At Y.M. Meeting Headed By Sherwood Eddy Fri.
"America Does Not Realize That Sacrifice is Necessary"—Mrs. Eddy
---
K. U. easily led all Kansas colleges in subscribing to the international student's friendship fund of the Y. M. C. A. at Topka Friary when thirty-eight delegates pledged $1,000 of the total of $38,250 subscribed by Kansas colleges. Haskell contributed $1,000.
A campaign will soon be undertaken here at the University to help swell the fund. Chancellor Strong, Hugo Wedell, secretary of the Y. M., Kathrine Duffield, secretary of the Y. W., the presidents of the Y. M. and Y. S. W., the presidents of S.G. A. and the Student Council, a class presidents, constitute a committee which will work out the details of the campaign.
The conference was featured with talks by: George Sherwool Eddy, at both the state conference of faculty members and the general Y. M. C. A. member; and the experience last year in the Y. M. bats huts in France; Chancellor Strong of the University; Dad Elliott, of Chicago of the International Y. M. C. A. told of the prison camp secretary at the Great Lakes writing camp and Miss Eliza Butter, member of the national Y. W. C. A. board.
