15 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Basketball Practice To Begin Thursday Night At Robinson Gymnasium Team New Men Urged to Come Out For Practice And Make The Kansas basketball tossers will hold their first practice at 7 o'clock Thursday night in Robinson Gymnastium, according to an announcement by Captain Dutch Uhrlaub this morning. As only two letter men from last year's squad are back it is essential that every player eligible for the Varsity quintet should come out of school. And most of them may be back from last season's squad are Captain Urlubl and Scrubby Lalett. Kansas took four place in the valley basketball race last winter, although the Jayhawker basket-tossers piled up a pointage of 10.5 percent during the season. The team started out in championship form, but took a slump about the middle of the season and never recovered. K. U. won the first seven successive games and the Missouri Kansas Aggies in the Missouri valley champions. During the season Kansas also won from Missouri, Nebraska, Washington University, Iowa Aggies, Kansas Normals, and Washburn. SPORT BEAMS Only seven men were out for the first cross country practice Monday. Coach Fred Rodkey wants at least twice that many athletes out for the team this year. He urges that they start work at once so that they may take advantage of the plan to run only short distances for the first two weeks. Later, the regular five-mile course will be run. Fritz Meyn, 210-pound center of the 1915 Jayhawker machine drove up from Kansas City yesterday afternoon to see the Varsity scrimmage Haskell. He thinks K. U. has a great team this year and that he would rather play on this team than any Olcott has coached. Kansas is due to clean the Valley according to Meyn, Beau Olcott having been here long enough now to get a real team together. The heady piloting of the team and the fast end runs of Captain Black featured the play of the Haskell team yesterday. Simon, the fast but light fallback, seems to be a real find for the Varsity. He is fast and elusive and he broke away several times in yesterday's practice after being tackled. Track Men Meet Thursday Clarence Gorrill, c18, who is trying out for football, suffered an injury in last night's scrimmage that may keep him out of the game the remainder of the season. Gorrill made a good tackle but in doing so dislocated his shoulder. The accident is a tune both the team and the team coach at the specialty half was counted on as a strong member is the squad's backfield. All track men in the University are urged to meet at the new training sheds on McCook Field, Thursday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Men interested in cross country work are especially wanted to be at the meet- Hot chocolate, whipped cream and wafers,10c a cup at Wjedemann's.— Adv. Apricot ice made from the fruit.

Women Will Make Up Choral Union This Year The Choral Union this year, for the first semester at least, is to have only women members, if present plans work. The reason for this, according to President Arthur Nevin, who conducts the union, is on account of the scarcity of men signers in the University. The first meeting of the union was held last week, and at that meeting fifty members enrolled. The next meeting is scheduled for tonight. The members now, according to Professor Mendelssohn, are in contact with Mendelssohn and one by Beethoven. The chief aim of the union is to show the community there is nothing hard or elusive in the study of music. Another purpose is to cultivate in the people a desire and a fondness for good music. The union will give its first concert about two weeks before Christmas. Another concert will be given Easter. Y. W. Workers Review Conference At Hollister The Y. W., C.

At present the Kansan business manager is starting a campaign for alumni subscriptions. A special rate of one dollar for a subscription last August until December 5 is being offered.

Quench your thirst at our pretty little fountain -POLITICIANS You want to reach the voters—yes, you'd like to talk to each one of them, individually and there is a way that you can! THAT WAY IS THROUGH THE ADVERTISING COLUMNS OF THE DAILY KANSAN I'll place it right up to your good judgment—every student-voter reads the DAILY KANSAN, you are reading it now! And when they read the KANSAN, it is before dinner or after—when they are in a receptive state of mind for argument,—to read your message to the voter. If advertising will sell overcoats, shoes, candy, food, amusement, jewelry—in fact everything—then why won't it be instrumental in showing voters the RIGHT way to vote. Call me up this evening at Bell 334, or drop in at the DAILY KANSAN office tomorrow morning. Can you meet that same condition with the "passing-glance" handbill or card? Sincerely, Oct. 3, 1917.
