Coach Olcott Holds Practice In Rain to Prepare For Illinois
Twenty-seven Candidates Out For Practice, But Coach Needs More
Men Have Fighting Spirit
Will Scrimmage Haskell First Clear Day—And With Tyrus Friday
Despite the fact that spectator had to wear raincoats and stand be neat umbrellas, the Kansas football players continued their regular practice. There are but ten more days in which he will play with Illinois, so Coach Beau Oleott does not want to lose any time for practice.
The largest squad of the season was out for practice yesterday, but the coach still needs more men. A total of twenty-seven candidates were on the field. This still is a small Varsity squad however. Coach Olcott and教练 W. O. Smith are fifteen or twenty more men should report immediately, if Kansas is to develop a winning team.
One of the most commendable things about the squair is the spirit and earnestness with which the candidates go into the scrummages. Many have been busied out and placed on their bodies, but they get right into the work.
Captain Sweede Nielsen has one of the worst injuries. He has a gash over his left eye. It is a bad looking cut, but it is getting along all right and likely will heal in a few days. Simon will be worked, and Gearhart, who received a scalp wound, are back in the game.
An old player out yesterday for the first time who will strengthen the team considerably, was Scrubby Laslett, who just returned to school. He is a good end and won a reserve letter in him last year. He was considered a good teammate for Earl Shrink, who won his letter last year.
The candidates now out for the practice are: Captain Nielsen, Pringle, Bunn, Dennis, Liggett, Davidson, Casey, StevenSON, Woody, Gearhart, Davis, Wilson, Hilton, Wenzel, Arnold, Markley, Ziegler, Mower, Gregory, Idol, Jones, Gorrill, Laslett, Lonberg, Simon, and Nettles.
A feature of the practice yesterday afternoon was the military drill by the squad in charge of Corporal Roy S. Robins, of Company M. After a 15-minute drill the men were given the setting up exercises and trotted around Hamilton Field once before going to the showers.
The first real scrimmage of the season will be against the Haskell Indians on Hamilton Field, the first clear afternoon. It is possible that the squad will scrimmage several times with the Haskell Indians this week. The first Varsity-freshman scrimmage will be Friday afternoon.
The freshmen also held a practice in the rain on the field north of McCook but only a few reported, and after an hour's practice Coach Jay Bond sent the men to the showers. About twenty-five candidates already have come out for the team and it is probable that a squad of thirty or forty will be practicing by the end of the week.
Recruiting Office Makes New Appeal to Students
Uncle Sam's latest plan of recruiting has caused much comment on the Hill. Because the enlistment office at 635 Massachusetts Street believed there were students on the Hill who might be interested in the army, Lieutenant Eli Dorsey of Company He was detailed to paint signs that would call to the minds of the student fighters. Lieutenant Dorsey was a member of the School of Engineering last year.
In front of the Museum, "You can be a foreign euro collector and go to Europe," at first led the passing student to believe that the faculty was sending students to Europe to collect specimens for the Dyche Museum. And then the word "Enlist" told another story.
There was a bit of iron in the sign, "Uncle Sam will furnish your fall suit free," but the humor was equal to that of the sign that appeared on the walk in front of the Chemistry Building, "German gas fumes will make K. U. chemists feel at home."

Students Asked To Keep Campus Free From Paper
"The fall crop of red, green, and blue tobacco cans is thriving," says Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith, a member of committees on buildings and grounds. "Also, the automobiles, apparently of their own volition, are keeping the grass well down along the parkings."
Professor Goldsmith considers the work already done in beautifying the campus a good start, but urges greater co-operation on the part of the students in keeping the grounds free from papers and liter. A landscape gardner was employed last year to set out trees and shrubs, and this work probably will be continued. The committee is considering paving the campus drives, and putting in curbs and gutters. An appropriation of $3,500 has been allowed for campus upkeep and improvement.
At last the paymaster is due to arrive, and the Company M boys are rejoicing. They have had no money since the beginning of their camp here, and so, many feel handicapped in a financial way.
Company M Notes.
Seth Owens and Jim Snyder, have been promoted to buglers, taking the place of Ewart Plank, who was made sergeant, and Leonard Aker.
Again the rain forces the men to an enjoyable vacation. Captain F. E. Jones says the men now are drilled well enough, that a little more work is needed on sufficient polish to make a good show at the Ft. St. Cantonment.
Private Horn, who broke his ankle last week while playing basket-ball, is in the army hospital at Leavenworth. As the break is quite bad, it will be some time before he can be around again.
The formal "discharge" blanks were received yesterday. The men were transferred from the Kansas National Guard to the Federalized National Guard.
A few men have been taking their last lurfough before starting to Ft. Sill. Captain Jones has been lenient about this matter, and all the men appreciate it.
The University men will get at least two more meals cooked under
the supervision of "Brick." He is to prepare enough non-persianable food to last the "hungry heathen" two mess-calls on the train.
M. E. VesperSundays
The K. U. Methodist League started its weekly vespers last Sunday and, if the first meeting may be taken as a sign of the idea is going to work, there were nearly two inherited college people present at Myers Hall. Chancellor Strong spoke in an informal, intimate way, putting a few of the big problems of the day plainly before his audience. Good music was furnished by a vested quartet—a feature that will continue at all of the meetings. Next Sunday the vesper meeting will be addressed by Dean F. J. Kelly, of the department of education.
From the comment of several prominent freshmen on the Hill it is probable that few frosh will appear this year without their inherited caps. This sentiment is not all due to class patriotism on the part of the frosh, it appears, as some are quite doubtful if the Senate ruling will "stay the rod" when they leave the campus.
Freshmen are Willing To Wear Little Caps
There also are rumors among the yearlings that the "Laws" have various effective ways of punishment for failure to appear properly rigged, which are not affected by the Senate's ruling. How many good boys can not be estimated, but few freshmen are going to take chances.
While most yearlings probably will govern themselves by what might happen if they neglect their' caps, many are followers of tradition and will do as their fathers did when they were in school and as their fathers instructed them to do when they left home.

From the famous story by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman
John L. Rogers' latest song, "Going Over," has been dedicated to Company M. The men say it promises to be a bigger hit than, "I Love to Sing the Old Songs Once Again." The copy is now in the hands of the publishers and a thousand prints are expected the last of this series on the Hill as was the other, the proceeds going to the company fund.
John Rogers Dedicates New Song to Company M
The chorus is as follows:
"We're going, we're going, we're going right on over
We're going to go to France.
We're going, we're going, we're going.
Thursday—ANITA STEWART in "A MESSAGE OF THE MOUSE"
