Football Stock Goes Up With Return of Players Not Expected This Year
Frank P. Mandeville and Other Gridiron Heroes May Be In Lineup Against Illinois
All candidates for Varsity football check out their suits today and report for practise at theatres at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon.
All candidates for the freshman team check out suits at the earliest possible moment at the west end of the gymnasium. Notice of time to report will be published later.
Stock in the University of Kansas football team took a big advance when W. O. Hamilton, manager of the Buckeyes, deville, the fast and speedy backfield man on last season's freshman队 probably would be back in school this fall for football. The back field will be the weakest part of the Jayhawker eleven when it lines up for the first game with the University of Illinois, October 6, and Coach "Bean" Olcott could easily use several good men in lugging of pigskin.
Other men who were not counted on may be out for the first practices next week. Earl Shim, the star end of last season, probably will be able to play through the football season, although the service may call him then. Scrubby Lastett will be back for the other end position, while Warren Woody and R. Ruble probably will be the guards.
At left tackle, there will be George Nettles, the man who was a tower of strength in the freshman line last season and who was one of the fastest men that the Varsity had to go up against last fall. There is a possibility of Jack Frost's returning to fill the other tack position, but if he does not, the coaches will have to pick a man from their last year's team. In addition to his material, unless Bob Marvin returns to the University, Jean Minor, the brilliant headed youth from Burlingame, is the logical player for center because of his great playing last year in snite of his light weight.
For the backfield, there will be Stem Foster at quarter, and possibly Eddie Todd. For the two halves, Pringle and Mandeville appear to be the best men because of their weight and speed. Other material for these two positions will have to be developed. With Captain Harry Nielsen back in the University, the trouble of the coaches in filling the position of fullback are over.
With Captain Swede Nielsen already in Lawrence ready for work, along with the return of F. M. Ziegler and Joe Casey, the expectations of a good team at the University were further strengthened. Casey was a star on the sophomore class team last fall when the team won the class championship. His speed off the field helped for the second year men had much to do with the victory. Ziegler was a good player at end on the junior team last fall, and he was a consistent player in the back field.
Soldiers to Play Baseball
Company M and Company H Cross Bats On McCook
Company H, the down town company, and Company M, the University of Kansas unit, of the First Kansas Regiment will meet in a baseball game four-fronted afternoon plan was to play a football game, but it was thought that many of the men were not in good enough shops for a game so soon in the season. It will be the first all University attendant to be given since K. U. has opened, a large crowd is expected.
Women students will be admitted free, but to others the admission will be 25 cents. The game will start at three o'clock. All money made from the game will be added to the company funds of the two organizations. As a special feature, there will be a drill by both companies before the game. This will be one of the closing games. The company will be able to swell their company fund, and men in the organization are working hard to get to shape for the game. The company fund, it was explained by members of the company, is used to provide the few extras or luxuries which he men otherwise would not have in amp.
Hamilton Will Continue
Cross Country Work Here
There will be no let-up in the cross country work this fall, and W. O. Hamilton, manager hopes to have as strong a team as that which finished second in the Missouri Valley Conference race last year. Rod Fedyck, track captain last year and for most of his career in the team will coach the team this fall. He is teaching history in the Lawrence high school this year.
If Rodkey is able to instill some of the great running qualities into his men that he has shown in his four years of track work at the University, the success of this year's cross squad is assured. Rodkey smashed a second time during thing like four times during his track career at the Jayhawker school, and is at present holder of the K. U. record for that distance. Besides running the half he was one of the strong runners on the relay team, and tried his hand at the quarter mile and two mile races. His work in the country runs of five miles were a feature of every run he entered.
No word has been received from Harry Rinker, captain of this year's team, but he is expected back in time for the first workouts. Stateler, who was another of the good runners, is in Lawrence, but is ineligible to compete this fall. Floyd Welsh, Clyde Dillon, and Groene all year later, are not expected back this year. Horrene, Groene may return and he would. The rest of the team will have to be taken from last year's material and the small freshman team which practiced last season.
No coach for the freshman football team has been named nor has the assistant coach been selected to assist Olcott. Manager Hamilton is waiting to see how large a squad turns out for the first practice Tuesday before he decides on whether he need another man to help Olcott. He needs Hamilton taking charge of the work in the department of physical education if the department is small and there is difficulty in obtaining a new man. Doctor James Naismith is away on Y. M. C. A. war work.
No Rhodes Scholarship This Year
The Rhodes scholarship will not be awarded this year, according to notice received by University authorities from George R. Parkin, secretary of the Rhodes scholarship trust. The regular examination for applicants will be held the same as usual for years 2 and 3, but the election will not be held until no year or possibly until the war is over. Appointments based on the examinations this year and the years following will be made after conditions become more settled.
Warren Wattles, senior in College spent the summer in Estes Park. Incidentally Mister Wattles Y. M. C. Aed the first part of the hot months and spent the last part of the year climbing mountains just for the fun of coming back down. This showed great thought on the part of Mister Wattles for some folks never even think of coming back.

"Tony" Now Gives Orders
To Former Gridiron Boss
D. L. (Tony) Toney took a few orders from L. B. McCarty, K. U. freshman football coach five years ago, but now the tables are reversed. Tony James is captain of Company B, Kansas Engineers, now encamped at Ft. Sill, Okla., and Coach McChair, being first sergeant in the unit, takes orders from his former rather adept pupil.
Two other star football men from the University of Kansas are in this same company. Bill Weidline and Harold Brownlee, both great players on the 1913 eleven, are first lieutenants in this engineering organization. The four would make a good nucelus for a football squad, K. U. fans believe.
