Urgent Need of Food Starts Campaign for National Prohibition During War
A huge campaign for national prohibition was launched today and data is being gathered from every state in the Union by the War Council at Washington on the advisability of having a dry nation during the war. Telegraphs were sent to members of the U.S. Army and the War Council and the answer these members send back undoubtedly will be strongly in favor of prohibition.
Almost at the same instance members of the faculty started a petition appealing to the President and to Congress for legislation prohibiting the consumption of food products in the manufacture of intoxicating liquors. It is being signed rapidly by students as well as faculty members.
The campaign for national prohibition is being pushed by the board of temperance of the prohibition society at Washington. Some of their circulations call attention to the fact that the breweries could be used for munition factories or in the manufacture of explosives, and that many of the transs were tracked nineteen years ago in the Spanish-American war to let beer trains pass.
The conservation of food products in a great war is an obvious necessity European countries have realized. Various forms of prohibition have been adopted by many of the warring nations. The Teutonic allies have fought for more than twenty All the grain used in making beer and other intoxicating liquors would be saved for food if prohibition is established in this country.
SPORT BEAMS
Potys's freshman players are furnishing the Varsity nine stiff competition. In a five inning practice game yesterday afternoon, they rumped on the Varsity nine for a 3 to 2 score.
The Varsity nine consisted of all the regular players with the exception of Fenton Baker in the box and Schoenefelt at third base. Schoenefelt has been showing up well and will probably be used at third in the game at St. Marys tomorrow afternoon. The Varsity lineup as it stands
at present is Carter, Poirier, Craig,
and Mmee; p, Chase, Ib; Lindsey, B2;
Bschoenfel, ib; Prntt, sa; Smee, If;
Steele, Steele; Bacock, Icock,
and Weber or Taylor, rf.
The freshmen played a tight gamalthough the lineup was changed from that which played against the Varsity Wednesday. The lineup yesterday was: Davis, c; Schoepel and Duxed Weld, p; Machaher, 1b; N insenberger, 2b; Lonborg, 3b; Wenzel, cs; Caler, If; Smith, cf; Gregory, rf.
It may have been a coincidence, but the two runs scored against the freshmen were made while Dutch was in the box.
Although the freshmen romped on the Varsity the last two practice games, it does not mean the Jayhawkers are getting poorer or will have a weak team. The adverse scores may be accounted for by the fact that the new Varsity lineup is not used to playing together and the freshmen are playing a first-class brand of ball.
A larger squand of Varsity players was out yesterday than for several days. Red Craig, Lindsey, Arbuthnot, and Kirkson were out but been out for about a week because of the third-quarter examinations in the School of Law. Lindsey missed twice as he was in Topaka looking up possession in the engineering company in
A new pitching plate was added to the improvements on the McCook diamond yesterday. The mound also was put in first-class shape.
The Jayhawker track men held their regular practice yesterday in preparation for the Drake relay meet, and the runners made good time on the heavy track. Capt. Fred Rodkey said he believed Kansas would make an exceptionally good showing in the meet.
The Jayhawker women athletes have started active practice for the interclass swimming meet which will be held about the first of May. Coach Hazel Pratt said the women would have the use of the pool on Mondays and Thursdays and also at four-thirty o'clock on the other days.
The tennis courts are being put into better condition. The "Too Wet to Play On" sign is up put yesterday, and the court will be dry in no condition as soon as they dry off.

U. S. WILL WIN WAR
U. S. WILL WIN WAR "The food situation is going to help win the war," continued Miss Fell. "Now that the United States has entered every man, woman and child should do something to overcome the threat of violence. In those cases we are over 800,000 women doing work in the field who never did before the war. Every man, woman and child in the United States can be patriotic without going to the front. Every citizen in the United States should plant something in every available plot of ground."
