"A HARD GAME"
---UNCLE JIMMY
Famous Football Prophet Looks For Hardest Game of Season Tomorrow
"I'm not prophesying today," said Uncle Jimmy Green, the grand old man of the School of Law. He looked up from the volume he was reading, and saw, as he did to pierce the veiled future. He paused. Then he reiterated:
"No, I'm not prophesying today, but I'll say this much: Kansas will have a hard battle with Missouri on Thanksgiving Day. The Missourians need to win and fight hard. And the dope is against us. As gathered from the
DICK BURTON, tackle
Ames, Aggie and Sooner games, the dope is a trifle in favor of Missouri." The tense expression on Uncle Jimmy's face relaxed as he adjusted his glasses and added, "But the Kansas Spirit is rising, and it is this rising spirit that may decide the game.
"When I say Kansas Spirit, I mean the way the football boys themselves feel about it. Of course, the big campus demonstrations have a direct beneficial effect on the players and assure them that the student body is counting on every Kansas player doing his duty, but what really counts is: How do the players feel? How is their spirit?"
Although the dope is a trifle against us, the dean of the School of Law explained that we don't have to throw up our hands and say, 'No use!' The dope was against us at Nebraska, but we won. Our players were defeated by the Kansas Spirit—loyal and dominant—and the dope was upset.
"That trip to Lincoln did me good," continued Uncle Jimmy, lapping into a happy reminiscent mood. "The Kansas Spirit was everywhere, it seemed. I sat in the third row from the top in the middle of the Kansas section and was almost deafened by the cheering of our crowd."
As to the legal aspect of the coming Kansas-Missouri encounter, Uncle Jimmy delivered the opinion: "We know it must be wise."
"We have a right to win. And who can deny it?

Men's Student Council Arranges Smoker for Football Squad
The date for the annual smoker given by the Student Council in honor of this year's football squad is set for December 13
"In order to have a reasonable price for the smoker the chances are that there will be no eats but a program is being arranged which is to provide some of the smoke will also be plenty of good smokes," said Paul R. Greene this morning.
Manager Hamilton is making arrangements with the Kansas City Athletic Club for a boxing match. In addition to this contest Coach Olcott, Potty Clark, Chancellor Strong, Uncle Jimmy Green, Captain Lindsey and daughter Will will be involved in the speakers. Plans are being made for a farce and music.
Uncle Jimmy Green as in previous
titles, and Emma Kraca as the 1916
team on this occasion.
MGR. HAMILTON DOESNT HAVE TIME TO GO HOME
Manager W. O. Hamilton is the busiest man in Lawrence this week. Outside of seeing that 16,000 persons have the seats they want at the game, he has to take care of them, taken care of, that the game will go off without a hitch, the K. U. manager has nothing to do. However, the people who have business to transact with him make the sad mistake of not having a place where they have time to go home these days.
Business can be transacted with Manager Hamilton at his office and four secretaries are on hand to aid in the work. Otherwise no one knows where Manager Hamilton can be found.

TYRO SQUAD GETS LITTLE PRAISE
R. H. Viner
First Year Men Take Pounding of Varsity Throughout Season
Some credit for the good showing of the Jayhawk football team should be given to the strong freshman team. The twenty odd men on this squad report for practice in order to learn the plays which the Kansas scouts have brought back and scrimming against the Varsity. These men get all the drudgery out of the season's work and very little of the pleasure and honor.
Season
The squand this year while probably not as good as the one of last year has gained more yards on straight football than the team last year. Taken on the whole the freshmen this year are rather light averaging only about 160 pounds but what they lack in weight they make up in fight.
A number of the men on the yearling team this year appear to be Varsity caliber but it is doubtful if they will make the Varsity record of the squad that precedes them. Seven of the men who started the Nebraska game played on the freshman squad last year.
After the final practice for the first year men Monday night the squad started a miniature rally. Yellas for the Varsity were repeated time after time and the regulars may well feel disappointed by the lack of supporters of the team at the game tomorrow. The Varsity held a rally to praise the work of the tyros.
The press box over the south boxes has just been remodeled and a roof placed over it for the first time. Probably the reason for this was the fact that the weather forecast for this week was not of the best, and the reporters must write no matter what it had to say. Our box has it now been finished will accommodate fifty persons and, according to Manager Hamilton, nearly all available space will be taken for Thursday's game.

SEARCHLIGHTS ARE USED
FOR NIGHTFALL PRACTICE
This year for the first time the team practiced with the use of searchlights. Two powerful lights were installed this season so that the team could get ahead of the shortening days and obtain the required amount. These were placed, one on each side of the field, at the top of the bleachers.
The footballs used were dipped in white paint so that the forward passes and punts could easily be seen. This method of practice was pronounced a success because it permitted players to sticking to the field late would still be able to get in at least a short workout to keep him in trim.
Many Footballs Used
Three dozen footballs have been used in practice and in the games of the present season. This shows, in one way, the amount of real work the players must do in the game. These balls are all kept by Manager of Athletics Hamilton and given to the principals of the city ward schools. The boys of the vari- Schools then put the finishing touch on old age onto these spoils of victory.
