CROSS COUNTRY TEAM HAS CHANCE
Ames Coach Picks Kansas to Win Conference Run Saturday
TEAM IS IN CONDITION
Stateler, Rodkey and Groen Show Best Form of Year
With all the men running in better shape than at any other time this season, the K. U. cross country team appears to have a good chance of winning the Conference meet at Ames, Iowa, on Saturday, November 18. Welsh is the only man who is not in good shape. He has a bad foot, Dillon, Capt. Sherman, Rudy, and Scott. Rikke Rinker the team which leaves for Ames Friday morning at 6:45.

in the Western Conference meets for
the last four years and in that time
they have won three second places
and one fourth in the runs.
On the other hand the Kansas team has three veterans in Groene, Rodkey, and Stateler, with three of the best distance men in the school, Dillon, Rinker, and Welsh. All have been running in a united formation against the team that will represent Kansas Saturday will be a well balanced one. The cold weather has made the track suits "a la union" much in demand the past week.
K. U. easily outclassed the Kansas Aggies three weeks ago and the only other team in the meet besides Ames is Missouri. The Tigers are doped to be as weak as they were last year and little is feared from them. That leaves only Ames for Kansas to beat. This year they have Williams an old man back as captain and Hawthorne, a star miler from the field, took Hawthorne to the mile at the Val. He meets last spring and is easily Ames' best man. Rodkey was the first man in at the meet here last fall but the Ames runners placed several men after Rodkey before many Kansas men came in.
The meet Saturday will be run off before the Ames-Iowa game, the runners starting and finishing before the stands on State field.

"I think it was the one that was organized first," replied the student as he took his seat with a satisfied ex-pression.

UNEARTHS BONES OF ANCIENT MAN
Florida Scientist Finds Pre historic Human Remains In Rock Stratum
Dr. E, H. Sellards, '99, now state geologist of Florida, has made an important anthropological discovery. During the past year he has found human remains associated with fossils in the pleistocene stratum, thus establishing for the first time in America the fact that man was contemporaneous with the pleistocene period.
The details of the discovery are given in his paper in the Eighth Annual Report of the Florida Geological Survey, just published. In October, 1915, the first human skeletons were found on a rocky beach near Vero, on the Atlantic coast of Florida. In April, 1916, a bird bone with markings apparently made by some rude human instrument was found. The work was continued until there were found arrowheads, flint, and bone implements, and tusks and teeth of extinct animals. With these findings like others, With these were found other human skeletons, and bones of wolves, deer, and some extinct animals. Te condition of the fossils and the state of the upper stratum proved that the skeletons belonged there normally, and had not been introduced because they were difficult to identify that man was then making bone and flint tools, and was even doing some crude engraving on bone.
Doctor Sellars' discovery is recognized by American scientists as a very important one in its field, since it establishes for the first time the fact that man lived and worked in the distant pleistocene period.

But by way of explanation, here it the story: On last Wednesday night the University Club received the elicent speaker, a professor who The professors were enthusiastic and excited, and once during the evening, after aull of some moments, they were naturally more than surprised to receive this starling bit of information;
"Potter Lake goes dry by a big ma jority."
This message probably caused more comment than any other. Some of the pedagogues were inclined to take it as a prank of the student community, expressing themselves as ready to believe almost anything. The fact that some of the members of the engineering faculty were seen to gaze long and frequently towards Putter, the next student, was not without its significance.

The rooters waited eagerly for the chance to hear Coach Beau Olcott In his second speech before the K. U students since he has been in Kansas the K. U mentor explained the chances and dope for the Cornhuskier battle Saturday. The lack of overconfidence on the part of the Jayhawkers and of plucky determination was given as the basis for the hope of beating the Cornhuskers. The student support in the earlier games was praised and the desire for expansion of this spirit was pleaded for.
WE'RE NOT DEFEATED
Poty Clark, assistant mentor of the Kansas team, gave a rousing good talk and expressed his opinions of the Kansas spirit. He lamented that he had heard that he had been beaten by Nebula to beat Kansas. "We are not defeated now and it is absurd to believe that we are until the final whistle blows with the score against us," said Poty Clark, in part. "The Nebraska ends do not look any larger to me than the K and S on Kansas." The Nebraska ends will be as many of you think. We will prove by the score that K. U. is going to pile up against Nebraska."
A very effective speech was made by Hugo Wedell, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. The folly of the report that Nebraska was invincible was pointed out by a number of illustrations from other athletic fields.
GEDNEY TALKED
Cheerleader Gedney was on the job and his speech filled with the enthusiasm of the occasion did much to rouse the 800 rosters to great efforts. He pleaded for continued support during the remainder of the season and urged the students to make the most of their lives until the season was over.
The suspension of the date rule for the rally was generally conceded a detriment to the success of the rally. It is said that many persons who
