OLCOTT SAYS "BEAT NEBRASKA"
Kansas Can Get Valley Championship by Defeating the Cornhuskers
TEAM HAS THE "STUFF"
The "Beat Nebraska" spirit has descended upon the Jayhawk camp with all the earnestness and seriousness of the proverbial Kansas cyclone-and, judging from present indications, those Cornhuskers are going to have a mighty tussle on their hands on November 18 when the Jayhawk goes to Lincoln, U. has once won the championship; and she is going after it. A victory over Nebraska will turn the trick.
Practice In Mud Last Night as "Safety First" Measure Against Washburn
"Play the game as you played it last Saturday," Coach Olcott told his men last night, "and there's no reason why you shouldn't have the Valley Championship. I am confident that you can keep going as you went last Saturday—and I am confident that you will."
PRACTICE IN MUD
And right after that there was so much spirit turned loose on the gridiron that not even the soggy field and the damp weather could interfere with the Jaywalker plays! The remainder of the practice was as full of spirit as was the game against the Sooners.
Because of the rain yesterday, it was announced that practice would be held in Robinson Gymnasium; but after assembling his players there and finding that the gym floor wasn't even big enough for a moderately lively signal practice, Coach McCarthy took the men down east on tennis courts on Wednesday. Signal practice on courses were tried, but there was no scrimmage. The only scrimmage of the week will be held tonight on McCook Field, Coach McCarty's freshmen using Washburn tactics. The practice will be secret.
The Kansas mentors are not taking any chances on losing to Washburn Saturday. They know that Bert Kennedy, the Iachob coach, would give almost anything if his team could defeat K. U., and they reason that Coach Luckenbach is the best mentors in the Valley. Consequently, Kansas fans do not look for a large score against the Washburnites. Another factor which will keep the score down is Coach Olecott's plan of using a large number of men during the game, and he must have worked the second string man a chance to play. The regulars are being saved for the Nebraska game.
ONLY TWO MEN OUT
All the games thus far have been close, and the coaches have been forced to let their regulars do the playing. Saturday the entire squad will make the trip to Topeka, and it will be the regulars will be used in a play.
Only two men on the squad are still unable to play because of injuries. Speed Heath is still out of the game, and Todd, though he reports at practice in a suit, has a limp which interferes with his activity considerably.
INVESTIGATE GRAPE FRUIT
Food Laboratory Analyzes for Traces of Sweating
The food laboratory in the department of chemistry is busy with the analysis of grape fruit for the State Board of Health. They are helping to develop a new system on by the federal government of the process of sweating grape fruit.
In order to get their product on the market early, growers ship grape fruit before it is fully mature. When it arrives it is in put cars and sweated until it appears ripe. The result is an inferior, tasteless fruit. The government opposes this practice, and is having an empirical analysis made. A part of the proportion of acid and total solids proves whether or not the fruit has been sweated.

WOMEN TACKLE MOST ANYTHING
They Ask Extension Division for Information on Music, Babies and Art
There isn't any subject club women won't tackle. They ask for material on everything from babies and hygiene to politics and government. They want help on such localized and remote topics as "Colonial Colleges in New York," and their wants range through all phases of art, the drama, music, politics, and government ownership. Then to show that not all of their energy is expended on them, "high brow" subjects, ask for material on these subjects as "Hygiene or Euengey" and "Foods." This is the testimony of the secretary of the general information department of the Extension Division who handles the requests for general information that come from in all parts of the state, from club women, schools students, and many others.
Following are a few of the subjects taken at random from recent requests: Pilgrim's Progress, American Living Poets, Evening Schools, History of Fashion, Noted People in Modern Literature, Kipling, The Irish Drama, Dante, Has the 20th Century Progress Diminished Woman's Work, Landseer, Dutch Landscape Painters, Schismman Heink, City Manager, Phones, History of Opera, French Quarter, History of St. Louis, Development of Orchestra Music in America, Social Centers, and Community Problems.
In the requests from schools, the material most often asked for is that on Government Ownership, Immigration, The Rural Credits Bill, The Adamson Law, and such current topics.
