TO PRACTICE BY NIGHT
Electric Lights And a "Ghost Ball" To Be Used After Dark
Five hundred or more K. U. football fans are expected to accompany the Jayhawkers to Topeka Saturday when they invade the capital city for a little tussle with Coach Kennedy's Washburnites. A special train over the Santa Fe will leave Lawrence at 6:40 o'clock Saturday morning and will return at 9 o'clock that evening. Tickets for the game have been received at Manager Hamilton's office, and they were placed on sale this morning.
"Practice by night" under two high powered electric lights will be the in invation at Hamilton Field this after noon. Practice yesterday was cut short by the early darkness; and, in order to insure a proper length of workouts, Manager Hamilton has ordered two 200-candlepower light globes, which will be placed on the field in time for practice tonight. If the experiment proves successful, the lights will be purchased and placed in position permanently. If the light will be used after dark. A "ghost ball" is a football painted white and used when it is too dark to see a common one.
LIGHT WORKOUT YESTERDAY
LIGHT WORKOUT LISTER
Coach Oculto putt through a ball on Thursday, a day behind yesterday behind closed gates. The Varsity went through a signal drill and then worked on some new plays for use against Nebraska. The game with Washburn is not considered a hard one, and the Jayhawkers are playing toward the big mix-up on the muskulovers in Lincoln on November 18.
During the latter part of the practice last night, Coach McCarty's yearlings tried a number of Nebraska formations against the Jayhawkers. After working on the defensive for the greater part of the scrimmage, the Varsity took the ball long enough to score on the freshmen. A forty-yard forward pass—one of the longest successful ones ever staged on McCook—was the feature of the Jayhawkier play. A mixture of passcs and old-style football was used to gain the rest of the distance.
HOLD SECRET PRACTICE
Secret practice is the practice for today's practice. Only two or three times a week for the remainder of the season, secret practices will be held.
NEWSPAPER WORK LOSES ROMANCE
Covering Election Gives Kan san Cubs Touch of Real Life
Yes sir! They are real cub reporters! No more personalis and "Plain Tales" for them! They were reporting real news for a real city daily. Regarding this practical exercise, business—they received some of it!
The foregoing is the report of the Newspaper I cubs who were working on the Journal-World and Daily Gazette during the election excitement. S. O. Rice and F. B. Thayer, of the department of journalism faculty, have a theory that too many men enter the newspaper business with the idea of romance; so common in the motion pictures, they did not report that, anyway, they made arrangements with the downtown papers to give the young journalists some of the actual work, minus the romance, on election day.
Five men were sent from each class in Newspaper I to work on the two dailies. They were detailed by the editors to cover the various precincts and wards, with the instructions to bring in the papers for the desk on the desk to handle the telephone end of the elections. One of them took the telegraph news direct from the typewriter and transferred it to the stereotypic slides which were thrown on a screen. A view of the cubes was provided helping to tabulate the returns and getting them in shape for today's copy.

DAN CUPID PLAYS HAVOC WITH WORK AT SPOONER
"The library is the place for me," says Dan Cupid as he waltzes in with a noise like the whispering and murmuring of many couples while Old Man Work slinks sadly out the door, carrying his dilapidated derby. "I wish you would not be quite so noisy, Dan." says Miss Watson, the librarian. And thereafter it is a case of "I look into your beautiful eyes. I've ten books to read and a theme to write but I can't be bothered."
All this occurs about nine o'clock almost all evening in the week. The poor little freshman sits bewildered, watching the expertise with which Dan handles the book which "some one is using" when you call for it.
But next night "Frosh" not being slow, hies himself to some fair damselfall's home and escorts the lady to the library while Dan Cupid grids and giggles, and Miss Watson frowns to see it thus.
FISHING IN KAW IS AN OCCUPATION
Twenty Men Make Living In This Way—Market Is Always Good
Fishing in the Kaw river has become a real business. There are approximately twenty men who make their living by fishing at Lawrence. Several kinds of fish are gotten from the river, each in its own season. At least one fish is kept in the fish move but little in cold weather, explained one of the fishermen.
Each variety of fish has its own particular "stamping ground" where the specia is always found. Trotlines are used but the favorite method of fishing is with nets. One kind, called the D net, is anchored under the water with the flat side on the bottom. A partition inside the net keeps a fish free from despair. Overseas inside. D net nets are used extensively just below the dam. They are drawn up every few minutes with a rope and pulley. Some have bait tied inside and others trust wholly to luck.
Minnows are the favorite form of bait used on the trot-lines, and some dough-balls—something like fresh bread dough—and worms and liver are used. Different kinds of fish require different kinds of bait.
A few established rules exist among the fisherfolk. Each man has a private fishing-ground but may fish in another's locality with his permission. If a person gets on foreign ground without permission he is "banked out,"—that is, his net or line is taken up and put on the bank. If he persists in trespassing his line is liable to be missing, as the owner may destroy his net or sink it to the bottom of the river.
There always is an adequate market for fish and when the local market is supplied, they may be shipped to Topeka or Kansas City.

Art Classes get New Material
The School of Fine Arts has sent an order to Boston for a number of small casts to be used in the charcoal and free-hand drawing classes. These casts are much simpler than the ones now used and will be less difficult for beginners in the work. The cost of the casts will be approximately fifty dollars.
