STUDENTS SWARM TO FIELD FOR PRACTICE
Five Hundred Rooters Follow Team up and Down Mc Cook Last Night
Five hundred students took the advice of Coach Wheaton, "to get out on the field" and fairly swamped McCook at last night's practice in an effort to miss none of the plays staged by the Varsity and Bill Weidlein's tyros. And just to show their appreciation Detwiler's player for the 1918 class for about a dozen touchdowns during the evening's entertainment.
Several big shifts were made in the lineup of the Varsity. Bonnie Reber was sent to fullback. Heath was brought from the second squad to fill Reber's old position and Stryker was put at full back on the second eleven. Coolidge and Captain Detwillier just exchanged places, the veteran leader taking his position on the end of the line opposite Heath. Coolidge went to half back as a companion and he worked changed shape, the poundage of Reber together with his speed going through the tyro line for big gains. Heath kept the speed on his end of the line in great shape, as he was hurder on the Westport high team in Kansas City, Mo.
At the conclusion of the practice Manager W. O. Hamilton announced the new lineup would probably be used to start the Tiger game Saturday. The manager expressed himself as well pleased with the different spirit of the team. There will be another open practice tonight and even a greater crowd than last night is desired.
The big game will start at 2:30 o'clock. Usher们 will report at 12:30 o'clock, as the crowd is expected early.
The press box has been boarded up shutting out the north wind which usually whisked around the shins of the scribes. The telegraph companies will connect extra wires at the box Saturday morning.
Two years ago 10,000 people saw Kansas defeat the Tigers 12 to 3 on McCook Field. Manager Hamilton expects a bigger crowd Saturday. The Jayhawkers always perform better on their home grounds and the signs are right for a re repetition of the 1912 performance.
Coach Wheaton is being assisted this week by Pat Crowell, Shorty Hamil and Bunny Wilson, former stars on Kansas elevens.
Reber takes to the fullback position like the proverbial duck to water. He is big and fast and if he rips through the Tiger line like he has been shattering the freshmen, Kansas can expect much from him.
A good natured crowd saw the scrimmage yesterday. It was too cold to stand still, so the rooters swarmed the Field and walked behind the players, encouraging them to courage the players. At least five hundred men saw the practice.
"We will beat Missouri Saturday," said H. W. (Bunny) Wilson who has joined the old grads assisting Coach Wheaton this week. "The two teams are about even but this revival of pep will put the old fighting spirit on his back." "I will be playing game," Wilson was quarterback on last year's eleven and was one of the to come out and help prepare for the Tiger game.
A big box car will carry a bunch of Missouri rooters to Lawrence Saturday. The car has been chartered by Miseuse's famous "Hobo Club" the booth expect reduce the high cost of traveling by the freight route.
The Christian Science Monitor has written Captain Detwiler asking for his picture in football togs for a football edition of that paper. The Monitor will print pictures of the captains of the Western elevens.
Nebraska retains its lead among the conference football teams with an undefeated team. Kansas ranks second while Missouri is fourth. The Kansas Aggies are at the end of the list.

"GOT ANY OLD CLOTHES?"
Y. M. and Y. W. Workers Ask University Students to Help
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS THURSDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 19, 1914
"Hello, hello! Yes, this is Bell 385. Old clothes for the Belgians? Yes, indeed we want them. Your address and we'll send right over for them."
This is what you'll hear if you step into the office of the University Y. M. C. A. in Myers Hall today or tomorrow.
Old clothes, worn clothes, any kind of clothes at all, will be mended and shipped to sufferers in the war zone. Fraternities and rooming houses especially are ureed to rummage from their belongings. And send to Belgium the cast-off clothing they usually sell to Albe or Mawrrous for little or nothing.
Both men's and women's clothing is needed. The office of the Y. M. will be open evenings to facilitate the collection of wearing apparel. Call Con Hoffman if you can give anything.

THIRD CONVOCATION TO HAVE SOCIAL WORKER
Graham Taylor Will Addres Students and Faculty at 1:30 Tomorrow in Fraser
Dr. Graham Taylor, founder and resident superintendent of the settlement known as Chicago Commons, who has just returned from the scene of the European war, will be the principal speaker at the convolution called for Friday afternoon at 13:00 o'clock.
His subject will be "Social Progress Under the Shadows of War." Coning as he does, directly from the war zone Doctor Taylor has a definite knowledge of what is to ing place at the spots which the American people have heard of only in the highly colored or strictly censored reports of war correspondents, as the case may be.
Doctor Taylor is widely known in this country as an investigator and social service worker. He has lived for twenty years at Chicago Commons, in the center of the poorer section. He has long been familiar with the men of the "down and out" classes, both vagrant and criminal. This knowledge has enabled him to give advice of great practical benefit to the city in the foundation of a municipal lodging house. For years he worked with teen Addams and others in municipal reform in the city. Students of social progress in this country are deeply interested in the effect of the war upon the social movement in the countries affected. No man in America today can speak with greater authority than Graham Taylor.
Well Known Social Worker
He will go to Topeka Saturday to attend the conference on raising a Kansas fund for the relief of the Belgian sufferers. The state committee on the relief work is taking advantage of Doctor Taylor's presence in the state in seeking his advice in arrangements for the relief fund.
WHITE CROSS FUND BUYS
FLOUR TO FEED BELGIANS
Bowersock Mills Makes Reduction or its Products for Use of the Religions
A total of $2393 has been pledged at the University. Payments are to be made in installments in the next seven months. Many of the sub-users of the Internet have pledged in full. The sum of $132.45 was sent to Georg Mignolet, Belgian consul at Kansas City, last week, for transmission to Belgium.
"One dollar paid to the White Cross fund now will go as far as a dollar and a half will go later on," said Prof. H. P. Cady at noon today. "This is because of a special price we have on flour from the Bowersock mills. We can buy flour now at $4.00 per pound, which is less than present market price, and considerably lower than it can be bought in a week or two."
Professor Cady has on hand $296, all of which will be spent for seventy-four barrels of flour this afternoon. Flour will be bought as subscriptions come in, as more can be had for the money by investing it in this way than in any other. The railroads and ports will be to Atlantic oceast free of charge. The first shipment will be made over the Santa Fe.
FACULTY WILL MINGLE WITH GRAD AND STUDE
All to Get Together at the Senior Football Rejoicer Tonight
The time 8:00 o'clock tonight
The place. Earles' Hall
The event—Seniors' pow-pow for old grads and faculty.
That's the story boiled down for quick consumption. If you want more facts, here they are: speeches by old grads and faculty members; orchestra music, a boxing bout, an exchange of words; plenty of glauce-to-see hospitality.
The mixer promises to be a rousing success. If it does not outrank any similar event it certainly will rival any of its successors, the committee avers. The program is elaborate, including the manager W, O. Hamilton, Prof. IJN van der Vries, and maybe a few words from "Uncle Jimmy." Twenty-five faculty members will be on hand and a few rousing talks will probably pipe up from this section. However, what is expected to be one of the headliners, of the evening will be a number of peep shows given as part of the Poole, Don Duncan, Curing Tom Smith, Sweed Carlson, Hicks, and possibly a half-dozen more not yet heard from. A Bohemian orchestra has been engaged to furnish music for the event, and a two round boxing exhibition between E. A. Blackman and Harry Harlan will be staged during the evening. Between events Sweed Wilson will bring his famous banjo into Oh, yes, refreshments will be served.
Tickets for the event have been on sale for several days. They are selling like hot tamales. More than 100 seniors have promised to attend. That many more are expected to be on deck when the first number on the program starts at the stroke of eight. This is to accommodate Coach Wheaton who wants to catch a train for Kansas City. The crowd will be augmented by a
WOMEN WILL CAPER IN
W. S. G. A. STUNT PARTY
The crowd will be augmented by a goodly number of Lawrence merchants, who are ardent supporters of the football team.
A stunt party, with every women's organization on the Hill represented on the program, will be given as soon as the women express their readiness. The W. S. G. A will be in charge, and they want every sorority, club, society to attend the Hill to join the pageant; small admission price may be charged.
Plan Big Affair to be Held as Soon as Miss Huckbush
'Returns
The affair will be an all-University women's mixer, so that every woman in the school may see just what every woman is up to. The anticipation of Dorothea Hackbusch, president of the Association, a great revelation of hitherto undiscovered geniuses. Miss Hackbusch wishes that she would begin planning its stunt at once.
The date for the party will be set as soon as Miss Hackbach returns from Northeastern University, where she is a student of the College of Student Government Associations.
VESPERS FORESEE VICTORY
All the women of the University are requested to come to McCook Field tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, for practice in the forming of a letter K, for the football game.

GREGORY MAKES WHIST BOARDS—SENIORS PRACTICE
They are made from heavy strawboard and are fitted with rubber clips under which each player places his tricks. Several seniors are taking lessons from the expert players in the class and they prophesy that they will give a good account of themselves in the tournament.
"Dad" Gregory, the hard-working "matron" of the Student Union, has prepared a number of duplicate whist boards for the senior-faculty evening at whist which will be pulled off at the Union before long. The "ma-tor" is another reason and is showing the boards to every caller at the big students' club.

Chancellor.
A convocation is announced for Friday, November 20, at 1:30 o'clock. Dr. Graham Taylor, President of the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy, will speak on "Social Progress Under the Shadows of War."
THOSE WOMEN YELLED TILL LID POPPED OFF
Rah! for Harrington
Bass Drum and Feminine Cheer Leader Raise Enthusiasm to a High Pitch
With a bang the top flew off the pepper box last night when 600 enthusiastic women rallied in Fraser Hall to the beating of a big bass drum and the spirited cheer leading of the feminine Jor Berwick, otherwise Elizabeth Morrow. It was the first flocking to the support of a football team, in which Kansas women have ever indulged.
"Come on, now, with a rousing cheer for Harrington," cried Elizabeth, llistily, as the first speaker of the evening was introduced. They came. Mr. Harrington said he was glad the girls had spilled the "pepper box" and urged them to have their own section at the game and do their own rooting irrespective of the men.
Dr. Alice L. Goetz, women's physical director, suggested the women leave their seats at the game at the opening strains of "Sympathy" by the band down on the field and form a K U. The suggestion made a touchdown. The women will meet on McCook Field at 3:30 o'clock Friday afternoon for practice. "Everybody out." All of them will carry red and blue bunting when they form the letters will sing "Crimson and the Blue."
Get the Fine Points
"Learn how the game is played," urged Miss Helen Jones, the next speaker. "It will put lots of pep into the audience."
Then came Coach W. O. Hamilton.
Nebraska got our goat, but I know
that the game is about what he
He liked the rally and urged the
women to show more spirit in athletics.
Leave the Men Alone
Coach Wheaton opened his talk with an apology for not being shaved, but he joined Manager Hamilton in asking the women to back up the team and try to help the men to keep training.
The Jayhawker men were on hand and got a picture of the girls for the flashlight was taken from the platform, and then given the prominence of half a pane.
The men could not get in on the meeting, but they were lined up four deep on the fire escapes, getting into a run a sure-enough paprika meeting.
WIST HAT IGER'S AIL
This is the new song that has been taken up by the students for the Twisting of The Tiger's Tail. The tune is that of the Can Song. There's a happy spot, Right in this town, Apollo jupiter hopping around, Picture of a Tiger all battered and bent,
Tail full of knots and tail all rent—Picture of a Tiger's coffin near, Not a single Jayhawk shedding a tear.
Well, we'll give a Rock Clalk, when the hearse gets here—
a picture that Kansas can - a picture
that Kansas can paint.
that Kansas can paint.
INDOOR WORK TO OCCUPY
RUNNERS AFTER VACATION
Indoor work will occupy the attention of the track athletes after the Thanksgiving Day Run in Kansas City. Shortly after the opening of the second semester, Kansas is scheduled to meet the Aggies indoors and may also meet the Kansas City Athletic Club during the same month. In March a team will be entered in the Kansas City Athletic Club This is handicap affair and difficult to "dope" but last year the Kansan entries scored more points than any other organization.
Of most interest to the track enthusiasts will be the indoor meet with Missouri. This has for many years been a good tussle and this year should be no exception. Kansas should stand an excellent chance of overcoming it, and we develop hurdlers to take the place of Hazen, Rodkey and Stadler should fill the gap left by the graduation of Malcolmson and Cissna.
