WHEATON LINES SUBS AGAINST GREY'S TEAM
Regulars Not to Play Wash burn; Save Themselves for Nebraska Game
Cheerleader Joe Berwick with the band will lead that portion of the Thundering Thousand that will go along from South Park to the Santa Fe depot to see the football team off tomorrow morning. The crowd will gather at the Park at 8:30 o'clock and march from there to the depot in a body. Berwick asks every man to turn out.
Rather than risk injuring his men before the Nebraska game, Coach Wheaton will start nine substitutes against the Washburn Ichabods at Topeka tomorrow. In the line-up given out today, Shorty Strothers and Mulloy are the only regulars to face Washburn. Wheaton has too many cripples on hand already and does not intend to get any more.
Subs Work Hard
The substitute line-up was organized early this week and the coaches have been sending it through hard practice and scrimmage work. Monday and Tuesday were devoted to signal practice while scrimmage was held Wednesday and yesterday. The Haskell Indians batted against the Redskins on Wednesday and had little trouble piercing their line. The new men worked several shift plays successfully against the Redskins but were no match for them.
The announcement of the new line-up completely upsets the speculation as to the result of tomorrow's game. Even Washburn rooters held little hope for a victory tomorrow but with the substitute line-up, the Ichabods have a chance. If Washburn begins o run over the substitute team, coach Wheaton probably will draw on his regulators but he probably will not throw the entire first team in action.
NUMBER 40.

prof. F. E. Kester Takes Issue With Writer in Current Opinion
DEFENDS WAVE LIGHT THEORY
F. E. Kester, professor of physics, does not agree in every respect with an article printed in the August number of Current Opinion, in regard to the theory of light waves.
A noted scientist and physicist, Dr. Fournier d'Albe, declares the corpuscular theory, or that light travels by means of molecules instead of the generally accepted wave method. The two theories of the traveling of light have existed nearly the same length of time and proofs have been given in favor of each method.
"In only one test, does the corpuscular theory fall down," declared Professor Kester. "In the wave theory a light may be divided and partitioned into two parts. The rays, of course, travel the same distance and in the same direction. When after the rays have traveled some distance they are brought back together by removing the partition, an interference of spectra is shown. That shows that the exist and cannot merge or molecules. If it were a molecular method of travelling the rays would have no interference when they are joined after having traveled the distance.
"I think the wave theory eventually will eclipse the molecular 'theory', said J. Frost."
'17 WOMEN JOIN WESTONS
Juniors Will Hike West of Town and Breakfast Saturday
Although few responses to the call for a hike of the junior women have been received by the chairman of the hike committee, a number will doubtless turn out at Robinson Gymnasium Saturday morning at 7 o'clock for the initial tramp and breakfast.
Atchison county students met at the Phi Gau house last night and organized an Atchison county club with the following officers: C. A. Poland, president; Vera Blackburn, vice-president; Jack Challiss, secretary; and Horace Chandler, treasurer. It is the aim of the club not only to promote sentiment for the mill tax, but to take an active interest in all legislation affecting the University.
Out past the Engineering Building to the Engle Cottagle the juniors will go and there breakfast will be served. So as not to interrupt who, when what plans for the morning, the return will be made about 10 o'clock.
ATCHISON COUNTY CLUB
JOINS INCREASING LIST
A record advance sale of the four hundred tickets sent by the Washburn athletic management indicates that a big crowd of Jayhawkers is planning to accompany the Kansas and band to Topesa tomorrow morning.
BIG CROWD WILL GO
TO WASHBURN TOMORROW
The officials for the game as sent by the Washburn management to Manager W. O. Hamilton is: Reree, James Masker, K. C. A. C; umple, McCreary, K. A. C, C, and Anderson, Missouri, K. head linesman.

CAMBRIDGE ASKS K. U. TO HELP "A PEOPLE IN BEGGARY AND A NATION CRYING FOR FOOD"
The Master of Christ's College, Cambridge University. A. E. Shipley, has appealed personally to the Chancellor and students of the University of Kansas for aid in clothing the "honored refugees" who have fled from Belgium into England and Holland. The following letter was received by Chancellor Strong from Mr. Shipley this morning:
"The shortest way to the heart of any People is an appeal to the generous youth of that nation. I want to appeal to every one of your students to send what help he or she can, to cloth the homeless and helpless Belgians. We have almost exhausted our supplies.
"The need for garments for our honored refugees in England is pressing; it is even more pressing in Holland, whither the poorer people have fled in overwhelming numbers.
"People who have suffered so much for Liberty cannot be left destitute.
"Clothes of all kinds are wanted—suits, greatcoats, underclothing, socks, shoes, overshoes, slippers, hats, caps, handkerchiefs, shirts, swaters, jerseys, guernseys, and women's garments of every description. They should be addressed to
The Lady MacDonell, 1st floor, 23 Warwick Square, Pimlico, London, S.W., England.
The Committee for succoring the Belgians will undertake their distribution.
that insure their safety.
"Send CLOTHES, and more CLOTHES, and still more CLOTHES. I plead for a 'people in beggery and a nation that is stretching out its hands for food.'"
COUNTY CLUBS ORGANIZE EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK
Additions Made to List at Various Hours of Each Evening—All Working Hard
Yours very sincerely,
A. E. Shipley.
Its owner, a K. U. professor, a Stanford graduate and this Stanford Quad have been constant companions. It is not, today, the fresh, bright-colored volume just off the press. In fact the pages are coming loose, its back is nearly broken and the cover is the worse for wear. But, as the owner says, there has not a month passed that he has not turned to it for information and pleasure.
Here is the story of a college annual that has traveled 25,000 miles in ten years. It has made four trips across the continent; it has visited New York City and Washington, D.C.; has been a member of the United States and in the extreme south-eastern corner; and has seen foreign lands.
Medics Get Microtome
Several new county clubs are the result of the activity of the last few days. Wyandotte, the county with the largest enrollment in the University, met and elected officers Tuesday afternoon in Fraser Hall. Harvey county organized Tuesday night. Butler county students met at noon Wednesday and elected their officers and Geary county officers at noon yesterday in Room 210 Fraser, at noon today at 4:30 o'clock yesterday in Room 216 Fraser and Atchison county at 7:30 o'clock last night at the Phi Gam House. Allen county will organize Monday.
The following counties have already announced their presidents: Smith, Roger Coolidge; Jewell, James Scott; Mitchell, McKinley Warren, Lincoln, Tom Mulloy; Doniphan, D. Alt; Wilson, Russell Gear; Crawford, Sam Degen; Cherokee Householder; Stafford, William Brownlee; Reno, John Martin; Rice, William Ainsworth; Kearney, John Campbell; Clay, C. A. Randolph; Brown, Cale Bowron; Pratt, Milton Heath; and Coffey, Charles Sweet.
GRADS ANNUAL TRAVELS
TOTAL OF 25,000 MILES
The above presidents will gather next week to form an inter-county organization, in order to work together for the mill tax amendment and other matters of general interest to the University. The Student Council will supply the president and members of the club with literature about the proposed tax. The council will organize and the clubs will keep in touch with the state legislators from the various districts of the state.
The department of anatomy of the School of Medicine has installed a new freezing microtome. This may enable the study of certain kinds of tissue. 1
Most of the clubs have already made plans for some kind of social or athletic events in their home counties during the holidays.
"K" MEN CAN NOT ENTER MORE THAN ONE EVENT
Interclass Meet Will Afford More Men an Opportunity to Place
Every man in the University is going to have a better chance for one of those interclass medals because of the ruling made by Manager Hamilton and Captain Ray Edwards to the effect that K men can enter but one track and field event in Thursday's meet. Heretefeore the experienced men on the team have gathered in most of the points and consequently most of the medals but this year the men without previous training are going to be given an opportunity to place.
Captain Edwards has divided the thirteen events on the program into two classes. The first class consists of the regular running events; the 100, 220, and 440 yard dashes, and the 880 yard, mile and mile runs. The second class consists of the high and low hurdles, the pole vault, broad jump, high jump, shot put and discuss throw. Every K man may enter but one event in each class, and since few men are involved in taking part in different in character, it practically restricts them to one event. However the relay still offers an opportunity for no restriction will be placed on the entries here.
Manager Hamilton wants to see as many men as possible in this meet as it will give him a line on the men who must fill the gaps made by the graduation of several members of the 1914 championship team. Hamilton realizes that more new material may be developed in track than any other branch of sport. Fresh-educated athletes will participate as it will help them to keep in condition. Medals for the individual winners have arrived and are now in Hamilton's office. They will be distributed at the meet.
The following men have been selected to lead their respective classes. Captain Ray Edward, and Fiske; junior; Rodkey, sophomore; Treweke, freshman. Edwards is known to all followers of the sport. Fiske made his K in the half mile and quarter mile event. Key is a half miler, the college teammate on distance at 2:00. Treweke, the freshman leader comes from Wichita high school, where he was a consistent point winner in the high jump. He uses the "Beeon" form and has cleared 5-11.
TRACK TEAM TAKES TRAIN
FOR DES MOINES MEET
The University of Kansas cross country team consisting of Captain Ray Edwards, Rodkey, Baker, Grady, Young and Howland left this morning at 9 o'clock for Des Moines where they will compete in the annual Missouri Valley cross country run at Atascosa tomorrow afternoon.

$1491.60 PLEDGED
WHITE CROSS FUND
Contributions Are Nearing the Thousand and a Half Mark
Mark
One thousand four hundred ninety-one dollars and sixty cents has been pledged to the White Cross fund, according to the petitions in the office of the committee this morning. This does not include the papers that are yet to come in from Green Hall, Snow Hall and a part of Fraser Hall.
The minimum monthly requirement of the Belgiums as estimated by the American and Spanish ministers in Brussels is eight-eight per person per food stock.
The committee urges that those who have made pledges for this work call at the office of Registrar George O. Foster and pay the amount for the fees, which is possible so that the money may be sent to the sufferers across the waters.
If there are any persons in the University who have not had a chance to sign the papers that have been circulated over the University they may have the opportunity by calling at the office of the Registrar or on Prof. H. P. Cady, in Room 115, Chemistry Building.
Persons who have clothes that they wish to contribute for the use of Belgians may do so by delivering them to any member of the committee. The arrangement does not yet been completed, but some way will be found to get the articles to the place of need.
Senior Laws Dig Up
$80 for White Cross
Eighty dollars and more was subscribed to the White Cross fund by members of the senior law class this morning. The paper was passed about the room during the nine o'clock class, and a total of $11.80 per month promised for sever months.
Wattles Will Lecture for White Cross Fund
Willard Wattles, the Kansas poet, will give a series of five lectures on modern living authors at the Uitarian church beginning November 14. A charge of one dollar will be made for the entire series or twenty-five cents for one lecture. Half the proceeds will go to the Oread magazine and the other to the White Cross fund.
The first of the lectures will be on Nicholas Vachel Lindsey. The following will be on Harry Karp, Witter Byner, John Burroughs, the naturalist, C. L. Edson, of the New York Evening Mail and the Kansas Times, and the order named. The lectures will begin at 8:00 o'clock.

TWO STUDENTS IN CAMP
GET ZOLOGICAL SPECIMENS
The Natural History Museum has added about 200 specimens to its zoological collection so far this year from the work at the permanent camp done by Remington Kellogg and Dix Teachenor. The camp, which is located twelve miles south of the city, is occupied at intervals of twohrs by scientists, who are experienced collectors of specimens. Mr. Kellogg makes a specialty of mammals and Mr. Teachenor of birds.
The next trip will be made a week from Friday, the work lasting from Friday afternoon to Monday morning. A shorter stay at the camp would not give time for any practical accomplishment. Both workers are students and the week-end is the only available time. Last year's collection, made by the same men, amounted to about 1500 specimens.
STUDENTS MADE DATES
FOR RED CROSS BENEFIT
Many students took advantage of the suspension of the week-night date rule for the Red Cross benefit, and attended the picture shows last weekend. The girl was cut down, however, by a lycuseum production at the Bowersock.
The amount the Red Cross funds will derive has not yet been computed, but will be announced Monday.

COUNCIL RECOMMENDS THREE FOR SUSPENSION
Asks Punishment for Men Who Took Part in Rally
Harold DeLongy, Lefty Sproull,
and Bob Lindsey were recommended
by the Men's Student Council at its
meeting last night to Chancellor
Frank Strong for suspension for
taking part in the unauthorized rally
at the White House. The reinstalment was left to the Board of Administration.

DeLongy is captain of this year's baseball team, and Sproull leader of last year's basketball five.
Council Reprimands DeBenham The Men's Student Council requests that the name of Harold DeBenham be published as having been reprimanded by it for smoking. Through some mistake the name was not submitted for publication at the time of the reprimanding.
K. U. HELPS GOVERNMENT SEARCH FOR POTASH BED
European War Causes Fertilizer Investigation to be Reduced Outside German Empire
The European war has decreased materially the world's output of potash, and as a consequence the United States government is reducibling its efforts to find a potash bed on this side of the Atlantic, according to a statement made this morning by Prof. W. A. Whitaker, director of the state chemical research at the University of Kansas.
"pratically the entire world output of potash comes from Germany," said Professor Whitaker. "It is an absolute neo-Nazi state." He imparted enormous quantities from Germany and are dependent upon that country for it.
"Potash is deposited by an evaporated sea. The United States government has carried on a great search for such a bed, and is investigating every likely location. The University of Kansas has helped in that investigation, making something aachieving. Our search is still going on, and while there is as yet no encouragement, we hope to find a potash bed in some of the old evaporated sea beds known to have been formed here many years ago."
The price of potash is increasing rapidly, and if the war does not cause harm to the plant, the fessor Whitaker, it will be practically impossible to obtain this fertilizer.
K. U. WOMEN TO CONFERENCE
