LIGHT PRACTICE AND ADVICE PRECEDE GAME
Coaches Prepare Kansas for Meet With William Jewell
K. U. TO PLAY CONSERVATIVELY
will Rely on Kicking for Gains-
Varsity Expects few Scores and
Will Give Jewell Less
A light signal practice, some words of advice from the Jayhawker coaches this afternoon and Kansas will be ready to meet William Jewell tomorrow at McCook Field in the opening game of the 1914 season. Wheaton's men have survived a week of scrimmage in good condition. The team went down several backs but with the exception of Captain Detwiler, every man on the squad will be ready for the coach's tall tomorrow.
How many points will Kansas score?
This is the question students are asking. The coaches say there will be little scoring by Kansas and less by William Jewell. The kicking game will be introduced for the first time tomorrow. William Jewell may run and shift to the field due to his hard work will play defensive, defensive football and rely upon punting to win the game.
NUMBER 1
The strength of William Jewell will not be known until tomorrow. Last year the Jewellers held the Varsity to a single touchdown on a muddy field. Later in the season, they developed a swift offense and won the championship of the Missouri conference. The Jewellers the first team to report for practice this month according to press dope, they have most of their old men back. The game promises to be interesting and if history repeats, the Jayhawks will have to fly fast tomorrow to save its tail feathers.

Charles A. Shull, Assistant in Botany, Finds Plant Near Oread
A new specimen of cockle-bur has been found growing near "Mount Oread that is different from anything exhibited here. The main point of difference is in the shape and size of the bur. The discoverer is Charles A. Shull, assistant professor of botany.
The new bur, called the Xanthium Globossum by its discoverer because of its globular shape, has other distinctive features. The seeds are shorter and the leaves and blossoms differ from other varieties. The more open will not erase at other species and bloom at a different time.
Professor Shull sent the specimen to the Herbium at the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis. The head of the department there informed him that the new bur was entirely different from anything that had been shown in the Herbium. An article concerning the new discovery will appear in the next issue of the Botanical Gazette. An extensive article describing the use of the Cookebur" appeared in the last number of the Botanical Gazette, written by the discoverer. The treatise dealt with the fusion of saalth through the epidermis of the cockle-bur and the formation of salts within the seed.
Hank Maloy, cartoonist last year on the Kansan, is in town.

BENCH TO ATTRACT WOMEN
Money Consideration Not Enough to Tempt Men From Their Legal Practise
The judicial bench is the next place which proves to offer inelastic accommodations to its occupants. If the women are going to occupy it, men can't, is an alarming message from Chicago to students who are preparing to make their entrance into the legal world. It is the old comedy of the day that attracts women of more ability than the men who are willing to compete. The warning is sounded from a luncheon given by the Woman's City Club at the Hotel LaSalle, Chicago, and was especially prominent in the address of Miss Mary Bartleme, assistant judge of the juvenile court. She expressed disappointment that the women could not vote for a wo-
"The men best fitted for the office of municipal judges refuse to run. The small salary and the heavy campaign expenses make it more profitable for them to retain their legal practice," was one of her statements.

BLACK BOMB ON CAMPUS
AWAITS SCIENTIFIC TESTS
A small black bomb, the only one of its kind in the world, is lying in the Chemistry Building waiting to be subjected to an internal pressure of 115 atmospheres. Prof. H. P. Cady, of the department of chemistry and Homer O. Lichenwater, '13, are preparing to test the conductivity of liquid ammonia. It is in this experiment that the bomb will be used. This particular piece of apparatus is nine inches in length. The steel jacketed and lined in layers of platinum and gold to resist action of chemicals.
The bomp was made, after three years of experimental work, by the Boston Technical School and was there subjected to a pressure of 100 atmospheres pressure and then pressed to the department of chemistry to help carry on a number of experiments in locating apparent errors in the ion theory.
LITTLE SISTERS LIKE THEIR BIG SISTERS
Freshmen Realize How Much Upperclassmen Have Done for Them
COUNCIL WANTS 1000 MEMBERS FOR UNION
Everyone who ever had a big sister knows how convenient and altogether desirable she is. Every freshman-girl who came to the University this fall found herself under the care of a Big Sister, whose duty and pleasure it was to pilot the new student through the unfamiliar routine of school life, being guided by the strangeness of the new life. These Big Sisters, numbering a hundred, were chosen last spring and formed into groups of ten, each group with one of their number designated as captain. Some of them obtained the names of prospective students and corresponded with them during the summer so that they would be required to be acquainted when they met in Lawrence.
As fast as the freshman girls registered, their names were given to the staff, and they moved on to the rank and file, assigning two freshmen to each Big Sister.
The Big Sisters at once took their charges in hand, helped them enroll, went room hunting with them, and did everything possible to see that they were made comfortable and happy. Each one took her little sister's name, and the new students, and warded off homesickness between times by calling on the freshmen, taking them down town and entertaining them at teas and similar functions. They rarely lost a case, though a few of Girls, as usual, succumbed during the first days and went home to mother.
Now that everything has settled down for the winter, it might be supposed that the Big Sisters would find themselves out of a job. But such is not the case. They will continue to keep an eye on the younger girls, helped them with their studies if necessary, keep in friendly touch with them, and try to make them feel like integral parts of this miniature world instead of lonesome units floating at random.
Help to Find Rooms
Will Launch Campaign Next Monday to Cover Whole School
Starting Monday the Men's Student Council begins a campaign to secure one thousand new members for the Student Union at 1200 Tenn. Its life depends on the results of this campaign. The Union now has $100 in cash. $2,000 must be secured to carry the organization through the year. The Council will canvass the entire school.
Prof. H. T. Higgins voluntarily gave five dollars towards staring the campaign. Membership tickets will be sold at two dollars. These will give to holders all prizes of the campaign, a lounging room, music and reading room, committee rooms, and the pool room where two new billiard tables have been installed. The Council also has made arrangements whereby a club has been opened in the building for the convenience of the members.
The use of the billiard tables will be limited to members of the Union. Students wishing to play must carry with them their membership cards and show them to Dad Gregory who will be in charge again this year. However all students of the University are welcome to come to the Union whether they are members or not.
The committee in charge of the Union for the year and the campaign which is to be waged next week is composed of Alexander Creighton, Bud Ritter, and Lloyd Jackson. Every member of the Council has been assigned some active part in the work for next week.
ICHABODS INVADE CAMP OF THE CORNHUSKERS

VARSITY TAKES IT EASY BEFORE GAME
Goes Through Light Practice of Place and Drop Kicking
The Varsity football squad took it easy yesterday afternoon and the usual scrimmage was omitted. After kicking practice the Varsity and freshmen butted heads for a few shots but the scrimmage was only line work.
Coach Bond lined the first team on the thirty-five yard line and tried place and drop kicking. The freshmen charged the kick and blocked the ball several times. Sproull, Russel, and Duffy were short at first. Most of the boots were short at first but the kickers soon got the focus and crossed the bar with regularity.
STUDENTS FORGET
TELEPHONE NUMBERS
Most of the telephone addresses that were given into the registrar by the students this year have been found to be wrong. The registrar's phone number was checking on telephone companies. When the checking is done the copy for the

Y. M. AND Y. W. WILL OBSERVE PRAYER DAY

The national call to prayer by President Wilson ought to be heeded by the universities of our country. As it drags on, what war means will become more and more evident to us.

"SWIMMING IS A GOOD TONIC," SAYS DR. GOETZ
Water Stimulates Cirdulation Causes Deep Breathing and Developes the Muscles
"Swimming is generally considered the best all around exercise for men, women and children," says Dr. Alice L. Goetz, physical director of women. It is what is called a hypheneat exercise, which ensures the health in a general way. It develops practically all the muscles without specially affecting any one group. Because one must breathe deeply while swimming, the heart and lungs are strengthened. Being in the water increases circulation, and so has a tonic effect.
Swimming is required at the University for two other reasons. It is extremely useful as an aid to self preservation, and often as a means of saving others' lives. Furthermore, one can learn swimming much more safely in a small pool, under expert instruction, than in a lake or river, with more or less hapazard teaching.
The swimming pool in the Gym will be open to women on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays until Thanksgiving, and on Mondays and Tuesdays the rest of the school year.
All students in the University from Wilson county are requested to meet in Room B, Myers Hall Monday evening at 7:30 for the purpose of organization.
