PLAN OUTDOOR CLASS MEET
fatty men responded to the call of Manager W. O. Hamilton for a first meeting of the track candidates yesterday afternoon at McCook Field to discuss the prospects for the 1915 season. A dozen of last year's "K" men attended the meeting beside a large number of freshmen.
To Hold Event Either October 7 or
14; Cross Country Will
Start Soon
In telling the men about the prospects for the coming season, Manager Hamilton declared that any one in average physical condition who was willing to really work would be able to make the team. "I can't guarantee that you will get your letter however," he added.
Track Major Sport
"Track is just as much of a major sport as football and baseball," Manager Hampton declared. "In fact the track can carry trips than any of the teams."
"An outdoor interclass meeting is being planned for this fall on either October 7 or 14th. The date will be definitely announced as soon as the Missouri Valley cross country run at Ames is decided upon. Then there are the indoor meets against the Aggies, and Missouri, and the K. C. A. C. indoor meet at Kansas City and the indoor Western Conference meet.
Have Schedule.
"Outdoor meets are scheduled against Manhattan, Missouri, Nebraska, and K. U. Athletes will be entered in the Missouri Valley Conference meet, the Western Conference meet, the Relay Carnival at Des Moines and probably at the Penn games in Philadelphia."
Cross country work will start with in a few days. This work will be done under the leadership of two captains, Rodkey and Hilton, both K men. One squad will leave the gym at 8:30 and the other at 9:00 three times a week the athletes who take them will be excused from gym work.
At the conclusion of Manager Hamilton's talk, Captain Roy Edwards made a short speech to the men. A large basket of ham sandwiches furnished by Manager Hamilton finished up the program.

FOOD LABORATORY AS A SCENE OF ACTION

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS FRIDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER, 25, 1914.
"Variety is the spice of life." Perhaps this is best proven by a visit to the state food laboratories, and a glance at the activity manifest there. For there, if any place, can be found variety and activity. For example the workers in the laboratory this week have for some reason dried fruit, ice cream comes, baking powder and temperature beers. Truly isn't that a sufficiently varied assortment to promote some form of action?

KICKING OUTLOOK FOR
KANAS ENCOURAGING
Who will do the punting and kicking for the Jayhawker football team? Since Coach Wheaton announced that Kansas would play a kicking game this fall students are wondering what he will do. The last week kickers were scarce but now the outlook is more encouraging.
The kicking of Lindsay has opened the eyes of the fans who have watched the Varsity practice. Lindsay has an easy delivery and he sends the ball sailing on the chalk lines. Yesterday he averaged about forty yards and several punts cleared fifty. If Lindsay can kick that far under pressure, he stands a good chance of landing the booting job.
Wood, the little freshman quarterback, is showing good form with the ball.
Who Punts for the Jayhawkers?
FIFTY FRESHMEN NOW OUT
New Recruits Join First-Year Squad and go Through Brisk Work-Out
Fifty first-year men reported for practice on the freshman field yesterday afternoon and Coaches McCarty and Weildlein sent the tyros through a brisk work-out. The scrubs were separated in squads which charged up and down the field, with heads back and knees in the air. The coaches kept the freshmen moving and after dismissing them ordered them up the Hill to the gymnasium on the run.

LEITZ METALLOGRAPH HERE
Instrument
One of the Last Ships to Leave a German Port Brought New Instrument
One of the last ships to leave a German port for this country contained an instrument that is a decided addition to the equipment of the metallurgy department in the museum. An apparatus is a recent invention for the microscopical examination of opaque materials and is known in scientific circles as a Leitz Metallograph. A special room will be chosen for the instrument it will be used by the students in examining different steels.
The course made possible by this new machine will be a great addition to the department, as many American factories are beginning to recognize the possibilities of this particular form of metal examination.
PRINCETON PITCHER THREW
FIRST COLLEGE CURVE
William G. Murdock has an interesting article in the April number of Outing, entitled, "The First College Pitcher of Curves." It appears from this story that one Edmond Davis, of Princeton University, in the face of a bullpen opponent, adopt the curve ball. Pitchers in those days were somewhat hampered by the rules of the game. The odds were generally in favor of the batter. For instance, balls were called against him, but the batter could let three good ones go by before a strike could be called. Batter also could be called if the ball must be pitched, whether knee-high, waist-high, or shoulder-high. There was also a rule prohibiting the bending of the arm at the elbow, which of course prevented curved balls being pitched.

Dr. Frank Strong Gives Talk to Students in Fraser Hall
TREATS SEVERAL SUBJECTS
Speaks of Scholarship, Student Government, Fraternities, and Sororities, College Spirit and War
Chancellor Frank Strong for the twelfth time welcomed freshmen to the University in chapel this morning. He told them that higher scholarship would be expected, that student government in the University was on its last trial, that fraternalities and sororites were still in the experimental stage, and that college spirit, that is the real college spirit, was not based entirely on athletics but must take in the intellectual, spiritual, and religious life of the University as well.
Councilmen Must be Leaders
The Chancellor defined knocking criticism and said that the University welcomed sincere criticism but did not need any of the other.
Greeks Face Responsibilities
Speaking of Student government he warned the councilmen that they would have to be the leaders in the enforcement of all laws they passed. However, he commended the work of the Council up to the present time and said that he hoped and believed the University had the right kind of men on the Student Council this year. Some people think that we do not have college spirit here at the University of Kansas. Chancellor Strong says that this is a mistake and we really do have spirit here to a greater degree than most universities. However, he warned the students saying that the real spirit must take in every side of the University.
He then asked the students to take more interest in the religious and moral life and spoke of its relation to athletics and other University ac
American Schools Carry Burden
Prof. C. A. Preyer of the School of Fine Arts played a piano solo and Prof. W.B. Downing sang before and after the Chancellor's talk.
American Schools Carry Burden "The European conflict and the change in economic and commercial conditions place a new responsibility upon American universities. They must be the successors to European universities in scientific and historical investigation, in literary criticism, in the development of economic thought and the production of sound political and administrative leaders," said Cancellor Strong.
"Who is going to take up and carry on the tremendous intellectual development in science for which for the past fifty years Germany has been largely responsible?" asked the Chancellor. "What universities are going to assume the burden that the great French schools are obliged to lay down? What institutions are to supply the place that in part the great English universities must now forego?
"It is not a question of university buildings, laboratories, equipment and teachers only. What country is going to supply the vigorous, alert, young minds for higher intellectual training to take the place of those educated in industry many, and Russia are now sending to the battlefield to return no more? Here is the most serious loss of all and one that is well nigh irreparable.
“There is no nation of the first class unaffected by this terrible conflict but one that has a strong country that the material for the leadership of the world must come. America and its universities may become the center of the greatest intellectual life that the next generation will know,” concluded Dr. Strong.
