Captain of Team is Working to Get Fellows to Report—Says Anyone Has a Chance
MEN WANTED-For the Kansas football team. Apply at once to Manager Hamilton, Short hours, excellent instruction, Enquire free.
The above advertisement tells the condition of the Kansas football squad. Coach Wheaton needs more men and needs them badly. Saturday afternoon 20 men reported, yesterday 30. but more are needed.
"We must have more men," Captain Detwiler will declare this afternoon. "The students are showing lots of spirit this fall, but they are slow in coming out. We ought to have a larger squad. Some good men are not out because they say they can't make the team." That is no excuse. The team can still do it with the team. Any man who comes out to tomorrow will have as good a chance making the team as anyone already out."
Considering the size of squads at other schools, Kansas is far behind. At the Normal, more than a hundred m netured out and as a result Coach Hargiss is sait to have one of the fastest teams in the state. The Agneta is not so fast. The smaller Kansas Colleges have mustered more than 30 men.
The team is still being instructed in starting and falling on the ball
DEBATERS READY FOR WORK
of Last Year's Staf Absent and an Abundance of New Material is Expected
KANSAS MAY NOT HAVE UNIVERSITY EXPOSITION
The two debating societies will soon be organized for the year. The amount of attention that is being paid to debating seems to be increase, and it is expected that additional additions to the faculty of the department of public speaking there will be a still greater increase in that interest.
With only three of the men who were on last year's debating teams out of school there seems to be a very good chance for the University to gain honors in all the intercollegiate debates thi season. Besides the material from the old squads there is an abundance of new material in the two debating societies, that will make it easy to fill the vacancies made by the graduation of old members.
That there is a chance of the K. U.
Exposition that is scheduled to come in May being omitted this year was the opinion given out at the Chancellor's office today. "There is no permanent organization for the Exposition," said the Chancellor, "and there has been nothing done about it so far as I know. I do know that it takes a lot of work and interferes with the work of the University considerably."
K. U. Debaters to Meet
The K. U. Debating society will hold the final meeting Thursday night. Several new men will be initiated at this time.
Resigns to Fight With French Prof. Pierre Boubroux, of the department of mathematics, Princeton insignified to enlist in the French army.
Editorial Problems and Policies will meet Tuesday, 4:30 p.m. journalism laboratory, Medic building, for organization. Merle Thorpe.

KANSAS LEADS THEM ALL AT PUGET SOUND
University Had Largest Delegation of Representatives at Northwest Station
Prof. W. J. Baumgartner's trip to Puget Sound during the past summer was the most successful of any one made in the past five years. The University of Kansas had eighteen students registered who will count their credit here. This number is larger than that of all the institutes represented there. Evenington the home state had not registered as many as Kansas.
The University Daily Kansan:
Eight graduates were working on problems connected with the life of the Sound. They were the following: Miss Lola Brown, of Lawrence high school; Miss Claribel Lupton, of Arkansas City high school; Miss Virginia Welden of Anthony high school; Miss Nan Armstrong, of Linwood high school; J.C. Mack, of University of Notre Dame; C.C. Jensen, of San Pete high school, Utah; and Miss Carrie Woolsey and Lela Watson, now in the University. Most of these students secured good material to aid them inteaching.
Professor Baumgartner brought back a few choice specimens to be added to the University collection. As chairman of the reorganization committee, he made a new plan for the future conduct of the station at Puget Sound. A constitution was formulated, and is now being adopted by the regents of the University of Washington. It is expected that most of the universities in Puget Sound river valley will join in the work of the station under the new plan.
All of the students who were out there are very enthusiastic about the northwest; in summer, a school of them is already making plans to return next summer.
The plants and animals are so abundant in Puget Sound and Friday Harbor that Professor Baumgartner is sure it will become one of the best stations in the world for the study of problems connected with sea life.
One thousand "K" books have been riven out to the men of the University by the Y. M. C. A. The supplies exhausted at present, owing to the great demand for the handy little booklets. A new supply will be on and today or tomorrow, however, at he Y. M. office in Myers Hall.

ANNUAL HAS MONEY AND ALL IS WELL
Hackney Says Management Has Funds in Bank This Year
Financially the 1915 Jayhawker is well on its feet. Blair Hackney, its manager, has already started a bank account by means of the senior subscriptions taken in during registration days.
"It is necessary that the six dollar fee be turned over to the management as soon as possible." declared Hackney this morning, "I am well pleased with the way many seniors have paid the fee, and are now able to manage themselves within the next few weeks. They all expect to pay the fee anyway and they might just as well pay it now and help the management that much. Later, with the rush of work which always accompanies the getting out of a year book, we are going to be better with our money when it is the time to pay the fees when we have the time to take care of it.
"We are introducing several new features into the book this year. Harsh will be back in Lawrence the first of October and then definite he made him in regard to two特色 features of the book, he concluded.

No Time for Reading War News
Before the opening of school, Miss Watson had her assistants diving intoole boxes aid into dusty corners searching for books on War and on the countries engaged in the present struggle. "The students would surely want them," she said, but no. As yet she has had no calls for these books and she and the assistants are wondering why.
Is it because the average student is content with the big headline daily and the "it is rumored" stuff, or is it because Arcade has too many rushing" dates with Mabel? When he gets better acquainted maybe he will take her to the library in the evening. Such things have happened.
MAKES CLOSE STUDY WESTERN LAND LAWS
Prof. H. A. Millis Investigates Japanese Conditions During Summer Months
Western land laws and labor conditions was the subject of a seven-week's investigation of Prof. H. A. Millis of the department of economics. The laws passed by the legislature of California discriminating against the Japanese as land owners proved troublesome to members of the diplomatic circles at Washington.
The legislature of California passed a law prohibiting Japanese and other aliens from purchasing land in that state and limiting the term for a lease to three years. This was done because of the very cheap labor prevailing among the Japanese which threatened to drive white labor out of the country. As the matter the matter had assumed international proportions, the Federated Churches of America became interested.
Professor Millis was chosen for this work because of his recognized ability as an immigration expert and the work that he did with the government commission in the Hawaiian Islands in 1908 and 1909. He spent the seven weeks intervening between summer school and regular session on the ground studying the matter at first hand.
The report, which will be ready about the first of December, will be the basis for legislation to be presented to Congress by the Federation in an attempt to regulate the matter.
