Former Athletic Manage Comments On Football Situation
TEAM LOST FIVE GOOD MEN
Burnham, Bramwell, Groft, Coolidge and Detwiler Would Have Brightened 1913 Prospects
In commenting on the coaching situation at the University W. C. Lansdon, formerly manager of athletics at the University and now editor of the Salina Daily Union says editorially:
"Now come the wise critics who judge only by results and suggest that an entirely new coaching system should be adopted at Kansas. In the judgment of this writer Coach Mosse should be commended rather than criticized for the work that was done with the men available for the team and even has failed to do another year. Let him have the privilege of selecting his own assistants as was the policy when Kennedy was coaching strong teams assisted by Mosse. There should be no talk of a new coach at this time. Mosse is a great foot ball strategist. No man in the west is more competent to develop and direct a great offensive and defensive system of football and deal during the past two years and deserves well of the University and of the athletes who play football.
Lauds Arthus Mosse
"Than Arthur Moss there is no finer gentleman or better sportman in college athletics today. Trained in one of the great English public schools his ideals of fair play, sports best and highest principles of personal conduct make him a splendid leader for young men. Next year barring sickness and accidents, there will be the makings of a great football eleven at the University of this writer that Moss is entitled to on coaching without opposition or criticism.
"The popular impression is, that there was a great array of seasoned football material at Lawrence for this year's team. At the close of last season it was expected that at least nine of the players that helped defeat Missouri on McCook field would return for 1913 teams; fate otherwise, Burnham, best tackle in the Missouri Valley in 1912 was drowned during the summer vacation. Captain Bramwell was unable to return to school without sacrificing a business opportunity that was too good to be ignored. Andy Groft, as fine a guard as has played in the west for years, was out of the game for three and case one of the halfacks that Roger Cool-low last year did not come out for the team this fall. Dutch Detwiler the other regular half back on the cept for a few minutes during all 1912 team was disabled early this season and was out of the line-up-ext big games. These losses to the team left only Wilson, Weidman Tudor, and arsenal's newest football machine. The coaches developed seven players from absolutely raw material so far as Varsity football is concerned.
Coaches Had Big Task
"The coaches had no easy problem to solve when they undertook to make a football team out of this untrivial although excellent raw material. After careful consideration of the style of play the Minnesota shift was adopted as being the best suited to the abilities of the men available for the work on son. Assistant tackle Frank had been a threat tackle on Minnesota during three times won the Western Conference championship and was well qualified to teach that system of play. Perfectly mastered, on a dry fast field this shift system is good. It was not perfectly mastored at Kansas this year because of the sickness and injuries of players that necessitated constant changes in the line up. To make matters still worse the two big games with Nebraska and Missouri played in mud and rain that made fast work impossible. Without perfect mastery and on wet grounds the shift was a disappointment."

TO SAVE BANK ACCOUNT

"This box will not consist of fine linen, and woven by your own hands as of old, but a snug bank account saved from your wages." The struggling young man with small means is looking askance at the maiden who earns good wages and is spending it having a good time."

GET HONOR SENTIMENT FIRST, SAY STUDENTS
Joint Committee Reports In Favor of Raising Standards In Examinations
THEN LET A SYSTEM COME
Meeting Sunday in Myers Hall Will Air Views of Faculty and Undergraduates on Plan
Honor sentiment must be cultivated among the students of the University before any honor system can be successful. This was the report of the voluntary honor system committee, composed of representatives from the Women's Student Council, the Men's Council and the two Christian associations at a meeting held yesterday for the purpose of putting the honor systemitation on some definite basis.
The members of the committee have been in communication with schools that have the honor system and have discussed these various systems with the faculty. Following a general discussion at the meeting yesterday the consensus of opinion was that no definite system should be advocated for the suppression of cheating during examinations. Therefore the plan to foster a movement of honor sentiment.
Will Get Student Opinion
The committee further planned to get the sentiment of the University on the question. All honorary and social fraternities and sororites and all other honorary clubs and societies will be asked this week to state their views on the honor question. The committee will also welcome any suggestions from them about honor systems and methods. The two Christian associations have become active in this matter and two meetings will be held this week to consider the committee's report.
The Y. M. C. A. will hold a meeting for men in Myers hall Sunday at 4 o'clock to discuss honor sentiment. The Rev. N. S. Elderman will open the meeting with a recapitulation of the honor movement as far as it has gone. The meeting will then be thrown open to free discussion. The faculty will be represented and their views heard. A large attendance is desired so that some definite policy may be formulated.
Y. W. C. A. To Discuss It There will be a meeting of the Y. W. C. A. at Myers hall this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock for the same purpose. Miss Veta Lear will lead the meeting.
The honor system committee is composed of the following: John Madden, chairman, Helen Keith, Marie Sealy, Florence Florentine, Frances Meservey, McKinley Warren, Calbelle, Kit Carson.

DON'T FOLLOW FASHION IN FOODS, HE ADVISES
Prof. Lafayette B. Mendel of Yale Urges Students to Eschew Fads
CEREALS DON'T FEED BRAIN
No Diet Contributes to a Special Part of Body, Scientist Points Out in Channel
Out in Chapel.
That food fads are as a rule not reliable because they fail to take into consideration physiological facts which should be reckoned with, was the sum of the annual Sigma Xi address delivered by Prof. C. Lafontaine; More locally, at the meetings of yesterday afternoon and at chapel this morning.
"The idea that there are certain special foods for special tissues, as a cereal that nourishes the skin, or a preparation that increases brain power, is absurd," declared Professor Mendel this morning. "Absorbed nutriment is distributed according to internal needs rather than external hopes. Body cells never know the food we eat."
Professor Mendel quoted from several scientists of four or five hundred years ago and in answer to their theories of animal spirits in the body said that "diet ideas have changed from such belief in animal spirits as an explanation of digestion to an explanation in which the animal is considered a machine which must be supplied with fuel, and the outcome is equal to the income."
"Man is made to accommodate variety in food hence one should use common sense in following dietary rules," he said. "One of the virtues that in it there are adequate substances for all demands of the body."
in speaking of milk, Professor Mendel said that it contains all the constituents necessary for growth and development, and custum himself in all his activities would have to drink at least four quarts a day.
Dr. Mendel Finds Fault With Jack Spratt Tale
Although we have no authentic information on the subject, we must now believe that the statures of Jack Spratt and his estimable consort were not affected by their peculiar gastronomic ideas. For Prof. Lafayette B. Mendel says that growth depends upon the inclination to grow possessed by the skeleton, and that nutrition which is generally considered as the principal factor in growth, can do no more than give free scope to the inherent tendency to increase in height.
Professor Mendel's lecture on "View Points in Growth," was given in the chapel yesterday under the auspices of Sigma Xi and was well attended. A number of slides illustrating experiments made by the speaker in determining the effect of nutrition upon growth were shown.
"Real growth in man has its limit at the age of twenty-five. The individual often increases in weight after this age is caused. The real stature and in avoiduphoses are caused by entirely different causes. It has been proven that animals kept at constant weight may become larger in size."
ARREST OF JUDGMENT IS DENIED IN HINSHAW CASE
The motion for an arrest of judgment in the Justin Hinshew case was overruled yesterday by Judge Smart and now only an appeal from the judge stands between Hinshew and the state reformatory at Hutchinson.
Hinshaw was released immediately on a bond fixed by the court at 400 and his attorneys were allowed to file in which to file a bill of exceptions.
