JAYHAWKERS READY TO MEET THE TIGERS
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 20. 1019
Final Scrimmage Shows Team Well-Prepared For Biggest Game
SHIFT IN LINE-UP EXPECTED
Backfield Not Yet Selected—Som
mers and Martin May Work at
Half-Bonfire Ends Practice
Statements of the Authorities
Arthur St. St. Leger Mosez—It will be a tight game, an exciting game. The Jayhawkers have a good chance win; the Tigers have an equally good chance. Don't bet on it; root on them.
Leonard Frank—The Jayhawks will play the best game Saturday that they have played all season. The players no slouches either. Take your choice.
Red Lapton--We'll beat 'em. Gee,
I hope mamma lets me go!
"How can we help but beat them after that?" said Leonard Frank late yesterday afternoon.
The Varsity eleven had just held its last scrimage of the year. Jay Bond's freshmen had just scrimmaged for the last time against the big huskies who have bruised and battered them around all season. The anxious newspaper reporters had paced up and down the sidelines, searching eagerly for news, for the last time. Practice was over.
The Varsity had gathered in a large circle in the center of the field. Lefty Sproull, running from the club house, bore in one hand a pale and emaciated bread of "no account" newspapers, and a dozen matches. Volte offerings were to be held. Leonard Frank and Arthur Moseh had decided finally to propitiate the gods in the Jayhwakers' favor having one grand big bonfire. And those was the "piece de résistance."
War Dance Around Shoe
War Jance Moulton she. She
Loftey Eldred she. She papers.
A small flame sprank up, then a larger one, then the whole pile was a fire.
Whooping and yelling, hand in hand, the Varsity men danced around the fire.
At one end of the line was Leonard Frank, at another end Arthur Mosse, at another end Arthur Mosse, Carl Rouse, Pat Crowell, and Jay Bond looked on and applauded.
"That dispels the jinx, fellows," cried Mosew. "Will we win?" "Decidedly, yes," thundered back the husky regulars.
Final Showing Good
Line-un Uncertain
The Jehovahwars looked good yesterday afternoon. Bishop, the big halfback who has been kept out of the game with an attack of appendicitis was in at half, and booting the ball fifty yards at a clip. Bishop, the quality man, was at the other half. Stuewe played full, Wilson quarter.
The whole back-field line-up, with the exception of Stuewe at full, is up in the air, and if the coaches have yet fully determined just what two backs will trot out on the field Saturday in response to Jack Grover's whistle, they're not telling the press reporters.
Tony James worked at his usual place in the line. Mulloy took Tudor's old position at right guard. Strothers and Reber were on the ends. The rejuvenated team looked good.
It is doubtful yet exactly what line-up will start the game against the Tigers Saturday. Sommers and Martin may work at half instead of Bishop and Pudor. Greenlees and Foster from former pair which may start the game.
Line About The Same
Line Above the Sea
The Line Above the Sea will be the same as started the game against the Cornhuskers last Saturday. Strothers will be at end, in case Fudor goes to the backfield. The big ad from Holton will surely start the game at some position; he is too man to be left idling on the idleings.
Reber will be on the end opposite Strothers, Weidlein and Burton, the two "old faithfuls" at left and right tackle. James if he is in form, Hammond if James is not, will play left guard. Mulloy seems a fixture on the other side of center. Keeling, if course, will pass the ball.
After a rather strenuous practice in signal drill last night came the scrimmage, the last scrimmage with the freshmen. Two touchdw-s were scored against the tyros in less than ten minutes. Then came a brief but snappy talk to the players and then the bonfire.
TYROS, WORK DONE, TO SEE COLUMBIA GAME
Freshman Squad To Watch Team It Made Beat Tigers Saturday
SELECT W. WOOD CAPTAIN
Twenty Yearlings Name Leader Be foregoing With Varsity to See Season's Last Contest
"Heaven is blest with perfect rest, but the blessing of earth is toil." So sobbed the meek and weary freshmen of days past when they slept under a roof, they slowly creep to their shed at the end of each night's practice with the Varsity.
But the "melancholy days have passed" and all is peace and joy in Tyroville. The yearlings' days of practice against the Varsity, their hours and murmurs and unimbing blocks for the more aggressive and experienced men, have passed. They now have nothing to look forward to but a trip to Columbia in a private car, the guests of the University of Kansas, and seat at the big Miesi-Kansas game Saturday, a reward of merit.
The freshmen are going to have a good time on the trip; they're bound to! Anyone would to if he were traveling in a special car, meals in a big Pullman berth ready at night, a big seat in a bunch at the game.
The freshmen are just going to have that much more fun. And they deserve it. A better crowd, a more willing crowd, a more capable bunch of yearlings have never turned out for Bond's eleven, and from Woods, and from Dulley and Hinshaw, the "freighters", in the line, every man on Bond's eleven promises to grow into splendid Varsity material.
They have mixed with more seasoned players, they have learned the finer points about the game, the "tricks of the trade," and next year they will turn out for football in the fall, with three months of Varsity training, and a world of splendid experience behind them.
After the game yesterday the freshies elected a captain, Walter Woods, their shifty litle quarter, the kid who came "clear from Illinois" to play football. The tyre made it clear that all the men stay in fair condition this winter, that they all turn out for spring training next May. Bond has picked the following men to take the trip: Ammons, Arnold, Burk, Gregg, Lindsey, Hide, Hide, Cowell, Kampert, McKone, Cowgill, Gray, Bohannon, Heath, and Thiele.

FRESHMEN SHOULDN'T WEAR H. S. BADGES
Student Council Ruling Forbids Little Pins Says Secretary Maloy
NUMBER 50.
"There has been considerable violation of the Student Council ruling against the wearing of high school pins," said Henry Maloy, secretary of the Meir's Student Council, today in the absence of President Dodd.
"On page sixty-three of the new directory, will be found a rule to this effect: 'The sentiment of the Uni-commencement of high school pins and letters.'
"Many freshmen and sophomores are disregarding this rule," says Maloy, "but the officers of the Council feel that it will be only necessary to call the attention of the students to the rule they served. The infringements are only by those who do not know of the rule, I think."
"Every University has such a ruling," he continued, "and many are very strict in the enforcement of it. Most universities paddle the freshmen caught wearing the badge of his high school or the pin of some local literary society not known at the University. There is no penalty here for violation of the rule; students are put on their honor."
The chief reason for the ruling, explained Maloy, is that the pins and letters mean nothing here at the University.

SOCIOLOGISTS WILL INVESTIGATE GREEKS
Department Will Send Questionnaire To Graduates On Fraternity Situation
The department of sociology completed plans today to make a thorough investigation of the fraternity situation at the University and to formulate constructive criticism from its findings.
The department will send out questionnaire to all graduates requesting an account of their peronal experiences and observation either as Greeks or independents as asked by the University whether there should be closer cooperation between the University and the fraternities.
"Most of the recent discussion about fraternity and sorority life has been individual surface opinion," said Prof. V. E. Helleberg of the department of sociology this afternoon. "There has been no actual investigation of conditions. The department proposes to make a thorough and impartial examination of the problem.
"As this is a matter of such vitai importance to the whole student world, it is assumed that every graduate and undergraduate will cooperate by throwing all the light on the problem. Due to the present time there has really been no adequate constructive criticism of the situation."
