VAN DER VRIES IS IN SCHOOL
Shifty Star on 1911 Team is After Berth—Other Good Material Is Showing Up.
The opening "basket-ball" practice of the season for the Varsity was held Tuesday night in Robinson gymnasium, but, as many of them did not include the Manager and Coach himself, wished to get to the Bowersock theater in time to see the opening of the "Tlk-Tok Man of Oz", the practice for the Bowersock short talk by Manager Hamilton and a few words from Captain Sproull.
More than 40 men turned out for the season, and with this amount of matches and Coach Hamilton should have lit a championship team. shipling
Among the most promising candidates who reported for the opening season were Smith, forwards; Weaver, center; and Dumire, and Greenlees, in the second half. The leaders of basket-ball "KIS," the emblems having been won by the last five during last season's campation, Vries captured his initial in 1911.
This abundance of Varsity men should not stand in the path of other men trying to forge a place on the five, and at any time a "dark horse" may step into the running and upset all the favorites" of his station.
Among the leading candidates, other than the "K" men, who are working hard to gain position on the team at Wall Street, Hammons and Strothers, all members of last year's tyco aggregation, Brown, Painter, and Weidlein, subs in the organization, Falk, Fokks a dashing guard on Czech Frank's 1912 college quintet.

VAUDEVILLE REPLACES CIRCUS
Football Schedule
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 9, 1913.
The annual indoor circus will not be given this year, according to Coach H. W. Hargiss, Prof. C. B. root's success as head gymnastian instructor. A vaudeville show, combining real acting and the music of the work of the physical training department, will be substituted in its place.
The indoor circus has been an annual affair since 1909, and the attendance last year broke all previous records. "A similar entertainment tried three years in at the College, but this was a big first two years and then fell at the third year," said Coach Hargissgirl. "So our circus will rest one year, and it is hoped that by bringing in comedy and cutting down the length of the show this year we made a real sensation. The details of the acts have not yet been definitely worked

STUDENTS MAY HEAR JAPANESE ARTISTS
"Along the Road To Tokio Opens Concert Course Tonight
"Along the Road to Tokio," an original Japanese musical sketch, by two natives of that country, will be given tonight at Fraser hall as the first number on the Fine Arts Concert Course.
There are eight folk songs sung in Japanese, several European musical numbers and many native dances. I am proud of the way I bowed: A young Japanese girl joyfully traveling to Tokio meets various typical characters, a jingling fiddle strumming, a street musician, and finally her lover, returning from the Russian war. A temptation to restore my childhood brings out her character and devotion to Japan.
This sketch, presented by Mr. and Mrs. Ongawa, two Japanese entertainers, is both musical and dramatic. The dancers dance before, presented here.
The doors will be closed promptly at 8:15 and those coming late will not be seated until after the first scene. Enterprise tickets held by students will afford admission to the entertainment tonight.
Mrs. Ongawa is a graduate of Oberlin Conservatory of Music and has also studied in various cities of the United States of Europe. Mr. Ongawa is a native of Japan.

A news note from the Daily Illini, the student paper of the University of Illinois, reports in its exchange columns that fifty men have already reported for the university of Missouri, and more candidates are coming out each day. Considering that yesterday afternoon but twelve men reported to Coach Hamilton for their win on McCarthy, only one州 candidate has this number a Varsity runner, the Jayhawkers had better be getting an early workout.
Each fraternity at Illinois has volunteered to support of its own free will the football eleven for two weeks, the dining table for different houses until the season comes to its close. The house cook prepares each meal, while the athletic department attends to the purchasing of the food. This plan not only helps in preparing a table of an efficient dining table for the men without meeding any deception as to it real purpose, but at the same time exerts a great influence toward getting at the men acquainted with their needs, but not meet otherwise, and provides for the social life of the team at the same time.
FRESHMEN TEAR UP THE VARSITY'S LINE

The Varsity football eleven suffered a severe tongue-lashing at the hands of Coach Leonard Franklin, who scrimmage with the freshmen, they permitted this aggregation of tyros to march through their stone-grounds and, amidst the sand, past the rock-crushing back field for a teachdown in the first three minutes of play. This snappy offensive drill was perfectly upset the regulars, and it was only in response to the frenzied cries of Coach Moshe to "Get-mad, fellows," that they came to life and repulsed the shifty young-

So great is the interest that besides the regulation bills and possession paid advertisements in tonight's Daily Kansas while yesterday a litter jackhammer had been snatched before and after a man on the hill advertising another ticket.
The closest fight of the election tomorrow will probably come in the junior class, where the presidency with its many appointive "plums" is considered one of the most important elective offices in the school.

The officers of the freshman class are therefore: Don Harrison, president; John McBain, president; Margaret McBlain, secretary; Henry Ammons, treasurer.
