KANSAS SPIRIT RINGS THROUGH FRASER HALL
This Morning's Football Rally a Heart Thriller in Every Respect
"UNCLE JIMMIE" MADE APPEAL
Will see Real Kansas Spirit Tomorrow he Declares. Coaches Make Speeches.
The old Kansas spirit of the days of the All-Victorious team pervaded the biggest and most successful football rally of the year that was pulled off this morning after chapel. From the moment Cheer leader Dolde took the platform all kinds of "pep" were displayed. The students gave every sign they were in theAglais gorgo morrow with more than enough enthusiasm and encouragement to make up for the crippled condition of the team.
Manager Hamilton Explans
Incidentally, Manager Hamilton showed how University athletics would cost around $30,000 this year, and that whereas University students paid last year $400 toward athletics, that income was less than ahalf of actual expenses.
Manager Hamilton appeared before the student body and answered the criticism that has been heaped upon him the last week by the students in regard to the Enterprise tickets and the Missouri game. Taking the finances from the time he assumed the office of manager of athletics last October, he showed the exact state of athletic finances in the University and successfully answered the recent criticism against him. "I don't believe any of you know the exact condition of athletic finances," declared Manager Hamilton, "or this misunderstanding would never have come up. The fact alone that in past years Chancellor Strong, George, and other have had up personal notes at the Lawrence banks to maintain the athletics system here shows the justice of the raise in price. As to the extra dollar for the Missouri game, the contract calls for that; Missouri students last year had the same arrangement, and the only way we could possibly let students in on athletic tickets alone would be for the University itself to pay for such admission."
Uncle Jimmie Pleads.
Coach Mosse and Coach Frank gave characteristic speeches, asking for loyal support of the team tomorrow. But the speech of the morning came when "Uncle Jimmie" Green stepped before the student body and with tears in his eyes deplored the thoughtlessness of the students in ever permitting the team to return from Drake last Sunday without meeting it at the train. "Not one of the ghostly parade I spoke to the night after we walloped the Irish-

FACULTY TEA FOR MEN STUDENTS A SUCCESS
BULLETIN
Three Hundred And Fifty Were Served With Coffee And Doughnuts
Three hundred and fifty attended the first faculty ladies tea for the men students of the University yesterday afternoon and ever yone came away with the highest praise for the reception, and the faculty ladies as entertainers. In fact, all of them said they enjoyed it very much for besides meeting the wives of some of their favorite professors, they were served with a good cup of coffee and some doughnuts. Coffee was served instead of tea because some of the ladies thought the men might need the stronger stimulant after they came.
Miss Gardner and Miss White met the students at the door and presented them to Mrs. Sterling, Mr. Strong, who were on the receiving line.
Lessons and studies were tabooed as topics of conversation, and the ladies made it a point to see that the girls were entertained instead of bored.
"We are highly pleased with the success of our first reception," said Mrs. Ashton, chairman of the committee, this morning. "The men students responded in larger numbers than we had expected, and they appreciated our appreciation. If much if not more than the girls do at such affairs. We shall probably repeat the performance some time in the future."
WEATHER.

Fair tonight and Saturday. Warmer in western portion.
A final rally of University men to try out new songs and yells will be held at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon in Fraser hall. Cheer Leader Dolde will preside and the committee of judges in the song contest composed of Professors Rice, Croissant and Thorpe will announce the winning anthems. Short three minute talks will be made by each of the faculty men and the new songs will be practised. Promptly at two o'clock, the rooters will be led by the band to the field in time to greet the team when it appears. The rooting section at the game will be reserved for the men. The judges want to see the songs tried out by the students before they make their decision.

CHANCELLOR FAVORS
PARENT'S DAY PLAN
Dr. Strong Urges Students To Take Up The Idea
DEAN TEMPLIN WANTS I
Fraternities, Sororities and Student
rate Council Should Push the Plan for Parents Entertainment.
Chancellor Frank Strong this afternoon declared himself heartily in favor of a movement to set aside one University day on which to entertain the parents of the students. All parents would be invited to visit the campus during the day, according to the plan approved by the program, which could be given for their entertainment.
"The students and student organizations should start and carry out a plan for a Parents' Day," said the Chancellor, "and they are assured of all the help that we, the faculty and regents can give them."
"The regents suggested such a plan some time ago, and I cannot conceive of a better plan to put the students' parents in closer touch with University.
"The University and its surroundings are most beautiful in the fall and spring, and then it is too late, however, to have such a day this fall but it should be carried out early in the spring.
"I think this movement should be promoted by the students themselves," said Dean Olin Templeton.
"The Men and Women's Student Councils should take it up, and the fraternities and sororites should also be asked to co-operate with them. The fall would be the ideal time. The hill is the most beautiful then, and the students are more anxious about the students at that time than in the winter or spring."
A few of the fraternities now have a Mother's Day, but if the whole student body could be induced to take it up, a day would properly be set aside for it. The entertainment would be provided by the students for their fathers and mothers.
CHRISTIAN IN POLITICS
Subject Will Be Discussed By H. M. Beardsley At Y. M. C. A. Sunday
H. M. Beardisley, ex-mayor of Kansas City, Mo., will speak on "The Christian Man in Politics," at the regular meeting of the University Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon at three o'clock in Myers hall.
Mr. Beardside is a graduate of the University of Illinois. He has been in Kansas City for many years, having a large law practice. He has taken an active part in all public affairs, educational, and religious. For years he has been president of the M. C. A. of Kansas City; he is president of the Federation of Churches of Kansas City and president of the national brotherhood of the Congregational church.
"Few men in public life have the universal respect of their fellow citizens, including men of all parties, as has Mr. Beardswey," said Roy Stockwell, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. this morning.
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS CAUSE DESTITUTION
Jacob Billikopf Declares Present Labor Condition To Blame For Unemployed
SEEK TO IMPROVE CONDITIONS
Board of Public Welfare in Kansas City Assist Poor by Anticipating Their Need
Their Need.
"Economic conditions are responsible for the great army of unemployed," declared Jacob Billikopf, director of the board of public welfare of Kansas City, in his chapel speech this morning. "The destitute conditions prevalent among the poor of the great cities is directly tracable to labor conditions in the United States. The result of investigations in New York show that during normal times there are 15 to 25 per cent of the population that are unemployed. During abnormal conditions this rises to 35 per cent. In Kansas City, investigation of the winter and disclosed the fact that there were 5,200 men and women in the city that were out of employment.
"Such conditions as these cause the deplorable conditions found among the poor. Vice, crime and a thousand other evils rise to drag the people down. Petty crimes are committed by the thousands. Our board of public welfare in Kansas City is for the purpose of alleviating these conditions as much as possible, especially in the case of the petty offenders against the case that when a small offense is committed the offender is put in jail with characters that will undermine what good impulses the person may have left. Public Welfare Board, Repr.
"We try to improve these conditions by anticipation of the needs of the poor and put in their hands a possible means to help themselves without having to recourse to crime. The use of the parole system has come to be a great moral hospital for criminals. When a man is placed under our charge he is pledged to leave his former associates, perform some useful labor, abstain from use of liquor, bring to the Board a certain part of his wages to be paid to his family, (where he is accused of nonsupport), and to report to the board once a week as to his work and recreation. If he fails to live up to the pledge, he is taken back to prison to serve a sentence three times as long as the one to which he was originally sentenced. Out of 5,000 men and women only 15 cent have been sent back. "Free legal aid dispensaries, municipal quarries and our big city farm are some of the means that we use to furnish healthful employment."

"O MA HONEY"-THAT BAND SHOULD PLAY IT
Mozart Musical Club Demands Ragtime Selection From Marine Band
That the U. S. Marine Band should play at least one rantime selection at its program here on Saturday, Nov. 4, was a resolution passed last night by the Mozart Musical Club at it regular weekly meeting in Fraser hall. The concert did not feature the concert unless they were assured that their request would be granted.
"We in the west have been afflicted with much bad ragtime," said the president of the club this morning, "and we are anxious to hear ragtime properly played. This band should be able to play it if anyone could and we shall insist that a ragtime selection be played by them. We believe that properly played it should be a treat to the audience and will be thoroughly enjoyed by them. "We realize of course that the funds from this are to be used for a good purpose, and should regret to be compelled to do anything to spoil the success of the occasion, but if the management fails to show a due regard for the wishes of their patrons we shall not only remain away ourselves but shall inuce everyone we can to stay away. This is one of the strongest and best musical clubs in the University and I am sure that our influence will be felt.
"Nothing could be more inspiring, handled by master musicians, than 'Everybody's Doin' It Now' or 'Alexander's Rugtime Band.'

MUST FIGHT TO WIN SAYS COACH MOSSE

Kansas Will Have Hard Struggle With Aggies Tomorrow
YOU! MR, ROOTER HELP
Team Needs Support of Every Man in Thundering Thousand—Squad in Poor Shape for Contest.
"Prospects of a Kansas victory in Saturday's contest are the worst that the present Jayhawker squad has faced," said Coach Mosse this morning in speaking of the Agie game.
"To win, every man will have to be playing at his top speed and under the present conditions many of the strongest players are not able to play in that form on account of the poor rooker should be in. Every possible rooker should be in." The team will fight much better if backed by a bunky, bungee of a graduate.
Without considering the dope put out by the Jayhawker mentor the prospects are far from rosy. The Farmer boys are coming here with every man in the best condition, in fact even the cripples are reported to be able to play if necessary. On the other hand the Jayhawker aggregation will line up with six men out of the game on account of ineligibility and injuries. It is very improbable that either Coolidge, Hatcher, Stueke, Davis, Magill, or Miller will be able to play.
The one ray of hope in the gobs of gloom overhanging the Mosso-Frank camp is the return of Martin. Martin is one of the fastest half back on the squad. He was unable to play in the Drake disaster through ineligibility in his studies but has finally managed to get by the profs arain.
On kicking the Aggies will have quite an edge on the Kansans as Burlam the big Jayhawk booter's dicks are short ten yards when compared to Prather's punts. Prather consistently boots fifty vards .
After a week of experiment in shifts to fill up the hole left by Hatcher's injury, left guard has finally been turned over to Groft, who was brought in from tackle. Weidline will take Groft's place at tackle. Helvien doles to hold the center position down through the whole Manhattan town map, and the line have all worked well and we strengthen the line to some extent but for the inexperience of the men at their new positions.

"UNCLE JIMMIE"
A gray haired cherub, gently smiling, rose and talked to old K. U. and first, the time beguiling, talked of things that made us blue. Things the student council told him; and the awful heresy; signing notes to keep us going, in our fight for mastery. Then he started in to chide us, chide us where the chiding stung and we sat there bowed in silence, every student's head was hung. Every person knew that Jimmie had been there to meet the team, and his love and Kansas spirit, shone out like a bright star's gleam. Uncle Jimmie loves the students, with a heart big and true, and his loyalty unwav'ring, thrilled the hearers through and through. "No one loves you more than I do, no one on earth will help you more, and no one here will chide you quicker, when your spines watch the score." Thus he called us, speaking gently, called us in the proper style, and each loyal Kansas rooter, will remember for a while.
