COACHES FACING A BAD SITUATION
Kansas Machine Badly Battered-Must Plug Holes for Aggie Game
MAY NECESSITATE A SHIFT
Tried at End.
Weidline Probably Will be Trans ered to Guard—Bramwell to be
The situation faicing the present Kansas mentor appears to be one of the hardest to solve ever experienced in Kansas football circles. Starting the season with prospects of a winning team a continuous streak of bad back lately has followed in the wake of the team so that with the Argie game but a week off the coach has to refill the position of guard, full back, and half back. To win from the Arggies under these conditions will be a feat in the development of football material.
Both Stuewe and Hatcher are out of it for several weeks at least, due to the injuries received in the Drake contest and new men will have to be found to take their positions. In addition to this Martin and Miller are out temporarily on a question of eligibility in their studies. It is improbable that either will be allowed to play against the Manhattan gridironers. The one ray of hope is Burnham's booting of the pigskin.
Mosse Counts the Cripples Last night's practice consisted for the most part of a count of the available material. The team as a whole seemed to be in pretty poor condition, and the practice was providing good many bruises in Saturday' contest. The practice was concluded with light signal work.
Weidline was put in Hatcher's position at guard and Bramwell placed at end. Helvern took Milton's place at center. Price, Rambo and Detweller occupied the backfield. The biggest need seems to be of a fast backfield man for end runs. Coolidge is in poor condition on account of his leg and Martin the only other available man is out. The crisis along with the rest will be up to the coaches to solve before next Friday.
ALUMNI ARE COMING.

MAY GO TO ST. LOUIS
Coach Root Plans an Extended Trip for Soccer Team
Coach Root has been in correspondence with Washington University and Christian Brothers College of St. Louis, Mo., for the past week endeavoring to arrange soccer games with these schools sometimes before December 1. He is also planning to stop on the way for a game at some intermediary school. These three games will necessitate nearly a week's layoff and Mr. Root has decided, if the trip is arranged, to leave here on such a day as will allow the team to send Sunday in St. Louis.
"I want more men out for the team," Coach Root says. "It looks as if several of the regular players will be retired on account of back work and I need more men to take over." He adds that they normally assured for the soccer team, there ought to be several men out for every position."
WASHBURN GETS ASSISTANT COACH
Dexter, M. U. Halfback to Help Driver Get Blues in Shape for K. U.
Like all other teams Washburn is beginning early to get ready for the football tangle with K. U. D. E.Dexter, halfback at Missouri University last year, has arrived at the Blue camp in Topeka and will assist Dr. E.Driver in getting a team in shape to battle with the Jayhawkers.
Washburn's new assistant coach will take charge of the backfield work and will point the men for the Jay-hawker contest. Saturday the Topeka team will have an easy game with Ottawa University while the Kansas bunch will have a hard fight against the Manhattan Aggies.

CAN JAYHAWKERS STOP K. U. AMAZONS JOG AGGIES' OPEN PLAY? STRENGTH RECORD
Farmer Boys Proficient Kickors and Forward Pass Flippers
With but four more days of preparation for the struggle with the Jayhawker cripples, every bit of spare time and energy is being bent to round the Aggie team into it's best playing strength. At present only one position at the team is weak. Amidst the injuries received in games and scrimmages both Pollium and Dresser, the quarter backs are not in best playing form, and this may cripple the team somewhat.
The line which proved easy going for the heavier Cornhuskers has been considerably strengthened, as shown by its playing against the State Normals. With the speediest backs of the Mose-Frank aggregation out of Saturday's game, it looks like a stiff proposition for the regular line plumgers. As a result, the team will weigh almost the same as the Kansas line men and will probably keep the Jayhawker beef on their toes to out rush them.
In the kicking department Kansas will again be handicapped. Prather, the Manhattan full back is averaging an easy fifty yards to a punt. Whether or not Burham will be able to develop enough speed to make quite a difference in the playing strength of the two teams.
The Lowman aggregation play a some what open game, their one touchdown against the Cornhuskers being on a forward flip. The Kansas Steam Roller showed up poorly in breaking up this of his team's coaching awards stopping this scoring method will be necessary this week.
it is evident that with the Lowman men using this style of play and Kansas in her crippled condition playing as she did against Drake it would be "grapes" for the Farmer boys. With Kansas strengthened to resist this system it will mean that the Aggies will have to resort to line plunging and it is certain that no great gains will be made at that point.

ficient in an orchestra as well as a band instrument, for at the White House receptions they always play as an orchestra. Those who play the first parts in the band, play the second in the orchestra; and the second musicians in the band are the first in the ensemble. The musical ability is demanded of even the minor performers. The result of this is perfect ensemble work.
"In Washington the band has its own music hall at the Marine Barracks, where the daily rehearsals are held, and during the winter, weekly concerts are given to the public. It plays at all official receptions at the White House, heads all inaugural or other official parades, and during the summer gives two out-door public concerts each week.
"Mr. Saintlemann is really a man of some distinction, has composed music of a distinctly high order, and has had the degree of Doctor of Music conferred on him by the George Washington University. His special instrument is the violin, though he can play any instrument used by the band. His theoretical knowledge of music was obtained at Leipsi, Germany, one of the chief musical centers of Germany, as well as the seat of one of its chief universities.

Plays for Egg Rolling at Easter.
"One concert that the band gives accompanies a peculiarly Washington custom. On Easter Monday it is the custom to roll eggs. The children come to the White House grounds with their baskets of dyeed eggs, roll them down the gentle slopes, or pick them to see which has the hardest, and listen to the Marine Band while the White House party listens from the door which you see not the Grown People who do not admitted uncompanied by children and some children make quite a little money piloting pseudo parents through the gate. It is sometimes embarrassing to the adopted parent to be turned back by the guard who has at last spotted the youngster by his frequent entrances and exits."

Send Previous Marks Aviating in Lung, Grip and Endurance Tests
Phenomenal records in breathing and strength tests were established by three K. U. girls during the physical examinations this fall. Announcement of these new marks were made at the office of the physical department this afternoon.
"I have never seen the records of lung breathing, which was raised to 275 cun., the grip of the hand, which was raised to 105, and the strength of the extensors test which was raised to 515 K, equaled in any institution, declared Margaret C. Bates, director of physical education. These new marks were made by girls of the university during physical examination this month.
"It has been interesting to compare the Kansas and the New England type of athletic girl. As might be expected, a greater number of eastern girls swim, but in just as great a proportion does the westerner excel in horseback riding.
"Basket ball, the general favorite,
has about as many followers there as
here. While I have noticed extremely
golden dancers among the K. U. girls,
one sees more girls who do not dance
here than in the east. It is my impression
that generally speaking, the eastern
girl gets more training in informal
gymnastics, but nothing pleases the
girls here more than to turn the gymnasium hour into basket-ball, or volley ball.
"But there is one thing that I cannot praise the Kansas girl too much, and that is in her physical build.
"However when it comes to enthusiasm for sports, the spirit shown by the K. U. girls cannot be beaten. This and the cordial attitude toward strangers, teachers or otherwise—wherein the western girl are without a doubt superior to their eastern sisters makes a most encouraging outlook for the year's athletic work."
GGIE ROOTERS COMING
"On to Kansas" is the Cry in the Camp of the Aggies
Aggies
"On to Kansas," this is the slogan which the Manhattan rooters have adopted. It is the intention of the students of the Kansas State Agricultural school to at least two hundred and fifty rooters accompany their team to Lawrence next Saturday in preparation of a victory. "It's our year to win," they say and the team is daily practicing with this intention.
The Aagie lung experts will arrive some time the morning of the game on a special train along with the team. A section has already been re-enacted in the book and there will be no lack of noise from other side during the fraces.
SOCCER CRAZE SPREADING.
Game - Will Chuang
Soccer threatens to take a prominent part in athletic circles in the near future. Last year many of the high schools introduced it into their athletes and this year numerous independent teams are taking up the sport. A local organization has taken up the game at Topeka and intends, under the leadership of Tom Powell, to challenge the Root aggregation of the University of Kansas.

Dr. Naismith Organizing Shooting Team to Compete With Other Universities
"We have just commenced the organization of a rifle club this week," said Dr. Naismith this morning, "and early indications point to a large membership. It is a national organization and the object, the encouragement of rifle shooting, is approved by the NCAA. There are small and every student who is at all interested in this sport should join."
The officers of the new club are a president, secretary, treasurer, and captain. These officers arrange for inter-collegiate league matches to be carried on every winter immediately following the Christmas holidays. Medals will be given to those who exert themselves in these duties take place within the college and do not entail a long trip to the contestants. All those who desire to become charter members of the club should see Dr. Naismith at once.
