The proceeds of the concert will go to the woman's dormitory fund.

The tour was made possible by a special act of congress and is the first time the band has left Washington for seven years. Including the director, the organization numbers sixty-seven musicians, each of whom has been chosen from the entire country for excellence on his special instrument.

There will be a concert in Topeka the night before and the musicians will arrive in their special train the next afternoon. They will leave for St. Joseph immediately after the concert in Robinson gymnasium.
The United States Marine band has been intimately connected with the great events of the nation for nearly a century. It was organized in 1816 during the administration of President Monroe. It is under the direct supervision of thepowers of "The President's Own Band." Permission to leave the capital is granted by special act of congress.
An Organization of Stars.
John Philip Sousa was for many years conductor of the organization and as such rose to his present fame as a director. He later left it and organized a band of his own. The band, founded in 1970 by Santelmann, has been a member of the band for several years and its leader for a number of seasons.
With the band on the tour is a soprano solist who formerly sang at Hammerstein's opera house in New York. She will sell selections from grand operas with the band as an accompanist.

Professor Rice Investigating Causes of Collapse of Kansas City Hotel
TO TRY ENORMOUS WEIGHT
Testing Machine to be used only one of its Kind in West-Other Tests made.
N. A. Rice, associate professor of civil engineering, returned yesterday evening from Kansas City, where he has been called to investigate the causes of the collapse of the Hotel Alameda, in which ten people were killed and injured. He examined the ruins and brought back with him six or eight samples of concrete from the building which he will test in the special machine for that purpose at the University. He will make these tests and return to Kansas City Saturday or Monday to give his testimony before the jury which is investigating the disaster. The machine which Professor Rice will use in these tests is probably the only one of its kind west of the University of Illinois. The machine crushes the sample and can exert a pressure of two hundred thousand pounds. Ordinary concrete can hold weights as heavy as 10 pounds and three thousand pounds to the square inch. To get the exact strength of the concrete sample specimens are made and tested after it has set from one to three months. The cement which is used in this concrete is also tested before it is used in the mixture. Professor Rice's testimony will be concerning the class of material which was used and whether or not it was properly mixed. He is often called on to give testimony and is considered

A CHURCH CRISIS SAYS REV. ELDERKIN
In Chapel Talk He Urge Students to Realize the Condition
"The people are on the way up, the church is on the way down," declared Rev. Noble S. Elderkin, speaking in chapel this morning. "That in short is the present status of the church and the people."
In an eloquent appeal to all University students to arouse to a realization of the crisis that now confronts the church in practically all countries of the world, Rev. E. Elderkin pointed out in no mincing way the evils that have to cling to the church, and repeated the recent accusation that the Church has not been facing the real problems of the day. "The Church is Not Keeping Un."
Without admitting that if all wealth is socially produced it should be socially shared, the church has taken advantage of that dispute to make a veiled attack on the growing cause of Socialism in the interest of the ruling class.
Miss Olivia Olson new instructor in voice sang two delightful solos.
"The charge is openly made now that the church is allied with land and capital against the people, and is therefore today a passive agent in all that pertains to the welfare of the people. The page that should tell of the afflictions of millions of slavery has not been written, as it should be by the church."
TO ADDRESS MAYORS OF KANSAS CITIES
In commenting on Rev. Elderkin's speech, Chancellor Strong affirmed these criticisms of the church. "Kansas is an agricultural country and has none of the serious problems of the church revolt," he said. "But the church crisis in the east is truly a very serious thing."

THE BUNCH THAT WILL FIGHT FOR KANSAS
Freshmen Put up Good Game and Score on Varsity; Line-up of
Tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 the 1912 football season of the University of Kansas will be officially opened. When Coach Mosse and his athletes trot out on the gridiron it will be to meet for the first time this year a foreign adversary and the rooters will have their first opportunity of seeing the Jayhawk squad in action. While not dressed like the opposing team is not dotted to put up a very close game with the Kansas eleven, they will no doubt fight for every inch given way and a fighting team is always an interesting sight.
The men who will represent the University of Kansas on the gridiron for the season of 1912 are, reading from left to right: Burnham, Hemphill, Von, Schriltz, Groft, Keeling, Murphy, Householder, Weldine, Helmett, Mitchell, Rosewarm, Harnet, Stueve, Coleman, Keperling, Rader, Tudor, Milton, Daniels, Blinco, Weide man, Spellings, Martin, Carson, Dimmitt, Detwleter, Sowers, Eisle, Miller, Ward, Holiday, Martin, Farley, Harrol, Magill, Parker, Rhine, Price. Front Row: McCarty, Brownlee, captain, Mosse, coach, Frank, assistant coach.
Teams.
Contrary to the previous plans for yesterday's practice, a heavy scriumimage was called with the freshmen last night. The playing was the best that has yet been seen on McCook field and a question arose in the minds of the fans whether the first year men had greatly improved or whether the

Varsity players were a little off. At all events the Freshman team put up an excellent game, scored once on a touch down and once on a place kick and far outpunted the best of the varsity men.
Mosse talks to freshmen.
Previous to the scrimage yesterday Coach Mosse called the 1916 men together and gave them a heart to heart talk concerning their first year in school. He said in part, "You men are now representing the best freshmen eleven that has appeared on the gridron for years. You have weight and a knowledge of the game and next year most of you should be in a position to do a great deal for your school. For that reason watch yourself this year so that nothing will interfere with your returning to the University in the future. Firstly, keep up in your studies and secondly, watch your habits and do not spend too much money. Good football material has been kept out of school because parents believed the boys spent too much money during the first year. If you will watch these points this year you can undoubtedly return next fall and be a part in turning out an ever-victorious team."
The tyros kicked off to the varsity last night and through a fumble regained possession of the ball and in a short time by a series of line bucks and a forward pass had made touch down on their more experience opponents. This is the first time that Coach Bond's hopes have crossed the line on the varsity squad and they were much elated over the feat. The varsity was then given possession of the ball during an outing of disruption in line bucking showed up well. Miller, Detiller and Coolidge played excellent in the back field and time and again found holes in the freshmen line for gains.
Freshmen Outpunted Varsity.
Punting was emphasised on both eams and in this way possession of the ball was constantly changing. Burham and Steuwe booted for the
