THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
UNCLE JIMMY BACKED TEAM TO LAST STANI
Urged Support When Odds Seemed Heavy—Men Won Victory
(From University Daily Kansan, Nov. 16. 1917.)
"It's going to be a hard game. I do hope none of the boys will get hurt. They'll have to fight hard—just as they always have to fight hard against Nebraska. But Nebraska has been beaten before and she can be beaten again. Our boys can do the job." "Uncle Jimmy" Green.
It was back in 1905 when "Uncle Jimmy" first began to "forecast" victories. That year, the team had been a good one; but for some unaccountable reason the week before the Nebraska game, the boys went to Topesa High School. The team still chuckle with them when they talk about the "time they beat K. U."
Naturally, losing to Washburn was rather disheartening. About three days before the Nebraska contest it became aparent that the team wasn't going to get much support from the rooters, as hardly anyone planned to make the trip to Lincoln to see the game.
"Uncle Jimmy" was worried. In those days, the University had a morning prayer service which all students were required to attend; and so, after the service Friday morning, "Uncle Jimmy" gave permission to speak to the students.
"I was the first speech I ever asked the privilege of making in my life," he said in recalling the occasion. "I had made up my mind to get up there and give them a good talk to for me. But I didn't want to walk over it. I decided that the boys had just lost faith, and that I did better if I tried to help them regain it. And so I told them a good team we had, and what fine players the boys were, and how we could stand back of the team.
"Me meet at the depot in the morning,' I told them, 'and we'll go to Nebraska to win."
More than five hundred rosters responded to the plea, and the special to Nebraska next day was loaded to the guards. "And I never heard such Ursula Jimmy. 'It was great because we had something to cheer about."
GRID GOSSIP
In use the Sooners resort to their farn-famed aerial attack, they will find a defense that has been fairly successful in the art of breaking up passes this year. Laslett and Lonborg are strong against the passing game and Tad Reid showed his class by intercepting or breaking up a good share of the Aggie passes last Saturday.
Oklahoma has defeated Kingfisher,
Central Oklahoma Normal and Texas
this year, has lost to the strong Kendall
team, and has tied Nebraska and Missouri-
an envil record. According to the story of the game at Norman last Saturday, the Sooners outplayed Missouri in every department except the kicking end, where Missouri has "Chuck" Lewis.
Anyway you figure it, the game on McCook tomorrow will be one of the best of the season, and Kanaas is figuring on winning.
The Jayhawkers are well supplied with substitutes this year, both in the backfield and line. There's an extra pair of good tackles in Church Park, where we have hold down the ends several times in scrimmage. Gress and Hart have alternated at center, and Bunn, Simona, Lupher, Heizer, Cowell, and Skirlett are all first class backs who have good every time they go a chance.
Bunn's passing may show to advantage Saturday in case he gets into the game at quarter in place of Wallace. But he'll be around on a badly sprained ankle.

Alton, IL. In 1976, the football players here about are wondering what Ivy Winkler would do if he had both arms.
It will take only 130 signatures to get the train. The fare for the round trip is $12.5 and anyone wishing to make the trip may learn how to get on the train by calling the cheerleader. More information will be published in Monday's Kannan.

1-Armed Grid Man Big Yardage Gainer
Winkler is the 1-armed tackle of the Alto football team this season. He has played every game so far. With the pigskin tuck under his one arm, he has gained many yards for the Alton eleven. He has also proved himself a star tackler and valuable in breaking up plays.

"The freshman women have gained in weight and improved in health since their arrival at K. U." according to Dr. Martha Bacon of the department of physical education. "I re-examined several of the freshmen from the past year and almost invariably they have improved in health and weight."
Freshman Women Have Gained in Weight and Health Through Exercise
"The swimming pool also furnishes a wholesome pleasant sport which will not fail to prove profitable to those who take advantage of it. It is one of the best courses a requirement for every woman on the Hill. Advanced courses in Hygiene for the sophomore, junior and senior women would also be a great benefit. Women should be healthy, and consequently, happier if there was a ruling to this effect."
"I know there is a feeling among the women that 'gym' is a nuisance, but it should be considered a privilege. You can be healthy body in a woman's most precious possession. Everyone can find enjoyable work for herself in this department. There are th classes in aesthetic dancing. Besides being enjoyable these classes develop the beauty and beauty which all women so desire."
Doctor Bacon attributes this to the physical education which the women have been taking.
