KANSAS TEAM READY TO MEET OKLAHOMA
Jayhawkers Determined And Not Over-Confident of Saturday's Outcome
Sooners Have Heavy Line
Local Players, With Few Exceptions, are in Best of Condition
When the Oklahoma Sooners arrive in Lawrence Saturday for the annual clash with the Jayhawkers they will meet a team that is determined, yet not over-confident. Aside from bruises, only three men are out of condition. Walter Wood has a sprained ankle from Agglead day and "Dutch" Lonborg's knee is still grazing. The team's defensive tackle, has a gathering in his head which is very painful at the slightest bump
If Lonborg is in, Simon will probably take Mandeville's place in the backfield, rather than Bunn, because Simona is more of a line smaller than Bunn. If Lonborg does not get in the game Saturday, Bell or Davidson will take his place, while Ronald will capture "Scribble" Lastett will officiate.
Mandeville, speedy half, will not play Saturday, according to Coach Leen McCarty, because he has grown stale and lost considerable of his speed. If Wood or Lonborg are not in the game, Bunn will probably play quarter and do the kicking for the team.
Big George Nettels will be on one of the tackle positions and if Kampter is unable to play then Marcen or Church will take his place. "Tiny Rable and Wint Smith will take care of the Oklahoma 225-pound guards. The start will probably start passing the ball back from the center position.
The Sooners will bring to Kansas the pick of the Oklahoma beef industry, the line averaging 200 pounds of beef. The high plunging backfield instead of the usual light shifty backfield of other years. In fact, Benny Owens says that he has the best team as the most skilled in the history of Oklahoma football.
The lineup that will probably start the game Saturday is as follows:
Q. Whitney
le.- R. Johnson
lc.- D. Johnson
d.- J. Johnson
g.- McKinley
e.- Hamm
rg.- Deacon (Capt)
s.- Smoot
m.- Campbell

NUMBER 10
Observeance of armistice day at the University by the dismissal of all classes for the day is advertised in a book, and the University offers an junior social society. Thursday night. A letter containing a copy of the resolution is to be written to the Board of Administration urging the holiday. The book will also be sent to the chancellor.
"There seems to be a certain vagueness as to who has the power to declare the holiday," said Bill Wella, president of the Owls. "For this reason, I am not a authority wherever there seems to be any authority in the matter."
"We believe armistice day will in time become a national holiday, marking as it does the end of the biggest war this country ever waged. We don't need to know that such a day can be observed fitfully only by the dismissal of all classes."
Service is the new keynote of America. Stimulated by the war with its poignant appeal to humanity, the spirit of service has been awakened in the heart of American democracy. A suffering world for four years of war has brought out the best in mankind together with the worst, and the best has remained a permanent characteristic of our nation.
BACK UP YOUR SPIRIT
The Red Cross which nourished this spirit throughout the war will continue to enhance it as a peace organization. Its work has only begun. As long as people live there will be wounds to heal. The need of ministration to the suffering has decreased only in degree. Its efforts in the future are to be centered on the relief work at home, no less necessary than its work on the battlefield. Spread before this humanitarian n organization is the constructive program of peace.
but to carry on the business of humanity funds are just as necessary as in any other business. Good motives must be locked by cash or the Red Cross is helpless. If you have not invested your dollar in a Red Cross membership it's too late yet. Back up your spirit of service or it will fac into selfishness.

Organizer
Stafford, Kan, Nov. 7 — A raid on a Non-Partisan League team meeting here last night, when O. E. Wood, an organizer from Lincoln, Neb., was muked in behalf of the organization, came near developing info'o a lynching.
An organized crowd entered the opera house where the meeting was being held. The audience evidently intent upon taking Wood from the speaker's platform, but the crowd seeing what was up rushed in the room with rough tastes and Wood naively moved.
Jay McFadden, a prominent farmer, chosen to introduce the speaker and who is said to be a member of the league, was on the platform at the time. He attempted to stop the crowd from entering at the rear of the hall where he was seized and taken from the hearth by the last hall after several minutes. It was not discovered that McFadden was missing.
McFadden was taken to a straw stack near this city where the crowd was convinced they had the wrong man and released him.
Wood completed his talk after quiet was restored and still was in the city this morning.
More than fifty men participated in the raid.
