GRUDGE CAUSES ATTACK
K. U. Freshman Escapes Beat ing From Unidentified Men By Mere Chance
A freshman, who refused to give his name, but who was said to be Verling Welker, was attacked by two unidentified men Friday night in South Park and apparently escaped a beating by the timely arrival of women passersby. The woman was held by the freshman fled, when the requests of the women gave him an opportunity to get away, and escaped with a few small bruises and torn clothing. He said the attack was the result of a grudge caused by his having passed a man from a bicycle the previous while walking through park.
Students Crowd Library For Study and Referenc
The freshman said the man on the bicycle would have run him down had he not jumped aside quickly and fended the man off with his hands. This action threw the bicycle and its rider to the ground and the man muttered threats as he remounted and rode away. The freshman believed it was the bicycle rider and a companion who waited for him and attached himself to the backpack. He was attacked without warning, he said, and was in the way of receiving a vigorous beating when the passershy interfereed.

Notice
Stem Foster Added to Coaching Staff Means a Boost to Team
K. U. SQUAD WILL BE CHOSEN THIS WEEK
Thirty-Five Are Candidates
lackfield is Several Men Short But is Star Material
The end of this week will see completion of preliminary practice, and the picking of the K. U. football squad by the coaches. Kabler, and "Red" Desmond, two "K>U" men at the guard positions, will be out for the first time for practice this week, and all the K. U. sound candidates, as far as is known.
The backfield, though still several men short of the ideal number of candidates, is composed of star material, and supplies fifteen men from which to pick backfield squad, and seventeen to twenty-five from which to select the staff. If KU must have to stop the pick of the Missouri valley rushes.
The addition to the coaching staff of "Stem" Foster, valley quarterback of renown, will add greatly to the theatricality and dynamism of the Crimson and Blue this fall.
35TH VETERAN IN BACK FIELD The backhill men out include Walter Wood, James Krobes, Tom Pringle, Michael Gansel, Heather Tad,筷 Russ, Cowgill, Clarence Bernard, C. B. Randall, Frank Mandeville, David Lupher, Webb Wilson, Elmer Shurtleff, and George Bailey. From these Linden, who is doing most of the buck field coaching of Carly will select from ten to twelve.
Lupher has been showing up very well at the quarter position, his army training with the Thirty-Fifth division team and added weight seeming to be increasing as soon ago, when he regulated the freshman plays from the same position.
Walter Wood, who starred against Nebraska from the quarter position in J16, has been showing up better in the last few days than he did at the team's best. He is also good bet. Webb Wilson and George Bailey are the other two candidates for the position. Wilson has worked hard so far, but Bailey has been out to practice only a couple of times, as well as play, and has this week to make good in.
PRINGLE IS CRIPPLED
The other eleven backfired men for the most part can be used at either half or full in the K. U. formations, and present an excellent showing. Tom Pringle is a cripple this week, getting hit by the ball Thursday, but his size and plunging ability of '16 and '17 insure him a place on the squand, and his playing this year has gone still further in raising him in the estimation of K. U.
Bernard, C. B. Randall, and Mandeville are all old men, who came back from the army and are fast making good again on McCook. Tad Reid and Bernard are ends, but are showing up well at the half positions since switched to that position since the shortage of backfield men was discovered. John Bum, Jimmy Knoles, Loren Simon and Charles Heizer are all fast learning what a new job would be, memory of students of the last two years, and if the first two weeks' practice means anything, are better than ever.
In the line, the severity of men is alarming in that there are not enough men to fill any unforeseen vacancies caused by injuries. Five or six men were out of the Varsity line from injuries and other causes, and the men who were in the line were the only linemen, practically, on the field. The ends are capably held by Lonborg and Laudett, who are now working in the backfield. C. B. Randal and David Jones, who are ending ends who have been working intermittently at the wing positions and in the backfield.
Russ Cowlson is a 1916 "K" man who just turned out last week. Coach Lindsay has been using him a great deal, and he's shown the speed and line-bucking ability. Elmer Shurliff is one of the few new men who have turned out for the varsity back position, and under Meester he has been able to ball-carry qualities, and line-bucking to make competition on the squad serious for the other men.
Tackle prospects are scare, but the material is good. George Nettleton is the best one of the bunch, and if he can hold through the season will pro-

The Bible saying "to those that have shall be given" is true in the case of Frieda Hempel, who will open the University Orchestra Course, Thursday evening, Oct. 30, in Robinson Auditorium. Miss Hempel's husband is William Kahn, the well known composer and creator of something over $50,000,000. Evidently Mr. and Mrs. Kahn are unable to live on the income of this amount, for Miss Hempel charges, and will receive $1,200 for a single night in Lawrence. As she songs three times a week during the entire season and re-read her script, she agrees that the Kahns should at least be able to have meat three times a week.

But Robbers Returned Time
Piece When Dietz Said It
Was Gift of Mother
it was a tenderhearted pair of highwayman that held up and robbed Sterling Dietz, e23, while he was on the way to his room at 917 Ohio Street, abut midnight Saturday night. Dietz was near Eleventh and Ohio Street, in front of him in front of him. One of them pushed a revolver in his face and ordered him to put up his hands. Instead, he grasped the barrel of the weapon and pulled it down. The other then drew the knife that both were armed, submitted.
They turned about and compelled him to walk between them while they searched his pockets for valuables, taking his watch and pocketbook, which contained $15 in currency, five pesos in Mexican money, and seventy-five cents in small change. They kept the currency and the Mexican money, and returned the pocketbook and the cash, and also contained some blink checks and some of Dick's calling cards. The robbers kept these, too.
The kindness of the highwaymen in returning the pocketbook and the small coins gave Dietz a cue for saving his watch.
"Men," he replied, "my mother gave me that watch just before she died. If you'll give it to back to me or take it to money at any place on your name," he
"Give him back the watch," said one of the robbers to the other. The watch was handed over. The robber they reached Teeth and Ohio Streets.
"Do you go down Ohio Street?" one of the men asked Diefz, as the three paused at the crossing. Diefz replied in the affirmative and
Dietz replied in the affirmative, and continued on down the street. The two robbers stood on the corner until they came upon a woman who walked east on Tenth Street.
The street lights had gone out only a few minutes before the robbers hit Ditz, but a flash of lightning in the air to see that both were bareheaded.
The robbers did not designate a place for Dietz to leave money in return for the watch.

Plain Tales From The Hill
One of the members of a fraternity was boasting at the dinner table of the wonderful checkered shirt he had just bought downtown and how none had anything like it.
