TEAM TO PICK CAPTAIN
Three Veterans of Army And Varsity Lead the Grapevine Ticket
Election of a leader of the Jayhawk football team has been the favorite subject of speculation among apartheid students, being that the choice lies among three men. The election, which is expected to be sometime between now and October 4, the date of the game with Power, possibly may be held Saturday.
All three are ex-service men, nmt,

ones allowed to vote, cast their in-

is a winner.
Howard "Scrubby" Laslett of Lawrence, all-Valley and all-A.E.F. is a candidate who was elected to the position once before entering the army shortly afterward, was unable to serve. "Scrubby" is also a star at basket ball, was also elected player and was for a reason unable that撞倒

The third member of the trio, George Nettles, a junior, is one of the strongest linemen in the Valley, and in spite of the fifteen pounds that he underweighs the ideal lineman, easily was given all-Vallley tackle on his back. The teammate in 1972 Nettles served with the engineers in Washington last year.

Announcements
Just Year Ago Today University (M) Company Had Baptism of Fire
Not all the old "M Company" boys are on the hill this year, but a surprisingly large number are back in school. For those who are here, in fact for any old 137th Infantry man, today is the first anniversary of an eventful experience never to be forgotten by them. Just a year ago this morning, the 137th Infantry made its initial advance in the Meuse-Argonne offensive.
How clear it is in the minds of all who experienced it! The sting of the pungent high explosive powder in their muscles as shells burst constantly around them; the dampness of the shells and the force they held the night before; the clatter of the repeated gas alarms that kept everyone in a state of aggration and uncertainty; the dismal scream of Boche shells that came one after the other, in measured succession at times, at other times; the memories doubled flare up in the minds of the boys this morning.
M Company had been for three days in a series of trenches just in front of the artillery and on the crest of a long ridge. The hill was wooded and there were no out of the trees quite regularly. Some of the Bochie iron had gotten lower than and Charles Haines, an old freshman football man of 1016, had been severely wounded. The team one man and also wounded another.
The company put in the entire night moving from their station to the trench of departure. Then at 5:30—while it was yet dark, they crawled out of the muddy trench, and started for the Heinies!
The rest of the story is known—how at the end of five miserable days M Company was relieved and only 16 of the original 237 answered rollcall.

Students are not reporting as they should to take the typhoid vaccine inoculation, said Dr E. Smith of the University hospital today. Only 20 women reported Thursday. Many of the men were inoculated in the army consequently they are exempt now, but all women are urged to report.

Plain Tales From The Hill
Stude to downtown merchant: "How much for apples?"
Merchant: "Eight cents each." Stude: "Gee, I can't pay that much without knowing the quality of the goods. Do you plug 'em?"
Professor Ice—"In this course we will first study economic man. Of course, there is no such thing as economic woman."
"I's a wonderful and fearfully organized universe," a sophomore was heard to say. "I am in three different places where the professor has worked on the question of his particular science was the one that comes from which all others were deduced."
Freshman woman—"I don't believe the instructor liked my French recitation today. When I finished he said, 'Bone Demoiselle!'"
The University will soon have to have another appropriation to widen the sidewalks on the Hill or else the Senate will have to adopt traffic rules. Just walk along the sidewalk in front of the Chemistry Building when the students gather and you will be surprised to some unhunting fusser stop a woman right in the middle of the sidewalk and talk to her the entire ten minutes between classes and all the rest of the science walks around them. Wider sidewalks are needed, and side tracks to accommodate those who must visit between classes.
ENGINEERS TO REPAIR PART OF BLEACHERS
Annual Holiday Will Be Used
For Improvements On
McCook Field
The seven hundred members of the School of Engineering met this morning and voted unanimously to have an Engineer's day this fall, at which the entire body of their school, under the direction of the School of Engineering faculty would inspect and repair the bleachers on McCook Field.
The action followed a short talk by "Phoq" Allen, and the department of athletics announcement if such action could be taken, that the Athletic Association would supply refreshments. The meeting, which was marked by fine spirit of co-operation of the large number of athletes in the athletic Association, was a complete success, and a demonstration of the reported return of K. U. "pen."
The department of athletics announced that for the present, only the south section of bleachers would be used, the north ones being closed until the Engineers took charge of the situation for complete renovation.
This action will take a large burden from the Athletic Association treasury, according to Director of Athletics Allen. The association, while at present in very good shape and better than the other valley schools, would not bear the strain of repair of bleachers without going into debt.

UNIVERSITY A.E.F. MEN FORM ORGANIZATION
Veterans Celebrate Meuse-Ar-
gonne Drive With Rally
At Myers Hall
Students Feel Pep Spirit
Former Soldiers Determined To Help Jayhawker Team Win Every Objective
The hundred men who started the rally met in Myers Hall to celebrate the anniversary of the Mouse-Argnor drive, and to "make K, U, a better school by bringing out the latent pen." POP PAN TUMMY
A rally Thursday night started by a hundred veterans of the A. E. F, who were soon joined by four hundred other K. U. students, proved that there is still more peep left in K. U., than most people supposed.
At its meeting Prof. W. W. Davis, paid high tribute to the men of the Middle West, who saw action in the Argonne forest. Professor Davis was in the ambulance section that accompanied the 80th Division into action. He also saw service with other divisions.
"I didn't want to come here to talk tonight," said Professor Davis. "You are the chaps who should do the talking. You boys did the work. You know more about it than anyone else. You had the big and the fine part. I didn't do anything or see anything compared to your experiences."
THAT INFERNAL CHEERFULNESS In referring to the boys of the 89th Professor Davis said he was greatly impressed by the "infernal" cheerfulness under that warring imagination; by the irrepressible individuality which the army failed to stamp out; by the initiative, resourcefulness and pugnacity that the men showed and above all by the wonderful spirit of magnigy, of the fair treatment that the conquering army moved towards the defeated enemy.
"A year ago today, the men thought that this country was worth dying for. It been worth dying for in the past, and it has been worth dying for in the future. And it is especially up to you to be the bulwarks of law and order during the next few years in which the country may suffer from a period of unrest and adjustment."
R. O. T. C. MAN UP
Dr. W. P. Haynes, another professor, who saw action as a lieutenant in the air service, gave a short talk offering the use of his large collection materials for the future evenings of entrainment that the organization will give.
Captain J. D. Brown of the R.O.T.
C, gave the "pep talk" of the evening emphatically saying, "You've had the school." Let's get it back in the school, get them to take others with you. We've got the material for a good team this year but there are a lot of deadheads in school who leave the work to the others. Go have the news about that peep. You've got the new development you've got a big year before you."
Following the speeches, the members elected officers: William Studer, president; Ernst Uhrliab, secretary; Richard Wagstaff, treasurer.
When the meeting adjourned the old service men invaded the student district and started the first rally of the season. It was marked by the fact that no property was destroyed and that when the business district was invaded the leaders kept the crowd well in hand.
This afternoon the members of the A. E. F, organization are out on the field cheering the work of the comig champions of Missouri Valley.
Appoints Stem Foster As New Assistant Coach
Lewen "Stum" Foster, captain-elect of this year's football team, ineligible because of having received a degree in medicine, was appointed assistant football coach by Chancellor Strong today. Foster's appointment has been pending, but difficulty was experienced in arranging his work as an assistant instructor, so that he be on the field in the afternoon. Foster will have to attend K. U. football, holding the quarter position in 16, '17, and '18. His punting and broken field running won him distinguished mention.
