NUMBER 7
New Athletic Director Grows Optimistic After Conference With Coaches
Must Have Larger Squad
Places on Team Are Not Cincher and Eighty Men Should Be Out Daily
"Kansas is due for a great year in athletics," said Dr. Forrest C "Phog" Allen, newly appointed director of athletics, after a conference with the University coaches shortly after he resumed office today. "The coaches are a fine set and have the ability to put things over. It only requires that you get to get solely behind the team to insure a successful football season."
Doctor Allen arrived in Lawrence Monday afternoon from Warrenburg where he was director of athletics before assuming his present position. He will locate temporarily in Lawrence on expects to move his family here.
The big thing to attend to now, according to Doctor Allen is the size of the football squad. Instead of forty good men who are now out K, U. should have eighty. The student idea seems to be that man who are now out have all the positions circled, so they are not said. Any man who comes out will have a chance to show his ability. There will be no scarcity of coaches, as Doctor Allen is in touch with several old football men now in the University who will assist if necessary, and Doctor Allen himself plans to turn out to practice and help in keeping the men in condition.

Mr. Hoffman who was unable to take a vacation this summer because of having charge of the insecty, corrected this morning a false impression given out in the first issue of the newsletter, Mr. Hoffman. Hoffmann's work in collecting insects.
"This article was written early in the summer," said Mr. Hoffman, "when insects were not so plenitiful as later on. I stated therein that I had collected, mounted and labeled some 6,000 insects, which was true at that time. But as the article did not come out until the end of the summer the figures were incomplete, because many more insects than these were collected."
5000 were collected on several occasions within the space of a week. It is to the interests of the department that this correction be made, as I was employed to make additions to the departmental collection."

TO PLAY OUT OF DOORS
Women Not to Use Gym Until Weather Drives Them From Courts
There can not be much out-door work in gymnasium for women this fall, said Miss Hazel Pratt, head of the department. However, during good weather the regular classes will be taken to South Field where there are four basket ball courts for playing out-door basket ball, which is much different technically from the indoor court. The basketball was destroyed when the S. A. T. C, we have, have not been repaired, so there can be no tennis this fall.
The swimming pool is ready to open as soon as heat can be had. Miss Pratt says she expects swimming to be the most popular class for a while because it is a natural anxious to learn, and preference will be given to beginners now. Most of the time for the next few weeks will be given to swimming and regular gymnastics, later to basketball. Miss Pratt also teaches a dancing classes at 4:30 daily.
Dr. Martha Bacon will have charges of hygiene work giving the lectures and all medical examinations.

Only four of the twelve blast furnaces were operating today.
