GRIDIRON PROSPECTS BRIGHT AS A DOLLAR
Two Squads are Put Through Elementary Formations By Coach McCarty
Line Is Showing Up Strong
Efforts Centered on Building Up Stronger Jayhawker Back Field
The first hard practice of the season Friday afternoon brought K. U.'s hopes to the surface, bright as a new dollar. The thirty-five out were the best. The three years, and the practice, for the first week, was promising.
A large crowd of K. U. sport adherents interested watched Conaches McCarty and Lindsey run two eleven from the squad through some elementary formations. Conach McCarty then took the tackle, guard, and center candidates, about twenty in number, and gave them the first twitching practice they had seen up well, and went at the stuffed elk of a Tiger player with such vigor that after about fifteen minutes, the rope supporting the dummy broke.
"A MILLION-DOLLAR LINE"
The men are coming out early in the morning, a good hour and a half. The line looks like a million dollars, and the shortage at the back positions were helped some by trying Saunders and "Tad" Reid at half, and acquisition of "Jimmy Knowles, and C. B. Randall. Randall is a Lawrence man on the opposite side of the campus. The University High School teams of '13 and '14, and also on all-Kansas high school teams.
"Bibe" Cohn, another Lawrence man, was out Friday. He was placed at end by pat McCarty, and looked good. "Pat" Rube, brother of Mirl Ruble, half on K. U. teams for the last two years, was out for a guard position, his size alone insuring him as much as possible, the other men out for line positions, and Rinehart is trying to show enough speed to get one of the positions.
MUCH MATERIAL NEEDS
Gress was used at center most of the afternoon, and Hart at guard and kneel. Bunn, Reid, Bartier, Woody were also used at guard and Church, Marxen, and Nettles all got their turn at tackle. Mandville Bunn, Pringle, Reid, Bartier, and Saunders were the candidates for the half position. Heizer is being used con- trolly. Daly and Davy Luper were the quarters.
Kabler and Wood are expected out in a couple of weeks for practice, and Milward Iol is now trying to arrange his affairs so that he can return to school. These three men, with "Red" Desmond, guard, who checked out a suit Friday, will strengthen the squad.
Saturday morning saw another hours' hard practice by the Varsity squad on Hamilton Field. About the same number came out that were out Friday, and looked good in practice. The first game was against practice and in the afternoon attended the Haskell-Funston game on Haskell Field.
Students at K. U. Spend $30,000 in Books Yearly
Included in the high cost of learning this year is a slight advance in the cost of text books. This advance, however, has not been as extensive as price advances on other commodities.
It is found that the rise in prices has centered itself to an extent upon the books used in the School of Engineering and the School of Medicine. These schools provide a technical nature and contain a large number of pages, to which the unusual advance may be attributed. Ceramic retail as high as 99 $pices.
According to a local dealer, the book shortage is not nearly as serious as it was last year, when war influences caused a shortage of labor. This year the shortage is confined largely to the books most extensively used.
The advance in price is usually from 5 to 10 per cent over the former prices, and some boks that formerly $2 now retail at $2.50 or $2.50.
The number of books purchased by University students each semester may be estimated at from 12,000 to 15,000 volumes, the aggregate cost of which, when bought new, is from $80,000 or $40,000.

Frosh Football Squad Calls All-Star Material
Sixty men who would tickle the eye of any coach in the Missouri Valley in average times turned out Friday, the second day of freshman football pre-
Coach Kari Schadman sent them through a hard workout, falling on the ball, running down the field on kicks and other exercises to limber up the muscles.
Prescio Wilson, an all-Oklahoma high school quarter from Enid, was out for a try at the pilot position, and Tristan Spurgeon, Kansas Conference head coach, was an attempt to corral the fullback's job on the nephyte eleven.
TEXT BOOK SHORTAGE
HAMPERS STUDENTS
Dealers Say Demand Cannot Be Met Before End Of Week
Practically all freshmen are laboring under the handicap of an acute text book shortage according to the book dealers. This shortage is a result of an under-estimation of the need on the part of the instructors, the need of materials, and the fact that they can meet the demand in all subjects before the end of the week.
The book shortage is confined almost entirely to freshmen subjects, and large orders by wire amounting to hundreds of books have been placed in the needed subjects. The most needed books include economics French, Spanish and rhetoric. At illustration of the shortage is given that 300 rhetorical books the book stores who says that not more than 300 rhetorical text books are ordered while the actual demand calls for 700 or more.
To meet the demand for books the Women's Student Government Association, as in past years has established its book exchange in Fraser Hall and has been doing a remunerative business. The exchange was established Friday, and it is the plan to receive and sell books every day of the week. In the office. The exchange is under the direct supervisee of Catherine Oder, Doris Drought, and Rilla Hammat, at the W. S. G. A.
Any book that is in use this semester will be received by the exchange and will be sold at the owner's price on the book. Ten per cent of the selling price goes to the exchange. Books in practically all departments are needed at the exchange, and an urgent request is made especially for Bassett's History of the United States, Newcomer's History of England, David's Twelve Centuries of English Literature, Akilen's Nursing, Bloyer's Newspaper Writing and Editing, Flackwater's Elementary Law, Hibbert's Elementary Logic, Bryce's Citizenship, and all freshmen rhetoric texts.
Postoffice Holds Mail Inadequately Addressed
Students mail not bearing street address is being held at the Lawrence postoffice and will not be delivered until such address is supplied, according to a statement today by Postmaster Snellen. An address in Lawrence was not sufficient, the postmaster says. Students who have not already done so are asked to call at the postoffice and leave their street addresses.

Cincinnati, Sept. 22—The first two games of the world series will be played in Cincinnati the next three in Chicago, if the White Sox win the American league flag. The next two will be in Cincinnati, and the eighth in Chicago is necessary to determine the championship, the national baseball commission announced here today.

President Hedler of the National League named Charles Rigler and Earnest Quigley as national league umpires for the series, while President Johnson named Billy Evans and Dick Nallin as the American league umpires.
The Y. M. C. A. Hut which was started during the time of the S. A. T. C, just back of the barracks on Mississippi Street and was left unfinished when the armistice was declared, will be torn down soon, according to Con Hoffman. He said the building had been purchased by out-of-town interests and that they had been notified to tear it down.
Last S. A. T. C. Remnant,
Y. M. Hut, to Go Soon
The concrete foundations, and footings that are lying pulled out of where the barracks were will be further broken up some time this winter and hauled away according to John Shen. Then grass will be sown and soon the last trace of S. A. T. C. barracks will be covered up.

The boarding situation is not much better. Students report that it is very hard to obtain board, especially in the northwest and southwest parts of town. Most of the clubs have a waiting list. One private family is serving six persons at present, $m^2$ another is serving meals in two shifts. Unless the present situation is improved in a few days some of the students will be obliged to leave, said Miss Corbin.
