More Men Are Needed For Backtield Positions In K.U. Football Squad
Only Seven Candidates For Backs in Thursday's Practice
Many Letter Men Are Out
Coach McCarty Gives Men First "Chalk Talk" After Stiff Workout
The K. U. football squad needs more backs. That was the conclusion reached after watching the squag go through their regular light practice Thursday afternoon. Only six or eight players were in line, and backfield material have showed up in uniform so far, with one more, John Bunn, promised this out afternoon.
Simon and Heizer, fullbacks, Pringle and Mandeville, halves, and Laper, Webb Wilson, Tad Reid, and Barter, quarterbacks were the backfield men who practiced on Hamilton Field Thursday. About sixteen line men, enough to insure strong competition for every line position, were out.
The scarcity of men ambitions for a football letter by K. U. sport fans is ascribed to the fact that the old letter men seem to have all the positions circled, and that apparently a young man's chance to make good, at least this year.
But the team, perhaps on account of the soggy weather, and perhaps on account of the earliness of the season, are well equipped. The men are needed, and new men stand a chance to make the team. Perhaps thirty-five men have checked out uniforms, and showed up on the field throughout the week. Most of them have been held three weeks is reported to have sixty men out.
CHANCE FOR NEW MEN
After a stiff practice of an hour and a half during the drizzle of Thursday afternoon, Coach McCarty sent the players in field, and then to the showers. Later Coach Lindsay gave the men the first chalk talk of the season. Blackboard diagrams of various plays, with seven of the simpler signals, were explained.
FORMER STARS COME OUT
Nettles, il-Valley tackle in 1917
Barter, freshman quarter in 1917, and
'O'Brien, a new man whom Coach Carly may use in the backfield, were the new men out. Reid, who starred on a wing position in 1916, was used to hold the end positions against any in the valley.
Walter Wood, star quarter of 1915 was on the field, but an ulcerated foot will make it impossible for him to攀向 in football tops for several weeks. Coach CmCarty ran a队 team the field in practice formations. The most promising formation consisted of Heizer, full, Mandeville and Pringle, halves Lupher, quarters, Laslett and Lonborg, ends, Nettles and Marxen, tackles, Wint Smith and Pete Reedy, guards and Ketchum Gress at center.

work.
Harry Little of Abilene, who played an all-Kansas game with Emporia College in 1916 and 1917 will be out for freshman practice probably this afternoon. Little was given an all-Kansas quarter position and is content to play the most important role in the Kansas conference. Sandifer, Oklahoma Normal college star, who made an enviable all-victorious record with a southern training camp team, is also out for freshman honors. Sturgeon, of Pittsburgh Normal, and Wheeler, Fairmount man are among the three top scorers Coach Schlaideman expects to get results.

Message of Optimism
(Continued from page 1)
"If you'll let me go back to school," he said to his fathore, "I'll promise you you will have no more trouble from me."
He entered high school and was graduated with the highest honors ever given in the school. Then he went to Yale to study law. His father died in Young Strong's sophomore year and he was compelled to make his own way. He again struck a scholarship stride as a student and maintain- ed his academic school at his home after graduating, and then at New York requirements of a year in a law office before he could be allowed to practice.
NO PATIENCE WITH QUITTERS
"I have no patience with the man or woman who says he can't do a thing," Doctor Strong said. "Any man or
woman who wants an education a anything else bad enough can get it if he is willing to make the sacrifice, the death of our two older children, who were in school. we left Lincoln, Neb., where I was superintendent of schools, and with a 3-weeks-old baby went back to Yale, where I could study and recuperate. The first year we lived on $2$ a month; the second year the three of us lived in the third year on $4$ a month and the fourth year on $45$ a month.
A RECORD IN MAN—AGING
"At the end of that, four years."
A RECORD in the book
At the end of that four years we came to New York where 100,000 in bank. I work in Bank. I studied. For four years I graded every paper in Greek history in Yale, I sang in choreas, and concerted, wrote for New York and Boston papers and did other work to earn a few dollars. Oh, don't miss to do a thing, you boys and girls, for your family, you have courage to work and sacrifice.
"The University and the world are better than they ever were. Oh, there's a tendency always to talk of the good old times, but they weren't as good as they are now. The boys today are just as good as their fathers were. the girls are just as pure and sweet is their mothers, even if they do wear
their dresses shorter at both ends. The boys and girls of today dress better and have more money to spend in school. Sometimes the boy of today may run a good deal with his muffler open but generally you will find that at age 10 or older, the engine is working properly, for the world grows better and better.
AN AUTOMOBILE SCAM
"I remember the near-panic that I experienced when my automobile came on our campus here. I wrote a piece about it that was copied in many newspapers. There was a fear that it would cause social disorder and a mental breakdown. I met a meeting in the East the man who is now President of the United States
called me aside and asked about that automobile. There was the same condition at Princeton, where they feared the mobile would disrupt the social order."
