Football Coach's Job In Wartime Endangers Job's Record,Says Ham
Problems Ranging From Shoes to Dates for Games Have Puzzled 'Em
But Smiles Won't Wipe Off
Admit Job Deserves Some Credit
But He Never Tackled
War Football
If a belated Kansas cyclone should sweep away the stands on McCook Field this afternoon or the Agripe special should be wrecked, or the Varsity men and the whole squad should all be put on K. P. for sixty days, two minutes before the kick off today, the least worried persons in town would be Jay Bond and W. O. Hamilton. They would scrape up another team from somewhere in about ninety-two seconds. Manager Hamilton and Coach Bond have nursed a sick football season through the stringencies of war, through a "fur" epidemic and through post-war activities and their efforts have at last culminated in matching a big growth although it's a substitute for tankings. If any or all of the above mentioned calamities should befall, neither "Jay" nor "Ham" would "wipe off that smile," but would begin hunting for a big post-season game at once. Job had nothing on Manager Hamilton and Coach Bond.
The heads of athletics at K. U. have been through too many disappointments this year to be stopped by anything, big or little, this late in the season. William Omar has done everything this season to promote athletics and football from spending a fruitless day in Kansas City trying to find a pair of shoes big enough for you. The next department that the Hun couldn't really be licked properly if the S. A. T. C. didn't have football.
NO FOOTBALL AT START '
At the first of the year things looked much as though there wouldn't be any football this season, for every energy was to be devoted toward getting the men into trim for officers. Followed special dispensions by the War Department, lengthy conferences here between athletic representatives and officers, and finally the granting of permission for the game to continue, with restrictions as to leaves to go on trips, time for practice, and other points to be worked out later.
Practice began then, but details,
fatigue duty, kitchen police and other
light diversions kept the players from making their appearance with the usual regularity at McCook Field.
The entire freshman squad weighed 140 pounds one night and consisted of a single candidate, who didn't take the trouble to get into football tots.
OKLAHOMA LIKE A LANDMINE
Then came the "flu" and it with went glimmering hopes for a game. The Emporia Normals had threatened to cancel because of a weak squad and had promised to play only on a threat from the local management to break athletic relation if the game was not played. Blank dates which were to have been filled by Washburn, Ames and a desultory fashion continued for the five weeks of isolation, and then came a real game, with Oklahoma. The score was—well, it was a landslide, all in favor of Oklahoma. Only the pip instilled into the rooters by Lieut. Frank Cramer, Jr. made the Jayhawks' showing at Nebraska anything of which to boast. Passes from the post granted to all attending the game gave the team more than two hundred supporters at Lincoln, and helped them make a good showing on a muddy field.
Then came the cry of "On to “Missouri,” to be silenced with a gurgle by the Missouri influenza situation, which made a game impossible. A hurry-call brought the Baker team here Saturday and resulted in a brightening of the gloomy outlook for Kansas, for the first victory and the first touchdown were results of the 20 to 6 score.
JOB MIGHT HAVE LOST "REP."
The Aggies were engaged for the Thanksgiving bout on McCook Field to take the place of the annual Tiger game. Athletic Director Hamilton and Coach Bond have laid plans to begin training for the game, but if anything should happen, they would do their utmost to "save the pieces" and try it again. Post-season games between the Army and Navy with the Omaha Balloon School as well as with other elevenes are being discussed, but no arrangements have been completed as yet.
"Job" bore up bravely," remarked Mr. Hamilton this morning as he talked to fifteen persons on sixteen subjects. "Job bore up bravely because he vaunt'd afflicted with football and basketball, but he been so afflicted—well Coach Bond and I don't like to brag, but Job's record might have been in danger."
There will be a Varsity dance at F. A. U. Hall Thursday under the auspices of the W. S. G. A.

The men in the naval section are not allowed to place their clothing on the rafters in Barracks 4 nor on the cross beams according to recent orders. The men have to scrub out their uniforms, and their bunk is supposed to be clean enough for clothes according to Birn, Adams, top sergeant.
The navy football men are out every night and are getting into condition so they can make a good showing when some army company accepts their open challenge for a football game after the close of the present valley season.
Vic Rogers has been working out with Gross, the welter weight boxer of the navy, daily, and Gross is in good trim.
All of the men out for the cross country team are from the naval section and they are willing to take on any team when they get in better condition.
Florence Arends, c'21, will spend Thanksgiving at her home in Kansas City.
MissMarie Erhardt of Kansas City, Mo., will be the guests of Mrs. O'Keefe of the French department.
New Debating Society Elects
The second meeting of the new debating society was held Tuesday night in Little Theater in Green Hall. Organization was completed, and officers elected were Lewis Severson, president; Lucile Hovey, secretary. Enthusiasm abounded at the meeting, especially when a general discussion occurred followed by commissary military training in colleges. Three debates are scheduled for the ensuing meetings. The society has twenty-two members and only a few more will be admitted.
