UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 28, 1918.
NUMBER 29.
EAT 'EM UP, KANSAS
Basketeers Begin Work With Many Candidates But Few Old Players
Five
Bunn and Matthews Back As
Nucleus of This Year's
Kansas H. Send Good Men
Dotson and Gardner, Tournament Stars, Out For Varsity
Basketball practice has started at the University and a large number of men are out for the squad. Clothes will not be issued them until the squad has been picked, according to acting Coach Matthews because of the large number of men who will turn out for this year's five. W. O. Hamilton, manager of K. U. athletics, is back and will be here for the remainder of the year.
The Missouri Valley schedule will be made out in Kansas City at a conference of the Valley coaches the first Friday in December and the Kansas schedule will be announced immediately afterwards. Kansas expects to play the Aggies, Tigers, Huskers, Washington and probably Ames. No reports as to the strength of teams in other conference schools have been received, but Kansas with Bunn at forward and Matthews at center will stand well in the conference as few of the old men returned to school this year and all colleges will depend on new men for their teams. New men find it hard to pick up the college style of play and the Valley team may be handicapped in the early games this year because of the number of freshmen who will appear in Valley basketball.
Dotson, who made the all-state high school five last spring and played a stellar game all season with the strong Newton team, is out for practice and will probably play on the Jayhawker five this season if freshmen are used here. Gardner of Arkansas City is another good player in this league and played some good shooting and floor work in tournaments. Slonaker will also be out for the team. He will try for a position at center.
No Post-season Games for Jayhawker Eleven
"Kansas will play no post season football this year. The athletic association is in the hole at present and inclement weather would only add to the deficit if another game were scheduled. Kansas lost money on the Husker game because of bad weather and December weather cannot be banked upon."
Jared Jackson, F18,
Killed on French Front
W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics, put a quietus to talk of post season intercollegiate football with the foregoing diarrhea. Kansas scheduled today's game for December 7, but moved the game up when the Tigers cancelled. The University will see some games between army and navy units after the formal close of the Valley season.
Lieut Janed Jackson, son of Judge W. A. Jackson of Atchison, was killed in action in France November 6. This notification was received by his parents in Atchison. Lieutenant Jackson was attending law school at the class of 1918, when he enlisted for the University and was a member of the first officers' training camp at Camp Funston, where he won his commission. He was with the 353 regiment of the 89th Division, which now made heavy fighting in Allied forces during the last war. Besides his brother, Edward Jackson, who is now in the officers' training school at Camp Grant. Lieutenant Jackson was to have been married upon his return from the war to Miss Bessie Davis of Atchison.
The Red Cross is Mobile.
Six Cross-country Men Practice to Enter Meet
Six men are out for the Kansas cross-country team and are running every night. Rodkey and Dewall, two men on last year's track team, are the old men out and are getting into condition. Deering, Fitzjerald, Brown, and Hunt are making a bid for the team. There will be a cross country meet on the streets of Kansas City, January 1, 1919, and the Kansas team may be sent if they show up well in their practice this month. The meet is held by the American Athletic Union.
Aggregate Scores Are:
Kansas, 276; Aggies. 36
University Defeated But Once By Manhattan in Past Fifteen Years
The Jayhawkers and Aggies have played 15 football games since 1902, and Kansas has returned victor in 13 of the contests. The Aggies won 6 to 4 in 1906, and Kansas tied with the Aggies in 1916 here. The Kansans have made 276 points to the Aggies 36 in these games.

Influenza is Checked in Lawrence and on Hill
The influenza situation in Lawrence is far from being serious, said health authorities of both the city and the state. The number is absolutely no occasion for alarm.
There is only one case of pneumonia in the S. A. T. C. infirmary. Two men are seriously ill with influenza, while fifteen are convulsing. There are three cases in the University hospital, all of these cases will be released today.
Dr. A, W. Clark, city health officer, said today that one new case of influenza was reported yesterday on Saturday morning, none of which is serious.
D.C. Cobbles
For the first time in the history of Missouri Valley football C, E. McBride, sport editor of the Kansas City Star, will pick his all-Valley eleven from players in the Kansas and Missouri conferences as well as in the Valley, because of the small number of valley games this season. The Star's all-star teams are taken as official each year. The Star sport editor will go back to the old precedent in following years.

WillTake Two Weeks To Clear Out Student Army--Captain B. T. Scher
Get Real K. U. Spirit Before You Go
Before You Go—Ham
The latest pop generating really was pulled off in the gymnasium Wednesday night in a tremendous outburst of college spirit, songs and yelling, accompanied by a double outburst of journalism and near journalism in the form of two rally papers. The Pewee Kansan, an anonymous publication that appears occasionally on the Hill, was distributed by women students and contained the customary keen, clean wit and youthful humor that we masked it generally. The other rally paper that was called The Hoot Owl. It, too, was anonymous and was somewhat like the old Sour Owl in its denatural days, only it had none of the cleverness of the Sour Owl. The only clever touch to the publication was that the men who sold it charged ten cents a copy for it. The Hoot Owl was printed n deep yellow paper and was said to have been published in Kansas City.
Adjutants Will Get Special Instructions for Demobilization
The Red Cross is Democratic.
"Some of you fellows are planning to leave school as soon as you can get loose," said W. O. Hamilton, athletic director, in one of the short talks at the rally. "Don't leave until you get a touch of the real K. U. spirit and of K. U. life. School isn't anything like it was last year, and you new men do not realize what you will miss if you go now."
Must Take Physical Exams
Men Not to Stay in School to be Released First, The Orders
"The Student Army Training Corps will probably be cleared out of the University of Kansas in about two weeks," said Capt. Bruno T. Scher, commandant, this morning. "The men have checked in all their rifles, and all drills and military work has stopped. The only thing military that remains is that the men will have to live in the barns but they receive their discharges from the army or the navy. Until this time they will have to wear their uniforms and will be under the same military discipline."
Lieut. Thomas Maddon, adjunct,
and Lieut. Ralph E. Cartier, personnel
adjunct, will leave tomorrow for
Kansas City, where they will be used
for a summer internship in training corps and in fixing the discharges for the men in such units.
The actual work of demobilization will begin Monday morning, December 2, according to a telegram received yesterday from the War Department, Section B, the vocational section of the Student Army Training
Aggies and Jayhawkers Clash In Sixteenth Annual Game Today
(Continued on page 3)
Coach Clevenger and Aggies Arrive To Turn Jayhawker Back If Possible—Hamilton Says Kansas Team Is Ready for Game
No ARMISTIC YET WITH THE AGCIES
THE WAR IS OVER, BUT—
Dope Points to Hard Fought Match Between Old Rivals
Stem Foster to Play Last Game With Kansans Today. Old Player Has Been at Helm For
Three Years
The two teams are ready for the big game. The Aggies and Coach Z. G. Clevenger are here to turn the Jayhawkers back on McCook Field this afternoon in the final game on the Kansas schedule and the last big game of the season for the Missouri Valley.
Both coaches are confident of victory as the dope points toward a hard fought contest.
Plain Tales From the Hill
"Huh," growled the rookie in the ranks, "do they let him stay in the file closers? Why, he couldn't close a pocket knife."
Subject for murder-The member of the Senate who sweetly asks the student if she is going home for Thanksgiving vacation.
When son gets discharged and sets his feet under the old family table, he apt not to get the full meal he will want because mother and father won't understand the S.A.T.C. language.
"Shoot the grease!" The tone of that command ought to bring results if only the folks knew that he had forgotten "Please pass the butter." "Say, you know me, let me have two pieces of bread this time. I'll eat them as well," he said. He would make. And one can be certain he would ask for "seconds on spuds" or other food, with the remark "the mess is half-way decent."
The pavement of Mississippi Street is outside the University campus and therefore rockies congregate on it and smoke. Some of the men, evidently tiring of policing other person's snipers have put kegs on the hillside parking area 6 and 7, with signs, "Put cigarettes and matches in this barrel."
As a reaction from S. A. T. C, custom when the ex-student-soldier fails to comprehend a question or statement, instead of saying "Sir?" he will drop back into plain "Huh!"
"I told you not to be surprised at anything," said a member of Company F last night when he saw the French fried potatoes that were being served. "When we had lemon pie and salad for Sunday dinner after having sugar for breakfast food on the table, and bacon and eggs and toast for breakfast, I decided we could expect anything."
Three men were tossed in blankets at the Baker game last Saturday for bringing dates. It has been suggested that the time between halves be extended at the Thanksgiving game so that there will be enough time to handle all the dates planning to go.
Jose V. Cajacu, a student at the University from Manila, who has been dangerously ill at the Student Health Department improving and will soon be discharged.
Announcements
The young people of the Christia Church will hold open house in th night.
A Thanksgiving party will be given in the church parliars of the Baptist Church Thursday night at 7:30 o'clock. University men and women are especially invited.
The annual reception and ladies' night of the University Club which was scheduled for Thankgiving evening has been postponed. Announcement of the new date will be made in the Kansan later.
The Kansas team went through its final practice last night. The men are in good condition with the exception of Mott, Hochuli and Simons. These men are expected to get into the game, but injuries have kept them out of the hard practices this week and none of the trio is in the best of condition because of lack of practice. The Kansans have gone through a hard season and have played with a green team. The boys have fought their way through the Aggies several times when the odds were against Kansas. The coaches have announced their line-ups and the Jayhawkers are eagerly waiting for the whistle to blow for the start this afternoon.
Stem Foster, Kansas quarter, is a senior and will play his last game with the Kansans today. "Stem has played football and been at the helm of the Kansas eleven for three years. He has played splendid ball all three seasons and is good at returning punts, and carrying the ball. His head has saved many a K. U. game. Foster made the all valley team last year and should be placed on the mythical eleventh this year.
The Kansas team put up a better fight in the Nebraska game than at any other time this season. "I predict that we will see a good game on McCook this afternoon and the Kansas boys will win if they put up the fight they displayed against the Huskers at Lincoln. The men will have the support of the entire student body, as arrangements have been made whereby the men may go to the game and pay for their tickets when they get their next pay," said Lieutenant Cramer this morning.
The Nebraaska field was a sea otom mud and the Kansas have had some experience in the mud, so the field is not all over. So the sharkwriters creatively it is a little heavy.
Mr. McKeever Will Help Boy Scouts Reorganize
The Journal-World of Tuesday contained the following news item:
Mr. W. A. McKeever, professor of child welfare at the University will leave soon for New York City where he will have a conference with the National Boy Scout organization to make new plans for its re-organization. Mr. McKeever has for some time been interested in the Boy Scout work and has been in correspondence with the national headquarters.
He has advanced several good plans for putting the Boy Scouts of America on a new footing and the national organization has invited him for a conference. "The great need for the Boy Scouts now is a sufficient number of capable leaders," Professor Kramer said. He is to have the technical details of work somewhat eliminate so that the scout leaders would not have to spend so much time making out useless "red tape" reports.
Get into Game on Next Pav

This can be arranged by the company commanders.
