Sports Writer Suggests Post Season Army Game
Kansas and Missouri Must Have Some Means of Meeting Expenses
The denial of a story coming out of the East saying that the annual Kansas-Missouri game will be played in Kansas City Thanksgiving Day as a war fund benefit makes it look as though someone in the East jumped at a conclusion without knowledge of the situation, says C. E. McBride in the Kansas City Star.
The Kansas-Missouri game will be played at Lawrence, unless a suspension of the rule prohibiting games away from the college gridirons is obtained. The university authorities might possibly agree to give half the proceeds to the war funds. In fact that seems to be the plan suggested by W. O. Hamilton, athletic manager at K. U.
A more practical plan for the raising of money for the war funds through use of the University of Kansas and Missouri eleven would be the arranging of post season games with each university meeting an army eleven. For instance, when Missouri and Kansas have completed their schedule let the Jayhawkers and the Funston eleven play here a Saturday and the Tigers and the Funston team the following Saturday.
The truth of the situation is that the Kansas-Missouri game this year is the main hope of Kansas and almost the only hope of Missouri to raise enough money to make a showing in athletics during the present year. To give the receipts of the games in the past, it would mean the practical suspension of athletics at the two universities for the remainder of the year.
The Valley Conference would be quick to suspend its college gridiron rule for these war benefit games. No doubt each university would be glad to keep its team in training and play the game. Kansas City football followers would have another chance to see the Tigers and the Jayhawkers in action, and with the Kansas City Athletic Club promoting the games as the Army-Navy game was promoted last fall, thousands of dollars could be turned over to the war fund.
Such a plan would obtain more money for the war fund than the Kansas-Missouri game would return and in addition it would work a hardship on neither school—Evening Missouri.
Soldiers In Construction
Work Now, Says Talbot
The period immediately following the war will be one of improvement and reconstruction in the United states as well as in Europe according to Homer Talbot, secretary of the Kansas League of Municipalities. The records show that many towns are holding off on paving and sewerage construction because of the shortage of material and cost of the war.
This new construction will give the sailors and soldiers, who return, considerable work.

Miss Rachel Pugh, c'02, has been accepted for overseas service in the Y. M. C. A, and has resigned the Red Cross work she has been engaged at Independence. The Independence Reporter contains the following:
"Judge Flannelly on behalf of the committee presented Miss Pugh with a wrist watch which she said would be the minister of her friends in this work."
"The Y. M. C. A. is replacing most of its men in France with women in order that the men may get into the fighting. Miss Rachel Pugh of this city has been selected to go overseas and will soon sail. She has already resigned as director of women's recreation at UCF. Friday afternoon in the regular meeting of the executive committee the following resolutions were adotted:

"Inasumch as Miss Rachel Pugh was be accepted for overseas service in the C.C."
"Therefore, he it resolved, That it is the sense of this executive committee of the Montgomery County Chapter of the A. R.

Well, HARDLY!
Yes, You Wanted to Go to France
Even the comparatively easy army life you have experienced is not one long sweet song, is it? Haven't you felt a little lonesome once in a while? A little restless? A little as though nobody cared much about you? Haven't you wished you had some place to go? Some attractive diversion?
You felt that the Hun ought to get what was coming to him and you were ready to help deliver the goods at his front door. You were ready to fight, shoulder to shoulder, with the boys already there.
Now that the fighting is over you can't go to join them. Does that mean that you are not to give them any help? They are not through with the big job yet. Many months of hard service are before them. Are you going to let them shift for themselves?
Well, stop a minute and think of the Kansas boy the K. U. boy—in an army camp in France. Considerably farther from home than you are, isn't he? With much less to relieve the monotony. Bearing greater
Help give him a book, a magazine, a Salvation Army pie, a bunch of Y. M., K.of C., or J.W. stationery as a reminder to write home, and a place where can have a few minutes to himself.
hardships. Oppressed by a much keener nervous letdown as the exciting prospect of military movement gives place to the dull monotony of waiting month after month until he can get home. Will YOU do something for HIM?
If you have a chance to give five dollars for his comfort and welfare, will you give ten or fifteen?
YOU BET YOU WILL!
There are seven organizations which the Government admits to army camps in France to do just the things you would like to do personally for your comrades there. The best way you can do something is through these organizations. They come to you this week for your aid. Don't shut your heart to the Other Fellow. Open it. Open your pocket!—University United War Work Campaign Committee.
