Five Hundred Soldiers Will Sing For Visitors At Song Convention
Directors of Singing in Army Camps Will Come Here for Instructions
Five hundred S. A. T. C. men will sing for the song leaders from other camps who will arrive here Monday to take special instructions in community singing. The stimulating of singing in the various units of the S. A. T. C., by the Commission On Training Camp Activities, is a development of the work this commission has been carrying on more than a year in the regular army and navy stations. The metts to be held at Lawrence, Monday and Tuesday with representatives from Washington present. The meetings to be held at Lawrence, esting to the citizens of Lawrence on Monday night. This meeting will be open to the townpeople and they will have an opportunity to become acquainted with the practical side of the work being done, musically, in the war development now going on.
Capt. B, T. Scher, commanding, has shown a keen interest in having his men sing. His experience in army life, in actual warfare, has given him a deep appreciation of the value of music to the men living in the intense strain of combat, battling for the cause "Over There." It is through his enthusiasm that the program arranged for the coming delegates, will have in part the massed singing of the soldier boys on the Hill.
Dr. William L. Burdick, vice-chancellor, will make an address on the S. A. T. C. work as it is carried on in the University.
Prof. Peter Dykema, on leave from the University of Wisconsin, in general charge of the S. A. T. C. song leaders, will speak, as will also E. Rowland Dawson, supervisor of the song leaders of the Middle West.
J. C. McGanies will be on hand with his well drilled band. Chester Guthirie, in charge of singing at Camp Funston, is to be here to participate in the demonstrations.
S.A.T.C. Men Receive Boxing Instruction
Students To Be Taught Art of Dodging Mitts of Opponents
The men in the S. A. T. C. will be instructed in boxing and wrestling when they recover from their "shots" in the arm. The gym will be open for such contests, as soon as Section B moves into barracks. The men have been staging their contests on the ground but will be able to use the mats in the gym in a few days. Several bouts were put on under the anspices of the Y. M. C. A. last year and proved very popular.
Track and field meets between the companies will be arranged between the companies. Basket ball practice will start soon and the companies are talking of trying to organize a league or hold a tournament to decide the
camp championship. Many good high school athletes have come to the University this year because of the S. A. T. C. and the standard of such contests will be of a high quality. The men will work under the University coaches.
The boxing contests now are most entirely lacking in skill. As exhibitions of slugging and ability to give and take they may be very good, but other than for ability to swap licks they are very poor.
Olcott in Double Role
Of Scout and Linesman
Former K. U. Coach Directs Football Playing at the Great Lakes Station
Being an "enemy" football scout and head linesman at the same game was the unique experience of Coach Herrman ("Beau") Olcott of the Great Lakes Training Station, formerly coach here, according to a letter received Wednesday by Mrs. Olcott. Coach Olcott went to Annapolis last Saturday to look over the Middies' style of game in preparation for the combat between the Great Lakes and Annapolis teams, November 23. Mr. Olcott formerly was coach at the Naval Academy.
Lieut. C. J. McReasey has been given the position of head coach at the Lakes, but Olcott still has active charge of the work. Because of the custom of the navy of having only commissioned officers in charge of athletics, Lieutenant McReasey has been put at the head of the work, but as McReasey received his football training under Olcott at Annapolis and the two have practically the same ideas of tactics it is not believed that the navy red tap will interfere with the work of the former K. U. coach.
Coach Olcott should have a good team at the Lakes this year if his showing at the University is any indication of his merit as a coach. Cooperating with Lieutenant McReavay, "Beau" should be able to whip his assortment of gob stars into a football team par excellence.
Mrs. Olcott will leave Lawrence Saturday to join Coach Olcott at the Great Lakes. The suspending of school because of the epidemic has closed Mrs. Olcott's classes in voice. While she was not a member of the faculty Mrs. Olcott's singing and her reputation as a concert singer attracted many University students to her for extra lessons. During the epidemic Mrs. Olcott sang at a number of concerts for S. A. C. M. men.
The military authorities at Yale have placed a ban on football for this season. The academic and military work will take up all of the time. The eastern colleges and universities played only informal games last season.

It is a matter of joyful record that the University has gone above every quota set for it, whether in the campaign for the Friendship Fund, the Red Cross, or Liberty Loans.
That record sets the pace for the United War Work Campaign next week.
The amount may seem large, but it is not as large as the loyalty of University men and women towards every
war activity. They look upon any self denial they practice in financing a generous impulse as an almost direct participation in the struggle at the front where the boys they knew in the classroom less than a year ago are making great sacrifices and great history.
Now that it looks as though the war is a matter of days, the University has a special interest in keeping up to its standard—in seeing that this next drive affords another reason to be proud of its record.
