Games
Oklahoma Team Has Advantage of Playing Two Games
Kansas will play its first football game of the year with the University of Oklahoma next Saturday on McCook Field. The game with Kansas Aggies which was planned to have been played here today, was called off because school responded to this minor upset. The game was made for last Saturday but had to be cancelled because of the state ban on public gatherings.
The coming game with the Sooners finds the Kansas squad disorganized because of influenza and necessary military duties. Those who are in the companies training for officers training camps, were released for practice this afternoon. This will place Lonberg, all-vailley end of last year, and other promising players, on the practice squad until they are at a training camp. The T. C. candidate's practice today are Simons, Desmond, Adams, Smith and Roy Pringle. Pringle is a cousin of Tom Pringle, halfback of last year now at officers' training camp at Jacksonville, Fla.
About thirty-five varsity squad men have been reporting for practice. The material is good although mostly new, and has not had any games to develop it. On the other hand, the Sooner team which comes here Saturday has played two games this season. Practice has been allowed for the Oklahoma game. The squad will probably scrimmage with Haskell Wednesday, said Coach Bond.
The late start of the season leaves but three scheduled games for Kansas; the Sooner game at Saturday, the Nebraska game at Lincoln, and the Thanksgiving game at Miami. The players being made for post-season games, but if any are held, Coach Bond said this morning, they probably will be with army teams from neighboring camps, rather than with valiant teams. Games of the S.A. T. C. probably will not be played because the influenza epidemic has thrown the season so late. Manager Hamilton has announced that the Oklahoma game will be a war benefit game, the process of those going into the war work fund.
S. A. T. C. authorities have issued a list of the men excused for football at 4 o'clock each afternoon: They are Adams, Banta, Bunn, Boone, Duff, Foster Lonberg, Mott, Harris, Shell, McLeod, Rinchart, Cam Marquis, Moench, Heizer, Merquis, Mason, Harful, Wilson, W Pringle, Russel, Sward, Rimmer, Smith, R. L., F. Wilson, Sterling, Desmond, Tester, Snare.

In one battle in which about fifty airplane took part, he downed one Boehne machine and forced another to leave the fight. Another time, McFadden became lost across the German lines.
He was engaged in five fights, in the last of which he was attacked by five planes. After he shot one down, and put the others to flight, McFadden found his way back to the Allied lines, guided by the light of a fire.

"SUICIDE CLUB" IN SESSION
Passed by the Censor. Copyright 1918.
The British Tommies named machine gunners the "Suicide Squad"—The Yanks still call 'em that, but the suicide is usually that of the Hun who gets fresh with one. These gunneris are working in gas masks and the man in front is feeding the gun at the rote of 500 shots a minute. The American who bought a $50 Liberty Bond keeps this gun in ammunition for two minutes of this kind of firing, time enough to annihilate a formation of advancing Huns.
Workings of S. A. C.T.
Simple But Rookies
All Claim Ignorance
Corps of Officers of Many Branches Serve Under Captain Scher
In spite of the "I don't know, perhaps so-and-so can tell you" that greets many requests by civilians for information concerning the S. A. T. C. and its doings, the organization of the unit is really much simpler than it might seem. The new training detachment which was sent here by the draft board has been moved to the S. A. T. C. and the collegiate section is Section A. The naval section forms Company D. of Section A.
Who's Who In K. U. Army
Vocational Men Sent Here By Draft Boards Compose Section B
Capt. B, T. Scher is in command of the entire unit and is technically known as commander of the post. First Lieut. Frank J. Cramer is in command of Section A, and has direct charge of all matters pertaining to the collegiate section. His adjutant is Second Lieut. Lev. F. Curl. Section B is under command of First Lieut. Thomas G. Foltz. The camp adjutant of Section B is Second Lieut. Thomas C. MacDonald. He regards regarding the personnel of either section and the records of the direction of Second Lieut. Ralph E. Carter, personnel adjutant. First Lieut. Hubert B. McPeak of the Marine Corps is in charge of the naval section. All of these officers have their headquarters in Green Hall with the exception of Lieutenant Foltz, whose office is in the gymnasium. They may be reached by telephone through the K, U. ex- chango.
The representative of the Quartermaster department is Second Lieut. Frank N. Normilce. There are several medical officers on special assignment during the epidemic but First Lieut. Judson P. Allen is surgeon, and in charge of the medical work here. Headquarters of the medical branch are at the infirmary at 1218 Mississippi Street. First Lieut. Charles J.

K. U. Man Only Londoner To Interview Kerensky
Ed. Hullinger, Former Editor of The Kansan, Got an Exclusive "Story"
Ed. Hullinger, a former editor of The Kansan, was the only reporter in London who succeeded in obtaining an interview with Kerensky at the time of the former Russian premier's visit to the British capital. Mr. Hullinger apparently was the only London reporter who spoke and understood French sufficiently well to interview Kerensky at a time when he was available for interviews.
Mr. Hullinger was sent to London a year ago by the United Press after the army rejected him because of defective vision. He is doing the "heavy" part of the interviewing in London for the U.P. In addition he does General Headquarters "stuff," and for a while covered the Rheims sector. Mr. Hullinger was a member of the Allemania and of Sigma Delta Chi while in the University.

S.A.C.T. Synchronizes Reveille to Eliminate Independent Schedules
Individual Company Daily Programs Gives Way to General Order
Orders that went into effect Sunday provide a blanket schedule covering all S. A., T. C. men in barracks. Among other things the new orders prohibit smoking on the campus. This rule heretofore has not been enforced because conditions arising from the epidemic and quarantine, but will be strictly enforced herewith. Fortunately, this initiative will hold by company commanders on Tuesday and Friday nights is provided f6p.
Up to this time each barracks has had somewhat independent program, causing some confusion because of the
bugle calls at all hours. Taps has varied from 9 o'clock to 10, and revelieve from 5:30 to 6:15.
Under the new plan, first call for reveille will come at 6 o'clock and reveille fifteen minutes later. Mess is at 6:45; and drill begins at 7:30. Until school starts again, drill will continue till 11 o'clock; after school resumes only till 9:20. This week drill will be from 1:30 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Inspection and retreat formation will come at 4:45 and mess at 5:30 will follow. The men will be off duty until call to quarters at 6:45. Study will begin at 7 and last till 9. Half an hour later taps will be blown. No announcement has been made as to what arrangements will be made
