RALLY! RALLY!
EVERYBODY OUT
"Beat the Aggies" Rally Breaks Tomorrow Night In Fraser Hall
GEDNEY HAS NEW YELL
Rooters Will Get Printed Copies at Rally—Home Early for Dates
Cheerleader Kenneth Gedney today issued a call for a big turnout at the "Beat the Aggies" rally which will take place Hall at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow night.
The rally will precede the first big game of the Jayhawker's home season. It assumes particular importance because enthusiastic support for the team be a big factor in turning back the big man eleven with another defeat.
WE NEED THE SPIRIT
"We need the rally spirit to match the enthusiasm of the Aggie rooters who will reach Lawrence Saturday morning," Gedney said.
WE NEED THE SECRET.
Those close to the K-1 II football situation contend in a Kansas victory which carries with it the state championship. Not since 1906 has an Agricultural college eleven defeated the Jayhawks and that was the only time. But the Aggies are strong this year. The strong fight put up against Nebraska proves that.
The K. U. Cheerleader is sparing no details to make the yell-fest tomorrow a success. The full University band will be on the job. Gedney announced that the rally would be marked by the introduction of a new yell, known as the Daily Kansan, to the Daily Kansan today for the first time, and cards, printed with the yell, will be handed out at the rally.
The "Double B" yell which will be tried out follows:
Cheerleader Gedney thinks proper support will turn the tide. That's the reason he has issued a call to loyal K. U. men and women to come to the rally. It will be a chance to show the real Kansas spirit and the confidence of the student body in the ability of the team.
DOUBLE "B" YELL.

A meeting of the residents of Oread, called last week, was held last night at the Sigma Nu house. The original purpose of the meeting was to enter a joint protest to the Water Co., but in view of the fact that the service had been improved, no action was taken.
Frank Sauer, manager of the Lawrence Water Co., in speaking of the future of the situation said, "From now on there will be the best of service and it will continue as long as I am here. We have the equipment and the pressure and there should be no cause for complaint in the future."

OTHER TYPHOID CASES DEVELOP
Two Students Recently Inoculated Had Disease Before Receiving Treatment
ANOTHER SUSPECT, ALSO
Lawrence Woman Employed by Club Reported to Have Contracted Disease
The two suspected typhoid cases of Vera L. Furse, c'19, Cimaran, Kan, and Edmond Daly, c'20, Scottville, Kan, which have been under the close observation of a physician here this morning announced by Dr. John Sundwall, head of the University health department, as practically assured cases of typhoid fever. Daly left for his home yesterday in company with his room-mate.
Both Miss Furse and Mr. Dely have undergone inoculations, one having taken three inoculations while the other has received two, but, according to Dr. Sundwall, these inoculations were given too late. They had already been infected before receiving the preventative vaccination for typhoid.
HAD TAKEN INOCULATION
It was reported this morning that another case of typhoid had developed with a woman of mature age who had been employed at the boarding club at 1333 Kentucky street. Dr. R. Bechel, who it is claimed teaching at the college, could not be located this morning to verify the rumored statement.
Even though two additional cases of the fever have been added to the list of University students who have contracted typhoid, Dr. Sundwall seemed a little optimistic about the situation being more in hand each day. Inoculation is stringently urged by the health authorities. The University recommends every afternoon in the week. Tomorrow afternoon, however, being reserved exclusively for men, while Tuesday is for women alone.

"and we expect that fifty will appear at 3:30 in Green Hall, Room 3, tomorrow afternoon, to give an outline speech on the side of the question they have chosen. It is rumored that several of the men who were on the University stage have come out, among whom are H. Merle Smith, Harold Matton, W. O. Hake, Edwin Price, and Roy Davidson."
Send the Daily Kansan home
"The debating council," said Mr. Burns, "is trying to have the question put in a more simple and concrete way. We have asked the council at Nebraska to consider our request."
The question to be debated with Nebraska some time in December is whether submarine warfare upon commerce as now conducted is incompatible with the rights of neutrals and the law of nations in regard to non-combatant forces.

AND CIDER. TOO

floor that will interest dancers as
well as others will be the refreshment

witches will give an additional air of
weirdness to the atmosphere.

NO CHAPEL TOMORROW
Welcoming Convocation Will be Postponed Until Troops Return to Lawrence
On account of the recent disturbances on the Mexican border the examination and mustering out of the troops in the First Regiment en-
trance, he was told to down considerably this morning, according to late dispatches from the Fort this morning. The officers say that they would not be surprised if they should receive orders to return immediately should the 'trouble continue.
The dispatches indicate that the Mexican crisis is far from past and that there is a chance that the troops will be called into use yet. The president relieved by the Michigan and Mississippi militias does not mean that the government is ready to discharge them. The development of the next few days on the border will be followed by the friends of the Kansas guardemen.
The bi-monthly All-University assembly will not be called Friday morning, as was announced earlier in the week, but will be postponed until next week. This was the statement issued by Chancellor Strong this morning.

The exact date of the return of the members of Company M is merely a matter of conjecture. At present the soldiers are at Fort Riley.
