WILL LEAVE FOR AMES
Jayhawkers Off Tonight To Play First Conference Game of Season
HEATH AND FOSTER OUT
Captain Lindsey and Todd Wil
Play Quarterback
With plenty of determination and a firm belief that they have a chance to win, the members of the Jayhawker football squad will leave tonight for a trip to Japan, where they play the season. The practice last night was rather discouraging but the belief that a poor practice the night before indicates a good game gives the Kansas followers hopes that a good team be made on the northern gridron.
Probabilities at present are that the K. U. eleven will be weakened by the loss of both Rea Heath and Stem Foster. Heath's sprained knee still causes the veteran end to limp. Foster has several boils which means that Todd and Lindsey will be the reliances for the quarterback position.
An encouraging feature from the Kansas standpoint is the return of Frost. Frost was allowed to scrimmage at his right tackle position for the first time against Ottawa Tuesday and since then has played regularly with apparently no damage to his injured shoulder.
Last night Coach McCarty's fresh were brought on to Hamilton Field about five o'clock for the usual scrimmage. The youngsters were given the bench and Rustenbach and Marilynville, the two of whom through the Jayhawker line for a succession of gains. When the Varsity took the ball open field play was resorted to for gains. Two long forward passes, Pringle to Shinn and Kirk did a bit of pretty open field running after intercepting a pass.
Coach Olcott is developing a new kicker in the person of Vernon, the big sophomore guard candidate. He will be playing punts but he takes more time than Lindsey. When this fault is remedied, he may be called back to do the booting. Vernon and Wint Smith are working on the kick off with good success.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 13, 1916.
Kansas scouts who watched the Iowa Aggies defeat Highland Park returned anything but satisfied with the prospect before Kansas tomorrow. The reputed 170 pound average of the Iowa State squad was reported to be more nearly that of the 190 pound average of Kansas, while Mayser was declared to have two vet offenses and defenses much warrier.
The fact that the game with Ame will count in the Missouri Valley conference standing naturally means that no effort will be spared to put the best Jayhawker team possible in the field. The Ames-Kansas classt Saturday will be played simultaneously between Ames and Missouri meeting Washington at Columbia and Nebraska playing the Kansas Argies at Lincoln.
Coaches Olecott and Clark and Manager Hamilton will accompany the
Names of the twenty-four men who will leave for Iowa this afternoon are: Centers, Miner Hart; ends, Ruffin; tackles and guards, Frost, Woody, Kabler, Vernson, W. Smith, Burton Palkowsky; halfbacks, Lindssey, Russell, Cowgill, Fast, M. Ruble, Pringle; backs, Foster, fullbacks Strickey

MARTINELLI MAKES HIT
Soldier Opera Singer Captures Hearts of Hearers With Sweet Voice
Opening the 1916-17 concert course, Giovanni Martinelli, soldier-opera singer, sang himself into the hearts of 1,500 persons in the brief space of two hours last night in Robinson Wilson last night. A sweet voice, a charming personality, and a program which ranged from Tosti to Schumann, tell the story.
Mr. Martiniell drew an unusually large audience for a first evening. And his reception was correspondingly warm.
Probably the climax of the applause was reached following "Les Deix Grenadiers" (Schumann). The M'appari from "Martha" (Flotow) and "Pensez d'Automme" (Massenet) also were well received.
What Mr. Martiniell's voice may have lacked in depth it made up for in sweetness. He was encored time and again.
Guiseppe Bamboschek, accompanist,
made an extremely favorable impression
with Rachmaninoff's "C-sharp
Prelude" and "Poilloneille," and
"Encrée." He played Oregn's
"Le Bois" and "Cascade" (Verdi-
Volverambert) as encores.
Mr. Bomboschek was particularly successful in tone work in pianissimo passages. His playing was charac- teristic, using shade and clean punctuation.

TO USE NEW METHOD
Money for Y. W. C. A. Budget
To Be Raised By New
The finance committee of the Y. W. C. A. has started a campaign to raise the $1,800 needed to meet this year's budget. Plans for the campaign were made at a meeting Wednesday and the committee began active work today.
Plan
Virginia Lucas, chairman of the committee and Miss Marcia Dunham, executive secretary of the western central field of the Y. W. C. A. talked to the women who will push the campaign.
This year each of the ten women on the committee chose ten assistants of whom will see six women students. In this way every woman in the University has an opportunity to contribute whether she becomes an active member of the Y. W. C. A.
This year a new method of raising money will be tried. Formerly the amount needed to complete the budget over which it was by a $1 increase in fee and the regular sources of income was made through parties and sales.
The Y, W, C, A. meeting next Tuesday will be a finance meeting.
The Reverend Noble S. Elderkin will speak. At six o'clock the finance banquet will be given, which all members are expected to attend.
"The method," said Miss Dunham, "emulates the example of Miss Dodge, a former national president of Y. W. C. A. She believed in raising money for religious purposes, only in a dignified way. No one will be urged to give anything. If they contribute it will be quite voluntary."
Wednesday and Thursday are the days when the committees are to see all the students. A tea will be given on each of these evenings at which the members of the committee are to report their progress.

A PLEA FOR IDEALS
Doctor Burdick, Vice-Chancellor of University Speaks to Students
TOO MANY ARE DRIFTING
Every Man and Woman Should Have a Purpose
"The great body of students, both men and women," said Doctor Burdick, "don't know what they are going to need for their fixed purpose or aim and need some one to guide and assist them in choosing their life work."
A plea for ideals and a definiteness of purpose was made to the students this morning by Dr. W. L. Burdick, vice-chancellor of the University at the second convolution of the year. It was Doctor Burdick's first appearance before the University public since his appointment last summer.
TOO MANY ARE DRIFTING
“Even if you do not realize your ambition,” continued Doctor Burdick, “in your efforts to do so you were working aimlessly.”
Ninety per cent of the people of America today are drifting, according to the vice-chancellor and a great many in this classification are college students. They have no set purpose in life and lacking that they drift along in the path of the least resistance and fail to achieve the success they would if they were struggling toward a definite ideal.
Doctor Burdick used the lives of William Shakespeare and Walter Scott as examples of men of ideals who kept that before them and accomplished things far beyond their expectations. Shakespeare went to London for the primary purpose of retrieving his fortune.
EVERYRODY HAS GENIUS
The speaker said he believed there is a spark of genius in everybody, which if it is recognized and interpreted as a calling will bring more success to everyone than he has ever expected. Too many students want their parents or faculty members to choose their life work for them and this is something that each individual should decide for himself.
Boyhood ambitions were mentioned. The ambition of one of the members of the board of administration, who was on the platform at the time, was to be a stage driver, Doctor Burdick said and he only became governor of the state of Kansas. The honorary professor of the state was to be an expert trapeze performer and he only became chancellor of the University of Kansas.
"Everybody can do some one thing a little better than something else and it is the problem of every student to learn for himself what that thing is and to use the slang phrase 'to get there'," said the vice-president. "You students here are particularly fortunate to have the privilege of attending this great University and to get the benefit of its admirable facilities." The University, nor your home, can do anything for you unless you have one thing in you and that one thing is purpose.
EACH FOR HIMSELF
"Know where you are, going young man, and although it may take a long time to get there, if you have a definite direction of progress, and come some little advance forward each day, you will, in the end, achieve success."
Prof. W. B. Downing, of the School for Fine Arts, sang two solos, "Progune to Paglierecch" and "The Rose's Breeding Doctor Burdick's address."
VENTILATION WAS BAD
Considerable complaint was reported to the janitors and authorities following the convocation because of the bad ventilation in the chapel The air in the gallery was said to be especially bad.
MARTINELLI DID NOT
UNDERSTAND APPLAUSE
Dean Harold L. Butler, of the School of Fine Arts, had a hard time explaining to Giovanni Martiniell, tenor of the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York who sang in concert last night, that he would receive only a slight applaure to each of his selections. Mr. Martiniell said in his broken English, "Do people do not like English?" Do Buler explained that in the west the people think that the solist does not care to respond to their encores if he does not render another selection after their second applaure.
In the east singers never reappear until the second encec. Upon the fourth encec they respond. They think that their hearers do not care to hear another selection if they do not encore time and again. Dean would encourage more they would be rewarded with more selections. Many soloists do not understand the American way of showing appreciation.
Webster Holloway, '14, was in the party yesterday that accompanied his wife to the concert.
