FROSH CARRY BALL
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 27, 1916.
Yearlings On Aggressive Last Night For First Time This Year
FIND HOLES IN VARSITY
"Freshmen Play Better Than Man," Bears, "says varsity Man
They had a jolly little party down on Hamilton Field last night. "They" refers to Coach Olcott's Varsity squad and Coach McCarty's freshmen—and to some four hundred strangers who lined the edge of the field.
The scrimimage between freshme and Varsity wasn't really so much of a party, so far as the players themselves were concerned; but the audience really enjoyed it. And that, too, in spite of the fact that two thirds of the spectators had gone to the field expecting to see the Varsity scrimimage with Haskell. The Invitational would be available to appeal because of injuries to their stars just at the time of the opening of the Haskell season; so Coach McCarty's tyros were sent against the Varsity instead.
FROSH CARRY THE BALL
For the first time this year, the freshmen were given the ball to carry against the Varsity. And they carried it, too, much to the discomfiture of the Varsity coaches and the amusement of the watchers on the side.
"Those freshmen played a much better game than Baker did," said a Varsity man after the practice. "Perhaps it's because they are coached in the same style of stuff the Varsity is taught to use; but that can't be entirely responsible. It certainly is some classy freshman squad."
AND DID IT WELL
Time and again Coach McCarty sent his men burrowing through the Varsity line—usually for only short gains, but sometimes for a long run. Rarely were the tyros thrown back for a loss. Coach Olcott directed the varsity from a position left on the court and Coach Gould good at protection, guiding the freshmen.
"Tear into them there," yelled Mc Carty. "Get through that line."
"Hold them, men, hold them!" came from Olecott. "Are you going to let those freshmen find a hole in your line."
Signals were called, the ball was snapped back, and the play was on. In a moment the men were disengaging themselves from the mass of arms and legs about the downed runner.
UNITY ON THE FIELD
"You there," yelled McCarthy to one of his hopefuls. "You let Burton come through! And Red Minor, too? Why can't you?" Get under them. "Give 'em 'per."
And then another play, successful in getting the ball a little farther down the field. So it went, for more than an hour, coaches yelling, players sweating, and spectators audibly appreciative of everybody's efforts. Plainly, there's unity on the K. U. football field this season.
VARSITY CARRY BALL ALS0
Only once during last night's practice did the Varsity carry the ball against the freshmen.
Debating Society Meets
The usual "twice around the field for everybody" brought the practice to a new level.
The University Debating society will have its first meeting in Room 110, Fraser Hall, tomorrow night. Officers for the ensuing quarter will be elected. Arthur L. Douglas, president of the society, said this morning that the meeting would be open to all men interested in debating.
Legal Fraternity Initiates.
Legal Fraternity initiates.
The legal fraternity of Phi Alpha Delta held initiation last night for the following men: C. A. Randolph, W. Pershing age; Clarence Bailey, Harper Harsher and Fred Pausch. After the initiation the members of the fraternity went to Bricken's Cafe where they were served with a four-course luncheon in honor of their new initiates.
Ohio Banishes Small Caps
This year's crop of freshmen at Ohio University will not be compelled to wear the "postage stamp" variety of caps. Instead they will wear their caps, that relieving them of the humiliation of wearing a small boy's cap.
Attention Freshmen!
No freshman will be allowed to vote at the polls in Robinson Gymnasium next Friday, Sept. 29, unless he brings his registration receipt, or a certificate of his classification from the Registrar. All upperclassmen who were not in school last year will be required to do the same.
Old Man Pep Speaks Further:
Every open football practice should see at least five hundred of our Thundering Tousand down on the practice field so that they will know what to expect when the Crimson and the Blue is unfurled over the first real game of the season next Saturday afternoon. With the winning of this game and the first real outburst of pep, the spirit needs a solid foundation to make it last throughout the season. How much harder you can root if you know what to expect of every man on the team!
Come on out!
K. U. IMPORTS PROFS. ON WITH THE DANCE!
Prof. Daniel da Cruc will arrive at the University tomorrow to become instructor in Spanish and Portuguese Professor Cruz is a graduate of the college of Montariol Bragra, of Portugal, where he received the equivalent of the American bachelor of arts degree in 1901.
Following two years graduate work, he taught in Spain and later at Mezcatz University. Professor Cruz then came to this country to study in the Catholic University of America at Washington, D. He received a doctor of science degree.
Professor Cruz is the fourth foreign-born man to be added to the faculty in the last year. The others: Apple Peterbloom, who is an instructor in the department of German, is a Hollander; R. O. Hoffman, instructor in French, is a native of Belgium and graduate from the University of Ghent; Francis Antuierre, instructor in Spanish, who is of Spanish birth.
"The foreign teachers were necured by chance," said Dean Olin Templin, "but were engaged with a definite purpose. We decided that it will make our University much more accessible to foreign language students whose are not only acquainted with the language but know and demonstrate the customs, habits, and ideals of the different countries represented. Of course, care has to be exercised that we do not let foreign students have any full sense of the word it should have men on its faculty who do not all have the same ideals—who were cast in the same mould. The association of the students with men who think differently about some matters than others is the responsibility of us, and that is our purpose in bringing 'oreign born men here to teach.'"
MIDDLE LAWS SELECT
'16-17 CLASS OFFICERS
With the Law School holding its elections for class officers, University politics are temporarily taking a toll on the election this morning, and the following men were chosen to lead the class for the year: President, Armin Barteldes; vice-president, Wallace O. Burke; professor for Newberger, and treasurer, Harry Hoffman.
The newly elected officers imme-
diately invited the electors to Brick
on Monday.
The other classes will elect later.
To Grant A. B. Degrees
The members of the University Faculty will meet in Room 104, Snow Hall, this afternoon to discuss the granting of Bachelor of Arts degrees to those students who finished their work this summer. Several other things of importance will also be taken up at this meeting.
William Y. Stewart, c'19, of Hutchinson, was one of the first students to go up the river this fall. Bill went up Friday and stayed two days.
There are now two freshman tickets in the field. Posters announced the Deluxe ticket this morning. Mark Putman is named as a candidate for president, "Art" Anderson for vice-president, Jessie Wyatt for secretary, and Reita Mull or treasurer. The Deluxe platform allows students to anti-graft, woman's rights, and class quality. The other freshman ticket headed by Mark H. Adams was announced several days ago.
Bruce Lovett of Manhattan is visiting at the Sig Alph house this week.
Hot water is promised the Gymnasium by the first of the week. Owing to a three months delay in the shipment of boilers used in the heating of the water, shower baths will be a Sparatan luxury until the rest of the work of installing the heaters is completed.
Deluxe Ticket in the Field
There is lots of talk about the poor system of enrolling at the University, but at Oklahoma it took until midnight the first day to enroll 1065 students. Kansas had nearly twice that many at five o'clock.
Gym Will be Bohemian Quarter October 6; Scribes Meet Tonight
A meeting of the Associated Journalism Students has been called for tonight at the Kansas office. All students enrolled in the department, including those in Newpaper I are urged to come. Eight o'clock sharp.
Though it may not be a bit of the "Latin Quarter," old Robinson gym is going to look so much like it on the screen, but he won't have a keen observer to tell the difference. It is doubtful if anyone with a spair of Bohemian in him will be able to resist the spicy informality of the attire and the witchery of the music.
To avoid the unpleasantness of $g$ crowded floor, the executive board of the Associated Journalists decided last week to on sale only 100 tickets for the event.
The board is putting forth every effort to make this the "different" kind of game.
The tickets probably will be put or sale Friday.
Plain Tales from the Hill
John "Art" Malsed, l17, of Parsons, returned today to resume his studies in the School of Law. Malsed sold insurance in Kansas City the past summer for the Bruce-Dodson Company.

A. L. Cockle, liniotype operator in the Kansan office last spring is now in Plattsmouth, Nebraska. Mr. Cockle is a tennis shark and won the year before. He was days ago. This is an honor as players of widely known ability competed.
The Rota Club entertained their new members with a "500" party last Friday afternoon, with Miss Ruby Hilcottess, 1811 Tennessee street. The event included a reception home of Miss Gertrude La Coss, 1301 Kentucky street, Thursday October 5.
Announcement has been made of the approaching marriage of Miss Emmy Josephine Rynerson and Mr. Russell Clark, '14, both of Kansas City. Mr. Clark was prominent in University affairs. He was Editor-in-Chief of the 1914 Jayhawker and sporting editor of the Kansan.

Men's Glee Club will practice Thursday afternoon at 5 in North College.
CITY ATTORNEY PROTESTS
Decorations on Telephone Posts Will Mean Fine
From the precautions that the Lawrence police forces are taking in regard to posting bills and posters on the sidewalks, the office-seeking politicians of K. U. had better be on their guard or they are liable to help the city pay for the Lawrence Waterworks.
Thomas Harley, city attorney, says: "There is an ordinance against posting bills on sidewalks and telephone poles in the city where you caught. Several years ago a few K. U. politicians were bold enough to paste their posters down town and we barged a few of them. Evidently they want to do the same thing this year."
The city ordinance does not cover the Hill, since Oread is state property, but John M. Shea, superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, is opposed to the advertising methods used by the politicians and, will do all he can to stop the practice of marking up the sidewalks on the campus.
“One thing,” he said, “helps us out, and that is that the boys save as much space as possible by putting the posters on top of their rivals’, but it also helps us keep our school anyway, and we will keep a lookout for the offenders in the future.”
SPHINX, HONOR SOCIETY,

PAN-HELLENIC TO CONSIDER
KAPPA SITUATION TONIGHT
A called meeting of Women's Pan-Hellenic will be held at eight o'clock tonight at the Chi Omega house to take further action regarding the suspension of Kappa Kappa Gamma from local Pan-Hellenic Council. The action taken will be in accordance with the orders of immediate procedure which were telegraphed from National headquarters to Lawrence and then whether the national presidents will come out here or not depends on whether the trouble is appealed to National Pan-Hellenic. Until tonight the sororites will give no information and are simply playing a waiting game.
FROSH PERFECT MEN
Clifford Wilbur Best All-Round Man; Opposites Win Out in Rating
Out of 350 freshmen who took the physical examination this fall at K. U., sixteen were considered perfect, according to the system of grading. To Clifford Wilbur goes the honor of being in the system of grading. Wilber is 5 feet 11.8 inches tall and weighs 186 pounds, with a 33 inch waist. Wilber is in the same class in all of his other measurements. Next to Wil伯，the most symmetrical of the boys are Wil伯。Wilber is in at 184 pounds and measured 5 feet 11.5 inches. John Rosenbloom would be the best man except for his height. Rosenbloom measured 5 feet 5 inches，weighed 202 pounds，had a 37-inch waist，and his height was much larger than those of any other freshman examined.
The Greenwood County Club hold its first meeting of the year at the home of Miss Illene Fuller at 126 Kentucky street last night. Officers were elected for the coming year and plans were formulated. The club inducted two new members: students and ex-students at Eureka next spring. The following officers were elected: Carl Betsher, president; Myra Summers, vice-president; Sam Johnson, secretary; and Mary Beal, treasurer. The club will meet every two weeks. **@mary every two weeks.** The next meeting will be on October twelfth.
One of the queerest features of the examinations, this year was the fact that the next person to be examined after Rosenbloom was a man who was the exact opposite to him. This diminutive yearling was only 64.5 inches tall, weighed 99 pounds and, although fairly symmetrical in his class, he had the smallest measurements of any of the men inspected. The new headman who was 6 feet 4 inches tall, weighed only 122 pounds and measured 28.5 inches around the waist. Another man was strong in his arms, but below the waist his measurements were way below the average.
Harold Sutton, c'19, of Liberal, will not be in school this semester. Sutton underwent an operation for appendix A hospital in Kansas City last Monday.
Greenwood County Club Meets
AREN'T YOU GLAD
—That your paper handled the news story of the expulsion of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority from K. U. Pan-Hellenic council in a perfectly fair and square manner; that both sides were given the opportunity to tell their beliefs and contentions; that no partisanship was shown by your paper at all; that your paper showed, in that one story the high ideals it has as to accuracy and fair play?
—That the advertising in your paper is clean and dependable— every bit of it—and that you can trust in the word of every business house represented there?
—That the circulation of your paper is larger right now than at any time in the history of the Kansan?
You are glad and proud of those things. It is the purpose of the staff of this paper to make every issue a credit to the University; to be so guided by the principles of the Newer Ethics in the newspaper game that any number you may choose will be one to which you can point with pride and say "That is MY school paper."
Many of you have shown your appreciation in letters of commendation on the first few issues. More have shown appreciation in their readiness to subscribe, enabling the marking up of a circulation record.
Only a few of you have been negligent. To those few, we just want to announce that the business office phone is K. U. 66 and that someone is at the end of the wire ready to take your name and street address.
Jump now while the jumping is good. Don't miss another issue.
Sincerely yours.
Business Manager,

JAY WALKERS BEWARE
Lawrence Police Force Has Traffic Rules for Motorists and Walkers
NO MERCY FROM NOW ON
Some Have Been Arrested But Not Fined
"An' the Lawrence Cops'll getcha
If
You
Don't
Watch
A RELIEF TO STUDENTS
At last that vain, elusive thing known as "jay-walking" has been defined, and from now on the Lawrence police force is going to expect the students to obey the traffic rules the same as anybody else.
FINES FOR VIOLATIONS
It will be a relief to many students, however, to find out that those wicked looking white lanes at the corners are not the only places where pedestrians can cross the streets. The general rule applies that you are safe no matter where you cross, just so you cross at right angles—and in a straight line—from the sidewalk. At this point the same number of pedestrians will have to follow the block but in the middle of the block it will be necessary to depend on eyesight to determine what is and what is not a straight line.
Those who violate the rules will be subject to a fine of not less than one dollar and not more than one hundred dollars. Furthermore, if a motor or any other vehicle runs into a pedestrian while he is crossing the streets in accordance with the traffic rules, the driver is liable for damages.
To cross the street diagonally not only lays the walker liable to fine, but he can recover no damages in case of injury.
There is a maze of other complicated rules, including a speed limit of twenty miles an hour outside the "congested district", where it is twelve. The conjectured district is also defined as from 6th to 11th streets on Massachusetts, on 8th street from Vermont, on 9th street from Kentucky to New Hampshire, and 7th street from Vermont to New Hampshire.
There is also a rule which sets a speed limit of twelve miles an hour past school buildings. There are a number of rules for parking a car, turning at the corners, and for driving and signaling in general. Anybody can get a complete set of the rules from the chief of police.
The Men's Glee Club will meet
Tuesday for practice at North
Tower.
