THEY'RE MUCH IN THE WAY
Senior Laws Learning to Handle Their "Sticks"

"I know of many scratched shins and the like among the crowd, and I will carry them," he added over their sticks going down the Law Building steps," said Uale Jimmy, "But it's been the same for years, and they have long to get used to carrying a car."
"The custom started five or six years ago and I hope it will remain as long as we have a law school at the University of Pennsylvania itself, but I like the idea of our customs."

HASKELL FULL OF PEP
JOIN NATIONAL LEAGUE
Early Enthusiasm and Large Turn Out Encourages
Haskell
Despite stories, to the effect that the Haskell Indians are on the toboggan in the football world, this year's team will be their heaviest and fastest in years. When the Jayhawker team scrimmages with them Tuesday they will find a surprise awaiting them.
Under the leadership of Coach A. M. Venne, a fullblood Indian football man from Carlisle and with the help of thirteen letter men who returned Haskell is looking forward to a successful year.
Victoria Burroughs, c'20, spent the week-end at her home in Salina.
Neal Ireland, manager of the book exchange last year, is studying law in the University of Michigan. "It was a pretty hard pull getting started," he writes, "but I like the work fine now."
A feature that explains the great amount of enthusiasm the Indians have so early in the season is that Captain Charles Williams, is well liked by the members of the team. This will do away with hard feeling that nearly resulted in disaster for the team last year.
Before outsiders were even giving the game a thought the Indians were out in the hot weather practicing and their ease at handling the ball shows mid-season form. They have an ability to turn the pitch and the new men are making the older candidates work hard to keep their positions.
"The boys are working unusually hard this year," said Coach Venne, "and their pep so early in the season was really a surprise to me. We are learning all the skills of men who turned out we are lining up some good material. The boys will get their first taste of football tomorrow then we will scrimmage with the Jayhawkers. We have a hard ahead of us during year, including Notre Dame, Wisconsin, we expect to make good showings against all of them."
Walter A. German, of Glen Elder a sophomore in the College last year, was in Lawrence this morning visiting friends. He is on his way to Chirometeachers he will attend the Rush Medical school, which open November 2.
Coach Venne has had a good opportunity to get acquainted with his men since he was director of athletics at the Institute last year. In succeeding Coach Kennedy he will devote his entire time to football.
Miss Florence Hague, c'11, has accepted a position as instructor in zoology at Wellesley College. Mass. Miss Hague 'has been doing special work at Woods Hole, Mass., during the past summer.
Teaches At Welleslev
GYM CLASSES TO WORK

Mr. Harrison is a firm believer in outdoor gymnastics. "Outdoor games will put the men in condition to enjoy the gymnastics apparatus," he said.
OUT IN OPEN
LOOK FOR GOOD FIGHT
With Sunday to rest, except for a five mile hike in the afternoon, the Jayhawker team should be in good shape for the practice game with the Baker squad on McCook Field this afternoon.
Coach Olcott Anticipates Stiff Scrimmage Today With
Guided by Cheerleader Gedney's announcement of open season Friday, Fayette will receive a facialbursting of pep restraints is expected to take place this afternoon by a big turnout for the first real test of Coach Olcott's grid.
It is quite likely that every member of the team will have an opportunity to show himself on the field this afternoon, but the playing will be very light. No attempts will be made for a big score, but when the Normals arrive Saturday they will find the squash in the best of shape. Pringle is much improved. Casey, though he is over the soreness in his left hand, still has an attack of gripe. Fiske, the husky Oklahomaman, will be ready for action. Striker will probably have matters adjusted so that he can be out for a trout in the game today, though he only enrolled Friday.
Many cripples who have been out of the game for some time will be back, and "Red" Miner has at last seen him. He can be seen in a suit on McCook today.
The coaches expect a much harder practice game when they meet the Indians from Haskell tomorrow afternoon. The coach will play the game with a fighting spirit but their play this year will be much more on the open style and the injuries that generally resulted from line plunges will probably be elimi-
Both games will be played on Me
Cook to show the players the lay of
the ground which is different than
that of Hamilton Field.
PLEDGES SLUMP IN EGO
Sorority Fledglings Must Obey or be Tubbed
There comes a change this week in the sorority houses where newly pledged freshmen are treated with more indifference than in the fraternal order. Freshmen girls will know there is a world of difference between an upperclass student and a mere yearling. The younger girls will learn telephones are to be answered quickly, the older girls will curry and a delay might cost a "date."
All such information is imparted with sweet politeness, but there is a realization of the meaning on the part of the newly pledged.
More important will be the steps that follow. Mary, a freshman, is tired. She is in no hurry to carry out the orders of an upperclassman.
Then will Miss Freshman learn
be status, and incidentally, experience
of the environment.
Brown is Some Fisher
W. E. Brown, superintendent of the Journalism department at St. Louis, spent most of the summer studying the Linotype machine at the Mergenthaler factory in Brooklyn. After returning from the East, Mr. Brown returned to Colorado through Colorado where Mr. Brown for the big fellows that lurk just beneath the rapids. While the snapshots of the bigger ones have been lost, Brown's reputation for vernacity has remained a useful aid that he is "some" fisherman.
"Do it yourself," says Mary. "I
 didn't come to K. U. to be your
serious teacher."
A "tubbing" occupies a place of dis-
friability; only highly skilled to
like acute rites.
Michigan Aggies Vote Dry
A straw vote among the students of Michigan Agricultural College, Lansing, at the very close of the day voted against prohibition on which the state votes in November, resulted as follows: Men, dry 464, wet 117; women, dry 169, wet 7. Of the men 79.8 per cent and of the women 96 per cent.

RALLY AND PARADES TO FEATURE OPENING OF FOOTBALL SEASON
Cheerleader Gedney Plans Big Celebration for Friday Night
WANTS UPPER CLASSMEN
Asks Every Man and Woman in University to Help
"The Biggest and Best Yet" is the promise of Cheerleader Gedney for the pep meeting scheduled for next Friday night in Fraser chapel, the night before the first game of the season. It is also the first official rally of the season.
Not that "Mister" Gedney abors these nightly pep meetings which started last week. But they were unofficial while the one to be held in Fraser Chapel Friday evening is the regular and annual pep meeting which always gets the bunch and the team started right for the season. The doors will be open early and the crowd can come whenever it please.
Seniors, juniors, post-graduates, faculty are all urged to be there with the freshmen and sophomores, who always show up. But the word urged is too weak for this meeting. They were especially invited. If any of said women have dates they should bring them along and demand that they do their share of "Rock Chalking." And if any of said ladies have not dates, they will come to this rally, the first official one and the biggest and best yet.
Gehney, at noon today, was unable to announce his assistant cheerers. He used them ready for public inspection and approval on the platform Friday night.
AIR CHARGED WITH PEP
The Friday night rally will be carried on in old-fashioned style, and if the crowd fails to show pep the cheerleader will be one disappointed man. "I can just feel the pep creeping in his school," remarked Gedney. "And it'll be to break about Friday night. We haven't shown of the stuff that makes football teams yet in our rallies for we have hardly had time. But just watch for the 'Thundering Thousand' to do its duty Friday night."
Professional Pan Iellenic
Opposes Dates at Games
Dateless football rooting received another impetus yesterday when the Council of Professional Fraternities went on record as opposed to dates in 1942. The council is made up of representatives of the professional fraternies on the hill, and their expression will carry considerable weight. At a meeting at the alpha Chi Sigma house yesterday afternoon the members agreed to attend the section for men only, in order to increase the efficiency of the rooting.
ILLINOIS WANTS REVENGE
Last Game Twenty-Four Years Ago
Many K. U. football followers do not know Kansas has met Illinois on the gridiron. There is a good excuse, too, for their forgetting or not knowing when Kansas was on October 27, 1892 before a large part of the present student body was born.
The game was a 26 to 4 victory for Some, Some of the Lawrence "bugs" will help the Lawrence who helped Kansas win. The list includes Dumm, Mattison, Hamil, Hudleston, Captain Kinzie, Mendall, Springer, Springer, Springer, Patt and Chlamplam.
The record of the game is contained in a book in the office of Manager W. O. Wilson, who is the university students find out about the game, they no doubt will say the present day Illini eleven will be out for retenuation by the Jayhawkers at Urbana Office.

It includes two bands, school celebrities, state and city officials, and every man enrolled in the University. Seats will be reserved at McCook Field for all in college. There will be nothing doing at the field until the parade arrives.

The first display of the new fall reshman millinery will be one of the features of the parade. Every freshman will be in the parade under pain if falling under the paddle. Every reshman must wear his cap.

BIG NIGHT SHIRT PARADE
WANTS EVERYBODY IN PARADE
They think you sit on the ground until the parade comes there for we want them all in the gang,' said Gedney. We know the way we use a man but we are wondering whether the upper-classmen will help us out."
WANTS GOOD ORDER
Win or lose, the night shirt parade will happen." And here again Gedney assures us of the biggest and best yet. The merchants have promised nothing definite in the way of entertainment for the revellers but that they are not going to. The night shirt paraders will assemble the campus Saturday night and march down Adams, on through the resident district and then down town to the Eldridge House corner from where the wintings in and out of the stores will be set. White plans will be announced by Chancey Gardeny either at the big rally or Gedney evening just before the bunch leaves the campus.
"I wish we could have perfect order this year," urged Gedney. "Last year everything was fine until the latter part of the parade. I urge that he do his part in keeping the best or order and we will have no trouble.
"I can't talk enough about the upperclassmen getting into the spirit of the thing," continued the cheerleader. They are needed and their knowledge of how things are done is invaluable."
