TYROS PLAY VARSITY
NUMBER 8
Coach McCarty's Freshmar
Serimimage With Regulars
For First Time
A CONTEST THROUGHOUT
Yearlings Broke Up Play After
Play by Strenuous Tackling
Coach McCarty's freshmen were sent against the Jayhawk Varsity yesterday afternoon for the first time this year and the scrimmage which ensued was a lively one, full of thrills for the spectators and hard work for the players. Three separate Varsity squads were sent against the tyros for short periods of play; and not only the Varsity machine had to be prepared for several minutes could advance be made against the freshman line.
FRESHMEN ALWAYS PEPPERY
"It's this way every year," commented a regular, as he watched the two teams play against iron. "The freshmen come into the game in high spirits, with lots of 'light' in them, and with high hopes of making the freshman square at the end of their season. They are fresh, though probably lacking in endurance; and they can put up a good hard fight against the more experienced men. But the Variety will surpass them almost immensely."
The player's prophecy proved a true one. For the first twelve minutes of play against the tyros, the Varsity was unable to make their downs. A successful pass from a forward pass failed. Only occasionally, when a freshman, becoming unwary for the moment, allowed the Varsity to find a hole in the line, did the regulars gain substantial ground. But at the end of the game, were thrown back for heavy losses.
BUT THE VARSITY GOING AWAY
A fifth attempt at a forward pass was successful; and as soon as one Varasty team had made real progress against the freshman, another team of 12 played all during the serigraphy, always on the defensive. The Varasty held possession of the call during the entire practice; and it was the Varasty that executed all the队 plays.
The second Varsity squad to be sent against the freshmen had better luck in advancing the ball. They had no problems in making the ball, but to make substantial gains every time the ball was put into play. But those gains were not easy to get—the Varsity players
FRESHMAN SQUAD REMARKABLE
There is no denying that the freshman squad showed up remarkably well yesterday afternoon and that there is a wealth of football material in the youngest class on Mount Sinai. They played real Varsity class in their tackling; and they are all men who will be heard from next year.
The freshmen of course had an advantage in that they were not once given the ball to carry. The Varsity is just getting its formations and mass plays "down pat", and until yesterday hod never experienced playing them against opposition. That the team settled down almost immediately to tactily, effective work should be for the training the men are receiving.
PLAY AGAIN TODAY
MITCHELL WRITES BOOK
The freshmen will be sent against the Varsity again today.
Students to Use Typewritten Sheets Till Published
Prof. Arthur Mitchell, of the department of philosophy, has given type-written copies of the first chapter of his new textbook, "Logic" to the students who are taking logic this semester.
The copies are being used as a text-book in his classes until the work is printed in book form. The first edition of this book is ready for use by Christmas vacation.
"The text-book I am preparing",
"the Professor Mitchell this morning,
"derives most if not all its chief points of divergence from a different conception of what logic is about. The logic of reasoning is the interest that is interest, that logic is the 'science of the laws of reasoning', a conception which bases logical principles on the nature of the mind. The central doctrine of the realistic movement is that being is the concept of ultimate generality, and this means that the logical principles are less fundamental nature than realists think logic can be shown to have."
Clay Fiske, the Oklahoma marvel who did duty as a school teacher down in the Sooner state before receiving the higher call to come to Kansas as a football player, watched the scrimmage from the sidelines yesterday, before he was called for night, and he has been unable to run or tackle since. "I'll be all right in day or so," he told interested questioners who asked: "Why the limp?"

UNIVERSITY OF ' NSAS WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 20, 1916. TEMBER 20, 1916.
"Booze" was one of the popular men on the Hill last year. He was a member of the Kanza Club; Sigma Delta Daily Kansan Board, and the Owl society. He was circulation manager of the Kansan, business manager of the Jayhawker and a Knight of the Golden K. Since leaving school he is running the Dodge City, Kansan Journal.

DATE RULE UNCHANGEP
Mrs. Brown Believes Regulation Best That Could Be Made
The rules, regulating the hours during which women may be away from their rooming houses will not be changed this year. This is the one handed down by her Eustace Watson and now it is presented to PRESENT ARRANGEMENTS SATFACIORY
from past experiences Mrs. Brown believes that the present arrangements having to do with the so-called date rule are satisfactory. The continuance of the eleven clock hours of Friday and Saturday nights will depend upon how punctually it is observed by the student body." Mrs. Brown said,
The Women's Student Government Association allows until eleven o'clock on Friday and Saturday nights for women students to return to their rooms. The rule was changed last year from half past ten in order to enable all to see the moving pictures. Whether many of the shows justify this hour is a question.
Many of the landlades protested against the change from half past ten to eleven, claiming that there would be as many infractions of the rule as there were of the one which it supervised.
The other rules of the W, S, G, A, that of no midwake dates and that saying student parties should be held on weekdays or on nights, preceding holidays, need no justification to those who have come to the University for work At the time that the mid-week date rule was reconsidered, sorority women were given the right women and pleaded that the rule be continued, saying that little studyiny would be done at the sorority houses if there were no such rule.
There are two faculty committees created by the University Senate, one on the men's student interests and one on the woman's student interests, the two acting jointly on all soils matters where the interests of the men and women differ. The only changes in the rules governing student organizations and dances were the ones entraining to the closing of the usual subscription dance, the hour was changed to twelve o'clock, and that which permitted to every organization at the university until two o'clock without asking the senate as was necessary before this change was made.
After a week's good time and merry-making, the sororites have been able to choose their pledges. There has been unusually good material among the freshmen women this year and the competition has been highly exciting. The following pledges who were not given yesterday are announced:

BOOSTING LOAN FUND STUDENT TICKETS OUT
Many Students Sign Cards Give From One to Five Dollars
TOTAL NOW OVER $3,500
This Year's Pledges Fall Below Last Year's
Two hundred twenty dollars and twenty-five cents was pledged by students in sums varying from 25 cents to $10 to the Student Loan Fund during registration report, Registrar Geo. O. Foster, reported this afternoon. One dollar was the usual pledge. Two, three and four dollar amounts being next in frequency.
Most of the contributions came from new students, according to the registrar. "Last year," he said, "the contributions amounted to nearly $400." The Student Loan Fund originated in 1894 as a gift from the graduating classes of the College and the School of Engineering, but it was funded by the regulations governing it, to students in the schools contributing the fund. Although this restriction has been removed, preference is shown to upper classmen.
"No loan has ever been made to a freshman," according to Prof. E. F. Engel, chairman of the fund committee, and but few to sophomores. Loans are limited to $100.00, the rate being 4 per cent per annum. Once your after graduation is the usual time allowed for payment.
NEW STUDENTS ARE LIBERAL
Gifts from other sources were also received last year. Governor Capper gave a gift to Chicago, a former student of the University, made the committee trustees of a fund of $1,000. Five hundred twenty-five dollars of this amount are
MANY CLASSES CONTRIBUTE Until 1501, graduating classes followed the precedent set by the class of 1894.
Twenty-one loans were made last war in amounts ranging from $35 to
ADMINISTERED BY FACULTY
The Loan Fund is administered by a committee, the Chief Colleacher, Prof. E, F. Engel, head of the department of German, in the present chairman.
"I doubt if we have sufficient funds to meet all applications this year," said Professor Engel. Our committee considers those that have come in."
The amount available for loans this year consists of the Mead Fund, $525; the fund contributed by students last year, $375.00, and the 1916 Memorial Fund, $278.58. The total is about $3,500.
America's oldest co-ed, a student here at the University of Kansas last year, will enter the University of Miami for fall and win Winship, 85. Mrs. Winship started her education in a log school in Illinois in 1847. She attracted much attention here last year by attending with students sixty years her junior.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

Now Ruled by Chain
Gang Bosses
There is a change in fraternity
becomes. No longer are the
fellowes feted.
YOU WILL BE PLEASED TO KNOW—
"Let 'em know they are freshmen," is the order that has gone the rounds among the different Greek letter members. There are a variety of ways in which this is accomplished. From the sophomore classes of the different fraternities, several are officially designated that day. On Saturday mornings these houses direct certain necessary work around the houses. Freshmen must at all times maintain proper respect to the upperclassmen.
There is a good fellowship about the entire system, however, which does much to make the supposedly unfortunate yearling feel that his constant efforts is for his own good. And fraternity men believe the same way.

YOUR PAPER DESERVES YOUR SUPPORT
CHEMISTS GET PRAISE
FROM NATIONAL MAGAZINE
And kindly remember the folks at home—even though no check is forthcoming—and hand in their names and addresses at the office of the circulation manager (with a three-plunk accompaniment).
Praise for the work of the professors and students of the department of chemistry is given in a recent issue of the Metallurgical and Engineering Journal, a national scientific magazine. The comment is the result of the university's chemical department of an annual magazine, called the Kassan Chemalurgist, in which a survey is made of the year's work.
Credit is given to Kansas by the Metallurgical Journal for being first in many enterprises, not the least of which is having a wide-awake chemistry department at the University. Referring to the work done here in this paper, you will learn that the status "Somebody out there knows how to teach and inspire young men, and the material appears to be of good quality."
WOMEN'S GYM OPENS
Miss Pratt Announces Outline For Year's Work For Freshmen
"Regular and special gymnasium work for women will begin in earnest next week," said Miss Pratt, instructor in the department of physiology at WVU. The monsters will be expected to answer roll call on Thursday, Sept. 28, and This schedule will not affect the classes in hygiene, which have met
Work for freshman women will require at least one hour floor work a week, and two hours outside work, either swimming, tennis or hockey. The special classes in basketball will be taught by the first, when basketball will take its place. Special work in tennis will start next spring.
There will be a change in the plan usually followed by the department of physical education for women. The gym suits will be handled directly through the department. This will insure a uniformity of suits and, according to Miss Pratt, who is handling the suits for the department, they will be of better quality than formerly and will sell for $3.75.
"Everybody should see to it that all suits and shoes are properly marked for identification," said Miss Pratt. "There has been much trouble in the past in keeping track of suits, or not." She said much of this as possible "the year."
The swimming oil will be turned over to the beginners two days a week from now until Thanksgiving, and it is the wish of the department that all the girls who do not know how to swim should learn before that time, because from then on the regular work and classes will take up all the time of those'n charge of the pool.
Special classes in archery are scheduled to start next week, the classes meeting every afternoon at four-thirty. The classes in archery are open only to juniors and seniors, and the plans are largely to train possible contestants for the annual Archery Contest to be held next spring.

FOR A BIG GLEE CLUB
Professor Downing Heard
Twenty Voices in Tryouts
Yesterday
A Male Glee Club of forty voices is the goal set this year by Professor Downing, director of the club and professor of voice in the School of Fine Arts. Extensive plans are already under way to take the Glee Club on a number of trips, and Harry L. Charles, the manager, has outlined a bigger and better repertoire for the group. The special features such as instrumental accompaniments, solos and readings.
The troutys held yesterday afternoon and evening in North College were very successful, some twenty voices being heard by Professor Downing. Over thirty attended these troutys, and those who did not get into the discussion were another chance tomorrow afternoon when a second trouty will be held.
Professor Downing said this morning he wanted a large number of singers out tomorrow to try for the places on the club. In speaking about his new year, Prof. Downing said, "The size of the club and the special activities, not to speak of the extra trips, will make it both an honor and a pleasure to belong. We want a few men who can do specialty stuff, both with instruments and guitars, and along good clean comic song and vaudeville lines.
"The Glee Club is going to be one of the biggest things in school this year, and we want to make it worth coming out and to come out and bear the concerts."
Professor Downing has issued a special request for all who would like to try out for the Glee Club to meet tomorrow at the tomorrow afternoon, at five o'clock.
