SURETY AGAINST TROUBLE
Many Freshmen Football Men Had Difficulty Last Year
The Athletic Helpers of K. U.
the A. H. O. K. U., if you please
are going to be on the job from the
start. A meeting of the organization has been called for Thursday night, at which time Leon McCarty will have ready a list of names of the team can be helped in their studies.
The A. H. O. K. U. was organized just before the close of school in June, 1916, harrely through the office of the Student Council committee from the Student Council,
In the past, the University of Kansas has lost many promising athletes through scholastic difficulties. An example of this is the buckingham last year. There was a world of speed in the bunch, but half of the members fell by the wayside because they did not successfully meet the requirements of the Missouri Valley Conference which demand that 28 hours be passed.
The members of the A. H. O. K. U. are good students who have the interests of K. U. athletics at heart. They are willing to give part of their time in assisting athletes, and in providing scholastic lines. It is the plan to make membership of the organization one of the big school honors.
K. C. FANS ON INTERURBAN
Manager Hamilton Expects Increased Interest In Games
Manager Hamilton is counting on more Kansas City "skechers" coming into the athletic department treasury this fall. His reason is the new interurban service which he expects will bring a large number of the Kansas City fans to its home" games on the Jayhawker schedule. These games are:
September 30, with Emporia Normals; October 28, Kansas Aggies; November 4, Oklahoma at Lawrence; November 30, Missouri at Lawrence.
HANDLE MANY BOOKS
The interurban management also will advertise the Haskell games in Lawrence, which will be played as early as January; October 6, Hays Normal; November 11, Emporia Normal. With seven good collegiate games, Lawrence is expected to draw heavily from outside sport fans. The interurban service also will host a tag-skiing fray with Missouri the largest of any since the annual clash was taken away from Kansas City.
Exchange Sales Have Been
$350.
Nearly 1,000 books have been handled by the student book exchange so far this year and the total sales amount to about $250. At least $200 worth more of books could have been sold if it had not been for the fact that the textbooks were changed in many departments. A large number of books were received for which there was no demand on that account.
Until today the sales had about equalled the number of books that came in but the sales are now decreasing rapidly and some books are still being brought in. Many books are now at the exchange for which there was a big demand last week and it was stated that those books can now be seen at the exchange now that there has been at any call for.
Friday and Saturday will be the days for settling up according to the announcement made this morning, so that you can receive the exchange must call then and receive either their book or their money. The exchange will be open from 3:150 to 5:300 on Friday for this purpose and from 2:150 to 4:300 on Saturday.

The REV. MR. R. W. OLIVER First Chancellor of the University,
OFF-SIDE PLAYS
"The biggest parade we've ever had—one that'll be three miles long," is Manager W. O. Hamilton's desire for the annual opening event on the K. U. football calendar. "We're making big plans this year, and the parade will reach from one end of Massachusetts Street to the other."
As has been customary in the past, the state executives, including Governor Capper and Lieutenant-Governor Morgan, will be asked to ride at the head of the procession to have a special car. The leading procession will be the K.U. band; then the K.U. team; and the Normal team in motor trucks; and then the freshman squad, the governor's party, and the guests of the athletic association. The team will move slowly, and, at the end of the long line, Cheerleader Kenny Gedney will lead his "Thundering Thousand."
Forty freshmen were out yesterday afternoon for the beginning of the second week's practice. It was their first work-out since their two-hour scrimage. Saturday afternoon, Coach McCarty, assisted by Lefty Sproull, was in charge, diligently instructing the tyros in several signal plays and in the proper manner to handle men on the defense.
"Seems to me those freshmen are remarkably light," commented a by-
"Ask that little chap with the tern jersey how much he weighs," suggested his companion. The bystander did.
"Hundred and ninety-five," was the answer.
"You pasty-faced, overfed, white-lipped beamed barges experts, what do you mean by running a beauty show instead of a football game?" It is a coach talking. "Do you suppose I came out here to be art director of a statuary exhibit? Does any one know how much the difference between a football game and ushering in church? Don't fool yourselves; you don't. You don't know anything. All you ever know about football I could carve on granite and pit it in the ground. You don't know the difference between a football and a duck's agu. If I ever turned the Old Folks' Home loose on you doll babies they'd run up a century while you were hunting for your handkerchiefs, Jackson, what do you suppose a half-dozen models. I want a man who can stick his head down and run. Don't be afraid of that bean of yours; it hasn't got anything worth saving in it. When you get the hall you're supposed to run with it and go to Saumier's. You hold that other guard just like a sweet-pea vine. Where did you ever learn that sweet, lovely way of fall
ing down on your nose when a real man sneezes at you? Did you ever hear of sand? Eat! Eat! Eat! I fill yourself up with it. I want to go into that line and stop something, or we work with them. Worried womboh. Don't be afraid-this isn't a rude game. It's only a game of postoffice. You needn't act so nervous about it. Maybe some of the big girls will kiss you, but it won't hurt." That's the way, according to George Fitch, that Coach Rost used to talk to
Now, our own Lefty Sproull is still an amateur at the coaching game, bein' as he's only been out of school a few years ago, and he is coming a "man-eating" coach. He has as many extra-fine, double-decked, special terms of endearment for his freshman tyros as any man of his exe- tion — maybe I should learn his learning how to use 'em, too!
We expect much from Lefty (literally speaking) in the future.
Jayhawker "grit" showed itself yesterday afternoon when there appeared on the field for practice five Varsity men who have received injuries that would keep an ordinary person at home in an easy chair.
Tom Pringle, a promising freshman last year who is out for half-half this season, went through the punting drill and signal formation, though his injured right shoulder pained him constantly. Pringle to his right wounded his left arm on his joint last Wednesday night, and the bone has remained out of joint. According to Dr. H. T. Jones, it will be a week or ten days before the soreness subside. Pringle was forced to seek the sidelines last night after hurting his shoulder in attempting to stay home about a week and let this thing heal up," he said as he sank to "the earth with a groan.
Reed, a nonhombre out for left end, played all afternoon despite a bulky bandage on his right hand. Reed split the bone in the middle finger of his right hand last week; but his injury is not at all serious.
Lewis Foster, quarterback, unbled
about with his head enclosed in a
womb of handgear and a helmet. Fos-
sion's head is seen in his section
murder last week.
"We have no serious injuries," said Assistant Coach Clark, when quoted about his training with a player can stand on his feet he's all right—injury to an arm
truss Cowgill engages this year in Varsity competition for the first time. He went through a backpack went through the practice with considerable of a limp. Cowgill twisted his knee last Thursday, and it now requires some three pounds of bandage to keep it in running order. Serubly Laudell, though he suffered a torn vibh last week, vainly protested the foot all afternoon, grumely all afternoon. Nevertheless, to use a spectator's apt phrase, he "ran sort of lop-sided."
