MANY WATCH SQUAD
Two Hundred Students on Side lines See Varsity Work-out
PUNTING IS SPECTACULAP
Players Delighted With Interest Shown in Team
Two hundred spectators, largely men from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes, watched Coach Olecato's first practice of a late afternoon in the most impressive practice of the season. Preliminary work in kicking and in signal running opened the day's work, which included practice and light scrimmage closed it.
PUNTING DRILL SYSTEMATIC
The punting practice—systematic allly planned, orderly executed—brought the most common from a stadium and the Hamilton field, the kickers, tacklers, ends, and centers were stationed; at the east, ten or twelve guards and runners. Two balls were used constantly. The center at the west end of the field threw a ball to the punter who kicked it; simultaneously with the first movement of the ball, running down the field to meet the runner who caught the punt. The ball sailed high and straight through the air; the runner caught it; the guards formed his interference; and they ran forward until the runner was tackled and the theoretically downed. Then another sound of men repeated the performance.
PRAISE FOR COACHES
Over and over again, as the purling drill went on in its orderly fashion, praise of the team's work and of the musicians on stage, the spectators. "I never saw the Varsity so absolutely clock-like in the precision of its movements," said one onlooker. And that was exactly the right word—clocklike, deadly pre
PRECISION CHARACTERIZES WORK
After the punting drill, three teams of Virtit men were sent up and down the flats in signal formations, prepare to the scrimmap. The same mechanical precision agar-chaemia and interference all being accomplished by each team with the certainty of a chemical formula. Two atoms of guard plus two atoms of hallback, mixed carefully with one atom of sand, are to be a combination which resulted universally in substantial gains.
Scrimage lasted only a few moments, as it was late when the squad went home. The team even they had just been absorbing, much to the interest of the spectator; who had remained until the very last moment—at the risk of missing their
"I like to see so many students down here on the side-lines," said one of the players, as he lay on the rubber's table in Hamilton Hall. "It shows that the fellows are really interested in the team. And believe me, it's a lot easier to sweat and pant and gasp for breath out there if you think there's someone watching you work. Football isn't easy work, by any means; but plenty of encouragement is one thing that can make it easier."

BEGIN DEBATE ACTIVITY
Kansas Takes Lead In Proposing Questions to Colorado and Oklahoma
Kansas has taken the initiative this year in naming the questions for the triangular debate between the Universities of Oklahoma ka, Colorado, and Kansas. Three questions were more serious than the question of the debating council, the first, pertaining to compulsory investigation of industrial disputes; the second, the question of universal military service, and the third, non-protection of the property rights of non-resident American investors in foreign countries; councils at Oklahoma and Colorado will choose one of these propositions.
Prospects for this year's debating squad are bright, according to Odis H. Burn, instructor in public speaking at the University of Haskell, Hake, star debater in the Kansas-Ciscoorde debate last year, Merie Smith, Harold Mattou, and Roy Davenport, experienced debaters, be back to talk their places on the platform for K. U.
Announcement of the questions proposed by the Nebraska team for the debate between Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri will be received soon. Debate tryouts will be published in the Kansan in a few days.
TO BAR FOOTBALL DATES
Sigma Chis Start Plan to Help Rooting
In an attempt to create a new football spirit at the University, the Sigma Chi fraternity paved the way for a new movement that has proved a success at other schools, when it announced this morning that none of its members would be allowed to escort women to the football game this season.
It is rumored that other secret organizations on the Hill have been considering this plan for some time and stand ready to follow suit.
"That the men is a good one," said a prominent senior this morning, "cannot be denied. It is self evident that men can do better cheerling if all are in the rooters' section than if scattered throughout the stands."
A Sigma Chi said, "A large number of men on the Hill! are willing to push this proposition. We hope that, as we have already demonstrated, far valuer wherever it has been put into practice, it will find fertile ground here at Kansas, and that the formal opening of the football season will be the occasion for compelled to sit in the rooters' section."
If a fraternity or sorority wants anyone at DePauw, they are "spiked" instead of pushed. While fraternities are allowed to pledge the first week of college, they are not allowed to give invitations to "spike" parties until the second week. The invitations are taken around the second Monday morning at 7:30, and the girls return for their answers at the next week is given over to "spiking".

POLITICIANS GET BUSY ORIGINAL SONGS URGED
Aspirants Are Out For Office In All Four Classes This
TICKETS NOT ALL READY
Freshmen Anxious Over Their Leaders For First Year
Political enthusiasm is beginning to grow. Only ten days more and the exciting business of elections will be here. The Student Council rules provide that the election be held on September 29, and that officers of the treasury and treasurer and secretary are to be elected. In addition there will be a hop manager, two junior prom managers and an editor and business manager of the Jayhawker. Of the two annual elections—the one in the fall and the one in the spring—most usually the most exciting since the offices to be sought amount to more.
TICKETS NOT YET READY
All of the tickets have not yet been announced, though one can get a picture of secret controversies where would-be candidates meet to plan out their campaigns. The other classes have not yet put out tickets, but it is expected that Cowell will run for senior president, and Floyd Welsh for Soob Hon manager.
The Australian ballot will be used this year and the eligibility rules are going to be enforced very strongly. It is thought this will do away with the election scandal of last year. A candidate must turn in a petition containing the names of twenty persons eligible to vote to the president of the Student Council by Tuesday preceding election.
FRESHMEN WANT ORGANIZATION
If the freshman class has no classes,
they are getting acquainted
rapidly, and each one is wondering
who will be put up for officers. It is
also important to know where on some candidate in a day or two.

Biggest of Kind In Gymnasium Saturday Night—Wedell Will Be There
Y. M.-Y. W. GIVE PARTY
Stunts will be the feature. The chairman of the social committee says he has some stunts that were never witnessed before on Mount Orenand and these alone are worth the price of admission which will be ten cents.
As a result of the success of the Y, M.-Y. W. parties which were hold last year the committee in charge is laying plans for the biggest party of its kind to be held on Friday night in the Gymnasium. This party will be the first of a series of six events which the two organizations will hold during the year. This is the big opportunity for the new and old members of the party, so a person will be required to pin his name where it will be visible while at the party. The receiving line will be composed of Chancellor and Mrs. Strong, Ed. Todd and Evaine Strong, members of the two societies, and the members of the committee charge of the evening.
Will Give Smoker
A supper composed of lee and waferts will be served. It has been given out at the last minute that Huey Lowe, the host, Y. M., will make his first public appearance Saturday night. Dutch has been sick for some time and is quite tired, so he will be much pleased to think he will be able to attend this first party of the year.
Alpha Chi Sigma will give a smoker Thursday evening at 1614 Kentucky Street for those majoring in chemisties. Occasions have been extended to fifty classes, including members and students. The evening will be spent in talks and stunts.

Bards to Get
Rusy
The question now is "Shall the students of K. U, continue to sing 'Crimson and the Blue' and 'Stand Up and Cheer' and to arouse enthusiasm with a 'Rock Chalk'?" or shall they adopt new songs and new yells?
SCHOOL NEEDS NEW YELLS
Rooters Overwork Rock Chalk;
Variety Desirable
There are some who claim that the old songs and yells are not of a high enough standard and that now one is more likely to find a hard A. Wattles the greatest need at present is distinctive K. U. music, music for K. U. Uss's songs have been born.
EASTERNERS MORE ORIGINAL
In eastern schools the most popular student trunis is that composed by the students themselves. "There is no reason why K, U, should not have student songs of this type. The words of the K, U, songs are good," said Mr. Wattles, "but the music should also be a Hill product."
Alumni have for years been honing for music of this sort. Various songs composed by K. U. people have been recorded and meetings but not lasting value.
RIVIVE CARRUTH'S SONG
One of the most popular songs on the Hill several years ago was Professor Carruth's "Neither Prince nor Peasant," set to German music. The alumni think this should be brought into use again.
"As for K. U. s'yell," Mr. Wattles said, "there is no need of change 'Rock Chalk' is one of the best college yells in the world."
PATTERSON LECTURES
Will Probably Tell Experiences at Battle of the Mauro
Prof. D. L. Patterson of the department of history, who has just returned from a summer's trip to the European battlefield, will deliver an address in Fraser chapel Thursday, Sept. 28, at four-thirty o'clock on some phase of his trip. This will allow the director of all of the addresses by faculty members that will be given at the University this year.
This scheme of faculty lectures was inaugurated late last year by Dean Olin Templin and the plan met with sufficient favor to warrant a new course. The Templin stated that the University each year spends a large sum of money to bring noted lecturers and public men here to address the students when there is much talent right on the Hill which the University owns, and that each own faculty members are as capable of delivering a good address as some of the men who are brought here, the Dean says. His plan does not mean that fewer lecturers will come to the University, but that the students will be afforded the double opportunity of receiving professors as well as the outside talent.
The faculty talk will be held on the third Thursday afternoon of each week. The faculty worked out yet and it is probable that only the speaker for the coming month will be chosen at a time. The program is in charge of Dean Tempel-
MAY DISCUSS THE MARINE Professor Patterson has not yet announced his subject, but it is believed probable that he will talk of the Battle of the Marine. He made a careful study of this battlefield.
Sends Daughter Here Because We Make Good
BE LIKES KANSAS—WHY?
Mrs. Ematez Brown, adviser of women, thinks a Kansas City father inadvertently "gave himself away" in an accident during the enroll- crush.
The Kansas City man brought his daughter to the University and came with her for a call upon Mrs. Brown. "Relatives wanted me to send my girl to one of two other universities," he said. "But I decided differently, I have found from meeting people that I know the best men, the most reliable, and the most successful men, and I want my daughter to come to K. U."

BUILT NEW ICE BOX FOR CHEMISTS DURING SUMMER
That the K. U. janitors are different from the common type, is being constantly and deeply impressed on the mind of the student. Most of them are self-taught, a round of duty, but David Reutz of the Chemistry Building does as much work as other janitors and still found time last summer to replace the rickety old box the chemical students used in their lab. It is fine new chest of his own making.
The new ice box is about four and a half feet long, three and a half feet wide and three feet deep. The box is large enough to which sells for ten or twelve dollars. The chest is lined with sine, there is a wide air space left between the inner and outer walls, and the base is fitted with a neat gray trimmed with brown.
