UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
VOLUME XIII.
MANY ATTEND SMOKER Biggest Crowd In K. U. History Gathers to Honor Football Men
NUMBER 62.
Confidence in the team, captain,
and coach was the keynote of all the
speeches at the football smoker held
last night in F. A. U. Hall. A much
larger crowd than was expected turned
out, and even more. It was the biggest
football smoker in the history of the
University.
"I think we can now realize what unity and pulling together means for this University," said the Chancellor. "This year the student body has been given a challenge, so knows how to organize a foottball machine that works, the faculty has done its best to give a square deal concerning eligibility rules. And we are just getting started. We will continue to be stronger in the next year or two."
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 9. 1915
The hall was packed for half an hour before the program began and the atmosphere was thick with smoke. The Glee Club started the program with the "Crimson and the Blue." They responded to two calls for more and stopped only when Joe Gaitskill announced the Chancellor.
Tony James, retired captain, made a farewell speech: "Fellows, I stood up here last year and told you we would fight for Kansas," he said. "We didn't win all our games, but we have a system that will, if you will, beat me." He backs me. I only regret that I haven't another year under Olecet.
“A More Chant of Venice,” a farce
from the Alpha True – dramatic
fraternity.
Lindsey, captain-elect, in his prophecy for next year said: "All I've got to say is, watch it out for the team. If the fellows work next year like they have this year we'll put across a winner."
"The rooting is what helped the team most this year," announced the coach when the cheering at his appearance died down, "and it takes a team to win, and we team is fighting on its three-yard line. The reason we lost the Nebraska game? Everybody saw him gallop down the field. The Oklahoma game was different, but not the ability to jump from side to side. Next year we will play a big game the first shot and I have a hunch that we will win it." The coach urged the students to high school athletes in the University.
Murphy and Flynn, of Kansas City staged a scrappy three-round exhibition
Uncle Jimmy Green was kept at home on account of the sickness of his wife, and Coach Hamilton presented letters.
Before handing them out he apologized for his changed appearance in this manner: "I got my gray hairs worrying over the eligibility this year, but the Chancellor gave us a square coat to have him look as had to hunt for an alibi, and I want to congratulate each player on his faithful work for K. U."

ENGINEERS MIX TONIGHT BRINGS GOOD MEN OUT
Aesthetic and Gastronomi Feast Promised; Freshmen Urged to Come
Twice a year the rough, boys from Walkerville lay aside the transit, slipstick, and T-square and turn their attentions to joy unconfined. The crowning event is Engineers' Day in the spring but that is far from their thoughts at present. The Engineers' Smoker has always been the biggest pair of its kind during the school year and this year will be no exception.
Will Give a Two-Bit Dance
Tonight these flannel-shirted warriors will gather at eagles' Hall for the biggest smoker they have ever staged. There they will meet their brother Marvinites, laugh, smoke, and sing in the old time way.
They say there must be no quizzes on Friday because it takes some time to recover from so much condensed celebration. Any professor with half a heart would not stage one on that day anyway, say Engineers. It is the first time that the freshmen meet the upperclassmen. It is largely for them that they can see any freshman who fails to appear is missing the greatest treat of the year.
A two-bit dance will be given by the Men's Student Council sometime after Christmas. If it is well attended and the students show enthusiasm convince the Council that they like to dance and dance others of this nature will be given during the year. The reason that two-bit dances are a success in some colleges are that there are no other dances. The Variety of dances at these colleges poorly attended that it is necessary to charge seventy-five cents in order to make expenses.
The famous Engineers' pep is brewed on this occasion and everyone is sensed with it. The gentle strains of Clementine and the Ramble Song come floating out of the fog of smoke in the aromatic jars the plaster from the walls.
But the best is yet to come: cider, doughnuts and apples followed by straining belts and that contended with an indulgence in smokes, music by the band and Glee Club and your dollar's worth is complete for only two bits. True Engineers will be identified on Thursday in a room of the pale green tag on their coats.
The money comes from the Bryan prize essay fund of $250, given to the University in 1898, the interest of which is used as an award on competitions every alternate year. Because it has not been sufficiently large to afford an entire prize prize has been offered for three years, and the interest has accumulated.
A prize of forty-five dollars is offered to the students of the University writing the best essay of from 3,000 letters on "The Cost of Preparedness."
Essays must be handed in not later than May 1, 1916. Prof. F. H. Hodder is chairman of the College committee having the matter in charge.
$45 PRIZE OFFERED
PREPAREDNESS ESSAY
Class Football May Develop New Material for the Varsity, Coach Says
"There is a man, playing on one of the class football teams, who in my opinion, runs with the ball more like Chamberlain of Nebraska than any other man that I have spoken last evening at the football smoker by Head Coach "Beau" Olcott, who is at the head of all the class football teams.
"This man is a wonder, but if he next fall I want to know the reason why." Coach Olcott would not say who the man is, but he wants as many students as possible to go down to McCook Field Friday after interclass games will be played and see if they can pick him out.
"I think the University should take as much interest in these games as they did in the games the Varsity played this fall," said Manager W. Young, who led the thought of the games. "I wish the freshmen and junior们 would sit on one side of the field Saturday and the sophomores and seniors on the other side if any rooting is done, it will sound better because of having union."
GLOOM IN SOPH CAMP
Gloom pervades the sombre moorhead's football field from the present outlook it does not seem as if the second year men would win from the freshmen Saturday. With V. H. Frank, the most promising fullback developed this year, H. J. Shelley, quarterback, who has shown up so well this year, and Alexander Bell, star halfback and the fastest man on the team, also proved a game with a broken nose, looks light for the men of Coach Heath.
Frank is very sick in the University Hospital with tonsillitis and will not play any more this season, nor will Bell or Shelley. The latter is out of case of "charley horse." One thing toain, they have a powerful line. Some of the men who are showing up in scrimmage are: Dick Carter, E. Burkholder, W. R. Smith, Lizzie Hull, Dewey Cooper, Ward Weltner, John Campbell, Charlie Hart, Roland Ruble, Harold Van Houten and an
CLOOM IN SOPH CAMP
The freshmen and seniors grimmaged each other last evening and neither could score a touchdown this makes the seniors favorites over the freshmen who scored against the third year men in scrimmage. The sophomores were due to muss up Fitzgerald's prowess and that was the reason they were out the fronds was called off.
SENIORS ARE FAVORITES
The seniors have three men who are showing up in their backfield as a basketball guard, George Smee and H. A. Lorenz. Scrubby Laslett is practically the whole freshmen team and if the freshman beat the sophomores Satellite (the first game), it he. He is a *whirlwind* of strength either on defense or offense.
Obart Hartshorn, junior in the school of pharmacy, of New Mexico, is ill at the University Hospital with laryngitis.
TAG MONEY ON ITS WAY
TO MAKE BELGIANS HAPPY
The money made by selling tags for the Belgian Christmas and Student Fund has been turned in at the registrar's office and is now on its way over the deep seas. The amount, $152, was divided, and $76 sent to John R. Mott, secretary of the World Student Christian Federation, while the rest will be used for the Belgium Christmas.
"At present," she said Miss Ann Gittens, Y. W. secretary, "the only means by which organized christian work is carried on among the student body of our school through the aid of the World Student Christian Federation. The men in the universities of Europe are now at war and all such organizations in the world have been called into it. It was for this purpose that the appeal for money was made to the different universities in this country; and the students of our schools have contributed to the compathy and money for the relief of their brother students in Europe.
