FOOTBALL
One night several weeks ago, some women roaming on Tennessee street were frightened when a face appeared at a window. The face was that of a "mean looking man," a brave woman with a bravely able revolver and insisted that she keep it as a protection against future scares. The revolver is doing excellent work, emptied its loads, wrapped in a blanket, and laid away in the bottom drawer of a dresser in the bedroom. Then girls as they can place it. Just a gun being in the house, makes them feel secure.

A certain sophomore girl, who has a habit of keeping her pockets filled with a miscellaneous collection of articles, while in a certain class, accidentally shoved out a chair and stepped on the back in unwinding and rolling across the chair legs on its way. Class was suspended while half a dozen students hastened to assist in regaining the tangled thread. The girl vows vengeance on the one person she says was the cause of the joke.
In order to get in fairly good shape before the holidays many of the regular track man have been working out every afternoon on theObtaining body fat, a big vacation would not be time for the runners to get conditioned and several of the distance men are making use of every available afternoon before that
Prof. C, F. Nelson will address the Chemical Club on "Enzymes and Enzyme Action" at the meeting Wednesday afternoon at 4:30.
And now the call comes for more sprinters for the Varsity team. The bounds are put down each afternoon and the teams are taking advantage of the opportunity offered them. The lack of sprinters and hurdlers proved to be a weak point on the squad last year and the teams had to remedy this as soon as possible.
"There are lots of sprinters and hurdlers as well as distance men in school," said Coach Patterson yesterday evening. "Every man who has any notion that he can run should be out getting in shape now for the tryouts that will be held before each meet.
There is a great opportunity for some new men to make the track team this year and they would take advantage of it if they only realized the situation. A look at the schedule, which is by no means complete, will give you one idea of those ones that the season will be a heavy one and many trins will be taken."
Although no indoor Conference meets have been scheduled until the last week in February there will probably be several meetings before that time. At the present time Manager Hamilton is trying to get meets with William Jewell and the Emporia Normals. It is possible that three or four Kansas Colleges will be willing to meet, but the men meets will be held as early as the last week of January if the men can get in shape by that time.
The basketball floor of the gymnasium has been reserved between four and six o'clock for the exclusive use of the track team. Coaches Hamilton and Patterson are on hand each afternoon to give instruction to all teams and will be glad to see a large number of new men out for places.
NEBRASKA STUDENT IS
FAMOUS PLAYWRIGHT
That student playwrights afterward make good in the theatrical world, has been demonstrated by the career of Frederick Ballard, a graduate of the University of Nebraska, and author of "Young America," a play now being presented under the Coban and Harris management at New York City, Mr. Ballard, who is a personl friend of Prof. Howard T. Hill, was a student at Nebraska several years ago, and while at Lincoln won a place for himself as a dramatic writer. After leaving Nebraska, he attended Harvard for a year, where heook speculated that he would be Nebraska, Mr. Ballard studied under Prof. M. M. Fogg, of the department of English, and Miss Alice Howell, coach of dramas. As a special concession to the present senior class at his Alma Mater, he is going to allow them to produce as their Senior Play his own screenplay to charge them only $100 for the prilige; a price which is far below the ordinary royalty.
Mr. Ballard's play, "Young America," is making a decided hit in New York, seats being sold out across the country. Jason Nathan, dramatic critic on The Smart Set and Puck has called "Young America" the "most refreshing of the seasons" to munk with Tom Seaman, Huckleberry Finn and Penrod.
University Band will give its annual fall concert Wednesday evening, December 15 in Fraser Hall beginning at 8:15. A very heavy and most splendid concert program has been arranged. Watch Kansan for complete program later. Student ticket admits.

A.s will cooperate this year in the work of teaching English among the students at the University. The city Y. M. C. A. has already started classes but the. work of the University organization has been set back six weeks by the leaving of C. Y. M. Secretary, for foreign fields.
Send the Daily Kansan home.
Hugo Wedell, the new Y. M. secretary, expects to have several new men teaching classes and to have the work more completely organized.
Last year the work was first start- at the University by men in the School of Engineering under charge of Dean Warren Mankins in but order that the future engineers might become familiar with this class of laboring men.
NO RECRUITING SYSTEM
K. U. Depends on Alumni to Enroll Good High School Athletes
"We have no recruiting system to enroll prospective football stars at the University of Kansas nor have we any "slush" money fund for that purpose," said Manager Hamilton this morning, when asked what was being done at the University to induce students of exceptional athletic ability to attend K. U. "We do rely on our alumni to talk 'K. U.' to any Kansas high school athlete of fame and good judgment in selecting a school in which he expects to complete his education.
"High school athletes often choose the smaller colleges of the state for there they are eligible to participate in athletics their freshman year. This is the chief argument used by coaches of the smaller colleges.
"Athletics at the University of Kansas are on a sound financial basis and if we produce a man good enough to go to the Olympic meet he will be sent. K. U. has many advantages to offer young men of athletic prowess but it has no hired scouts touring the state."
Find Plenty Of Work
Never before has there been such a demand for engineers and geologists throughout the country. The oil fields of Oklahoma and Texas are undergraduates and several K. U. men have already accepted places.
William Foster will go to Texas as the chief of a party the first of the year. Tred Cum will leave school at the end of the first semester to take a position as instrument man with the Wichita Natural Gas Company at Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Several Engineers are working in and around Lawrence. Dean Ackers, G.C. Harding and George Coxen from Kansas are working in the new bridge over the Kaw. Several other Engineers have been attending to minor details on the interurban line that is now entering Lawrence. Hugh Crawford has for some time been helping the Lawrence city engineer
