LINDSEY IS NEW CAPTAIN
Backfield Man to Lead 1916 Warriors—Statelder In Cross Country
Adrian F, Lindsey of Kingfisher, Oklahoma, was chosen captain of the 1916 Jayhawker football team at the annual banquet at the Eldridge House last night. Lindsey, will receive his first football "R" at the watcher night. His win this season for the season had last year until he was fired was of a superior quality and he received a large vote for leadership of the team.
In injuries in the first Conference game of the season last year kept Lindsey from finishing the year and winning his "K." But he was forced to play a race either side of his bad knee, Adrian was able to get into every game of the year. On the nominating ballot his teammates showed that he was the man for the place by giving him enough votes to win. The normal election may increase his lead.
The six cross country men who won honors for Kansas this year also enjoyed the big athletic banquet. Ernest S. Statater was elected chairman of the successful Fred Rockey. Statater has served his second year on the team and is one of the most consistent and dependable men running the distances for Kansas. He was a team leader, a coach this year and his choice as captain was unanimous.

With Exception of Juniors Classes Show Interest in Football
NUMBER 61.
GOOD PRACTICE YESTERDAY
Lack of practice is the cause attributed by Coach Oclett this afternoon for the postponement of the first interclass football game which was to have been played between the freshmen and juniors. On occasion, we will meet the juniors Saturday instead of the sophomores. The first game will start at 2 p. m. Saturday on McCook between the juniors and seniors, and immediately after their combat the tyros and sophomores will be the consolation game, which will end with the finals which will be played next Tuesday afternoon.
Last evening the freshmen held signal practice, the sophomores scrimmaged, the juniors prepared for the fourth year men, and the seniors were busy welding their 200 pound line into a football goal. Fitzgerald's men. The sophomores are relying on the Minnesota shift to beat the tyros Saturday. After the signal practice yesterday it was the prediction of Coach Meyn that the freshmen would give last year's fair fight when they meet Saturday.
SOPHOMORE TEAM WEAKENED?
Although Blondie Jones, president of the junior class has issued a call for men who will help hold up the laurels for Fitzgerald's proteges scarcely more than a full team was out yesterday afternoon...
The latest "bear" story is that the sophomore team has been weakened greatly through the loss of two of its best men. Its star fullback, V. H. Frank is in the University Hospital being treated for tonsillitis. Although there is an attack on his jaw, other positions the fullback men are very scarce. H. J. Shelley, quarterback, is out of the game on account of "charlehyorse."

It will not be necessary for the women to make a change of costume, but they can go directly to the field to practice. Shin guards, hockey sticks, colored tacks to distinguish the two teams will be furnished by the University.
COSTUMES ARE FURNISHED
"The women showed so much spirit and enthusiasm that I am convinced of the success of this game," said Dr. Alice Goetz, who will coach the teams. "So many upperclass women turned out to the meeting that I think we will be helped in reserving this game for juniors and seniors a while at least."
A dozen or more autograph photographs from the most prominent men in the United States in chemical research work have been received by the Chemistry Department of chemistry. They will be hung in the halls of the chemistry building.

ART EXHIBIT IS COMING
Twenty-five Kansas Paint ers Represented; Collection Small but Good
Kansas painters will be well represented at the Fourteenth Annual Art Exhibit to be held here in the latter part of February. For more information, "All the Kansas painters of any prominence whatever will be represented," said Prof. W. A. Griffith of the School of Fine Arts, who is managing the arrangement. There will probably be about twenty-five paintings by Kansans,
PAINTINGS COME FROM EAST
The remainder of the exhibit will be made up of twelve paintings of especial merit which will be brought here from the east. "Some of them belong to the National Gallery in London, and some to Griffith, 'and the collection, as a whole, represents the best in art. It has more of artistic value, than a larger collection, less carefully chosen, might have. This year we are going to bring the best timing to the number, but selecting a small group of great merit."
The exhibit is to be forwarded to Lawrence from the University of Missouri. In a letter to Professor Griffith, Mr. Pickard of the University of Missouri says, "The exhibit is an interesting one and it suits me better than an exhibit of from forty to fifty pictures."
"I could name the valuation of the pictures to be shown," said Professor Griffith, "with the exception of those paintings which come from the National Museum and on which no price is placed, but I dislike to do that. People get into the habit of judging pictures according to their money value and I don't like to see it." We should not subdue such requests to satisfy anyone who understands only the dollar method of art appreciation.
The paintings to be shown, with the exception of the Kansas collection.
COLLECTION IS VALUABLE

Professor Griffith will arrange the exhibit.

DANCE RULE AMENDED
Mrs. Eustace Brown Says Co-eds Cannot go Home After Midnight
Mrs. Eustache Brown's minority report which was submitted to the University Seattle yesterday afternoon stating that all dances must end at 12 o'clock was amended by Prof. F. H. Hodder to read that in the cases of the Junior Prom, Law Scrium, Sophomore Hop and one a half hour later, the dance could be held until two o'clock. All other dances must close at 12 o'clock as has been the custom heretofore on Saturday nights.
The reason for the change of the hours is that the street lights all over the city are turned off at 12:30, and everyone goes home after that time have to go in the dark. It has a bad effect on the University, according to Mrs. Brown, to have young women who come here to dance so late and then to home.
WOULD CHANGE SPELLING
In regard to the simplified spelling that was brought up yesterday afternoon the following resolution was passed by the University Senate, "Resolved, that the Senate of the University of Kansas recognizes that at present the spelling of English is irrational and confusing and English persons could agree upon such modifications as would eliminate the worst features without transforming it. As to proposals made for simplified spelling it is the opinion of the Senate that agreement is at least doubtful, and pending such an agreement, the Senate, though appalled by the failure to support to any of them, it would, however, approve the information of an international committee representing educational institutions and opinion of the English speaking countries, for the purpose of recommending such changes as this committee should have good reason to believe in right to elect these countries. (Signed) Carl Becker E. H. Honkking and E. Gallo.)
Whether the University Orchestra should be held to strict eligibility requirements, was discussed at the meeting of the Senate yesterday also, and it was found that it would be inexempt to relieve this organization with respect to requirements, and that the rules of eligibility be extended rather than restricted. The eligibility Committee also requests the Senate to take action on the following: That after the academic year September 1916, all class officers, regular and special, must be admitted to the mittees, shall be subject to the rule of eligibility governing University organizations.
ELGIBILITY DISCUSSED
TWO MORE FIGHTERS
Manager Hamilton Has Provided Quartet of Pugilists For Football Smoker
Tonight is the night, eight o'clock
the time, and F. A. U. Hall is
the place.
Everything is in readiness for the big annual football smoker. Tickets sold rapidly for the affair today and breaking crowd is anticipated.
Two additional boxers have been obtained by Manager W. O. Hamilton to help entertain the crowd. This makes four men who will put on the gloves. There will be two three round bouts and from all reports the boxing alone will be worth the price of admission.
"Tickets will be on sale at the door and so don't let the fact that you have failed to get a tag keep you away," said Chaucny Hunter, chairman of the committee. Forget those lessons for a couple of hours in the boxing ring, boxing, hear some good singing, and listen to some excellent talks."
Writes For Kansas' Heln
Evidence that not all the big considerations in life have been swallowed up by the war in Europe was contained in a letter written to Professor McKeever of the Extension Department by Mrs. L. Schleger of Moscow, Russia." She says that nothing of Child Welfare work has been done in Russia and the people need it badly. Pamphlets and circulations telling how Kansas handles this problem were mailed her in company with her requests for requests for aid in Child Welfare work have also come from France and from China within the past few weeks.
Miss Edith Snow, daughter of former Chancellor Snow, will lead a movement among the women of Law enforcement to sue the pean war sufferers after Christmas.
NO TRIP FOR THE SINGERS
Men's Glee Club Will Not Give Concerts Until After New
Year
"On account of the many things happening between now and the holidays the Men's Glee Club will not give a concert until after the holidays," said Paul Sautter, manager of the group. "We have been planned for every night from now until Christmas and to avoid a conflict with other events we will not appear, but after New Year's we will give our first concert and it will be more than usual because of the students, having to wait so long to hear us."
The Christmas vacation trip through the states of Kansas and Missouri during the holidays has been abandoned. It was the plan of the club to take its annual trip as in 1946, when it rented the abandonment of the tour will be the first time in several years that the club has not taken the trip.
ISSUE CALL TO WOMEN

Women's Athletic Association
Mass Meeting Thursday
7:15 p. m in Gymnasium.
Many of the women of the University who are enthusiastic over athletics, have dreamed of some kind of an organization which would promote an interest in athletic games for the fair sex. This dream will materialize tomorrow night when the women of the university will be discussed at the women's mass meeting in Robinson Gymnasium.
Over 200 women have signed the p'options to support this movement and it is thought that the time is rue for such aggriment. Dr. Alice Goetz is pleased with the women's attitude and enthusiasm. She urges all to attend a meeting tomorrow night, whether they have signed the petition or not.
The purpose of the organization will be to promote unity among the women of the University, to increase the activity in hockey, tennis, swimming contests, basketball and various other sports and to devise a system leading numbers and letters to those who are distinguished in athletics.
