MAY PLAY ONE GAME
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 2, 1915.
Juniors and Seniors Do Not Have Enough Men Out to Make a Team
If the freshmen and sophomores continue to come out for practice like they have the last few nights and the juniors and seniors fail to show up, there will only be one inter-class football game this year. The freshmen had thirty-two and the sophomores thirty in suites yesterday, while the juniors and seniors did not have enough out to make a complete team.
Freshmen Working Poorly
Freshmen Working Poorly
The freshmen were divided into teams and scrimmaged for a while last week, but then put through some of the fundamentals of kicking and passing. "The freshman do not look as good as they have in former years," said Coach Fritz Meyn last evening, "they are green and it seems as if they can not get the plays in their head. They will work with each other over the rest of the week and maybe by the first game they will be better."
"We are giving a clash talk tonight to the sophomore squad and hope to drill a few plays into them by the aid of the crayon and blackboard even when asked what his proteges were doing. "We have some good men out and with the nucleus of last year's champions we will win our games. "Youterday afternoon the year after, we look through some signals and stiff scrimmage.
Juniors Have Two Stars
The juniors have two men out who are old stars at the game and should with the aid of a few more players be able to work up a good team. The senior class will work on a team of the four and need about five more men before they can begin work in earnest. As they had only six men out last evening, from the present day, we would resort to conscription to hold up their laurels in the post-season combats.
NUMBER 57.
The K. U. Dames held their regular meeting yesterday at the home of Dr. M. Stiles 217 Kentucky. The first was held in May and refreshments were served, and refreshments were served,
JAPANESE STUDENT SELLS
WARES IN MYERS HALL
There is a large display of Japanese holiday goods for sale in Miss Gittens' office at Myers Hall. Choyei Kondo, a Japanese student at Madison, Wisconsin, is earning his way through school by sending his wares to the different colleges to be sold. He has made all of the profits for selling the goods. Last year Choyei Kondo came to the University himself to sell his goods and made a hundred dollars. This year he couldn't come, but sent sixty dollars worth of articles to be sold. He went to all of things from which to choose. Among the collection of articles on sale are: Japanese prints, calendars, Japanese cases, sacchet bags, boter pads, and pincushions.

MISS MULLEN DECLINES MANY BUY WHITE TAGS
Will Not Accompany Ford or Expedition Because of School and Parental Objections
Elanice Mullen, who was invited by Henry Ford, to accompany his party on its peace mission to the warring nations of Europe has declined because he wore this year and because of parental objections. Miss Mullen received a telegraph last evening from Mr. Ford, saying that he would be glad to have her accompany him as his guest and leave New York some time Saturday.
"I am heartily in sympathy with the idea," said Miss Mullen last evening, "but I don't believe I can accept, although I will think it over and do nothing to harassing." Mr. Eustace Brown telegraphed Mr. Ford this morning asking him if another representative should be named. No word has been received yet an account of the case probably; no one will be named.
Kenneth Pring, who was also invited by Mr. Fowl, left yesterday morning for New York. Pringle will tail on the peace prize Oscar II some Saturday with other other presidents of Mr. Ford's peace jersey.
Prof. Dunlan Lectures

Fifty Y. W. C. A. Women Gathe Funds to Send to Europe's Unfortunates
The tags for the Belgian Christmas Fund and Students' Fund are flying from the button-holes of dozens of students, and dimes, quarters, and even dollars are filling the boxes of the fifty or more Y. W. girls, who are attending school, where an amount turned in was seventy-six dollars. "However, we expect to reach the hundred mark today," said Miss Gittins, this morning, "because many who wished to buy, forgot their money or did not know about the sale."
It was not all smooth sailing, and in true salesman fashion, many of the women endured flat and even discounted refusals. Two of the tag-aways for the Medic Building were not received with a very warm welcome. One of the girls was offered "four-bits" if she would tie a tag on the toe of a "stiff". Very bravely she approached it, but the sight was too much, and even the stitch which money for a little hungry Belgian was not worth such a sacrifice.
PROFESSOR JONES WILL
TELL ABOUT WATER WHEEL
"Money is still coming in," said J. M. Johnson, chairman of the Senior Memorial Committee this morning, when asked concerning the memorial. No definite plans for the class gift will be made until all of the money is collected, then a fund which will all collect the fund will be built. Over a hundred dollars is now in the treasury.
Memorial Fund Grows
More than 100 stereopie views of the Peton water wheel will be shown at a combined meeting of the mechanical, civil and electrical engineers in Marvin Hall this evening. The Peton water wheel, which the impulse type is the most famous wheel, in commercial use today.
The views, which have been shipped to Lawrence direct from the Pelton company's mammoth plant at San Francisco, will show that as it takes form in the factory and does its work in the industrial field.
As the slides are thrown upon the screen, Prof. J., O. Jones will tell the story of the wheel, laying emphasis on its engineering features and its commercial significance. The lecture will begin at 7:30 o'clock.
FEW CARE FOR VACCINATION
Only Fifteen Take Preventive Treatment For Smallpox—All Should Do So
"Few students have taken advantage of the free vaccination offered at the University Hospital," said the doctor. "The majority of the students have at some time or other been vaccinated for small-pox, and the mild form of the disease now prevailing does not prevent their vaccination." Students have taken the small-pox vaccine.
Eighty-one have taken the tynphoid serum. Of these, forty-three have been girls and thirty-eight boys. "Although this number exceeds the porpoise population of the nurse," it is not nearly what it should be. Every student should take it, and it is economy to have it done at the hospital, for a saving of at least fifteen dollars is made. A private phytochemistry institute and three 'shots' are always given."
Inoculations are given on Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week, from four until five o'clock. Girls are given Tuesday and boys on Thursday.
Nelson Farley, a freshman in the School of Engineering last year, began his career by going to Amarillo, Texas, where he is taking up the automobile business.
PLAN A TWO BIT SMOKER
No Eats May Cut Price of Football Entertainment in Half
A "two-bit" football smoker with plenty of good smokes but no eats is being considered by the committee in charge of the annual affair in honor of the football team. When asked in regard to this morning one of the committee said, "For the past two years the price for this smoker has been fifty cents. The attendance has not been as large as it should be for this reason. The committee must state that seems to be that "eats" are not essential and if the price of the affair was lowered to twenty-five cents and just good entertainment and good smokes were provided the attendance would be representative. The men who have charge of the mix meet tonight and decide finally about this matter.
According to Manager Hamilton the six round go between the two amateur boxers which will be imported from the Kansas City Athletic Club for the occasion is an event that he attended. He has seen both Murphy and Flynn in action and says that they do not hesitate in "mixing."
In addition to the boxing match, Coach Beau Olcott will make a talk, Tony James will be on hand and will have something to tell the men present, the captain for the 1916 team will be chosen before Wednesday night and will be one of the players. There will be plenty of music and Fla Alpha Tau, the dramatic fraternity will have a stunt.
Uncle Jimmy Green as in previous years will award the Ks at the All-Star Game.
Chancellor Turns Ford Down
Chancellor James R. Day of Syracuse University has declined Henry Ford's invitation to select a student for the peace expedition in a letter to Mr. Ford's secretary the canceler stated that "the plan grouped and will accomplish nothing but the ridicule of your country."
These Freshmen Helped Make the 1915 Football Season a Success
With the close of the Varsity football season comes the order for the members of the regular first year squad to check in their suits. And it is a welcome order for most of the tyros. A strenuous season has been played by McCoffick, and games have been played off of McCook Field. Coach McCarty, with
Lefty Sproull assisting him, his taught his men collegiate football so that it will be a benefit to them next year.
Little is the reward these men get for the hard scrimmage they put up against Olettio's then. As for scoring a goal, they can win it even when but that is not what they are
there for. They fight every play the Varsity starts and with such a stubborn resistance as these men put up Captain James' squad has a hard time scoring. It is this resistance that causes the Valley games. In fact, it is safe to say that the success of a football season depends on the freshman squad.
But another sort of reward is offered the first year men instead of notorius and football honors. They get good preparation for next year's Varsity squad. Then they get two trips to foreign fields as guests of the captain, and freshmen were taken to Manhattan and to Columbia for the games there.
This is one of the treats which appears especially to the man who has been a baby.
Now that the season is over three or four of the tyros will start work on basketball while others will take up the instruction of their fellow-classmen for inter-class football. The men who made the regular freshman
squad are ineligible for the class game but they will assist in the coaching.
But the 1916 Varsity football aggrigation will profit by this year's freshman squad and some of the regulars will have to do some mighty hard work when these men get eligible for Valley competition.
