HARD GAME FOREGASTED
A hard game with little scoring is the prediction offered by the Kansas coaches for the K. U.-Normal game tomorrow afternoon. The Normals are coming prepared to win this one game while Olcott has his men pointed toward the Conference games which start next week.
This week has been a hard one for
Although the regulars have been making good showings in the practice this week as well as in last week's game, the coach expects to use as many men as possible. The first string men will be given a rest unless an unusually hard battle develops after the first quarter.

the regulars. Scrimmages with the Indians, mix-ups with the freshmen along with stiff signal practice has often men feel the result of overwork.
CAPTAIN TONY JAMES
Ready For Tricks
Open style mixed with straight football will characterize the Kansas method of attack against the Normals. The pass has been introduced to a small extent this week while the backfield has been coached particularly in plunging. The squad has received particular instruction in terms of the passes and trick plays with the Hargreaves' machine is expected to use.
"We will not play a very hard game tomorrow," said Coach Olcott this morning. "I hope to use second string men as much as possible and give some of the others a rest. I don't know what the Normals have stored up for us but the game will be close from all reports. We have a few men on the injured list now and others that we don't want to get injured so 'safety first' will be our attitude."
The line-up which Coach Ocellio announced to start the game will be: Reber, left end; James, left track* Groft, left guard; Keeling, center; Rubus, right tackle; Harn, right tackle; Rockie or Heath, rht end; Wood, quarter; Lindsey, right half; B. Gillespie, left half; Nielsen, fullback.
In the scrummage with the freshman squad yesterday afternoon the regulars went down the field on straight football and few passes for two touchdowns. The freshmen were given the ball and in ten downs were unable to gain control of their line hole holes in McCarty's line and downed the freshman backfield before they could get away.

TRAINING FOR FRESHMEN
OTHER THAN SPANKING
Paddling is not the only method of punishment that is used by upper-classmen to enforce the wearing of the freshman cap. At the Iowa Agricultural College the offering freshman is put through a process of physical punishment, and upper-classmen seize him by the feet and hands and throw him into the air preventing him from striking the ground by pulling in the four directions.
At the Colorado Agricultural College there is a body of water on the campus called the Lily Pond. The first year men that fail to appear on the camps with the little green cap are selected and bond by the ever watchful sophomores.
At the University of Washington the freshman is thrown in the lake at Stanford he is held in a bathht in encina until the "bubbles come."
A recent letter from Paul E. Haworth to his father, Prof. Erasmus Haworth, states that he has been sent back to the trenches. Young Haworth had been in a hospital in Cairo, Egypt for some time because of a bullet wound in the left wrist.
Oxford
An ocean voyage with all the excitement of the fear of German submarines and other sea perils is being by six men from Kansas this week.
The examinations for the Rhodes Scholarship were finished yesterday after two days of gruelling work, and the papers have been sent across the water to be graded by the Oxford authorities. Just what the results are will not be known until a short time before Christmas, for the Oxford professors will have many papers to grade.
EXAMS CROSSING ATLANTIC
Six men from various schools over the state took the examinations in Latin, Greek, arithmetic and algebra, Rex Miller and Glen Swogger were the two men from the University of Kansas who competed for the honors. Others who took examinations were: N. W. King of Wichita; E. S. Lehrmann and J. D. Wright of Emporia, and R. F. Whitehead of Topeka.

All of the men who pass in the examinations are eligible to appointment to the scholarship by a board of prominent men of the state headed by Chancellor Strong. The appointments will be made some time next summer. The Board is permitted to select three men who have years to this scholarship, which carries with it the sum of three hundred pounds sterling, nearly fifteen hundred dollars, every year for the three years that the scholarship is granted.

CO-OP URGED FOR KANSAS
Student Council Committee Is Investigating Data from Other Universities
Universities
Plans for a cooperative book store for students are being contemplated by the Student Council. Data from other universities is being collected prior to a definite consideration of the subject.
A book exchange was successful, managed by students of the University of Wisconsin last year. More than 2500 books were handled the first year, at an estimated saving of $300 to those who bought their books at the exchange. Students who had books to sell received more for them than they would from a second hand book store.
The Chemical Engineering Society which formerly has included only faculty members and chemical engineering students, has decided to admit students from the College who are majoring in chemistry also. It will now be called the Chemical Engineering Club and will meet each Wednesday afternoon at 4:30.
No profit was made on the sales, five per cent being deducted from the receipts to cover the running expenses. An extension of the scope of work as to include the sale drawing materials is consolidated this year.

Chemical Engineers Reorganize
The Second All-University Convocation held this morning was a decided success, from the standpoint of euthanasia shown on the part of those attending. Standing room was premium, every seat being occupied.
The keynote of the Chancellor's talk was self betterment by a continual striving toward the ideal. He said in part:
The American university is still undergoing a test in the eyes of the public. The university question is not by any means settled. Whether or not our present methods will survive will depend upon whether or not they are proven to achieve a sound intellectual and moral development of the student; an all-round development, in other words. Therefore, I appeal to you students. I appeal to you to help us in striving towards the attainment of the finer and better things of life.
"The secret of the success of the German university is to be found in its systematic intellectual discipline," the Chancellor declared. "The American university has not yet reached a point where it is sound, broad, or deep enough. I hope, however, that K. U. will be the first school to achieve this."
"Our progress in this direction will hinge upon the integrity of the institution, and our unity of spirit. We have started off splendidly this year, Athletic spirit is better than it has ever been before. Even at this early date a fine unity of spirit is manifesting itself in the various branches of college activity. Now we must preserve a proper equilibrium. We must not over-emphasize one branch at the expense of another. Let us pull together both in the classroom and on the football field."
Dr. Strong went on to say that the chief object of the monthly convocations was to develop unity of spirit. The meetings are to serve as "get together" times, in which the entire community is involved in the Convocation opened with religious exercises and closed with the Alma Mater and Rock Chalk.
Need a Thundering Two Thousand
Following the opening hymns and Dr. Strong's address, Prof. W.'B. Downing sang a duet, "Calm as the Night." An encore was responded to. Professor Downing rendered a solo "The Gypsy." (Dudley Buck) which was also encorced. The musical part of the program concluded with a double quartet, "My Faith Looks Up to Thee," which was under the direction of Professor Downing.
Three musical numbers added greatly to the completeness of the body.
The "Crimson and the Blue" followed by a roousing Rock Chalk, completed the morning's program.
At Northwestern, the president of the school has ordered men and women to sit in separate sections at football games. At K. U. we don't want to be ordered by the faculty, but just the same most students want separate rooting sections for men and women at football games.
Kansas Competes in Rifle Match
A report has been received from Jacksonville, Florida, where the National Rifle Match is going on, that Sergeant Mervil Dunn of Company N.A. is making one excellent score. Good records were being made by him at each trial, but his best record was 73 hits out of a possible 75 at a distance of three hundred yards.
Kansan Competes in Rifle Match
It is up to us to see if we can govern ourselves in this respect.
Bring dates to the gate if necessary, but for the good of the rooting and the team, let's try to get a good yell section tomorrow.

COOPERATIVE BOOKSTORE
AT WISCONSIN A SUCCESS
A students cooperative book store, established last year at the University of Wisconsin, has developed to such a degree that business has been enlarged this year.
Information concerning the organization and actual working of the store is being considered by the Men's Student Council at the University.
The book exchange at Wisconsin was established by the student conference last year and has proved so successful that the plan now is to add drawing materials and typewriters to their stock.
The plan employed at Wisconsin is to deduct 5 per cent from each sale to cover the cost of maintaining the institution. This is the only profit.
The saving for students who have bought their books at the exchange is estimated at $300 over the cost of the new books. Better prices for second hand books were paid in the co-operative bookstore than were paid in the other bookstores.
Prof, Solomon Lefschetz of the department of mathematics in 'the School of Engineering is the author of two mathematic papers that are appearing in a number of Italian newspapers.
COMMITTEE WANTS TO KNOW
Hasn't Found Anything Yet, But Expects to Learn Something
Saturday
In its investigation of fraud in the recent class elections, the Student Council committee will scrutinize the junior lists carefully, according to Leland Thompson, chairman. The sophomore list has been lost, but those who profess knowledge of irregularity are invited to come before the committee at its meeting Saturday morning at 9 in 110 Fraser.
"So far the committee has found nothing," said Thompson this morning. "We expect to wind things up Saturday, however."
MECHANICALS HEAR ABOUT ENGINEES AND MOTORS
The K. U, branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers met last night at the home of Prof. A. H. Sluss, of the School of Engineering. B. O. Bower read a report on the Diesel oil engines exhibited at the Panama-Pacific exposition.
S. E. Campbell reported on the latest developments in aeroplane motors and on a speed launch motor, which has attained a speed of 58.1 miles an hour. The engine drives a rear wheel producer gas plants, where sawdust is used for fuel.
A committee was appointed to select or compose engineering songs and yells and present them at the next meeting which will also take place at the home of Prof. A. H. Sluss next Thursday evening. The reason for this is that each society in the School of Engineering is supposed to make contributions of songs and yells for the general cause.
U. S. SHOULD INCREASE
ARMMENT-K. U. DEBATERS
That the army, navy and aerial forces of the United States should be greatly strengthened was the decision of the judges in the debate of the K. U. Debating Society last night in Fraser Hall. Ennis Whitehead and Warren Wattles argued for increased armament and Lyle Anderson and Herbert Howland defended the negative side of the question. The judges were: F. B. Ashen, Walter Havelkorst and Theodore Richter.
The following new men were voted in as members: W. A. Wilson, Ferdin-, and Stuew, F. B. Asher, K. A. Davis, Karle Brown, and Robert Holloway.
In the effort to get a large crowd to patronize the special train, to be run from Emporia to Lawrence for some time the State Normal Bulletin says:
"This opportunity to see the greatest football game on K. U.'s schedule is almost enough inducement in itself, but the extra drawing card is that Coach Hargiss and his men will accompany you."
Maybe it will be the biggest game on the schedule, but what about Ne

NORMALITES CRIPPLED Four Men Out of the Game, but Hargiss Predicts Real Football
Emporia, Kan., Oct. 1—Suffice practice in running signals and in scrimmage with the scrubus has been the daily program for the Normal here the past week in preparation for the K. U. game, Saturday. Out of the first team squad, there are four of the regular players suffering from injuries received in scrimmage or in the Bethany game last week. The most serious injury to any of the men was received by "Cloudy" Lockman in the Bethany game. He is suffering from serious internal injuries and not play the right end and his loss to the team will be hard to fill. Hirscher, one of the speedy halves, received a severe injury to his shoulder in practice this week, which will probably keep him out of the game. Welch, a substitute quarter, is out with a broken collar bone.
Fullback is Out
Probably the most severe loss to the normals is the injury to John Belting the star fullback. Coach Bill Hargiss said today that Belting would be unable to get into the K. U. game. He is suffering with an injured knee and has not been in scrimmage this week. The coach has been working hard to fill these players' places with other men and the team went through a most successful practice last night, since the season opened. Hargiss said that with the exception of these four men, the team was in fine shape and was going good. He did not predict either victory or defeat for the Normal, but said that his team had easily an even break to beat the Jayhawkers. "The loss of Belting will weaker our offence," the coach said, "but we expect to play Kansas as close a game and as hard a game as they could expect from a Missouri Valley school."
A Strong Line
With the exception of Lockman the heavy Teacher's line will be intact and Olcott's men will have to show more than straight football to gain consistently, Captain Fritz Hartwig is a wonderful ground gainer and a strong defensive player. Meurs, the veteran center, plays a steady game and will add to the strength on the defense. Monypenny, the other teammate, plays a good drop-kicker. Smith a new man is showing up well at guard in practice. The Normal's line will average 180 pounds to the man. The backfield is comparatively heavy and has shown lots of speed in recent practice.
Hargiss has drilled his men in both open style and straight football and the Teachers are prepared to put up a varied attack. Complex forward pass formations and numerous fake passes will probably be seen on McCook field Saturday. It is asserted that Hargiss has perfected his plays so that the team can turn any of the formations into forward passes, if the opportunity to shoot one presents itself.
Here's The Lineup
The Normal has made arrangements to send a big delegation of rooters to Lawrence and a special train may be engaged. Coach Hargiss announced yesterday that the following line-up would start the game: Nanniga, right end; Koontz, right guard; Captain Hartwig, right tackle; Meairs, center; Smith, left guard; Monypenny, left tackle; Shupe, left end; Culter, quarterback; Scharp, right half; Ladner, left half; Dewey, fullback. Substitutes: M. Hargiss, Hendrickson, McAdams, Hirscher, Stite, Betts, Laver, Rostetter, Rehm and Bowman.
LIVE SNAKES NOW IN
