SCRIMMAGE WITH BRAVES
Olcott's Pupils to Meet Haskell in Practice Tomorrow Afternoon on McCook
The first scrimage of the 15 season with Bert Kennedy's Haskell Indians will take place at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon on McCook Field, according to an announcement this morning by Coach "Bach" Olcott.
Both teams are expected to derive great benefit from this practice. Although Haskell has the advantage of a week's start in training over the Varsity it's squad is by no means as strong as last year, and this as particularly true of the second string men. Consequently the Indians have had practically no opportunity to earn their first starting place in practice. With their opening game Saturday against the Kansas, Wesleyans of Salina, the Braves are buddy in need of the hard work out they will get from the K. U. Varsity.
Yesterday proved no day of rest for the Jayhawk gridiron squad. Leaving the Santa Fe station shortly after 2 o'clock Coach Olcott lead a squad of twenty-eight men for a fast three mile hike down the Wakarua Valley. So successful was the walk that the team finished, believing that it would be a regular Sunday afternoon feature the remainder of the season.
The first real scrimmage of the season was staged Saturday morning on the field north of McCook. Two teams were lined up, and both given a chance to penetrate the others defence. Only two plays were tried, a fake kick, and the forward pass. One player did not score, with some excellent passes and booted five successive goals from the twenty-five vard line.
Old men and new ones appear on McCook and with the instruction under Olecot which we are getting ready to see, our team cannot help feelings, enthused.
The report that Walter Wood, quarter, would not stay for the season was ended yesterday when Woody announced that he would stay all year. Although he did not intend to stay for the season when he first played with the bunch got the best of him and now he says that he cannot leave.
Coach McCarty's freshmen are getting in shape for a scrimmage with the regulars near the last of the week. Forty tyros have been out for practice and almost as many more will be next week. The coach will try to have a team that will show the Varsity some real football.
ANOTHER FOOTBALL STAR
MISSING AT PRACTICE
Milburn Stryker, last year's fullback, will not be back in school this semester. A letter was received from him Friday stating that he would not come to the University for work until the beginning of the second semester.
"Strike" worked all summer near his home in Fredonia, Kansas, on a drilling gang and has a good job that will last until the first of the year. He has therefore, decided to stick with the work until that time and then come for the last half of his sophomore work in mining engineering.
The big boy was a valuable man on the team last year and will be missed on this year's squad. He played in the games with William Jewell, College of Emporia, Drake, Oklahoma and Nebraska, but was out of the Missouri game on account of injuries to his shoulder.
Efforts are being made to get him to come back, but his last answer was a firm refusal. However, he expressed sincere regrets and may yet change his mind. All K. U. is honing.
Sport Pickups
The punting strength of the team was enhanced this morning when "Doc" Burch checked out a suit and declared his intention of making the Varsity. Burch made a great start, but the punting contest, and should prove a valuable assistant to Lindsay. He is particularly good at drop kicking.
Harold Delongy, captain of last year's championship baseball team, is spending a few days on the Hill. This morning "Dee" visited Manager Hamilton's office and got his K sweater for last year. He is one of the few men in recent years who have won three K's in baseball.
"Sleepy" Holt, the former Topeka high school star showed up well Saturday morning at half back. Holt skated above the average as a drop kicker.

TRACK MEN PREPARE
The Missouri Valley Cross Country meet will probably be held in Lawrence this year but the definite plans have not been made yet. Coach Hamilton expects to send a team to the Western Conference meet in Chicago if the men show up well enough for the tournament. The normal Turkey Day rage over the streets of Kansas City will be the closing event of the season.
This is the first year that cross country has been a separate sport at K. U. and a meeting will be held tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 on McCook Field for all men who expect to tryout for the new sport. Rodkey, star distance man on the regular track squad, was elected captain of the cross country team last fall and with Herriott, Grady, Stateler and others working with him a championship team is predicted.

After the banquet the 1915 "K" books were distributed to the students of the University by a walk around through the student district.
BEING A BIG SISTER IS NO CINCH—TRY IT AND SEE-
This sisterly aid is to continue during the year. The Big Sisters are going to take the younger members of their family to church, to Y. W. C. A. meetings, to chapel, conversation, and all other places where they work. And where upper classmen have long ceased to attend exorcate on rare occasions.
Freshman women at the University of Kansas are no longer the lonesome, homeschick children they used to be. The reason for this change is the fact that they have been adopted by their Big Sisters. Each freshman woman in the University has been provided with an addition to her family in the form of a senior, junior or sophomore. These upper classmans have an important task to perform. They are supposed to shed the light of their years of experience and learning on the dark paths of these yearlings. Already they have proven themselves to be of great assistance in registration and enrollment, pointing out to these innocent women the snap courses and easy professors.
The Big Sisters are to be an inspiration and help in spiritual, mental, and even physical living. Not only will the freshmen be developed thereby, but even the Big Sisters themselves will find that they have not a little to do in practicing the things they are expected to preach.
WANT KANSAS BUILDING
K. U. Women Insist----So the Board Will Undougtedly Come
Across
Much excitement has been created among the women of the University by the proposed plan to bring the Kansas building at the San Francisco exposition to the K. U. campus, where it would be used as women's dormitory, or else as a headquarters for all student activities. The plan as yet is in the embryo but the Board of Administration, which controls them, may take action on the matter if the project is practicable.
The Kansas Building at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition was erected at a cost of $1,500, and if sold for salvage, as is usually done with such buildings after the close of a world's fair, will bring little more than $1,500. Though the cost of transportation to Kansas would be immense, the venture might be made a profitable one, considering the fact that, if the building is torn down and sold for salvage, it will be almost a total loss to the state. The structure is a frame one, covered with stucco, and might be dismantled in sections, transported to Mount Ordend and again assembled and resurfaced.
The building is very large, colonial in style, with an immense reception hall on the ground floor. On the second floor are numerous smaller rooms, used at the Exposition by the Kansas representatives for offices. If the building were brought to the University, various student organizations could be assigned the rooms for headquarters. The reception hall below would be an ideal place for such university functions as class teas, receptions, and the entertainments given by the Dean of Women.
M. H. Heberling, who was formerly a student in the medical school, was on the Hill Wednesday.
