THE UNIVERSITY KANSAN.
VOLUME VII
MANY ATHLETES RESPOND TO CALL
OUTLOOK FOR TRACK AND
BASKET-BALL IS GOOD.
NUMBER 9
The prospects for the track team are equally as promising. Only five of last year's "K' men will not be back. They are: Haddock, Winter, Badger, Wenger and Martindell. The old men who have reported to Coach Hamilton are: French, high jumper; Captain Hamilton and Roberts, sprinters; Fisher and Kraus, distance; G. Smith and Rice, relay; Wilson, broad jump; Davis, hurdles; Ammons and Thompson, weights. Besides these men the two Woodbury boys, Gribble and Schwab of last year's freshman team are expected to develop into good material.
Thirty-five Men Are Out for Former and Twenty for the Latter.
All of last year's basket-ball team will be back this year except Woodward and Martindell. And besides the old men there will be a large bunch of freshmen. The men on last year's varsity who are back are: Captain Heizer, J. Smith and Mallels, centers; Johnson, V. Long and Watson, forwards, and Larson and F. Long, guards.
Track and basket-ball are now demanding the attention of the athletes of the University. Coach W. O. Hamilton issued the first call for men last Tuesday and from the number that responded the prospects for this year are above par.
In addition to having interclass meets this year Coach Hamilton has adopted a new plan of cross country work for long distance runners.

BANDS MADE A HIT.
Receive Great Ovation in the P
O. P. Parade.
The University Concert band and the Lawrence Military band went to Kansas City Tuesday evening to play in the P. O. P. parade. From the beginning to the end of the parade the bands received a continuous ovation from the people of Kansas City. They were greeted on all sides with "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K U!" and demands for "Boola" and the Crimson and the Blue, and proved the most popular musical attraction in the line of march. The band held the first position of honor in the parade, leading the American Eagle float.
Medics vs. Politics.
The freshmen medics this morning elected class officers for the coming year. John Johnson was chosen temporary chairman and motions for nominations were declared in order. Some one nominated a member of the class and the motion was seconded. Another asked that the nominations be closed. Another member rose to his feet and objected violently to what he called "railroading the thing through," and moved that the class adjourn. The motion was seconded, put to a vote and carried, and the class was adjourned.
Vesper Chorus to Rehearse.
The Vesper chorus will hold it first rehearsal at 11:30 Saturday afternoon in Fraser hall. Professor Hubach wishes more voices for the chorus and urges other singers to report at that time.

Urges Chapel Attendance.

The Chancellor thinks that the fraternities of the University do not support the chapel exercises as they should and therefore requests them to attend the daily assembly in place of loitering in the halls and on the outside of the buildings.
There is considerable complaint heard about the street car schedule in the early morning, from students and instructors depending on the line. As it is now, they must catch an early car or take one which, by making several aggravating waits at switches, arrives on the campus five minutes after the opening of class.

Polls Will Open at 8 O'Clock and Close at 3—All Is Ready.

The new system of balloting will allow more independent voting than ever before and it is evident that there will be much scratching on all the tickets.

The seniors and juniors will vote at the old cheek stand, the sophomores will find their boottes at Green Hall and the freshmen in the Natural History Museum. All the judges of election are to be at the polling places at 7:45 o'clock.

W. Miller for the freshmen.

Short Winter Courses Expected to Increase Enrollment.
Manhattan, Kan.-The enrollment at the Kansas State Agricultural College for the fall term is 1,700. A large percentage of the students come from farms, and the fall work keeps them home until the opening of the winter term. The short courses in farming and dairying help to increase the attendance in the winter term. Last year 240 students were enrolled in these courses.
The students enrolled for this term are in the following divisions: Home economics, 560; agriculture, 375; mechanics' arts, 300; general science, 131; subfreshmen, 310; industrial journalism, 20 and a large number of special and graduate students.

He will talk on intercollegiate athletic activities and the eligibility of the men participating therein. The University concert band will open the program for the evening at 7 o'clock.
Needs Students' Support.
It is important that all students provide themselves with Student Enterprise tickets soon. The sale of the tickets up to this time has not been as active as usual, and unless the students respond, the plan of the University to give them an opportunity to see all of the games and other entertainments at a nominal price, will not have proven successful.
Junior Laws Elect.
The junior laws this morning, by a vote of 55 to 10, elected the following class officers; President, G.W. Miller; vice president, Fred Newcomb; secretary, Cady Daniels; treasurer, Robert Campbell. In distinct contrast to former law elections, today's was quiet and quickly disposed of.

2 BREAK TRAINING; SUITS CALLED IN
Student Enterprise Books $3.00
AND SATURDAY JAYHAWKS
WILL MEE ST. MARY'S.
Serious demoralization prevailing in the Jayhawker squad came to light today when it became known that two members of the squad were asked by the coaches last night after practice to turn in their suits. The men are Heil, the speedy quarterback, and Rambo, who has been trying out for a place at end.
Secret Practice Began—Team Not in Best Form, but Expect Victory.
Both men are being disciplined for breaking training. Ranub went to see the Priests of Pallas parade at Kansas City and did return for a day, nor make any attempt to let the coaches know of his whereabouts. Heil was seen smoking by Coaches Kennedy and Mosse while they were visiting at the Sigma Chi house.
"Without a training table it is impossible for the coaches to keep track of what the men are doing," said Coach Mosse today. "It is up to the men themselves to justify the confidence and support which the students are giving them, and it is up to the organizations to which they belong, to help them keep training."
Following the practice last night, Coach Kennedy called the squad together and gave the men a little preachment on "Training." The coaches realize the necessity of bolstering up the sense of responsibility among the members of the team to keep in the best possible condition during the season.
Up to this time not a scrimmage practice has been called during the week because of the crippled condition of Lynch, H. Woodbury and Heil. All have been more or less out of the practices since the opening game of the season. Captain Johnson also is still having trouble with his wrenched knee. The work tonight will consist in signal practice and punting. Tomorrow there will probably be no change in the practice.
This afternoon and tomorrow will end the practice work for the week of the Jayhawker football squad. Since Tuesday evening all work has been done in secret and the players have been learning the new fake plays and formations which the coaches have evolved.
Although the eleven is not in the form which the coaches hoped to see it at this time, there seems to be no doubt but that the Jay-hawkers will win Saturday's game with St. Marys. All of the men expect to be called on to play a hard, fast game and to win by only a small margin. St Marys is said to be in good form and to have practically all of last year's players back in school.
Judge West in Chapel.
