LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1911
MUNICIPAL JUDGE WARNS STUDENTS
THE POSTING OF BILLS
MUST STOP.
Trouble of Three Years Ago May Commence Again—Quotes Statute For Offenders
Any students who are using the trees and telephone poles on the streets of Lawrence for posting advertisements of University parties, are violating Sec. 27, Art 3, of Ordinance XVIII of the Lawrence city ordinances all will be prosecuted if they do no stop their unlawful practices.
Harleigh Benson, police judge of Lawrence, is authority for the above declaration. Mr. Benson says that his attention has been called to the ordinance in question and complaints about the violation of the plain wording of the law, especially by those who post advertisements of University parties, have been made by taxpayers in the city. It becomes his sworn duty, therefore, to see that said violations are prosecuted.
The judge desires that the guilty persons will follow the ordinance, now that their attention has been called to it, but if they do not do so, and further complaints are made, those who are guilty will be arrested, arranged and prosecuted in the Lawrence police court.
Sec. 29, Art. 3, Ordinance XVIII states that "any person violating Sec. 27 of this article shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be fined sum not less than one dollar more than ten dollars." would be advisable for those interested who want to conserve the resources of their pocke books, to stop, look and take heed of the warning from the stern arm of the law.
Y. W. C. A. Will Lead Co-eds on Cross-Country Walk.
GIRLS ON A "HIKE."
The girls of the University will attempt to emulate Edward Payson Weston Saturday morning. They are going for a cross-country walk. Every girl of the University is invited to go on the hike. The party will start from the steps of Spooner library at 9 o'clock and the route will lead down the road west of Marvin Hall. The return will probably be made by noon, but a number of the prospective walkers are planning to take along something substantial like fudge or cake. Miss Marjorie Templin, who knows Lawrence roads, will lead the party and promises not to choose paths that are obstructed by barb-wire fences. Some of the time will be spent in gathering the fall-colored bitter-sweet which is now abundant along the road sides.
The social committee of the Y. W, C. A, which has the event in charge thinks that the women students here needed more outdoor exercise, and if this first walk is successful will plan more of them during the good weather

WILL HELP RAILROADS
Regent's Offer Accepted by Gov Stubbs.
The Kansas Public Utilities commission will accept the offer of the services of the engineering department of the University of Kansas offered by Chancellor Frank Strong and the board of regents in the making of a physical valuation of the railroad and other corporation property of the state. The offer was made by letter Tuesday and members of the commission stated yesterday that they would be glad to accept.
"As a matter of fact," said J. T. White. "We had figured for months upon asking the University for assistance when the proper time came. When we were in Wisconsin and saw how the university engineering department co-operated with the commission in making the physical valuation, we decided that it would be a fine thing to do in Kansas."
Mr. White stated further that there is nothing that can be done by the University at present to assist in the making of the valuation. Later when it comes to checking up the information furnished by the railroads and secured by the experts employed by the commission the students and others at the University may be of great value.
"I don't know now," said Mr. White, "just what the engineering department and department of economies can do but we will certainly find something for them. We accept their services and will call upon them the first time they are needed."

RADICAL CHANGES IN VARSITY LINE-UP
AHRENS TAKEN FROM CEN
TER TO FULLBACK
Weidline Will Pass The Ball Stuewe is Out of The Game
Coach Sherwin's Jayhawkers are toiling hard this week getting ready for the game with Drake Saturday. Each night the me are put through practice, tackling the "dummy," punint catching the ball, signal practice and seriimage practice with the freshmen.
Word was received this afternoon that Stuewe, the big full back who was considered to be a factor in the conference games, has a fever and will probably not get into the game any more this season. Just how serious his illness is has not been ascertained but it is feared that he cannot recover in time to play effective, football. Last Saturday at Manhattan his fever ran as high as 103 and immediately after the game a physician accompanied him to his home in Alma.
In the workout last night the varsity showed more "pep" than has been displayed on McCao field this year. The backs seemed determined to "tear up" the freshmen team and had little trouble in scoring.
Several changes have been made in the varsity lineup this week. "Hank" Ahrens is being tried at fullback and Weidline is working at center in place of Ahrens. For a time last night Daniels, who has been worked at end, was used at halfback Sherwin is making an effort to get a heavy backfield and the changes he is making greatly increases the weight of the backs Bramwell has also been used some in the fullback position. V Wood has been changed from guard to tackle.
The team is getting the new formation in good shape and have little trouble in gaining ground, against the freshman team. Several new forward pass plays are being used with telling effect. In the practice last night most of the gains were made with this play. Brownlee and Magill are proving adepts in handling passes.
A special train will be run from Des Moines Saturday and it is expected that 200 rooters will accompany the team. The dope on the Iowa team is meagre and it is hard to tell just how strong the team is but it is certain that the game will be a hard fight from start to finish

LIFE PASS TO 'K' MEN.
Aluminum Cards Given to Former Athletes.
Manager Hamilton has a scheme whereby he will give each “K” man a life-long pass to all games held in Lawrence. It has always been the custom to admit “K” men free of charge, but confusion sometimes occurs at the gates because the men are no known to the gatemen. Mr Hamilton plans to give each holder of a “K” an aluminum card bearing the name of the individual, the character of the sport in which the “K” was earned and the year in which the letter was earned. The card shall admit the bearer to all games.
