tire plant will be about $51,000 and work on the excavation will begin immediately. The contractors expect to have the plant completed by the first of next August.
The work of construction will be under the direction of Sam Forter who graduated from the department of engineering in 1908. Since leaving school he has been engaged in engineering work in New Mexico but for the past year has been associated with James A. Green and Co., of Chicago.
Forter will be remembered by a number of the old students as the man who kicked his way into football glory. Sam always had an educated toe and in many a contest his foot was a potent factor in the victory for the Jayhawkers. When the Thanks-

ORGANIZE RIFLE SQUAD
K. N. G. Club Will Compete
With Thirty Companies.
SELECTED 13 TRYOUTS
With Thirty Companies.
A College rifle squad, made up of members of Provisional Company A, Kansas National guards, was organized last night. This squad is to be similar to rifle teams organized under the supervision of the United States War department in some thirty universities and agricultural colleges throughout the United States. An annual contest in marksmanship is to be held between these squads, the team making the best score winning a trophy cup, which is now held by the Massachusetts Agricultural college. A medal is given to the best individual marksman in each squad. Regular practice is held by all squads during the winter. In April, 1912, official contests are to be held, scores forwarded to the War Department, and the cup awarded. The officers of the new organization are: Pres., Corporal Theodore Utterback; Vice-Pres., Corporal F. E. Moody; Sec'y-treasurer, E. L. Bennett; Captain, H. E. Steele.
German Dramatic Club Chooses Members For Its Cast.

Glee Club and Quartet Will Sing —Band on Platform—Holiday After Chapel.
A final meeting of the students will be held in chapel tomorrow morning at 10:15 to help send the rooters off to Columbia soused with the old Kansas fighting spirit. The number of students who are to represent the University of Kansas in the Rollin's Field bleachers Saturday at Columbia is not as large as was hoped for, but those who are going, are going for the purpose of velling the good old "Rock Chalk" with as much vim as if the entire University were there. Speakers have been obtained for tomorrow. Prof. Thorpe of the journalism department being one of them, the band will be present, the Glee Club and quartet will sing and the only essential remaining for a successful meeting will be a full house out in front.
A holiday has been declared for the remainder of the morning by the Chancellor. Following the speeches, yells and songs by both

WANT 500SCRAPPERS
Manager Hamilton Expects That Many Rooters to go to Tiger's Camp.
When the Jayhawkers line up against the Tigers on Rollins field Saturday, they will be greeted with the great battle cry "Rock Chalk Jay Hawk K. U.," yelled across the field by the "Fighting 500. After the Cornhuskers so successfully trampled on us last Saturday the old time "Kansas Spirit," which has never failed, seemed to have been smothered. Throughout the week the rooters have been doubtful over the trip to Columbia to help tie another knot in the Tiger's tail. It now appears that the "Kansas Spirit" is to again triumph over the honored enemies in Columbia.
enles in Columbia.
The sale of seats in the Kansas section has been light all week but this morning there was an increased demand for these choice seats which are on the 50-yard line, and Manager Hamilton is pleased with the showing. When he returned from Columbia a few days ago he said, "if we expect to beat Missouri we will have to have 500 rooters to cheer the team. Missouri is making extensive preparations for the game, and the "Fighting 500" will be forced to combat with the entire student body of the University of Missouri."
With "Rock Chalk," "O me O my," and other famous yells Kansas will be ably supported provided every member of the "Fighting 500" is in his place. Ever since the Jayhawkers and the Tigers have played football the Missourians have made the long, hard trip to Kansas City and they have never failed to make a strong showing. It is up to the Kansans to make the trip once and show Missouri what the "Kansas Spirit" is.
THREE BALL SHOPS BUSY
Students Well Supplied With Cash Start Business
Owing to the great strain upon the pawnshops of Lawrence which have been busy loaning money to students to go to Columbia Saturday, three members of one of the fraternities in the University have placed the customary "3-ball sign" over the doors of their rooms. These young men, having a larger allowance than their brothers found with the approach of the Tiger game that they were to be called upon to loan their surplus cash. The prosperity of the "3-ball" merchants and the efficiency of their method led to the adoption of the system.
PREPARING TO FIGHT TIGERS
MEN STUDY NOTHING BUT POOTBALL.

Moberly, Mo., Nov. 23.—The Jayhawkers have been having a dilariation times here this week. The men have worked hard, had a god time and now say that they are ready to give the Tigers the hardest beating they ever had at the hands of Kansas. The Missouri atmosphere evidently agrees with the snappy Jayhawkers for Sherwin's men are showing an

over amount of "pep." Each afternoon the fighting men from Kansas tear up the sod of Moberly's baseball lot where the practices are held. The Kansas mentors--Sherwin, Mosse, Milton, Bond and Smith are having their hands full in keeping the men from over exerting themselves.
The daily program of the Kansans is an ideal one—the kind that would tend to produce spirit. At 6:45 o'clock the snoozing men of Kansas are rudely awakened and dragged out of bed. They are given fifteen minutes to dress and then are led by Sherwin for a pre-breakfast walk. The men come back to the hotel with gnawing appetites and until 8:30 o'clock they are busy in the dining room. After a little more
