AGGIE-K. U. GAME OFF
Manager Hamilton Is Ordered to
Princeton University.

Lawrence, Kan. Nov. Wv. o.
Hamilton. athletic manager of the
University of Kansas, is up against a
proposition he doesn't know anything
about. He's. been that way before and
has cleared the hurdles but this time
William Omar cannot see the light.
Today, he received a wire from the war
department at Washington ordering
him to report att Princeton, NoveTn-
Der 10.
Hamilton has made no application
for war work and cannot understand
the Princeton call. He has wired the
war department that he is deep in
athletic work under the S. A. T., C.
at the University of Kansas and ask
ing for some definite information in
regard to the call to Princeton.
Manager Hamilton made the ain
nouncement tonight that the game
with the Aggies proposed for Monday
has been called off. The Aggie school
reopens Monday, but the s. A. II, c.
officials refused to declare a holiday
to allow the annual championship
game for the state of Kansas to be
played. There is possibility that, the
game will be played on a post-season
December date.
The Oklahoma game here a week
| from tomorrow will be pIayedSas a war
benefit game. All the receipts above
expenses will be given to the war work
fund. Manager Hamilton made this
! announcement tonight.

A GOLF LETTER FROM A NOVICE
TO HIS CAREFUL TUTOR

flee all about how .'it' ought to have
been done in forty when you know
you can only do forty-four once in a
while.
But in telling mellow to play this
game you introduced me to you have
never yet told me what good it does
to throw your club madly in the air
every time you make a dub shot
and only hit it couple Of
hundred yards I just can't under
INTO the game, but it does seem as tho
it must do some good, for every time
you do that I have seen that you hit
the ball a lot harder the next time
you try it.
one other funny thing I have
noticed about the effect ii this golf
game on you and then 1 will bring
this letter to a close, for l know you
will appreciate to the full all have
asked of you, and most sure you will
like the interest l am taking in the
new game what you taught me and
will be glad to give me more pointers
when L need 'em worst.
AS I was saying, this other funny
thing is this: sitting around and drop
ping in to see you every day cause
1 know you always like to6look at my
cheerful grin and fill me full of that
there twisted sarcasm of yours, I have
noticed that you are always singing
"a game a day keeps the flu away.
and since you have not yet had the
flu but are afraid you might get it
and have had flu sign put on your Of
flee door to help keep the flu out have
that slogan as an excuse for playing

partners equipment if that can be

while 1 don't know how long you have

Now, devastating one. 1 am almost

like to know how l took and under

The Enemy Is Watching


The supreme moments of our struggle with
Germany have now come.
We have carried our first armies across three
thousand miles Of ocean and joined the issue
of battle with the military power of nation
that has been for forty years preparing its
plans and its weapons for its present attempt
to dominate the world. We have had to put
forth an immense effort and spend fabulous

first sign that we are faltering.

carry with them the terror of furious attack.
Our dollars must rain upon the enemy as over

sum in order to make, in so short time, an
adequate beginning for our gigantic task.
But it is only our beginning We must follow
it with greater energy and support it with
increasing power. Men, munitions, ships and
supplies must go to Europe in larger and larger
stream. We must redouble our blows and add
constantly to the strength of those blows, if
our initial effort is not to be wasted.
