Tho Tennesseo game, which was
scheduled to bo played Thanksgiving
Day, on Stoll Field, has been canceled. When Interviewed concerning
it, Professor Freeman, chairman of
tho Athletic Committee, said: "We
aro casting about north, south, east
and west for a good game to be played
Thanksgiving on Stoll Field instead of
tho canceled Tennessee game."
"Tho letter from Tennessee cancelling the Thanksgiving game, does not

President Wilson In their step and intend to lay as much emphasis upon
home athletics as poslble after cancelling all outside games.
"There are many good games we
could schedule for this day, but we
prefer to play at home, even if it must
be against an inferior team. We promise the students a contest worthy of
their attendance, however."

Senior class last Friday afternoon.
Heretofore there have been bitter contests, with complicated politics.
This typical senior, of the mustache
and the cane, is an orator bred. When

MEN PARTY GREAT SUCCESS

With 350 men as privates, and 50
men enrolled In
third and fourth-yea- r
the Reserve Officers' Training Corp,
the battalion of the University is beginning a most favorable year.
Each man is entering his two years
of military life with greater vim and
interest than ever before in view of
the critical times. The morning company, E, composed of aspiring athletes, portends to be the banner company with its ranks of physically fit
men. The four afternoon companies,
now captained by Goosman, Richards,
Sherwood and Shouse, have already
mastered the foot movements and by
the end of the week will have thoroly
learned the squad movements.
Captain Ellis,
has received no word as to the exact
arrival of Mayor Samuel A. Smoke
who will make all appointments upon
arrival. "Big" Smoke, as he was
known at the University of Missouri,
where he spent several years as commandant, according to reports, is truly
a big man in every respect.
The compulsory attendance of the
battalion in chapel on Tuesday morning will be required this year as it
being punwas last,
ishable by squad drill.
The following men have enlisted In
the Reserve Officers' Training Corp:
