The room where the voting will occur will not be known till Mnoday morning and there will be a note in the Daily Iowan of Tuesday morning containing the information. Y. W. C. A. MOVES TO FINE NEW QUARTERS Women's Christian Association is Next Door Neighbor to Drawing Room The Y.W.C.A. parlor is at last a reality. Yesterday members of the association donned their big aprons and proceeded to move into their new home just north of the liberal arts drawing room. For a while all was havoc, but finally, out of the dust and disorder, emerged a spick-and-span room, with rugs, pictures, library-table, davenport, rockers, and everything as "comfy" as possible. A telephone will be installed in the near future, which will be at the service of town people for employment purposes. Bernice Cole, secretary, will have her desk here instead of in the drawing room. Also all committee meetings and teas will be held in this room. Here may be found books and magazines of interest to girls, including late bulletins of war work for women. An excellent program is planned for the first meeting of the year, which will be at 4:30, Wednesday in the drawing room. Prof. Ellsworth Faris is to speak on "What Men Admire." Devotions will be in charge of Anne Hobbet. Virginia Carson will give some special music. Immediately preceding the meeting, tea will be served. Girls are urged to come at 4 o'clock in order to meet new girls, and incidently have a social cup together. All women of the University have a special invitation, the secretary states. Recreation facilities of the University of Illinois will be open on Sundays for S.A.T.C. men. Football fields, baseball diamonds, the golf course, the gymnasium, and the campus tennis courts will be used. Under this system, which breaks the long established precedent of the University, each individual member of the unit can find a place for wholesome exercise. Michigan's football team is doing hurry-up practice at night in the light of incandescent lamps. At first a searchlight was used but it was later replaced by electric bulbs and reflectors, which light up the gridiron so well that long forward passes can be tried. MASS MEETING IS TO LAUNCH UNITED WAR WORK DRIVE Women Will Start off $10,000 Campaign With a Rush----Lay Plans for Soliciting GOES TO BIG ORGANIZATIONS All Welfare Activities United To Put on Subscription Drive For Year's Work Plans for the great United War Work drive to be launched by the women of the University the week of Nov. 11-18 are well under way. Teams of solicitors numbering ten each and headed by captains will be appointed within a few days and will work through the sorority houses, freshman cottages, and Currier hall. Speakers, probably women members of the faculty, will visit these houses, explaining the work of the various war welfare organizations included in the campaign and the need to reach the goal of $10,000 set by the women. Mass Meeting Nov. 12 A general mass meeting is being planned for Nov. 12, the second day of the drive, and will be a big event of the week. A well known lecturer will be secured; if possible, someone who has had actual experience in war work either overseas or in this country. The campaign will be thorough in ever way. Lists of the names of the 1,000 women registered at the University will be obtained and a personal canvass made of each girl. Faculty members and employees of the University will also be asked to contribute. It is believed that there can be no excuse for a refusal to contribute to this cause. Young women should not mind a little self-denial to help the soldiers who are sacrificing everything to go to France and the trenches. All Organizations Worthy Each of the seven organizations (continued on page 4) CLASSES MEET ON HALF HOUR AGAIN University Officials Change Back to Old Schedule----No Economy in Last System Monday morning, classes in all colleges will go back to the half hour system again, beginning at eight-thirty, dismissing at nine-twenty and so forth in the morning, and beginning at one-thirty in the afternoon. To accommodate Commandant Robertson, the plan of beginning classes on the hour was tested last week. The commandant thought that, by this change, there would be enough light to drill at five o'clock in the afternoon. When the system was tried out, it proved unsatisfactory. So drill will now be changed to early morning and classes will begin on the half hour, just as it was before the other system was tested. Girls will now have an extra half hour of beauty sleep every morning and will be able to dance in the halls of L. A. a half hour later at noon. The Iowa City street car schedule also fits in with the half hour classes. The change will be permanent. "Untill 1950," says Dean Kay. INFLUENZA SITUATION CLEARS Medical authorities have become optimistic in their view of the influenza situation. There have been no new cases reported for several days. Twinty-five per cent of the patients were discharged Saturday. All the big wards are being cleared so that the hospital can resume its regular work by next Monday. There are now 152 cases of influenza and 13 cases of pneumonia being cared for in the hospital proper. It is estimated that only five student girls are ill and none of these are serious cases. No deaths have occurred since last Tuesday when three S.A.T.C. men died. BRITISH MAJOR WILL GIVE FIRST LECTURE Major A. Radclyffe Dugmore To Address Students Here on Tuesday Evening Majjor A. Radcliffe Dugmore will give the address at the first University lecture of the year Tuesday evening at 7:30 in the natural science auditorium. Major Dugmore has been sent over at the request of the British government. Prominent as an able lecturer here in the United States and as the author of "Bird Homes," "Camera Adventures in the African Wilds," and others, Capt. Dugmore will need no introduction to many of his audience. And it is this fact coupled with his first hand experience in the war, which is going to make his talk one of the rare occasions of the year. Just after the outbreak of the war when he was still a civilian, Major Dugmore crossed over into Belgium for the purpose of taking photographs. There he was arrested as a spy, first by the British and then by the Belgians, and was afterwards taken prisoner by the Germans, from whom he escaped. Later on, when trying to get a picture of a fight, he was wounded. As soon as he was able to be about again, he enlisted and soon gained a commission as lieutenant in the Tenth Battalion of the King's Own Yorkshire Infantry. In the battle of the Somme he was gassed, but before this he encountered many interesting adventures, especially during his service as brigade scout and intelligence officer. Major Dugmore has a message for the people of America, Prof. B. F. Shambaugh declares. With the approval of the British Foreign Office he is coming to tell the students of the war and how we are winning it. Senior medical students at the University of Michigan will graduate in March. The men in the reserve corps will be stationed at hospitals or called into active service immediately after graduation. At the University of Wisconsin, business and professional men of Madison have organized a "big brother" movement for the soldiers. The two or three "big brothers" assigned to each company invite the soldiers into their homes for meals, introduce them to their frends and plan entertainment. Sunday study classes in which topics of interest to soldiers are discussed have also been arranged by this organization. Illini Sweep Hawkeyes Aside to Win 19 to 0 ILLINOIS ELEVEN BESTS IOWA TEAM IN FIERCE BATTLE Zuppke's Men Spring Series of Plays and Passes that Bewilder Hawkeyes LOHMAN AND SLATER STARS Sabo and Kirkpatrick Star for Visitors----Iowa's Game Largely Defensive Coach Zuppke's championship seeking Illini defeated the Hawkeyes yesterday in a fierce fought battle on Iowa field by the score of 19 to 0. The Illini victory places them in the first position for Big 10 honors. Coached in an open style of play ad taking advantage of every opportunity, the downstaters scored a touchdown on the Iowa team at the start of the second quarter when Kirkpatrick scored a marker on his run round the Iowa right side of the line. Iowa played the visitors to a standstill in the second quarter, and it was not until the third quarter that the Illini opened up a series of gains and again entered the scoring column. The backs carried the oval up the field by steady plunges to the Iowa 25 yard line from where Lanum passed to Lovejoy for a gain of 29 yards. Sabo circled the left end for the second count and Leitch kicked goal. Illinois took the ball on the Iowa 40 yard line at the start of the last quarter and began a steady march to the Iowa goal. A successful pass coupled with Sabo's gains through the line carried the ball to the 5 yard line from where Sabo went over for his second touchdown making the score 19 to 0 in Illinois favor. Illinois Plays Brilliant Game Although the Illinois team entered the game with the odds against them they played a brand of football that was good from start to the finish. The line made the holes and the backs found little trouble in going through for large gains. The forward pass of the downstaters was one of a high standard for time after time they made gains by the aerial rout. Their line drove ahead in a charging manner, and the backfield men were always good for a gain. In their quartet of backs they possessed a combination of men who were fast, good open field runners and adept at the aerial route. The Illinois attack had the better of the Iowa line which did not stop the drives made by the opposing line. The stars for the victors were Sabo, Fletcher, Kirkpatrick and Walquist. Each one of these played an exceptional game. The entire Iowa team put up a game fight but they were on the defense the most part of the game and were unable to use their driving attack they showed in the first quarter when they took the ball to the Illinois 20 yard line after the first 5 minutes of pay. Iowa On Defense Being on the defense nearly all the period of play the Iowa team was unable to get but a small chance for a score. In the first few minutes (continued on page 4)
