The Daily Iowan The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa VOL. XVIII—NEW SERIES VOL. III IOWA CITY, IOWA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1919 NUMBER 42 FOOTBALL PLAYERS CELEBRATE TONIGHT AT ANNUAL DINNER Mass Meetings at Gymnasiums Friday Night Will Stimulate Interest in Athletics ATHLETIC MENU FOR GIRLS Refreshments Will Not Be More Spicy than Lively Speeches on Schedule As a happy ending to a successful football season, and as something of a reward to the men who helped to make it a success, the annual football dinner will be given at 6 o'clock tonight at the Jefferson hotel. At this dinner the men will talk over the past season and plan for the next. The captain for 1919 will probably be elected at this time. Attorney Charles M. Dutcher will be toastmaster. Others scheduled to speak are President W. A. Jessup, Coach Howards Jones, Trainer Jack Watson, Dr. H. J. Prentiss and Ronald Reed, Captain of the 1918 team. A Recent Innovation The annual football dinner, which is given at the end of the football season, was delayed this year on account of the epidemic of influenza. This occasion, just adopted in recent years by the University, has come to take a regular place in the routine of athletic events. Just as the football dinner closes the football season, the big mass meeting Friday night at the armory will give an impetus to the other no less important athletics to follow. This meeting cannot be dignified by the term "mass meeting" in the true sense of the meaning of the phrase if all indications prove true. "Mob meeting" will probably be more appropriate, is the assertion of some who say they know. The following men will give the meeting a little form my short talks: R. A. Kuever of the pharmacy college, Dean McGovney, Attorney Henry WAlker, who was once student manager of athletics, Keith Hamill, Dick Dreyer, and Al Fisher, a former yell leader of the University. Ronald Reed is chairman. Apple cider, doughnuts and other light refreshments will be abundant. First Women's Mass Meeting While the men of the University are raising pep at the armory, the feminine element will be inculcating enthusiasm at the women's athletic mass meeting at the women's gymnasium. Friday evening at 7:30 the first real girl's mass meeting will take place. It is expected to be the largest gathering of University women that will occur this year. The passing of the influenza ban and the lure of the gastronomical and oratorical menus which have been prepared lead those in charge of the meeting to expect a monster gathering. The following speech parade has been arranged: "Do We Want Athletics at Iowa," Gretchen Kane; "The Arthletic Crisis of 1918," Regina Des Jardins; "Our Record Last Fall," Helen Hayes; "The Menu for 1919," Alice Hinkley; "Keeping Iowa on the Athletic Map," Edythe Saylor. Refreshments are in charge of the "I" club. It is rumored (a peace time rumor) that the University band will be on deck for a part in the performances. IOWA MEN INSTALL FRAT AT GRINNELL Chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, Journalistic Fraternity, to be Instituted Another chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalistic fraternity, will be instituted in this state Saturday, Jan. 11, when the Grinnell Press club will be installed.

Hopefuls are buying their regulation pencils in advance. Young scribblers in Journalism have asked for the measurements and are casting about for the right kind. Theta Sigma Phi girls at their meeting this evening are going to elect their pledges unless something comes up. Thrills at Theta Sigma Phi are licensed interrupters and have been inserted into the constitution. The fortunate ones will be obliged to wear the pencils about their necks on the day following election, and to use them for all class notes during the day. The Committee in charge of proceedings extends only a black hand of welcome to all reporters who have sought to interview them on the subject of just what is to happen at the meeting tonight. The Official Sleuth reports that one pair of hand cuffs, one lace curtain and six pounds of newspaper have been smuggled into the house where the meeting is to be held. Although Theta Sigma Phi is supposed to be a fraternity of girls with representative imaginations, nothing has yet been deduced from these facts. If the mystery develops no doubt an Extra will be forthcoming shortly.
