The Daily Iowan The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa VOL. VXIII--NEW SERIES VOL.

The visitors proved to be a fast eleven. The lighter Hawkeye squad put up a fight that has rarely been surpassed on Iowa field. Olcott's team was composed of nothing but stars from the universities of the west and eastern schools. In the last quarter the Iowa team redeemed itself for the fumble made in the first quarter by carrying the ball to the visitor's 8 yard line on a series on long forward passes. Lohman Slater and Reed proved themsolves artists in handling them-passes. The entire Iowa team played a very creditable game. Jones' men were on an equal with the visiting team in almost every department, and it is doubted whether any team could have beaten the machine that Coach Olcott presented. Weeks of hard training put the men in tip-top form. For the Great Lakes team, Eilson, Driscall, McClellan, and Bachman starred. The entire Iowa backfield men showed that their offense was one of the strongest ever presented by an Iowa team.d Greenwood an reed in the line time after time succeeded in breaking up the Lakes' formations. The game by quarters follows. First Quarter Eilson of the Sailors kicked to Kelly who returned 10 yards. After three downs Iowa punted and on a series of passes and plunges car- lose it on a fumble. Here the Jack- lost it on a fumble. Here the Jackies opened up with end runs and passes and worked the ball to the 18 yard line. McClellan made 9 yards around right end, and Mendenhall, the old Iowa man, went through the center for 5 more. McClellan added [?] yards through the center for a touchdown. The Lakes team punted out to the twenty yard line from where Eilson kicked a pretty goal. Iowa kicked off 20 yards, Lohman recovering Kelly's fumble. Iowa caried the ball a short distance, but lost it on downs. The sailors tried a series a short plunges, but the Hawkeyes were more than their equal and held them for downs. It was Iowa's ball on her own 20 yard line. Lohman punted to the Lakes [?0] yard line. Iowa again held the Sailors for a down. Scott gained 30 yards around left end on an intercepted pass. The quarter ended with the ball in the Great Lakes team's possess on their own 35 yard line. Score 7-0 Second Quarter Rich intercepted a forward pass from McClellan gaining 20 yards.

The Iowan is a University publication and in this critical year it not only will contain the news which every member of the university should know, but it will be made the regular medium for official notices. W. A. JESSUP. Y. W. C. A. HOLD TEAS FOR UNIVERSITY GIRLS Many Positions For Work Are Open In The City For College Girls A University girls' tea was held in the liberal arts drawing room Friday afternoon at which a large number of Freshmen girls attended. The new Y. W. C. A. headquarters will be in room 117 of the liberal arts building with Miss Bernice Cole as secretary. Miss Cole was graduated from the University in June 1918 and is well acquainted with Y. W. C. A. activities. The Women's League, Newman club and the Y. W. C. A. held another tea for all University girls yesterday afternoon. The tea was held in the drawing room and a large number of girls attended and spent a pleasant social time. Miss Cole states that a large number of calls have been made by local residents desiring girls for various work in homes and other places. The absence of men students for waiters will necessarily require a larger number of girls to take up these same positions. A telephone will be installed in the new headquarters at an early date. A large number of social affairs are being planned by the social committee and the date and place of the first big mixer will soon be announced. FISKE O'HARA VISITS IOWA CITY Plans to Sing to Wounded Soldiers Next Summer While the whistles were proclaiming an American victory and Iowa Cityans were launching the fourth and what promises to be the most successful of her Liberty Loan drives, Fiske O'Hara, America's Irish singer arrived in Iowa City. With a sparkle in his Irish eye and a smile that was straight from Erin, Fiske O'Hara declared that he couldn't resist the temptation of introducing to Iowa City her newest war slogan, "Good Morning, what's my share?" "Sure and there isn't a doubt in my mind but we're going to cross the Rhine and cross it mighty soon," the Irish singer declared. Several years ago he met General Pershing when he was still a lieutenant and discovered that the great American was a man of few words. "But whenever he once made a decision we found that no earthly power could deter him. Mr. O'Hara had a dream which he confesses he hopes to be able to carry out next summer. "I'm going to give my voice and my Irish songs to wounded soldiers who are sent back to America to recuperate. For they're the boys who are forgotten." STUDENTS ARE STILL BUSY COMPLETING THEIR REGISTRATION Regular Work to Begin According to Schedule--Opening Has Not Been Postponed LINE OFFICERS COURSES OFFERED Physical Examinations for All University Students Are Required This Year. Preliminaries of room hunting, physical examinations, and matriculatoin have kept the freshmen busy for the last few days, and upper classmen have been in some confusion. Within two or three days, however, Iowa will have the situation completely in hand. "Ask the students to have patience," H. C. Dorcas, registrar, said yesterday afternoon. "On account of the unusual circumstances of the time, the machinery of registration is moving slowly. We are handling students as quickly as we can." Opens Tuesday The University will open October 1 as scheduled and classes will begin at once, notwithstanding various rumors to the effect that the date of opening has been postponed. University authorities refuse to estimate the number of men who will be in the S. A. T. C. It has been predicted, unofficially, that the number is sure to exceed two thousand. Most of these men are electing the line officers' courses which have been recommended by the government The University has been exceedingly expeditious in the organization of these courses, which have meant virtually the transformation of the University inside a month. Long lines of men crowded before the hospital yesterday for medical examination preliminary to induction into S. A. T. C. All University women will be required to take a physical examination. Expect 3000 Some difficulty in securing rooms for the present has been experienced by the men. Barrack room is provided for 3,000 students in the men's and women's gymnasiums, Close hall, the law building, and the hall of engineering, and these buildings would be ready for occupancy now were it not for a delay in the securing of cots and bedding. Churches have offered their rooms also, and it is possible that the University will make use of them in order to accommodate all the members of the S. A. T. C. The situation at Iowa, however, is not at all serious, although it is rumored that some colleges throughout the state have been compelled to close their doors to students because they cannot accommodate them. LIBERTY LOAN IS YET BELOW COUNTY QUOTA "Johnson county is sure to go over the top," was the prediction of Chas. M. Dutcher, chairman of the Fourth Liberty Loan comittee for this county, late last night. With three townships to hear from, the county has subscribed $1,537,000. It had been the hope of the committee to go beyond the original quota the first day, and the committee is in hopes that the aim would be realized when final reports are made to headquarters the first of this week. DELIVERIES The Daily Iowan cannot be delivered to subscribers who have not paid for their subscription by October 1, 1918. Deliver of papers not already paid for constitutes a violation of a new order of the War Industries board. A large number of persons have ordered papers through solicitors, but have not paid for them. Such persons will receive the paper for Sunday, September 29, 1918, but unless the paper is paid for in advance, future delivery cannot be made. Some S. A. T. C. men gave their addresses at University barracks. Inasmuch as some men are not yet living at University barracks, there may be some confusion in deliveries. Subscribers are asked to send in correct address on post cards to the manager of the Daily Iowan. Money may be left at The Iowan business office at the Chesnutt Printing Company, 103 Iowa avenue. DEAN KAY COMMENDS SPIRIT OF S. A. T. C. University Women Are Urged to Select Courses Training For War Service "The young man of the S. A. T. C. is not thinking in terms of relation to graduation. He is thinking of the University in relation to the war." was the declaration of Dean George F. Kay yesterday, as he briefly outlined special war courses which have just been brought into the curriculum. Students will find themselves in a wholly different situation from other years, he said, and their very presence at the University is a challenge to them to be of maximum service to the nation. Every man on the faculty who is essential to the war courses proposed by the government is not released to go into drafted service. Dean Kay in his address to the women of the University, appealed to them to train themselves for war service and sketched courses in education, chemistry, and secretarial work designed to meet war needs. "We have got to have the finest morale," he told the young women "and I hope that you will meet every one of these new situations in the same spirit that the young men are meeting them." IOWA GETS NEW CHINESE STUDENT Chiang Liu, a graduate of Tsing Hau College in Peking, has arrived at the University of Iowa and has obtained quarters with Tsz Lee, Pang Kong Lum, Pei-Hsin Penn, Chu Tien and several other Chinese students at the University. Mr. Liu has been sent by the Chinese government to this country and he will specialize in education. Seven Filipinos, two Japs, a Porto Rican, a Hindu and a South African give the University a cosmopolitan air. English composition is found to be one of the most difficult subjects these foreigners encounter at the institution. It also taxes their mind when in a French class, for instance, they must translate one strange tongue into another, equally unknown. QUARTER MEN IN BARRACKS MONDAY SAYS ROBERTSON Temporary Barracks For S. A. T. C. Men Are Ready--First Meals Tuesday FEW FAIL PHYSICAL EXAMINATION Twenty-one Officers Here For Student Army--No Quarantine Every man who expects to be inducted into the S. A. T. C. is required by Capt. George W. Robertson to appear on the east side of the Physics building, Tuesday morning at 10:30 for the national exercises to be conducted in honor of the organization of the students' army. The program will begin at 11 o'clock. Appropriate exercises will accompany the flag raising, and speeches will follow. Up until last night, no one had been inducted into the army section of the S. A. T. C. at the University. No forms have been received by the government. Between 500 and 600 men have had their physical examinations, and very few have been rejected. Limited service men will be kept here at regular work, but when these men leave for active service, they will be assigned to work for which they are physically fit. On Monday the men of the S. A. T. C. will be assigned as follows: Women's gymnasium, 500 men; men's gymnasium, 440; dental building, 268; law building, 220; Close hall, 200; engineering hall, 300, and Welch building, 120. The first meal served will be Tuesday breakfast. S. A. T. C. men will not be in quarantine, Adjutant LeRoy E. Cook declares in denial of the rumor of a three weeks' quarantine which has been circulating on the campus. Just what nights the men will be allowed their freedom cannot be decided until their schedules are arranged, the adjutant says. Saturday and Sunday nights are probably "off nights," but even then the men will be compelled to be in at 10 o'clock. The war faculty of the University has grown to include the following officers: Captain George W. Robertson First Lieut. Leroy E. Cook, adjutant Captain William S. Brownlee, medical corps; First Lieut. Dow A. Rice, dental corps; First Lieut William H. DeButts; Clifford E. Caswell, Henry D. Barmore, John A. Warden, Robert T. Christy, Alexander W. Cavins, James K. Murphy, Rollin M. Perkins, personnel adjutant; Richard E. Chamberlain, Ephriam Clarke, Leroy A. Clarke, James M. Clarke, Basil T. Church, William R. Castle, Jr., Herbert F. Von Ewegen, First Sergeant Mark A. Kelly, Chief Trumpter Jacob Maier. MISS ANDERSEN ATTENDS ALLIED WAR MEETING Miss Mary Andersen, former Y. W. secretary here, now located at Base Hospital No. 27 with the American Expeditionary Forces, has charge of the nurses' club work at the Y. W. hut at that place. Her work is that of planning entertainments for the nurses. She also takes care of the nurses' business affairs. Miss Andersen was one of the ushers at the meeting of Allied women war workers held in Paris recently.
