Though the varsity was late in getting on the field due to the many bruises received in the last game, the second team was on hand and the coach put the men through a long signal drill until the first string showed up for work. As soon as the varsity had pu tin their appearance the Iowa mentor gave them a stiff signal and a short workout against the reserves. As the result of one of the hardest games that any Iowa team ever played the athletes were somewhat bruised and battered from the mix with the northerners. Iowa Victory Decisive According to certain dopesters the principal upset of the week's games was the defeat handed out by the Hawks. As it was the first defeat the Gophers have ever taken from the Iowa team, it goes without saying that the Illini victory over Iowa has been forgotten, though a win would have put the Hawks in the top place of the ladder. Though going great guns for the early part of the season the Iowa team was bewildered by the attack used by Zuppke, with the result that our players went down in an unlooked-for defeat. Improve Team Plays That the Iowa Team has improved was shown in the Gopher game for at almost no part of the contest was the Iowa team in danger of being whipped. The forward pass attack opened up in the last period caused a little scare but the work of the Iowa backs spoiled every chance for a score. Though the backs gained well through the holes made by the line they played a defense game, the like of which has not been seen on (continued on page 3) OUR OLDEST CITIZEN MARVELS AT PARADE Yesterday's celebration was "some day" for Iowa City. One older citizen said, "That's the biggest thing Iowa City ever had." The noise and color of the band and flags, the line of soldiers, sailors, old men, and little children no more than expressed the wild happiness in every heart. One girl said she wished her brother would come back on the next ship; but now that piece has come she can wait indefinitely. It is hoped that Mr. Hohenzollern's new suit will fit him more or less. Everyone was as happy as a brass band and didn't hesitate to show it. I.W.A.A. SEEKS MEMBERS Hare and Hound Race Planned for Near Future I. W. A. A., with thirty-two old members back, will hold initiation soon for the new girls who have signed up. Each new member must win five points for entrance. One point will be given for each five-mile hike taken with four other girls and one for every ten sets of tennis. Within the association a new set of awards is being worked out. Last year awards were given a number of girls. Seals were won by Agnes Dawson, Edythe Saylor, and Chloris Shade; pins by Bessie Braig, Sylvia Buser, Agnes Dawson, Esther Graves, Helen Hull, Verna Iliff, Adele Kimm, Jean Moore, Edythe Saylor, Chloris Shade, and Ada Snyder. A hare and hound chase has been planned for the near future if the good weather continues. Definite announcement will be made later. HAWKEYE TRUSTEES SEEK NEW STAFF Business Manager and Editor Are To Be Chosen For Junior Annual Dr. C. H. Weller, chairman of the Hawkeye trustees, asks for applications for editor and business manager of this year's Hawkeye. At a meeting of the board yesterday, it was decided to proceed with plans for the annual as usual, inspite of the difficulties this year. Because fraternities are inactive the whole fraternity section will have to be abandoned and with men of the University otherwise occupied, there may not be the usual material from which to choose editors. Last year's editor and business manager are lieutenants in the army, and they are only two instances of what war has done to the plans for the Hawkeye. The salary for each of these positions is $200, with an additional percentage of the net income over a certain amount. Applications will be received till next Monday, and from those received by that time the board will ll the two positions. The two new students selected will undoubtedly be made members of the Hawkeye bobard, and will choose their staff with the approval of the board. In the past the persons holding these positions have found it advisable to take only half work in school, and with the new divisions of the school year that would mean that extra work would be dropped as desirable as men, and the only requirement is that they be juniors in good standing. Even though it is late there [is?] time to make the best Hawkeye [event?] and a chance for two capable people to make financial gains for themselves as well. Last year each of the two men who had the annual charge came out $290 ahead, and [just ends here?] Marian Hossfeld, a last year's graduate, is recovering from an attack of the influenza. Miss Hossfeld is on the editorial staff at the Mayo clinic in Rochester. Mrs. Cobb of Davenport, spent the week end here visiting her son Rodney of the S.A.T.C. MASS MEETING TO START OFF DRIVE WAR WORK DRIVE University Campaign for Seven Welfare Organizations Begins Today MISS BURNER IS SPEAKER Captain McKendrick Addesses Men of S.A.T.C.--Cornell College President Talks. With two big mass meetings held Sunday afternoon and a third planned for this afternoon, the United War Work campaign started with a rush this week. All preparations have been made and the quota of $10,000 is expected to be reached by Wednesday night. Miss Oolooah Burner, national Y.W.C.A. secretary, who has spent six months in France working among the nurses, will speak at the natural science auditorium at 4:30 today. Dean Au will probably give a short talk and there will be patriotic music. It is hoped that a large crowd will attend. Miss Burner will also speak to the nurses at University hospital at 7 o'clock. British Captain Speaks President C. W. Flint of Cornell College spoke at a general city is one meeting at the auditorium Sunday afternoon. He made a stirring address on the need of contributing liberally to the great cause in which everyone is so much concerned. Sunday evening S.A.T.C. men met to hear Capt. J.M. MacKendrick of the North-West Battalion, Winnipeg, Canada. As a war veteran of three and a half years, Captain MacKendrick was a speaker of exceptional interests. He took part in all of the important engagements in which the Canadians participated, and is one of the forty-two men now living out a regiment of 1133. Although he is still very young, a 1912 graduate of McGill University, Winnipeg, Captain MacKendrick's hair turned white in a single night at the front. This speaker paid a remarkably fine tribute to the Y.M.C.A., Y.W.C.A., K. of C., and other organizations for the United War Work campaign is being pushed. Drive Will Be Thorough Forty solicitors are now working among the women of the University and immediately after the mass meeting this afternoon a thorough canvas will begin. The work will bedon [?] thorough, sorority houses, freshmen houses, Currier hall, and other student community centers. A list of all girls registered has been abtained and each will be visited and asked to contribute to the campaign. S.A.T.C. men are conducting their own drive by companies, and the other[?] men of the University have united[?] to work together. Campaign leaders emphasize the fact that the quota must be reached and if possible oversubscribed, even although the armistice has been signed. Demobilization will be a long process, and, relieved from the pressure war, the army and navy men will need more recreation and occupation than ever. It is imperative that this campaign be made a great success, all the leaders declare. STILL DANGER FROM "FLU" New Cases are Still Being Reported. Forty Cases in University Hospital The danger from the "flu" situation is not yet passed, according to the statement made by Dr. Wm. Rohrbacher, health officer. He says that even though the quarantine has been lifted that people should continue to avoid public place [sas] much as possible. "The intermingling of people has not been avoided as it should. If not taken more serious we shall be placed again in restraint, for we certainly do not care to have our recent experience repeated," he [hays]. However there are only forty cases at present in the University hospital, none of which are serious. If they continue on the increase as they have during the last few days, there will be reason to fear. Up to date there has been thirty-six deaths among the S.A.T.C. from influmonia, brought on by influenza. ATHLETIC TRAINING WILL BEGIN JAN. 1 Physical Training Will Be Introduced for Soldiers When Armory is Vacated When the organization of the S.A.T.C. is completed, there will be introduced for the soldiers, a systematized routine of physical training, including all of the more popular sports such as boxing, swimming, wrestling and the like. E.G. Schroeder, director of physical training for men, states that this work cannot possibly begin before Jan. 1, however, because of the unsettled arrangement in the S.A.T.C. A large number of the soldiers are now quartered in the armory and there is no available place where the courses may be conducted. The physical training equipment, therefore, lays idle and will probably not be used until the new barracks are finished and until the companies are moved to their new and permanent location. Nevertheless, the Hawkeye soldiers are not lacking in exercise, for every day they go through calisthenic drills. Plans are already under way for most intensive physical training courses ever offered here for men. Boxing will be the feature of the courses and will be given in connection with bayonet training. Such a combination teaches the soldier to use his bayonet handily and with greater force, and makes him watchful, alert and ever on guard. It is probable that a boxing ring will be erected upon the parade grounds and that free boxing contests will be staged there. These matches will be open to the public. Other athletic contests, such as handball, swimming, and wrestling will also be presented. Jui-jitsu and wrestling will hold a prominent place in the coming athletic courses. Whitby literary society will hold an open program this evening at 7:15 in the drawing room. Mary Pazdera, of Cedar Rapids and Alice Simek, of Tama, went home for the week end. UNIVERSITY REJOICES WITH WHOLE NATION AT ALLIED VICTORY Classes Suspended Yesterday When News of Armistice Reaches Iowa City S.A.T.C. UNIT IN PARADE Whole Town Awakened Early to Hear of German Defeat by U.S. and Allies Since 2:40 yesterday morning, when a number of strident blasts from the water-works whistle announced the signing of the armistice, Iowa City has worn a festal appearance. "Peace Holiday" was declared by orders of the Loyalty league. S.A.T.C. men coming to class were met by the janitor with a sign announcing no school for the day and immediately military formation and discipline were forgotten. Everybody entered into the spirit of the day and vied with each other in the matter of noisy jubilee. Parade Formed At 1 o'clock the grand march formed at the Commercial club and, led by Captain George W. Robertson of the S.A.T.C. and Charles Slavata of the Loyalty league, paraded the down-town section of the city. This parade was one of the biggest ever seen in Iowa City. S.A.T.C. men headed by the band marched by companies. School children from the tiny tots upward were all there. D.A.R., Red Cross, Commercial club, G.A.R., and Hawkeye club were represented. Perhaps the heartiest reception was given to the proxy for our old friend Kaiser Bill. His position left little to be desired. Crowds of people with waving flags and banners, jingling cow-bells, and smiling faces swarmed the streets all day. Every other automobile trailed a noise-maker. Started Early Immediately upon the giving of the signal people began to gather. Bon-fires were lighted and a procession organized. The University band rendered the national air very impressively, while the S.A.T.C. regiment stood at attention. Starting with a few hundred people the numbers grew until several thousand were participating. Along toward morning groups of girls, tired, and hungry, but still waving their flags, might be seen turning their steps toward the coffee room. NOTICE TO FACULTY WOMEN There will be a meeting for faculty women at 3:45 today in the liberal arts drawing room. Miss Oolooah Burner will speak. Miss Burner has just returned from six months' work among the nurses in France. HESPERIA: The regular business meeting and program will be held at the home of Mrs. Aurner, 615 N. Dubuque, at 7:30 this evening.
