UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
BASEBALL SQUAD
INVADES AGGIEVILLE
Will Meet Farmer Lads or the Diamond Today and Tomorrow
The Kansas base ball team will mix with the farmers on the diamond at Manhattan today and tomorrow. These two games promise to be the most severe strains of the season for the local tossers.
The Aggies are famous for their ball teams, and this year their performances seem to point to the same enviable record as those attained in the past. They_opened' the season by handing two defeats to Missouri, one by a score of 15 to 6 and the other in a 2 to 0 contest. The last game added to the Aggie string was the Iowa host's best, but battle the Methodists, in spite of the fact that the mighty Zable is pitching, fell before the farmers to a 6 to 4 tune.
The batteries for Kansas have not been announced, but it is probable that Buzick will officiate in the first game with Pollow as his opponent.
The Kansas team will try hard to win from the Farmers this year as they feel that it is about time that the hoodoo of four years' standing is broken. The men feel that if they can win one or two games against their diamond, they will have no trouble in taking both games when the Aggies play the return series here.
SOCCER TO RANK HIGH
Innovation of Spring Practice Increased Interest Calls Attion of N. C. A. A.
Soccer promises to rank among the greater sports in the near future of this and other schools of the Missouri Valley Conference, judging from the amount of interest displayed in the game this spring. For the first time in the history of this school out door spiking practice, men have been introduced. At present over twenty men are reporting for every practice.
It is intended to have a larger schedule next fall than that played last season. This will include a larger number of games at home as well as several games with schools of the university, if any decide to take up the sorpt.
Recently the National Collegiate Association has taken up the game on account of the interest which has been displayed in the sport by the various schools during the last year. Circulars have been issued to the different schools of the country showing the advantages of the game, the manner in which they can be played, and for the scheduled games of the different schools and its history at that school.
The Jayhawker Delt club will give an informal dancing party Saturday night.

KANSAS PROFESSOR INVENTED FOG-BELL
Since the disaster which has occurred in the Atlantic ocean recently, old timers here recalled the fact that the University of Kansas has presented to the world a device for the purpose of signaling from one ship to another in a fog. It was invented by Dr. Lucien I. Blake, formerly head of the physics department, after whom Blake Hall was named.
Ill-Fated Titanic Probably Equipped With Device Useless in Case of Ice
It was due to this system the Baltic reached the sinking Republic in time to prevent loss of life, after the collision with the Florida three years ago. It is also in the system which depends on the water for its carrying nowwers instead of the air.
The submarine bell and signalign system is a sort of underwater wireless. Its works, however, when wireless and ordinary air signals are valueless. The submarine bell, which defies all conditions of air and wind, gives constant warning. Even to a fractional point of the compass can vessels be located in water where there is no sound where the sound of the bell can be heard for twenty-four miles under water when the sound would not have carried five miles in the open air.
The submarine bell, which weighs about three hundred pounds, is lowered into the water twenty feet from the cathead or how. The upper part, which responds to the vibrations of the waves, operate the striker and tongue
The receiving apparatus consists of two tanks lowered over the side in front of the camera.
when are two 'micopop-ups' those micropopes receive the sounds coming through the water and stirring up the surface from here the bell sounds are transmitted to the pilot house, or wherever the navigator is situated.
As all the big steamers on the Camur, the North German Lloyd and the White Star lines are equipped with this apparatus, it is of course believed the ill fated Titanic also used this signaling system.
SOONERS VS NEBRASKA
Oklahoma Adds Cornhuske Game to Already Heavy Football Schedule
The fact that Nebraska has contracted with Oklahoma to play on the biggest date of their schedule is a signal tribute to the record made by the bunch of Sooner "speed fiends" last fall and the reputation of Bennie Owen as being "one of the squares and most sportmanlike gentlemen in the coaching profession" today, as one writer has dubbed him.
Coach Bennie Owen has written to the authorities at Nebraska and accepted the proposition made by them to schedule a game between the Sooners and Cornhuskers. The game will be played at Lincoln on November 23, which is positively the best date on the Nebraska schedule, comparing to our Thanksgiving game. The Sooners will play in Lincoln on Saturday, Nov. 23 and will go from there to Denver, Colorado and play Colorado University five days later on Thanksgiving day. The Nebraska schedule will end with the Oklahoma game.
The Cornhuskers were champions of the Missouri Valley last year and played Michigan and Wisconsin and other teams of Big Eight. This places Oklahoma, the champions of the southwest, on the football map in large type. Besides the intra-state schools the Sooners play the team from Kansas, Kansas Missouri, Nebraska, and Colorado. This is one of the hardest schedules ever attempted by any school but the Sooners will "come back" next fall ready to duplicate their enviable record of last season—Umpire.

About 38 girls have signified their intention of entering this sport this year, although only 14 have signed up their names for dates on which to try out for partners. It makes no difference whether the girls have had previous experience or not, as all will be given an equal chance.
An elementary tennis class for women will be opened the first of next week and girls wishing to learn the rudiments of the game will have a chance to hear some chalk talks to help them along. These talks will be under the direction of Miss Rose Abbott and will be held in the gymnasium. She will not only demonstrate how to play the ball, she will also demonstrate the proper way of holding a racket, serving a ball, etc.

Phi Psis Lose Alphonse and Gaston Contest in the Frat Series
Frat Series
However they soon repented and after securing and maintaining a one point lead, they allowed their appenents to make five runs in the third on the ninth and went till the ninth when the Phi Games finally were forced to take the game.
In a game replete with errors, boneheads and the general characteristics of a poorly played ball game, the Phi Gams were finally forced to accept yesterday's game as a present from the Phi Pis in the last of the ninth with a 10 to 9 score. The contest despite it's small resemblance to a ball game was a very exciting one, exiting as to who would finally be forced to accept it on account of the boneheads of their opponents.
The Phi Psis were the first to receive a score when showed ill-manners in the first inning by accepting one point from the Phi Gams.

NEW GRADE SYSTEM PLEASES FACULTY
But One member Refuses to Sanction Weekly Report on Students' Grades
Since the new system of getting the weekly grades for those in the College has been enacted, a number of inquiries have been received by Dean Templin as to how the plan has been working out. The Board of Records issued the Dean for a report on this system, and a letter has been sent to all members of the faculty to get their opinion of the method.
"In only one instance," said Dean Templin, "has the instructor not given his sanction to the new method. Nearly all give their hearty approval, and think it a mighty good thing. At first a good many thought it would be too much trouble to make it happen, but in reality it is not as much trouble as the old method of irregular calls.
The records are sent in quite promptly, with but two or three exceptions, and they are reasonably full and accurate.
"One great advantage of the system" continued Dean Templin, "is that the majority of the instructors say that it improves the work noticeably, and that the regularity of attendance has also been increase
"Personally, I am very much in favor of it. We are now enabled to give reports at any time to the eligibility committee, dramatic organizations and fraternities, when we have to quite quently write in for grades and we merely copy off the reports and send them in.
"Another advantage is that it serves as a warning to students who are doing poor work. If, however, they find that their reports have all been good during the semester, and then they fail at the end, they will have good reason for raising an objection."
"The Barrier"
This latest and greatest success by Rex Beach has proven his greatest effort and a long run at the New Amsterdam Theater, New York, and comes direct from there on its first transcontinental tour. No play in years has gained the notoriety that this one has. This fact is accounted for by the greatest interest taken by the American public in Alaska, the new El Dorado and it is predicted that next summer will be a greater rush to Alaska than ever was known in the wildest Klondike days—Adv.
