Missouri Files Charges Against Kansas Stars.—Accused of Professionalism. Dispute to be Arbitrated.
The universal confidence prevailing at Kansas in regard to the Thanksgiving game was suddenly disturbed last Thursday, when charges of professionalism were filed against Capt Hicks and Pooler. The protest was not unexpected, as Missouri has intimated several times that the charges would be made.
The protests are based upon a football game played at Carthage, Missouri, after the closing of the season last year. Lamar and Carthage, both Missouri towns, had rival football teams. They played one game which resulted in a score of 0 to 0. A second game was scheduled a week later. The Carthage men sent to the Normal school at Warrensburg, Mo., and induced six or seven players on the Warrensburg team to help them beat Lamar. Pete Allen, tackle on the K. U. team last year, had friends in Lamar and they wrote to him asking if some of the Kansas team could not come down and play for Lamar. As the football season was then over at Kansas, five o

MISSOURI NEXT.
Jayhawkers and Tigers Prepare For the Final Battle on Thanksgiving Day Close Game Expected.
The Missouri team has finally wakened up and will put up the game of its life against Kansas. If the Tigers can defeat the Jayhawkers all past failures will be forgotten and Missouri will attain the height of its ambition.
With the great battle at Kansas City but a few days off, interest in the game is advancing by leaps and bounds. A week ago it looked as though the Jayhawkers would have a walk-away, but the events of the past few days have dispelled the air of confidence in the Kansas camp and the contest will undoubtedly be close and hard-fought.
Kansas is always going hard after the game and the contest should be brilliant in the extreme. The Jayhawkers have been playing good hard football all season and if they do not grow overconfident they should take first honors. If Hicks and Pooler are barred from the game, however, it will undoubtedlv be a close, hard fight.
Iowa College Professor Addresses Chapel
DEAN MAIN TALKS.
Dean Main of Iowa college, Grinel, addressed a large number of students Friday morning at chapel. He read an essay of Emmerson's and said in part that the old Greek myth of Jason in guest of the Golden Fleece in many ways suggests human life, with all its disappointments, failures and successes. The crusades of a latter time are the counterpart of the Greek myth. In one case myth and in the other, history unite to exemplify life. We are all in our lives voyage after the Golden Fleece and make crusades to free the Holy City.
In our striving there are three main things to consider; the Personality of ourselves, the Personality of our neighbors, and the Personality of God Every youth, as a fundamental basis, must get a clear under-
NO APPROPRIATION FOR UNIVERSITY.
State Auditor Wells Turns Down Chancellor's Request—Poor Prospect for New Buildings.
Auditor of State Wells on Friday absolutely refused to endorse Chancellor Strong's request for an appropriation. In addition, he turned down requests for appropriations from every charitable State institution, including industrial homes, hospitals for the insane, industrial schools, the deaf and dumb school, the school for feeble minded youth, and others.
Chancellor Strong in a recent letter to Anditor Wells asked for $375,000,to be used in erecting a memorial gymnasium and auditorium,a general recitation building, an engineering recitation building, and a small building for use by the wood working and carpentry classes in the engineering department.
It is a fact well known to every student in the University that these buildings are absolutely necessary to the future welfare and advancement of the school and the serious disadvantages accruing from a failure to secure an appropriation from the Legislature cannot be over-

Missouri Says, "Show Us."===We Are From Kansas.
KANSAS WON.
Defeated K. S. A. C. by a Score of 41 to 4 — Manhattan Outclassed.
Kansas defeated the State Agricultural College at Manhattan Friday by a score of 41 to 4. The Kansas team was composed largely of substitutes, to obviate the chances of crippling any more of the regulars before the Missouri game.
The "Farmers" could never hold the Jayhawkers and their only score was made on a field goal by Schaltz.
Considering the fact that this score was made by practically a substitute team, it shows that Kansas will have many valuable substitutes to go in against Missouri if it becomes necessary.
The Kansas team tore big holes in the Munhattan line and skirted the en is for long gains. Russell got away once for a run of seventy-five yards and a touchdown.
Y. M. C. A. HAS 250 MEMBERS.
The University Y. M. C. A., has about two hundred and fifty members at present and looks forward to the time when it shall have its own building. The support of the entire membership will be needed when this enterprise is taken up.
Sportsman's Park at Kansas City is being arranged to accommodate twelve thousand people and the management expects every seat to be taken. All tickets will be reserved and a uniform price of $1.50 will be charged for admission.
While Mrs. Mary F. Strong, mother of Chancellor Strong, was returning home Thursday evening, she fell at the crossing of Adams and Ohio streets, severely injuring her hip. She was assisted to her home at 1314 Louisiana street by the students of the William's Club upon an improvised litter. She suffered greatly from the shock, and owing to her illness Chancellor Strong was unable to be in Chapel Friday morning.
DR. STRONG'S MOTHER INJURED.
standing of himself. He must not consider the superficial, but must look deeper into that something which is to determine what we shall be. The statement of Napoleon the Little, that "Things are stronger than men," was a fit model for his failure. Men alone are stronger than men. When man disappears, nothing but chaos will remain. We should get hold of the Essential Great and put the best we have in force and we will be reformers in spite of the results. Unbroken success is only necessary for the coward. Your personality is however of no value by itself. Separate a man from other men and he will become a brute. Your personality must get its significance by alliance with others. See the real in others as you ought. Accept their Personality not their wealth, power or station If the interest of person, be supreme rather than that of thing our present different problems of Labor, Philippine Islands, and the Negro Question would be easily solved.
