Phog's1920'DreamTeam'Returns
Nineteen members, two coaches and a cheerleader of the 1920 "dream team" will return to the University to attend the Homecoming game with Nebraska.
These men will attend the Homecoming festivities and the reunion dinner for the team at 5:30 p.m. today, and the rame Saturday.
The 1920 football team earned its name of "dream team" not by going undefeated or by winning any spectacular championships, but because of a game they won through a premonitional dream of Forrest C. "Phoz". Allen, then head football coach, and because they tied a favored Nebraska team in the Homecoming game. This feat set the spark for a campaign that built Memorial stadium.
The night before the Iowa State game, Coach Allen, who coached football only that one year, dreamed he saw Harley Little, a halfback who had never started a game, run around left end from kick formation and score.
The team-averaging only 162 pounds—was the lightest in the University's history. Arthur C. "Dutch" Lonberg, director of athletics, was one of the four Georgetown Nettels, former Alumni association president, was captain of the team.
Coach Ali dreamed he saw four other player besides Little in his "dream play." None of the four were usually in the starting lineup. When the game started the next day, those five were in the game, and Quarterback Lonborg had instructions to call kick formation on the first play and
to let Little run with the ball. Before the game had started Allen had told the team about his dream.
Kansas received the kick off and Kenneth Welch returned the ball to the 25-yard line. Lonborg called the play and behind perfect blocking Little ran 75 yards for a touchdown. The point was made by Edwin Sandefur and Phog Allen's "dream play" had won the game 7 to 0.
After the memorable Iowa State "dream game," the Jayhawkers met a mighty Nebraska team for Homecoming. The Cornhuskers outweighed the Kansas team 27 pounds a man. The Cornhuskers seemed celerate, leaving the field at half time with the score 20 to 0 in favor of Nebraska.
But in the second half the little Kansas team battered the Nebraskans for three touchdowns and two extra points and the game ended 20 to 20. Enthusiasm was high after this game, and the Monday after the game University students began a drive for funds to build a new stadium.
The two coaches who will be here for the game Saturday are, of course, Prog Allen, and Adrian H. Lindsay, then freshman coach and later coach at the universities of Oklahoma and Kansas, Cheerleader Carl I. "Sandy" Winsor, Wichita, will also be here, Howard "Scrubby" Laslett, Eagle Rock, Calif., was the assistant coach of the 1920 team.

Dionne Quintuplets Go Souvenir Hunting
New York (U.P.)-The Dionne quintuplets went shopping on Fifth avenue Oct. 21 with an eye to souvenirs to take back to their mother and nine brothers and sisters when they returned to Canada the following day.
The 16-year-old sisters were closely guarded by police and aides of their host, Francis Cardinal Spellman, as they toured the midtown department store section. Wherever they went they were followed by crowds of shoppers and a bevy of reporters and cameramen.
Emilie, Marie, Cecile, Yvonne, and Annette perplexed New Yorkers by appearing solemn and unsmiling wherever they went, but the 11 classmates who accompanied them from Callander, Ont., explained that the quints were shy when among strangers.
"You should see the quints when they're at home," said one of the girls. "They're a lot different."
They shed their first smiles on New York from the observation tower of the RCA building. They excitedly pointed out to Papa Oliva Dionne the streets and sites far below which they had toured by bus.
At a special radio interview with Mary Margaret McBride, the girls repeated five times in identical, unemotional voices: "Yes, we are having a wonderful time."
The quints and their party returned to Canada by train to resume classes at Villa Notre Dame high school in Callander where they are 11th grade students.
Law Prohibits Faculty Salary
The University has one school which does not pay its faculty.
Rev. Harold G. Barr, dean of the School of Religion, said that because of a state law, religious education cannot receive financial support from the state.
The Rev. Mr. Barr is paid by the Christian church, but the other five faculty members donate their time. Dr. Samuel S. Mayerberg, rabbi of the largest synagogue in Kansas City, has driven to Lawrence every week for 18 years to teach his class in Hebrew history.
Dr. Edwin F. Price, director of Wesley Foundation, has the largest student group of any religious leader at the University. He has taught an 8 a.m. class three times a week since the school started 28 years ago.
Dr. John H. Patton, director of the Westminster Foundation, teaches History of the World's Religions, and Development of the Christian Church. When 82 students enrolled last spring in the course on The Life and Teachings of Jesus, the Rev. Dale Turner, pastor of the Plymouth Congregational church, consented to take one section.
The Rev. Mr. Barr said students enrolled in the School of Religion say no tuition to the school. He said he deans and other administrative officers of other schools encourage religious activities.
"In spite of differing views on religious matters, the faculty has demonstrated that religion can be taught in a scholarly fashion on a state university campus, even when it operates under financial limitations," the Rev. Mr. Barr said.
Square Dance Club Mails Membership Cards
The last meeting of the Square Dance club open to new members was attended by about 60 persons Oct. 18. Plans for setting up the membership list were made. Membership cards will be sent this week to new students who attended the first meetings.
Robinson gymnasium has been reserved for the next meeting and the one following will be in the Union ballroom. The club meets from 7:30 to 9 p.m. every Wednesday.
Jayhawk's Legend Spreads To Frontier Outpost In Missouri
By WILLIAM D. WHITE
The legend of the Jayhawk continues to grow and expand. recently it reached a little frontier outpost in Warrensburg, Mo., called Central Missouri State college.
Here's how it happened:
A co-ed at C.M.S.C. saw a copy of the Daily Kansan. In it she read a classified ad directed at Jayhawkers by a local pet shop.
"This," the co-ed no doubt thought, "is wonderful! Imagine! a Jayhawk!" So she sent the pet shop a letter.
"Dear Pet Shop:"she wrote
"Dear Pet Shop!" she wrote.
"Iin regard to your ad in The Daily Kansas I wish to obtain a Jayhawk. Would you please send me all the information regarding availability, care, and feeding. Any other information which would be helpful in getting a Jayhawk, please send to—"
(Signed by the co-ed.)
This Kansan reader has probably seen pictures of a Jayhawk, just as we have seen pictures of Santa Claus, and pictures of the stork making maternity calls.
Yes, Miss Co-ed, there is a Jay-hawk, just as surely as there is a Santa Claus. But no collector has ever been able to take a specimen of this bird. All prints, or copies of prints, are portrayals by a few fortunate artists who have been lucky enough to observe the bird in the field.
Maybe what the girl really wants is a big, husky, corn-pickin, pigskin-carryin' Kansas.
Thief Tries Doublecross
Fort Worth—(U.P.)—M. C. Akins testified before a county grand jury against Clyde C. Hopkins, accused of taking 612 pounds of brass. The jury then indicted Hopkins, and also Akins, the latter on a charge of receiving and concealing the brass.
