KU-MU Game 35 Years Ago Began Homecoming Tradition
"Miscoo Delenda Est!"
That was the headline which screamed the occasion of the first University of Kansas homecoming on Nov. 23, 1912, almost 35 years to the day before the game this Saturday. It meant "Missouri must be defeated!"
A glimpse at the University Daily Kansas files reveals other striking similarities besides date and opponent. Then as now, the Jayhawkers were described as "light but aggressive," averaging 165½ pounds per man. They had an advantage over the Tigers, though, who averaged 165 pounds per man.
Student Look-outs Posted
Two weeks before the big game dozens of students were posted around the practice field to keep out any black and yellow spies who might be lurking around. Taking no chances, the team went to Lake Forrest a week before the game to practice in the strictest secrecy.
The day before homecoming the Kansas produced another eloquent headline: "Screeching Jayhawk Fascely Waits to Pounce an Approaching Prey."

Just one more reminiscent quote: "Six thousand Missourians made the trip to the Kansas camp Saturday, confident of seeing their striped tenning pluck the remaining tail feathers from the torn and battered Jayhawk. At six o'clock hardly a Missouri color could be seen in the moving stream of Crimson and Blue.

Union 'Battle Of Bands'
To Be Held Saturday
CORE Tests Race Policies Of 15 Cafes
The Union Activities "Battle of Baudé" will be held from 9 to 12 Saturday night in the Union Lounge and ballroom.
The Committee on Racial Equality began collecting evidence of racial discrimination Thursday for submission to the Kansas Legislative council with test cases at Lawrence restaurants and night clubs.
The evidence will be used to support recommendations for a new civil rights law. C.O.R.E. claims that the present Kansas law is inadequate.
Ralph Campbell, chairman of the local merchants' bureau, said today that as far as he knew the bureau would take no action in any way until the C.O.R.E.'s evidence has been acted upon by the legislative council.
Music will be played by the Wayne Ruppenthal and Charlie O'Conner orchestras. Admission will be $2 a couple.
No Servi-
Incomplete reports from Thursday's tests show 15 cafes and night clubs in Lawrence where Negroes are refused service as a policy of the management. Six places serve Negroes without reservation. A few of the cafes offered to serve Negroes in the kitchen or if they would stand up while eating.
No Service In 15 Cafes
Thursday's tests were made by groups of two or three Negroes and whites. No disturbance was reported in any of the places tested, Robert Stewart, C.O.R.E. chairman, reported.
"The purpose of these test cases is to collect evidence to submit to the legislative council to support the recent report of President Truman's committee on civil rights," Stewart said.
Evidence For Legislature
C. O.R.E. has requested that Governor Frank Carlson recommend that a new civil rights law be passed for Kansas. In a recent interview Governor Carlson suggested that C.O.R.E. present documentary evidence of discrimination to the legislative council when it meets next month along with recommendations for a new law.
"The results of the tests have shown that the spirit of the present civil rights law is being violated in Lawrence." Stewart said.
C. O.R.E. members making Thursday's tests reported that most of the restaurants that refused to serve Negroes displayed signs stating that the management "reserved the right to refuse service to anyone." One sign said "colored trade served in snacks only."
A few lucky visitors will receive the Jayhawk parking permits for souvenirs when they register at the Union Saturday, A. J. Trovillo, head of the parking committee reported. Several permits were made for an unused zone and the parking committee has decided to give them to visiting alumni for souvenirs. For those who don't get the Jayhawk permits, maps of the University campus will be given.
The two Kansas Javahawks have chased the two hapless Missouri Tigers to the campus today, after a slight delay at the University of Missouri yesterday, and at a Jayhawker rally in Kansas City last night.
Visitors Will Get Parking Permits
The Javhawks had planned to jump the Tigers at 10 a.m.yesterday and, Missouri university students were waiting for them with a parade, pep orchestra, and coffee and doughnuts.
Since the Jayhawks didn't arrive until 11:30 a.m., they just went over to the administration building and staged a pep rally, Kansas style, on the front lawn.
Two Tired Tigers Reach Campus
Missouri students tore streamers off the Kansas cars, let the air out of tires and painted cars with "Beat Kansas" and "Yea Tigers." Later the cars were washed and prepared for a parade, in which the Jayhawks badly mangled a pair of unhappy Tigers in an open convertible.
Two Jayhawks chased the Titers around the downtown area working up enthusiasm for tomorrow's game.

While coaching here from 1903 to 1910. Dr. Kennedy's teams won 85 per cent of their games.
In the dozen times Dr. Kennedy played or coached against M.U., he was beaten only once and tied once.
He then came to Kansas as head coach and stayed here for seven years, a record period for a Jayhawk football coach.
"Beat Missouri" has its personal touch for Dr. Albert R. Kennedy, a former KU. quarterback, and a practicing dentist in Lawrence.

Friesen Wins Campus Problem Speech Contest
Ernest Friesen, won the 21st annual "Campus Problems" speaking contest Thursday night in Frank Strong auditorium. Edward Stollenwerk took second honors and Gerald Bales placed third. All are College sophomores. Other contestants were Morgan Wright, Floyd Thuston, and Walter Rappenthal.
Friesen's winning subject was "How Much is an Education Worth?" He emphasized the point that members of the "K.U. country club" don't realize the value of an education. Few students would walk miles as Abraham Lincoln did just to read a book.
Bales spoke on "Campus Cafes" to win third. He said that in order to kill harmful bacteria, dishes must be kept in water at 180 degress temperature for 30 minutes. Since this is much hotter than a person can stand, "if you see a dishwasher using his bare hands, the dishes aren't clean."
The subject of Stollenwerck's second place speech was "Science or Salesmen". The University has a College of Liberal Arts and Sciences which produces salesmen who learn "less and less about more and more," he said. The engineering school produces scientists who learn "more and more about less and less." He concluded that a compromise between these situations was needed.
Friesen said that "education is handed us on a silver platter." On this platter is "spinach and sweet tasting liquid," from which students may choose. Most of them choose the sweet tasting liquid,
Her program will include a Handel sonata, the last two movements of the "G minor concerto" by Bruch, and such favorite short selections as Schubert's "Ave Maria," the "Londonderry Air," a Brahm's Hungarian dance, and the brilliant "Gypsy Air" by Sarasate.

Engineerreets Hear Speech By Professor Heister
"The Friday night rally has don't recall any ceremonies for the crowning of a queen" Miss Black said. "At the rally all the old stars would be back and be introduced with the team. The team would be lined up in their positions with the old stars gathered around the player whose position they had played. After the celebration the crowd would give the Rock Chalk yell and you knew you really 'belonged' again."
Homecoming festivities in years past may have lacked the elaborateness they have today, but to Miss Florence Black, associate professor of math and veteran sports fan, the event had all the fire and enthusiasm needed.
'Homecoming Enthusiasm--Nothing New'
"The Friday night rally had the snakedance, bonfire, and yells but not too much activity for the day."
Until the Union was built much of the pre-game activity centered on Massachusetts street. Miss Black continued, and the street and stores
were gayly decorated for the incoming crowds who poured in off special trains.
Miss Black who is a familiar spectator at most University athletic events has rarely missed a game since she started teaching at the University in 1928. "K.U. has learned how to take defeats in other years, but its enjoyable to watch a winning team," she laughed.
"Yes, I think we'll win over Missouri," she said, eyes twinkling; "don't you?"
