ASC TO--is focused." This is the first time the publication has been questioned under mailing laws.
The staff of the "Owl." officially has mailed no copies of the magazine, and a recall of the copies now being held at the postoffice here, pending investigation, would have to be made by persons who sent them.
No faculty advisors were appointed at the time when student committee for publication of the "Sour Owl" were chosen. Prof. E. O. Stene believes this may have been an oversight on the part of the council members owing to the fact that the official council bills were not in the hands of the All-Student Council at that time.
Members of the committee which will work on a formal apology to be brought before the council at the meeting tomorrow night are Jack Button, chairman; Doris Bixby, representative of the publications committee of the All-Student Council; Clark Henry, representative of the staff of the "Sour Owl"; Marge Free and Joan Burch.

SPIRITED JAYHAWK---

mentor, stated that the Kansans had a heavier and more powerful line than the Bengals, and that the Jayhawk team has heavier backs. "We certainly are on the short end of the odds," was the Tiger coach's factually false comment.
(continued from page one)
It will be the first time since 1910 that the annual classic will be played in Kansas City, the two colleges playing host to the game ever since it was moved away from the Missouri metropolis. Missouri actually holds a slight edge all the way around in the contest, but past years have proved that odds don't mean a thing. Last year the Tigers rode into Lawrence heavy favorites to smother the Jayhawks by at least six touchdowns, but the battered Bengals limped home that November afternoon on the short end of a 7-6 score.

Football Is Turkey's Competitor
K. U. students and faculty will begin their holiday for purposes of Thanksgiving tonight. Many will make a "Pilgrim's Progress" to the footbrawl" game tomorrow with Missouri U., at Ruppert stadium in Kansas City. The rest will hear results via WDAF or KMBC, two stations expected to broadcast the game.
Some students will knock off for a day of rest, catching up on some long lost sleep. Others, not so wise, will stuff their tummies full, and hen sit around regretting it.
Some will have the "to heck with it" attitude, and go AWOL for the weekend. No "double cuts" will be given for Friday absences, the Chancellor has stated. However, the amount of cutting will determine future policy in regard to absences before and after holidays, he added.
