F. E. Melvin, associate professor of history, will give the first, entitled "Vision That Became a Fact," Dec. 1, in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
Prof. Robert Taft, of the department of chemistry, author of
"Across the Years on Mount Oread," will present a "Panorama of K.U. History." This lecture will feature Professor Taft's collection of slides and will be held Dec. 12 in the Kansas room.
"Sixty Years on Mount Oread," is the topic of the third lecture to be given by Prof. Olin Templin, secretary of the Endowment association. Professor Templin has been at the University since 1881. This lecture will be given Jan. 15 in the Kansas room.

The Missouri triumph gave Don Faurot his second undisputed Big Six crown in the last three years, the Tiger record for this fall being eight wins against a single defeat at the hands of Ohio State. Despite yesterday's overwhelming loss at the hands of Missouri, Kansas, by virtue of wins over Kansas State and Iowa State, rests
Homecomers Defy Weatherman Carruth; Chi Omega Win
Don Faurot's Bowl-bound Tiger express from Columbia with little Harry Ice and big Bob Steuber running for touchdowns at will, crushed a valiant, but outmanned Kansas team 45 to 6 yesterday afternoon in Memorial Stadium. It was the first Jayhawk defeat in four home starts. The Kansas season record ends with three wins and six losses in nine games.
Although many of the events were run off in a cold, drizzling rain, committee members ran the activities off with clock-like precision.
Jupiter Pluvius did his worst, but failed miserably to dampen the spirits of Homecoming celebrators over the weekend.
The biggest float parade in the history of the event opened the festivities Friday night. Lead by Colonel James Dusenbury grand marshal, the paraders winded their way down Massachusetts street before an estimated audience of 4.000. silon, Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta and Kappa Kappa Gamma. Kappa Alpha Theta received
Three bands — the University, Haskell, and American Legion — took part in the parade. A huge snowball rolling over a Tiger player won first prize of ten dollars for Chi Omega in the float completion. Second prize of eight dollars was awarded to Sigma Alpha Epsilon; third place and seven dollars went to Alpha Tau Omega.
Awards Plentiful
Five dollar awards were won by Sigma Kappa, Theta Tau, Delta Tau Delta, Alpha Chi Omega, Delta Up-
Kappa Alpha Theta received three dollars for largest representation behind their float. Second prize of two dollars went to Phi Delta Theta. Judges were Mrs. Charles McCreight, Bob Calderwood, and C. C. Carl.
Immediately following the parade Eighth street was jammed by ralliers who heard Tom Collins, nationally-known humorist speak briefly. Gwinn Henry also spoke and commented: "This is the finest student body I have ever seen. Such spirit rarely exists."

assured of at least fourth place in the final Big Six standings. If Oklahoma downs Nebraska next Saturday, the Jayhawks will be tied for third place with the Cornhuskers in the final summaries. All in all, the 1941 football season stands as the most successful Kansas year in the conference since '37.
Long spectacular runs by Mizzou's brilliant backs, Ice and Steuber, were too much for Kansas to cope with,

'On the second play after the kickoff, slippery Ice scooted around the Jayhawk left end to race down the sidelines for 47 yards and then lateralled to tackle Bob Brenton who stepped the remaining three yards for a touchdown. Steuben place-kicked the extra point. Kansas took the ball and after Evans and Ray Niblo plunged their way to a first down, Miller kicked to Ice who fumbled on his own 22 and George Dick recovered for Kansas. Two ground and two pass plays failed and Missouri took over.
A triple lateral play with Reece finally carrying the ball, ended on the mid-field stripe for a total gain of 33 yards. On the next play, Steuber circled his own left end for 47 yards being knocked out of bounds by Miller on the K.U. three. Two plays later, Steuber smashed over center for a score.
For the next twenty minutes Missouri failed to score. During this (continued to page eight)
