K.U. Cripples Prepare For M.U.
Big Day Arrives Within 24 Hours
Emphasis in this issue, Miss Dodge commented, has been directed at using more pictures, more features, and more gossip than were contained in the first issue of the revitalized humor publication. Two picture-story features in the Homecoming edition are presentations of duck hunting and fall intramurals. In addition, specifications of new Hill men will be contained in the Owl in a list corresponding to the women's classification list in the last issue.

will be enlivened by college songs sung by Clarence Peterson's Modern Choir.
Just 24 hours from now Kansas University will begin the staging of its own version of the Mardi Gras - Homecoming. All roads will lead to Lawrence tomorrow and Saturday, as alumni join students, faculty members, and townspeople in the two-day celebration.
At 7:05 the traditional float parade will start rolling from the South park down Massachusetts street. This year's edition of the event will be, according to the committee chairman, Sgt. William Kollender, "the biggest and best ever held."
Colored lighting effects will be featured this year. For a brief period the downtown lights will be turned off, so that onlookers can view the colorful spectacle to the best advantage. Colonel James Dusenbury, professor of military science, will act as parade marshal. Outdoor Pep Rally
Activities will be officially launched with a radio program to be broadcast at 6 p.m. over KFKU. Gwinn Henry, Hub Ulrich, and other campus figures will be heard. The program
The parade will wind up at Kentucky and Eighth streets, where participants and spectators will join in a gigantic outdoor pep rally to be broadcast by station WREN.

Features
Reminding everyone of the disappearance of the last copy of the preceding edition of the magazine by noon on the day it was issued, Miss Dodge pointed out that again there would be a limited supply, and that distribution would follow the rule of "first come, first served."
The best way to assure yourself of a copy of the Homecoming edition of the Sour Owl, says editor Betsy Dodge, is to bring two dimes to classes with you tomorrow morning, wait until one of the crew of 20 Hill beauties approaches you, and accept her proposition, "Buy a copy of the Sour Owl?"

Bob Fluker, Jayhawk guard and Summerfield scholar, was elected chairman of the committee formed by the Men's Student Council and Women's Self-Governing Association to 'build greater unity between students and the administration' at the first meeting of the group last night in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building.

Ulrich May Not Play;
Kansas Hopes Sag
Jayhawk hopes for an upset victory over Missouri in the Homecoming Day game, Saturday, hit a new low today when it became known that Hub Ulrich, Kansas' great left end, probably would be unable to see any action against the Tigers.

Her three Missouri attendants will also be crowned at the ceremony. They are Marion Blakeley, Marjorie Smith, and Marguerite Fitzgerald.

Ann Sibley, comely Missourian, will be crowned the "Tiger's Claws Tigress Queen" by Governor Forrest Donnell in Memorial stadium between halves of the football game Saturday afternoon.
She will serve as an emissary of good-will to the University through out the Homecoming activities tomorrow and Saturday. Miss Sibley will ride in the parade and appear at the rally tomorrow night and will later attend the "honky-tonk" dance in Robinson gym.
The Queen and Her Attendants
NANCY NEVILLE
MARGARET MARY SCHOLES
MARY LOUISE LOCKHART
Mary Louise Lockhart, Pi Beta Phi, will reign as 1941 Homecoming Queen. The selection was announced today by Wayne Davidson, publicity director of the queen committee. Miss Lockhart, a college junior, will be attended by Nancy Neville, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Margaret Mary Scholes, Kappa Kappa Gamma. The attendants are college freshman and junior, respectively. The newly-selected queen will be crowned by Governor Payne Ratner between halves of the Kansas-Missouri game Saturday afternoon. She is from Wichita, and succeeds Greta Gibson, Gamma Phi Beta, 1940 queen. The selection was made by a committee of Lawrence Junior Chamber of Commerce members at a luncheon held earlier this week. Most of the judges were alumni of the University. Bob Oyler, class of '35, served as chairman of the selection committee. Miss Neville's home is in Kansas City, Mo., while Miss Scholes lives in Council Grove. The queen and her attendants will ride in an open car in the float parade beginning at 7:95 tomorrow night. They will also appear later at the "Honky-tony" dance.
being able to play Saturday brought Coach Gwinn Henry little encouragement.
The specialist's opinion was that the injury would reach the maximum in pain Friday and that Ulrich probably would not be able to use his arm much for a while. Hub is practically unable to move his left arm at present.
Long and Tenenbaum, both suffering with ankle injuries, reported for practice last night, but neither was able to move around with alacry. The coaches do not believe that either man will have rounded into shape to play by Saturday.
The injury occurred in a gym class where the instructor was using Ulrich as a subject on which to demonstrate wrestling technique. One of the tricks demonstrated resulted in Hub being jerked off his feet and landing on his shoulder.
Three More on Sidelines
On the sidelines with Ulrich will be three other regulars, Gene Long and Jack Tenenbaum, tackles, and "Red" Ettinger, fullback. Ettinger made the trip to Kansas City with Ulrich and was told by the bone specialist that he could play without much chance of re-injuring his back, but Coach Henry is not expected to use the red-head.
