39th YEAR
Embattled Intruders Hogtied ★★★ ★★★ Amazons Dunk Males
Amazon women turned the tables on men Friday at the Puff Pant Prom, when the "inner sanctum" of the ballroom was invaded by Bill Hancock and Harry Grimshaw.
Complete with costume of the opposite sex, excepting to footwear, they sauntered in, began dancing and as far as the stag line was concerned became quite the belles of the ball." what fun it would be
That doesn't mean they got away with anything. An undercurrent of plotting circled the room, and nine o'clock saw them hootied with a handy lasso and their own scarfs.
Perhaps it was a case of "When in trouble keep a stiff upper lip-stick," but it washed off in Potter's lake.
To quote Grimshaw, "I didn't know women could be so rough."
NO.41
It was Hancock's idea. A six-footer, he giggled and snorted about
what fun it would be. Stealthily he and husky Grimshaw borrowed clothes at the Kappa Alpha Theta house and set out to break precedent.
It was done to them instead. Icy cold and dripping, they called from the Memorial Union basement for help. Uninformed brothers at the other end just laughed. The episode ended as they thawed out themselves and their borrowed finery over a steaming radiator in the men's room, safe from Amazons.
Kansas Loses No.5
M.S.C. Strikes
Nab Cigsmoker
A faculty member made the complaint, complaining he saw a student smoking in the forbidden area of Watson library. The Council did not announce either the name of the student or the faculty member who brought the charge.
A violation of the smoking law has been reported to the Men's Student Council, Dave Watermulder, president, stated yesterday. The Council has referred the case to the Student Supreme Court.
Follies Adds Mad Musician
Follies Succumbs To Movie Offers
In addition to this act, Dr. E. R Elibel, manager of the show, has announced the booking of three more.
Many are the times that the applause meter has rung loud and long for Jan Chiapusso at his piano recitals but he will probably wow the audience with his portrayal of the "Mad Musician" at the Faculty Follies next Wednesday and Thursday nights in Fraser theater.
Alice Sherbon Bauman, former student who taught a dancing school in Lawrence for several years, will present a specialty dance number.
It is reliably reported that Brooks

Mephitis
Bulled In

Mephitis tried to raise his social status by pouncing on every mouse and cockroach that came within his grasp but, still desperate measures were taken to eject the little character.
For the past week and a half, a repugnant character named Mephitis, (obviously an alias) has been making himself obnoxious in the sub-basement of Hoch auditorium. He wandered in some time ago, blandly ignored the outraged protests of three janitors, located himself under a stack of chairs, and set up light housekeeping.

Marie Wilkins Sings for Met Contract Today
One of the Hill's outstanding artists, Marie Wilkins, wife of Prof. Joseph Wilkins, will sing on the Sherwin Williams program "Auditions of the Air" which will be broadcast this afternoon at 4:00 p.m. over the NBC network.
Mrs. Wilkins is one of three chosen for this broadcast, who sang auditions for maestro Pelletier, Metropolitan opera conductor. The other two chosen were Miss Maxine Martin, contralto, and James F. Mack, tenor, both of Kansas City.
Mrs. Wilkins, a lyric-coloratura soprano, is a graduate of Cornell University and was the first American singer to win the Diploma de Chant from the Schola Cantorum in Paris. She later studied in Italy, and made her debut in Rossini's "Barber of Seville" in that country. She sang for four years in Shubert theater enterprises, appearing in the lead of over 700 performances of "Blossom Time" with Professor Wilkins. She also performed two years with the St. Louis Municipal Opera, singing lead parts in the productions of that organization.
A Trophy Not Posts To Victor
The winner of the Kansas State Kansas University football game next Saturday will get, it is the fervent hope of the M.S.C., a trophy instead of the loser's goalposts, Dave Watermulder, president of the M.S.C., said yesterday.
Watermulder indicated that the Council was completing plans for the presentation of the trophy after the final gun Saturday. The winning school will then keep it for the ensuing year.
Jayhawk-Wildcat student councils met in a peace conference at Manhattan and devised the plan as a way to eliminate and game demonstration-
Awarding the trophy was instituted last year as a peace move between the two Kansas schools.

Morgantown, W. Va. — (Special) — Mixing up a deceptive running attack with a clicking aerial offense, the West Virginia Mountaineers, paced by a brilliant halfback, Dick McElwee, had what it takes in pinning a 21-0 defeat on the Kansas Jayhawkers. The game was played on a slippery field in Morgantown, West
Kansan Checks Henry J. Allen Witch Hunt
It was learned that Winchell was referring to a man named Henry D. Allen, whom the radio reporter labeled as a "leader of the White Guard." Winchell also used the phrases "ex-convict" and "not a patriot" in speaking of Henry D. Allen.
When Walter Winchell, radio and newspaper reporter referred to a Henry D. Allen in his radio news program of Sunday, Oct. 19, he was not referring to former governor Henry J. Allen.
Henry J. Allen, former senator from Kansas and new head of Save the Children Federation, was in no way mentioned or referred to by Winchell.
That information was learned by the Daily Kansan late yesterday afternoon after it had made use of United Press Association wires to check back on the exact text of Winchell's comment.
The investigation by the Daily Kansas was instituted at the behest of Prof. A. J. Mix, chairman of the Jayhawk Shelter committee, who feared that students and

Unofficial figures on individual feats finds "Rifling" Ralph Miller completing 5 out of 10 passes for a total of 66 yards. Sophomore Ray Evans was Kansas' leading ground gainer, carrying the ball eight times for 32 yards, an average of four yards per try.
Dick McElwee, Virginia's star, returned six kicks for an average return of 15½ yards per kick, and it was McElwee's splendid running that featured the Mountaineer triumph.
It was the Mountaineers fourth win in seven starts and the Jayhawks fifth loss in seven games. Gwinn Henry's boys are unbeaten at home, and will close the season in Lawrence with Kansas State and Missouri as their remaining opponents.
Score in Every Quarter
Scoring in every period, Bill Kern's eleven had too much power for Kansas. After an exchange of punts in the opening minutes of the ball game, West Virginia marched to the K.U. 19-yard line. Bob Hagen, stellar Kansas end, recovered a Mountaineer fumble, only to see his teammate, Ray Niblo, fumble the pigskin back to the Easterners.
The Kern-coached team moved to the Kansas three-yard line, and after three plays failed, halftback Schrader booted a field goal from (continued to page eight)
Alums Will Round-up
★★
Two hundred alumni, principally from northeastern Kansas, will begin gathering at 3 o'clock this afternoon in the Memorial Union building for an alumni "round-up."
The event will be the first of several such round-ups planned by Justice Hugo T. Wedell, Alumni Association president, and adopted by the association board. Should the events prove successful this year, they will be enlarged to become a permanent part of alumni activities.
Fred Ellsworth, Alumni Association secretary, reported "fine response" on the part of graduates in the northeastern portion of the state during his recent trip through that section. He stated that a large
Kansas City, Mo., delegation is planning to attend.

JUSTICE HUGO WEDELL
Students and their parents, as well as alumni and faculty members, are invited to attend the round-up, Ellsworth said. "Its purpose," he added, "is to get all groups connected with the University acquainted with one another."
Furnishing the day and evening's entertainment will be the Three Trumpeteers, Clarence Peterson's Modern Choir, the University A Capella Choir, and Minerva Davis, fine arts senior.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott and Justice Wedell will address the group. Open houses will be held for the visitors at the men's dormitories, the health service, and the museums.
