Chemistry Profs Attend Meeting
Ten members of the University faculty went to Kansas City last night for the regular monthly meeting of the Kansas City section of the American Chemical Society.
At the nomination of officers in the society for the coming year, three members of the University faculty were named. Dr. A. W. Davidson, professor of chemistry, E.B. Henry Werner, adviser of men and associate professor of chemistry, were nominated for the chairmanship of the governing body. Dr. R. Q. Brewster, professor of chemistry, was nominated for councilor. Results of the election are not yet known.
Pick Queen Attendants For Tigers
At least one University of Missouri co-ed will be grateful to the Kansas football team even if the Jayhawkers beat the Tigers in their homecoming game Thursday. The Kansas gridders had the pleasant task of selecting her as the Missouri Homecoming queen from a field of eight.
Pictures were given to the Kansas team enroute home from Washington Sunday by the Missouri homecoming committee. Poring over the photographs on the train, the footballers picked the queen and four attendants.
The selections were rushed back to Tigerland by airmail. The Jayhawks now hope that the queen reciprocates by smiling down favorably from her throne before the game begins.
Fencers Enjoy Winning Trip
After a profitable weekend which saw 11 victories chalked up, the fencing team of the University of Kansas is looking for new fields to conquer. One new field may present itself Nov. 29 if present plans for matches with the Kansas City, Mo. Y. M.C.A. materialize.
But to get back to the weekend. In the afternoon combat, Bill Bolt led the Jayhawks with three victories as they triumphed over a stubborn Lightening Foils crew of Wichita, where the matches were played. The total score read 6 to 3 for Kansas.
In the evening Coach Jim Rapport said the Kansans showed signs of tiring but they still had enough energy left to out-maneuver the threesome from Friends University and win by a count of 5 to 4. Fred Lawson and Haven Glassmire, the other two Jayhawkers making the trip with Raport, starred in this victory with two victories each out of their three individual matches.
Three members of the department of drawing and painting staff have been invited with four other Kansas artists to contribute examples of their work to a nation-wide exhibit to be held in Washington, D.C., during the last week of November.
Invite Kansas Artists To Submit Paintings
Prof. Albert Bloch and associate professors Raymond Eastwood and Karl Mattern were invited to contribute one picture each to the exhibit, being held as a part of National Art Week.
Freshman basketball practice has not altered its course from the original pattern set down by Coach Gordon Gray in early sessions and that is constant drilling on basic fundamentals.
Gray Grooms Frosh For Varsity Game
Gray is grooming his men in preparation for the varsity-freshman tilt which is scheduled for Dec. 6. Those men seeing most frequent action on Gray's mythical first five are Charlie Black, Jack Ballard, George Phillips, Bill Brill, and Paul Turner. Other players offering rugged resistance are Bob Fitzpatrick, Bob Abrams, Max Kissel, Jack Beck, Dick Keene, and Tom Harris.
Ray Evans and Don Ettinger are two members of the freshman football squad who will bolster the freshman starting lineup against the varsity. Several other members of the football squad will report for practice in December and will undoubtedly see action in the game providing, said Gray, "That their grade average is a C or better in all courses."
Two Vacations Still On Books
There will be two more vacations for University students before Christmas. The first is next Thursday when the football team engages Missouri on their Thanksgiving, Nov. 21.
The Thanksgiving vacation will begin Wednesday noon, Nov. 27.
Classes will be resumed Monday morning, Dec. 2.
Two Changes Made In Grid Contest
In order to simplify the Jay-hawker theater's "Know Your K.U.Varsity Football Squad" contest, two major changes have been made in the contest rules.
Hereafter, contestants need not deposit blanks when leaving the theater on contest night but may turn them in at the lobby anytime during the following week. Thus contestants may consult any medium of information they desire before filling out their entries.
Entrants hereafter will not be required to use the printed contest blanks. They may fill out the necessary information on any kind of paper as long as the contestant's name and address are written on it.
The theater management points out that under these rules it is possible for anyone to win the $25 cash prize or the $50 in theater tickets. In case of a tie, a drawing will determine the winner.

Delt's lost the services of John Wells who suffered a foot injury. Wells is close to being the finest kicker in intramural. Saveley and Harry Smith were Sig Ep standouts while Kern and D. Haynes starred for the Phi Delt's.
Dick Pierce intercepted a Sigma Chi pass and ran 24 yards for the first Beta tally. A quarter later, Geiger, Beta back, heaved the pigskin to Stoland to give the Beta's a 12 point halftime lead. The Sigma Chi's retaliated later in the fourth period with Beeler plunging the Beta line for a score.

mages. "He should be one of the greatest players ever produced from Kansas if he continues to improve and use his height to the best advantage", said Allen.
Allen drilled his squad on the value of the hook pass in practice last night as he continued his search for the right offensive group. No single combination was used extensively in practice but Vance Hall led the Whites to a 28 to 24 victory over the Reds as he tallied 14 points. Bob Allen followed his team-mates with four baskets to his credit.
Hallberg Shows Improvement
Allen commented on the decided improvement in practice of John Hallberg, sophomore from Kansas City, Mo., who has been utilizing his six feet, seven inches to the greatest advantage in rebound work in scrim-
Set plays and the post plays from a fast break were stressed as was the floating front line offense which keeps the forwards and center continually moving. Allen announced that he will have the first practice of the season in Hoch auditorium this Thursday and that he will alternate the practice sites thereafter.
RENEW HISTORIC---

In injuries to several players in the Sooner game may keep the Tigers below par. On the casualty list are Don Greenwood, end, Darold Jenkins, center, Ralph Carter, back, Bob Wakeman, tackle, and Jerry Notowitz, back. However, Myron Counsil, fullback, and Vernon Lightfoot, tackle, return to the active list for the first time in weeks.
After looking at movies of the George Washington game the Kansas squad worked out until dark last night. Offensive formations were brushed up in the first part of the session. Later the reserves scrimmaged against the freshmen. The regulars did not participate in contact work.
Practice Ends Tonight
The short week of practice ends tonight for the Jayhawkers. They will leave at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon by train for Columbia. For the first time in weeks Kansas will invade an enemy camp with few serious injuries from previous games. Quido Massare and Marvin Vandaveer, ailing in the last three games, are in near top condition again.
However, Don Pierce, star Kansas center, is hobbling about the practice field this week with a sprained ankle which he received in the George Washington game. Team officials were unable to say last night how many minutes Pierce would be able to play against Missouri.
