Professors Cram'For Parents' Day Exam
By DON WELTY
University professors will squirm in vain under the thumb of Henry Werner, adviser of men, in the big entertainment feature of the evening Saturday at the nineteenth annual Parents' Day banquet.
HENRY WERNER —He's the official quiz whiz
Werner asserted today that more questions could be used than have been submitted. This is a good chance, Werner said, to be paid $1 and perhaps an addition 50 cents for the pleasure of baffling the professors who are constantly baffling the students.
Dean Werner will wield control over F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law; Dr. F. C. Allen, of the athletic department; Helen Rhoda Hoopes, of the English department; Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College; Prof. Waldemar Geltch, of School of Fine Arts; and Allen Crafton, of the speech and dramatics department, in the especially prepared quiz portion of the program. A miniature "Information, Please", the quiz wi llfind that students have turned the tables on the faculty victims by submitting the questions to stump them.
In addition to the quiz, the program will include singing by the Modern Choir, the men's and women's glee clubs and community singing to be judged by a "vocalometer" for volume and quality. The time set for the banquet is 6:30, and students who have not purchased their parents' tickets may do so at the Memorial Union building or the business office until noon Saturday. The extension of time, Werner asserted, was at the request of several students. The tickets will cost 65 cents each.

Scribe Sees 3-Ring Show For Weekend
By ED GARICH
A three-ring circus is a sissy compared to this week-end kiddies.
You're gonna see a killer-diller of a rally, a slam-bank football game, and a wind-up dance that will create more hot dogs than any greasy spoon proprietor ever saw in his most horrible nightmare.
On top of the above festivities proud poppas and mommas are going to visit the hallowed halls of old KU. to see how things are done by the present generation, and we have the high school journalists with us for their twenty-second annual convention. Some 350 of them.
Festivities got off to a fine start last night with a torchlight parade led by the Ku Kus and the Jay Janes. This morning at 10:20 we saw one of the biggest pep rallies we've seen in a long time. The boys and girls yelled.
This afternoon high school journalism students will see how it's done in the K.U. department, and at 5:45 o'clock they'll eat in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building.
Then, at 7:45, tonight, you'll see a nightshirt pep rally and parade that is an institution at the University. Men will don night garb, strictly according to Esquire, and do their colorful snake dance down the

Jayhawks Hope To End Foe's 44 - Year Streak
By BOB TRUMP Kansan Sports Editor
Loaded with dynamite from end to end and boasting two sets of the most versatile backs in the country, Nebraska's mighty red-shirted Cornhuskers will put a 44-year old victory streak on the block at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in Memorial stadium when they clash with Gwinn Henry's Kansas Jayhawks.
ED SUAGEE
—will fill fullback spot.
After losing to Minnesota in the season opener, the Huskers came back last week to defeat a strong Indiana team. The Jayhawks dropped their first contest of the year to Iowa State although outplaying their opponents

If all football games were won on paper, there wouldn't be much use in playing tomorrow's contest. The Huskers, with men four and five deep at every position, have one of the best teams in the nation. Most sports scribes have already conceded them the Big Six championship.
Huskers Defeat Indiana
Have Played 47 Games
Not since 1896, when Kansas triumphed over Nebraska 18 to 4 has a team from Mount Oread defeated the Cornhuskers at Lawrence. The Jayhawks conquered Nebraska four times at Lincoln between 1896 and 1916, but after the later date victories away from home also have escaped the Kansans.
Tomorrow's game will be the forty-seventh renewal of the Kansas-Nebraska rivalry. Of these games, Nebraska has won 34. Kansas has captured nine, and three have been ties.
