Thirty floats and stunts, accompanied by red flares and sulfur smoke, were entered in the competition for the 12 cash prizes.
First prize of $10 went to Theta Tau, engineering fraternity, with its huge slot machine. The big wheel spun around, and each time it stepped on three ears of corn, the pouring corncobs into the street.
"Keep Nebraska in the Cellar," the Beta Theta Pi contribution, won the third prize of $7. It showed a Cornhusker trying to get out of a cellar, while three Jayhawks guarded the door.
The Haskell Institute float, which was not eligible for cash prizes, received honorable mention and the praise of the judges. The float showed a group of Indians, in native attire, playing war drums outside their teenees.

Kansas Geological Societu Meets
Stars in Defeat
Dr. K. K. Landes, professor of geology, presided over a meeting of the Kansas Geological society in Haworth hall yesterday morning at which several members of the University geology staff read papers concerning projects on which they are now working.
For a season and a half now,
people have been talking of the
Shirk of 38—that is up until the
Aggie game last week. Since
that memorable battle and after
his brilliant performance yesterday,
people are talking of the
Shirk of 38,
The research papers were by Dr Raymond Moore, H. T. U. Summ, Walter H. Schowee, Raymond P. Keronher, J. Mark Jewett, and Wallace Lee. More than 60 members of the society attended the meeting.
For the past several years the meetings were regularly. Revival of the custom of holding annual meetings is anticipated, Dr Landes said.

Student Hoboes Show Pep
Committees on Class Reunions Meet
The pep rally,leading off the day's festivities, was a panhandler's paradise. Not to be frightened away by chilly weather and an unusual abundance of Friday afternoon tests, the hobbes throughed to the auditorium. They selected Bill Bandy, gr, and William to reign over them as king and queen.
Committees on planning for reunions of the classes of 1929 and 1914 at commencement next spring in the Memorial Union building.
Lacking neither spirit nor numbers, the event, which annually precedes the University's homecoming, was an enthusiastic answer to administration officials who had decommitted to the event but have discontinued it if not supported.
With visions of a Kansas football victory over Nebraska as a stimulant, Campus bums turned out by the hundreds Friday to revive a badly haled Hobo Day celebration. The visions, however, proved to be a burn steer.
Clarence Muns of Topeka, president of the class of 1923, and Webster Holloway of Kansas City, Mo., presi- dent of the class of 1936, men of their respective committees.
Between numbers by the University band, there were speeches and yells. Coach Ad Lindsay, captain of the 1916 team, last Kansas team to defeat Nebraska, told students he didn't like to be referred to as the captain of the 1916 team, last team to defeat Nebraska. Ferrell Anderson, Jayhawker guard who was captain for yesterday's contest, revealed
the team was going to win the game "for themselves."
Julie Henry, daughter of Director of Athletics, Gwinn Henry, led a "Kansas" feminine touch football team to victory over a "Nebraska" team of the same sex, headed by Denny Lemoine.
The scene adjourned to the Memorial Union ballroom where Clyde Smith directed a band composed of musicians from his and Louie Kuhn's orchestra in a snappy hobo dance team. The band played by the player, was awarded the Schiller Shore award for having grown the longest beard.
Kansas Outplays Foe, But Breaks Cost I6-7 Defeat
- Jayhawkers Show Big Edge in Statistics But Biff Jones' Team Takes Advantage of Opportunities To Gain Decisive Margin: 16.000 Homecoming Fans Witness Annual Grudge Battle
By Les Kappelman, c'39 Kansan Sports Editor
Old Man Jinx crossed his fingers in the last three minutes—just as he did at Lincoln last year, and consequently turned an apparent well-earned 7 to 6 Kansas victory into a crushing 16 to 7 defeat by the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Sixteen thousand patrons, including old grads and a large Nebraska delegation, were on hand to share in the chills, thrills, spills, and finally the heartaches which the game presented.
Absentee Voters Booth Set Up
Although Kansas piled up a total of 11 first downs to 4 for
★ Non-Resident Students
Must Make Affidavits
To Cast Ballots
A special polling booth for absentee voters has been set up in the Douglas county courthouse. Here residents of Kansas living in prefects other than those in Lawrence may cast their vote with but little inconvenience in the general election Tuesday.
A student who is a resident of Kansas, but not of Lawrence, must make an affidavit that he is a legal voter and that he has not cast a previous vote in same election, whereupon he will receive the same ballot as is given the resident voter. The affidavit is filed in the courthouse.
The state ballot is voted the same as if it were to be cast in any other precinct, except for the congressional section, if he lives in a district other than the second. The name of the congressional candidate from the voter's home district must be filled in.
If the absentee voter desires to cast a county ballot, he may obtain a Douglas county ballot and write in the names of the home-county candidates for whom he intends to vote. An X must indicate the vote for the candidate, even though his name has been written in.
Students who are residents of Lawrence must vote in the precincts where they are registered. Residents must follow their own state voting laws.
'Lilium` Closes Run Before Large Crowd
"Idilam", first dramatise production of the year, closed a successful four night run Thursday with the team "Only" sign hanging on the door.
University audiences gave Molnar's epic a warm reception during its entire run and Fraser theater was on each night from Monday to Thursday.
Rollua Nuckle, of the department of speech and dramatic art, directed the play which included a brilliant cast headed by Mary Robbileyn Scott and Prof. Alen Crafton. Other featured members of the cast were: Jessica Martinez, Prof. Robert Cadderdier, Betty Smith, Baird Porter, and Bob Rhode.
"Lilium" required seven complete changes of scenery which were made with unusual rapidity and silence by a crew of workers under the direct supervision of a staff department. No change required longer than 45 seconds between curtains, which establishes some sort of a record in the local drama world.
Faculty Members to Offices
The Lawrence Kiwanis Club elected two members of the University faculty to offices at a recent meeting. W. H. Schoewe, associate professor of geology, was elected one member of the School of Engineering and Architecture, was elected a director.
irs opponents and decisively inss them in every department except scoring, the white-clad Huskers were quick to seize the breaks and convert them into points.
And sadly enough, it was a boy from the Sunflower state who toed the game-winning placeck which a Kansas fumble by fullback Eldreth Cadwalader made possible in the last three minutes of play. The ball was recovered on the 28-yard line, and after six plays was resting on the 8-yard marker, directly in front of the goal posts. Bill Andreson, 185-pound senior fullback who calls hawksville, has hit the 15-yard stripe and booted the ball squarely over the crossbar to put his team into the lead, 9 to 7.
Nebraska Scores on Sneak Play
Nebraska had earlier scored midway in the first period when her Hornig, squat elusive safety for the Huskers, took a Max Replogle point on his own 33-yard run from the footed Jack Dodd on a reverse. The Jayhawks were completely sucked over to the right side of the field, and in the meantime Mr. Dodd was wasting no time in going to town. Behind an escort of four interfereers he cut over to the west sideline and passed under Bobrig's attempted placement fallout, and the Huskers led, 6 to 0.
Thereafter, the hard play of the Kansas line held the Nebraskans in check, and the Jayhawks three times knocked at the enemy door, only to be unceremoniously turned away without a counter. Work by Dave Shirk at left end stood out like the morning star the next two periods. He murdered the interference and spilled the ball carriers time after time. Steve Reno at the other end, and Captain Ferrel Anderson in the line also showed brilliantly.
Kansas Comes Back
Finally late in the third period at Kansas broke came. Masoner received a punt on his own 36-yard line and by some fancy jumping and kicking, he bucked the tacklers who bore down on him. He continued 38 yards up the field until the Husker safety forced him out-of-bounds on the Nebraska 24-17.

to Amerine carried it to the 3. Cadwalader finally punched it over from there.
It was this same Cadwalder who had the opportunity to feel both the hot and cold of football fortunes all in the same day. He rose to the top of the team, scoring the score to tie the ball game up, but sank to the other extreme when
