The automobile in which the women were riding was owned by Miss Newlin and was being driven by her.
All three were unconscious when picked up. They were rushed to the University hospital where it was revealed that Miss Schmieter was suffering from a badly fractured nose, a cut on her face, and bruises on her legs and ankles. Miss Newlin sustained a cut on her chin, and bruises. Miss Shockley escaped with no laceries but was shocked and bruised. She was dismissed from the hospital last night.
Two cars from the east, one attempting to pass the other, confronted the students as they tapped the hill just east of Eudora. According to Miss Schiemer all three drivers endeavored to swerve off the highway in an effort to avoid the collision, but the students' automobile was sideswiped by the car attempting to pass.
Miss Newlin and Miss Schmierer will probably be released from the hospital the latter part of the week.

Did you ever wander about war as it really is? Not the story book kind or the waving of flags and a beating of drums, but actual war in all the hell that it is. But did you ever try to get a World War veteran to tell you about the war? They won't tell you about the buddies they saw blown to bits, or of the spattered faces, or shot-away arms and legs, or of the men who died because they got sick from fear and removed their gas masks, or of the fear-crazed dreams some of them still have. When they come to their shoulders and those on their backs they are not to talk about, or try to tell you of the time they swiped some Frog's cow. We don't blame them for not talking. We may not feel like taking either.

Part of the white man's eternal troubles may be explained by the following squib by Irwin S. Cobb:
"Well, Mr. Dallas, I reckon it'd iisere way; a White man gits hisself into a passel of trouble an' he sets down an' thinks and thinks about it until he takes himself. A nigger man gets in trouble an' he sets down an' he thinks an' thinks an' after a wile he goes to sleep."
"Jeff, why is it you never hear of a darky committing suicide?"

Wanted-information. We have received the following clipped taken from the Boston Globe, and the sender desires facts about figures.
"Ten days before her departure for Lawrence, Kan., to enter the e University of Kansas, an El Dorado girl discovered that four dresses she had planned to wear to classes were tight. Realizing how much work would be entailed in modeling the frocks, she arose at reducing diet, taking it carefully, and when she left for school the dresses fitted her perfectly."
The lady in Boston believes that if the diet did this in ten days, she should be able to reclaim most of her clothes within a year. If the young lady from El Dorado can remember what she didn't eat, the information will be forwarded to a fellow sufferer.

Asian Trip Topic Of Talk Mrs. Carter Harrison Speaks to Quill Club On Travels
"I went to what was probably the first and last horse race in Persia," remarked Mrs. Carter Harrison, wife of the Rev. Carter Harrison, minister of the Episcopal church here, in recounting some of her experiences in Asia at the weekly meeting of Quill Club last Thursday evening.
Continuing, she explained that the shah of India had decided that it might be a good thing to make horse racing a national sport, and accordingly had sent out an agent to obtain western racing sheets and magazines. A race track was laid out on the desert, and elaborate prepare-works made. People had come from miles around to witness the event, although it was of course understood that the shah's horse would win.
Wandering Tribe Camps
The night before the race a wandered tribe from "the other side of the world" camped near the track The shah, realizing that they were not alone in the wilderness might be offended if not invited to attend, asked them to enter a horse
They shaggy creature, half again as tall as the excellently groomed horses of Arabian blood which various princes had entered, streaked down the track to win the race. A great hush fell over the spectators. Since then horseracing has never been encouraged in Persia.
Visits with Ghandi
One of Mrs. Harrison's friends, a journalist, was ejected from Persia for having played in the humorous side of the situation in a local paper.
Mrs. Harrison, who traveled for several years in the far East, told of her trip to central India for a visit with Ghandi. She told of her visit to the tomb of Lenin in the great square of Lengnigrad, of being carried by coolies up 70,000 high, narrow steps to a monastery on top of a Chinese shrine, and of their precious descent in a high wind.
For a brief period she talked on the League of Nations, having visited Switzerland when it was contained there. In turn, she wrote "These are the things I should have written about if I were a journalist."

Tomorrow Night
Leaving Paris, Mrs. Wilkins went to Italy where, for three years, she did advanced study and sang in many operatic performances, making her debut in Rossini's "Barber of Seville." When she returned to America, Mrs. Wilkins was placed under contract for four years as leading soprano with the Theater concerto. For two summers she sang the principal roles it the St. Louis municipal opera. 'Queen of the Night'
Hardly anyone could be found from approximately 700 dancers at the Sophomore Hop Friday night who was not enthusiastic in praising 'en Pollack's orchestra.
Ben Pollock Makes a Hit With Sophomore Hop Crowd
Among her numbers tomorrow night, Mrs. Wilkins will sing the famous "Queen of the Night" aria from Mozart's "Magic Flute," considered to be the most formidable aria in all coloratura literature.
Before coming to the University, he was head of the piano departments in Baylor College, Texas Women's College, Shoreter College, and Tulsa University. In addition to concert appearances in many cities, including Chicago, Nashville, Memphis, Dallas, and Atlanta, he is also the author of several symphonies and Cincinnati symphony orchestra. Five Brahms Selections
A search for the dancer who did not enjoy the party would h ave proved as difficult as the proverbial quest for the needle in a haystack that made the swing thrown of Pollack a decided hit with the crowd.
Mr. Taylor, who will appear in two groups of piano solos, has been a member of the faculty since 1924 A graduate of the College of Fine Arts of the Syracuse University, Mr. Taylor engendered an important teacher as Rafael Josselyf, Ernest Hutchinson, and Robert Schmitz.
In her first group, Mrs. Wilkins will sing five Brahms selections which include "Anne Eaileacshel," "Madeenlled," "Theeres," "Regemlied," and "Auf dem Schiffe." "Paipions" (Schumann), consisting of short pieces like Ink-like character, will be Mr. Taylor's first group.
Although the expected "battle of sands," which created wide interest in the party and was the principal reason for the large attendance, did not materialize, there was, nevertheless, a lot of interest among students and certainly never a dull moment in Pollock's music.
Mozart's "Magic Flute," precede by a recitation, "Zittite Night, Mein Lieber Sohn," will be Mrs. Wilkins' second group. The "Wind on the Plain," "General Lavine," and "Reverie" (all Debussy), and "Tocata" (Saint-Saens), are Mr. Taylor's "Mad Serena," and "Mad Scars," from "Lusia di Lammermoor" (Donizetti) will be sung by Mrs. Wilkins.
Musicians of Arlie Simmond's band, second party in the musical mix-up, were present for about 30 minutes at the start of the dance in order to fulfill their contract, but did not play.
At intermission time, the general attertion for conversation was the music and a question often heard was, "What do you think of the band?" In many cases, the answer was, "The sickest thing I've heard in a long time," was the opinion of one student, a veteran party-goer. "You don't need to know any steps to
A report from the national musicians union, which includes members of the Red Blackburn and Louie Kuhn groups, following a second consideration of the case, resummed a previous agreement to be valid, and that both bands were eligible to receive payment for the engagement.
There had been no further developments last night in the contract dispute between Simmonds and the dance management. As yet, no payment has been made to the Simmonds organization, Jack Townsend, student manager of the Union building said.
Pollack himself won ringing apause when he laid aside his bator to perform at the drums. His presentation of his own composition "Peckin," was enthusiastically received.
dance tonight. This music just naturally pushes you along."
The original contracts, signed by Townsend, called for $280 for Simmonds and $500 for Pollack. The two bands had been submitted previously to Townsend by Paul Kihm varsity dance manager, for the final decision. Later Townsend notified Simmonds' agents cancelling his contract. The agents refused to acknowledge the cancellation, contending that mutual agreement (necessary for such a move).

Owl Will
'Flutter' Forth
25th Anniversary Issue
To Be Published This
Friday
Comparisons of college life and art of 1812 and of today, accompanied by illustrations by Carol Johnson, fa38, will be featured in the 25th Anniversary issue of the Sour Owl when it futters forth on the Campus next Friday from its Memorial Union nest.
Ups and downs have made up the history of this critical bird, ever since its inception, way back in 1912, by the Owl Society, junior men's honorary organization. For a year or two it was kept secret by the six members of the original staff, and made its formal appearance. November, 1914, at a football smoker. Yellow paper was selected by its editors as the most attractive and becoming color for a periodical as important as theirs was to be at that time.
A name had to be found and as all work was done secretly at night, "The Owl Publishing company" became the operating organization with the "Sour Owl" for its magazine. It came off the press about the time of the last football game of the year, so the publishers decided to let their pet fly at the smoker which was held after the game.
University authorities began investigating the source of this new "bird" that had the audacity to fly around the Campus without their knowledge or consent. After a bit of investigation by Chancellor Strong, and by the student auditor, the matter was dropped, as no convincing information as to the identity of the "culprit" was forthcoming
This only stimulated added interest and sales, and made it easy for the next issue to be a complete sell-out.
The Owl Publishing company was later changed to the Sour Owl representative committee, which had charge for a number of years. In the spring of 1924, the publication of the magazine was turned over to Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity.

Jayhawkers Lose First Big Six Tilt
Oklahoma Comes From Behind To Win in Last Two Minutes of Play 49 to 46
McNatt Sooner Star
Fred Praile, veteran all-Big Six guard, led the scoring for the team team with 5 field goals and 5 free throws for a total of 15 points. He was followed closely by two sophomore forwards, Sullivan and Ebling, who scored 11 and 10 points respectively.
McNatt, sophomore Soorer forward, was the big gun in the Oklahoma attack. This classy goal shooter, easily distinguished by a
The Oklahoma Sooners turned the tables on Kansas Friday night and gained revenge for the "three seconds to play" defeat handed them by the Jayhawkers in the last football season by coming from behind in the last two minutes of play to win, 49 to 40. The game was interesting to the spectators due to the closeness of play, the lead changing five times, but the Kansas play was far from the standard exhibited by Jayhawk championship teams of the past.

his total for the JIMMY MCNAIT evening to 16, points which was good for individual scoring honors of the game. Walker, Mesch, and Martin also scored consistently with 10, 9, and 7 points respectively.
It was Martin who was the engineer of the Sooner court game. He is the only regular back on a team composed mostly of sophomores, and he acted as a steadying influence on the team's good share of the Oklahoma scores.
the final Sooner rally, Kansas had a lead of 38 to 32 with 7 minutes of the second half gone. Walker, another Oklahoma sophomore, made a field goal on a up-and cut the ball in two 2 points. Here Mesch, high-scor

38-28 at the Half
However, Hunt, diminutive Kansas forward, fouled Martin, who converted on 2 free attempts, and a later little McNitt swished on from out near the middle of the court to tie the score, 38 to 18, with half of the period gone. Kansas took the lead again when Martin made his fourth personal and Ebling made 1 of his 2 attempts and the Oklahoma cause seemed dark with both Mesh Martin and Martin out of the hallace. Roop had a chance to increase the lead when fouled by Roop, substitute Sooner sophomore, but his single attempt rolled out of the rim.
At this point, McNatt again captured the elusive lead for Oklahoma when he dribbed in for a 2-pointer. He scored twice and Jawkerswah with a tip-in and increased it to 42-40 on Roe's foul. Follend and Mullen then mixed up it
