ORIGIN OF HOMECOMING GAMES IS MYSTERY TO FOUNDERS
First Celebration Held in 1913; Doc Yak and Ku-Ku's Followed Six Years Later
The origin of Homecoming games at Kansas is a mystery. Even those who arranged the first Homecoming program have forgotten why the custom was adopted at this school. Illinois was one of the first schools, and at least two of the schools that adopted the homecoming custom. The first Homecoming game at Kansas was in 1913.
The first celebration, which was under the guiding hand of Alfred "Scoop" Hill of Arkansas City, seemed for a while to be the last saint, with the new tradition of awarding a word, school loyalty and feeling were practically overshadowed by the strength of the national spirit shown at that time. It was not until 1919, under the direction of H.B. Hungerford, that Homecoming was revived. To this game were invited all the old McCook alumni. The outstanding feature of the celebration was the Thanksgiving game held on the old McCook field.
Although Holo day was first held in 1894 in the form of a beer-bust in Kansas City, the first celebration in the present form took place in 1922 with a special convoction, music by the band, a bobo dance, and special costuming. In 1923, the event moved to 1925. A concert given by the K.U.M. UG Clubes, was held at this M. time as was the "Old Time's Night" celebration.
Doc Yak, founded by C. C. Carl and Bob Rowland, also came into being in 1920 as a graduate student of Ku's that year for the purpose of instilling more pep into the student body. Again, in 1920, a celebration was held. Lopenville merchants decorated their stores. This year in remembrance of his late wife, Anita, he met with Nebraska. Special celebration on the day preceding Homecoming was introduced in 1921, when the men of the University held a special ball-fest for "men only." A parade and all-uni-
In 1926, the organized houses started

Hero Cheered And Villain Booed At Jitney Road Show
decorating for Homecoming. Gymnastium exhibits were also given and a large special edition of the Kansan was published.
An audience of about twelve hundred persons hissed, booed, and pounded the floor last night at the Jitney Players' performance of "The Streets of New York." a road show rendered in true 'mininet' style.
This year the University is celebrating the sixteenth Homecoming celebration, with Hobo day, the freshman game, only, and the Big game with Nebraska.
The hero, a personable young man properly assisted by his headdress, wooed and won the dulest-viowed young lady of his dreams, Lucy Fairlawner. Her family, homely and trusting, had been impoverished through the willful efforts of woodworker Gil. Falls Street whore whose worker had designed the womand of the hero.
The Puffy family, victims of overexpansion, were refreshingly cheerful about their plight, in contrast with the suicidal gloom of the Fatewoulders. The cast — who played their lines and gave vent to extravagant gestures. Their spirit of abandonment communicated itself to the audience, who cheered the but not horrified onlookers. Between scenes the audience joined in singing "The Bowery," "Who Emma" and "The Man on the Flying Trapeze." Cries of "Will We Bet Neakrakea" Hell, you re-eached about Homecoming sent off send-off Homecoming weekend.
