FARMERS EASY
FINAL SCORE 29 TO 0. VISIT-
ORS PLAYED GOOD GAME
FIRST HALF
Kennedy Puts in "Subs" in Second. Pooler in Old Time Form at Quarter.
Kansas defeated the farmers on McCook field today by a score of 29 to 0. Kansas wanted to save her men for the Thanksgiving game and punted freely rather than depend on line plunging. The first touchdown was made after seven minutes of play by Donald. White, Brunner, Donald and Angney made most of the gains through the Farmers' line although Pooler the great quarter back got around the end several times for beautiful long end runs. The visitors would often take a brace and force Kansas to kick. The Agriculturists brought a crowd of five hundred rooters with them, who went wild when the purple held the red and blue. The day was perfect for the college game and twelve hundred people watched the contest on McCook.
The first half was started by Pooler with a 45 yard kick. The Farmers failed to make the five yards. Kansas carried the ball to the 4-yard line where they were held for downs. The visitors fumbled to Kansas and Donald was sent through the line for the first touchdown. The next ten minutes were spent in a punting match where White distinguished himself by dropping his man on the spot. Also Wilson, aided by Pooler returned the ball 20 yards in a spectacular run. Pooler tried a field goal from 40 yard line, but failed. At this stage with five minutes to play the Kansans settled down and, led by Donald, Brunner, White, Miller and Pooler, they made a march for the second touchdown. The tillers of the soil could not pierce the Jayhawkers' line, nor could they stand before the fierce charges of Kennedy's tackles.
The second half was a succession of long runs. Brunner went through the line, stiff armed the safety man and planted the oval behind the line after a 70 yard sprint. Donald got away for 40. Rouse carried back a punt 25 and Pooler on a fake went around the end for 35.
Mellon, Nystrom and Captain Scholz were the stars on the visiting team. The three touchdowns in this half were made by Brunner, Rouse and Donald. Pooler kicked 4 goals making the final score 29 to 0.

A Grand Success.
The initial party of the class of '09 given in Fraternal Aid Hall last night was a grand success. Favored with perfect weather the attendance was remarkably large, at least a hundred couples being on the floor. The programme, according to the plans of its class President, Francis McShane was rendered without a hitch.
An impressive feature of the party was the grand march, led by Chancellor Frank Strong and Mrs. Strong. The Chancellor and Mrs. Strong were assisted by the following members of the faculty who were patrons and patronesses of the '09 party: Professor W.H.Carruth and Mrs. Carruth, Dr. F. O. Marvin and Mrs. Marvin. Dean James W. Green and Mrs. Green, Professor C. H. Ashton and Mrs. Ashton, and Dr. Van der Vries.
The music, furnished by Newhouse's orchestra of eight pieces was all that could be desired. Punch and wafers proved to be enjoyable on such a night. Only a few left before one - thirty when the last dance was over. The success of the party establishes for the rest of their University course the ability of the '09ers as entertainers.
Betas Give Turkey Pull.
The "Turkey Pull," the big event of the year for the Betas, came off last night from seven till 2:30 a.m. at their chapter house. Ninety-one people partook of the banquet, comprising an eight-course dinner, and ninety-one persons this morning will say that they had the time of their lives. When the banquet was over, about 10:30, dancing commenced to an orchestra of three pieces.
The decorations were elaborate and unique. One room was draped entirely in red and blue bunting, another was hung with evergreen, another was walled with corn and cornstalks comprising a large emblem made of corn. The front hall was arched with oak leaves prettily strung, and the dancing room was decorated in pink and blue, the fraternity colors. A mammoth turkey, the god of the feast, looked down from above in this room and strutted with pride.
Very many alumni were present, among whom were Lon Silver, Morganville, Kansas; Ray Adams, Kansas City, Kansas; Henry Babbott, Larned, Kansas; Harold Kuhn, Kansas City, Kansas; Myron Humphrey, Chickasha, Indian Territory; Sid Griggs, Kansas City, Kansas. Mrs. Perkins was also here from Kansas City, Kansas.
Kansan Board Notice.
All members of the Kansan board are asked to be present at the regular board meeting next Monday.
NUMBER 23
BUYS VICTORIES
E. S.JORDAN ACCUSES YOST OF CORRUPT METHODS.
Says Amateur Athletics Almost Out of Existence in Big Nine.
In Collier's Weekly of November 25, Edward S. Jordan makes a series of charges of corruption in the athletic affairs in Michigan University. The article attempts to explain how Fielding H. Yost, the most widely known coach in America, today, has been able to bring together his many-victorious team.
"Football as an amateur sport in the colleges of the Middle West has almost passed out of existence," the article begins. After continuing in this vein at some length, Mr. Jordan pays his respects to Coach Yost in the following manner:
"Fielding H. Yost, Michigan's football coach, has had a unique record. Yost has won, partly through his ability, partly through his personality, but mostly through his material. Yost has been a cosmopolitan coach. He knows where material lies, and on his own income travels thousands of miles every year. Yost had four years of victorious coaching before he went to Michigan, winning for Wesleyan in '97, for Nebraska in '98, for Kansas in '99, for Leland Stanford in 1900. He was hired to win, and he won, but honest satisfaction did not come to the colleges. Four men on his Wesleyan team were reputed to receive pay. Two players who appeared and disappeared within a few days are said to have saved his reputation at Nebraska in the great annual game with Kansas, and he left Leland Stanford with the admiration of the bleacher crowd, but with the disapprobation of President David Starr Jordan. The president afterward said: 'All of us who have had Yost or any Yost-like man about are not to be counted as sinless.'"
Jordan repeats the charges that "Dad" Gregory was proselytized openly and taken to Michigan for football alone, and refers to the case of Joe Maddock in the following manner:
"The faculty men who do know about athletics are afraid to condemn them. Only one Michigan professor ever had the hardihood to question the academic standing of a halfback. He barely escaped ostracism from the faculty, and has never regained in any degree his former popularity with the students. Professor F. N. Scott of the department of rhetoric remarked that he would be forced to exclude Joe Maddock

THEORY OF IMMUNITY
Dr. Vaughn Explains Immunity of Animals to Various Diseases.
Dr. V. C. Vaughn, of the University of Michigan, delivered a lecture to the students or the Medical School yesterday, on the "Theory of Immunity." The large lecture room in the Law building was crowded by the students and faculty of the Kansas City branch of the Medical school.
Dr. Vaughn said in part: "From the remotest antiquity medical men have known that man and many animals are immune to certain diseases. The white man is more immune than the other races, hence his superiority." He spoke of the susceptibility of the Indian to tuberculosis, especially if deprived of his free out-door life. He recalled the devastating plagues that swept Europe a few hundred years ago, of the triumph of modern medicine over these diseases, beginning in the eighteenth century when Edward Jenner proved the success of vaccination by making 5,000 persons wholly immune to the smallpox virus. He reviewed briefly the method of preparation and administration of vaccines, Mechnikoff's experiments with them and his observations of the action of the white corpuscles in warding off poison.
Dr. Vaughn explained thoroughly Erlich's "Side Chain Theory" of immunity and then gave his own theory of the same, which he has carefully worked out by experiments with different bacteria upon animals. He said, "I think a typhoid bacillus is a chemical substance." Dr. Vaughn grows bacteria in large quantities by means of six tanks of 20 barrels each. He virtually grows bacteria by the pound for use in his experiments.
DR. BELL GIVES $20,000.
This Makes His Gift to Kansas University Aggregate $60,000.
Dr. Simeon P. Bell, of Rosedale, who has given property in that city on which to erect six hospital buildings as additional to the Medical School of the University and money with which to erect the buildings, added $20,000 to his gift Thursday. This makes the total of Dr. Bell's cash gifts $60,000. The site for the buildings embraces about eight acres and is valued at about $25,000.
These are to be equipped, one for children's diseases, one for accidents and one for each branch of clinical work. Some of these buildings are now being constructed. Collectively, they are to be called the "Eleanor Taylor Bell Memorial",in memory of the deceased wife of Dr. Bell.
