The last game of the year comes on next Thursday with Missouri. Ever since 1891, the two schools have met in their annual struggle at Kansas City on "Turkey" day and this year as usual, the interest in the game is paramount. The games have not usually been championship games, and this year is no exception to the general rule. Missouri does not even lay claim to her own state, having been beaten by Washington and St. Louis Universities. However, it makes no difference whether Missouri has lost or won every contest, the public always eats an early Thanksgiving dinner and hurries out to see the big game.
THE INVINCIBLE TRIO
"DOPE" WITH KANSAS.
Kansas ought to win by a good margin this year. All the "dope" seems to point that way
RUSH FOR TICKETS.
When tickets went on sale yesterday morning at the check stand there was a rush for the best seats and by Tuesday at 5 o'clock 500 tickets had been sold. The Missourians have a longer distance to come, but a large crowd always accompanies the team from Columbia. Kansas has the south bleachers at Association park and the black and gold supporters will be on the north side. It is hoped that some real enthusiasm will be developed, as most of the past games have been lacking in this respect.
but "dope" is very unreliable when it comes to the last and final game of the year. On the face of scores made this year, Yale ought to have beaten Harvard by a large margin, but Harvard, in a desperate struggle, held Yale to six points and these were not made on straight football. In 1901, Missouri had been beaten in every contest, but on Thanksgiving day they defeated Kansas by a score of 18 to 12. This year Kansas lost her only game to Colorado, and we estimate our real strength in the Oklahoma and Washington games. Missouri was beaten by Washington 14 to 10, the same team that we defeated by a score of 21 to 0. The brilliant showing against Purdue is probably the best evidence of the Tigers' real strength.
Kansas will be handicapped by a new back field or rather an inexperienced one. Pooler, of course, is a veteran at quarter, having played there every year with the exception of the present season, when Hart was laid up last week with a bruised shoulder. Pooler went back to his old place and is playing in his old style. Waring, who went home on Saturday, will be in the game at full, and Miller and Angney will be the halves. This makes a back field averaging only 150 pounds to the man.
NEW BACK FIELD OF KANSAS.
Brunner and Donald at tackles will carry the ball a great amount of the distance.
MEN IN FINE CONDITION.
The rain last Thursday was a great help to McCook field. If the ground had been as hard as usual, there would have been several bruises sustained in the game with the Farmers. As it was, no one was hurt and the team is in just as good condition as they would have been had they spent the week in rest as Missouri has been doing. Myers, who played a few minutes in Saturday's contest, will no doubt, play at least part of the game. His ability to help the man with the ball is always noticeable. Michaelson, last year's center, has been coaching the line men the last two days.
ROOTER'S MATINEE.
The crowd will commence to leave for Kansas City on Wednesday. A rooter's matinee will be held after chapel and yells and songs will be rehearsed. The band and team with most of the students will take the Union Pacific special.

INTEREST IN DEBATE.
Fraternities to Have Contest-- Freshmen and Sophomores Preparing for Debate.
"A greater interest in debating is being manifested in the University than has ever before been shown," said Professor E. G. Frazier, instructor in public speaking, yesterday. Great enthusiasm prevails among the fraternities concerning the interfraternity debates to be held in the near future. At the first meeting all the fraternities with the exception of three were represented. The second meeting was held Wednesday to complete arrangements. The question of the inter-fraternity debates will be that debated by the University in the interstate contests.
The sophomores and freshmen intend to hold a series of preliminary debates leading up to a final contest. The representatives of the two classes met Wednesday to ratify a compact, drawn up by Prof. Frazier. They, too, will debate the interstate debate question. With such a thorough, careful study of the question and with such a well trained body of debaters, it will be possible for Kansas to repeat the maneuvers of last year and again win from Missouri and Iowa.
K. U. Quartet at Burlington.
The K. U. quartet assisted in a concert at Burlington, Kansas. Friday evening. This concert was given by Mrs. Kent, vocal teacher, and Miss Emma Parmley, instrumental teacher, and the members of their classes.
All the members of the quartet praise the hospitality of the people of Burlington. The members of the quartet are chosen from the glee club, and are: J. D. Lindsay, 1st tenor; H. R. Durkee, 2d tenor; R. W. Hoover, baritone; W. Wikoff Marshall, bass. This was the first appearance of the quartet.
