LAWRENCE, KANSAS. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28 1933
Dirt Dishing Begins as Sour Owl Announces Homecoming Edition
The Sour Owl began dishing out the dirt a day early today when a couple of aspiring journalists were seen merrily shovelling dirt (?) on the bed
of a truck announcing the appearance of the Sour Owl tomorrow. The students on the truck seemed to resent the remark of a passing student who yelled "I'll bet you feel right at home." Anyway, a shovel-full of the so-called dirt went flying in the direction of the offender. The only difficulty with the publicity scheme is that all the dirt which appears in this issue of the Owl couldn't possibly be loaded on one truck.
There is considerable gossip and news of the campus and also various features dealing with local persons and events.
Paul Woodmansee, editor, has announced that the price of tomorrow's issue has been reduced.
"Every political and economic ideal of the East is rooted in the religions of India. Their religious ideas have become twisted with wrongs. The Indian mind has been changed by Christianity."
Change Sought by East, Declares Dr. E.S. Jones
"The round table conferences that we have conducted in India have shown that humanity has the same struggles everywhere, and that the out of humanity is one. All men are ecking a way to live.
He said that the three approaches that can be made to the people of the East are by telling them the Christian way from personal religious experience, through the Bible and through religious leaders of all faiths, and the announcement of results in public halls.
India Needs Religion, Says Noted Missionary at Sunday Service
"The East is awakened, it is changing, and it is seeking freedom," said Dr E. Stanley Jones, noted missionary, traveler, and author from India, when he spoke on "Our Approach to an Awakened East" before a large crowd at the fifth All-University service held in the University auditorium Sunday afternoon.
"Skepticism is deep in the East," continued Dr. Jones, "but India wants religion to restrelength her public life. The people of India want God, but the clashes of religion are greatest in Ind."$^{b}$
Dr. Jones concluded his address by saying that the East is in deep revolt against the West, yet the people of the West are on a way of redemption's the way to live.
Old Records Show K. U. Athletic Foes Have Totaled 126
Homecoming games at Kansas have the power to thrill old grads and underclassmen alike, and to unite them in a common enthusiasm for their alma mater at the true origin of this eventful day scene to remain somewhat of a mystery.
The homecoming plan, however, was not followed in the next few years, and with the war came the upsetting of all customs, and the replacement of school spirit by national patriotism. After the war, the spirit of K.U. was still somewhat under a shadow. But out of the attempted mate by various pep organizations to brighten the situation, and the "loyalty movement" which swept the campus, grew the plans for the second homecoming in 1919, the real beginning of the tradition. At this time, Homecoming day was officially placed on the University program, and big preparations were made for the event.
Games With Chinese, Japan anese and Hawaiians Are Included on Past Lists
Homecoming, Instituted at Illinois Is Outgrowth of Many Traditions
Before the advent of the Homecoming grid battle, the interest of alumni in the school was centered on the annual commencement exercises. The game idea, however, soon proved to be of more interest, and was wholeheartedly
The first celebration of this kind was held at the University of Illinois in 1911, when a special effort was expended to get the alumni back to attend a football game. It is not certain why this effort was made, whether to increase school spirit or something more tangible, such as the sale of football tickets, perhaps. At any rate, the custom soon spread to nearby schools, and in 1913 the first Kansas homecoming game was played with Nebraska on the McCook field. Nebraska获赠 9 to 0. For years before, either the Missouri or Nebraska game had been the big game for the return of old grads to the Hill.
Since 1866, the University of Kansas has had athletic relations with 125 different schools in all parts of the country. Some of the most colorful rivalries hark back to the older days when Kansas participated with many schools who are now in the Big Ten and with the famous Notre Dame Ramblers.
In 1913, for example, the Jayhawker baseball team dropped two straight games to representatives of a Chinese university who had speed and curves more potent than the Jayhawker's proverbial strength. That same year they lost another baseball game to a group of Hawaiians by a much more disheartening ratio, years before Kansas had defeated representatives of the same school, 10 to 8.
-
The Jayhawk once ruffled his feathers against a West Point team, and but for a slippery field and a bit of stage-fright might have fared better than 0 to 13 against the Army eleven. Kansas has played, likewise in baseball with basketball with Chinese, Japanese and Hawaiian teams from across the sea.
In 1916, however, the Kansas had their revenge, and, though not by great margins, they won two straight from he rhythmic guitar plunkers of that articular school of the Pacific. The two victories only evened the Kansas—both for —for in 1914 a cam从 Honolulu had won from the Kansas, 7-5, and 9-2.
The Wisconsin-Kansas scores are more of a bad thing. In four games Kansas scored 6 points against the Wolverines, and those points came in the top five. The 1927, 1928, and 1929, Wisconsin victories read, 1901, 50, 1902, 38, 1903, 13, 1920, 12, 1927, 6-
Way back in 1904, when the touchdown counted but 5 points, the Kansans defeated the Ramblers 24 to 5; last year Notre Dame almost evened the count by winning at Mt. Oread, 24 to 6; this year's scoreless tie is a matter of record. The Tajahwakes thus hold a one-point advantage through the years.
Revenge in 1916
In 1892, Kansas won from Illinois 24 to 6, but that game represents the only victory and the only score the Jayhawkers have chalked up against the Illini. In 1916, 1917, and in 1925, Kansas failed to score while their corn-belt opponents collected a total of 77 points.
Kansas Loses Four to Wisconsin
Then in 1925 came the most remembered, perhaps, of Homecoming days. Hobo day, which was becoming a feature preceding the Homecoming game, was entered into with such spirit that the team, the students, and the old grades were impregnated with the spirit of the motto, "Beat Mizzou." And they did. Following in 1926 the Homecoming day was the day of the Nebraska game, and the new feature of putting on exhibits by the different departments was introduced. The opening of Watkins hall was also an added feature. Jayhawkers ruffled the fur of the Tiger again in 1927 with a defeat of 14 to 7.
accepted by alumni and students as well. Ole Timer's night took its place in the Homecoming program in 1920, when Kansas played Nebraska with the famous 20 to 20 resulting score. Lawrence merchants decorated their stores, and the University Daily Kansan instituted its custom of issuing a special Homecoming number. In 1921, a bigger and bolder year was planned, and he came a part of the schedule. "Homecoming by Radio" was a feature of the 1922 program which also included the dedication of the new Memorial stadium here.
During the game in 1928, which was played with Nebraska, daylight bandits cracked the safe in the athletic office and escaped with the entire receipts of the ticket sales, estimated at between four and five thousand dollars. The next three years were marked by feverish activity of all kinds, including parades, and rallies. With the return of Adrian Lindsey in 1932, spirit ran rampant and snappy队伍 provided an outlet for the enthusiasm. But the Nebraska jinx on Kansas soil held true, and the Jahaykwers went down to a 20 to 6 defeat.
Jayhawkers Set Record for Homecoming Games
Seven Big Six Schools Hold Annual Reunions for 19:22:33 Tilts
KANSAS PLANS ELABORATE HOMECOMING CELEBRATION
Kansas football teams seem to have established something of a record by way of playing to Homecoming crowds in the Big Six during the past two seasons. Every conference football game away from Lawrence in the jay-hawkers participated in 1932 and 1933 was a Homecoming game for the host school. To those five games may be added the two Kansas homecomings, as well as the one with Missouri on Thanksgiving this year. The Kansas record will then be seven homecoming games out of the last 10 Big Six encounters.
Figures on Homecoming crowds at the other schools are rather impressive in lieu of the fact that two of the schools have small stadiums whose players were trained and then these games, at least part of them, were played in depression years.
This year's Big Six games away from home have been at Oklahoma and Nebraska. At Norman, on Nov. 4, the Sooners packed 10,000 persons into their stadium. The Husker game at Lincoln almost tripped that figure as 28,500 paid to see Nebraska win her Big Six title. The Missouri game this year was bringing crowds estimate at between 20,000 and 29,000.
At Iowa State on Oct. 15 last year the Homecoming crowd was estimated at 8,000 persons; in Columbia on Nov. 12, the Missourians turned out 11,000 strong, and at Manhattan, Kansas State College fans numbered 10,000. The coming against Nebraska last year brought about 13,000 people to Lawrence.
The out-of-Lawrence games have drawn an attendance of 67,100 persons in two years. This added to the Ne-braska-Kansas total of last year, plus the Tiger game, Thanksgiving, will probably bring the total to 100,000 or more, or an average of more than 10,-000 per game for two years.
This record which is unequaled by any other Big Six school attests to the popularity which the Jayhawks have built up throughout the conference and that the Kansans are regarded as favorites among all members of the conference.
Tentative Play Cast Named

SEEKING 500 ATTENDANCEI
The Kansas Rooters will be distinguished by K.U. arm bands. They will meet the team and, in general, work up spirit and enthusiasm for Kansas.
Allen to Speak at Banquet
Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics at the University of Kansas, will speak tonight at the Southwest high school of Kansas City, Mo., annual football banquet which will be held at St. Andrews episcopal church at 65th and Worrell road. Louis House is coach of the Southwest high school team.
The roads to Lawrence will be jammed Thursday noon. Get there Wednesday night and get more for your money—Adv.
TRANSFERRED TICKETS WILL BE CONFISCATED
"It is rumored that some students have sold their activity tickets to the Thanksgiving game.
"This is a violation of contract, specifically made in the sale of the student ticket.
"Unauthorized persons presenting tickets thus purchased will not be admitted, and under the terms of the agreement with the student councils, the activity book also will be forfeited."
E. H. Lindley, Chancellor.
Dr. Allen repeated the warning that he issued earlier in the year, that any student who was discovered attempting to transfer his ticket would lose the right to use that ticket for any other activities listed upon it. He issued a further statement today.
Students will not only lose the future use of their tickets," he said, "but they will also be unable to buy basketball season tickets at the special price of $1.50."
Special checkers will be placed at each gate on the east side of the stadium. Dr. Allen said.
Presentation of a student ticket by a person not a student involves also the evasion of government tax, and this angle is being investigated by Dr. Allen
Rival Team That Upset 1923 Dope to See Game
Turkey Day Contestants of Ten Years Ago Expect Anything Thursday
The 1923 Kansas and Missouri teams and their coaches, Potsy Clark and Gwynn Henry, have been invited as honor guests to the Homecoming game, Thursday. These two teams who met in the first three years ago on a snowy field, and came out with a tied score of 3 to 3, will sit together in box seats.
Ten years ago the Kansas team was the Missouri Valley champion, with an uncroirmed goal line. The Jayhawks had tied Nebraska 0 to 1, the same Cornhuskers that had defeated Notre Dame decisively. The other Kansas scores were: Creighton 0, Kansas 6; Oklahoma Aggies 0, Kansas 9; Kansas Aggies 0, Kansas 0; Oklahoma 3, Kansas 7; Drake 0, Kansas 17. And Kansas beat Washington University of St. Louis, 83 to 0, while Washington beat Cleveland 6 to 0, to get the following week. Missouri tied Kansas 3 to 3. And so it seems the dope just doesn't work out in these Kansas-Missouri games, and so the 1923 team remembers, and will no doubt be thinking all during the game Thursday.
Dr. F. C. Allen announced that letters inviting these two teams and offering them box seats have already been sent although all of the replies have not yet been received. Those on the Kansas team to whom invitations were sent are: George "Potsy" Clark, the Kansas coach, who is now coaching the Portsmouth Spartans; Charles Black, captain of the Kansas队; Max Kruger half-back; Burt Burt, fullback; Gerald Smith, fullback; Melvin Griffin end; Jack McLean, end; Ted Sandbiond end; Allen Davidson, guard; Edwar Hipin, guard; Lawrence Doordruff shannon, halfback; Wes Shannon, halfback; Bob Mosby, tackle Elden Hailey, guard; Ray Fraker, guard Jon Lon堡, center; Clyde Freese tackle; Holdermann, guard; William Anderson, halfback; Gene Hart halfback; Verne Collier, quarterback and Alex Hodges, quarterback.
Gwynn Henry, the Missouri coach of 1923, who is now coaching the St. Louis Gunners, an independent professional team, has been invited, and the Missouri team of that year consisting of: Rajph Keller, James Palermo, Clyde Doyne, John Walsh, Don Faurot, Arthur D. Bond, captain, Sam Whitman, Maurice Moulder, Robert Seannel, Doss Richerson, and Jerry Lewis.
Today will be the last edition of the Daily Kansan until Dec. 5.

Pep Rally Tomorrow Night Before WREN Will Be Attended by Students and Officers
GAME TO START AT 1
Forty-Year-Old Rivals Will Seek to Upset Kansans on Thanksgiving
Plans for a celebration which would make the Thanksgiving day Homecoming this year the most colorful and spectacular in the history of football relationships between the Kansas Jay-hawker and his arch-rival the Missouri Tiger are going forward rapidly as the time for the annual contest draws near. The grid game, the forty-second in the history of the two schools, will be a climax to the elaborate ceremonies which have been planned with a definite precision by the athletic department and Hill assistants.
By Merle Heryford
Pre-game football antics, furnished by the Medics and the Laws, a torchlight parade, last-night radio broadcasts, the greatest pop rally of the year, and 12 acts of vaudville on Thursday before game-time are all a part of the team's jollity that has been so apparent in the attitude of students for the past week.
Many Notables Expected
As guests of the Homecoming game the University will have many celebrations of the day and of special days. Miss Knute K. Rocke, and her two sons, Knute, Jr., and Billy, will occupy places in a special box along with members of the undefeated Kansas football team of 1923 and their wives. Miss Charlotte Henry, who takes the part of Alice in the screen production of "Alice in Wonderland," which is showing at the Newman theater in Kansas City, and who is appearing with her production, will attend the Thanksgiving game accompanied by members of her supporting company.
Other notables will include, Governor Alf. M. Landon and members of the Kansas Board of Regents.
The great torchlight parade which will begin at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow will include bands, officers, University oratory and marchers from the student body.
Parade to Begin at South Park The parade will begin at South Park and will continue north on Massachusetts to Seventh street; from there it will turn west one block to Vermont street and will then proceed southward to radio station WREN, at the corner of Eighth and Vermont streets. The streets are wide there and will allow ample space for the crowds that are expected to attend the huge rally, according to the University cheerleaders who will be in charge of the proceedings at the rally.
The grand parade will follow a carefully planned order tomorrow night. General Wilder S. Metaleft will act as marshal; he will be accompanied by Lieutenant Ed Young and Miss Roseana Longshore, honorary colonel of R. O. T. C. Both the general and his escort will be mounted. Directly following them will march the color bearers carrying flags both of the United States and the University of Kansas. Major W. C. Koenig, two student majors, and the R. O. T. C. staff will guard wield the R. O. T. C. staff will ride in the parade, but his companions will be on foot as will the flag bearers. The student and organization section of the parade will march directly behind the military units. Student participation will be under the direction of Bill Avery, e'35.
Freshmen Are Warned
Freshman INC
The K. U. flag will be flying all day tomorrow, Clyde Coffman, president of the "K" club, announced today, and all "K" men will be on hand to see that freshmen show proper respect.
