Jayhawkers Show Determined Drive in Long Workout
Coaches Substitute Freely in Hard Scrimmage with Freshmen Yesterday
A hard scrimmage, characterized with more drive and determination than the Jayhawkers have shown all season, was held yesterday afternoon when Coach Ad Lindsey, Mike Getto and Dr. Allen put their charges up against those of Forrest Cox and Speed Atkeson, freshman coaches.
After Monday night's shakeup, the squad sent down to real hard work in preparation for its second Big Six conference game, which will be played Saturday against the Oklahoma Sooners. The Oklahoma team lost last week to Nebraska while Kansas was going to defeat at the hands of the Avengers.
Starting Lineup Uncertain
Starting Linkup Circuits
Backs an ens opened up their work yesterday with a passing practice While Ad Lindsay and Dr. Allen took charge of this group of men, Mike Getto and his linemen were working on line fundamentals. After the two groups had finished their preliminary work they were called in for a long chalk talk and then returned to the field for a scrimimage with the freshmen.
With men shifted around so much on the varsity team it is hard to predict what eleven will take the field Saturday against the Sooners.
Linemen as well as backs were being substituted rather freely so the coaches could get a line on what they might choose to use in this weeks
Mehringer Iniured
Ray Brinkman seemed to hold the eye in yesterday's scrippage, with his long broken-field running. Ormand Beach was placed at post number one in the backfield and took care of the blocking well.
With Peter Mehringer out because of an injury, the coaches are searching for someone to take his place. Dean Nesmith, Elwyn Dees and Frank Lynch seemed to get the call yesterday at Mehringer's tackle.
It is very probable that Fred Harris will get the call at quarterback with Clyde Bloomfield as second choice. Ole Nesmith and Ed Hall were backs who carried the ball on several occasions to gain good yardage.
Dates Set for Conference
Although the Jayhawks lost the, opening conference game, they have by no means given up hopes, as was shown in workout yesterday. Every man on the squirt was given a chance to prove his worth against the freshmen until it was so dark it was impossible to work any more.

Air of Fantasy Pervades Fraser Hall as Kansas Players Give Mary Rose
More ghosts than one glided through the night of Hallowe'en on the Hill last night. Small boys probably aided the saints in the vicinity of Lawrence, and if there were—mayhag—flivers roosting on barn tops or gated hunges and flung into barnyards in the country this morning, no more than the barest of supernatural inspirations can be ascribed to the phenomena.
Bv Elliott Penner
But the ghost that came from the dusty rafters of Fraser theater and recreated an awe of the supernatural in the minds of modern folk brought a sympathy for ghostly lives, that had not the ordinary mischievous implications of All Saints' eve. The play was the story, the story was of "Mary Rose," the tense and violin and voice by the Kansas Players and the Dramatic club.
There was no applause during the performance and scarcely any until after a prolonged pause when the house lights were turned on after it was over. Never in our remembrance has such a compliment been paid University players. The audience lived a fair story.
The merry-makers then took themselves off to the Hillside and the two students struggled. Unable to climb through the small ticket window, they were finally forced to break one of the boards by putting their weight against it, and thus releasing themselves.
There were never the bursts of bewildered hand-clapping that come sometimes in less effective presentations of things out of the realm of stochastic probability. And one in the audience showed a lack of that receptiveness of the mood of Barrie mentioned there. Little more can be said in praise of the play.
Halloween pranksters have not lost any of their originality. Last night, when two students who live in the north part of town started for the library, they thought they would take a short cut through the stadium. But it proved to be anything else but a short cut. Approaching the south end of the stadium on the east side, they were suddenly pounced on by five young men. The five boys put the two in one of the ticket stands in the grass, and turned it over so that the door was on the bottom.

Plans for Christmas Projects Will Be Discussed Tonight
A meeting of the Self-Supporting Student's association will be held tonight at 8:15 in room 222 of the Administration building. The purpose of the meeting will be to receive the report of the general committee meeting which was held Sunday afternoon, and to take action upon the report.
At the meeting tonight arrangements will be made to select helpers on the projects and tasks will be assigned. Arrangements also will be made for a party for the organization to be given in a week or two at the Union building.
At the committee meeting it was decided that the plan to have a co-operative factory for making Christmas presents would not be carried out because of insufficient time, but a plan was substituted whereby Henry Werner, dean of men, and Professor F. A. Russell will conduct two separate projects upon which the members of the association will work under their direction. One of the projects will be a KU, watch fob, the other a Jayhawk puppet. Both will be sold at the Missouri game.

DIRECTOR OF A. T. and S. I
Mr. Evans was the speaker and guest of honor at a law convocation held here Oct. 25. He is a former regent of the University an his home is in Wichita. He is active in business organizations as well as the law profession.
The adapting of the law curriculum to the conditions which have been brought about by the existing depression, was the subject for discussion at the regular Wednesday luncheon held by the law faculty today at the University club. Dean Robert McNair Davis presided over the informal meeting.
Law Faculty Meets
the only disturbing note in the whole performance was one that could not be considered a fault of the players and the directors. Perhaps it was only in our own mind. When James Christy spoke as Cameron, his innumeral deep tones brought back for an audience the conflicting image of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," in which he played last year. The difficult matter of simulating different ages in the lives of characters seemed but a more, natural growth old process to Robert Calderwood and Sica Crafton. Robert Haig was not quite so effective in that; nor James Christy. Their costumes helped; Mr. Calderwood and Mrs. Crafton would have needed no makeup of ten to assist them.
But as the young husband (Haig)(

BEAMER SHOWS PHOTOGRAPHS
TO ENTOMOLOGY DEPARTMENT
More than one hundred projected photographs were used by Dr. R. H. Beamer of the ontology department to illustrate his trip to Arizona and California last summer at a meeting of the ontology club at 430 o'clock yesterday.
Dr. Beamer spent some time collecting both in Arizona and in California, taking many photographs while collecting. In his lecture he explained how he made his pictures and methods of making enlargements. He uses a camera to make his pictures and from which all enlargements are made.
New Pipeline Laid
Rather than tie up the campus traffic and tear up the pavement between Green hall and Fraser, the buildings and grounds department laid about 150 feet of pipe from Green hall to the fire hydrant opposite old Snow hall to prevent breakers discovered in a water pipe morning when water seeped through cracks in the pavement in such quantity as to indicate a good sized break.
