Lindsey Stresses Work on Offense for Sooner Game
！
Fred Harris Replaces Ray Hafford at Quarterback; Mehringer on Sidelines
Humiliated, but far from discouraged at their 6-0 defeat at the hands of the Kansas State Wildcats last week the Kansas Jayhawkers yesterday afternoon took a long signal and blackboard drill, in which the rough spots in the team's play which showed up against the Wildcats were ironed out.
Coach Adrian Lindsay took his charges to the stadium field early in the afternoon and put them through their paces on offensive plays. Several new formations were tried and attention was given to improvement in the passing attack.
An anticipated backfield shakeup resulted in Fred Harris, sophomore quarterback, replacing Ray Hafford, another sophomore, who has started every game so far this season, in the signal calling position. Harris has turned in good football in several games when he has entered as a substitute, and may get the call at quarter against Oklahoma Saturday.
The only other shift in the lineup Lindsey used as the first siring last night was at tackle, as Pete Mehringer, Jayhawker mainstay, reported in sweat clothes and did not take part in the workouts. He suffered a leg injury in the K-Aggie game, and will be out most of the week. Whether he starts against the Sooners will depend on how his condition develops later in the week. Dees was at tackle in practice today.
Harris May Start
Follow: a long chalk talk last night, the J yawker coach brought the team to the practice field, where, after another short signal drill, a dummy scrimmage against a picked freshman squad. The varsity took the ball and run through new old plays, and noticed attention again being paid to passes.
Sooners Are Strong
The Oklahoma Sooners, Kansas' see on big Six opponent, have lost to Nebraska and to Tulsa in the past few weeks, but are not being taken lightly by the Jayhawks wager. Memory of the loss, when the strong Vanderbilt team early in the season indicates that defensive power a least can be found in the Sooner ranks
The game is of particular interest he cause of the fact that until two years ago, when he came to Kansas Lindsay was coach of the Oklahoma team. For five years the present Jayhawk mentor turned out Sooner teams that were always factors in Big Six championship races. The men who were freshmen and the Sooner's last year with the Sooners are the stars of the present Sooner team.

Social Problems Vital to Engineers, Says Ise
Professor of Economics Speaks at Meetings in Lawrence
Professor John Ise of the department of economics was one of the non-engineer speakers at the Kansas-Nebraska meetings held in Lawrence last week.
Professor Ise choose as his subject, 'A Pressing Need in Engineering Education.' In his talk he declared that while engineers were progressive in their attitude toward their own problems, they were "almost all rock-standards" in their attitude toward most social and economic problems.
"This," said Professor Ise, "seems particularly strange at the present time, when engineers have suffered almost more than members of any other profession from the glaring faults of our economic system; but the explanation is probably that engineers have formulated their philosophies in more favorable times, and being engineers have not been able to change them."
He went on to say that many engineers were friendly to the autocracy of big business, and that many engineers believed big business to be efficient and to be conducted on a high plane of integrity.
"Engineers," continued Ise, "have made much of the ancient argument of government inefficiency and corruption. We now understand that government is less corrupt than big business." He cited the Tea-pot Dome scandal pointing out that the politicians implicated in the deal were promptly thrown out, discredited and disgraced, whereas the business men stand as high as ever in the eyes of their colleagues.
Professor Ise said that engineers have been obstructionists for economic improvement. "In the first place," he declared "the technical character of their training gives engineers a certain mental inelasticity in dealing with problems outside their own special fields They deal with forces and concepts that are often capable of only one solution."
Wrestling to Be Field at K. S.C. M Manhattan, Kan., Oct. 31. Word that the Missouri Valley A.A.U. wrestling tournament will be held at Kansas State University has been received by Buell Patterson, wrestler coach at K.S.C.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1933
Dean Brandt A Man of Vision Asserts Chancellor E.H.Lindley
DEAN J. G. Brandt was a fine example of the scholar and gentleman.
A Wisconsin farm boy, he was "born to be educated." Endowed with a fine brain, he found the pursuit of a liberal education a great and glorious adventure. He explored the cultures of Greece and Rome with the same zest that Byrd sought the South Pole.
The best of the cultures of the classic ages was wrought into the textures of his life. It found expression in a passion for excellence, in
integrity of character, and in a desire that youth might share in the great
This farm boy thus found the way to be at home in Oxford or Harvard. And yet he was a Westerner with immense interest in the cultural advance of this mid-west region. He had great intelligence and abilities of the young people of Kanaus.
Banquet Postponed
He brought this super equipment to the counselling of youth and to the policies of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. As dean of the College, Dean Brantd presided over a large domain. He was responsible for more than 600 students on his faculty of 150. His field covered a wide range of departments, including
The T.W.C.A. Membership banquet, which was to have been held tonight, has been postponed until next Tuesday. None of the banquet is "Windows."
Miss Bertha Eckhert of the Indian Staff of the National W.Y.C.A. board will speak to the Y.W.C.A. cabinet at Henley House Thursday at 4:30. Miss Eckhert has been working at Haskell Institute during the past week on the religious program for Indian students.
makes use of literatures, sciences and some departments of the fine arts, together with certain professional fields such as journalism. His manifold duties included direction of the extensive budget of the College, assistance with faculty, students, and patrons.
To Dean Brantid, the College was the glowing heart of the University. He held high the best modern conception of a liberal education. The College was to be no cloistered place, pursuing a culture with drawn from actual life. He visioned the College as a service to the professions. And he did far more than many of his colleagues realized to adjust the College to the practical world of today. This adjustment was by surrender of high ideals but rather by the enrichment of the professional training with a needed idealistic and humanistic background.
In these ways this quiet and reserved man has influenced the outlook and lives of literally thousands of young men and women. He has imbued his faculty with a spirit that has won wide and favorable recognition for the University. His passion for thoroughness and his conscientious desire to help a boy or girl find himself, led to long and careful conferences with individual students. This lured him to work beyond his strength, beyond what was right. He lost his health and life in distinguished service.
Miss Eckhert to Be Speaker
J. G. Brandt
Across the years, a multitude of those to whom he gave so much will be increasingly conscious of the priceless contribution made to their lives by this scholar and gentleman.
Repaving to Be Continued
The University athletic department yesterday received a check for $623.05 from A. A. Schabinger, director of athletics at Creighton. This was in addition to the $2,500 guarantee previously received, and represents Kansas' share from a crowd reported at the time to have been 13,000.
Injunction Against Project Denied or Grounds of New Franchise
E. H. LINDLEY.
At the present time the Power company has substitute buses for street cars, and work on the repaving project in the Haskell district.
Judge Hugh Means denied in court today an injunction sued by Lutie Kern a taxpayer of Lawrence restraining the Kansas Electric Power company from paving over the car tracks on Massachusetts street between 7th and 23rd streets. In granting the denial Judge Means said that the action of the Power company does not affect him as a taxpayer.
The basis for the injunction was the franchise granted the Power company in 1909. This franchise, giving the right to lay street car tracks on Massachusetts street summed up that if the Power company lost its franchise or went out of business, it was obligated to tear up the car tracks and repave that portion of the street that the tracks had formerly occupied.
Creighton Check Arrives
A few months ago the city received an appropriation from the government for unemployment relief under the government's Public Works Program. The city decided to repave Massachusetts street as its project but in doing so, it was found that the portion between the car tracks could not be repaved satisfactorily. The Power company had already installed a side, and a new 10-year franchise to run buses substituted. It also offered to leave the tracks intact and cover them over with asphalt. The city council accepted this proposition.
BUS REPLACES STREET CAR
ON MOUNT OREAD SUNDAY
Busses owned by the Kansas Electric Power company replaced the street cars on Mount Oread Sunday morning. They have effected a new route. The cars come up Mississippi street from the north and turn west on Oread street. Then they pass around the circle in house and come back Oread to Missouri where they turn south and follow that street out of the University grounds.
The street cars were recently discontinued in the main streets of Lawrence but were not replaced on the Hill until yesterday. The Kansas Electric meter company has been granted a 10-year franchise by the city commission.
R. O. T. C. Purchases Land
Announcement Made at Barbecue for Members Last Night
A five acre plot of ground, located southwest of the building and grounds department buildings, has been purchased by the R.O.T.C. and will be turned over to the University in June, Major W, K. Coenig, professor of military science announced Thursday night at the R.O.T.C. barbecue.
The barbecue was attended by approximately 300 R.O.T.C. members, faculty, and guests. A program was presented around a huge bonfire on the R.O.T.C. grounds. Numbers were given by representatives of members from each class of both the engineer and coast artillery divisions.
Captain J. F. Zajicke, assistant instructor of military science, was master of ceremonies. Rowena Longhore, honorary colonel of the R.O.T.C. was present. Sergent William Kollander, barbecued the pork and cooked the beans for apples. Apples, doughnuts, bread, and fruit were the department had as its guests; Chancellor E. H. Lindley, the Lawrence American Legion, the Reserve Officers of the vicinity, and members of the various departments of the University.
To Check Game Receipts
Representatives of Richard N. Wiley Ib Co., certified public accountants, will be here tomorrow to check up attendance and receipts of the Kansas-Kansas State football game, and the University football game on Monday or Tuesday. This will be within a week of the game, although Big Six rules permit ten days for settlements.
Postpone Zoology Club Picnic
Postpone Zoology Club Picnic The Zoology club picnic planned for this evening has been postponed indefinitely.
One Football Fan Prefers 20-Yard Line Seats at Games
At least one football enthusiast has been found who prefers a seat on the twenty or thirty yard line instead of the usual fifty. Otto Klepner, a New York advertising man and author of advertising texts, gives his reasons as follows: "Very little close play takes place in mid-field, all the fun piles up inside of the twenty yard line. From the twenty yard线 you can see also see well the forward passing which usually breaks out on the thirty yard line.
With more roots like Otto Kleppner, the athletic departments of various universities would be relieved of many worries that come from trying to put all spectators in the fifty yard line seat. It would, however, be a novelty to see the twenty and thirty yard line seats packed, and the fifty yard seats some what empty. Mr. Kleppner is looking for impartial experts on this question to help him carry his point. Accounting to him, "people seated on the fifty yard line are equally far away from all the good playing."
Landon Gives Program to State Legislature
Governor Stresses Relief and Liquor Issues in Message
He urged to lawmakers to go to the bottom of the bond forgery scandals. He pledged himself to do everything within his power to bring justice to those who violated any laws in connection with the $1,000,000 frauds which caused an upheaval in Kansas politics.
The chief executive placed equal emphasis on two other immediate problems—provision of relief to the state's unemployed and the beer and liquor issues suddenly thrust to the heart by the defeat of national prohibition.
Topeka, Kan., Oct. 31—(UP)-Gov.
Alfred M. Landen today outlined a corrective program to the state legislature to have advanced in a momentous special session.
Suggests Short Ballot
Governor Landon also stressed the importance of revamping the state banking departments so as to prevent such operations as that of the W. W. Finney banks involved in the bond scandals. He suggested that a short ballot and a cabinet form of government be established through a constitutional amendment and declared it was most urgent that the state's system of handling its fiscal business be revamped.
It is necessary that the legislature deal with the beer situation, Governor Landon asserted, but counseled that it would be a waste of time now to attempt to permit Kansans to vote on repeal of the 18th amendment.
He did not, however, mention repeal of the state constitutional bone-dry provisions. In recent speeches he had indicated he favored having the legislature letting the people vote on this question next year.
"It will be necessary," he said, "for the legislature to write into the statutes what alcoholic content must be allowed, and for it to be legally, or reassessed within the state."
Liquor a State Issue
Education a state issue
After declaring it is evident that national prohibition will soon be over, he said:
"The liquor problem then becomes primarily a state issue and responsi-
To help procure the maximum allotment of federal funds for unemployment relief, he urged that the legislature authorize issuance of $2,200,000 in bonds by counties to be paid out to highway funds allocated to counties.
He suggested that in a proposed constitutional amendment to provide a short bailout that the only state officials to be elected by the governor, lieutenant governor, and state auditor. All other state officials be appointed by the governor as members of his cabinet and be held accountable to him.
The full text of the message follows:
St. Louis Trainer a Visitor

After three years of graduate work, he became instructor of Latin at the Wisconsin State school until 1911, when he received the degree of doctor of philosophy.
Dean Brandt was then appointed a Carnegie research associate to the American School of Classical Study in Rome at the start of the 1911-12 school year because of his outstanding work in the field of Latin. He here spent a year investigating the epigraphy of Roman texts and the history of the University of Wisconsin in the fall of 1912, and taught Latin there until the close of the 1914-15 school year.
Was Carnegie Associate
Dean Brandt then came to the University of Kansas in 1915 as an assistant professor of Greek, and was made acting dean of the college in 1920. The next year his appointment as dean was made permanent. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, scholastic fraternity, of the University Club, and the Kansas School-masters' Club. He was a Congregationalist.
As dean of the College of Liberal Arts, he encouraged students to choose a wide range of electives in their early years, specializing as they neared the end of their college course. Administrative staff and students with stained desiring counsel on their work, required a great amount of his time and effort.
