Fraternities Pay Tax Court Costs, Avery Announces
Every House Contributes
Part of Assessment;
Levies at Baker
Due Today
Although Friday was the deadline for payment of the charges, the sheriff office reported this noon that three groups from Baker University at Baldwin had not met their assessments. It was expected, however, that payment would be made sometime today. The remaining Baker groups paid their levies Saturday. The Baker assessment was $133.35.
The total of $622.40, assessed as court costs against the fraternities and sororities of the University following the fraternity tax litigation, has been paid in full. Bill Avery, president of the House Presidents' association, who collected the money, made the payment Saturday. Baker University has practically completed payment of its share, or $135.00 plus $4.50 service costs.
Three weeks ago, the sheriff's office received notice of the costs from the clerk of the supreme court, and notified the fraternities and sororites. The House Presidents' association took the matter up, and by the final day set for payment, the entire amount had been collected.
"Every organized house on the campus was named in the suit, and each contributed its part in paying the assessment," Avery said. "I want to thank the fraternities and sororites for their co-operation in collecting this money," he continued, and the organizations who contributed additional amounts to take care of the assessments of groups now defunct on the campus."
Fraternity and sorority property in Douglas county was placed on the tax rolls in the summer of 1930, previous to which time greek letter property had been exempt from taxation under a state statute.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1933
The fraterities and sororites organized and obtained the services of a Topeka law firm. A temporary writ of mandamus was sought directly in the supreme court to compel the officials to remove the property from the tax rolls. The case was a long, drawn out one, and was finally settled last spring when the supreme court ruled against the organizations.

Physics Class Rallies to Work Despite Rally
It doesn't sound possible, but it actually happened. A 9:30 class in premedic physics was in the midst of an intricate discussion of the day's assignment yesterday morning when the noise of the rally that was developing first reached Blake hall. The instructor, either felt particularly generous or was resigned to the apparent hopelessness of his cause, stopped the recitation, and suggested that perhaps it would be better to call it a day and go down to meet the team.
A tense silence fell over the room. The instructor looked at the class, and the class looked at the instructor. Finally one student cleared his throat. "Now, in that fifth problem," he began.
And without so much as a dissenting murmur, the class brought its attention back to the blackboard, and the instruction continued until the whistle blew.
Jayhawkers' Tie Game Features Big Six Play
Nebraska and Kansas Lead in Weekend Upsets; Missouri Stunned
By TOM MAHONEY
Kansas City, Mo. Oct. 9—(UP) —The secrease tie of Coach Adrian Lindsey's brilliant University of Kansas eleven with Notre Dame this weekend was the talk of the Big Six conference today.
Expected to provide only a warmup for the famous team which was supposed to be of national championship caliber, the Kansans not only turned back the Irish attack but almost won the game at South Bend.
Five times the Jayhawkers norrowly missed scoring. The Kansas forwards, particularly Ernest Casini and Pete Mehringer, continually smothered Notre Dame play and played the entire game with only one line substitution.
Other Big Six teams fared variously, two being defeated in the first losses chalked against conference members this season.
Nebraska bested Texas, 26 to 0, and Kansas state downed St. Louis, 21 to 14. Oklahoma lost to Tulsa, 20 to 6. Missouri lost to the Kirksville Teachers after defeating Central 31 to the day before defeated the Cyclone freshmornings 39 to 0.
Predict Title Battle
The Kansas showing against Notre Dame and the smooth play of the champion Nebraska team against Texas gave additional basis for belief that the Big Six title will go either to Lawrence or to Lincoln this year.
Couch D. X. Bible's team appeared to have everything in overwhelming the Texas eleven. George Sauer, Husker fullback, led the scoring with two touchdowns. Lanoue and Williams made the play; they could do little with the Nebraska line.
Oklahoma's loss to Tulsa was something of a surprise after the Sooner showing with Vanderbilt the previous week and lowered Oklahoma Big Six hopes considerably. Dunlap passed to Harris for the lone Sooner score.
Missouri Rooters Are Stunned Missouri's loss to the powerful Kirkville Teachers was not unexpected but the size of the score was a surprise. The crowd was described as stunned by the ease with which Don Faurot's players pushed down the Tiger varsity for three touchdowns in the first period. The gridiron resurrection at Columbia is still delayed.
Missouri Rooters Are Stunned
The first Big Six conference contests are scheduled next week with Kansas State playing Missouri at Columbia and Nebraska meeting Iowa State at Ames. Oklahoma will play Texas at Dallas and Minnesota will play Tennessee with Nebraska. Kansas will fill an open date with an exhibition against the freshmen.
Kansas State came from behind in the final quarter to defeat St. Louis in a night contest. A 50-yard dash by Droner Stoner gave Ralph Graham a chance to hit the line for the touchdown which turned defeat into victory.
Chicago, Oct. 10—(UP)—Football in the corn belt hit a new high today with Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska up among the nation's gridiron leaders.

KANSAS HONORS GRID SQUAD AT RALLY
The game Saturday probably closes affairs started by the late Knute Rocke, Two years ago, Mr. Rocke was the principal speaker at a football dinner in Lawrence for the University, Haskell, and high school players. At that time he agreed to play Kansas in a home-and-home arrangement. March 30, 1931, he dictated a letter to Dr. F. C. Allen, confirming the plans for the game in Lawrence last year and the one at Notre Dame this season. The letter never was signed, for the next day Rocke crashed to his death on a lonely fink in Kansas. His secretary sent the letter to Dr. Allen, who still treasures it.
« Notes of the Game »
Only twice since the dark ages of football history, when Notre Dame lost an opening game in 1896, have the Irish been tied in their first contest.
In the first half Kansas made five first downs to four for Notre Dame and gained 67 yards from scrimmage while the opposition made 57 yards.
Brinkman's attempted place-kick was just a little short and to the left of the goal posts.
Nick Lukats was the spark of the first and last Notre Dame drive. In seven of the opening eight plays following the kickoff Lukats hammered to midfield. Then he shot a pass diagonally across the gridiron to Jay Branshau, who was down on Kansas' 23 yard line.
The N. B. C. announcer, Don Wilson, said the punt of Ray Dumm's that went out of bounds on the four yard line was as pretty as he had ever seen.
The Jayhawkers delivered a slate at the theory that Notre Dame's strength rests on an army of players. Critics have forgotten that only eleven men can play at one time, and Kansas with one line substitution and three backfield refreshes had to be guarded of 30 members. Beach and Hafford eluded the entire game in the backfield.
Kansan Eleven Is Praised for Stand Against Irish
(Continued on page 3)
Press Accounts Say Notre Dame Is Lucky to Tie Jayhawkers
"Notre Dame, lucky to get a tie with Kansas in its first start last week, plays Indiana. . . " says an Associated Press dispatch. And that just about expresses the opinion of a group of well-known sport writers over the country, who have been hastily alibiing pre-game predictions of an easy victory for the Irish over the Jayhawkers.
The football columnists and writers have been lavish in their praise of the Kansas eleven and its fighting against the Irish. Coach Ad Lindey's pupils have been called "the most underrated team in the middle west," "the longest eleven Notre Dame will finish until it allows Southern California."
"Neither team scored," declared the Chicago Tribune, in its story of the game, "but it was Notre Dame which held Kansas to a tie, and Notre Dame, at the time, held Iowa to a tie, in confusion, demoralized as no Notre Dame eleven has been in many years."
South Bend papers, the evening of the game, carried streamer headlines saying "Notre Dame Ties Kansas," and "Notre Dame Holds Kansas to Tie." It is reported that Heartley Anderson, Ramblehead head coach, declared to his team the passing room after the game. 'I'm proud of Notre Dame for holding Kansas.'
Among the comments of various grid experts can be found many bouquets for the fight and spirit of the Jayhawk-ers.
"A powerful band of Jayhawkers from Kansas smashed Notre Dame tradition here this afternoon when they outfought and outplayed the Irish in the opening game of the year," was one expert's comment. "A Kansas football cyclone roared out of the western plains," said another. "to shove Notre Dame out of Derry, a Dutch grand tradition that has stood like Gibraltar for 32 years . . . It was the first time a Notre Dame team had been tied in the opening game of the season since 1901 . . .."
"With a little luck," he continued,
"just a small break, the bristling Jay-
hawkers might have trotted off with a
victory for their gallant, surprising
stand. As it turned out, the Jayhawkers
were possessors of probably the greatest
moral victory they ever carried away
from a football field."

NEEDY STUDENTS TO GET AID FROM COMMENCEMENT FUNI
The Board of Regents of the Kansas State schools at a meeting yesterday in Topeka found it necessary that one-third of the October salaries be drawn from the fee funds because of its depleted salary account. The other two-thirds will be taken as usual from the salary fund. This action was necessary since only 80 per cent of the tax levy has been collected.
The board also decided to ask the legislature to allow the transfer of a part of the Commencement fund to the student loan fund so that the needy students might not be forced to quit school. The University has accumulated about $12,000 in its Commencement fund. Special consent of the legislature is necessary to obtain the transfer.
Chancellor Lindley attended the meeting.

Dr. C. F. Nelson, head of the department of bio-chemistry of the School of Medicine, has been invited by the Jackson County Medical Society of Kansas City, Mo., to deliver a series of lectures this coming fall and winter on "Biophysics and Bio-Chemistry in Modern Medicine."

STUDENT SPIRIT REACHES CLIMAX AT PEP MEETING
"Swede" Carlson, former Kansas Grid Star, Dr. Allen, Lindley and Mike Getto Speak to Group
CROWD GREETS SQUAD
Few Students Attend Third Hour Classes With Rally in Session
More than 2,000 students gathered in the stadium last night for a rally in honor of the Kansas Jayhawkers, climaxing a day of activity as the University celebrated the return of its football team from South Bend. That the Jayhawkers' scoreless tie with the team was far far as the students were concerned was evidenced by the spirit of enthusiasm that prevailed all day on the campus.
With the special train carrying the team scheduled to arrive in Lawrence at 10:35, the spirit spirit began to develop as soon as 8:30 classes had ended. Ten or 15 minutes before the end of the next hour, a steady stream of cars was passing up and down the campus for the training session. The whistle blew, a goodly part of the student body was on the way to the Union Pacific station to meet the train.
Hundreds of cars jammed the station and the bridge, but after the efforts of the entire Lawrence police force had cleared the way for the cars bearing members of the team, the University flag, and a large sign declaring "We Beat Notre Dame," the crowd fell in line behind, and the process was on.
A rally at the city park consumed most of the 10:30 hour, but the next whistle found the crowd back on the Hill ready to stage another demonstration. The students gathered on the hill and demanded the suggestion of Dr. F. C. Allen, deferred further celebration until the meeting in the stadium last night.
"Swede" Carlson, a member of the undefeated Kansas team of 1908, Chancellor Lindley, Dr. Allen, and Mike Getto were speakers at the stadium meeting, with the line coach introducing those members of the team who could be persuaded to put an app on the radio, to guide the direction of J. C. McCanales, played, and Sergeant Roy, of the department of military science and tactics, set off a fireworks display that added both noise and color to the meeting.
