Memorial Stadium Celebrates Tenth Anniversary Date
Structure Started After
$900,000 Had Been
Raised Through
Pledges
SEATS 33.000 PEOPLE
A mighty stadium, a riotous crowd
banners waving a cheering welcome—
are the creators to the alumni of the
school. It's an institution for the annual homecoming game tombow between Kansas and Missouri
universities. This game, strong with
rivalry, will be played in the Kansas
county which is celebrating its tenth anniversary.
No doubt some of these alumlok look back at days before the war, remembering the recessorion of KU's stand-up bowls, and the home of these alumloks were honeys on the old football field and baseball stadium, and grandstand which was built for enthusiastic baseball fans. This grandstand had ten rows of seats and even two taller stands. With only a roof for shelter it faced the north, and every wind which blew from the south struck its walls straight to the base reporters and visitors. On one cold November day during a football game it was noticed that the ball flew in the air, trying to warm them so he could continue writing. But there was no harm in such a noble deed for the girl
Stadium Boasts New Press Box
**Stadium Boxes** New Press Box
The press box new is in great condition and the banns a box press 100 feet long, with two rows of seats, the front one for six guests and the back for second row for guests. The box is completely glued in providing shelter from the elements.
During the war the old grandstaircase was turned down, for in 1918 old McCook and his students trained the students army training corps of the University. Until November of 1936, the K-24 team drilled and trained the stadium row stands, for their chance "over
After the war discussions arose about the memorial building which should be erected in honor of the University soldiers who had died in France. Finally a community on a stadium and a chapel were built, with the rating of pledges began and after $800,000 had been pledged the stadium was started. Ten years ago this fall the first units were erected and $200-ha had been spent on the first two units.
The Union building was started after more pledges were raised, and in order to ensure that the stadium could dressing rooms in the stadium, bonds were issued by the athletic association. These bonds are issued for all games of the stadium more bonds were issued. These bonds are being paid to players from other colleges. The memorial stadium, which seats 32,000 and is worth $900,000, has been built by the University of Iowa.
Expect to Slaughter 15.000 Hot Dogs to Appease Saturday's Football Crowd
Homecoming will be a great time for feeding, for not only will the Kansas Jayhawken, and the Missouri Tiger Cities witnessing the struggle in which two ancient rivals attempt to devour another, will have appetites which are difficult to digest. A number of pounds of food has been consumed. If the crowd numbers 30,000 an exertion of thirty percent of capacity, it will be necessary to slaughter 150 hot dogs, for one of every two potions at a football game devares a person. The crowded crowd will manifest by the 12,000 bottles of soda pop to relieve the putrefied lips and dry throats.
The sales cry made famous by Harry Levine, "Roasted" toasted = double jointed - California pe-s-n-uts*, will echo and goo-through the stadium.
State's First Football Coach Will Hear Game
Contest
Woman Stabs Ball to End P. H. Peirce's Second
Without all of the accountements of the modern game such as stadiums, old grades, and cheerleaders, football got lost in the modern world. P. H. Porter, prominent Lawrence merchant for many years, taught the students of the Waukee high school Rugby football which he had learned at Waubeck, Crawfordsville, Wayne county, laid.
He taught the pupils of the high school Rugby rules and a day was set or the first game. It was held during the first game, where there were them and they made so much noise that the townpeople came up to see what all the disturbance was about. He then asked the school board asked Mr. Poirez to discuss school at 3 p.m. the next day and told another game so that those who attended the first one could see a football game.
Mr. Poice had been superintendent of schools, Crawfordville before he became the assistant to the intention of going to San Bernardino, Calif., but while stopping at Manhasset on his way home, he placed a teacher who was ill, he was offered the position of superintendent of schools.
But Ala! Hardly had the game started the next day when the ball was thrown. It was hard to pass the irate lady rushed out and putet her into unconstrained pugnake with a butcher's knife. He knocked them they had, and according to Mr. Pierce, probably the only one in Kansas, the guy ran.

In addition to the three leaders, hot-dogs, soda pop and peanuts, 240 candy bars will be sold, 1,200 Ecko Pice, 500 Browns, 300 Popcorn, popper, and many dozens of chrysanthemums. A special feature will be introduced this year as gas balloons will be sold before and during the contest. The colors are orange and black, the respective colors of the homecoming rivals.

Since that time, Mr. Poire has been an interested follower of Kansas football and has worked on the engineering work on the Rock Island ridered when it came through here, and then went into the merchantable business to sell them present at nearly all the home games. Last year he took pictures of some of the kids who attended this year. This year you ooor to poor health, he listens to them over the radio, still an ardent fan of the sport he introduced to us.
"Speakeasy Hats" Arouse Feminine Reform Lead
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 19—(UP)—One of the first sisters of Mrs. Frederick Blair Clarke, state organizer and educational representative of the Missouri branch of the women's organization for prohibition reform, saw when she angrily declared that she was a display of "speakeasy hats" in the window of a downtown store.
The sight, Mrs. Clarke said, gave much the same feeling prohibition advocates used to have when they gazed at a free lunch sum.
A spokeswoman, it is should be explained, does not possess a distinguished degree in hospitality and cocktail glasses, nothing of the sort, it is simply a "small, fashionable hat,"

"It was significant of the casual manner in which we accept the speeches," Mrs. Clarke said in discussing the topic. "And I thought what merchant would have had the temerity to advertise 'salon hats?' who would have bought them if he had? It has become fashionable, and today has become fashionable and so general that social groups which would have ostracized the habitue of the saxophone players when defer to the speeches frequent."

Homecoming, an event backed forward to and back on by both students and faculty, took place on the Hill almost 18 years ago, under the guiding hand of Alfred B.
This first celebration seemed for avail to be the last, since with the advent of the World War shortly afterwards, school loyalty and feeling were practically overshadowed by the strength of the national spirit shown at the ceremony.
Doctor Yak also came into being in the 19th century. He was one of the leaders founded by C. C. Burd and Landow, who also organized the Ku Kai that year for the purpose of instilling Buddhist values.

In 1919, it was discovered that since the war was finished something should be done between alumni and the University, and plans were made for the Homecoming celebration of the beginning of the present tradition. This Homecoming celebration was under the direction of H. B. Hungerford, who acted as chairman of the program committee. To this game were invited all the old times among the athletes from the community, with the feature of the celebration was the Thanksgiving game held on the old campus.
Again in 1920 a celebration was held, this time on Nov. 13. Lawrence mergered with the University of the Homecoming alumun, and a special Homecoming edition of the Kantner College book, *The Homecoming* by all students and alumni of that time as the date of the famous event.
Special celebration on the day pre-
horsing Homecoming was introduced in
the stadium, with a special ball test for "Men Only"
in Robinson gymnasium. A parade
through the stadium was the all-University party held
the evening following the Missouri
game
Arnistion day was the date of the Homecoming celebration in 1922, with a special program broadcast from station WDFA at Kansas City. Kansas played Nebrasa this game, at which the new Memorial stadium was dedicated.
Stadium Dedicated
Although Boho day was first held in 1894 in the form of a "beer-bust" in Kansas City, the first celebration in the present form took place in 1928 with a special concoction, music by a hobo dance, and special costuming.
In 1923 and 1924 no special features were added to the regular celebration events with the exception of the international special program by gymnastics classes.
"Beat Mizzou" Starts
"Best Mizzuz," the popular about at so many of our Homecoming celebrations and Hoho days, was introduced in 1925. A concert given by the K. U.-M. U. glee clubs was held at this time, the "Old Timer' night celebration.
Homecoming was even more extensive in 1828, when the celebration, held on June 7th at the House of the Organized houses on the Hill and the presentation of exhibits by various departments. Gymsmuseum exhibited were members of the Kaman's edition of the Kaman was published.
The defeat of Missouri at the time of the 1827 celebration, and the broadcasting of a program over the University's campus in features. Houses were decorated again, and various organizations put on special parties for the Homecoming alumni. Departmental exhibitions were held in the windows of down-town stores.
Mascot. "Chalkie." Dies
The usual feeling of happiness at the time of Homecoming was slightly dampened in the year 1828 by the death of Sir Charles W. Blake, University, owned by the Pi U. Hoe day and the joint glee club concert between M. U. and the University.
The Kansan went in for celebrating in a big way in 1929 with a special ballgame, the evening preceding the games, and a mixer was held in the new Union building. The special edition of the Kansan for this time held an account of the skirts worn by women to determine whether or not they thought that skirts at least to the knee would be a good idea, and to be in favor of a slight lengthening.
Last year the celebration was attended by 500 graduates representing 10 states, among them both California and Arizona. "We were put up on the lamp posts, causing no little disturbance from those who desired them as souvenirs of their graduation," he said.
This year K. U. is celebrating the fourteenth Homecoming celebration at Walt Disney World. Turkey run, the Law-Media football game, and the big game with Misa-
