Prof. John F. Cox, co-curator of the event, cated yesterday that the only action taken at the present time by the University would be through the Council. City Attorney C. C. Stewart said yesterday that filing charges by the men's student council included the action of the Men's Student Council tomorrow and the hearing of more detailed reports that the men had presented. He indicated that it was possible that no action would be taken by the city in event of efficient handling by the court. No charges have been filed against the 31 students arrested Friday morning by the police. They were virtually unaccounted. Possible charges include prowling and trespassing on private property. The men were not killed, but were required to spend the latter part of the night in the police station. "We want to co-operate with University officials in every way possible," he said. A fraternity "active" today said that their pledges, who were arrested by police on charges of being wary, were merely walking on a public street when a car drew up and asked them to step aside. They tried, the neophytes accepted, but they soon discovered that it was a man. Three other men were arrested earlier by the Douglas county officials and have been arranged in justice for their arrests, and were not released until Friday noon.

Jayhawkers Beat Drake,28-27,in Third Iowa Clash Thomson Stars by Caging Two Goals in Last Few Minutes of Contest The battle was a hard fought affair, throughout as have been all three of the games. The player proved a much faster and harder game in the last half than any of the other Coming through in the final minutes of the last game of the three day trip into Iowa, with terrific driving power, the Kansas dayhawkers contend in a row from Duke University at De Morgan Last night, 28 to 27. Thomson's Point Wins Game Russell "Run" *Tunny* again proved the hero of the day and the life saver for the Kansans when he joined one in the final moments to put the Jawbreakers in the lead by one point. Drake in Lead at Half Only three minutes before that time when the Kanaans were trailing by three points, Thompson dropped the ball in the basket from a distance to give the dashwakers a spirit that would allow their force for the remainder of the game. The first half was a different story for the Kannans, as Drake went into the game with a three-point line of the game and was leading in the half 14 to 10. With a characteristic forceful backhand the Jayhawkers scored in the second half and soon tied the count at 14 to 14. Drake was leading again with five minutes to play, 27 to 24. How it went: Drake led by a pass from the counter that gave the Kannada the spirit to continue the speed of offense and keep his shot near the end of the game again that saved the Kannada from free fall. Newland Scores Four The offense of the Kansas group was driving and always forward with a lightning speed, which made it possible. Newland also showed up well for the hatchwheels by dropping in. Hill, cocaptain, played a hard game with 60th center and forward, taking the ball from the opposing team failed to show the speedy work expected of him. Nevertheless Dodd is showing much improvement and is likely to play at the style of the Jawayker backcourters. Barnes, guard on the Drake mute, was the scoring aisle for the balldogs, and they were in the mix again, but this time on the Kansas court, but this Thursday night.
