Professors Acompany Students Chancellor Snow and 15 other K., U. professors were among the excitable group which hustled to win the tournaments. Their destination was Kansas City, a neutral field where the supporters of each team were equally divided when it came to quantity, but the Jayhawks had the edge on yelling, according to the M. Hopkins, the manager of the team.
Missouri had the adventures of playing in her home state, but Kansas was so far away that she had to home and in a city where the K. U. roots were as numerous as the K. I. roots.

The theme for this year's Homecoming is to watch the struggle of 22 demons in the windwinds area. Students join with alumni in rejoicing in victory and sorrowing in defeat. Very few know that Homecoming—and it wouldn't so them a great deal of good if they did, for the origin of this great day must be quite shrouded in mystery.
Homecoming isn't so old and epicurean. Neither is its course espoused. It was held at the University of Illinois in 1911, when a special effort was expended to get alumni back into college.

and Homecoming day now is one of the greatest factors in securing the co-operation of the alumni for the University.
