Jayhawkers Lose To Nebraska Team On Slippery Field
NUMBER 4
Cornbuskers Administe First Kansas Defeat In Memorial Stadium, 28-0
With McAdams attempting a kick from behind his own goal line, a red swattered player broke through the Kansans and blocked the kick. A Nebraska man covered the ball but not before it had touched the end fences. Before the game the ground rules agreed upon provided that in any such case only a safety would be counted.
The two teams fought on even terms during the first quarter. The ball was first in Nebraska and then in Kansas territory, each eleven being forced to punt after several attempts at the line. It was while Kansas was punting that the first Cornhusker score was marked up.
The Kannas Jayhawkers, after maintaining a clean record for more than a year, lost their first game in the Stadium Saturday when, fighting against heavy odds and playing on a slippery field and in a drizzling rain, they fell before the Cornshurk machine, 28 to 0. Never once did the Kannas eleven threaten the Nebraska line.
Scherer Races 40 Yards
The second quarter was also bitter fought and Nebraska had only a slight advantage. The Cornhuskers score came through a Kansas error and a lucky catch by Scherer, Nebraska end. McAdams, attempting to pass, was rushed by two Lincoln linemen who batted the ball into the arms of Scherer. The Nebraska end, with a clear field ahead, raced across eight chalk marks and planted the ball behind the Kansas goal posts.
Then a slight rain started to fall and for the rest of the second quarter and most of the third period, it rained briskly and steadily. And with the first drops of rain the Jawahar chances for a victory and even to score slipped swiftly away. Early in
the first quarter the Kansans had played a passing game and the rain continued alpine snow impossible.
Fought with Backs to Wall
The slippery field stopped the Kansas backs on end runs, while the Nebraska linemen, outcharging the Jay team, continued, cramped in ineffective ineffective.
Held on 5-yard Line
Fought with Backs to Wall
For the remainder of the game the Clark machine fought with its back to the wall. The Nebraskans drove down the field and except on two openings, they went through to stop the Cornhuskers. The red weareded backs punctured the Kansas consistently for good gains.
Only twice did the Jayhawkers have possession of the ball in Nebraska territory. Two separate times in the first quarter, the Kansans had the ball on the Cornhusker 35-yard line only to lose it, once by a fumble and the other time on an intercepted forward pass. The rest of the time the Kansans were never inside the Nebraska 50-yard line.
Twice during the game the Kansas eleven showed the stonewall defense which has characterized the Jahyawker team during the season. On two occasions, with the ball inside its 5-yard 'no,' the Jahyawker defense stiffened

ntelligence Tests
May Have Value Or
Danger, Says OBrien
All Elements of Success in Lif are Not Tested by Measurements of Group
"The great dangers in this field lie in applying identical instruments of measurement to a group," according to Professor OBrien. "It is apt to be assumed that the result of the tests are absolute. But intelligence and success in learning succeed of success in life. However, it is possible for the faculty to determine with a high degree of probability the success and failure of every member of the entering class. The situation is most likely to explode where some would rush in and classify all as to their successes and failures by which conclusion can be made; a conclusion should be based on the results of two or three tests."
"The so-called intelligence tests have great potential value, but they also have great potential danger, and without direction they are charged with dynamite," said Cruz F. P. OBrien, professor of education and director of the bureau of Educational Research and Testing at K. U., in his talk on "A Program of High School Testing" at the conference on Educational Measurements Friday afternoon.
Professor Orien believes that we should cease to think of group measurements as intelligence tests but as a classification of students as to their ability to deal with school subjects. "A program of testing should include students who do not speak the speaker; *a* testing for classification or prophecy of the success of the individual, and a testing for educational results or for diagnosis."
In speaking of the first type of tests, Professor O'Brien said that they were justified in that the instruction might be adapted to the pupils, and the pupil as well as the teacher should know his own type of ability.
"The results of the tests should be used for educational guidance which should precede vocational guidance," Professor O'Rienn pointed out. "Only as the tests are carried back through the curriculum, the classroom is the test completed and a fair attempt made to test the learning scale. Only as the pupil compares his standing with that of others do we get stimulation to individual learners." The tests are on the records of the school are we ready to use them."

Vital Educational Problems Appear At State Conclave
Fine Attendance Recorded For Superintendents' Conference At University Friday Afternoon
Common-sense testing of pupils by the teacher, instruction in reading-methods, and the potential dangers and values of the so-called intelligence tests which are being given in schools over the state, were some of the topics covered in the conference for state superintendents which was held at the University on Friday, November 10.
The conference was very well attended and the delegates were representatives of classes of schools over the state in which problems of instruction are being solved, the interest are dominating the minds of the faculties. In an increasing ratio each year, more marked in the past ten years, educational leaders have been giving more of their attention to research than instruction than they formerly gave.
Buckingham Was Speaker
B. E. Buckingham, director of the Bureau of Educational Research at Chicago, IL, and Dr. James Cohn, in a speech before the conference in France Chapel on Friday afternoon, said, "Three things enter into the makeup of the truly successful teacher of children: personality, voice, and individual method of procedure. All three of these factors go unanimously into the molding of the student's character." In describing what the teacher is must be found in the impression on the student. "In considering the marking and grading by different types of teachers, Mr. Buckingham asserted, "To test the ability of grading, duplicates of an examination paper of a child were given to every teacher, and copies by the various teachers in L. Their grades ranged from a value of 10 per cent to that of 190 per cent. If 75 per cent were passing grades, one half of the teachers would have flanked the student, while the other half would have passed him. This disability of grading applies to a broader group than to teachers; it is
Are Charged With Dynamite
**Are failures dynamic?**
No, without proper direction the tests will fail. Even when the student are charged with dynamics was the statement made by Prof. P. F. Olbrien of the School of Education of the University Fifth afternoon. "The great dangers in this field lie in applying identical instruments of measurements to a group." This is not possible unless the result to be assumed that the results of the tests are absolute. But intelligence tests do not test all the elements of success in life. However, it is possible for the faculty to determine with a high degree of probability the success and failure of every member enterring into a course. More than certainly be based on the results of two or three tests."
Some striking results of testing programs are recorded. In ninety-eight one-teacher schools in third class cities where the tests were given, none of the grades were up to standard in the Curtis Reading Test. In the Curtis arithmetic test the seventh grade was only up to the third grade standard. In spelling 67% of the fourth grade and 43% of the eighth grade were below standard. In the seventh B grade, the students stood higher in arithmetic than at any time during their high school career.
Results, concluded Professor OBrien should be used for educational guidance which preceeds vocational guidance. When the pupil gets the results he is going to do better than to do a better grade of work than he is doing. he will respond.

Of Kansas Now Complete
The directory of Civic Organizations of Kansas has been compiled and minoographed by the Municipal Reference Bureau at the University of Kansas. This directory was made possible through the co-operation of the secretaries of the various Chambers of Commerce and the city clerks associated with the municipal which was out by the Municipal Bureau.
The cost of compiling and minicomputing these directories was so great that a charge of 50 cents each for them was made to supplement the limited funds available for the work.
Alumni Association Asks New Name For Graduate Magazine
Title Should Imply that Monthly is for Both Former Students and Graduates.
A meeting of the K. U. Alumni Association was held Friday evening, November 10. Authorization was given to submit to the Association a plan for receiving suggestions for a name for the Graduate Magazine.
The present name of the Graduate Magazine has been considered inadequate, in asmuch it is imply that it is a magazine for graduates only. The Alumni Association also serves former students of K. U., and a distinctive K. U. name is sought which might show by its name, that it is published for all former students and graduates of the University.
A resolution was passed at the meeting showing appreciation for the act of the Kansas State Agricultural College in withdrawing its claim for part of the $500,000 appropriation for dormitories. Other schools throughout the state, including K. U., are thereby benefited, since they are enabled to have larger dormitories. K. U. alumium pledged their support to aid the Agricultural College in getting a dormitory appropriation at the University. The K. U. alumium in attendance were Hall H. Kimbali, Parsons, president of the Association; Alberta Corbin, Lawrence, vice-president; Alberta Elder, Beloit; Mrs. C. W. Smith and Mrs. J. H. Sawell, Topken; Sr. Living Hill, Lawrence; and Mrs. T. Walker, Lawrence.
Imagine, if you can, a city of 120,000 inhabitants, where every single person is totally blind, where doctor, lawyer, mercenary, chief, along with the rich man, poor man, doqarman, oil are all in the same boat-sightless!
America Could Have A City Of The Blind
America has the makings of just such a city. There are more than 120,000 totally blind people in the United States, and many times that number partly blind. The terrible part of it is that more than 57% of them are in clasped as preventable, a large portion being a result of eyestrain.
Blindness in America has decreased more than 20 per cent since glasses has become more common. Every other country has a far greater percentage of blindness, and they show a yearly increase.
Three of every ten American women wear glasses. Statistics prove that seven of each ten have enough eye-cramer to augment the wearing of correcting lenses.
House Decoration Contests May Be School Precedent
Committee Hopes Scheme Used This Year Will Be Lasting Homecoming
Feature
"The contest for the best decorate house for Homecoming was a success and similar contests will probably b held on important occasions in th future," said Prof. U. G. Mitchel who was on the committee for judging the winners. "The Phi Beta I house won the loveup in the men's contest, and if we have these contests in the future it might b well for decorators to remember that the Phi Beta PI house won became a man was decorated show on unified concept of what the day stoo for.
"The flags of the allied nations above the shield of American represented the spirit of Armistice Day. The 'K. U.' and "Home" N. U." Welcome" signs would suggest to anyone greetings to return graders and visiting Nebrakanks, and then, besides, they had the green and white electric braces they wore. The decorations gave a rather small house a striking appearance by day and by night, and they interpret the spirit of the day."
The Acorns house, which receives honorable mention for having the second best decorative scheme for the fraternity houses, also showed up well by night as well as day. At night, the 1000 wall spotlight on the roof of "Ye Taverne" across the street光照了 the house beautifully. The "Howdy Hunkers" on the front of the house made of ears of red corn on a white background with the Jay-hawker feeding corn to the corn sheller above it and the "Greetings balls" made up of decorated Hunks playing and the games, but left out the patriotic side of the walls. Shocks of corn and corn cobs and pumpkin outlining the walle made a beautiful vard effect.

The Alpha Chi Omega house received the loving cup for the women's division. In talking about the contest Dean Blitz said, "Some did not decorate the houses in the real sense of the word. They left the houses alone and fixed decorative apparitions. The Alpha Chi Omega house used a lot of work and ingenuity decorating a house rather difficult to decorate. The chrysanthemum and tulip designs were the Beauty of design went with the house and they put across the idea 'Welcome Home.'"
The Alpha XI Delta house received honorable mention for the women's division. Their decorations were clever. A big Jayhawk was feeding corn to six or seven little Jayhawkers in a nest.
The two loving cups are to be donated by H. B. Ober and Sol Marks & Son.

Memorial Hymn
year
The following lines were written for the dedication of the Kansas Memorial Stadium, by Rev. Mark Mohler of the Unitarian Church of Lawrence;
Within the light on Oread's Hill Above the valley's golden beauty, Our comrades' spirit hovers still— The memory of their faith in duty. They died that we might have the peace For which mankind has striven. Their call to us will never cease: "Give ye alway as we have given."
Fumbling Players Must Carry Ball For a Week
Memorials built of stone and sand
Will crumble with the flight of ages
But lives of sacrifice will stand
In human hearts' enduring pages.
In war, in peace, at work, at play,
By sloth allured, by passion driven,
Be curs th' faith and love to say:
"We'll give alway as we have given."
Because seven of his players fumbled the ball in the game with Valparaiso University Saturday, Coach Ralph Young, of Kalamazoo College, gave each of the men a football at the close of the contest and ordered they carry the pikers with them every time they went during the next week.
*Should any of them be found without the ball in their possession, no matter where it was, during the week they would be removed from the team.
Kalamazoo won from Valparaiso, 21 to 15, the visitors making their touchdowns as a result of fumbles.
America's Foremost Violinist Plays Here In Concert Tonight
Mr. Spalding as an Ex-Served Man Has Interesting Experiences to Tell
He passed the examination for professorship in the Bologna Conservatory at the age of 14, later going to Paris to study with LeLeftoit. He made his professional debut in Paris when he was 18 years old, and toured Europe with tremendous success during 'the season' 1908-1909, when he made his American jubile in New York. Last year he toured France, Holland, Belgium, England, Egypt, and Italy.
During the war, Mr. Spalding enlisted with the first troops that went to France and like many other ex-service man, has some funny experiences to tell. One of his favorite stories is of the trip across the English Channel on a transport during which he was down below decks with several hundred other doughbags. He says that it was cold down there; so he was delighted when officers up in the city wanted him to play them wanted to hear him say.
All he thought about was a chance to play the longest piece he could and stay in a comfortable room as long as possible. The Chaconne of Bach occurred to him as the thing, so he started it, but in about three minutes the captain sent word to "quit" and must attract a submarine." So the disoriented list picked up his fiddle and went below.
Albert Spalding, America's foremost violinist, will give the second concert of the University Concert Course this evening at 8:20 o'clock in Robinson Gymnasium. Mr. Spalding has studied both in this country in New York, with Jean Buitrago in New York and later in Florence with Chili.
Mr. Spalding's playing has always been notable for sincere musicianship and superactive technique. His stage bearing is aristocratic and dignified.

Next Sour Owl Announced
Editors Ask For Material For Christmas Edition
Following the advent on the hill Friday of the "Who's Her" Sour Owl, which pleased its readers to the extent that every copy was sold, the editors announce that the next num- ber of events will take place before the Christmas vacation starts.
"The success of the 'Who's Who' number of the Sour Owl was due to the fact that at the last minute as flood of material reached the editors," Chet Shore said today. "In order to make the holiday edition even better we are making the announcement as early as possible. We want copy used can be printed in the stuff not number, but with a different idea dominating the magazine we must have a great deal of fresh material."
Anything pertaining to campus interest is desired by the editors. Short stories, jokes, cartoons and editorials are wanted. "Now that the Owl has fown, the students should know what kind of material we want," said one of the editors this morning, "and we must have it early, because only a month remains of time before vacation starts."
