Games This Week
With three weeks of the 1922 football season behind and only four more weeks looming ahead, the Nebraska Cornshukers are again doped to win a Missouri Valley football championship. While Drinke will probably finish the season without a mark in her lost column, the Bullsplay play only two weeks before the final five and no one would question the relative strength of these two elevens.
Cornbuskers Invade East
The Kansas Agriges also have a percentage of 1,000, but the Bachman men are due to fail by the wayside either this week when they meet the North Dakota Governor on November 18 when they meet the Cornhuskers in Lincoln.
Nebraska goes east this week *t*
New York state where they tangle
with Synchase Saturday afternoon
The Cornhuckleurs have been touted as
one of the greatest trans in
the United States and the game Saturday
will give a good line on the relative
strength of the Dawson machine
eastern eleven. Synchase and
Nebraska played a scoreless tie at
Saturday.
The Oklahoma-Kansas game here this week will give a good line on theajwacker chances to hold Nebraska. While both Oklahoma and Kansas played the Kansas Argies 4 to 7 to it, it is generally conceded that the Sooners and theajwakers both outplayed the Marathon men. The Clark machine has its season and thegame Saturday will tell whether or not the shake-up in the Kansas backfield has solved the difficulty.
Drake Meets Ames Saturday
The Kansas Agrie-Missouri game at Columbia is hard to dope. While Missouri had a hard time defeating St. Louis University last Saturday and has not shown much this year, it is the opinion of local sport followers that the Aggies will have to show more than they did against the Jayhawkers to win from Missouri. The Tigers have an advantage of playing at home and will probably take the game.
Drake will probably send the Ames Cycles back to Ames with another mark in their loss column. Drake has a powerful line this year and the backfill shows flashes of offensive power. The Washington-Grimmel argument at Grimsel Saturday is just about a toss-up. Neither team has a Valley game. The Fliers have a slight advantage, however.

Accuracy to Be Keynote
"This year we are increasing the size of the annual one hundred pages, and adding over three hundred illustrations more than ever before, so [we] necessary that we call for material earlier than usual. We expect to verify every initial name, address, and every statement in the annual."

Make Appointments in November
"There are a number of good libros, and they are well equipped," and all are well equipped to take individual and group pictures such as are required for the Jayhawkker. I would suggest that appointments be made on Friday or Saturday, December is always a rush month, and January will be too late."
In order that they may be reproduced, all photographs must be glasses. Junior and Senior individual pictures must be size 480 inches, and group pictures will have a uniform height and determined by the photographer.
More Individual Pictures

"This year, for the first time," said Mr. Heckman, a colleague of the student government officers are to be individual pictures, and will be artistically mounted on a gray background for the annual. Photographers will assist students in getting the pictures right. All that is necessary is to tell them the pictures are for the Jayhawker."
Blanks will be mailed this week from the office to every Junior and Senior, and every organization, according to the business manager, on which requests may be made for space re-venue. Prior to this year glasses were left with the photographer to be picked up b the editor, and then it is the student who one bring his gloss in person to the Jawhacker office, where a blank will be supplied for the individual's record.

Over in Snow Hall is mounted the hide of a skunk which has done a very unusual thing for a skunk—proved that K. U., women are not merely pretty and useless, but are capable of showing great bravery.
Skunk Proves Valor Of University Women
The two young women are members of a class in mammals, and as a part of their duties must trap animals, prepare the hide, and mount them. Not long ago one of the professors in another department informed them that a ground hog had been lukking about his home for several days, and gave them permission to trap it.
One dark night the young women set their traps and awaited the results, which were quite unexpected. For the next morning they had caught the offender. He was not a ground hog, but a beautiful black skunk. How to get the animal out of the house? It might be the cement the women invaded. Snow Hall and capture all the either and chloroform in the building.
When they returned to the victim they administered the ether and chloroform by turns until the animal could be gotten from the trap. He is now on exhibit as an emblem of their courage and bravery.
Pay Up Week For Kansas Memorial Starts Saturday
Semi-Annual Payments Duo Now—Pledges Received Room 108 Fraser
University Pay-Up Week for the K. U. Memorial has been set for the week of November 4 to 11, inclusive, to Sherman G. Elliott, KISSERPHY
"Coming as it does at a time when students most appreciate the advantages of the stadium, we feel the week is an appropriate one," said Mr. Eliot. "Many student pledges were made in February to pay little semi-annually, and most of them come due November 1 and May 1."
Under this plan of payment, according to the treasurer, the amount due at this time is small for each individual. On $100 pledges, $12.50 is due and on $600 pledges $6.25 is due, and proportionally with pledges of other amounts.
"Progress in construction of the stadium and the union have a very close relationship with the Corporation's financial condition," Mr. Ehlert pointed out. "At present a total of $278,000 has been spent on the stadium, and this amount has not been entirely paid. Until it is, and when it is treated in court, there will be doubtful that more building will take place."
Prof. H. L. Butler, dean of the School of Fine Arts, and Mrs. Butler returned Sunday morning from a concert tour. The Butlers gave six concerts, the last one, given at Shawne, being the 250th concert they have given.

Discover Valuable Ores Near Ashland is Repor
"Kansas rock formations are not productive of silver or gold ores," was a statement by R. L. Grider, assistant professor in the department of mining engineering. Lead and zinc are found frequently in deposits in the Rocky Mountains; ore have been received by the department of mining of the University.

Large Demand For Graduate Engineers, Says Dean Walker
Conference at Manhattan Discusses Advisibility of Five Year Course in Engineering
"The demand for graduate engineers is much larger than can be satisfied," saill P. F. Walker, dean of the School of Engineering, this morning. "Although civils and technicians are more in demand in this part of the country, the scarcity is very evident in other branches of engineering as well." he continued. "We have been made all fall and we are experiencing difficulty in finding the men for the places."
N, T. Veatch, e'09, of the firm of Black & Veach, consulting engineers, Kansas City, Mo., was in Dean Walker's office this morning hunting for a young engineer whom he might place.
The advisability of extending the courses of engineering over a five-year period was discussed at the meeting of the Kansas-Nebraska section of the Society for Promotion of Engineering Education. The meeting was held at Manhattan last Friday and Saturday, and was attended by fifty-eight members from the engineering schools of the two states.
"Industries of the present day are realizing that it is necessary to have a competent engineer permanently connected with each organization," said Prof. A. H. Slus, of the School of Engineering, "There are," he continued, "inunable ways in which the services of an engineer are indispensable, and real efficiency cannot be had without one."
Due to lack of data on the subject,
no general opinion could be formed
in answer to the problem. The methods
of training engineering instruction
were discussed and some notable
in present methods were well exposed.
The latest Kansas mann to be placed is Ira Barber, B. S. 22., who has joined the engineering staff of the University Portland Cement Company at Chanute.
