Jayhawkers Ready for Tigers MISSOURI AND KANSAS ENGAGE IN THIRTIETH ANNUAL CLASSIC Homecoming Game Tomorrow Promises to be Greatest of All Historic Struggles Waged Between the Sister Universities DOPE ON CONTEST IS UNCERTAIN New Material Will Appear in the Jayhawker Lineup When Boone Goes in at End and Krueger at Half Position The Missouri and the Kansas football teams, both pointed toward the greatest game that either has fought this season, are ready for the opening whistle at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Entering in the first M. U.-K. U., classic which a crowd will view from a Stadium on McCook Field. What's happening in this picture? What's it all about? Will the goat come in contact with Mr. Tiger? If so will the goat's head be sort? Notice the expression on the man's face. What is he thinking about?—or has he tim to think? Where does the "Thanksgiving" element come in? Two dozen Missouri gridiron warriors, confident of victory, have left their lair to invade the nest of the Jayhawk, who although the "dope" is against them, is more likely that human strength makes possible. Coach Clark's men are prepared for the most important fray of the year. To win this game means a successful record — not in the minds of the Jayhawks. Many hard-fought battles since athletic relations between the two state universities started in 1891 have been won and lost by both sides. This year promises another close struggle. Twenty thousand spectators are expected to view the thirtieth annual football contest between Tiser and Jayhawk. The Stadium capacity will be taxed to the limit. Extra seats have been provided to accommodate the crowd. Wanted—A Title For This Picture Mystery and uncertainty are the big factors surrounding the approaching 1921 Kansas-Missouri Turkey Day game. No one is sure of the line-up for the two teams; even the weather is a question. But gistest cool is the result of the game it is there among all the disinterested dopesters of the valley in his own heart that either one or the other of the contestants will come out victorious in the annual classic? Out of Missouri comes the report that their captain will be sitting on the side lines when the referee blows the starting whistle. "Pistols" Clark, Jayhawk mentor, is strongly considering the injection into his machine 46. LEE WEIDLEIN, guard or can absolutely unknown quantity as far as the fans are concerned. Boone, a man who has been in no way started in the fall, will be started at end in place of the veteran MacDonald. Also, the Kansas team will have for its left half back, Max Krueger. He has not worked regularly this year either. And as to the result of the struggle. What a conjecture? Missouri is strong. Kansas is strong. Dope so far this fall has proved unreliable. And if dope were to be counted on, it would prove the point, look for indication in this contest. Kansas has lost more games, but she has played more formidable foes. Kansas won from the Aggies and the Tiger lost to them. Kansas lost to the Giants and the them. Kansas is playing at home, before their own great new stadium, whereas the Tiger will have the discomfort, if there be discomfort in it, of working before the hosts of the game, if there be a nightly to work before too! According to the latest seat sale reports, near 20,000 cagar rooters will hover around the field tomorrow to watch the ancient rivals surge back and forth across the green, white striped dirtlords. Hundreds of loyal sons and daughters of the Crimson Plus have drifted in this after- must for the homecoming celebration and the game. Thousands will augment the numbers tonight and tomorrow morning. BULLETIN FRESHMEN WIN OLYMPICS Results of the events are as follows Obstacle race, *ton* by the fresh men. Soccer game, forfeited to sopho mores. rates to this picture should be sent to the Editor of the Kansan before midnight tonight. The best answer will be revealed tomorrow afternoon on the new Stadium Field. Tug-of-war won by freshmen. Rug race won by sophomores. Sack race won by yearlings. Winter cap won! hat has o wear frozen caps next spring. To promote a new spirit of hospitality in the Valley, Chancellor Lindley has made the suggestion that even the university should take charge of a visiting student from Missouri on the day of the big game. Then, says the Chancellor, when Kansas visits Columbia next year the courtyard will undoubtedly be filled. The Nu Sigma Nu won the football game today from the Phi Beta Pi by a score of 3 to 0. Of course, students, citizens and alumni are supposed to do all in their power to take care of and entertain all visitors, but the proper place for the rank and file of the students, thinks the Chancellor, is to help the visitors from the stronghold of the ancient enemy. FILE BIG LIBEL SUIT AGAINST K. C. POS' Charges Brought by E. and A F.Schested of Kansas City Kansas City, Nov. 23.—A flagel sold totalling $400,000 in amount was filed today against the Kansas City Post and a bona fide defendant by Frank Schested, circulation manager of the Kansas City Star, in which it was alleged that he took his country was attacked in recent editorial in The Post. N. Watson, attorney for Schected, announced that a similar suit for a similar amount will be filed against The Post by Augustus F. Schected, general manager of the Star, who was attacked and declared to have been guilty of violating an un- sayably after this country had entered the late war, in the same editorial. The commitment was dated for Friday and at that time it will be thrashed out before circuit court whelchee Smith will actually be placed Scheated claimed his good name among all good people was injured to the extent of the damages asked by the editorial, which he declared false. D. Smith, managing editor of The Post, was ordered to fail for contempt of court today by a notary of the public before whom his dispositions were being taken concerned with stated information in the editorial. Students to Entertain Missouri Guests on Day of Game LINDLEY URGES HOSPITALITY IDEA ABOUT HOLIDAY ON MONDAY NOT TRUE nancellor Says Semester Has Been Cut Up Too Much Already HOPES CUTS WILL BE FEW Libraries and Laboratories t Be Kept Open During Vacation That a holiday next Monday, in case Kansas is victorious tomorrow, would be in order, along with a big time, bonfire parade, and other festivities, is entirely a mistaken idea, according to Chancellor Lindley. "I believe that the students feel that this semester has already been too much cut up," said the Chancellor today. "Quite the contrary to having an extra holiday, many of the libraries and authorities have to accommodate students who wish to study during the vacation. Besides I do not believe in paying for patriotism, which would be a Monday holiday would amount to." To this the Chancellor added that he believed in the Kansas team which would trot on out the field tomorrow. That the Stadium will have a positive effect on our team and a negative effect on Missouri's is his opinion, "Our team is new and theirs is veteran," he said, "but this will be offset by fact that we play in our Stadium". I hope no one will subject himself to the Chancellor, "believing that our victory is an excuse for absence, because there will be no excuses of this nature accepted. Homecoming Hints The new Commons will be able to take care of as many people as can get inside the doors tomorrow. Arrangements have been made to sell plate lunches at Robinson Gymnasium to take care of the immense crowd that will be wanting to eat tomorrow noon. The restaurants down town have made special preparations to handle the crowd. JOHN BOONE, right end CHARLEY BLACK, left end The Board of Directors of the Memorial Corporation will hold a meeting at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning in the Alumni office. The judges reviewing stand for the parade has been built in front of Dyche Museum. Fifteen hundred pencils have been ordered by Alfred G. Hill, alumni secretary for the ushers who will pass out the "I Was There" cards at the game. Each usher will have ten pencils. FIGHTIN' TOM SORE; "K. U. LACKS FIGHT" The crowd that will be at the game tomorrow will be larger than the crowds that used to assemble in Kansas City for the K. U.-M. cont. Judges of the floats in the parade tomorrow will be Bert Berl, president of the Chamber of Commerce, C. C. Williams, and U. G. Mitchell. The prizes will be given to the winners immediately after the game. Topeka, Nov. 23. —"Partly cloudy tonight and tonight, and warmer tonight." This is the only prognosis that F. D. Floran, state meteorologist, told me. The weather would be for the Kansas-Missouri game on Thanksgiving. Turkey Day Weather. Student Body Will Make Formen Star Change His Onion lawrence Chamber of Commerce to Feature Entertainment at Gym TO BIG FESTS TONIGHT J. C. GROVER Referee DR. J. A. RIELLY Headlinesman "Fightin'" Tom Smith—sometimes known as "Cussin" Tom™—thinks that the Old School doesn't have the spirit any more. "What has become of the old he raisin' fighting spirit that used it characterize Kansas football teams and student bodies? I won't even stay for the game. I am going to Kansas City, get a room, and pray for Kansas to win," said Fightin' Tom today. But regardless of the opinion of the famous star of the late nineties, there is plenty of pop being generated on the hill now. AIRPLANE VIEW OF THE TEAMS "These remarks will be one of the season's biggest jokes," said Sandy Winsor, cheerleader, this afternoon. CLYDE WILLIAMS UMPIRE farm, the theater, and Sandy Manson, cheerleader, this afternoon. All K. U. past and present will rally tonight on Homecoming eve at two great entertainments, both innovations to the University—the "Hallford" for Hollison Gymnasium, and the "Gabbit" for Worcester. Myers Hall. Plans have been worked out by the last iota, according to Professor Hungerford, chairman of the University Homecoming committee, and the greatest pre-Thanksgiving celebration ever is expected.

Allen, Today MISSOURI KANSAS EXPECT 3,000 FANS FROM MISSOURI Freshman Olympics, Homecoming Concert, "Bullfest" and Rallies, County Pageant, Cross Country and All-University Party Are Features Work on Administration Building Begins in Spring Crowds, coming to the greatest Jayhawker homecoming ever held, are pouring into Lawrence from every direction today. Thousands of "old grads," former students, and visitors are already here for the celebration and others are coming in every hour. Never before in the thirty years history of football relations between Kansas and Missouri, has there been such a setting. Everything which has been planned for the occasion is in readiness, and the visitors will be entertained at all times. R. T. Gambie, state architect, and his assistant Mr. Guyer, of Topeka, were in conference Tuesday with Chancellor E. H. Lindley, Dean F. J. Kelly, and Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith concerning the completion of the Administration Building which is to be begun in the spring. A conference was also held during the day with Prof. Earl W. Manchester, director of the libraries of the University, concerning the plans for the new library unit provided by the appropriations of the last legislature. At all by these conferences are not for publication at the present time. Small Admission Fee of Twenty five Cents Will Go Into Stadium Fund LAWS AND ENGINEERS BATTLE DECEMBER Although the game tomorrow afternoon closes the football season as far as the Missouri Valley is concerned, it does not stop the interest in the sport at K. U. The big question is whether Engineering and the School of Law is still to be played. This will be held, weather permitting, on the afternoon of Thursday, December first. From the line-up the laws seem to have a slight advantage, but taken all in place, they are real game. The probable line-ups are: Laws Pos. Engineers Hodges R.H. Bunn Stover L.H. Kane Spurgeon Mifflin, F.B. Moosey Farrell, Calvert, Q.B. Terry Sproul Sproul Davidson R.T. Cave Jones R.G. Freize Holderman C. Saunders Woody L.G. Reeday Miller L.G. Reeday Pierson L.E. Kendall Balwin The Laws will probably be captained either by "Pete" Jones, or Warren Woody, and John Bunn will head the Engineer eleven. Coaches Geo. "Potts" Clark and Carl Schladman will be the officials for the game. They will also start next Monday, allowing each team three days in which to get its plays organized. It is very doubtful if other team will undertake any scrummage before the game, as there will not be time for the players to recover from any possible injuries or stiffness. Equipment for the game may vary depending on association and will be checked out to the players the day of the game. The plan at the present time is to charge an admission of twenty-five cents to the game. The proceeds of the game are to be turned over to the Stadium Corporation for the Memorial Fund. Fire of unknown origin starting in the basement of the home of Prof. W. A. Dill, of the department of journalism, was extinguished by the department today at noon before any damage was done to the house. "There will be seats for everyone regardless of the size of the crowd," said Dr. F. C. Allen, today. The stadium has been re-checked three times, each time for the demand for tickets which has been increasing every day. Dr. Allen has made arrangements for seating 20,662. The regular concrete Stadium seats will accommodate 14,976 persons; the north bleachers will take care of 1,764 and the south bleachers will hold 1,470. The old baseball bleachers which have been built at the ends of the field will hold 692 persons. On the cinder track, circling the bleachers, treadways will be brought into use after the stands have been filled. These treadways will hold 480 persons. From Columbia tomorrow morning, come three thousand roots, the largest crowd that has ever made the trip to Lawrence. They will stage a parade in Kansas City Day morning and will arrive in Lawrence on special trains about noon. Other special trains arrive every hour Thursday morning, and will begin departing immediately after the game. A program for the two-day celebration with something doing all the time for both men and women, has been prepared by the homecoming committee. The program began Wednesday af- MAX KREUGER, halfback ternooon with the annual Freshman-Sophomore Olympics on the Stadium field. The stadium was inspected at the time of the event, a number of "grads" and visitors present. The women will hold a rally beginning at 7 o'clock on North College Hill, where a big bonfire will be built. After the rally the women will go to Myers Hall where the women's mixer and general "Welcome Home" will be held in the gymnasium by the undergrounds of the W A. A., Y. W. C, A. and the W. S. G, A. Tonight at 8 o'clock the K. U. band will give a homecoming concert in Fraser chapel, under the direction of the band of the Cafe de Vivre. No admission will be charged. The County Club pageant will move promptly at 9 o'clock Thursday morning. In the parade will be nearly one hundred floats representing the history and the resources of Kansas, and of the University, special characters, letters, and symbols. The line of march will be north on Massachusetts street to Seventh street, west on Seventh街 to Indiana street, and south on Indiana and Oread streets to Fraser Hall where the parade will disband. The cross country race between Kansas and Missouri will start at 10:45 o'clock Thursday on the campus, the finish being downtown.
