intersectional Football Conflict Will be "Stadium Christening Game"
"KANSAS HONOR AT STAKE'
Bleachers Will be Razed at One
—Graded Before Ground
Freezes, Says Allen
K. U's new athletic stadium will be first used by the University next fall, when the fighting Jayhawks will induce in an intersectional battle with Notre Dame or Center in the "christening" game, according to plans announced today by Dr. Forests C. Allen, director of athletics.
Arrangements are now being worked out by Dr. Allen's office for a big interpersonal game, which will probably be the second game of the season, and the first one at home, with the Kentucky Cobnels, the Notre Dame Irishmen, or possibly Penn State or Washington State. The two games are the only games that will be played by them,Dr. Allen says, and a greater crowd can be accommodated than at any previous Jayhawk struggle.
"The honor of the state will be practically placed at stake," said Dr. Allen, "and I believe we can make a nigty good showing against the best of the better-known eleven of other sections of the country."
The old bleachers will positively be razed, and the site of the new athletic grade graded off by Christmas before the cold weather frezes the grass in the field. A baseball diamond, and track, including the big 220-yard straightway all of which is included in the plan for the new structure, will be laid out in spring just before the outdoor trade spring just before the outdoor trade season formally is opened.
The baseball bleachers will be temporary, movable seats, made from the salvage of the torn-down, condemned bleachers now tottering above McCook Field, and will be wheeled into place for the spring sports. The present tennis courts will be closed on April 15, after the gully between the present courts and the athletic窿 will be filled in and graded to a level.

K. U. MEN AND GREEKS WERE IN COURT TODAY
Police Judge Acted As Figh Referee in Quick-Lunch Finsco
Pollice Judge C. C. Stewart served as a substitute for the League of Nations today, as well as acting as a post-fight boxing referee, when Johnny Hill and Henry Widman, University students, and Tom and Nick Ficho who were involved in a feared before the court, charged with disturbing the peace.
After numerous witnesses had tungled themselves up in endeavoring to speak speedily and clearly, Judge Stewart fitted Nick Fichio $25 and Tom Fichio $11; Johnson Hill $11; and Wilmor was declared not guilty.
The disturbance occurred shortly before Thanksgiving when Wildemer, the University's entry to the welterweight boxing Hall of Fame, and Hill sometimes serves as his sparring partner, entered the Victory Cafe and ordered meals. Witnesses today told us that he had some kind of a disturbance over an order, and Hill knocked the wunter down. From there on the affair was only hastily described by the witness. Wildemer exhibited a torn shirt in proof of his statement that he had been "grabbed by the cash register" as he was about to leave the restaurant. Ficho further testified that he was not hit during the encounter when he, Ficho tried to protect his restaurant.
According to the testimony, Hill offered to pay for the damage done, when he first knocked the waistband of his proprietor insisted on excessive price.
At any rate, it is generally admitted in Lawrence that restaurant proprietors and others should pick carefully when they intend to come to blows with Hill men—and not choose the professional fighters.

Skipton to Play for State Clubs
Prof. C. S. Skilton will play one of his organ selections at the State Federation of Music Clubs today. The federation is being held at Pittsburgh and only Kansas musicians will participate. Professor Skilton will return Friday.
R. H. Hare, c23, spent the Thanksgiving vacation at the home of his sister in Clinton, Mo.
The excessive wearing of "fashion-plate" clothes, and the custom of wearing white shoes, shirtwaists, and other "dress" apparel by both men and women students on Mount Oread was the subject of an attack by a prominent educator who recently visited the K. U. campus. He would have publicized his name with the interview granted the Daily Kansan.
Citing the case of the "offeet"
East, the educator explained that in
the older institutions, the students,
while not adopting uniforms or losing
individuality of attire, wore
"rough" clothes, that is, flannel
shirts for men, middyes blouses
and low-heed shoes for women,
or princeps or procise in dress was
promptly squished in general ridicule.
In elaborating the customs of the Eastern colleges and Universities, the visitor also told of the custom among the men and women students of "going Dutch" on all expenses while together. Both the men and women are in favor of this, he explained, for it allowed them a greater freedom of action and put the sexes more nearly on an equal basis.
"The falseness of following motion picture standards" in the conduct of University students was also dwell on by the observer, who stated that while the student life in the older Universities did not have the same frivolous and exhuberant content of the "movies," a sensible, well-balanced existence made up the life of every student.
Art Walker, c'23, and Mohon Weede, c'22, wil drive to Topeka to spend Friday and Saturday.
Geologic Resources Of State Describer
Kansas has immeasurable wealth in agriculture. But also she is noteworthy for her oil and gas resources. Allen and Neosha counties, situated in the southeastern part of Kansas, are very fertile in farm land, are important industrial centers, but also they rich in oil and gas. Gas was discovered at Iola in 1883, and oil was first found near Charleen in 1890.
The chief producing fields in Allen and Neocha counties are in the vicinity of Iola, Humboldt, Chanute, and Erie. Most of the natural gas production has been in the Iola and Chanute fields, while the greatest oil production is in the Neocha county, Humboldt, Moran, and Erie. The wells are rather small producers, yielding a relatively heavy oil of about 25 degrees Baumgrain temperature. Average initial daily production is about 25 barrels, though some wells have 250 barrels or more. After a few months the production settles to five to twenty barrels per day. The average depth of the water column is nearly 10 feet, respectively. Because of convenient access to this and adjoining areas, a number of refineries have been built in Allen and Neocha counties.
The roots of this region belong to the middle portion of the Pennsylvania system, and consist of alternating beds of limestone and shale, and locally of some sandstone. The rock strata dips to the west and northwest at the rate of about twelve to fifteen feet to the mite. This is important in drilling tests to secure the most favorable location. The presence, extent, and lithologic nature of porous beds becomes a reservoir for oil, are also of great interest to the prospector of the good producing oil, and gas sands are found in the Cherokee shale, and are lenticular in shape.
Just One Year Ago K. U.Men Dug Coal

ROTARY GIVES DINNER FOR FOOTBALL TEAM
The first special carrying University men to the mining district left Lawrence a year ago Sunday, and a second trainload followed two days later.

After a brief wait at the Auto School in Pittsburg, the amateur miners were transported to the strip mines by motor or by freight trains. Accompanying them were units of the 4th Reg. K. N. G. The task confronting the miners was formidable. The temperature was around zero, the ground was covered with snow, the strip pins had been neglected by the striking miners and were full of ice and debris, pipes were frozen and bursted, and machinery was damaged. The miners volunteered to hold oil of the mines and begin to turn out coal under such conditions dismased the strikers. In two weeks the back-bone of the strike was broken. The K. U. men drew their miner's pay and came back to

DRAMATIC CLUB PLAY
PLANNED FOR JAN. 10
"Mrs. Gorringe's Necklace," Four Act Comedy, is First Production
ANOTHER PLAY LATER
"Importance of Being Earnest Will be Put On in February
The K. U. Dramatic Club will stage its first big play of the school year at the Boverstock Theatre January 10 when, under the personal direction of Prof. Arthur MacMurray, "Mrs. Gorring's Necklace," characterized as "four acts of rich and humorous comedy," will be presented. The author of the play, Hubert Henry Davis, is not known for greatest plays, but well known in this country to those familiar with unusual comedy sketches.
The possibilities within the play arc of the ordinary and different from the general run of the English comedies. It is more than a farce comedy as the situations are difficult, and are said to need almost the action and art of the professional to "put them across." Together with the possibility of action there are numerous clever and humorous incidents in the plot.
The show is a comedy from start to finish an something out of the ordinary in as much as it is beyond the capabilities of the amateur actor or actress of the usual college dramatists. In no number, have almost all applauding productions need no introductions to students on the hill.
"It is a clever idea. It is a clever show," said Spencer A. G., garden, business manager of the Dramatic Club production, this morning.
The play will be staged in Lawrence for one night only. Other engagements out of town have made it impossible to produce it two nigh in succession.
"The cast will show their play to a new surrounding kansas town the week following the Lawrence date, and we will see what the desire to see the show watch the Kannan for the titter announcement. The house will be packed to capacity and those acquiring tickets first will have a chance to an officer of the Dramatic club to do."
It was announced that the club will present "The Importance of Being Earnest" in February. "A book by Emily Dickinson it will be equal to any other we have put on in the past," said one member of the club today. The exact date has not been announced, but particular rumors suggest the funerals of the Kauanai at a later date.
