Lindley and Lawrence Editors on Program, Cubs Present
Two hundred and fifty journalists met last night in a general fraternizing foul, when the Associated Journalists of the University played host at their annual banquet to delegates of the Kansas High School Editors Association in the Ashland House. Among the distinguished guests and speakers present were, Gov. Henry J. Allen, loyal alumnus, editor and publisher of the Wichita Beacon; Harry Haskell, associate editor of the Kansas City Star; Homer D. Linder and publisher of the Lawrence Gazette; and Chancellor E. H. Lindley.
Walter Heren, J21, acting as toastmaster, directed Chancellor Lindley to the audience. Chancellor Lindley emphasized the importance attached to getting the best educational training in journalism before going into newswriting for a livelihood and profession. He also emphasized the outstanding features and paramount importance the newspaper played in the lives of twentieth century thinking "Every girl or boy in Kansas has an advantage of the facilities the University of Kansas has to offer," Chancellor Lindley said in welcoming the delegates to K. U.
Mr. Heren then introduced Mr. Homer Talbot, local newspaper man, who welcomed the delegates to the city of Lawrence. He stressed the fact that the Stadium-Union Drive would go over big, and that the Lawrence University would force as the students and alumni Comparison was made concerning tuition and costs of going to an eastern university with that of Kansas, and it was urged that such costs be kept down in order that the poorer students could attend school the same as the richer students within reach of all, and it is simply holding open the door of opportunity." Mr. Talbot said in closing.
Harry Haskell of the Kansas City Star told how political news was gathered and cited several instances where he criticized politicians before they really happened. Political scandals and news interpretation of political controversies, including the recent Republican convention at Chicago, are a substance of Mr. Haskell's speech.
Coinindent with Governor Allen's response to Professor Flint's introduction, a second head was seen to bob frantically above the level of the audience. It was Sandy Wainter, cheerleader, who had jumped to a tail tip. "Yea, Gov," the little Scotsman shouted. The audience knew its cue. Came a thundering burst of enthusiasm as the journalists joined in fifteen rails for the state's executive appreciation for the yell and said that it would be memorized to be handed down to future generations.
The substance of the Governor's speech follows: "Through the efforts of the efficient journalism schools throughout the entire country, the governor has greatly recognized business profession. No man, if I had my way, would work in a newspaper office without a college education, not saying that without it a man cannot be a success in the profession but study in the school of experience."
"Character must be a consistent factor in news writing, although the political policies may change many times in the course of a year. A progressive and successful newspaper must be honest, fearless, and do the things that need be done for the general information and good of its many readers. To succeed, must hold a character and maintain it."
Special emphasis was also placed on the various styles of writing. He brought out the fact that style was not fine writing—that it is, flowery and meticulous but not too much—but that the best style was to use simple, clear and unbiased sentences
without sarcasm or prejudice.
"The cub or the reporter must bring in facts, religiously, if confidence would be established with the many readers. News should be an honest marketed in an honest fashion," said Governor Allen in closing his speech.
The faece, put on by various cubs in the department, was a part of the entertainment of the evening. Members of the Kansas board were imitators of the anti-nationalism embryos, by presenting a comical act before the speeches starter.

WOULD CROOK PRIZE
Change Rules for Organization Prizes in Drive
A dianese plan to win one of the 'organisation' praxis in the Loyalty Drive contest was nipped this morning. The organization would be awarded temporarily for a period of four years, and then permanently to the organization which showed the largest number of podges at the end of the period.
John Tracey, of the committee in charge of the drive among athletes said that the plan was to have the minor members of the organization, on whom a note would not be legal, sign up for especially large amounts, or provide ability to pay. This it is said, would enable the organization to take the organization prize, without really pledging the large amount.

While at dinner, one of the girl thought she heard a noise upstairs but because there were guests present said nothing of it. The robbery was discovered immediately after dinner.

JAYHAWKS WILL FACE VETERAN TIGER TEAM
Experienced Players To Repres ent Columbia School in Turkey Day Battle
LEWIS IS MISSOURI HOPE
Lineup Practically Same
Defeated Kansas Last
Year on McCook
To say that Kansas was going up against an inexperienced team next week in Columbia would be the height of confidence. The team that will go into the battle royale is nearly the same bunch that came to McCook field last year. And last year was by no means the first year at carrying the pikein for most of the season.
"Chuck" Charles Lewis, the star and hope of Missouri, was mainly responsible for the beating Kansas took last year. This same "Chuck" Lewis is no new man in the game. He was born at Central High School in City, Missouri, in 1912. He went to Occidental College, California and played a sensational game at one during the seasons of 1913-4. Taking a change in pastures, he went to Cornell University, where he played or coached Cornell Preemmanial team of 1915, the team that won national renown.
Mr. Lewis starred on this team Surely Lewis must have played a year at Missouri before last season, so that he could be eligible for Missouri Valley competition. This would bring him through the season of 1916. He was in the service and there were other players from Missouri last year he played his first variety year with the Tiger team. His kicking was in a big way responsible for Missouri's victories last season, and has been figuring in a good many this year. His drop kick won in the Drke game, this year, and also the Aggie game. But he is not only a kicker good ability. Eough for Louis.
Next we come to "Blonde" Fullbright, who is also somewhat of a veteran on the gridiron. He played with Wentworth Military Academy two years under Coach Sermon. Going into his third season, he stayed the full year, left and went to the University of Arkansas where he starred under the coaching of "Red" Payne, who is now coaching Ames Agree. Last year, Fulbright was not eligible for the Varsity, but was taken on all the trips with that squad so that he might have a chance to watch other quarterbacks at work during the current plays. Some coach must have considered him a valuable man.
Other backfield men who Kansas fans might remember are William and Knight, half backs; Lineholm, 192 pound fullback, and Packwood and Hume, quarters. The Tiger backfield averaged 180 pounds, or just about fifteen pounds more than the Kansas backfield.
The Missouri line will be practically intact from last year's squad. Ends are Ruth and Goepel; tacks Travis and Hardin; guardes, Andrews and Vilks, with Bunker in the middle. The average of the line is 105 pounds, or twenty pounds heavier than Kanaas.
Coaches are of the opinion that the only way by which Kansas can beat Missouri, is strategy, and more of last Saturday's superman fight.
With all the formidable array of material that Coach Johnny Miller of the Tiger camp can mobilize Coaches Allen and Laslett are not only able to play their game, which they seem to think is physically in good condition. And they are also of the opinion that the Missoula team will not contain as many cripples next Thursday as they have had so far this year. "Missouri has a lot of room to grow," he says as last, but it looks as though they have not realized their full power yet this season, they don't seem to have hit their stride yet, but when they do, some team is going to suffer, and they have but one more gurge in which to catch that loss." and Coach Johnny this morning.
