War Tax On Hop Will Be Used On War Funds
In response to the demand that experiences of the three big University parties be cut down in accordance with the rules, the Student Council has levied a war tax on the Sophomore Hop of 50 per cent of the net profit. A tax of 10 per cent on the gross receipts will be placed on the Profit Tax and the Law scrim for the same reason.
The money that is obtained by this tax is to be placed in the hands of the Registrar to be used on war funds such as the Student Friendship fund. The Student Council believes that the three big social events of the year should not be discarded because they are important dates of the University, and by the application of a war tax on the receipts of the three, they can be reduced to the same basis of profit as the University parties, and the money from the tax will be kept on the Hil to be used in a good cause.

Tigers Will Depend On Fighting Spirit To Win Turkey Day
Coach Shulte Says Kansas Has Best Eleven In Years
Tigers Will Use New Plays
Missouri Has Several Players On Hospital List At Present
(By Wheeler Godfrey)
Present
Columbia, Mo., Nov. 26—In the face of the records of the two teams and an unusually large hospital list, Tiger followers are hoping for a Turkey Day victory largely on the strength of the indominable fighting spirit that inspires Shults's on the day of the annual Kansas combat.
To show that the Tiger memorize not under-rate the Jayhawker eleven times, he was surprised to see a game that he would not be surprised to see Kansas beat the Huskers, as it had the best team that had worn the Crimson and Blue in the last six years. He was a witness of the game at Lawrence and said Kansas had a fine, well-coached team, that its linesmen were big and that the ends got better.
SHULTE HOPES FOR VICYTORY
In spite of the gloomy outlook, Shulte has some hopes of punishing his man for insulting his relativeskiving Day. His main effort is to get his cripples back into the game by that time.
SHULTE HOPES FOR VICTORY
Viner and Pittam are the latest recruits to the hospital squad, both suffering from badly injured ankles. Hamilton has a stiff knee as a memento of the Ames game. Slusher a broken rib and Bass and Schroeder will probably be kept out of the classic struggle by injuries received in the 1960s. And Mike Tiger drop-kicker who has been out all season, is now in good shape and will probably appear in the line-up against Kansas.
HOLD SECRET PRACTICES
The Tigers have been going through secret practices for the last week and the old ghost ball has been brought out in order to perfect a new set of plays that the Jayhawk defense has been working on an airl defensive as it is rumored in Tigertown that Captain Nielsen has a flinging captain that would be the envy of any bombthrowing first-line Sammy, and that he will be the enemy in dragging all too accurate in dragging the oval from the sky.
It is expected here that kicking it may have a great part in the Thanksgiving conflict. Urie and McLane will face off in this department and are getting their kicks off fast and accurately. Missouri followers were not enthusiastic about the way Kansas made her score against Nebraska. There is just a small chance she does enough in the Thanksgiving game make a drop-kick valuable.
The Thanksgiving holiday period will begin Wednesday noon November 28, and will end, Saturday, December 1. Classes will meet as usual on Monday.
Women's Glee Club will meet at 7 o'clock Tuesday night in Fraser Chapel. Come promptly at the hour so as to get through in time for the recital at 8:15 o'clock. Bring $2.00 dues.

Soph Hop Successful Social Event, Verdict Of All Who Attended
Annual Class Party, On Economy Basis, Enjoyed By 200 Couples
Every Detail Pleased Crowd
Music, Decorations, Refreshments, Program and Fare Were All As Promised
The Soph Hop was in every way a success. Not one of the 200 couples that attended the big class party in The Music Class, disaffected. The music, decorations, refreshments, program and farce all came up to promote and social criticism admit that cutting the price of the class dance is the quality of the annual class舞.
The grand march started a little after the scheduled time, led by the Hop manager, Rip Brady, and Chancellor Frank Strong. Dancing followed until 11 o'clock when the refreshments were served.
The entire crowd was served at the same time on the main floor of the Gym while the Mielchlebach Hotel entertainers, headed by Carleton Coon, taught students various courses, a large dancing reservation, around which the tables were grouped allowed all to dance. The crowd was well handled and good service featured the plan of having all eat at the gates, allowing the man of the refreshments committee.
CHORUS A BIG HIT
The farce, held at midnight, was full of originality. The opening chorus of fifty girls, led by Orlo Homes made a decided hit and the individual acts that followed kept the good will of Drew Lynch and Barbra Streese. Thebling act was staged by the "Dread-naught Nuts," Bus Jensen, Kenneth Bell and Edwin Patton. A rube song by Helen Cook, illustrated by Harold Lytle was well received. Gene Dyer wrote much about comedians, reviewed laughable patter about local K. U. celebrities, the "Superb Jazz Disorders," made up of Holo Martens, Don Good, Louis Hull and H. Cromwell harmonized to the theme of the Symphonies Two orchestra, Marmell Hadden orville McCanales and Moll Sorgatz cave many encores.
The first chorus number was featured by a clever lighting scheme in which all of the chorus carried electric flashlights. The final chorus was used to finish the chorus was in the hands of Jessie Wystt and Skid Howden.
Dancing followed the farce and lasted until 2 o'clock.
GOOD DECORATING SCHEME
The decorations for the big party were especially well worked out. Swinging from an illuminated center, the blended colors of old rose and purple streamed away to the balcony. Royal Ryan headed the decorating crew. The brassiere, Messik and Butch Stodder were the others in charge of the decorations.
The programs were neat and appropriate. They were designed by Fuzzy Wilson, head of the program committee.
No report of the party has been given out by the Registrar, but Brady, manager of the party, says a complete report would be made public immediately.
Ear trumpets are recommended for these faculty men. They can't hear the whistle:

Sharp Taloned Jayhawk Leaves Tomorrow For Lair of Tiger
Crouching Animal Has Been Wounded Many Times In Battle This Season But Is Ready For Fighting Bird Of Mount Oread
Round Trip Fare On Special Costs $6.17 Says Hamilton
The sharp taloned Jayhawk will start its flight tomorrow morning to battle with the hungry and crouching Tiger in its lair at Columbia next Thursday. The Jayhawk will stop at Moberly, Mo., for a rest until Thursday morning when it will continue its flight to Tigerville.

And Still They Knit
Plain Tales From The Hill
Experts knit sweaters and helmets.
Beginners knit washrags. They explain that washrags are needed, be prepared to work with dirty hands. After they have made a few dozen washrags they decide that maybe the poor soldiers suffer more acutely from the cold, but it takes considerable time to convince them of the fact.
But some one had the cruelty to question the utility of beginners' washrags the other day, "Why," said she, purring away on her sweater, "That washrag you are making wouldn't even hold water. You've dropped so many stitches that the water would run right through it. In fact," she continued, "I doubt whether it would even hold the soap!"
Harley Holden is an ambitious Douglas Fairbanks, the second. Promptly at 12:20 o'clock he leaves for dinner via the four foot Kansan office window, boosted by a long leap from the 'floor five feet below. We wish to nominate him for motion picture fame.
A Great Little Place
The Jayhawk has emerged victorious for many fierce battles this season, and is anxious to get revenge for an unexpected disaster last year when he Tigers entered the arena on McCook Field and succeeded in tearing out a couple of fathers.
Lawrence has another claim to fame!
Lawrence dogs are healthier and better fed than any other dogs there are, according to Professor Sherwood. They do not live in the experiments of the department of bacteriology. The profs feed the dogs germs and do all sorts of things to 'em and they live through it all. Dogs in the east usually die after the same time. Lawrence dogs have more resistance. Long live Lawrence and its canines.
There is a man on this our Hill who answers to the name of Wilde. Today some ope introduced him to some one else.
"Any relation to Oscar Wilde?" asked the individual.
asked the individual,
said Mr. Wilde. "I'm his twin, sister."
"Who is Oscar Wilde anyway?" said the other. "Ita be a poet?"
K. U. co-ods are returning to prime-
bai but *That sounds startling,
but I all alis.*
"Oh, I don't know," replied Oscar's twin sister, "He's either a poet or a revolutionist."
In primeval times persons held conlave among the oak trees, and gossiped over the affairs of the neighborhood. Then they went out to their respective business offices. These were Druids.
Druids exist on the campus today. The co-eds meet at specified elm trees over by the gym in squads to quarrel with their squad leaders. Then they go out to invade corn fields and other private property.

Jayhawk Squad That Will Battle With Tigers This Year
TIGERS ARE CONFIDENT
The Tiger has been wounded in most of the battles of the season but has recuperated after a couple of weeks' rest. Doctor Shulte has also bandaged up the Tiger's wounds and the fierce animal is anxiously awaiting the annual fray. In fact "bear stories" are out to the effect that the animal is confident of a victory over the predator, but being the indomitable fighting spirit of the animal when it battles with the bird from the Sunflower state.
Many followers of the annual battle predict a hard struggle this year, despite injuries of both contestants. History shows that the final clash is more bitterly contested than any other play. The opponent tamed, the clash this year will be close and hard fought, despite the apparent advantage of the Jayhawk.
SPECIAL LEAVES WEDNESDAY
The Jayhawk rooters will leave at 10 o'clock Wednesday night to tie the proverbial knots. The special train will arrive in Columbia at 7 o'clock and travel home was made last Friday in stating the round trip fare as being $4.05. That is the round trip fare from Kansas City. The round trip fare on the special from Lawrence will be $6.17 according to Manager W. O. Hamilton.
The team will return on the special train which will leave Columbia at 10 o'clock Thursday and arrive in Lawrence at 7 o'clock Friday morning. The round trip fare on the special train is the same as the regular fare one way. The $6.17 also includes the war tax.
INJURIES ARE NOT BAD
Coach Bond has been whipping the Crimson and Blue machine into fighting trim and despite a few sprained knees, he still broke broken nose along with other minor bruises, all except one or two of the regular players will get into the final game. It is possible that all of them were injured by the game after a four dawns rest.
Mandeville, right half, who has both ankles sprained, and Jones, left guard, who has his left ankle sprain, was wounded during the game. Jones has been resting since last Wednesday, however, so that his ankle should be much improved by Thursday. Mandeville went to the army-navy game in Kansas City last season when he had an ankle squad and was able to wink although he limped slightly.
ONE MORE PRACTICE
The squad will hold but one more practice tonight before leaving on the trip. One of the most pleasing things about the scrimmages the last week was their large number of the second string men who have not been given a chance to show what they could do against other teams because of the few regular players who have been out in the regular games this season.
Coach Bond said it was possible he would use an entire new backfield of the substitutes during periods of the game at Columbia. A few of the most stellar substitute backfield men are Marquis, Casey, Bunn, and Simon. Idol is also a strong contentant for one of the half positions.
SUBSTITUTES PLAY WELL
Many new line men are also showing up exceptionally well. Among the new players who have been standing out in the scrimmages the last week are Stephens, Wilson, Davison, Harms, and a few more. In fact most of the substitutes have been playing better the last week. This is partly due to the hard scrimmages Coach Riley has beating the things The mentor has used the regulars but very little since the Cornhusher game except in a couple of scrimmages during the latter part of last week.
All of the players on the squad have that indomitable fighting spirit which characterized Crimson and Blue teams of old. With the men on the squad determined to win, Jayhawker rooters are worrying but slightly about the outcome of the battle on Rollin's field next Thursday.
