Huskers Win Valley Title By Defeating Jayhawkers 13 to 3
Kansas Outplays Northerners In Every Period Except Third Quarter
Lonborg Makes Place Kick
Jayhawkers Became Over-Confident After Taking 3-point Lead
The powerful Cornhusker machine invaded the Jayhawk camp Saturday and went away with the 1917 Missouri Valley Conference championship after annexing a 18 to 3 victory, but failed to convince the Cormhuskers have a better team than the Crismon and Blue eleven.
Coach Beau Olcott and Coach Germany Schultz of the Kansas Aggies along with supporters of the Crimson and Blue supporters believe the Jayhawker eleven took the 3-point lead too soon. During every period of the battle, with the exception of the third quarter, Kansas outplayed her ancient rival from the north in every department of the game.
This is taken as conclusive proof that Coach Bond's proteges became just a little over confident of their ability and slowed up just enough at the beginning of the third quarter to permit the Cornhuskers to push for a play they had been then tightened up again and held the Cornhuskers to an even battle.
BALL IN HUSKER TERRITORY
From the opening whistle the ball was rushed into Husker territory and kept there most of the time with the exception of the fateful third quarter, when the Jayhawker eleven seemingly stacked up in the back pit positioned the charging Corn-husker down to put over two touchdowns.
NEBRASKA SCORES
Driving a human wedge into the Cornhusker line the Kansas backfield plumgers advanced the ball into the heart of the enemy. He had to counter with seven yards to go on the fourth down, Lonborg, star right end, dropped for a goal from placement on the Cornhusker 25-yard line. Then the grounding Lonborg kicked a perfect goal, making the first score of the game.
HUSKERS SCORE AGAIN
All hopes were dulled, however when the rejuvenated Northerners began an irresistible drive at the opening of play again. Kansas put up a stubborn defense, but after an exchange of punts Dobson flipped a pass to Cook, star Nebraska quarter, which netted twenty yards. placed the ball on the Kane's 30-yard line. Cook then softened for a sensational 30-yard run through a broken field across the Jayhawker goal line. A successful punt-out was made and Captain Shaw kicked goal making the score 7 to 3 in favor of the Northerners.
Kansas continued on the offensive until the end of the half. During the fifteen minutes intermission between halves Jayhawker enthusiasm was running high and everyone believed done was to be upset and Kansas was to annex a valley championship over the invincible Cornhusher machine.
Kansas kicked off. The Huskers fired by the success in making their initial touchdown, marched down the field for three successive first downs to the Kansas 25-yard line. The Jayhawkers were then positioned to have the Cornhuskers possession of the ball on the 10-vard line and first downs.
Hupka annexed the second Cornhusker touchdown after plunging six yards through the Jayhawner line. Captain Shaw missed goal making the final score 13 to 3 in favor of Nebraska.
KANSAS OPENS UP
During the final quarter, Kansas opened up with an aerial attack but the defense was too well drilled and all but one pass for three yards was incomplete. The Cornhuskers completed but two passes one of which was instrumental in making one of the touchdowns.
One of the features of the game was the excellent defensive work of the star Kansas ends. The Cornhuskers started their end swings from the opening whistle but were thrown for large losses. Most of the Cornhusker gains were made through the line between tackle and end.
The punting of Foster was also a feature of the battle. The Kansas punts averaged a little over forty-five yards while the Cornhusker punts averaged only a little over thirty-two yards.

Government Sanctions Use of Army Uniform For New K. U.Regiment
Will Not Be Compulsory—Committee Seeks Recognition From War Dept.
The wearing of uniforms for military drill will not be made compulsory according to Prof. W. A. Whitaker who is a member of the committee appointed to decide in regard to uniforms. However, the authority and permission has been received from the government to use the regulation uniform.
At a meeting of the committee last Thursday it was decided that steps should be taken to secure recognition for the training from the War Department. The department requires that in order to secure recognition the commandant shall be a regular army officer, or shall satisfy the commander of his department of his fitness for the position of commandant.
No army officer could be secured as commandant but the committee contemplates no difficulty in securing recognition since Col. E. M. Briggs, who has charge of the drill has had experience in the national guards, and training camp under French officers. At the end of the camp he was recommended for the position of major in the regular army.
In case recognition for the training is accorded by the war department it is required that uniforms for drill would be required, as they have been required of other schools where the government gives credit for the drill.
There is a scheme on foot to commute uniforms. In case this works out it would be possible for a student to have the issue price of his uniform refunded to him when he was drafted into the national army. But the next draft will take nearly half of the men in the University, and believes that on that account uniforms will not be such a burden to the students.
W. O. Hamilton, head of the department of physical education and manager of athletics, has stated at the suggestion of Chancellor Strong, that it may be possible for the athletic department to advance money from the athletic fund to students who could not afford to purchase uniforms and pay the full price at the time of purchase.
In case this is done the students' note would be taken for the amount of the purchase price of the uniform, the payment allowed to pay the note in installments.
Sour Owl Copies Sell Like Hot Cakes—Some Bartered at Premium
The committee will meet again this afternoon to confer with merchants and firms who desire to submit bids for uniforms.
Humorous Magazine, In Football Togs, Makes Hit At Big Game
Copies of the Sour Owl, published Saturday, were in such demand at the Kansas-Nebraska game that the entire edition was sold, and copies went at a premium before the close of the game.
The last edition of the Sour Owl was attractive and entertaining. The cover design, drawn by Fred Leach, was produced in purple and gold. In it, a large owl perched on a large, sowling owl perched on a skull, and in the right hand corner is a reproduction of the owl pin. The edition contained the official program of the day, several cartoons on "How to Draw an Owl," and spike notes on K. U, notables.
The Sour Owl is published by the Owls, a junior class society. On the board of managers are Lawson May, Herman Hangen, Joe Pratt, Gene Dyer, Herbert Mee, and Lorel Peek. The second edition will be out in January.

Mass Meeting This Morning Ad dressed by Chancellor and Dr. Sundwall
Medical Students Meet With Authorities And Ask Drill Exemption
Frosh Medics State Case
Say New Schedule Cannot Be Made Without Harm—Their Side Misunderstood
A mass meeting of the Medics of the University was held this morning to discuss the arrangement of their training to enable them to take military drill.
Chancellor Frank Strong talked to the students about the position in which they are placed. Dr. John Sundwall, representing the faculty of the School of Medicine, also expressed his views. According to Doctor Sundwall, the matter of arrangement of schedule will be remedied at once and the Medics will be able to take the drill as the rest of the students.
In his talk to the medical students, Shancellor Strong emphasized the importance of the School of Medicine and the profession in general, both in ordinary times and in war. He said: "The School of Medicine here has seated us with the same dignity as a doctor occupies a different position than almost any other man, but still they must take their responsibilities along with their opportunities. All of us are called upon to do things that we don't want to do. Opportunities can bring whatever goodness upon to do for the good of the community."
Dr. John Sundwall said the *col* of Medicine was being severely criticized for its attitude, but he extended his support and offered satisfaction in the near future.
J. M. Mott, representing the freshmen Medics gave out the following statement: "The attitude of the Medical students has been misunderstood. They are not laying down on the job now at a time when co-operation and a spirit of "pull-together" is needed. But the work of the medical student is that of preparing himself in the quickest way for his part in the war. It was so much military training that they need but more of the technical work. The work from 8 o'clock until cannot be shortened. The class periods might be shortened but it would mean slighted work or added failures."
A petition for exemption was formally submitted this morning asking for the exemption of the medical students from drill, this semester. Conditions will allow themselves next semester as the work will be lighter.
Those students who were invited to attend the luncheon today, and were unable to attend, are requested to meet tomorrow morning in Room 110. Fraser at 8 o'clock. All such will be expected From classes during the time of the meeting.

Christine Miller To Sing Compositions By Kansan
A number not included on the regular program of Christine Miller, which she will sing tonight, is that of a Kansas composer, Thurlow Lieurance, a Chanute musician, who is now in the service of the States government doing musical research among the Indians of the country.
The song, "By the Waters of the Minnetonka," is an Indian lullaby that is fast gaining place as one of the folk songs of the American people.

If Daddy Haworth has his way his students will at least be human. In his Economic Geology class this morning after asking a question every head in the room immediately began to wag horizontally.
"No, no," argued Daddy Haworth in his characteristic way, "don't shake your heads like that. Cats and dogs try. Try moving the other way once."
It all happened at one of the sorority houses during dinner. There were two gentlemen present and they were seated at opposite ends of the table.
One of the sisters remarked, "Well, we have perfect balance between our gorilla
"Yes," modestly replied the second
woman. "It reminds me of Home Decoration.
With the passage of the new traffic rules for the Hill Dean Templin has another slogan to give to the students. "We'll put out the fellows with the cut outs."
Bud Campbell is a junior medica.
Bud Campbell has a case—with a girl.
Bud Campbell's girl has made him swear off and totally abstain from smoking, and Bud Campbell's friends are having great sport.
They smoke whenever he is around,
and they urge him to join them. When
he refuses they ask hi mhwy all this
temperance and virtue.
But Bud Campbell is ready for them, "Why have I stopped smoking?" says he. "Why, fellows, I am being patriotic. I am saving the money I might spend for cigarettes, and maybe I'll buy a Liberty Bond."
The housemother had gone to Topeka on a shopping trip, and the most dignified freshman was required to take her place at the head of the
"I don't know how to serve," she complained, looking helplessly at the platters of potatoes and croquettes before her.
"That's easy," said the sophomore with the man-sized appetite. "Just give everybody one potato and one apple, an ape, and give me three of each."
This happened at the game Saturday. The Nebraska legions had been voicing frantic yells, the majority of them animated with a boyant "Yea, boa!"
After some replication of the phrase, an old K. U. grad, vintage about '88, seemed to grow nervous. At each "Yea bo" he turned his head uneasily toward the rooters and then looked out over the field. After another loud yell he did the same thing. He turned to his partner, and catching him by the arm demanded, "Say, who is this Yay Beau, anyway?"
Also at the game. A husky Husker, temporarily not on the front, thought to warm up a bit, and in doing so managed to resemble, more ar less, a Sioux Indian preparing for the war path by practicing the Dance of the Indians, in imbibing freely of the spirit of the occasion was moved to action, so he lifted his ears and galloped a joyous circle the length of the field.
A
Must Show Spirit Of Self-Sacrificice, Message Of Harry White Today
Need For Funds In Work At War Front Is Increasing Constantly
Marks Campaign's Opening
University's Share In National "Drive" For One Million Dollars Is $11,000.00
"It's up to Kansas at home to show the same spirit of giving and self-sacrifice as Kansas is doing in the front line trenches 'or There' and 'in There'."
MORE HELP NEEDED
Such was the keynote of the impassioned plea made by Harry White, International Y. M. C. A. a worker before the promotion force of the Students' Friendship War Fund at a luncheon in Robinson Gymnasium noon; the luncheon was given by the part of the work that part of the work for the University of Kansas in the drive to raise $11,000.
"The campaign now isn't for the mere sum of one million dollars," said White. "Reports from E. C. Carter, former Harvard sprinter and Dri Davis, Syracuse arsenm, now in active Red Triangle work in the front line trenches, urge more help. Now the demand per capita of every University student is larger than the $5 set by the committee six week ago.
"The morale of the armies in Europe must be sustained if we are to have a righteous victory, and a right-fully only come through righteous armies."
The number of former K. U. men in active war work in Y. M. C. A. huts is alone indicative of the enthusiasm they have for their work, according to White. And he is asking the students and in showing these men at the front that the folks back home believe in them.
H. C. (Dad) Herman, former K. U. general Y. M. C. A. secretary and student of the University, is leading and directing 150 Indian university men from Indian colleges in the Far East in bringing cheer and comfort to hundreds of thousands of comrades in arms.
NEED MORE MEN
Con Hoffman, also a former secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., is also in the work. Hoehman has been much work since the opening of the war.
"Scores of Y. M. C. A. men from the United States are now already working among the men from this country," said White. "They are happy in their work because they are able to make other men happy." The same attitude toward Red Triangle huts have been provided for by the people of the United States.
"The appeal to universities to help in this work," continued White, "is recognized by university authorities as one of the most important works of the war."
"And how will the University of Kansas answer? Today's campaign will tell," is the challenge flung by White. "Kansas men are doing their most in the trenches. Kansas must unhold that spirit."
CHALLENGED STUDENTS
"The spirit of the University of Kansas is challenged to its utmost. At everyone of the eighteen Kansas colleges the quota has been overcrowded. At Manhattan Thursday one hundred and two thousand dollars in fifteen minutes."
TO SPEAK AT CONVOCATION
White goes tonight to the University of Illinois where a similar campaign will be pushed tomorrow. He has been at the University of Iowa, and Manhattan the last week. He is directly to New York from Illinois.
More than one hundred fifty students were at the luncheon this moon, to hear Mr. Mrs. open the big canteen, he will o'clock before the entire University.
Official Military Notices
Owing to the large number of requests for exemptions and the meager information filed with the caims, a number of the exemption is delayed.
Application forms are now being sent to each student claiming exemption. These should be properly filled on or before Friday, November 23.
