UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SOPHS WIN GAME AND CHAMPIONSHIP Juniors, Fighting Bitterly, Drop Final Game in Class Series Yesterday, 7 to 9 Playing fast and heady football, the sophomores won the interclass championship by defeating the juniors yesterday afternoon on McCook Field. 9 to 7. The sophomores clear a lead in the first half, but the juniors came back in the last half of the game and for a time played the sophomores off their feet. The heady playing of Marquis, the sophomore quarter, and the tandem play of the juniors in line were the features of the game. The first sophomore score came early in the second quarter as a result of a fifteen-yard return of a junior punt by Marquis after the sophomores had carried the ball to the junior four-yard line. Marquis kicked a field goal from the twenty-yard line. The sophomore touchdown came a few minutes later when Marquis scored on a broken field, carrying the ball to the junior seventeen-yard line. Three line bucks and then a wide end run of twelve yards by Casey carried the ball over. Casey failed to kick goal. The juniors came back strong in the last half and scored a touchdown in the third quarter, passing sixteen passes through the line from a tandem formation by Shelley, Hilton, and Frank, and an eighteen-yard pass, Frank to Fleeson, which took the ball to the four-yard line. Frank to the ball across and Cobb kicked goal. Cobb, Marquis, and Casey showed ability as kickers. The entire sophomore backfield played in a fine fashion. The brilliant thirty-yard run by Marquis was made possible by the good interference of Dunkley. The goalkeeper was excellent and Zierlegt was excellent, while Frank was the best ground gainer for the juniors. Hite, Wilbur, and G. Harte did well in the soph line. Expensive Grinder Installed A large universal grinder has been bought for the School of Engineering and is now being installed on the first floor of Fowler Shops. It is a large complex piece of machinery costing $1000. This machine, which takes the place of an old one of smaller design, is used in sharpening the tools which are used in iron tungsten knives. The quickly dull tools, it is expected that the grinder will pay for itself in a short time. The establishment of military training for Indiana University students has been found impracticable this semester and the probability is that it will not be established before next year. TO TALK ON ADVERTISING IN MERCHANTS' COURSE "Newspaper Advertising" "Advertising Schemes and Selling Plans", "Advertising Sales and Specials" and "Advertising Values" are the subjects announced for a series of lectures to be given by A. E. Edgar, author of the book to Advertise Rotary clubs during its shanty' Short Course in February. "Many persons beside the merchants, and especially the classes in journalism," said F. R. Hamilton, director of the EXTERNET and arranging the Short Course, "will be interested in these lectures." PLANS TO GET TAFT HERE FAIL Ex-President Will Pass Through Lawrence But Cannot Stop William H. Taft, president of the League to Enforce Peace and former president of the United States will not speak before the University body as was announced recently in a Kansas City paper. This statement was made by Chancellor Frank Strong this morning. Every possible effort was made to bring the ex-president here and arrangements could not be made. Mr. Taft will speak in St. Louis Thursday night, but on account of the small chance of his making a living during a rainfall in Kansas City the stop at Lawrence had to be given up. Even if the Taft party could have visited the University the stop would have been very short as the peace in Topeka began to be in Topeka again Friday noon. "Mr. Taft will be in this section of the country again this winter on the peace mission," said Chancellor Strong, "and it is probable that the ex-president will speak to the students at a later date." Revises Manuscript Prof. John Ise, of the department of economics, has completed the revision of his manuscript for a book on the "United States Forestry Policy". The manuscript is an expansion of his doctor's thesis at Harvard and will be published in place in the David Wells contet. Professor Ise may arrange to have the work published in the Harvard Economic Studies. George Holsinger, a former K. U. student, was elected vice-president of the State Horiznticultural Society at the Tampa last week that society in Topeka last week.
