CHICAGO U. SEEKS THE KANSAS IDEA
Windy City Institution Likes Plan of "Mothers' and Fathers' Week
INVITATIONS ARE OUT
K. U. IN ITS WORKING CLOTHES
A member of the faculty committee in charge of the week at K. U. said this is his responsibility. Mothers' and Fathers' Week here is to show parents of students the University "with its working clothes on."
Parents Asked to Come and See Mount Oreadites in Their Working Clothes
An inquiry concerning the plans of the University of Kansas for Mothers' and Fathers' Week, which will begin next Monday, was received today by a committee in charge of plans for the week, from Jeneth B. Regent, secretary of the Woman's Ministry, and Council of the University of Chicago.
INVITATIONS ARE OUT
There has been much 'harmful criticism of the University,' continued this professor, "and we want to show the parents the falsity of this criticism. If there is any needed criticism, we want the parents to make it. We want to show them the school as it is, so they can seek what it is accomplishment, as it needs. No plans for a celebration have been made, but we want the parents of University students to be the guests of the University as she is for one week, and not of the University with her party clothes on."
Invitations for the week have been prepared, and may be obtained by students either at the office of the registrar, or at the office of the department of journalism. These invitations read:
K. U. IN ITS WORKING CLOTHES
The Council is planning a Mothers' and Fathers' Day for the University of Chicago some time next spring, according to the letter from the secretary-general of the Kansas plans. The day at the University of Chicago, however, will differ from the week at K. U. in that he will be interviewed with a celebration on the campus.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 4, 1916.
"The University of Kansas invites you to attend the University Mothers' and Fathers' Week, December 11 to 16, to see the regular work of the institution so that mothers and fathers of students or of prospective students may become acquainted with the University, its life, its democracy and its service to the state and to the young men and young women of the state."
The invitation is signed by Willard M. Glasco and Dorothy W. Cole, student members of the committee in charge, while at the bottom, under a parenthetical request to "See K. U. with its working clothes on," is space for the student to give a little personal touch to his invitation.
SOUR OWL DISINFECTED
The "dinfected" "Sour Owl" made its appearance at the Kansas-Missouri football game Thanksgiving Day, and was heartily received by the crowd. Attractively printed, and in high demand, it soon became "new Owl" is a decided improvement over the old scandal-monging newspaper of past years.
Former Scandal Sheet Appears in Magazine Form
The major portion of the magazine contains straight humorous matter and cartoons, all of them the work of Frank Oz. The editorial section includes matter on the mill tax, the "naughty rally," and the Owl's "new feathers." Appended at the last of the magazine is a newspaper supplement called "The Pepper Pot." In the personal stories which formerly were the only feature of the "Owl."
"I am very much pleased with the new 'Owl'. Chancellor Frank Strong said this morning. "There is a field here for a genuinely humorous publication of that nature, and I am glad to see that such a magazine is to be published hereafter. The initial number pressages success."
IMPROVED DIRECTORIES ARE
GIVEN TO STUDIES THIS YEAR
After weeks of waiting, the student directories have arrived and are being given out at the registrar's office. The directories are a decided improvement in several ways over those of last year. They are smaller in size and can be slipped into a coat pocket very easily. The material is easy to handle and can be fore. Besides the book of students, the little book contains a directory of sororities and fraternities and house chanerons.
No charge is being made for the directories, but students are asked to contribute a small sum to the Student Loan Fund.
SEEKS UNIVERSITY MAN FOR RELIGIOUS WORK
Dr. Stanton Olinger, student pastor of the Presbyterian church has received a letter from W. H. Crothers, special Presbyterian representative for candidate enlistment and college visitation, asking for a live young man to become lay assistant in a church in New York state at a salary under $25,000; the latter also states that other requests similar to this one have been received.
Dr. Olinger thinks it a little unusual for such a request to come to a state university and considers it good evidence that the University should have a course in Bible study. The position offers a good opening for advancement and has a better salary to work with than most teaching positions.
CHORAL UNION PROGRAM VARIED
Mrs. Blanche Trelease Sings the Solo Parts of Annual Concert Tuesday Night
The last rehearsal for the Choral Union concert, which is to be given in Fraser Chapel tomorrow night, will be held in the chapel this evening at 7:30 o'clock. The rehearsal is being performed to perfect the smallest details of tomorrows concert. The hundred singers will be grouped in the position they are to occupy on the platform; the accompanist will have her piano in the desired position; and everything will be as nearly as possible as possible in the chapel. Choral Union makes its 1916 debut with its annual December concert.
As usual, much interest has been shown in the Union's concert, and a crowd which will fill the chapel is expected at Fraser Hall tomorrow night. Tickets, which have been placed on sale at Bell Brothers Music Center, are available from the Registrar's Office on the Hill, have been selling rapidly, and everything seems to presage an unusually successful concert.
PROGRAM WILL BE VARIED
One thing which promises to make the program unusually good is the wide variety of the numbers the chorus will sing. Every kind of music, according to Director Arthur Hill, comes with its own set of numbers; and there is every sort of melody from the ridiculous to the sublime. Irish folk songs follow the sternest and most pompous of Russian music; and in between there are many more. Nevin's own "Daybreak", which will be one of the featured numbers.
"No one need feel that the program is 'highbrow,'" said Mr. Nevin this morning. "The concert will be a real challenge for you," he wrote; and I feel safe in saying that no matter what one's tastes are in music, something on tomorrow night's program will appeal to them. The program will be varied, and universal in their appeal."
SOLOIST FROM CHICAGO
Mrs. Blanche Trealease, the Chicago contratto who will sing several solos at the concert, will arrive in Lawrence tomorrow morning. "Mrs. Trealease is a singer of great ability, and she has met with considerable success in Chicago," said Mr. Nevin this morning. "Her interpretations are given with excellent judgment and finish. She is a woman with keen emotional sensitivity and graceful use, characteristic with green puffs." Mrs. Trealease will come to Lawrence especially for the concert tomorrow night.
The "date rule" will be off for the concert.
PROFESSOR GOLDSMITH TO MINNEAPOLIS MEETING
Professor Goldsmith, head of the department of architecture, is in Minneapolis as a delegate to the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture and will also be a delegate for the American Institute of Architects Chapter at Kansas City. Both of these conventions are to be held at Minneapolis. The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture will convene December 5 and the American Institute of Architects December 6, 7, and 8.
Reports on the Committee of Chapters will be discussed by Professor Goldsmith at the latter convention. Some of the other reports that are to be made are on Town-Planning, Fire Protection, Competitions, Public Information, and Presentation of Natural Beavets and Historical Monuments in the United States. This report will include a report from the Old State House of Connecticut to the Cliff Zones of Arizona.
Miss Helen Dawson, c'16, who has been spending the past week at the Kappa house went to her home in Great Bend today.
Y. M. LEADERS TO MAKE REPORT
Harry L. Heinman and David R. Porter Here From Cleveland Convention
FULL SCHEDULE PLANNED
Plans for Conducting Religion Campaigns to be Discussed —Churches to Help
K. U. has been chosen as one of three universities in the United States in which to try out the plan formulated at the National Conference of church and Y. M. C. A. representatives in Cleveland. The conference on a plan of conference between church and Associations in cities in which both are found. Harry L. Heinzman and David R. Porter are coming to Lawrence Wednesday and Thursday to present the report. Joint meetings will be held in Lawrence between the churches and the heads of the Association for the purpose of discussing the Cleveland method.
While the men are here plans will be laid for an evangelistic campaign at the University similar to the Mott-Robins meetings of two years ago.
A full schedule has been planned for the two days that the men are
HARRY L. HEINZMAN
here. Interviews will be conducted with the different Y. M. C. A. committees on the work that is being accomplished in the department of work and there will be a speech meeting with the cabinet to check up on their responsibility for the religious life of the school. A meeting with the board of directors will also be held.
The personal interviews, which were of such importance in the Mott-Robins meetings, will be a special feature of the visit.
Happy Heinzman, who is a member of the International Committee of Student Work is well known and very popular at K. U. He was the leading figure of the recent Baker meetings.
An address to the men of the University is planned for Wednesday night from seven to eight at Myers College, where 40% of the regular Tuesday night meeting
David Porter is chairman of the International Executive Committee and has taken the place of John R. Berry, Y. E. M. C. A. work in this country.
That's what it's going to cost you to get into the Journalists party Saturday night in the gymnasium. And its going to be a party as origi-
linal as possible, as the Journalism Cabaret supper-dance staged early in the fall.
Six bits and some kind of a news paper.
Haley himself, a violin and a saxophone will be on hand to furnish the music for the occasion, and the piano will promptly at eight-thirty o'clock.
Takes Both for Admittance to Journalism Dance
ANY MONEY, OLD PAPERS?
Fair tonight and Tuesday, colder Tuesday.
The management of the party has not stated definitively what the idea is for bringing the newspaper, but the committee is firm in the express-statement decision that a newspaper is fully as essential as six-bits for admission.
Mr. and Mrs. John S. Dean, 1839 Western Avenue, Topeka announces the marriage of their daughter, Mary, to Mr. A. Nevin Alt. The ceremony took place at the home of the bride's parents on Thanksgiving Day. Mrs. Alt is a former K. U. student, and a graduate of Oberlin College. She was a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority.

The Weather
WELCOME SLOGAN WAS GOOD—BUT
Victory Was Also Provided For Entertainment of Missouri
ALTERNATE RIVAL COLORS
Traffic Policeman Made Attempts to Regulate Throngs In Down-town Streets
The "Welcome Missouri to all but Victory" slogan adopted by Kansas rooters overstepped its bounds and became "Welcome Missouri and take Victory too." After expending every effort for the entertainment of its worthy guests from the Tiger's air, the Jayhawk ungrudgingly gave up 13 of its most prized feathers as a parting gift.
The Tiger's gold and black and the Jayhawk's crimson and blue flaunted over the downtown streets, on automobiles, and on homes. The rooters are the ones who wear or personal adornment and wore the colors 'after his own heart.'
From eight o'clock Thursday morning until nine o'clock at night the eager wearers of the crimson and the blue and of the gold and black clothing except for the time in which the landmark —and lost Hotels, railway stations and trains were crowded as never before. Automobiles rushed over the streets with little regard for traffic regulations, to the consternation of the seven traffic policemen who were caught in the order in spite of the riotious spirit of the day and to guide motor cars through the congestion.
The aid-de-camp of all weighed contests, Enthusiastia, was present at McCook field but, in keeping with the tradition and lacking in spontaneity. No brilliant plays or meteoric runs roused the roots to outbursts of wild cheering but every eye followed the methodical progression of the game, every team that has its own team, and every lusty lung responded to the calls for aplause.
The trees and the hills around the stadium accommodated the overflow of water.
he weather man had the ingredi-
ents for a perfect day
mixed just right.
And Kansas lost.
MANY GRAFTS NAB PURSE
Holiday Gives Chance to Swell
Pocketbooks
"Graphs," said a university student the day of the K. U.-Missouri game, "may work all right when they are used in mathematics, but grafts sure go hard on my pocketbook." He complained that he had paid twenty cents for a breakfast of hot cakes when always before he had eaten the same quantity and quality for the small sum of a dime.
But not on hot cakes alone was the price advanced on Thanksgiving Day. Taking advantage of the large holiday crowd, the restaurants raised prices on regular meals from twenty-five cents to more than boys moved through the crowd, which thronged. Massachusetts street, before the game, selling arm bands and pennants for twenty-five cents while the stores which had them in stock sold them of fifteen cents. Large white and yellow mums burgled at the store, selling five and thirty-five cents sold on the street for fifty and seventy-five cents.
Those who played pool or billiards at the pool hall, because it was a festival day, paid double price for the use of a cue. Even at the game room, there were little grafts. Small pasteboard metaphors, which could be swallowed by the user if care was not taken, sold for the insignificant sum of ten cents yet the ten store houses had them their toy department for five cents.
Then there were the peanut venders who to be sure sold peanuts at the usual price of five cents a sack. However, on such an important occasion they deemed it best, fearing that they would not be enough peanuts to go around, to sell the sack and throw a few peanuts in for good measure.
Programs usually give away before the game brought fifteen cents to the cars of male owners who park their cars near the entrance and are forced to pay for the privilege.
"Pass the good coaching along." will be the slogan of some ten or twelve football men this week. They will be coaching the class teams, three or four to the team. Many of them deal with the most deal of pleasure to the time when they will be able to make the other fellow do the work.

thirty-third game," said Mr. Helmers. "They were mingling with the crowd in front of the Eldridge. "I started when I was pretty young and have kept it up. The first game I saw was in 1894. Kansas won that year and has been keeping it up quite regularly, having thirteen games, lost five, and tied four.
"The trip to Columbia is worse than an ocean voyage," said Mr. Helmers, "But I have gone to all the games except the first ones."
KANSAS QUARTET MAY MAKE M. V.
Lindsey, Shinn, Nielsen, and Vernson Stand Good Chance of Placing
Lindsey, Shinn, Nielsen and Vernon are the four men that Kansas is hoping to see make the All Valley Football team. These men it is generalized as being the only ones familiar with the shape of making the nick of the valley team.
Lindsey has great competition in Dobson of Nebraska for the backfield. However it is believed that Lindsey will captain, and perhaps win the captainship.
SHINN AGAINST VALLEY'S BEST
SHINN AGAINST VALLEY'S BEST
Shinn, K. U's pick for All Valley
end will run up against some of the
best ends the valley has ever produced,
Jones, of Ames, and also Ridgid.
He is the only winner for the right wing position.
Shinn, however, is playing great ball,
and certainly deserves the place.
Nielsen's strongest opponent for the position at full back is Eddie Wells of the Kansas Aggies. Both are excellent players, speedy, and use head work when in the game. Nielsen was a bit slow rounding into form but is now in prime condition and well worth naming.
VERNSON STANDS GOOD CHANCE
Vernson does not have as keen competition as the other three K. U. men. He is not in a position to do a lot of star playing but for a good steady, reliable guard, Vernson is a player that can be depended on.
The late start that the K. U. team had in the fall has cut down the personal percentage of the players. If they finished first, we were they finished the season doubtless a great many more men would make the All Valley mythical eleven.
HARDEST JOB EVER
This year the job of picking the all star team will be difficult. Never before in the history of the valley have so many teams been running neck and neck for the championship. It will be hard to pick a star team from the Kansas, Nebraska, Ames, and Aggie aggregations.
CAFE'S WORKED OVERTIME
Every Eating Place Crowded All Day Thanksgiving
Almost every eating place in the city made special provision for extra help and facilities for serving the hungry crowd, and did a rushing business from the time the first Missouri special arrived in the morning until the departure of the last train at night.
That the thousands of visitors here for the game Thanksgiving day did not leave town hungry was due to the foresight and careful preparation by the numerous hotels, restaurants, and boarding club keepers.
The fact that Ecke's furnishing store had rented out almost every available dish and bed to the different fraternities and sororites gives the institution made by these organizations to entertain their share of the guests.
The peanut and popcorn venders were kept busy tossing up sacks of the confection and catching the nickels at the game.
All candidates for class football report at Hamilton Field as early as possible each day. Preliminary games between the freshmen and sophomores, juniors and seniors will be held Monday, December 11. The final game will be played Thursday, December 14. The coaches for the teams are as follows: Freshman, Reid, Shim, Miner, Frost, Nielsen, Woodward, Foster; Sophomores, Wilson, M. Rubble, Mull, Fast, Fiske; Juniors, Lindsey, Heath, Burton, Vernson, Smith, Seniors, Martin, Kabler, Woody, Todd, Pringle, Cowgill (Signed) Coach Olcott.
MISSOURI'S YEAR FOR CELEBRATION
Tigers Outcharged Kansas In Turkey Day Classics and Emerged Victorious
FUMBLED PUNTS COSTLY
Foster's Second Bungle Gave Missouri Her Chance to Score
to Score
On a fast field and 'neath a clear sky, the Kansas Jahayk met the Missouri Tiger Thanksgiving Day, and went down in defeat before him. The Jungle Beast was too much for the Kansas bird.
A fast charging line which carried the heavier Kansans off their feet, and a speedy quartet of backs who sifted through the line for consistent gains spelled Victory for Missouri. Started with the Kansans, the souriers outplayed Kansas from the start, aided by fortunate and costly Jayhawker fumbles.
COULDN'T HANDLE PUNTS "Handling of punts was the thing on which the game hinged," says Coach Herman Olcott. "Lindsey puntunately, well, but the Tigers rebounded with great ability. In the latter part of the game, Missouri outgenerated and outcharged the Kansans. Our boys were simply unable to stop the advances of their speedy backfield."
Fumbles by both teams were costly; but Missouri was lucky enough to recover when her men spilled the pigskin. A fumble by Foster early in the first quarter gave the Tigers the ball and an opportunity to score; and from that time on Kansas was forced to play a defensive game.
LAST CHANCE TO SCORE
Once, in the third quarter, it seemed that the Jayhawkers would make a touchdown; and every spectator held his breath in suspense. Hamilton kicked off to Nielsen<sup>1</sup>, who returned twenty. After three plunges which hit the fence, Jayhawker Lindsey kicked the ball forty yards, and Stankowski, of Missouri, caught it on his own twenty-five yard line. He fumbled it, however, and three Kansas players, who had outraced the ball down the field, dived for it. And they were able to score, the Missouri goal, those three Jayhawkers failed to secure the pigkin—and Captain Lansing, of Missouri, fell on it and recovered. After that it was all over for Kansas, and from the time of the punt at the final whistle of the game, the Kansas goal for a second touchdown, the game was all Missouri's.
First period - Missouri won the toss and chose to defend the west goal, with a strong southwest wind in their favor. Lindsay's kick of the ball was blocked by Preston. McMillan lost five yards. Wilder's fumble was recovered by Stankowski. Wilder kicked to the 50-yard line. Woodward made four yard lines on a line plunge off tackle. Foster on another off tackle play gained two yards. A double pass to Shinn failed. The ball crossed the midfield. Ball. Missoula's ball in the middle of the field. Pittam made two yards. Kansas penalized five yards. Stankowski added three yards and Rider added two more on an off tackle play. A pass, Pittam to Stankowski, failed. The ball crossed the woodward ward who fumbled the ball. Missouri recovered the ball on Kansas' 35-yard line.
Rider made five yards and the Kansas line held on the next play. McMillan went through center for five yards. The ball was on Kansas' 5-yard line. A line plunge made one yard. Collins went in for Pittam. Stankowski made one yard on a line plunge. The Kansas line held. On the third down, Kansas attempted place kicking from the 15-yard line which went wild, the ball going over the Kansas line for a touchback. Lindsey played safe and puned fifty-tee. Stankowski, who returned it five yards, lost two yards on an end run but Rider gained three yards on a plunge. Wilder punted forty yards to Lindsey, who returned the ball sixty yards to Stankowski, who fumbled the kick but recovered with a 5-yard loss.
Stankowski was forced to take time out because of the tackling of the Kansas ends. A line plunge gained a yard and Wilder gained five yards. Wilder's kick was blocked by Burton, but Wilder recovered the ball on Mismaster's 2-yard line. Wilder punted to Lindsey for a curve, 40-yard line. Plunges put the ball in 20-yard line. Lindsey gained four yards, but Kansas was penalized fifteen yards for holding, placing the ball in the middle of the field.
After a series of plunges Wood-ward attempted a place kick from the 46-yard line but it fell short by inches. The period ended with the ball on the Kansas 15-yard line.
Score: Kansas 0, Missouri 0.
