KANSAS HAS 22 STARS
Tentative Lineup for Tiger Battle Will Be Announced Wednesday
The Jayhawker squad is ready for its classic of the football schedule. The squad is ready for the battle royal with its veteran gridiron enemy and is waiting for the whistle. Last night was the last scrimmage for the Olcott-Clark machine until it meets the Tiger on McCook Thursday. Darkness stopped the clash between regulars and freshmen; the containment of the last appearance of the yearlings for the season, and, as the contest ended, the Varsity cheered the scrapy Tyros and cheers were
The freshman team, said to be the best production for years, is in great measure responsible for the success of the Varsity squad this year. As the yearlings finished their last tussle with the regulars, hearty congratulation and thanks of the squad and coaches were extended.
22. USED IN FINAL SCRIMMAGE
The Jayhawkers will content them selves with light signal practice today and tomorrow and, without a single serious injury to the team, will enter the big battle in top tip shape Twenty-two men, two complete teams were used in the final scrimmage and smooth working of the squad was noted. Men with the best chances of starting the Missouri game were used last night. The list includes Heath, Wilson, Shinn, and Reid at ends; Frost, Burton, and Martin at ends; Ruble, and Wint Smith at snurgs; Miner and Hull at center; Foster and Todd at quarter; Lindsey, Woodward, Fast, and Pringle at halfbacks; Nielsen and Ruble at fullback.
Final announcement of the line-up to start the battle will not be made until the eve of the game, but probably there will be few changes in the squad that started the Nebraska contest.
TIGERS EXPECT LOOSE FOOTBALL
Rooters and scouts of the Kansas camp differ as to the probable style of play to be used against the Tigers, but the general concession is that the historic contest must be contested at that passing and kicking duels will be much in evidence.
That the Tigers are depending on the loose football comes with the news from the Missouri camp that Simpson, star athlete, has been out for the last five games in a big battle with the hope that the opportunity may present itself for a long run on a pass to a touchdown.
LAW SCRIM TO BE UNIQUE
Laws Planning Big Formal for Football Men
The Law Serim, which is to be given December 8, is going to be larger and better than in former years, according to the managers. The committees have been working on some very unique ideas which they are not willing to publish at the present time.
D. Ambert Haley will be on hand with his six-piece orchestra, the largest bunch of music makers ever gathered for a Law Scrim. A four-course luncheon will be served at quartette tables. Albert Murphy, who had charge of the decoration, joined the dramatics and programs. Jack Bond admits that they will be classier than ever before.
The Scrim is a law school affair but it is not limited to that school. A limited number of tickets will be sold to students in other departments. The tickets can be obtained from "Sweets" Jones, Joe Gattskill and Dave Brown.

100 EXTRA SEATS ON SALE TODAY
Manager Hamilton Announces Late Sale of Bleacher
Manager Hamilton's estimate, that 16,000 seats would be available, has been cut to less than 15,000 as the men in charge of erecting the seats at McCook have found it advisable to erect only ten instead of fourteen rows of seats at the east end of the field.
Seats
One hundred extra seats in the rooter's section will be put on sale today for those who were slow in getting their reservations, says Manager Hamilton. These seats are in the aisles of the rooter's section and only roots with students are allowed. Other sections of the field may not be exchanged for these.

Midnight Dash of Powerfully Lighted Car Shrouded In Mystery
FIRED SHOTS ON THE HILL
Burners of Midnight Oil Terror Stricken—Police Can Find No Clue
No Clue
Mystery is in the air. Excited bands of students and the Lawrence police authorities are searching today for a clue to solve a queer midnight occurrence on Mount Oread. Last night, shortly after twelve, a large automobile equipped with three powerful searchlights was seen speeding about the University campus. The University watchman and students agree that a careful search was being made of the campfire and car disabled off of the bill several shots were fired. All efforts on the part of the police to locate the mysterious party or the ear have failed.
J. M. Boyd, chief of police, said that the airfair was in no way instigated by the police department but that they would make every effort
MCMILLAN, Tiger Halfback
to locate the parties implicated.
All kinds of theories have been advanced as an explanation of the affair. Anything from a kidnapping party, to get away with the football team, to initiation ceremony have suggested that many students probing the many clues have advanced theories to the effect that it was merely a party of alumni who motored up from Kansas City and took the method of announcing their arrival. Others are taking the matter as a joke and say that it was a prank of some of the students.
The occurrence recalls a similar happening four years ago. About this time of the year, shortly before the Kansas-Missouri game a party in an automobile fired several shots in a midnight escapade on the campus, disappeared, and were never located.
In the meantime the Lawrence police authorities are doing their best to get at the facts in the case and determine its source of the midnight marauding.
Don't save up your cuts this year,
thinking to apply them on your
Thanksgiving vacation and spend a
day or two longer at home. The
powers that be have sent forth their
decease. Students may leave at noon,
Wednesday, November 29, and not one
minute sooner. Failure to report for
work the following Monday will result
in loss of credit.
At noon today, W. J. Francisco,
mayor of Lawrence, notified the

reoccupation of last night's occurrences
Christmas vacation begins officially on Saturday, December 16, and lasts until Monday, January 1, inclusive. The faculty feels that the common practice of students leaving early is not appropriate, and are following the plan of other universities in taking away credit for absences.

Lawrence Prepares to Extend Hospitality to Incoming Tiger Hordes
FUN STARTS EARLY
The banner of Welcome is ready to hang and the plans for the big parade have been finished, turkey dinners are in the process of perfection and every house is beaming with greetings. There are many visitors who are anxious to see the Jayhawkers twist that Tiger's tail.
The Turkey Day celebrations will start at 9:45 o'clock with the downtown parade. Floats, designating the work of the various organizations, four bands, marching classes, and machines bearing distinguished visitors will comprise part of the biggest parade ever seen in Lawrence.
Many students sent home last week for the harvesting overalls, donned them and started work on floats; from behind locked doors comes the odor of paint, glue and the sound of booming hammers, grating saws and very little talk. Secretive were the plans and the finished product is bound to remain a mystery until 9:45 Thursday morning.
The four classes will be represented by floats as well as columns of marching memers. The schools and departments have rented trucks and small cars and each is vieing with the other for the best looking display. There will be two K. U. bands, the Haskell band and, if the special arrives in time Missouri's band. The alumnae will be grouped under banners; the faculty and Board of Administration will ride in cars.
FOUR CLASS FLOATS
The merchants have shown the sentiment of the town by co-operating with the students to make stores and streets attractive.
The fraternity and sorority houses are dressed in their best bibs and tuckers; new records rest in the Victorial holder, pianos have been removed from the room and mobiles are getting a finger nail polish and lubricating of engines. The gas company has stored extra gas to cook the turkey and the city water will be sufficient and clear. An extra bucket of milk has been added a carload of mums has been ordered. Everything is ready and everybody is welcome.
EX-REGENTS TO BLAME
Calendar of Vacations Made Years Ago
Responsibility for the fact that only one afternoon is given students to reach their homes for Thanksgiving and that many students will have to travel all day New Years, in order to be in Lawrence for classes January 2, has finally been placed upon a board of regents which served many years ago, and which drafted the calendar now in force at the University of Pennsylvania. The fall semester shall open the first Wednesday after September 12. From this date, the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are figured.
Next fall, the semester will begin later, which will result in Christmas vacation commencing a week later, during a week later into the new year.
"According to the calendar, students will be required to return to Lawrence, December 30 this year." Registrar Foster, who has just completed drafting the calendar from the rules specified by the former board of regents, declared this morning, "but we are allowing one more day than the calendar allows because of that day being New Years."
Some students, to whom this was mentioned, but whose homes are so far away they will be unable to spend time in them, and much consolation in this generosity.
"This is the last time for many years that the holiday vacation will be so early." Chancellor Strong said this morning. "The time of vacations and the length of their duration is determined by the calendar rules set forth in the regents. While the granting of holidays, the hands of the University Senate, these rules must be adhered to as long as they are existent."
Many requests for later Christmas holidays have been made but all such petitions have been referred to the calendar rules.
