JAYHAWKERS GET FINAL POLISHING
Kansas Gridiron Machine Receives Finishing Touches From Coaching Staff
GAME WILL BE A TOSSUP
Olcott and Clark Believe Students Have Underestimated Tiger Offensive
With the Jayhawker-Tiger combo only three days ahead, Coaches Olcott and Clark are putting in the last hard finish on the Kansas machine. The leaders of the squad insist that the team will have to fight ever harder than they did in the Cornhusky game. The Jayhawker-Tiger, but not a moment is being lost, nor a bit of work spared that might put the team in better shape
Today the team will run signals and scrimage with the freshmen in the hopes of getting some valuable pointers from the yearlings on Missouri tactics for the coming conflict. Coach McCarty has worked a wonderful offensive attack, styled like Tippo's method, into the Tyros and their showing against the regulars last Friday proved that either the varsity was in poor form or the Missouri ideas were new ones to them.
LEARNING MIZZOO PLAYS
LEARNING MIZZO 2 PLAYS
Saturdays morning the squared made a much better impression in their scrimmage with the freshmen team and in the tussle tonight the regulars should have little trouble crushing the formidable yearling defense.
Yesterday a rest was taken in preparation for the scrimmage tonight. The usual Sunday hike was not taken.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 27, 1916.
The statement of Coach Occhitt that the game is a toss-up destroyed all the over-confidence that might have been evident after the Husker battle. There have been no injuries on the squad to bring about a change in attitude but rather the Kansans have come to the conclusion that they have underestimated the strength of the Tiger eleven.
ROOTERS CONFIDENT
Rooters fear a surprise but they are not wavering in the belief that the Jayhawkers will be the victors by only the closest of margins
Those who have studied the situation are unanimous in the declaration that no Valley team can boast a better aggregation of fighters than the Kansas backfield. Critics are certain that if the defensive work of the Jayhawkers holds in the big Turkey Day contest the combination of Lindsey, Woodward, Foster, Nielsen, Fast and Pringle will do the rest.
That Kansas has the better of the two elevers every person in Lawrence believes and with the break of luck even they will twist the Tiger'tail.
REVEL AT MANLESS DANCE
One Hundred Fifty Couples Enjoy W. A. A. Matinee
The main floor of the gymnasium was darkened with red and blue shades over the lights and windows were covered with K. U. blankets.
Seventy-five couples enjoyed the manless W. A. A. Matinee held in Robinson Gymnasium Saturday afternoon where promptness and surprises were the features of the first all-woman's dance of the year
"I notice that there are no wail flowers in the decorative scheme," remarked Don Davis, Sour Owl editor who insisted upon being admitted long enough to hang some colorse and, lettered, advertising posters.
There was something doing every minute from three until five-thirty o'clock. By three o'clock every program was filled and the dance was on. The short intermissions afforded a good time for rousing college songs. Mrs. Charles Esterley and Dr. Dorpitt sang in the grand ballroom the lower floor when refreshments were served during the twenty minute intermission.

D. G. PATTerson CONTRIBUTES TO SCIENTIFIC MAGAZINE
The name of Donald G. Patterson, instructor in psychology at the University of Kansas, appears as joint author with that of Rudolph Pintner of the University of Ohio, in the No. 10 book two well known scientific magazines.
One of the articles in which Mr. Patterson collaborated with Mr. Pintner is "The Survey of a Day School for the Deaf" which appeared in the American Annals of the Deaf. It came as a result of a survey made by the authors of the Grand Rapids Day School for the Deaf.
The other article is "A Measurement of the Language Ability of Deaf Children." This paper appeared in the Psychological Review and contains a comparison of the language abilities of hearing and deaf children.
Students Study Liquor Business and Enter State Oratorical
K. U. GOES AFTER BOOZE QUESTION
Contest
A group of men interested in learning more about prohibition and oratory organized a local Intercollegiate Prohibition Association at Myers Hall Friday afternoon. George A. Brown, P19, was chosen president, and J. Smith, 20, vice president, and J. Godfrey Stuff, C19, secretary and treasurer.
Several men have promised to enter the local oratorical contest which will be held the last of January. All undergraduate students regularly enrolled in the University are eligible to enter the contest. The winner of the local contest will represent the University of Kansas at the State contest to be held at Baker University in March.
The Intercollegiate Prohibition Association represents the largest student movement of a civic character in American colleges. It has been organized in 230 colleges and universities and has today an enrolled membership of over 6,500 students. Every year hundred of students go into wet territory from colleges and universities to help fight for prohibition.
The vast series of student oratorical contests conducted by the Association is an educational force of great power and popularity. The series, every oration of黛尔·狄雷利 them is the most extensive in American college oratory. Contests are held in the local colleges, the winner of which enters the state; the highest honor speakers of the states come together in four great inter-state contests each year; finally, each two years, the winners of the interstate contests receive sections of the country, come together to compete for national honors.
At the present time these contests are the sources of 600 original anti-liquor orations each year. The winner of the national contest is the winner over 1,100 who originally entered this contest, in order to show that these students spend from two weeks to a year reading and studying, writing and rewriting, getting down deep into the liquor problem, and that many of them deliver their orations before audiences before and after the contest, that some of them go $ \theta $t in schools, universities, towns, churches and school houses, it can be better understood what a tremendous educational force these prohibition contests are.
TEN STUDENTS TO WRITE
Fifty Dollar Play Prize Attracting Attention
"Ten students have already spoken to me about competing for the fifty dollar prize play offered by the Dramatic Club." Prof. Arthur MacMurray, of the department of public speaking, said this morning. "I would like to see a good many try outs, for I believe that there is a good deal of latent talent for play-writing among our students. We are taking for a play with college atmosphere, a thing which a student should be able to present accurately and realistically because he, himself, is a part of college life.
"Beside winning the prize for writing the best play the writer will also be able to see the 'work of his brain' presented by the Dramatic Club. There is all the reason in the world that students should compete for the honor."
Prof. Arthur C. Terrill, head of the mining department, went to Topeka, this afternoon, to get the old lead and zinc ore which the Kansas Academy of Science has had on display for years. The ore is no good for exhibition any longer, so it will be used in the ore dressing laboratory.
All contestants should speak to Professor MacMurray in regard to specifications for writing the play.
MANY ALUMNI TICKETS SOLD
Billy Morgan and Burdick Will Speak at Senior-Alumni Smoker
EACH MAN BURNS TIGER
Tommy and Guinea Will Mix for Barber Shop Championship
The Senior-Alumni ticket sale today, spurred on by the large number of "old grads" returning for the Fiery-Jayhawk battle, took an unprecedented jump, as many tickets being sold as had been disposed of in the past week. Incoming trains brought scores of the old timers and the little red admittance tags were taken care of by the dozer, as the artist is the one event of Thanksgiving week when all can get together for the big "Homecoming" celebration the night before the game of all games.
Last year the smoker was a decided success but the event this year promises to eclipse in every way the initial "spread". Over half again as many have signified their intention of being there by spending twenty-five cents for the best two hours of pleasure and reminiscences preceding the Turkey Day struggle on Mcook. Just looking at the page from his mixer committee, Ivan Huntsinger and James Galle, bid Bill Weber have left no stones unturned to make the affair the best ever.
W. Y. (Billy) Morgan, the editor and Lieutenant Governor, will be on hand with one of his characteristic "straight from the shoulder" talks. His subject has not been assigned but no one need be the least anxious for his talk will be witty and snappy. Thomas Davenport Smith, familiarly known as "Busy," is Smith the man who uppee "Pep." Smith is the man who uppee the pot pepper and set the Hill afire at the Nebraska rally here last year.
Doctor Burdick, vice-chancellor of the University will speak for the faculty and welcome back all the faculty both young and old. Like W. Y. Morgan, Dr. Burdick will treat the men especially by addressing a specific speaking line. In addition there will be some impromptu speeches from a few of the big crowd hand,
The head-liner of the evening's entertainment will be the four-round bout between Tommy and Guinea, Jack Hook's porters. Both have been selected by a promise to put on one of the best fictive classes ever staged in Lawrence.
Interspersed between the different numbers of the strong program, will be the eats, smokes, and drinks, to help along in good measure the spirit of the "Welcome Home" affair. All the eligibles will meet at the Robinson Gymnasium at 7:30 and will march down the "Eagles Hall," burning miniature tigers on their torches along the line of march.
GET THEM WEDNESDAY
Students Asked to Give Ten Cents to Loan Fund for Directories
The proposed charge of ten cents for the University directories cannot be made because the directory is state property, but they are worth much more than that to the student, and Registrar Foster urges that the student should be charged to the Student Loan Fund when they call 'or their directory.'
The directories will be released from the state printer Wednesday and most of the students will be able to leave having on their Thanksgiving vacation.
Everyone will be so thankful to get their little guide book before the spring term begins that they will be willing to pay ten cents for it. However, ten cents is only the lower limit. There is no upward limit, for there could never be more money in the Loan Fund than could be used.
"If a student doesn't care ten cents for doctor's," said Mr. Foster, "he cap has."
"About 100 other persons, who probably decided that the danger was past or who were hurt a little at first, neglected to come back for the second and third shots, said Miss Molly Holly, of Miss Mary this morning. "I thing they were very foolish, for one or two shots are ineffective, and the risk is not over. However, we do not expect any more cases of typhoid to develop."
Thirteen hundred persons, a majority of them men, have been inoculated for typhoid since school opened, which means that 1300 persons have insured themselves of immunity to typhoid for a period of three years.

The big homecoming parade will be out on Thursday morning starting from the Hill at 9:45. This is the announcement of the members of the den's Student Council and Cheerleaders who have been promoting the stunt.
Last week the Council appointed a committee which saw every class president, department president and school president. Each gave his word to the committee. The parade and work was started Saturday on most of the floats.
The alumni office gives assurance that all alumni will take part in this parade. They will be grouped according to the year of their graduation.
There will be four bands in the parade, and possibly five. The K. U. band will be split into a first and second band. The Haskell band and the city organization will also 'take part in this parade. The Missouri band will be invited to join if the Missouri special arrivals in time.

ta from the Eldrigh House corner to South Park, where it will disband.
EAT, AND TALK FINE ART
North Collegegans at Banquet Depict Dilapidation
A promise for a new home for the music students was the result of the Fine Arts Banquet held Friday night in Robinson Gymnasium. The Board of Administration was present, and the case was so well presented by toasts and fancies that the Board admitted the need of a new building for next year, and will recommend an appropriation to the legislature.
All the toasts were directed to the absorbing topic of a new building. Several fares, depicting the dilapidated condition of the old North College so affected the Board that the treatment be provided for the attainment be provided for the legislature, if no other way were found to accomplish results.
Dean Harold Butler gave a splendid talk about the needs of the School of Fine Arts, and Prof. Charles S. Skilton gave a history of North College, from the time it was the whole University building, a private asylum, down to the time when it was a cast-off for the poor music students.
One fact was thoroughly established in the minds of those present at the banquet, that the School of Fine Arts was no longer on trial, but was more than ever before successful, and that more either on the present site or as a wing to the new Administration Building, was an absolute necessity.
IS IT A DIAMOND? NO.
Glassy Stone Looked Like a Diamond to Nashville Man
Dr. Winthrop P. Haynes has just received a glassy stone about the size of a pigeon egg for scientific inspection. It was sent by a man from Nashville, Kansas and is supposed to be a diamond.
The specimen, however, proved to be only a quartz pebble and is much water-worn. Such specimens of quartz pebbles are very rare in Kansas and this is probably the reason why the Nashville man took it for a rough diamond, according to Dr. Havnes.
The Nashville man first sent the stone to the Agricultural College at Manhattan, but they sent it here for Dr. Haynes to inspect.
The Weather
Generally fair tonight and Tuesday, somewhat colder tonight east and south portion, warmer Tuesday north and west portion.
