FROSH BEAT SOPHS AND JUNIORS SENIORS
6-0 Score in Two Games Results of Inter-class Contest
The freshmen beat the sophomores and the juniors beat the seniors at the inter-class football double-banner on Hamilton Field, Saturday afternoon. The score in both games was 6 to 0. Two inches of snow before the game but it was packed hard before the time they were finished.
The two hundred and fifty spectators" were well paid for their frozen feet and ears because snow football was more interesting than the skates. The Peewees slipped, slid and dove into the snow until they looked like snow men.
Junior-Senior Game
The first game was the Junior Senior contest which was a close battle. The juniors had the edge on their opponents but they had to work down the line and down. The seniors were powerful on the defence and their flying tackles through the snow kept the third year men away from their line. Sinee was a star for the Junior senior and the senior line for renamed gains.
Near the end of the first quarter, the juniors worked the ball to the senior three yard line and early in the third quarter Nigg went across for the touchdown. Campbell missed goal. The third and fourth quarters were featured by the junior attack. Twice in the third quarter the prehistoric fake in which the backfield swung around end and drew the senior defence after it while a junior darted away with the ball from the other side. Consistent punting saved the seniors several times in the last half.

Freshman-Sophomore Game
The freshmen and sophomores stared the real of afternoon and awoke the half frozen playing. the brightest playing. The freshies were better on the defense and played an even offensive game. In the first quarter the two teams showed little advantage but a punting duel forced the freshies close to the sophomore line. Arnold, the soph star, broke away several times for long runs. The opponent won the game on a peculiar play in the third chapter. The sophs were forced to punt behind their goal line. The punt went wild, struck the goal standards and bounced back. A freshie pounced on the pigkin and a touchdown was declared. Attempt to kick goal failed. The rest of the game took him colorful, the sophomores playing on the defense most of the time.

K. U. WILL NOT GO DRY ANY MORE, THEY SAY
Officials Sure About That But Water Will Still Have That Dark Brown Taste
"We'll have plenty of water now," said E. H. Dumire, City Engineer, this morning. He was sure of the quantity, but about the quality—well, he couldn't say, especially since the fluid running through the pipes today looks like castor oil—and tastes worse.
But we will have plenty of water. J. H. Mitchell, receiver for the Water Company says so to the editor in chief: Twenbelfow is sure that there is enough water in the Wakarusa and Kaw valley to give everybody in Lawrence half a dozen baths and then the pipe® must put forth their gravy-colored contents.
Mud and iron rust contribute to that painful, but harmless appearance of Lawrence city water. The State Water Survey laboratories have tested the water and find that its chief drawbacks are that its taste, smell and appearance are bad. It is neither impure nor harmful. The iron rust comes from the heavy iron deposits in the ground. The mud and iron must be poured up by the velocity of the water caused by the turning on and off of the faucets. The Water Company department feels sure that the University will not suffer from a lack of water again this winter.
What the water company is now trying to do is to insure a constant supply, according to J. H. Mitchell, receiver. "The supply we have available now," said Mr. Mitchell, "will furnish sufficient water to run the town and meet all emergencies. But we must begin now to prepare our equipment through a show on equipment arrives, we expect to commence work on a new well. This will require a month or six weeks to complete"

Eighty students have taken typhoid inoculation, 48 of whom have taken all three of the necessary injections. These eighty students have walked away with 150,000,000,000 bugs. To date, they have been sixth day old; inoculations have been given and December 15, will be the last before the holidays.
Mrs. Lucy B Johnston gave this morning the introduction to a series of talks on the general subject, "Life," which will be given this week, at morning prayers in Fraser chapel.
But half as many as last year have taken this preventative and considering the fact that it is free Dr. R. B. Brown, we need the students should take advantage of the State's willingness to help them. Three inoculations are necessary, these given from ten days to two weeks apart. The first dose consists of a syringe with the pho Bacterin while the other two inoculations contain 1,000,000,000 abece.
Babies are to be adopted by the women of Jackson College, Sommerville, Massachusetts if the plan origi- nates the class of the senior class there is effected.
FIRST TALK ON "LIFE"
GIVEN THIS MORNING
Send the Daily Kansan home.
"When I was a very small girl," said Mrs. Johnston, "I wanted to be a boy so that when I grew up I could run a candy store. Now, however, I desire nothing more than to occupy the exalt-position of true wife, mother and home keeper that I now hold."
Tomorrow morning the topic will be,
"Thy Speech Betrayeth Thee."

DRAKE BUILDDOGS START
WINTER PRICTICE SQUAD
Hoping to remedy their poor showing made this year in football Drake University has started winter practice with a squad of twenty-seven men. When the weather gets too cold for outdoor practice the men will have light indoor signal practice and blackboard drill. They also will return to school early next fall for practice.
As a result the followers of the Bulldogs are expecting they will have success to start on the other side, that it will help on the matter to make up the lack of material at the Iowa school. The material for next year is reported to be unusually promising by the Drake Daily Deli team, a strong team is looked for in 1915.
CLAIMS SNKE WORTH
$1,000 TWAS A LIZARD
Claiming that he had in his possession a specimen of hoop snake for which a snake dealer offered $1,000 for dead or alive, Mr. A. L. Townsend, of Iola, visited Lawrence today and asked the opinion of authorities of the Museum as to what he had.
When it was examined it was found that it was a ground lizard, Ophisaurus Ventralis, which is often called glass snake, jointed snake or hoop snake. This lizard sometimes loses part of its tail and when regenerating a new tail, the short stub looks like a spike. This is the supposed weapon with which most people use it, but it fights with at the side of its cheek to form a hoop. He claims that this lizard in his presence formed this hoop and that it also chipped off splinters with its tail from a stick with which he captured it.
This is a very harmless lizard and instead of its having all the dangerous and poisonous qualities attributed to it by most people, it is one of the most beneficial lizards the farmer has as it consumes enormous quantities of grasshoppers.

There are 354 registrations in courses offered by the University extension division. This includes registration to December 1. Regis- sation will have a heavier. On account of the fact that no monthly record of the number of students who registered last year was maintained, it is impossible to give the exact increase but F. R. Hamilton, director of the division, said that there is a much larger number enrolled this year than last year.
During November there were thirty-five applications for entrance into various courses. Languages, as compared with demand than mathematics or history.

MEXICAN POLICY ADOPTED
FOR NEW OREAD SCHOOL
"Watchful waiting is the only course that may be followed while the Board of Administration and the Legislature are acting upon the question of a new building on the campus to house Oread high school," declared Dean A. S. Olin, of the School of Education, who is on the committee to choose a location for the proposed new building.
The Board of Administration will act secretly upon the question. After the Board has passed upon it the Legislature will take the proposition up and it is hoped that body will make the appropriation.
Until the last action is taken by the state ruling body no definite plans will be made and consequently no authentic tips can be obtained as to how the proposed new structure will appear, where it will be situated, or an any of the other questions that remain unanswered.

Payment of two months' rental,
and part payment of the other bills
will keep the Union open. Dad
Gregory believes, so $150 or $200
is needed now—this week—before the
holidays.
In the three months of school only $218 has been realized from membership dues. Pledges are owed by at least 160. There are 1,617 men in school Twenty receipt books were printed and given out at the beginning of the school year, and have been turned in. The membership committee of the Council is making no effort to increase the membership, but is depending almost wholly on the members of the Council and the class executives. The sophomores are the only ones who have received their dues. The seniors are too busy, and the juniors have refused to help. The Councilmen are doing nothing.
No attempt is being made to get the money from the men who have signed but have not paid. The chairman of the membership committee says he does not consider it the duty of his committee. The Union com- ments is doing nothing toward collection. Nor are individual Councillemen.
The chairman of the Union committee was too busy to attend an informal meeting yesterday afternoon to discuss conditions, and said that he would be unable to do anything until Thursday. The Councilmen have not known of the state of affairs at the Union.
The operating expenses of the Union are approximately $165 a month. The income does not exceed $75. To make a financial success of the nursing new members every month are needed. Eight hundred in the course of the year—half the menin school—would enable the Union to be run as it should, and would allow some proportion be made for the payment of the debts.
Not More Than Twenty Professors or Students go to Union
FEW ATTEND FACULTY NIGHT
Two distracting social events for the professors and at least one for the students caused a very small attendance at the faculty night at the Student Union Friday night. Less than twenty faculty men attended and not more than that many students.
Those professors who did attend entertained themselves with the few students present at the card and billiard tables, and later dawn down to the University Club to the mixer and entertainers. And then the professors at the entertaining then went to the party in the Gymnasium.
EACH STATE IN UNION
HAS RHODES SCHOLAR
Every state in the Union has a representative at Oxford, due to the Rhodes scholarship which was endowed by Cecil Rhodes at his death. One hundred and fifty young men are kept at Oxford to study the classics, history, English, the sciences, law, medicine and theology. The University of Oxford examination covering Latingrammar reading and composition, Greek, mathematics, arithmetic, algebra or geometry.
The student must have completed the sophomore year in a reputable American college before entering Oxford. He must be unmarried, and between the ages of 19 and 25. Not only scholarship, but outdoor sports, qualities of manhood, truth, courage, and devotion to duty enter into the qualifications of the would-be Rhodes student. . . .
Studes Did Not Steal
Students of the University of Oregon were recently charged with kidnapping a bronze statue from the grounds of the Oregon Agricultural College before the football game between the two colleges, but investigation by the university authorities discredited the report.
