UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN VOLUME XII. NUMBER 63. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS FRIDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 11, 1914. THREE FOOTBALL STARS TURN DOWN DIPLOMAS To Be Eligible Next Fall Wood, Groft and Keeling Will Not Graduate Well the good news is out. Woody Andy Groft, and Ross Keeling will be back next year to help Captain Tony James produce an All-Valley champion in 1915. At the close of the season it was announced that these three regulars having at the end of this season number of hours, would be handed a sheepskin and told to depart hence. The Varsity player-coaches put the finishing touches on their work last night and today are busy telling what their proteges are going to do to the other fellow in tomorrow's games. But they will refuse their degrees and come back next year and play the third season on the Varsity they are entitled to. And to make it still better maybe Woody will insist on his full rights and stay the year after. It is rather hinted that he thinks a full four year college course would be a fine climax for his two years of pharmacy while he grafts and Veterinarian shack up an oven term and have time to go out for baseball and spring football. It will help the team on the 13th and 20th of next November. The football fans who brave tomorrow's cold may expect to be amply repaid for their shivers and chills for they should see two good football games when the senior junior and soph-fresh battles are staged for the interclass honors of 1914. According to the "grand old dope" Captain Tony James and his assistants, Messrs. Bill Gray, Lindsey, and Kemper, have gotten together an eleven out of their mammoth freshman squad which should prove the Nebraska of the school, both in the color of their jerseys and the number of guys they wear. The players are positive that the dope is wrong as usual and are positive that it is their proteges that will emulate the example of the Cornhuskers. The schedule drawing has so aranged the schedule that what are supposed to be the strongest teams will meet each other. Both of the upper class teams have been somewhat handicapped by lack of material. The majority of the junior lineup however will be that of last year's champions and this is expected to cut team size. Captain Deed Holloway who are directing the destinies of the 1915 organization have worked a fast speedy team together which is sure to cause trouble. Tomorrow's game will start promptly at 1:20 o'clock and admission is free. The officials will be: Referee, McCary; mctapin, Jay Bond and head linesman, Bill Weidlein. The lineups of the teams: Seniors L.E.-Whitten Lamb, or Bradley L.T.-Maroney Campbell L.G.-Neal Buchanan or McNutt C.-Vermillion A.

NEBRASKA COMPAINS OF NEW CONFERENCE RULES The Daily Nebraskan, while rejoicing that the odious thirty hour rule was repealed by the Conference moguls at their meeting last week, went quietly against the new county eight-hour rules which will take its place. According to the Cornhusker sheet it is merely putting on the athlete a handicap of four more hours than is required of the ordinary student to become a sophomore or eligible for other student activities. SPENDS THOUSAND AND SPENDS THOUSAND AND HALF FOR PERIODICALS The University library spends a large sum each year for subscriptions to both foreign and domestic magazines and periodicals.

VARSITY AND FRESHMAN FIVES TANGLE MONDAY Curtain Raiser of Basketball Season Will be a Good Game Judging From Practice Fans who turn out for the Freshman-Varsity basketball contest next Monday night should see a good fight. Last night these two teams staged a 15 minute exhibition, the Varsity winning 14-11. The freshmen excelled in short and fast drills under the basket, dribbling and long shots they were not as accurate as the more experienced men. The Conference champions are rapidly rounding into form and followers of the game may not be surprised to see another championship team. The fact that the freshmen give the Varsity such good competition and favor it in the selection of the Varsity, as it gives the men the benefit of keen competition before the opening of the Conference season. DIMINISHED FIRE LOSSES MARK THE CURRENT YEAR Preliminary reports from the Fire Marshal today indicate that there is a three-quarters of a million dollars decrease in the fire loss this year. This is on the basis of statistics which cover nine months. The estimated loss this year is slightly less than $3,500,000. Three of the largest losses during the past year occurred last month. At Chanute a $100,000 glass factory was destroyed. The burning of the Kansas City stockyards, though chiefly in Missouri, also caused much damage to Mesa. The construction which destroyed a large portion of the business district of Burton, added materially to the fire loss of the year. FRESHMAN WOMEN WILL HAVE DANCE OF OWN The class officers of the freshman women met yesterday afternoon at the home of Elizabeth Plank, 1251 Bickford Road to make plans for future entertainment. They have planned a tacky dance for Saturday, january 9th, to be given in the Gymnasium. The old fashioned square dances as usual were tried out once. They are also planning to have farces and stunts and anyone desiring to pull off a stunt will be permitted to do so. They will charge an admission of 10 cents which will help to help in payment for future parties.

W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. a rich, mellow, golden brown fluid began bright and early this morning to ooze through the faucets which had been left on during the drought.

Dickenson, of the department of mining, addressed the Geology Club Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in Haworth Hall on "The Geology of the Menominee iron Range of Michigan."

They predict that never again will the Hill be dry and that in a day or two the hydrants will be running bright and clear as the mountain stream. BAND GIVES FALL CONCERT Met'antes Men Play Before 250 Stu'dents in Fraser Hall The University band, under the direction of its head, J. C. McCanless, gave its annual fall concert before students in Drusser Hall last night. The program varied from "Scenes Pittorewsques", Massenet, to 'Oh! Oh! Delphine', Ivan Caryll.

JIM NASIUM TO ENTERTAIN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSITY Doors of His Home Will be Thrown Open at Eight For Yuetide Festivity Mr. and Mrs. Jim Nasium entertain the young people of the University at the Y. M. and Y. W. all-University party tonight. Santa Claus, rotund and ruddy, will distribute stocking legs of candy to the children, and it is said on the Hill that there will be a genuine Christmas tree. A toyland romance bordering on tragedy will be staged to help entertain the guests and with tin soldiers, live dolls and jumping-jacks there is sure to be no sleep moment. Everybody wants to know everybody else also and it planned to have large circles in opposite directions enabling all the University people to meet. Last night almost a dozen heavily disguised figures were seen stealing out of town in the direction of a fine evergreen grove. Only conjecture can say where they went and what they sought. Come wandering into the storied operations and pre-requisites of the Christmas season are being surreptitiously smuggled into the home of the Nasiums and the rumor is afloat that there will be old fashioned strawberry jam sandwiches, hot chocolate, with marshmallows and whipped cream for the hungry urchins to eat and drink. The next trick will be played, "Three Deep," "Jerusalem," and "New York." will do service as they have done for years at Yuletide affairs. At 8 o'clock tonight the doors of the Jim Nasium home will be thrown open to the happy Christmas crowd and these good people promise that they will make a happy evening of it for all. Mr. Jim is only a poor working man so a moderate charge of ten cents will be levied. Everybody is to be there for ye old fashioned Christmas. THINKS FACULTY OUGHT TO GET FREE ANNUAL PICTURES "Pictures of the faculty in the 1915 Jayhawker would be a fine thing," said Prof. W. L. Burdick, of the School of Law, when questioned this afternoon. "I remember that when I was in school, the faculty pictures were an elemental part of the annual, and I do not see why the University of Kansas should not have them. "A few years, after you students have been out of school you will appreciate your annual much more if they do not work with our profs. The picture, in my estimation, would be much more appropriate and certainly no more expensive than a cartoon or a page of snapshots; and I should like to see it in the form of text messages, however that the faculty members should, or would, pay for it." PI GOES TO THE CLASS WHEN IT STUDIES BACON Pi, the white bull dog of the Pi Upsilon fraternity, has developed a sudden taste for the English classes of Miss Margaret Lynn. He slept the 9:30 hour yesterday and today in her room in Fraser. "We had Bacon's essays yesterday, and that is what attracted him I believe, but it must be some other attraction today," said Miss Lynn. She was firm in her command that no one disturb his slumbers. EDITOR WILL ADDRESS STUDENTS OF EDUCATION "Education for efficiency," is the theme upon which Dr. A. E. Winship, editor of the Journal of Education, will speak in Blake Hall lecture room at 4:30 o'clock Monday afternoon. The lecture is under the auspices of the School of Education, but all persons interested in the subject are invited to attend. Alemann will give a dance at Eagles' Hall tonight at 8:30 o'clock. Alemannia Dances STUDES TO ENTERTAIN FACULTY MEN TONIGHT Will Hold Open House for Profs at Student Union Building All Evening Tonight will be faculty night at the Student Union and its supporters are anxious to have every faculty man on the Hill pay a visit to the house, at 1200 Tennessee street, some time during the evening. The object of the plan is to give the men students an opportunity to meet their instructors in an informal way and to promote good fellowship. No especial stunts have been planned for the evening but the billiard and card tables, the new duplicate whist sets and the checker and chess boards will be open to the use of everybody. Students who have been making a game will have an opportunity to demonstrate to the profs that they are clever at some things even if they do not always recite perfectly. It is hoped that a custom can thus be established and that every Friday night may be one night in the week when students can expect to find some professors at the Union. This has been done at other schools and the Student Union is the place where lonesome studies can always hope to find some friend on the faculty to go to for advice. Committees have been appointed from the various classes to be 'on hand and "help break the ice." Every student, whether he is a member of the Union or not, and every man on the faculty is requested to drop in to the Union for a few moments and get acquainted. OREAD WILL PUBLISH HOT STUFF, SAY THE EDITORS Magazine Will Carry Uncensored Student and Faculty Opinion— Save Staff The Oread Magazine, hot, according to the editors, Karl G. Pinkard and John M.
