Tony James, the big Jayhawker linesman, was the only Kansas honored with a position on the All-Valley conference football eleven which was chosen by coaches and officials in Kansas City last week. James will play left guard in mythological games. His steady work in every game gave him the honor above a host of good linesmen in the conference.
Big Burton and Wood are members of the third eleven this season. Burton was on the first team last year but he failed to play up to his standard this year. With such men as Halligan, Clay, Corey and Mattison, Burton was over quarterback but not a surprise because the little Kansan has played remarkable foot ball this year.
On the second eleven Bonnie Reber, K. U. end, was chosen right end and Bill Gray, the speedy Kansas half back drew the right half job. Reber is a good man on offence as well as defence and many fans expected him to rank on the first squash that they missed promising backs in the Conference and probably will be promoted to the first team next season.
On the first team, Nebraska has six men, Halligan, Rutherford, Chamberlin, Abbott, Howard and Cameron. Missouri has two men, Clay at tackle and Shepard as fullback. Kansas football followers fail to see the wisdom in giving Shepard the position with him, but Winfrey and Drikel in the game. Ames places two men from their heavy squad—Packer, end and Moss, quarterback.
Bill Hargiss has two Kansas Normal on the roll of honor, Belting, fullback and Hartwig, tackle. Skinner, of the Kansas Agries, was waived after first came Washburn was not mentioned on any ten or the honor roll.
The Philosophy Club will meet to tomorrow night at 7:30 oclock in Room 101. Administration Building. Miss Eileen Koehler. On "The Control of the Wall" in "On The Control of the Wall."
Freshmen at the University of California are now smoking corn-cob pipes. The sophomores put the ban on duckets and enforce it with duckets.
The Next Thing on the Program,Ladies and-
J. R. MOTT WILL BE AT
K. U. FROM MARCH 5 TO 8
Leader Could Come in Either January or March—Later Date More Convenient
John R. Mott will lead the Mott campaign at the University from March 5 to 8. Secretary Conrad Hoffman, of the Y. M. C. A., received a telegram this morning from Mott saying he could lead the campaign from January 7 to 10 or from March 5 to 8.
The later date was selected because the week was more free from conflicting engagements.
K. U. STUDENTS MAY GET DEGREE IN THREE YEARS
During the Thanksgiving recess, Chancellor Strong met with sixteen heads of departments of the University and discussed plans for a twelve months school year. The new plan would enable students to finish the required 120 hours for a bachelor's degree in three years, instead of four. The plan is now in vogue at the University of Chicago and is being considered by educators over the country.
The heads of the departments were evenly divided, eight voting for and eight voting against the adoption of the new plan.
BOARD TO ADD BUILDING
APPROPRIATION TO BUDGET
Appropriators for buildings and for general repairs that will be asked for from the legislature when it meets in January have not yet been appointed to the incorporation in the budget of the University for the next two years.
Several things in the general makeup of the budget will be revised before it is submitted. The Board of Administration will decide on the amount of money that will be asked for.

RODKEY TAKES HONORS AT THANKSGIVING RUN
Conference Champion From Kansas Wins Cross Country at Kansas City
Running easily, with a safe lead, Fred Rodkey, Conference cross country champion, carried the Kansas colors to first place at the annual Thanksgiving day race in Kansas City. Rodkey completed the course, which was a little short of 5 miles, in 25 minutes and 58 seconds.
Grady of Kansas and Weaver of the Kansas Aggies had a hard fight for second honors, Grady finally winning with a well sustained burst of speed at the finish. Weaver took third easily from Fawcett of Missouri who just nosed out Walsh of the Kansas City Athletic Club.
Rodkey will receive a gold watch for winning the race, and Grady will get a medal. Every member of the team ate Thanksgiving dinner as a guest of the Kansas City Athletic Club. Several of the Kansas men entered were not able to run as the Santa Fe train was late. Captain Cassius started in the machine, did not get there till the race was over.
Rehearsal of the first act of the Senior Play, "The Professor's Love Story," was held this afternoon at 3:00 o'clock in Room 3 of Green Hall.

They are Mary Seymour (Mary), Olivia Olson, Ruth Litchen, Wayne Wigart, Dean McElhenny, and Guy Houston.

Post-season Football Starts on McCook Field This
Afternoon
Interclass football will start this afternoon on McCook Field when all candidates are requested to be in suits. Manager W. O. Hamilton told this morning of some of the rules that would govern the eligibility of the men who will be in the lineup of the class eleven.
None of the twenty-six players on this year's Varsty squad will be allowed to play. All K men whether they played this year or not will also be barred. The coaching will be done by two or three regulars of the Varsty team who will be assigned to each team. Coach Wheaton, Bond, and Mackenzie and Marcia Lyon hard to give their expert advice but most of the drilling of the men will be done by the Varsty player-coaches.
The reason for the strict eligibility rules which bars all experienced players was explained by Mr. Hamilton.
The principal purpose of the inter-class games is to get sixty or seventy new men out for football. It is for this reason that Coach Smith will usually watch the material for any future Brickleys Chamberlains, or Rutherfords.
All the equipment which is furnished by the Athletic Association may be checked out either at McKee Field or at Hamilton's office. Manager Hamilton asks all players on the team to check out what they have checked in their material to do so as it will be badly needed to equip the men out for interclass. An effort will be made to have a different color suits for each eleven. The freshmen will wear their customary maroon jerseys. The sophomores will probably be given the old striped suit when playing and getting a suit must get the O. K. of Dr. James Naismith showing that his physical condition is all right.
TONY JAMES, who plays right gua rd on All-Valley team.
The actual conflicts between the classes will not start until the last week before Christmas, giving the coaches two weeks to get their material drilled into championship shape.
ZOLOGY PROF MARRIES
ILINIOS SCHOOL TEACHER
A wedding of interest to University students and faculty was the recent union of Prof. Herman Douthitt, of the department of zoology, and Miss Bessie May Price, of Rock Falls, Ill. The wedding had been planned for a later date, but owing to the illness of Professor Douthitt, the plans were changed. Mrs. Douthitt has been principal of the high school at Rock Falls for some time and returned there after the wedding to resume her position until a successor can be secured.
Professor Douthitt has recovered temporarily, from the attack of illness which he suffered November 19 His physicians, however, have advised an operation, which will be performed in about ten days. He expects to return to his duties on the Hill after the holidays.
The new "Sergeant" drill is now being used at the mining department. This drill is a successful combination of the air thrown valve of the spool type, with an improved modification of the tappet action. No machine of equal cylinder diameter can equal its effective penetrating quality. The manufacturers of the machine claim that it is the most economical of its kind, on the market.

Golf Course Ready
The mowers have finished their work on the Oread Golf course and the links are in condition for winter playing, the grass being clipped short on the entire green. Several K. U. golfers expect to play all winter except when snow covers the course.
ADAMS THE FIRST FACULTY
MAN IN STUDENT DIRECTORY
"First in war, first in peace, and first in the list in the student directory." Such is the claim set for by King Adams, junior in Fraser Hall. For the second straight year, King heads the list of "Faculty, Officer and Employees" of the University in George O. Foster's Annual.
"Yah ash," says King, "Afthe
saucers come the puffessors, so

TO CHARGE TEN CENT FEE FOR ADMISSION AT PARTY
Every Student in the University Wanted at Y. M.-Y. W. Christmas Celebration
Ten cents will be the charge made for admittance by the Y. M., and Y. w. cabinet at their joint Christmas December 11 in Robinson Gymnasium.
The two organizations are planning to make this the largest social event of the year. A much larger crowd is expected to attend than was planned at the first all-University party given by the Christian Associations.
One of the interesting features of the evening will be the Christmas tree for all students of the University, with a real live Santa Claus who will have presents for everyone. The program as now planned will carry in it all the elements of an old fashioned Christmas party. Prof. Arthur MacMurray, of the department of public speaking, will read, write and sing "Before Christmas" in front of the Christmas tree. A Toyland pantomine will be the midnight feature of the party. James A. Butin, the whistler, will bring his mocking-bird notes along to add to the program.
It is the ambition of the two organizations to have every member of the student body and faculty attend the party.
PROF. TWENHOFEL WRITES FOR CANADIAN MAGAZINF
K, U. Author of Two Articles in October Report of Geological
Prof. W. H. Twenhofer, of the department of geology, is the author of two articles in the October report to the Canadian Geological Survey. They are "Anticottis Island Faunas," and "New Genera and Species of Fossils from Anticottis Island." They are also the author of a summary of a memoir to be published by Professor Twenhofer on the geology of the island.
The island of Anticosti is in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Professor Twenhofel studied the fauna of the island in the summer of 1909, under the auspices of the Peabody Museum, of Yale. Later the Canadian Government offered to bear the expense of building three tons of fossils were gathered for museums. Seven hundred and seventy-one species were found, 411 being of the Ordvician System, and 360 of the Silurian System.
"Meniér, the French chocolate manufacturer," said Professor Twenhof in telling of his trip, "owns the island and has built a beautiful chateau there. The population numbers about 200, mixed French and Indians, and the island covers 400 square kilometres. The island has long been known to mariners as 'the cemetery of ships', so rough and dangerous are its coasts. It is certainly one of the finest known fossil-bearing grounds.'

ARCHITECTS GET TWENTY
NEW BOOKS AND WANT MORE
The library of the department or architectural engineering will soon be enlarged by an addition of about 20 volumes selected by Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith during his trip to the East in the summer vacation. These books include histories of the different periods of architecture, portfolios of measured drawings of Gothic and Renaissance examples, and several architectural works which may be classed as literature.
"In spite of these additions to the library the department has great need of additional works that will cost over $1000. It would be a great help to the department if some citation Kansas would show their interest in the new course by contributing funds for the purchase of these books."
DEAN BLACKMAR SAYS WE
SHOULD REVERE OUR WORK
"We should approach University work with reverence because it is a part of God's work," said Dean F. Blackmar in his first talk of the week's morning prayer services. The Dean made the remark in the introduction to the series of sermonettes he will give during the week, on natural life of law, and survival of 6ft, unfit and best.

During this time many students have moved or made changes so that there are inaccuracies in the publication as it appears now. To offset this the Daily Kansan will publish any correction that students may wish to make.
