Get First Grip on That Tail Tonight
WHEATON WILL SPILL SOMETHING TONIGHT
Coach to Talk to Students in Pep Meeting in Channel
Coach Wheaton called up Manager Hamilton last night and with characteristic tenseism said:
"I want to talk to the students of the University sometime Tuesday night. Please arrange it if possible." That is why there is to be a spontaneous rally at Fraser tonight at seven.
Coach Wheaton has been the Silen
one all along. No persuasion or ca-
riodyne has been able to get him to
talk to the students. He has always
replied to importunities that he had
nothing to say.
Those who heard the Coach talk Friday night will be there. Those who heard from others about the Friday night's talk of the coach will be
Now that he has something to say and has actually asked for the privilege of saying it, Fraser will be packed.

Professor Barrell, Sigma Xi Lecturer
Gives Theory of Origin of Life
Prof. Joseph Barrrell of Yale delivered the first of his series of Sigma Xi lectures in Fraser chapel yester day afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in the morning, a memoir he heard his explanation of "Plan etary Conditions Permitting Life."
Professor Barrell traced the various theories of man's place in nature from the primitive conception of the ancient Greeks through the beliefs of the Middle Ages and the last century to the modern conception of the world as only a single body of the universe, a universe of which no center can be determined, and in which space and time are infinite.
Modern theories of the origin of life on the earth were explained, dealing with the effects of physical, chemical, and geological factors on life the germ.
This lecture was the first of a series of three to be delivered at the University under the auspices of the Sigma Xi fraternity. The general topic of the lecture is "The bearing on molecular issues" Place in Nature" The other two will be given in Fraser chapel this afternoon and this evening.

A melo-drama, first staged thousands of years ago, was reenacted through the stereopictan in a lecture by Prof. Joseph Barrell of Yale yesterday morning.

"SPOONERS" POOR STUDENTS SAYS DR. MABEL ULRICH
Speaker Declares Emotional Energy Used up in Flirting Destroys the Creative Power
"After a man or woman is twenty-five the eyes are never so keen, the ears are never so alert, or all the senses so quick to respond to a stimulus as before," said Dr. Mabel Ulrich yesterday in the fourth of his talks on "Social Media and Speech Biting and Early Encounters." "The emotions, we never again so near the surface as they are in the late 'teens and early twenties. This does not mean that we will not have any emotions after twenty-five, for life would not worth living, but it means that we will not respond to the beauty of a sunset with quite the same quick thrill.
"These are the years of production," continued Doctor Ulrich. "Genius is most powerful in this time of life. That is one reason why if men and women are coming to college they should not waste in emotional energy the power they should use for their creative work.
"There are three reasons why men and women should not 'spoon' or 'firl'. One is their degrading influence, the other is their lowering of the moral standard, and the third is that when the emotional use uped them, the create is used Early engagements are foolish for the same reasons. If you must be engaged in college, don't be engaged before your senior year."
Doctor Ulrich gives the last of her series of lectures this afternoon. From there she delivers her lecture before the women of the University of Colorado.

SUPPOSED "DIPPY"
STUDES HARMLESS
Only a Class Exercise
What would you think if you should see a person rush hurriedly down the steps of one of the buildings, make a bee-line for a nearby tree or building and "chase himself" around the same several times as fast as the law of inertia would get to him before he would go to his class. This is exactly what has been occurring recently at the Medic Building.
Some of the wise ones looked knowingly at each other, shook their heads and murmured, "dippy" while others witnessed the stunt in an attitude of awe and wonder. However, investigation disclosed the fact that there was no cause for alarm. It was a case in physiology performing an experiment of taking the temperature of students before and after exercise.

DR. STRONG SAYS RELIGION,
NOT CULTURE, OUR BASIS
"The European war has taught us that religion, not culture, is the basis of our civilization?" said Chancellor Strong to the students at morning prayers services this morning. The Chancellor pointed out that culture was simply a veneer, while religion was the real foundation of life.
Bringing the lesson home he said that this point should be kept in mind by university students. The teacher must be maintained, but should do so on a basis of religion.

JAYHAWKERS PREPARE TO TWIST THAT TAIL
Out of Valley Running the Kansas Men Line up for Tiger
Although out of the running for the championship of the Missouri Valley, the Kansas team has a good record this season. Kansas has played seven games, won five, lost one and tied one. The Jayhawkers have piled up 140 scores and have held their opponents to 74 points.
A victory over Missouri will bring a successful season to a close. Washburn, Drake, Kansas Aggies, College of Emporia and William Jewell were easy victories for K. U. while the Jayhawkers' work against Oakland was remarkable. In Oklahoma, O'buckka all hadush but considering the record of the Steimt team this season, Kansas did well to hold them to five touchdowns.
Here are the Kansas scores this fall:
Kansas 48 - William Jewell
Kansas 7 - College of E.
Kansas 27 - Kansas Aggies
Kansas 20 - Washburn
Kansas 16 - Oklahoma
Kansas 0 - Nebraska
Total 110 Opponents 67 All Inherent Out
All Jayhawkers Out
Every member of the Kansas squad reported for practice yesterday afternoon and showed little damage done by the Nebraska walkaway Saturday. Coach Wheaton did not meet his men but Coach Bond put them through a high jump and scored up and down the field, punted and recovered punts and did everything but run signals and scrimmage.
Wheaton will be here tomorrow for a signal practice and to start the final roundabout before the Kansas-Missouri game. The Nebraska disbanded for forgetting the Jayhawk will whet his appetite for Tiger meat.
the following is the distribution of touchdowns and goals this season to touchdowns.
