WHITE CROSS MONEY MORE VALUABLE NOW
Funds May Buy Flour at Low Price in the Present Market
Money is worth more to the White Cross fund now than it will be later on. Flounder has been quoted to the committee at a price considerably lower the market quotations—the price may not last. Therefore, Prof. H, R. Cady urges those who have signed pledges to pay the amount due as soon as possible at the office of the Registrar.
Professor Cady attended the meeting of the executive committee of the Kansas Belgium Relief Fund in Topeka, Saturday, and was made a member. An organization is to be effected which will give immediate relief to thousands. The state will be sub-dived into districts and the committee plans to collect and ship 100,000 barrels of flour in ten days.
the committee is planning to send flour, if it meets the approval of G. Mignotel, Belgian consul at Kansas City, through whose hands $'32 collected by the committee has already gone. "We've got $160 now," said Professor Cady. "That will buy 40 barrels of flour. The price is probably lower here than anywhere else in the world."
WILL FORM CENTRAL CLUB FOR COUNTY ORGANIZATIONS
President Bottomly Will Call Meeting of Presidents and Secretaries for Completion of Body
Victor Bottomly, president of the Men's Student Council, will call the presidents and secretaries of the county clubs together this week to form an inter-county organization with a president and officers of its own.
This is done to centralize affairs which affect all the clubs and to provide them with a definite source for their literature. Thirty-six of the larger counties are now organized, which makes it evident that this year's inter-county club will be an active and important body. It's chief object, of course, will be to push the mill tax amendment.
Notes of Big Contest With Northern Team—Fresh Prejudice
COMING, GOING AND THERE
The Lineoln Field press box although nearly twice as big as the one at McCook Field was filled to capacity. Every telegraph operator, and messenger boy in town who could possibly get away was at the game "helping on a wire." The result was that the newspaper men who had to write a story of the game worked at a big disadvantage.
Nearly every student who got off the train yesterday morning tried to have some trophy of the trip besides a splitting headache. Nearly all had copies of the Pink Sheet Extra of the Lincoln Star with the huge head line telling the score. The book perhaps was secreted from Nell Clinl who coached a game as a staff man in Kansas City Journal. The object was of many令人宽观的 glances as he walked Massachusetts street yesterday morning carrying a huge sign captured from one of the Lincoln Traction Company's cars.
The Kansas band was the first organization of its kind to appear on Nebraska Field this season from a foreign school. As a result the Cornhusher aggregation had some real competition even if it was nearly a third larger.
The Daily Kansas was well represented at the game. Besides, Cal Lambert, sport editor, and Prof. Merle Thorpe who assisted him in handling the telegraph renort for the chapel bulletins, the following also took the trip: John Gleissner, Guy Scrivener, Ames Rogers, J. W. Dyche, Charles Sweet, Paul Brindle, and Ross Busenbark.
Because of the unexpected early hour the Jayhawk special arrived at Lincoln many of the sleepy refused to believe that they had actually arrived at the home of the Cornhuskers. It was just breaking dawn when the train arrived and nearly an hour before the band and rooters marched up town to wake up the natives.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 16, 1914.
Y. M. C. A. MEETING VOTES TO TAKE UP POINT SYSTEM
Students Would Take up Plan Used at Minnesota and Other Large
Schools
That the point system, in practice in the University of Minnesota, should be adopted here was the sentiment expressed at the meeting of the Y. M. C. A. yesterday afternoon in Myers Hall when the new plan for limiting the number of college activities was discussed.
By restricting the number of college activities in which one person may take part, the point system aims at three things: first, to spread among the many students the honors which are monopolized by a few; second, to benefit the organizations by assuring each other of their presence is concentrated; third, to protect prominent individuals from being burdened with more outside work than is safe for either their studies or their health.
According to the Minnesota plan, each office in school counts so many points, as; president of the Student Council, 30 points, editor of the Daily, 35. Each man is allowed to carry a maximum of 50 points.
Don Joseph, president of the senior class, James Sellers, Hugo Wedell, and Earnest Blincoe discussed the system. A straw vote resulted unanimously in favor of adopting a similar plan at Kansas.
A convocation is announced for Friday, November 20th, at 1:30 o'clock p. m. Dr. Graham Taylor, President of the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy will speak on "Social Progress Under the Shadows of the War."
Frank Strong, Chancellor.

Doctor Strong Will Take Up Struggle as it affects Culture and
Religion
Two hundged and fifty students braved the wintry blasts of Oread this morning to hear the first of the song as they with Chancellor Strong presiding.
The Chancellor will be the speaker of the week and will take up the question of the struggle in Europe with regard to culture, formal religion, its solution, and the duty of the University in regard to it. Each of these will be treated on one morning of the week.
His talk this morning emphasized the intimate connection between religion and civilization and made the case that being tested by the European war.

LINDSAY READS FROM
WRITINGS AT LECTURE
Reading from his own works, Nicholas Vachel Lindsay, one of the eminent American poets of the present time entertained 300 people for two hours yesterday afternoon at the Unitarian church. His first number, was "The Congo" which he described as a "negro grand opera" in three acts. This poem is quite unlike anything else produced in this country, and created a sensation when it was published.
Mr. Lindsay read several selections from his "Gospel of Beauty" and told his adventures while preaching this gospel. Two of these poems, "Harvesting" and "On the Santa Fe Trail" were about his experiences while tramping through Kansas two years ago, and were peculiarly interesting to the audience on that account.
After an internmission, during which Philip Stevens played two organ solos, Mr. Lindsay gave two of his best known poems, "Abrham Lincoln Walking at Night," and "When General Booth Enters Heaven." The voluntary collection, which is to be divided between the Oread Magazine and the White Cross fund, amounted to $12.70.
NEBRASKA LIKED MUSIC
THAT KANSAS DEALT OUT
From the Lincoln Daily Star, Lincoln, Nebraska. Nov, 14:
A band of forty-two pieces that would do credit to a music master, this morning marched down South Eleventh street and, forming a circle, serenaded the members of the editorial business. "He said," he said. "The deep blue 'K' on the crimson armbands proclaimed the musicians as students of the University of Kansas. The aggregation of musicians is unquestionably one of the best in any university. Its members perfectly drilled two knives except when faced and formed into diamonds, circles, or solid formations in a manner that would do credit to a crack military company. The circle completed, a concert of popular alps, southern melodies, and a finale of the strains of "U-U-U-N*P" brought a storm of excitement and from the scores of pedestrians and motorists who had assembled during the concert.
The musicians played the parts of clean sportaen. Accompanying their football eleven to the Nebraska territory in the hope of s show a Jayhawker victory, they rued the college song of their o on showed their respect for the Co. counslowers, and with the ev artificia of the n ost armbands mora on display of their preference t for a Kansas state at a Jayhawl' h was a cultibar to Lincoln' c to Covein and to the Co. culture, school that the states he c school that the Unisidy Daily

ALL LAWRENCE PROFITS BY KANSAS BULLETINS
Students in Chapel, Sororities, Fraternities, Restaurants, Inns-All Get the Service
A chapel full of students, the sororities of the University, the majority of the fraternities, the restaurants and inns of the city, the news and sporting stations of the city, and the Student Union profited by the Daily Kansan bulletin in the chapel Saturday afternoon.
The Kansan had a direct wire from Lincoln field to the chapel platform. As the bulletins came in they were called off to the students in the room, then placed on the boards, the ball moved on the dummy field and copies of the bulletins were placed on the walls. The men at the phones spent the entire time of the game calling the afore named establishments and giving returns.
The students in chapel cheered and moaned as the bulletins were called off. When Kwasa was hard pressed a "Rock Chalk," or a "Hold That Line" started spontaneously. Between halves, when the game looked bad, the students stood and sang, "Crimson and Blue," after which Chancellor Strong, on request, led in "Chrock Chalk."
During the fourth quarter, when it was evident that the game was lost, the Chancellor stood and announced that he was going to send a telegram to Lincoln saying, "in lieu of the 'he defeat weaken,' in evidence of the 'defeat weaken,' said, 'Do you students want in on it?' Did they? You should have heard them.
When the bulletin game in telling of the end of the game and the score Dutch Wedell took the platform and called to the students to meet the team at the train. Dutch Wedell met the team, the team, the students left to go to the Union Pacific station at 8 o'clock the next morning.
Husking Corn
Manager Hamilton, "It is the best football team I ever saw."
Referee Grover, "I never saw Nebraska play better football. They have a wonderful team."
Captain Detwiler, "We were clearly outclassed. The Nebraska back field was too much for us."
Coach Wheaton, "I have seen some great teams in the East but I have never seen as great a team as Nebraska's."
All Ready for the Tiger The Jayhawkers escaped the slaughter uninjured and will start this afternoon to prepare for the twisting of the Tiger tail.
Chamberlain the Hero
Chamberlain the H60
Chamberlain was the hero of the day. He is a champion and will be with him two more years.
Chamberlain promises to show more football than Halligan, Nebraska's great tackle.
Huskers Produce Stolen Jayhawk
The Cornhusker rooters brought forth the old Jayhawk which they swiped after the Kansas-Nebraska game with it. They took delight in rubbing it in on the Kansas rooters and even sent a quartet to sing their "You, You, you, and I."
Inspired by Prof. Merle Thorpe, Jor Benwick and a half dozen rooters, bought a gummy sack full of cobs and tied them with red ribbons. The Kansas rooters wore the cobs their owners gave them the game over and Nebuska's corn remained unhunked, the cobs disappeared.
GRAHAM TAYLOR TO TALK AT THIRD CONVOCATION
The freshmen who were on the trip became prejudiced against N. U. almost as soon as they landed. At the Cornhusker school the yearlings not only wear green caps but they wear them the entire school year. In the winter the stocking cap is substituted for the small skull cap.
Chicago Philanthropist Will Address Students in Chapel Friday Afterschool
Graham Taylor, president of the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy, will address students at 1:0'clock Friday afternoon in the chapel. He has announced "Social Progress Under Shadows of the War," as his subject. It will be the third convoction of this semester.
Mr. Taylor is Resident Warden of the Chicago Common Settlement and is said to have a broad knowledge of the effect of the European war upon the poor in Chicago, and also in other cities. He has been an active philanthropist for several years and will tell of his experiences as such.
GIVE PENNIES TO BELGIANS
Children of Professor Let Savings Go to White Cross Fund
Big men have stood up in public and said that we could not realize or appreciate the awful conditions Europe has to may say that the country do not?
A University professor, the father of three children, took home a White Cross petition several evenings ago. On his book table, explained what it was for.
"Let's go without birthday or Christmas presents and give the money to the Belgians," said the three youngsters. But later in the evening the two older children said, "Father, we have decided to give the money we have in our banks, also." This statement dismayed the young-gest, for he said, "I can't give all my money."
Nothing more was said about the matter, but the next morning just before the professor was starting for the Hill, the littlest one held up a snubby flat, and said, "Appear, here's my fifty-one cents."
One hundred and sixty-five barrels of flour were pledged to the White Cross by the congregation of the Plymouth Congregational church yesterday morning.
A University instructor and wife, who desire to aid the White Cross fund, have offered to give to the Belgians the entire income until November until June if they can find two acceptable young ladies to change room places.
The room is well located in the student district. Anyone wishing to take up the room should call Bell 569. The instructor and wife do not wish to gain publicity so ask that their names be withheld.
TO MAKE LAST SELECTION FOR SENIOR PLAY CAS'
The parts of the senior play cast which have not as yet been assigned are those of "Professor Goodwillie," the male lead, "Dr. Cosnes," a male heavy, "Dr. Yellooelwaves," a character part, and the "Footman." Another tryout will be held this afternoon in Green Hall, and final selections made for these characters. Four men are being considered and the problem is merely one of placing them to the best advantage.
FEW KANSAS MEN MARRED BY MISPLACED EYBROWS
Thanks to the preaching of James Montgomery Flagg, Kansas men are comparatively conservative in the matter of hirsute decorations—or disfigurements. Here only the senior laws indulge, and they usually permit until the spring term, because spring is an excuse for almost anything.
At Chicago University, every man in the senior class is working night and day to raise a respectable looking mustache—if there is such a thing—before the first of December. The reward for this noble work has not yet been paid, but doubtless proportionate to the effort and the value of the result. The winner's name will be published in these columns, so that senior laws may get first hand information on the culture of whiskers.

JAYHAWKER CRUSHED BY STEIHM ROLLER
Kansas Goes Down to Defeat Before Nebraska Machine
Jumbo Steinhm's big Cornhuskers won their fourth straight Missouri Valley championship Saturday afternoon when they crushed the Kansas Jayhawk, 35 to 0. It was the worst defeat a Kansas eleven ever suffered and the first time a Jayhawk eleven was so completely outplayed.
Kansas did not have a chance to win. Never before had a Jayhawker team been so clearly outclassed in every phase of the game. The Nebraska backfield-Potter, Chamberlain, Rutherford and Delaware pitcher were defended forcefully and paper and the Cornhushner line did not budge before the Jayhawker attack. Nebraska scored five touchdowns and kicked five goals. Kansas failed to make first downs except when penalties were called.
Nebraska never played better football. Referee Gerver says so, Coach Steimall admits it and every member of the Jayhawker team is convinced of the fact. It was a marvelous attack, of long end runs, long forward passes and fake tackle swings. Kansas suffered no disgrace by the defeat. Det Wilter's teammates fought every minute but they were hopelessly outclassed and the way the Steim roller was moving, Kansans can be thankful the score was not larger.
A Crowd of Six Thousand
Wheaton Attack Failed
Six thousand people saw the Jayahawk flutter and fall. The big Lincoln stadium was almost filled and had the weather been clear instead of cold and drizzling, the attendance would have reached eight thousand. Nebraska rooters filled the grandstand, and bleachers flashing the Crimson and White cheered the charging Huskers. It was Howcoming Day and Lincoln was crowded with grateful fans who had come from Nebraska battle with her old foe, the Jayhawk. Three hundred Kansas rooters occupied the south bleacher and made all the noise they could but they were drowned by the Nebraskans who scented victory before the game and went on a rampage as soon as their team appeared.
The figures and facts of the contest are uninteresting because they are too one-sided. Wheaton opened up a new attack with fake shifts embracing a peculiar center play and forward passes. But the showing was pitiful beside the Cornhusher advance. Kansas was on the defence most of the time, fighting against the big, speedy Nebraska backfield which has no equal in the West.
The First Half
In the first quarter Kansas missed a place kick and after several punts, Nebraska started its march. A long run by Chamberlain put them in striking distance and on the next play he went over for a touchdown. Halligan kicked goal. Kansas fought harder in the second quarter and penalties helped but the steady work of Chamberlain, Rutherford and Halligan brought the ball close again and Chamberlain made his second touchdown. Halligan kicked goal.
The Last Half
Kansas did its best work in the third quarter, holding the Huskers in mid-field and gaining considerable ground by Strother's consistent punting. In the second half, Hawk was widened and Nebraska piled up the score. Forward passes sent Nebraska to the one yard line and Rutherford crossed for the third touchdown, Halligan kicking goal. Chamberlin made his return from a shorthair limp and its fourth after a 58 yard limn. Halligan kicked both goals.
