VARSITY TRIES OUT PLAYS ON FRESHMEN
Wheaton and Bond Send Men Against Tyros in Practice
The Jayhawker squad put its plays in practice against the Freshmen on McCook field last night after a long signal drill. The shift plays were successful enabling the backs to make steady progress.
When the Freshmen took the ball, they gave the Kansas defence a severe test. The line was not lacking but it showed need of improvement and Coach Wheaton probably will remedy the defects this afternoon.
After supper, Wheaton and Bond climbed the Hill with the players and went through an hour's drill in Robinson veymarium.
The coaches are keeping the gates of McCook field closed and carefully guarding their new formations. Wheaton and Bond are both posted on Nebraska's style of play, having seen the Huskers in action against Morningstar last week in formations in the Freshman will help the Jayhawks repulse the rides of Halligan, Rutherford, Potter and other Nebraska stars.

"SEATS NEAR FIFTEEN YARD LINE ARE BEEST," HAMILTON
"Why all of the critical plays of a game occur near the ten and fifteen yard lines," said Mr. Hamilton this morning, "As a result personons on the end of the field always see the scoring. And even if scoring occurs at the opposite end of the field one has as good a view of what is going on as the people in the fifty yard line seats.
Because they can't get seats on the fifty yard line, many students believe no good seats are let in. A mistake Manager W. O. Hamilton thinks.

PROFS SEEM REAL HUMAN
AT PI UPSILON JOY FEST
Quizzes and Grade Books Discarded
In Favor of Muscle and Socia-
Professors Boynton and Dykstra in a vocal duel! Can you imagine it? That's what greeted the ears of passerbys at the Pi Upsilon house last night when twenty-four men of the University faculty were entertained informally with a mixer. From 7:30 until 10:30 o'clock they talked—everyone of them, and everyone seemed to have a good time.
Profs from the College, profs from the Engineering, Law and Fine Arts Schools—all were there; there was no distinction, and from the time they came to work they learnt a propt that his job was to dispense flunks, and each called the other "Mister" and "milled around with the boys."
During the evening, W. B. Downing of the department of voice, sang several songs, and his "Oh Lucky Jim"—the wall of a married man—brought loud applause. Swede Wilson was there, and, accompanied by Eric Owen on the piano, Swede's 'sanio kept things rolling.
Everybody contributed to the mutilation of the prize number of the University glee club, the K. U. medley, Crimson and the Blue, and Boola, and then each cash picked out a hat and went home.
Here are the dissipators: Professors Dykstra, Hodder, Davis, Boynton, Hill, Harrington, Flint, Cady, A T. Walker, P. F. Walker, Wheeler, Mills, Valgren, Downing, Goldsmith, Twnhoelfo, Osborn, Green, Humble, H. A. Rice, Lorenz, Bruckmiller and Faragher.
