RODKEY SETS UP A NEW VALLEY RECORD
Kansas Man Makes Cross- Country Time in Ames Meet
The Kansas cross country team will be entered at the Western Conference cross country championships at Purdue, if the entry will be accepted at this late date.
Manager W. O. Hamilton said "I shall telegraph to Chicago at once and see if our entry will be accepted. At Ames, Rodkey did what I expected of the kid does not know how fast he can run. The team did better than I expected."
Wearing the K for the first time in Conference competition, Fred Rodkey set up a new Valley record of 28-00-2 for the five mile cross country grind at the Ames meet Sat January 6, easily defeating Mankstad the Amherst finished second, by a good 25 yards. The Kansas team took second place in the meet with 46 points, the following men figuring in the score: Rodkey first, Gray sixth, Edwards twelfth, Howland thirteenth and Mankstad thirteenth. Young, the sixth Kansas outfit also completed the course.
Captain Edwards said "The team fought hard and surriSED the people. I hope we Western Conference."
The showing of the Kansas team was a surprise to followers of the game as the team had but one veteran with conference experience, Jared Cox left out entirely in the list of probable winners. Five of the men who ran for Kansas had never been in a conference cross country race before, though three of the six were wearers of the K. Ames, as was William Carroll, who they entered a well balanced team. Second, third, fourth, fifth and seventh places went to the Iowa Argies, giving them the low score of 21. Missouri was third with 68 points and Nebraska fourth with 96. The only difference was the required number of men and consequently did not figure in the score.
Earle Crabb, who has been coaching the men said: "The men woke up and found what they could do. Next week they went over a better with the experience and gained from this meet. At the Western Conference Rodkey would fight for first place with Watson of Minnesota and, I think, should win. The team will play up. The men deserve the chance. They are all fighters."
The mixer was held at Prof. E. F. Engle's cabin, three miles up the river. A camp-fire breakfast was cooked in the cabin, after which the women held a "rally" and "pep" meeting. Miss Sylvia Adams, Miss Evangeline Downey, and twenty-five women took the hike. A big general party for JUNIOR women, to be given early in December, is the next "get acquainted" meeting planned by the juniors.
That the junior class should have a group picture in this year's annual, was the decision of the junior women at the junior women's mixer Saturday morning. That the junior class as the coming seniors are quite as important as the clubs and so on, was to get the opinion of the women. It was decided to put the matter before the men of the junior class.
All women students are invited to attend the first tea given by the University Women's Association Thursday afternoon from 3 to 5:30 o'clock in Haworth Hall. The University Women's Association is composed of all women members of the faculty and the wives of the instructors.
Rodkey, the man who won the race, is a sophomore in the College. He first took up running at Irving and now plays golf county mile县 county record. Rodkey also won the 880 at one of the state meets. He attributes his endurance to the fact that he often ran between his home and the high school, a district where he live miles before school in the morning and again after school.
JUNIORS HAVE FACES
IN 1915 JAYHAWKERS
Just as We Predicted
FACULTY MAN REALLY LIKABLE, SAY STUDES
Professors Can Actually be Ap proached, Thinks the Average Fraternity Man
The men of the faculty are not nearly as hard to get acquainted with as the average student thinks—at least that is what the fraternities of the University believe—and they prove it to their freshmen by giving a series of student-faculty mixers during the winter.
Pi Upson will begin the actual testing of the plan when they entertain the men of the faculty Wednesday night. This fraternity will hold an informal gathering where the men will have an opportunity to meet their instructors in a different sphere from that of the classroom.
Send the Daily Kansan home
Several other of the fraternities, one general organization, and at least one class are planning similar affairs on the theory that lack of cooperation and misunderstanding between the student body and the faculty is a cause for much of the fraternity's problems. The present movement toward getting acquainted will do much to overcome this condition.
WANT TO BE A GREEK?
ORGANIZE OWN FRAT
"If you have that insatiable desire to belong to a Greek letter society get busy and organize your own fraternity," was the advice given last night by the Rev. Noble Strong Elderin, of the Plymouth Congregational church in his annual charity fundraiser, his sermon was addressed to non-Greeks. Mr. Elderkin spoke last year to the members of fraternities.
For a student body about half as large as the present freshman class Amherst has sixteen fraternities, nearly all national. As a result ninety-five per cent of the student body are Greeks and there are no hard feelings or no fraternity problems.
Mr. Elderkin told of the two ways in which he had seen the so called Greek letter society problem solved. One was by the absolute abolition of the societies as was done at Mount Holyoke. The other solution was the way Amherst handled the situation.
DRAMATIC ART COURSE
PLANNED BY MACMURRAY
Two new courses in dramatic art are planned for next year by Prof. Arthur MacMurray, head of the department of public speaking. They embrace the study of the play, stage department, and interpretation
"My ambition is to put in a course that will equal any course of a similar nature in the country. I could start the work now, but I think it is best to establish interpretive work firmly first." The course will be given in two semesters, one following the other.
RELIGION DEPENDENT
ON CLEAN PERSONALIT
Yesterday
Dr. Exner Emphasizes Right Living in Y. M. C. A. Address Yesterday
"The deep realities of rehygraph me can never be experienced by the man whose personal life is unclean," declared Dr. M. J. Exner in his address to Mr. and Mrs. Myers Hall yesterday at 4:30 o'clock and "Sex and the Religious Life."
Doctor Exner preached the doctrine that a man's personal life must be clean if he would be truly sincere in his religious professions. He said that many people with religious feelings were impossible to the man whose sex life was unclean.
Doctor Exner will speak in Fraser Hall this attermost at 4:30 o'clock on the subject, "The Young Man's Sex School." The doctor requires all his hygiene class to attend the lecture instead of the regular class. The doctor will speak again later in bright light at National First For Mastery in the Sphere of Sex."
During his stay here Doctor Exner is doing personal work with such men as wish to meet him privately.
Dr. Exner is International Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. for the Study of Sex Hygiene and has been doing America and in China along this line.
"Yesterday, for an hour, the coaches and the squad held a secret practice session, during which the varsity was instructed in the intricacies of several new plays, to be used against the beefy Jayhawkers, number 1129, during which the gates were thrown open to the public.
STEIHM SENDS HUSKIES
AGAINST K. U. FORMATION
The program for the rest of the afternoon was a spirited scrimmage between the scrubs and the freshmen used the forward pass repeatedly. The defensive linemen Hoeffel saw them in the Kansas-Oklahoma game, last Saturday. Contrary to expectations, the Freshman nused the forward pass repeatedly, sandwiching with wide end runs, and off-table plays. Straight thuds were hurt only when the goal was in sight—Daily Nesnekan.
All Trying Out For Play
SUSPENDS STUDENTS UNTIL NOVEMBER 30
Two tryouts for the senior play were held last week, and twenty people selected as candidates for the twelve characters in the play. A third tryout is set for this afternoon, and a fourth for this evening. Prof. Arthur MacMurray who has charge of the play hopes to select at least ten players to participate. Acording to present plans, the play will be presented some time in February. Several weeks' rehearsal will be required.
Eloise Stevenson, a sophomore in the College, was the guest of Miss Margaret Pettijohn, in Topeka, for the Washburn game.
Chancellor Strong Telegraphs Action on Council's Recommendations
Following a recommendation of the Men's Student Council, Chancellor Frank Strong has suspended Harold Delongy, Ralph Sproull, and Robert Lindsay, for taking part in the rally of October 23. The Chancellor fixed the time of suspension at three weeks, to be effective today, and to end November 30, providing the students absent themselves from class, and do not participate in University activities.
The Chancellor telegraphed from Pritchard New York to a plebiscite educational meeting.
DeLongy, whose home is in Mena, Arkansas, is captain of the 1915 baseball team. Sproull is a basketball "K" man of prominence. His achievements include from Kansas City, Kansas. All three are enrolled in the School of Law.
The sentence follows two weeks of controversy. After the rally on October 23, the Council decided to punish the chief offenders, and set a date for faculty members to appear before the committee that was the faculty would not do. After several meetings, and considerable debate, the Council decided to recommend suspension, leaving the time open to the faculty authorities.
K. U. SONGSTERS WILL BE IN SHAPE FOR RALLY
Prof. W. B. Downing Says Glee
Clubs of Kansas Will Give O. K.
Service
W. B. Downing, head of the department of voice, said today that the glee club would be in good shape for the Missouri-Kansas pep meeting, Friday, November 20. The Missouri club has just returned from a trip to the Pacific coast and probably has some good stunts stored up to be brought forth at the pep meeting. The Kansas singers will make special efforts to prepare a good program.
"We have been practicing every Tuesday and Thursday nights and although not especially for the pep meeting, when a program has been made we can be able to get ready with quicker," Professor Downing said.
The two glee clubs will take the most prominent part in the meeting with their songs and upon them depends largely the success of the meeting. Missouri, will be up to standard and the Kansas club will show up well, according to Professor Downing.

WASHBURN TRIES HARD TO BEAT JAYHAWKERS
Regulars Win Game for Kansas After Subs Wear Out Ichabods
Big Crowd Saw Game
Kansas occupied the Washburn theater of football for an hour Saturday and after the substitutes had worn out the Ichabods, the regulars went in and won the game, 20 to 14. A team of substitutes battled bravely against the enemy for almost three quarters holding them to a touchdown and threatening their goal several times. In the third quarter when it became plain the subs could not withstand the Blue attack, Captain Detwiler, who was guarding of the Kansas squad, siggled for his regiments to crawl from under their blankets and sniffrimage. One by one the Varsity men trotted into the battle and brought with them spirit enough to make three touchdowns and win the game.
It was Washburn's big game.
Four thousand people packed the rickety bleachers or saw the game from automobiles. On one side was the Washburn crowd, displaying the white, white, while the four hundred Kansas State teams directly across the griddle.
Both schools had bands on the field.
Washburn's First Touchdown
The first quarter was secreals. The substitutes played the Ichabods to a draw while Strothers and Trobert had a punting contest. In the second quarter the crowd had its ball to the Blue's seven-yard line but clubhands failed to cross the trophy and Trobert punted to safety. Strothers' poor punt gave Washburn the ball in mid-field and backback Beards directed a fullride of passes and end runs which ended when Dick Whitcomb went across for a touchdown. Trobert kicked goal.
The subs braced again and held their opponents for the rest of the period but they showed signs of weakening near the end of the quarter. The third quarter dragged painfully for the Kansas rooters who saw little chance for a victory unless the Varsity men went in.
Regulars Turn Tide
After Washburn had made several brilliant passes, the Captain Detwiler hawkers stood up and cheered increased their noise when Reber, Groft, Burton, Coolidge and Wood relieved the weary subs. When Wood took the wheel, the Kansas machine began to move. Down the hill, the team making the amazed Ichabods off the Gray made the first touchdown and Strothers missed goal. Kansas got the ball a few minutes later and started another march to the goal line. Gray and Wood made long arms, breaking through for the second touchdown. Strothers kicked goal.
Gray's Fifty Yard Run
With victory assured, Kansas slackened its speed but Gray was ambitious to repeat his performance in the Oklahoma game and guarded by the wedge of interference, ran fifty-seven outscored by thearskers kicked goal. With Kansas leading 20 to 7, Washburn fought to overcome the advantage but their passing was useless. We weak punting sent Kansas near its own line and when Strothers dropped back toick, Barrett blocked the punt and the ball for a touchdown. Trobert kicked goal. Kansas 20, Washburn 14.
