Prospects Bright for a Kansan Victory --- Expect to Keep Cup
The Nebraska Cornhuskers stand a good chance for a drubbing at the hands of the Jayhawker track squad and the Iowa Hawkeyes. McCook field tomorrow afternoon.
"Do you see that cup over there?" asked the coach as he pointed to a large silver cup on his desk. "That is the Kansas-Nebraska cup and we don't intend to let it get out of the gymnasium Friday."
The Jayhawk descended upon the Nebraskas last spring and beat them by a big score. A bear story from Lincoln says several members of the Nebraska squad will be ineligible for Friday's meet but Kansas supporters are looking for a strong team from the north.

BETTER SYSTEM NEXT YEAR
Lardner Says Organization Accounts Are in Mighty Poor Condition
Foster Says Uniform Accounting Blanks May be Furnished to All Student Treasures
James T. Lardner, general purchasing agent of the Board of Administration, came down from Manhattan to check the accounts of the University organizations. There are about sixty organizations, all carrying accounts and back back to Manhattan. The five took him all day. Wednesday.
This summary tells the condition of the books. Mr. Lardner said they were utterly disorganized and had no system whatever. He recommended that next year the University issue a book of blanks to each organization, so that all the accounts can be kept systematically. A system of blanks is now used by the Registrar (usually with Registrar Foster says that the University probably will adopt the plan next year.
All of the five accounts were of comparatively small organizations. The Y. W. C. A. was the largest, Mr. Lardner made no attempt to check the Athletic Association or other large accounts. He took some of the accounts back with him, and will return to finish the others.
When he came he was expecting to finish the entire work in one day, and he did not announce when he would be able to return.
TWO MORE ELIGIBILITY RULES
New Regulations Are Designed as a Check on The Playing of Outside Men.
The Hash House League Commission did not grant the protest of the Stevenson Club on its game with midway team at its meeting last night.
Stevenson protested on the grounds that Midway had more than 13 men at the club at the time of the game, and was therefore not entitled to outside players at the time the official list was prepared they had fewer than 13 men, and was entitled to outside players. There is no rule compelling a team to add to their official list any new men that come into possession of Commission citations that Midway acted entirely within the rules.
The Commission passed two new rules:
Any player or players, who shall be at the club 24 hours before the time of the game shall be eligible to play. The game shall be passed on by the Commission."
"Any club, having at the time of playing, 13 able-bodied men, shall not play any outside men without the manager of the opposing team."
"The idea of the two new rules is to prevent a team playing outside men when the club it represents has grown to 13 or more members," said John Gleisser, chairman of this league that had fewer than 13 men when the league was organized were allowed to draft outside men until 13 had been secured. The Commission does not think, however, that after a club has grown past the limit prescribed, it should be allowed to play inside. It can be easy for any manager to make new boards eligible, as a meeting of the Commission will be called when any manager wishes it."
