Chancellor Strong, Geo. O. Foster and Prof. U. G. Mitchell Assist Students and Alumni
The K. U. County Clubs made old Rock Calk ring all over Kansas during the Christmas vacation with their banquets, receptions and reunions for old grads, present students and high school seniors.
A short address of welcome by Russell Gear, president of the club, was responded to by D. J. Sheedy, of Fredonia, an alumni; then students and guests seated themselves at the tables seated by the Methodist ladies. Red Pointsettets in dark blue pots decorated the tables.
**Wisconsin County Leaders**
On New Year's Eve, the students and alumnae of the University and forty seniors from the Fredonia and Needsah high schools, attended the first annual banquet of the Wilson County Club of the University of Kansas, which was given in the dimly lit of the Methodist church at Fredonia.
After the banquet toastmaster Gear introduced M. P. C. Young, of Fredonia, who spoke on "The Good Old Days." William Preston, a freshman in the College gave a brief recital of his first impressions of K. U. and related a few of the things that happened to him the first week, Pat Patterson, the pride of K. U. on the cinder path last year, is teaching in high school on the subject, "Are the Four Years of College-Worth While." The last speech was by Prof. U. G. Mitchell of the department of mathematics, on "The Spirit at the University of Kansas."
Plans for a big dinner and basket ball game are talked of for next year, and students there will diversity. They think there will be a hundred and fifty present.
Mitchell County
Mitchell County," the home of football captains, held its first K. U. banquet at Beloit on the evening of January 1. One former captain responded to a toast and three others were present. In all seventy students, alumni, and high school students were there. A memorial and Brummage, the football men, in reviving K. U. "pep" in Mitchell county.
Following an informal reception in the hotel parlors the guests were ushered into the dining room where a five course banquet was served from an immense "K" table, decorated in the Crimson and the Blue. During the reception U.S. students of their college yells and songs to which the high school students responded with their favorite war whoops.
Miss Lacy Barger, president of the Mitchell County K. U. Club was tastmaster of the evening. Responses were many; the senior students of the senior classes of the high schools. Captain Bert Pooler, '06, one of the best known K. U. football captains and one of Kennedy's old stars, related many interesting stories of his ex-husband, Varsity eleven in '05, '06, and '06.
Mitchell County boasts of four football captains almost in succession, namely; Hicks,'04; Brummage,'05; Pooler,'06, and Rouse,'08 all of Beloit with over thirty alumni, many former students and at present twenty students in the University, who are already beginning to lay plans for next year's holiday celebration.
One of the features of the celebration was the basketball serial played off between the high schools of the county and a K. U. team vs. Glen Elder high school during the afternoon resulting in a victory for the county, the team, and the proclaimed championship for that part of the state awarded to the Cawker City high school team, coached by Geo. E. Tucker, a former athletic star at the University. Mr. Tucker expects to bring his team to Lawrence to try for the State championship at the next tournament. The Beloit high school girls team will compete in the state championship among the girls' teams and will probably represent the county at Lawrence next spring.
Miss Helen Topping of Japan will speak at the regular meeting of the W. Y. C. A. in Myers Hall at 4:30 to tomorrow afternoon.
K. U. GLEE CLUB SINGS THROUGH THE SOUTH
Will End Two Week Trip Saturday With Emporia Concert
OFFERINGS WELL RECEIVED
Oklahomans and Kansans Pleased to Learn Why the Ocean Hangs Around So Near the Shore
The K. U. Glee Club has completed the first week's engagements in Southern Kansas and Oklahoma and has started on the return trip to Lawrence. The musicians will wind up their trip in Emporia Saturday night and will return to Lawrence Sunday morning.
"The Glee Club has had a first rate reception and has been well entertained. The trip is a big success," said Prof. C. E. Hubach, who accompanied the musicians to Southern Kansas. Professor Hubach returned to Lawrence Thursday.
Eighteen men are making the trip under the management of Clarence Sowers. The club left Lawrence December 26 and the trip includes engagements in the following cities: Pittsburg, Chanute, Independence, Parsons, Coffeeville, Tulsa, Bartlesville, Hutchinson, Wichita, Arkansas City, Newton, and Emporia.
BERT KENNEDY SIGNS HASKELL CONTRACT
Ends Football Controversy by Closing Three-Year Agreement
Much to the disappointment of his supporters who advanced him as a candidate to displace Arthur Mosse as head coach of the 1914 Varsity Jayhawkers, Dr. Bert Kennedy signed a three year contract Christmas week to take charge of all athletes at Haskell Institute.
The fact that the mentor signed up with the Rekkins so soon after the expiration of the 1913 football season, makes it seem probable that he will play back in the lengthy plans by which he should succeed Coach Mosse. Many of the enemies of the coaching question dispute advanced this opinion all along, and it now seems that the Kennedy boom was raised by a few personal enemies to Arthur, not by the Indian coach himself.
The Lawrence dentist will take up his work at the Institute with best prospects for a successful 1914 season. The Redskins have already scheduled games with some of the most formidable teams West for next fall, and the Lawrence followers of the Government eleven, will have a chance to compare their team directly with the members of the Eastern Big 4. Notre Dame, the Indiana Catholic school meets the State football team only rarely later takes on Kennedy's charges.
The Redskins will also probably meet Benny Owen's Oklahoma Sooners in Kansas City. Thanksgiving may also stage battle with the Texas Longhorns and the Christian Brothers College of St. Louis. So important a schedule has never been drawn up by the Indian school.
Professor Allen will collect samples from the different cities and analyze them in the University laboratories. The investigation was made because of numerous complaints of poor gas coming from that part of Kansas.
An investigation of the natural gas supplied to Arkansas City, Wichita, Wellington, Udall, and other towns in that section of the state, will be made by Prof. H. C. Allen of the chemistry department at the request of the State Board of Public Utilities.

POOR ENGLISH BARD--
KEMP 'ITS 'IM 'ART
"Our" Harry Quarrels With Berton Braley Over Kipling's Works
When England imprisoned Harry Kemp, the long haired K. U. poet, upon his arrival in that country as a stowaway, it brought down the house of Lord Balfour upon the head of England's favorite poet Ruddy Kipling. Kemp lam-
HARRY KEMP
To Kipling:
basted Kipling and in turn was swoted by Berton Brailey. Kemp
Vile singer of the bloody deeds of
entire.
And of the bravery that exploits the poor.
Exalter of subservience to masters,
Bard of the race that bound and
bear.
We note your metaphors that shine and glisten
But, underneath your sounding verse, we see
he exploitation and the wide corruption
The lying and the vice and misery.
Your people lay, upon the backs of
The bullet and the prison and the rod,
Wherewith ye scourge the races that subserve you
And then blaspheme by blaming it on God.
To which Braley replied:
To which Bratey replied:
To Harry Kemp:
Emitter of unnecessary noises,
Blowing a penny whistle loud and long
Trying to drown the blaring of the trumpet
With piny footings or with rufic
song.
We hear your notes of thin an strident clamor
We see you whirl in wild and Dervish glee.
Shrilling at Kipling—and we loo upon you
Saying in wonder, "Ooyinellshe?" Not always, does the woman say.
Not always does the master sing,
his nobest;
Catharina does not.
Sometimes he carols in a dream style
But who are you? You cheap and tawdr bardlet.
To hint him servile or to call his vile?
