URGES UNIFORM RULES TO GOVERN ATHLETICS
Chancellor Advocates Central Board In Each Conference To Settle Disputes
Special to the Daily Kansan.
Special to the Daily Kansan.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 11.
Chancellor Frank Strong of the University of Kansas, among the launching the Network of State Universities yesterday on "Control and Management of Athletics" advocated uniformity of interpretation of athletic rules. He suggested that it might be possible to have in each conference a central board of interpretation with final authority to call all tests of eligibility might be submitted.
"The great diversity of practice in regard to control of athletics and the close relations that institutions have to each other make it very desirable that some uniformity of approach be achieved, my opinion decrease the friction often occasioned by the necessary administrative oversight of athletics and conduce to general good-feeling if all univertices that have interconnections should operate their athletics on substantially the same basis."
Dr. Strong said that while it was true that the real control of athletics at Kansas was in the hands of the Board of Administration and the faculty, it was also true that it is operated with the most careful consideration of student interests and reasonable student desires.
"Athletics is exceedingly important in the life of an institution," said the Chancellor in conclusion, "and I am extremely proud of our spirit and discipline. A wrong spirit in athletics will permeate a whole institution, lower its morale defective and fill the whole institutiorum." This is extremely difficult to eradicate.
"The surest way to avoid the abolition of intercollegiate athletics or to avoid the excesses with it is to correlate it with the other departments of college management, control and management. For it seems to me unwise and dangerous that such an important factor in University discipline should in any way be outside of the same authority and knowledge of all other parts of our University life."
MUCH FUN AND FOOD TO
FEATURE FRESHMAN SMOKER
Speches, a quartet, solos, a play by the Sphinx club entitled "A Ragtime Boxing Match," monologues, and eats guaranteed to produce the gout, will feature the freshman smoker Thursday, according to Boyd Marquis, chairman of the social committee.
A variation from the usual chapel program was made this morning by substituting an entire musical program. This is the second time this has been done and it proved popular with the students.
Tickets to the smoker cost 25 cents. To buy tickets, contact the members of the Sphinx club.

O RATTAN AND CORN-SILK DAYS!
MEMORIES AT FRESHMAN SMOKER THURSDAY
RECORD TICKET SALE MARKS OPENING DAY
Student: Crowd Into Gyn For Nebraska Seats; Demand is Great
The advance ticket sale for the Nebraska game has already gone far beyond the fondest hopes of Manager W. O. Hamilton and from present appearances the crowd which witnesses the big game with the Cornhuskers Saturday will be the largest seen on McCook field this year. Without doubt the attendance which will crowd the stands Saturday will rival that of the Missouri game last year in size.
Hamilton's office was opened for the first time yesterday morning to the ticket-seekers and a trifle more than $2100 was taken in before 6 o'clock in the evening, when the limit in its efforts to provide for the wishes of the flock of students which lined up in the gym early in the morning Hamilton and Albert Randolph, his assistant, were kept at the ticket desk, and outside help to be sought to take care of the routine business.
One thousand dollars' worth of seats have been sold at Lincoln and the Cornhusker students are demanding more. The exact amount is uncertaintely attained from the receipts of the sale, as many have Student Enterprise Admission and the amount which they have to pay is smaller correspondly. It is estimated that 3,000ROOTS have been sold to Lincoln's men down from Linehuk.
Kansas City has taken care of $700 worth of seats and Topeka $500 more. The tickets were placed on sale in the Missouri city yesterday morning in the stores of Gordon & Koppel, Lowe & Campbell and A. G. Spalding, and by noon the reserve supply was exhausted and demands were being made on the K. U. athletic management for more.
McCook field can accommodate approximately 13,000 people. This includes standing room of 2,000. There are seats for exactly 11,100 rooters, and all but 900 of these were filled at the Missouri game.
The dove of peace was turned loose at the meeting of the University Debating Club last night. The nations of the would should reduce their armament sufficient only for police duty, the society decided. E. M. Johnson and G. B. Shomber supported the affirmative, and B. L. Blaisdell, A. V. Durbon, and W. O. Hake the negative.

KAW POTATOES STAR
IN DEUTSCHER SHOW
Spuds Presents Classic Drama Of Faust A La Punch And Judy
Dramatic Personae
Manche Kleinen Teuffelen
Helen von Troy
"Erhalten sie sich! Ich glaube das sie six in ihren Kopfe haben jetzt"
"Vas sagen sie? Sie Spitzobochen, ich will ihrem head smashen mit meinen火. Ich been ein honorable man."
Ja so went it at the reproduction of Dr. Faust yesterday by the Deutsche Verein. What mattered it if the heads of the Dramatis Personae were whitttled from Kaw Valley potatoes? What mattered it if the stage was only four feet across, and the actors entered by come up through the floor in their way? Dr. Faust swapped his soul to the devil for twenty years of power and magical influence just the same.
Der Teufel deserves special mention. Not only was his interpretation of the lines technically high class, but his make up was especially good. His potato head was shapely, his "eyes" expressive, (get this) and in his red "jacket" he ap "pealed" to the audience as he "spud"dered defiance at the other dramatic personae.
The play covered the period when Bathory in possession of this magical power.
One of the most remarkable things was the ease with which the characters spoke the German tongue. It was wonderful because of the fact that they were all made out of Irish potatoes.
Edmund Bechtold manipulated the characters because he had had considerable experience with the Burbank tuber on the farm, while Mattoon, Branine, Reese, Kline, and Engle made the talks.
The Philosophy club will meet this evening at the home of Prof. Edmond H. Hollans, 1536 Tennessee street at 130 Miss Alice Hall in the Conception of Religion' and Mr. Alvin Babb will give a review of periodical literature.

WALLOP CORNHUSKERS IN SIGNAL PRACTICE
Jayhawker Fight Imaginary Foes In Good Monday Workout
THREE STILL ON SICK LIST
Stuewe, Detwiler, and James on Side Lines But Hope Springs Eternal in Jayhawkers' Breasts
"Cameron's next!"
"Come on, fellows, snappy. Let's
eat Harrigan!"
Seven _yards_ were reeled off around right end.
Like a flash the Jayhawker eleven, running signals last night, hit left tackle for ten yards.
Cameron's next:
Ten yards through right tackle
piled the Kansans, and another first
down was scored.
it was getting dark. Only Leonard Frank's white sweater could be seen, and the Varsity was dog-tired. The usual time for closing practice had passed. But the coaches were not content. The ball stood ten yards from the goal line, the big crossbars rising high into the air two spans away. One plunge would push it over.
A Touchdown Through Ross
"Now, fellows, who are we going o get? Who are we going to push his touchdown through?" shouted he coach.
The Varsity considered. But 'rank beat them to it. "Make it loss, fellows," he yelled. The ball was passed, Wilson, with a savage nap, slammed it into Sommers, and he shifty half race through the eft guard for ten yards and the duchdown.
This was but a sample of the "pep" which characterized the Varsity play last night on McCook field. The whole team was working hard, showing little effect of the Washburn tame, and the coaches were well satisfied with the result of the night's workout.
The team as a whole emerged in good condition after a gruelling contest with Crip Gray's eleven. Stueve's shoulder is slightly injured, Detwiler's game leg still bothers him James had not yet recovered from his attack of bronchitis, but the team as a whole loked well.
Freshmen Taken On
After an hour of strenuous drill in drop-kicking, punting, signal practice, and defense work, Jay Bond's bunch of tyranny huskies were sent for and made to bear the brunt of the attack of the Varsity line for the event. After a few minutes the freshman offense immediately after the first kickoff the regulars took possession of the oval, and worked it in their opponents' territory for the rest of the evening. Two touchdowns were made but it was not touchdowns which the Jayhawker team did. The Jayhawker a whole showed pretty fair form for a "Blue Monday" workout, and Mosse and Frank were satisfied.
THIS IS OLD DUKE
HE GOES LONG WAYS
Duke Jerome is visiting at the Acacia house on his way from Chamailg, Illinois to Gallup, N. M. Duke is an old, battle-searched warrior, and the victorious hero of many a bloody battle. He is the pride of the Acacia fraternity in Champaign. The trip from Champaign to Gallup is too long to be made without a rest; accordingly the visit was aranged with the Kansas chapter of the Acacia faternity.
A tag on the crate in which Duke was shipped was address to the Express Messenger and read: “This is Duke; he is a good old dog and is goering down to the water his can and give him some of the feed attached to his crate.”
By the time Duke has reached his master H. H. Bartlett at the U. of. He has passed through seven states and traveled nearly two thousand miles.
