SAVE ROOMS FOR VISITING ALUMNI
Men's Council Will Canvass Student District This Week
A BIG CROWD IS SURE COMING
In order to get all the available rooms possible for the use of the alumni who are expected for the annual Kansas-Missouri football game here November 24 the members of the Student Council are planning for a thorough canvass of the student district. A committee will be appointed at the council meeting tomorrow night and will call on all students.
Students who can double up in rooms are urged to do so by the council. The merchants in town are co-operating with the students in their efforts to find rooms and make comfortable for the former students.
The city ticket office of the Union Pacific railroad has been obtained as a headquarter for the alumni and when they reach Lawrence they will register at the headquarters and get their rooms.
Merchants are Co-operating With Council—Coats Wants Every Student to Help Entertain.
"We are expecting a good number of alumni back," said President Coats this morning. "The county clubs are doing much to interest former students and the alumni association also is helping."
SPOKE OF COUNTY Y. M. WORK
Mr. Clyde Hafel old Says Problem is in Getting Competent Leaders.
Mr. Clyde Hatfield, county work secretary of the international committee of the Y. M. C. A., spoke at a special meeting of the University Y. M. C. A. Friday afternoon in Myers Hall.

PROF, BUSHONG CAUGHT
THE TRAIN BEFORE, BEHIND
Prof. F. W. Bushong has just returned from the teachers' meeting i nTopeka. It is surprising to find out what great intricacy there is in catching trains on time.
Professor Bushong says, "In order not to be left behind, I left before it was over. Got to the depot before the train which came in before the train which was behind which should have come in before, but couldn't because the train before was behind before it.
OFFICERS OF COUNTY CLUBS TO ORGANIZE
Meeting Will be Held Tues day Afternoon—Mill Tax to be Discussed
A definite organization of the officers of the different county clubs of the state will be effected at the meeting of the representatives of all the clubs Tuesday afternoon. This is the result of letters sent out by Chancellor Strong, asking that each one send a man to the meeting at which plans are to be discussed for obtaining a more concerted action on the matter of the university clubs. The question of the mill tax will also be taken up and they will try to find out how it may be best obtained for the University.
"At present there are about fifteen clubs in existence and it is our aim to have one for every county in the state," said Prof. L. N. Flint this afternoon. "With an organization like the National Association be much easier to get together and take more definite action on matters in which all are interested."

WE'LL GET YOU NEXT YEAR THE KANSAS ROOTERS HOPE
The Washburn rooter and the K. U. rooter sat in the reserved seats on the north side of the Washburn field Saturday with only the slender form of a Washburn girl between them to prevent violence. Their remarks passed from fierce sarcaem and repartee in moments of intensity to measured discussion and the loan of a match in calmer spells.
Washburn swept the ball down the field, the Washburni praying that the onward march should be kept up, his K. U. neighbor serenely confident that they could not carry the ball across the line.
So triumph and defeat, defeat and
triumph, alternated throughout,
the Farn.
**COMMENTS**
"There he is," howled the Washburn man, as a crimson player dived into an apparently impenetrable mass of blue. The K. U. fan was silent. "The K. U. fan was silent." "Where he is," he howled, as the ball measured for a gain of half a dozen yards.
The touchdown achieved, the Wash.
Secretary Stockwell of Y. M.
POSITIONS IN TURKEY FOR KANSAS MEN
Roy Stockwell, secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., has been called upon to help find two tutors to fill two very urgent three-year appointments in Turkey. One man is needed in St. Paul's Collegiate Institute, at Tarsus, a coast city in Asia Minor. About two hundred students are enrolled in the college and academy. Many of the graduates are engaged in the work of the Christian ministry, or as teachers in the Christian schools.
burn rooter was on his feet in a deelernium to joy too great for lungs or muscles to express. The K. U. man sat silent, with a half smile, half trown on his face.
Another man is required for the Bithynia high school, at Bardezag, about three hours' journey from Constantinople. More than four hundred students are enrolled. The majority are Armenians, although some are Greek and others Mohammedans. The school is officially recognized by the government as a secondary school.
"Huh, this game hasn't even started yet," he said.
Throughout the entire Turkish empire there is today a distressing dearth of properly trained pastors for the organized churches. This lack is especially felt where heavy loss was experienced three years ago at the time of the massacres. A new development of Turkey has turned the attention of the young men to secular callings and under the old regime many of the pastors and a large number of young men who were preparing for this high service, unable to endure the continued strain and fear of life in the country, left for America or Europe.
"This just suits me," was the Wash-
burn roots comment. "Here's hop-
ping."
C. A. Wants Tutors for Important Positions
The Board sending out the above men provides traveling expenses, living quarters, board, and an adequate port of unmarried man comfortably.
"No danger that it will," said the K. U. student.

Sophomore Medics Elect
But there was. So, as they sat close together, the Washburn man prayed that they should hold that Crismon line and scarcely dared hop* that his prayer would be granted; while the K. U. rooter sat in almost undiminished retention that last the team would open, but the first finish would take victory, from defeat.

"You win this win," said the K. U. nan, as he extended a hand to his late memy with a weak smile. "But we'll arege you next year."
NO MORE GREAT WARS
D CLARES DR. JORDAN
In Famous Address Stanford Man Shows Horrors of War to University Students
"There probably never will be another great war in Europe among civilized nations," declared David Starr Jordan in his lecture on "Pacey" Friday afternoon in Fraser hall. "The stage for the present in Turkish massacres was before we were born, and is merely the outcome of Turkish oppression."
He went on to show further how the present high cost of living was largely due to the great war debts and now amounts to $37,000,000,000.
DEFEATED
It is easy to grin when the teams on the win; it is easy to root 'till you drop, but the true test of merit of your Kansas spirit, is not shown when K. U. is on top. Our hopes now are on the toboggan, hospitals are crammed to the roof, our ears are assailed with the clamor, of hundreds of bum demopers' spoof. Now you of the big anil chorus, are you going to show up that streak; are you going to keep your howling and smashed the Big Game on the beak? If you're blue keep your sorrow and smash, and if you just have to tear loose, I advise that you curse at the breezelets, that tear at the skirts of our "beauts."
"The boundary between the United States and Canada is the best protected boundary in the world," beware oforts and no warships to protect it.
"Here in America," he said, "the cost of living has risen less than anywhere else, but we make more fuss about it.
President Jordan pointed out that the unseen empire of finance has so much power over the powers of the world that it is able to control their actions and help peace. The house of Rothchild is the head of this great empire.
He showed the gradual evolution from the olden times, when cannabalism was the outcome of war, and that later the practice of maining conquered people came into vogue. Afterwards they were made slaves.
"At one time the idea of a great king was that of a great warrior," said the speaker. "Bismark was the last of the great robbers. The time will come when warships and forts will be relics of the past."
During the inter-class series at Missouri, the wily juniors pulled the greatest play ever witnessed at Columbia. The seniors kicked off and on the first play the third year men flopped a forward pass to one of the players who was standing on the floor. Then the juniors scored a touchdown to the surprise of the spectators as well as the haughty seniors.

This play was pulled off two weeks ago at the Rose-Poly Vanderbilt game and was worked successfully for a touch down. The play is almost a sure ground gained and can very easily upset the opponents.

WHITE RATS GETTING THREE SQUARE MEALS
Are Fed Smoked Meat Every Day at the Chemistry Building
To determine the nutritious value of smoked meat, twenty-four white rats are eating smoked ham and turkey. The physiological-chemistry department.
"This experiment is conducted in order to determine the effect upon the nutritious value of meat by smoking it," declared Prof. H. W. Emmerson of the physiological-chemical department. "Twenty-four rats are divided off into twelve cages. To some liquid smoked meat will be fed, to others old fashioned smoked meat, and to others the plain cooked meat. Bread and meat will only be given to the rats. The amount will be accurately weighed each day, and the amount left over which the rats do not eat will also be weighed. In this way the amount of food consumed by the rats each day will be determined.
"Every morning at nine o'clock the rats will be weighed. In course of a few weeks, I will be able to determine which of the foods is more nutritious. In a like manner I will find whether smoked meat is more tasteful to the rats. If the amount of the smoked meat left over is greater than the meat plain cooked, then it is to be concluded that the rats like the smoked meat better." "Rats are no better as far as the experiment goes than any other carnivorous animal, except for convenience sake. Dogs would do just as well, but the space here to take care of the animals is inadequate. The time taken for this experiment is indefinite. It may take a few months or it may take a few years. There is no way of determining the length of time it will take.
"The results of this experiment will go however to show whether smoking renders meat less digestible and less valuable."

SPIRITED TEAM WORK DEFEATED KANSAS
Washburn Had Little Trouble in Beating Jayhawkers 10 to 0
THE SHIFT PLAY FAILED
Sons of Ichabod Met Famous Minnesota Play at Every Turn and Kansas Could not Gain.
For the first time since 1907 the sons of Ichabod at Topeka defeated the Jayhawks Saturday by a score of 10 to 0. Much has been said about the game, its remains, however, and that it is Washuba's fierce attack was too much for Kansas.
Several reasons for the loss of the game have been given but the one which Coach Lowman of the Manhattan Aggies, who watched the game assigned seems to us to be reasonable. When asked about the game he said:
"The Minnesota shift- That play forced the Kansas backs to go into the line time after time standing straight up. The ball was played slowly and the play was mussed up before your backs had a chance to get into action. It seems to me that the play was used too much. It tired the players out and did not give the men a chance. The play is allright to be used occasionally on the team. I think that the good old tackle shift, worked fast gives the balance a chance to smash into the line low and hard. It looked like the shift beat Kansas."
The Minnesota shift is a pretty play. It takes speed and accuracy to manipulate. It wears out the players and when used continuously throughout a game is ineffective. The play works have with a team that is not prepared to meet it but when a team has worked its defense especially for the famous shift the play fails utterly as was shown in the game against Washburn.
Spirit, confidence and fight did a great deal to bering a victory to Washburn. The team played fliendish at hats at times and Kansas could not stop the smashing Tomlinson or the elusive Smiley. This combined with almost perfect work work, good generalship and superb kicking presented an almost unbeatable proposition for a team playing in the form of the Jayhawkers.
Lack of team work was a noticeable fault of K. U. When gains were made it was by the sheer force of the men carrying the ball and at that the halfbacks were given a disadvantage by being forced to go into the line standing up. The reason for this was the slow handling of the bull. Kansas could not make a forward pass while a perfect flipe gave Washburn her first score.
In only three places on the eleven did Washburn have Kansas equaled on merits of individual players. At quarter back Smiley outgeneraled Magill, in扑unting Trobert had Burnham bested about 10 yards to the kick and at fullback Tomlinson on classed the Kansas men in line plus..ing.
Kansas has worked successfully but one forward pass this year. This lack of perfection in that play also has led observers to remark that K. U. is not as proficient in the new game as he did with teams that can use the play. Whatever the merits of this criticism can be the writer is not prepared to say.
Holiday, right half, had his knee wrenched in the game Saturday and probably will not be able to play again this season.
Details of Game.
Both teams were cheered loudly as they came on the field and the 4,000 rooters yelled back and forth across the gridiron at each other. Washburn rooters occupied the north stand and Kansas the south one. Both stands were filled to capacity. A hundred autos were lined up around the fence that enclosed the gridiron, and every one was filled.
One pleasing feature was the fact that there was no one on the sidelines during the game to obstruct the view. Only officials, coaches and substitutes were inside the gridiron fence, and all these were where they did not interfere with the spectators' view of the struggle.
At 2:25 o'clock Trobert kicked off for Washburn, Price catching the ball and returning fifteen yards. After two fruitless attacks Holliday was given
