UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 4, 1912.
ARE YOU GOING TO
K. U.-N. U. GAME?
ArrangementsAre Being Made For Special Rooters Trains
LET DAILY KANSAN KNOW
If 300 Students Will Make The Trip They Can Have a Train of Their Own.
"The people of Lincoln and the students at the University of Nebraska are looking for a thousand a Knaas rosters at the annual football game between the two schools which will be played in Lincoln November 16," said a Nebrakan, who attended the K. U. Sooner game last Saturday. "If the school does not send up a team for the team the Cornhuskers will have a poor union of Kansas."
In view of this fact arrangements are being made with the Union Pacific and Missouri a pacific railroads for a special train. Not two special cars attached to the regular trains on these lines but a strictly Jayhawker train with all conveniences including pullmans.
To get this train the railroad companies have to be assured that at least 300 students will go, to the Cornhusker-Jayhawker game.
It is probable that a lower 'rate' will be given than ever before and in order to find out the exact number of students who intend to make the trip the Daily aKnsan has been asked to receive the names of those who want to go by the Kansas Special. The names can be sent to the editor.
WORKING GIRLS NOT GIVEN SQUARE DEAL
Miss Williston Says Hundreds of Girls Can't Get Decent Employment
"Our working girls are not getting a square deal," declared Miss Nair Williston of Kansas City, deputy factory inspector of Missouri, Sunday afternoon at the regular meeting of the University Y. W. C. A. "Many of them live in rooms not fit for rats. The working girl is innately good but the temptations fall in her path which are often too great for her to withstand."
"One evening more than two years ago, before I began my present work, I was going home from my office. I found a littleIrish girlgof my acquaintance who told me that she had just drawn her weekly wage of six dollars. Of this she owed four. I asked her what she would do when this was ground and she would give me the money for my work for the day was not yet over. I walked the streets of Kansas City with that girl for two hours. Finally she agreed to go home with me.
"That night I decided that the system which gives to some girls things that they do not want, comforts which they do not desire because they do not feel safe, nor are they safe in other girls of the necessities of life, is wrong and that condition cannot last.
"Some think that those who really want work can find it, but there are hundreds of good girls who cannot find decent employment. When these girls begin to feel that the world is against them and that they are not getting a square deal, then our real work begins. If they say 'I've tried but I can't make it' it takes our best efforts to keep them from going wrong.
"Once I went into an egg candling establishment. The most frightful conditions imaginable existed in that place. There was not a ray of light, not a breath of fresh air, not a drop of water, not even a paper to use as a fan. While I was there one girl was overcome. She had been in that work for two years and her health was gone. I had to take the manager to court in order to make him improve, the conditions in his establishment."
Mr. Rialdo Darrough, '12, spent the week-end at the Sig Alpha hosue.
UNIVERSITY TESTS
N I V E R S I T Y TESTS
SHOW POOR CITY WATER
That the city water of Chanute is totally unfit for use is the statement made by Dean S. J. Crumbine of the School of Medicine, secretary of the State Board of Health, after the bacteriological examination, that the water recently made by Prof. C. C. Young, of the department of chemistry.
In his letter to the mayor and the city council, Dr. Crumbine says with regard to the water situation that the city should either make an immediate change in the source of supply, which is at present the Neoasha river, or else install a modern filtering plant.
"The life and health of your community is in constant menace so long as such a polluted supply of water is served to your people for consumption," is the warning of the Dean, contained in the final paragraph of the letter.
Miss Roailie Bescose, of Kansas City, spent the week-end with Kathleen Winters, a freshman in the College.
DORMITORY FUND
INCREASED BY $200
Marine Band Concert Shower Up Total for Woman's Building to $8,000
The women's dormitory fund is something under $200 richer by the U. S. Marine band concert Saturday morning. The exact figures are not yet available, as the final accounting has not yet been made, and the local expenses have not been totaled up.
The management reports that 1195 people attended the concert, which makes the receipts nearly $600. The band received $400 for the concert, which leaves less than $200 to pay the local expenses of the temporary fund. The amount in the dormitory fund is now $7,000 or $-300.
MANY TICKETS SOLD.
"We want this to be the best "Uncle Jimmy Day" banquet ever held," declared President Kenneth Simmons at a meeting of the laws this morning, at chapel time, "and we want every man to attend."

Bennie Owen remarked after the game, "We deserved to win, it's our turn to get the break in the luck for a while. As for the Missouri-Kansas game I think it's a toss-up to pick the winner."
TIGERS AND JAYHAWKERS
ABOUT EVEN, SAYS OWEN
Coach Mosse said, "We should have won but luck" was against us and they took advantage of several bad plays by the Kansas team."

GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATES ON UNIVERSITY INTERESTS
Arthur Capper and George H. Hodges, candidates for governor, save outlined their attitude toward the University of Kansas in the following communications, in reply to a query from the Men's Student Council and the Daily Kansan relative to their position on the Mill Tax:
From Mr. Capper.
From Mr. Capper.
To the University Daily Kansas:
"The longer I live the greater my interest in the educational institutions of Kansas. I am especially proud of the record made by our state University, and the standing it has acquired among the great schools of the country. There is no reason why we should not develop here in Kansas one of the world's great universities, and I believe that the state should maintain' a farsighted policy in its attitude toward K. U. The friends of the University and that—ought to mean every citizen of Kansas—may count upon my most earnest co-operation, whether I am elected governor or not. The University is one of the state's best investments, and all Kansas should take pride in its growth and the further development of its usefulness. It is a shame that the faculty of the University has been compelled to appear before the governor for the attitude of mendicants to obtain what most good citizens of the state cheerfully concede the school needs. I am in favor of the mill tax as a basis for a permanent income for the University and all of the state educational institutions, and I will be glad to give my cordial support to all legislation looking to the advancement of the University's interests."
Cordially yours,
ARTHUR CAPPER.

"In closing I will say that I have done nothing in the past to retard the growth of the University but have worked in its favor, and you may be sure of my future attitude to be in accordance with the past.
"It gives me great pleasure to have this opportunity of committing myself on my attitude toward the University. I understand that I have been misquoted with reference to the matter but all who have followed my active work with reference to legislation for the University cannot help but be assured that my attitude in the future will, as in the past, be of the friendliest nature toward the University. If elected I hope to do all that I can to place the University outside of politics and make the support sure by means of the proposed mill tax, in this way taking its support out from under the whim and caprice of legislatures. I presume that all of you are aware that through my efforts we saved $50,000 to the University in the last appropriation bill. The saving in expense that may be made for the state to a great extent along the line of duplications which may be corrected as they at present exist. If elected, I hope to do all within my power to make this, the University of Kansas, the greatest and best state university in existence.
ours very respectuily,
GEO. W. HODGES.

CONCRETE BLOCK BEING
TESTED BY ENGINEERS
The strength of 500 cylindrical blocks of concrete, 8 inches in diameter, and 16 inches high, is being tested in the engineering laboratory by Prof. H. A. Price, for the Kansas City Terminal Co., the firm that is building the new union depot. The blocks are samples of the material used in the construction of the numerous vaducts. By means of a large machine, each one is subjected to intense pressure, and crushed. They show a resisting force of from 150,000 to 160,000 pounds.
Mr. Harold and Mr. Charles Woodbury of Kansas City spent the week end at the Sigma Chi house.
Theres a band of loyal people who abound in all the schools whose praises have been left unsung; we speak of them as fools. They usually enjoy the name because they know the back, but those who know not how things go, all slip them a back booth. We cheer for men on football fields who work for our renown, yet when they flunk or give a con, we always help them down. No thought is given to the hours of practice and of work, and every one recites the bunk that Soso is a shirk. "Bonehase is his maiden name, he got a four in Math," and yet we cheer him to the skies to see him hew a path clean through the hated "other team" and win the game for US; and yet if he but flank an hour, we all stand up and cuss. They tell us that the athlete is highest in his class, and yet you know the truth is that he's in great luck to pass. And so it is with other things that make our college life, the more we do for others, why the more we get the knife; if you debate, or sing a song, or run a race, or write; it's ten to one a con will get you, though you win the fight. Just take a tip from one who knows how big a fool he is, and stick to things that pull the Is; that's what is known as "bizz."

K. U. RIFLE CLUB TO JOIN NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
A College Rifle Club will be organized in the University as soon as enough men have signed the by-laws of the National Rifle Association. The College Rifle Club is in the fourth class of the National Rifle Association which has its head office in Washington and is strictly a collegiate organization and students only are eligible to compete for honors.
Each college may have its own rifle range and use its own guns provided the regulations of the association are complied with. The shooting is a charge of a competent referee who sends the targets to the national headquarters where the highest scores are determined.
Last year the club of the University did not receive high scores because the rifles used were in poor condition. This year fifteen men have signed the by-laws of the club.
Members of the faculty may shoot for practice but they may not compete for intercollegiate honors. Dr. Naiasmith of the department of physical education is in charge of the contests this season.

OKLAHOMANS PLUCK
JAYHAWK'S FEATHERS
Sooners' Victory in See-Saw Contest by a 6 to 5 Score
COURTRIGHT STARS IN GAME.
Defeats Kansas by Two Well Placed Kick-Game Marred by Excessive Fumming for Both Teams.
For the second time in the history of the school Bennie Owen journeyed northward with a bunch of fighting Sooners and sent the Jayhawk to the bushes minus a few of his favorite tail feathers. Last year it was by a three point margin and this year by a bare one point lead but it was a victory and means that it will not be long before the team is headed to the Missouri, Valley. Conference.
Whether it was caused by flukes or by the majority of the luck breaking with the Owen aggregation, the fact remains that the Norman team should be given credit for displaying a plucky defense against the heavier Jayhawkers and finally nosing them out of a victory by Courtright's superb kicking.
The game as a whole was one of the cleanest contestst that has ever been played on McCook field. Both teams were penalized for a total of two twenty- and the Sooners being penalized (for twenty and the Jayhawkers for the remainder.
Field was Muddy.
The muddy condition of the field accounted for the excessive number of fumbles, both teams dropping the ball time after time at critical points. Kansas lost her best chance to win when Miller lost the ball on Oklahoma ten yard line, after a wonderful march down the field on a series of gains by Detweiller and Holliday in the second quarter.
Oklahoma opened the game by kicking off to Coleman, who returned the ball for twelve yards before downed. Kansas failed to make the necessary ten yards and was forced to kick. On a fumble Kansas regained the ball and after a series of gains by Steuwe, Coleman and Weidline attempted to place kick from the forty-five yard line. The attempt failed and after battling back and forth Weidline again tried at goal but 'the kick was blocked by Spears the big Oklahoma center. The quarter ended the ball in Kansas. Coleman and Weidline in the initial session Kansas had much better of the contest. The Kansas backs Steuwe, Coleman and Tudor tore through consistently for good gains but spoiled all chances to score by bumbling at critical points. The Kansas line also showed up well against the Sooner attack. Bramwell and Daniels both starred at breaking up the Oklahoma plays.
Kansas Scored First.
In the second quarter Coach Mosse made a change in the backfield, replacing the backs Detweiller and Holliday. After playing for several minutes in mid field with neither side gaining consistently, Courtright fumbled Burnham's kick and Brownlee captured the ball on Oklahoma's thirty yardline, Detweiller and Holliday tore off ten yards and Weidlin scored for Kansas on a perfect place kick from the twenty yard line. On Oklahoma's kick off Daniel returned the ball for fifteen yards. At that point Kansas showed her first real playing of the game and carried the ball on end runs down to the Sooners ten yard line, by gains by the Rangers seven yards. The line showed up wonderfully at forming interference at this point. On a straight line back on the ten yard line Kansas lost the ball on a fumble by Miller. Detweiller was injured shortly afterward, Coolidge replacing him, the quarter ending with Kansas leading by a three point margin. Score Kansas 3 Oklahoma 0.
The third quarter opened with a punting duel between Burnham and Courtight the Oklahomaans, having the better of the play. Parker replaced Coolidge at half back. On one of Courtight's kicks the ball was forced over the fence to kicked and Burnham's boot going for but twenty yards out of bounds the Oklahomaans tried for touchdown. Milton replaced Helvern at center and the Sooners being unable to shove the ball over, the quarter ended with the
