SOONERS DETERMINED TO BEAT KANSAS
Owen's Team Heavier Thi Year Than Ever Before
Norman, Oklahoma Oct. 29. The squad which will accompany Coach Owen on the northern invasion will be one of the heaviest in years. The line up for last Saturday's game was as follows, Spears (174) center, Meacham (200) left guard, W. Clark (165) left tackle, Rogers (160) left end, Berry (172) right guard, Hott (162) right tackle, G. Clark (160) right end, Ambrister (144) quarter, Courtright (154) left half, Reeds (160) end, Capshaw (144) left half.
In last Saturday's game the team was greatly weakened by injuries to Courtright, who was unable to play on account of injuries. However, he has recovered and will be seen in his old position against the Jayhawkers.
The over confidence, which played such a prominent part in the Missouri defeat has gone and in its place is the determined confidence which wins games. This is often against Kansas, will be a much stronger team than that of the Missouri game.
Fine Arts Hallowe'en Party.
The faculty of the School of Fine Arts will give a hallowe'en party for the students of that school next Thursday evening at the home of Professor Hubach. The students will ride out and back on hayracks and many amusing stunts will be performed. One of the most interesting will be a ghostly dramatic sketch by Constance McCammon, Lawrence Morris and Emile Grignard with Professor Preyer for orchestra and Dean Skilton for stage manager.
TIGERS ARE COMING TO K. U. 2000 STRONG
Coach Brewer Gives Missouri ians a Report of the Kansas Team
Coaches W. O. Hamilton and W. L. Brewer have made all the arrangements for the big game. Two thousand Missouri students will come to Lawrence to witness the big struggle. Low to middle-income from Colorado to Kansas City, and special trains will carry the rooters to and from the place of the struggle.
Kansas is strong and we will have to fight all the time to win," declared Coach Brewer upon his return to Coil umbia.
VARSITY SHOWS UP BAD IN SCRIMMAGE
The tickets will go on sale at Columbia on November 4th, and it is expected that the students and their friends and alumni will take all of the seats. No门票 will be given to the general public until all the students and alumni have been supplied.

Team Has An Off Night Rambo Joins the Hospital Crowd
Several players on the Tigers were hurt in the game with the Sooners and are still troubled. Kemper, Shepard, Knoble, and Wiggans suffered the most and are limping yet.
The varsity had an off night last night and the brand of football displayed in the scrimmage against the Freshmen was what Coach Frank correctly labeled as "rotten." The line showed up miserably and allowed the Freshman backs to tear through for big gains or more than one try.
The main trouble, however, with the varsity seems to be at playing the forward pass style of game. At breaking up the opponents flips the varsity has improved to some extent but their attempts at using this style of play were lamentably weak. Sometimes it is the fault of the man making the pass but when the pass is a good one the player usually drops it.
This means that unless Miller and Bowran improve, Steweu will have to be used next Saturday against the Sooners. Jackson, a new recruit showed up well in that position last night and may prove a find later in the season.
The full back position is also causing some worry. Rambo, one of the best men at that position, joined the hospital list last night as a result of a broken neck and had to carry the ball. It is doubtful whether he will be able to play Saturday.
The quarter back position is still unsettled though it looks like Magill will start against the Okhlahomans. Parker, one of the most dependable quarters has been shifted to half back. This may or may not be permanent. However, despite his hardness, he showed up well against the Prodmen.
The line is the same as that used against the Aggies and unless someone is injured will probably remain the same.
HOLMES JR., TIGER
CAN'T SEE KANSAS
After Witnessing Aggie Game Predicts Victory For Missouri
Mr. Holmes witnessed the game at Lawrence Saturday. Yesterday he said: "Due to the overlooking of some offside plays and the calling of time very late in one quarter, Kansas defeated the 'Aggies.' Twice when the 'Aggies' should have scored touchdowns and were within a few yards of the Kansas goal. K. U. men for offside and the officials failed to see it. Had these penalties been inflicted as they should have been or even should have done until the ball was snapper, I am confident the 'Aggies' would have made at least twelve points more than they did and they might have tied the Jay-hawkers. This was the opinion of some coaches of valley teams, I talked with after the game.
"It is a mistake to believe that Missouri is weak and Kansas is strong. The Tigers just woke up in the Oklahoma game. You will see that Oklahoma will make a good showing against Kansas. In my honest opinion Missouri will beat Kansas this year and possibly by the largest score the Tigers have ever run up on their ancient enemy. The Kansas eleven, I believe, is the poorest in twelve years. Missouri is none too strong, but strong enough for that squad. I think Kansas will lose to Nebraska by a bigger score than Missouri does. I look for Nebraska to win the Missouri game next Saturday by two touchdowns."
SHIFT PLAYS USED THREE YEARS AGO
University people, proprietors of Rooming and Boarding Houses, or Fraternities; you can buy my nice large residence, 1190 Tennessee street on payments equal to what it will rent for, with interest on deferred payments. The payments will grow steadily less, and the final cost of the prope will be the interest only, as the rent will do the rest.
Invented by Dr. Williams at Minnesota University
The latest football development is so recent and has been referred to so often, that the story of its origin and uses may be interesting.
WHY PAY RENT?
J. C. GRIGGS
The regular formation, as it is called, of an aggressive line shows three men on each side of center. The rules require seven men on the line at the moment the ball is put in play, these men form a triangle whose team will, of course, adjust itself to be in the best position to meet what is likely to happen.
Many plays have been devised in the past to get more than three on one side of the center, so as to throw a superior number of men at a numerically weaker defense. But this shifting was always done in such a way that the defense had time to adjust itself before the attack. The shifting of line men from one side to the other was done by having them go directly from their places on one wing to the other side.
The backs might, or might not, shift at the same time. However, the process could not prevent an alert defense from shifting and bringing up reinforcements to the point threatened.
Three years ago this problem of out-flanking was given a little additional strategy by Dr. Harry Williams, coach at Minnesota university, who hasiana contributed the fourth really fundamental development to football.
Dr. Williams is a practicing physician of Minneapolis. His recreation center, The Minneapolis Residence, is located at 1802 West 43rd Street.
In 1909 Minnesota worked havoc with their rivals by means of a new shift principle. Two linemen, usually tackles, were pulled out of the line and stationed back of center. The holes they left were not closed, and the defenses could not be fitted line, the defense could not tell which side would be reinforced.
The tackles suddenly jumped into one of these holes, the other hole closing and the backs shifting in the same movement. BANG went the play before the defense could call up reinforcements or while so doing.
By this strategy, Minnesota succeeded in getting reinforcements over 5 per cent nearer the point of attack than it determined where they were going.
During the season of 1910 Yale had hard sledding. The Army beat Eli. Brown murdered at 21 to 0. November arrived and Harvard and Prince remained to be faced. Help! He was the cry from New Haven.
Tom Shevlin, former Yale captain, living at Minneapolis, and one of Dr. Williams' aids, heard the call and hurried to New Haven. He took drawings and ideas of the Minnesota shifts with him.
Shevlin was given command on Yale field and behind closed gates began teaching Minnesota's plays.
LETS ALL HELP.
Say, boys (and you girls, too) you have noticed the little chap who stands out by Green hall every Thursday, rain or shine, and asks you to buy a Saturday Evening Post, haven’t you? A faithful little fellow, he is, and a good one, and his name is Ralph Ulm.
Well, every month the Post people give a Shetland Pony (a real, live one) to the ONE boy in the whole stocking average for three months.
Last week's bulletin shows Ralph as standing No. 1 on the list. Now, here is the nubbin: He has to increase his sales and boost his average sales for the next six weeks to win this Pony. He sold 250 last week. He ought to sell 300 this week, 350 next week, and so on, he will, if you will help a little, and remember him each Thursday.
Help the boy along. Besides,
reading the Post regularly will help
