Oklahoma Changes Constitution To Conform With Conference Rules
Many Kinds are Represented
Missouri Valley Officials Will Vote on Proposition at Next Meeting
The University of Oklahoma will be in the Missouri Valley conference next year unless something unforeseen happens to wreck the hopes of the Oklahoma authorities. A letter received by Prof. C. C. Williams of the School of Engineering, who is president of the Missouri Valley Athletic Conference, from President Stratton D. Brooks of Oklahoma University, states that the constitution of their athletic association has been re-drafted and now stands places the control of athletics in the hands of the faculty.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 25, 1919.
In the past the control has been with the students and as the constitution of the Valley conference explicitly states that the supervision must be with the faculty they were refused admittance at the last conference, in the various schools at Des Moines IA., in May.
The next meeting of the conference will be in Kansas City, Mo., December 5 and President Williams believes Oklahoma will be admitted because the general opinion of the delegates favored admission as soon as the Sooners could meet the requirements in the constitution.
Another important matter to be taken up at the meeting is Nebraska's status in regard to conference athletics. Kansas and Ames have already related with the Husker school and the question of whether or not Valley schools will be permitted to schedule games with her
Scheduled for the 1919-1920 basket ball season and the spring track season will be arranged for by the conference officials.
Owl, Bird of Darkness,
To Blink in Davlight
"In spite of all rumors to the contrary, the Sour Owl is coming out Thanksgiving Day—all day," said Herb Little, its editor, this morning. "I state this with the greatest positivity, last few weeks I have developed several hairy hairs as a result of assuring the certainty of its appearance."
"My fellow conspirators, the Owl Board, with whose connivance this issue was produced, are likewise very weary and fully prepared to leave town for an indeftive stay innure, with the appearance of the Homecoming Number. At this time they will have need of both rest and shelter."
"It will be a better magazine, however, on this account," said Little. "Practically the work on it was done by our editors and helped their news on many a dark and dreary night, the editors pounded typewriteres by the flickering light of Madras and now the printers are doing their work under cover of darkness."
When questioned closely, Little admitted the pressmen and compositors at the office of the Journal-World, where the magazine is being printed, becoming full-fledged Owls because of working all night on the magazine.

By 1 o'clock the wildness of the crowd had begun to subside and it soon dispensed; but the big idea had got across. The winning of the Jay-hawk, when he dives into the Tiger on Thanksgiving Day, is assured.
A lonesome Ford, trailing a delivery wagon, was piled high with old boxes and out buildings. Almost immediately a fire sprang into existence, with the street stretches and numerous trips of the fire service constantly added, to the size of the confaguration, while the din of the yelling made the fire seem like that of a tenement house. Finally the nerve racked inhabitants of the building left no department; but that seasion only added to the enthusiasm of the roots.

Elblems of Class Destinciton Part of Loyalty Movement
The Loyalty Movement received a big boon (Monday night when arm bands appeared on the campus). Many people hafe wondered what the first missionary gave to allegiance to the cause, and the idea promised to be a popular one.
Twenty-five hundred of the bands were ordered by the W. S. G. A. who is fostering the idea and this organization desires to have it generally understood that the idea is not a money making scheme. The bunds sell for a certain price and the two cents profit will go into the loyalty campaign fund.

Beat Missouri!
Wednesday morning in Robinson Gymnasium and Wednesday night on the Hill where the ruins of old North College mark the beginning of the University of Kansas are the times the students -yes, and the profes- tors who do not play football, can helpebeyou Tiger. Such is the verdict of Joe Schwarz, the Big Chief of the Varsity Noise Nose Produring Squad.
"Everybody who attends the University and everybody who ever did attend it are eligible," said Schwarz, questioned as to the membership of his team. "Strong vocal cords are the only requirements. First special practice for the big game will be held on Wednesday morning in the gym. Short feature the morning. The old touchdown signal—the lusty rock Chalk- and the line smashing cry of the Oh Me, Oh My, will be rehearsed. Candidates for each position will be coached by old hands at the game.

NIGHT RALLY ON NORTH COLLEGE CAMPUS
At 7:50 o'clock, the yells will be given again with the added stimulus of a bonfire on North College Hill that will rival the burning of Rome in brilliance and intensity.

When the elf disguises himself into the flames, the rootters will bend their tear for a worthy fee gown, and turn again to the training for the Valley Championship game Thursday.
