FARMERS NEXT
JAYHAWKERS AT MANHATTAN ON FRIDAY.
Will Be a Hard Game.—Kennedy's Men are in Splendid Condition.
The 'Varsity plays its last game of foot ball before Thanksgiving against the Farmers, Friday at Manhattan. While the Aggies do not excite the ordinary foot ball fan very much, still much like Washburn they play their crowning game of the season against K.U. and to win would be to them even greater than the victory Saturday was to the Jayhawker followers.
The Agricultural boys have a fast team this season holding Washburn down to a mere nosed-out victory of 5 to 4. They are also aware of the best formations that Kennedy and DeMosse could turn out at Lincoln where the entire Farmer squad took notes.
The proteges of Kennedy were out for the first time this week last evening and for an hour trotted through signal work occasionally stopping to engage in a close range snow ball fight. The team is in splendid condition considering the hard game Saturday. Not a man is laying off with bruises and the entire squad of twentythree men is anxiously awaiting the call to duty from the coach in either of the two remaining games.
MAY CHANGE OFFICIALS.
Matter of Thanksgiving Officials Not Definitely Settled.
The referee for the game proposed by the managers of the two schools at Kansas City is Anderson. Dr.James Naismith, chairman of the committee on officials, has not approved the choice. Longman, the Arkansas coach, claimed that Anderson gave Arkansas the wrong end of the decisions every time a question arose and stated his points in a signed article. This gives Kansas ground for asking that Cornell should referee the game. This places Anderson and Delaney as umpires. It is not known just what attitude Missouri will take but it is supposed the change will be made without any objection on the part of Hetherington.
Freshman Party.
The freshman class will give their first big party Friday, November 23,1906,at Fraternal Aid Hall. Shanty will furnish the music and an excellent program has been prepared. All students are cordially invited. Admission 75 cents.
TO PLAY TWO NIGHTS.
Black Seal Cigars 5c.
Masquers Will Present David Garrick December 13-14.
NUMBER 20
Owing to the great interest that has been manifested in "David Garrick" among the people of the city, the management has decided to make a two-night performance. The dates selected are December 13 and 14. The cast that has been selected is a good strong one, and the managers are delighted with the rehearsals. Koehler, in the title role, has had much experience on the stage, and is doing work that will certainly win him a name in dramatic circles at the University.
"David Garrick" will be given with a curtain raiser, as it plays less than two hours alone. "My Wife's Bonnet," a splendid farce comedy has been selected to open the program. It is one of the funniest things ever written,and will undoubtedly make a hit.
AN UNUSUAL PROGRAM.
Christmas Concert by the Glee Club December 5.
The date for the glee club concert has been changed again from Thursday, December 6, to Wednesday, December 5, on account of a conflict with other entertainments in town. The club is going to be a recordbreaker this year. A superabundance of material offered early in the year and Director Hubach has had hard work to decide whom to leave out. Fifty men tried, and twelve will be chosen to make the trips. The club will introduce a novelty in programs this year, in the way of a two part entertainment, the latter half composed of minstrel music.
The first part consists of high class music, including a short sacred cantata, "The Nun of Nidaros," and the second part will be a minstrel by twelve picked voices, rendering many of the latest popular songs and local hits.
It has been the special aim of the management this year to get the entire student body interested in the glee club work, and as this comes under the season tickets of the student assessment, every student should make it a point to be present.
The local section of the American Chemical society met in the chemistry building last Saturday evening. The following papers were read by University people. Commercial Ice Cream, Professor Bailey; Distribution of Helium in Natural Gas, Professor Cady; Determination of Hydrogen in Gaseous Mixtures, Professor McFarland; Kansas Petroleum in the Cracking Process, Professor Bushong.
MORE 'PHONES
BELL COMPANY TO HAVE CEN- TRAL ON THE HILL.
About Seventy-Five Phones Will be Installed--Home Phone in Each Building.
A contract has been closed with the Bell Telephone Co., for the installation of about seventy-five phones on the hill. Each department office will have a 'phone of its own, besides public stations in every building. In order to save the city offices a central will be established on the hill. The system will be a great convenience, especially to the office, and will facilitate the business of administration very materially. Work will begin at once and the system will be in by the first of the year. The Home Telephone Co. will install a public station in each building in the near future.
OKLA. U. SUBMITS QUESTION.
Will Debate Chinese Exclusion Next Spring.
The Oklahoma question was submitted this week, and our Debating Council will select its side of the question within a couple of weeks. The question is: "Resolved; That, the policy of the United States in excluding the Chinese should be maintained."
Frazer-Ramsey.
A wedding, the culmination of a friendship which began several years ago when both parties were students on the hill, will take place tonight at the Plymouth Church, when Miss Della Stuart Frazer and Mr. Joseph Ramsey will be married. Miss Frazer is an alumna of the local chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta and Mr. Ramsey an alumnus of the Phi Kappa Psi. Both were very popular when in school here. For some years the bride has been the society editor of the Lawrence Journal and the groom is now the city ticket agent of the Santa Fe railroad. Among the out of town visitors to the wedding, all of whom were former students are: Miss Margaret Hammond, of Kansas City; Mr. Wm. Cockins, Meade, Kansas; Sidney] S. Lindscott, Holton; Joe Dyer and Marvin Creagor, of Kansas City, Missouri.
May Change Three Year Rule.
There is a move in institutions of the Western Conference to amend the three year rule adopted by the last conference to favor athletes who competed as freshmen before the new rule went into effect. Michigan is one of the prime movers, as such men as Garrels, Coe, Graham and Magoffin will lose a year by the rule. It is held but fair to allow men who compete in their freshman year to play through their senior year.
ORCHESTRA CONCERT.
Voluntary Fee Tickets are Good for Admission.
The annual winter concert by the orchestra will take place next Tuesday at 8:15 in Fraser. This concert will be open to all holders of the season ticket, and an especially popular program has been prepared. The orchestral numbers include Schubert's "Serenade," Godard's "Berceuse," the favorite "Soldiers Chorus" by Gounod and several other favorites. The one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Mozart's birth will be celebrated by a performance of his famous "Don Juan" overture which was composed in a single night. For soloists Professor Hubach will sing a favorite scred song by Gounod with accompaniment of orchestra, piano and organ. All who have heard this rehearsal declare it one of the finest things ever rendered at the University. Prof. Appy, the new violoncello instructor will render a concert piece with orchestral accompaniment. Those who remember his performance at the faculty concert in October will be eager to hear him again.
NO K. C. A. C. CAME.
Chancellor Strong Sees No Advantage in It.
Chancellor Strong turned down the K. C. A. C. post season game yesterday, and the turkey day game will end our season as scheduled. Martin Delaney was here yesterday armed with letters from a score of Kansas City business men, but from the Kansas point of view they had no effect.
MAKE MONEY THIS YEAR.
Football Schedule Has Already Paid Out.
Manager W. C. Lansdon stated after the Nebraska game that the schedule had already paid for itself and that the receipts of the Thanksgiving game would go into the treasury. It is hoped that the Thanksgiving game will net $4,000. In that case it would be possible to remove the athletic field nearer the new gymnasium in a few years.
Death of Former Faculty Member.
Mrs. Cora McCollum Smith, who was for several years instructor in physical culture in the University, died last Thursday at Waterloo, Iowa, as the result of an operation. The funeral services were held at the Unitarian church in Lawrence, Sunday afternoon. The remains were sent to St. Louis for cremation. Mrs. Smith was a member of the faculty of the University from 1898 to 1903 and had a large circle of friends in Lawrence.
