UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME III.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, NOVEMBER 24,1906.
AN OFF DAY
JAYHAWKERS HAD ANOTHER PERIODIC SLUMP YESTERDAY.
K. S. A. C. Team had been Underestimated Here.-Miller has a Broken Collar Bone.
The hardest blow that came to the Kansas followers this year was the defeat administered to them yesterday by the tillers of the soil at Manhattan. Kansas started into the Aggie camp feeling that she must win by a close score and take no risks of getting her men knocked out before the Thanksgiving game next Thursday.
During the greater part of the game the ball was in the Farmers' territory, Kansas having four opportunities at field goals. The Farmers' score was secured by a fluke in the center of the field, where they secured the ball and crossed the Kansas line. The forward pass proved effective several times for each team but the formation that had proven so effective at Lincoln was an utter failure, the Manhattan boys having solved it's intricacies from the side-line at Nebraska.
Starting out, the Jayhawkers played at a whirlwind gait until two minutes had elapsed when Cohn scored four points from a field goal. From this time, the Farmers took a brace and the game from this point on was a battle royal. After twenty minutes of play, Kansas tried a punt from her own 50-yard line, which was blocked by the Farmers and bouncing into the hands of an awaiting Aggie, the ball was carried down the field for the winning touchdown. The goal was annexed making the score 6 to 4.
The second half was fought desperately. Kennedy brought every influence to bear, putting in the best men he had. On the other hand the Farmers, inspired by the thought of the big end of score in their favor, played like mad men. Angney was replaced by Coulter,that Angney might be in the best shape for next Thursday. Kansas was three times within scoring distance, but the leg that had served Wallace so faithfully at Lincoln had lost its equilibrium and twice the ball sailed shy of the mark while the other time the kick was blocked. The Farmers
never reached a place during this half where they could reasonably hope for another score.
During a scrimmage in the first half Billy Miller while advancing the ball received a jolt on the collar bone that proved to be a fracture. Brunner replaced Ise and Ahlborn was put in at quarterback.
ABOUT THE "MASQUE."
First Performance Under the New Name.
NUMBER 21
In view of the fact that the approaching performance of "David Garrick" will be the first one which has been given under the auspices of the "Masque" club, some information concerning the club will be interesting. The "Masque" is the successor of the University Dramatic Club, which had such a long and prosperous existence in the University. It is modeled after the Dramatic Clubs which exist in other schools, as the "Mask and Wig" at the University of Pennsylvania, the "Black Friars" at Chicago University and other famous clubs. The name is in keeping with the grotesque pin which is worn by the members and which may be worn only by those who have taken a speaking part in a public production of the organization. In this regard the pin bears a similar function to the athletic "K" and is as eagerly striven for. As the 'Varsity team draws its material from the football squad so the "Masque" draws from the University Dramatic Association, a body of fifty members, chosen by trial at the first of the year. The great interest shown in the work of the "Masque" and the University Dramatic Association gives promise that the high character of productions of the old dramatic club will be maintained and perhaps even surpassed during the present year.
Squires and no other for your picture.
The Mining Journal will not meet next Wednesday afternoon. On the afternoon of December 5. Prof. R.K.Duncan will address the meeting on the Industrial uses of the Rare Elements.
Remember Squires is the student photographer. He closes his studio in the summer when school is out.
DOING THINGS
Y. M. C. A. SHOWS REMARKABLE ACTIVITY THIS YEAR.
Jollification Last Night Reveals Scope of the Association Work In the University.
The Y. M. C. A. had an enthusiastic jollification in the parlors of the Presbyterian church last night for its members only. After an hour of jollying and singing, refreshments were served and secretary Hagerman talked of the Association this year.
Hagerman told some interesting facts about the practical work of the association among the men with its employment bureau and rooming house directory which were kept revised from day to day during the first weeks of the year. About one hundred men have been placed in positions, more than thirty of them for the whole year. Aside from this there will soon be two hundred men in the Y. M.C.A.Bible and mission study classes, besides the fraternity classes conducted by the general secretary.
The association will have a much larger membership than last year and will need an association house very badly before before the end of the year. Secretary Hagerman expects to be able to have a thoroughly modern house on the campus by the opening of next year. The next social stunt of the Y. M. C. will be the football reception next month.
THE ANNUAL "SCRIMMAGE."
Plans for Law School Football Dance.
A mass meeting of the Law School was held Thursday at noon, and a committee named for the annual "scrimmage" to be given for the football men in F. A. A. Hall next month.

Beta "Turkey Pull."
One of the most elaborate entertainments for some time was given by the Betas at their annual Thanksgiving "Turkey Pull" at their house last night. After a nine course banquet the party danced till about 2:30 a.m. The dance hall, which was also used as banquet room, was decorated in Beta colors with a large electric lighted Beta pin in the ceiling furnishing the illumination. Each of the four front parlors were decorated in the colors and pennants and lighted by the pin in electric lights of each of the four sororities represented here. The decorations made a decided hit. The guests present from out of town were: Dr. and Mrs. Browker, of Morris, Ill.; Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Davies, Miss Eva Hurst, Miss Lora Sigler and Ray Adams of Kansas City, Kansas; Miss Margaret Hammond and Sid Griggs, of Kansas City, Missouri; Miss Ella Willard, Topeka; Miss Anna Bonham, Burlingame, and Miss Florence Milles of Osage City.
