AFTER THE TIGER
JAYHAWKERS ARE READY TO "TWIST HIS TAIL" AGAIN.
Team Is in Good Condition Practice Held Nearly Three Hours Today.
With forty eight hours before the annual Thanksgiving football game, the Jayhawkers are going through their last strenuous practice this (Tuesday) afternoon. The men were on the field at 3 o'clock, full of life and ginger as they ran the signals.
"With the exception of Billy Miller, I think our team is in as good condition as it has been this year" said Coach Kennedy this afternoon. "However, during the whole season the Nebraska game occupied our attention to the neglect of the Thanksgiving game. We knew what kind of ball Nebraska was playing and only from the papers are we acquainted with the kind of a game the pupils of Monilaw are playing. I look for a hard and close game. If Missouri can put up the defense that any of the teams that we have been playing for the last four weeks did, then the game will resolve itself into a punting battle with the chance of either team reaching a position where a field goal will win."
The personnel of the squad will remain the same as it has been lately and with the shifting of Veatch, Forter or Dennis to Miller's place at right half the line-up will stand as it did at Nebraska: Rouse, Pleasant
and White, ends; Crowell and Donald, tackles; Reed, Putman and Cohn, guards; Angney, and Coulter, quarter; Wallace, left half and Brunner, full back with Forter probably at right half. Ahlborn, Russell, Oldroyd, Ise, Veatch, Dodge and Campbell will substitute.
MAY HAVE FOUR DEBATES.
Council Favorable to Washburn In Communication with Iowa.
The Debating Council last night voted to confer with the Washburn committee and draft a contract for a Kansas-Washburn debate. Secretary Higgins was also authorized to correspond with Iowa with a view of renewing our contract with them. The committee to confer with Washburn is: C. A. Spencer, Frank Grant, B. A. Earhart.
The following committee was appointed to report on the Oklahoma question: John Ise, Harold Bozelle, S. A. McWilliams, and M. E. Canty. Oklahoma has been asked to submit a construction of the question on which they wish to debate it.
The preliminary debates will be held here as early after Christmas as possible. Professor W. H. Carruth, R. L. Douglas and Sullivan Lomax were appointed to revise the articles of the constitution on rules for trial debates, and a report will be made at the next meeting. As soon as this point is decided work on the questions will begin.
December, the 8th.
Keep that date! What for? The biggest event of the season.
SPECIAL RATES
BOTH ROADS MAKE RATE $1.60 FOR MISSOURI GAME.
Tickets Good on All Regular Trains—Santa Fe Special Leaves Kansas City at 11:30.
Both the Santa Fe and the Union Pacific have made the rate to Kansas City $1.60 for the Thanksgiving game. Tickets will be on sale Wednesday, and are good on all regular trains. The U.P. tickets are good for return Friday, and the Santa Fe tickets are good until Monday.
The U. P. will run no specials at all, but the Santa Fe will run a return special leaving Kansas City at 11:30, Thursday evening. Their afternoon trains Wednesday, will be equipped with extra coaches, and the 8:15 plug will carry three extra coaches. This is the train that will carry the Jayhawker team, and will probably carry a good share of the crowd as well.
THE COUNTY FAIR.
Y. W. C. A. Annual Stunt to be December 8.
The County Fair, given each year by the Y. W. C. A., will be given in Snow Hall Saturday afternoon and evening, December 8. All sorts of strange sights and sounds are promised on the "Pike."
Oklahoma Debate With Missouri.
The latest debating reports are that Missouri has answered our request for a debate stating that she is looking for another debate and that satisfactory arrangements can very probably be made.—Umpire.

The same annual Thanksgiving enthusiasm is prevalent among the students that is noticeable each year. Indications are now that 500 to 700 students will go to Kansas City. Two hundred and sixty-five tickets have been sold at the check stand and one hundred at Smith's News stand down town. The largest crowd will likely go Thursday morning on the 8:15 Santa Fe when the team and band go.
PROBABLY 700 AT K. C.
