WALLACE KICKED TWO FIELD GOALS=-'09 NEVER SCORED ON.
Caldwell, Porter and Steele of the Freshmen Show Varsity Cali- Sion Sons Kern County
Clyde Austin Wallace repeated his Nebraska performance today and won the Sophomore-Freshman game by two field goals. It was a struggle between the two Freshman teams developed here under the Chicago conference rules and both remain without having their goals lines crossed. The '09 team has never been scored upon.
ber, So Kennedy Says.
Wallace starred for the second year men all through the game. He made long end runs, gained by line plunges, and returned punts better than any other soph. Porter, Caldwell and Steele did the most brilliant work for the first year men.
The sophomores kicked off and a punting game began. Steele made good returns on punts and Porter reeled off a twenty yard run to break the monotony, but the sophs held. After an exchange of punts the sophs got the ball in the middle of the field. Wallace made a long sprint on a fake punt, but Veatch was penalized for hurdling. Wallace kicked a field goal from the 25-yard line. Porter missed a try and the half closed 4 to 0 in favor of .09.
In the second half Wallace made a field goal from the 30- yard line. The freshmen got the ball on a punt on the sophs' 15-yard line, but the second year men buckled down and two downs lost 5 yards. Porter missed goal. The sophs in turn lost a chance for a touchdown by fumbling on the freshman 8-yard line. The line-up:

RHODES SCHOLARSHIP EXAM.
Is to Be Held Here Next Month to Select a Kansan for Oxford.
NUMBER 26
Examinations for the Rhodes scholarship at Oxford will be held at the University of Kansas January 17 and 18, under the direction of the state board composed of Chancellor Strong, President Plass of Washburn, and President Murlin of Baker. Anyone in the state over nineteen years of age and under twenty-five is eligible providing he has completed the first two years at a degree granting college. All candidates must be single.
Candidates are examined in
In the selection of candidates regard is also taken for the candidate's literary and scholastic ability, his fondness for manly out-door sports, his qualities of manhood, truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection of the weak, kindliness, unselfishness, and fellowship, and his exhibition during school life of moral force and his interest in his fellow students.
The scholarship pays nearly $1500 a year and is tenable for three years. Part of the money is spent during the summer each year traveling in Europe. The two scholars from Kansas now at Oxford are: E. W. Murray, K. U. '03; and Frank M. Mohler, Washburn '04. Mr. Murray's time expires this year. Information in regard to the examination may be obtained from Chancellor Strong.
SOPHOMORES NAME QUESTION
Segregation of Sexes to be Debated by Sophomores and Freshmen.
The question chosen by the sophomores for the annual Freshman-Sophomore debate is as follows: "Resolved, That it is for the best interest of students in colleges of liberal education that the sexes be segregated." The question at least presents the virtue of being new and out of the ordinary and should result in an interesting debate. The Freshmen have the choice of sides and will select their side during the coming week. The time for the preliminaries for the choosing of debates has not been decided upon yet but will probably be at about the time of the interstate preliminaries. A number of both sophomores and freshmen have indicated their intentions of entering the contest this year and there promises to be some rivalry that will almost take the place of the old Maypole scrap.
The sophomore party last night was a pronounced success both socially and financially. Despite the fact that there were several rival places of entertainment a large crowd was in attendance. The music was furnished by a part of Newhouse's orchestra and was excellent.
Sophomore Party a Success.
The bones of the prehistoric man, which were found near Lansing, Kansas, in 1902, were placed on display for the first time this week. They may now be seen on the third floor of the museum.

BEST IN YEARS
MASQUERS' PRODUCTION A DECIDED HIT.
One of Best Amateur Productions Ever in Lawrence.—To Be Given at Missouri Monday.
The presentation of "David Garrick" in the Bowersock opera house Thursday and Friday evenings was the best thing the club has given for several years. Koehler, as Garrick, Solon Smith as Ingot, Riddle as Squire Chivy, and Miss Parkman as Ada Ingot did work that would credit professionals. The general effect of the production has been compared very favorably with Walker Whiteside's production of the same play last year. There were no weak places in the cast and all the heavy emotional scenes were admirably sustained. In this respect both Koehler and Miss Parkman deserve special praise.
The following is the complete cast.
David Garrick...Gus Koehler
Simon Ingot...Solon Smith
Richard Chivy, Esq..Arthur Riddle
Mr. Smith...Willard Holmes
Mr. Jones...Wesley Stout
Mr. Brown...Glen Shields
Thomas...Clem Parker
George...Roy Land
Ada Ingot...Miss Elizabeth Parkman
Mrs. Smith...Miss Vinnie Lewis
Miss Araminta Brown...
Miss Isabel Barton
"My Wife's Bonnet," given as a curtain raiser made a very pleasing introduction for the play. It is a first class farce and was well presented. Dan Anderson as Mr. Topknot, the suspicious husband, won the most applause by his interpretation of the part.
The cast is:
Mr. Topknot ...Dan Anderson
Mr. Cutwater ...Wendel McCanless
Mr. Jones ...Roy Land
Mrs. Topknot ...Edna Hopkins
Mrs. Cutwater ..Dorothy McKnight
Mrs. Appleby ..Elsie Loucks
Fanny ...Muriel Culp
In spite of the unusually heavy expense of staging, the play more than paid expenses. The sophomore party last night cut into the second night performance somewhat, but the club will probably come out whole. The managers have arranged to produce "David Garrick" at Columbia, Mo., under the auspices of the M.U.Dramatic club Monday evening. The cast leave tomorrow afternoon for Columbia. The curtain raiser will not be given at Columbia on account of the expense of taking such a large troupe.
Professor Bahner Improving.
Mr. Bahner, who was last year connected with the German department, and who has been suffering from a severe illness in Topeka, is reported to be slowly improving. He hopes to be able to go to Yale, where he has a fellowship, at the beginning of the spring term.
Y. M. C. A. FOOTBALL DINNER.
First Annual Spread for Training Table Squad.
The Y. M. C. A. gave a dinner for the football squad in the parlors of the Presbyterian church Thursday evening, at a quarter past six. All the men who were on the training table were present, besides Coach Kennedy, Chancellor Strong, Uncle Jimmy Green and Dr. Van der Vries. The function was a flattering success, and it will be made an annual event. The Sigma Chi quartette sang several selections.
Toasts were given by Chancellor Strong on "The team—our pride;" by Coach Kennedy on "The Spirit of the Eleven;" by Dr. Van der Vries on "Purposes;" and by J. P. Hagerman on "Loyalty to the Team." "Uncle Jimmy" Green, as toast-master, before calling for toasts, said in substance: "Do you young men realize why you are here? I'll tell you. It is because the Christian association recognized that you play the kind of a game that their ideals demand, and they want to express their appreciation of it."
ENGINEERS PLAN CAMPAIGN.
Are Out to Boost the New Engineering Building.
The committee of engineers, consisting of W. P. Hackney, C. P. Donald, Frank H. Blackmar, Carl Dassler and Claude Steele, which was selected at the banquet to arrange for boosting the movement for a new engineering building, held meetings Wednesday and Friday afternoons at Dean Marvin's office. The committee arranged for a mass meeting of the engineers to be held about next Tuesday. At this meeting there will be short speeches by representatives from the different schools of the university. Committees will be selected from the eight congressional districts to arrange for a personal canvass of the state senators and representatives of their districts and to set before the legislators the condition and needs of the university. As soon as possible circulars will be distributed among the students, showing the growth of each of the schools of the university, what has been done for each school and what must be done in the near future in order that the progress of the university may proceed. It is intended that the plans be perfected at once so that the work can be carried on successfully during the Christmas holidays.
