K. U. LOST TO AMES
Crippled Jayhawkers Unable to Score in First Conference Game
PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHTER
Better Showing in Other Games Expected by Coaches
K. U. football followers have little reason to be discouraged over the showing of the Kansas队 team last Saturday against Ames and over the prospect of victories in the remaining games this season, according to the Kansas Aggie scout who watched the 13-to-0 disaster Saturday.
Kansas played ragged football, and the Jayhawk showing was not up to the standard set in the other two games this fall, but the scout was not disposed to be pessimistic about his own team. "Frankly," he declared, "I think Kansas will be a lot harder for the Argies to beat two weeks from now than if Olecott's man had won from Ames. A defeat is hard to stand; but give Olcott and Clark two weeks to get the team over him." The machine will surprise even its most optimistic followers. If we were playing Kansas at Manhattan I would be more confident of victory, but at Lawrence things will be different and we will really be lucky to have a good play. For good reason seldom good football except at Manhattan. If Saturday's Nebraska game had been played at Aggrievance we would have undoubtedly beaten the Huskers if we were able to hold them to fourteen points at Lincoln."
Both Coach Olcott and Manager Hamilton were inclined to look at the future of the 1916 season in much the same way, Saturday night, during the wait in Des Moines for the home-bound train.
"This is the limit, I believe; at least, I hope so," said Coach Olcott, "and I look for a very different team two weeks from now. There is every chance that be back by the last of the week which would give us a week to get them ready for the Agrie game. Several of the linemen, including Martin, who were kept out of the Ames game for various reasons, will also be able to get back into harness with the Agrie contest, according to the coach.
Saturday's defeat at Ames was indeed a disaster, but it was more the failure of the Kansas offense to show, rather than the great class of the Iowa Aggies. The Hawkeyes will have rough sledding Saturday with Coach Schulte's powerful Missouri Tigers on their home ground. In Columbus, they declared, and a defeat by Missouri will enable Kansas to wipe out Saturday's disaster by a triumph over the Tigers Thanksgiving.
Ames looked especially good against Kansas. The great work of the two Iowa State College ends, Jones and Packer, and particularly the latter in getting around the K.U. line and smashing the Jayhawker plays, especially those from an open formation, also assisted in good tackling. The Kansas tackling was ragged and not sure. The team still possesses a fatal hesitation in going after a man and hitting the dirt, according to Coach Olcott.
Standing out from the gloom Saturday was the playing of Captain Lindsey. Few of Lindsey's passesORKed, but he wasn't the leader, the leader that Packer and his mate were on top of him almost as soon as the ball reached his hands. His pants averaged slightly less than usual for the same reason, and if he had not been hurried, he would have dropped the 49-yard drop kick he attempted in the fourth quarter, as the boot had the distance but was inaccurate because of the hurry in which it had to be gotten off. Foster also played the best pass he has had since Day one. On the design the line showed an encouraging ability to hold like a rock.
The first Iowa touchdown came early in the opening quarter after Ames had rushed the ball down the field from near their own goal line where they received Lindsey's fifty-yard kickoff. With the ball on the K. U. six-yard and only first down, Paige swung toward Kansas left end and the outspread ofference to for the necessary distance for a six-point score. Jones added another point a minute later with the goal.
With "Heavy" Graham, umpire, closely watching the Ames holding tactics, the Iowans were badly hand-capped the second period, being penalized forty-five yards. But play was bad; that Kanley had two chances to score, once when Sloss fumbled Lindsay's punt on his own forty-yard line and Reid recovered it, and five minutes later when Ames lost the ball on downs on their own twenty-yard线. The fourth quarter offensive staged

Being a tale entitled, "The Deed is Did," or "Samson Shorn of his Locks." To proceed: Dean Reitzel (no relation to Dean Tempah), erstwhile fourier and one of the youngest in his make-up, and now posing as a reporter for the Kansan, has for four years cultivated a moustache a 14 Ch.

But this week the boys at his rooming house decided to rid themselves of the obnoxious hairs. They acted. Catching him unawares, he was shorn of the most beautiful eyebrows-on-thehip.

WILL DON THE CORDS
Swish, Swish, Swish—the Journalists Will March October 20
Friday, October 20, 1916.
No, that isn't the date for a big fall formal party, nor the day for a touch by the chance on the Nation will permit a holiday. It is the day when the men of the department of journalism don their corduroy trousers—the mark that distinguishes them from the rest of humanity, like the senior law canes and the freshman caps.
Friday, October 20. 1916.
edwin Hullinger, president of the Associated Journalists, today announced that Friday would be the day for all loyal journalists to appear properly garbled. No species style of "cords" was specified—light dark, peg-tops, semi-pigs or English cuts will be acceptable. The only restriction is that they were made, but numerous threats were whispered around the Kansan office this morning that any journalist who did not wear his cords might be subjected to the twelfical freshman punishment.
The custom was started by the journalists last year, the idea being imported from Leland Stanford University where the juniors wear caps from the time the university opens in the fall until it closes in the spring.
"There are three distinct reasons for wearing 'cords';" said a member of the board, who will all, to establish a laudable custom; second, to save cleaners' bills; and third, to—well, you know how 'cords' discourage knuckles if you have them. You can be put in faith can be put in the statement of this member remains to be seen.
Every man regularly enrolled in the department of journalism is urged to spend himself and join in with the older members in the department and make October 20 a big day. Every man who was enrolled in the department last year has been invited to be with nearly a hundred new men in the department, the "cards" will make a very considerable showing on the Hill.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 16, 1910
Last year, when the custom was started, only the students responded to the call to colors. This year, faculty members in the department, urge on by "Stamping Out" Rose Family Star, are seriously considering the advisability of costuming "along with the rest of the fellows."
MORAN MAN BELIEVES
MORAN MAN BELIEVES
SPECIMENS CONTAIN GOLL
Prof. W. P. Haynes of the extension division of the department of geology received a box of small specimens of rocks from Moran, a few days ago. They were accompanied by a letter from the sender who believes they contain gold and who wishes to know their value.
Such specimens come into the department all the time. The bright crystals are either sulphide of iron, copper or lead. Professor Haynes says they are of no value because they are found in small particles.
The University Fencing Club will meet this afternoon at four-thirty in the wrestling room at the Gym. C. B. Harrison, instructor in physical education, will explain some of the principles of fencing. Regular meetings will be held on Monday and Wednesday afternoons at four-thirty.
The department examines all specimens and tries to satisfactorily answer the letters. However, if a chemical analysis is needed in a sender, to cover such expenses. Otherwise they would be swamped by the specimens sent in.
Fencing Club Meets Today
Entomology Club Elects
The Entomology Club today announced the election of the following new members: Olin Darby, Harry Fackler, Scott Johnson, Gertrude Otte. A new ruling is required to make a grade of "2" or over in every subject before he can be eligible to membership in the organization.
GIGANTIC TORTOISE REAPPEARS AFTER ABSENCE OF 50,000 YEARS
Rare Phillips County Specimen Being Glued Together in the
Palaeontological Museum
Hundreds of pieces of crumby shell have been glued together in the palaeontological museum of the University during the past few weeks. The result is the reappearance after more than 50,000 years of a gigantic land tortoise in something like its original form.
The solving of a puzzle which goes back thousands of centuries has proved a tedious and nerve wracking task, because white from a scientific standpoint.
The reason is that the tortoise, of this age fully assembled is a rare specimen. It was found in a crumbly condition in Phillips county in a town where the local stone, which was formed according to an estimate by H. T. Martin, curator of the palaeontological museum between 50,000 and 75,000 years ago. Not only is the shell complete but it is said to be the first specimen found in the vicinity extrac with the skull and cervical vertebrae also present in entirely.
Arthur Nevin Conducts Singing
—Men Are Badly
Needed
CHORAL UNION MEETS TO TRY TO CURB FLOOF
Urgging that more men come out for the Choral Union along with the girls of the School of Fine Arts who are compelled to do so as a part of their work, Prof. John N. Van der Vries, president of the Choral Union comes forward with the announcement of the choir's performance Tuesday evening at the high school building, corner of Ninth and Ken- Kentucky.
"We have the finest instructor in the United States in the person of Arthur Nevin," said Mr. Van der Vries this morning. "This summer he conducted choruses similar to the Choral Union in New England, and gained many new ideas of the way it should be done."
The Choral Union, started two years ago, has been a success. Last year three concerts were given, the largest of the year taking place Palm Sunday. The churches of the city united for an evening service in the Gymnasium, which was crowded with students and townpeople.
Students, faculty and townpeople are eligible to membership and no fees.
The University employs Professor Nevin and it is his duty to conduct these choreuses all over Kansas. He as already this year started Unions from other towns and other towns and cities. He meets them regularly and conducts rehearsals.
"The enthusiasm with which Professor Nevin has been greeted in these small towns is great," said Mr. Van Dier vies this morning. "At several of the towns bands and orchestra have been organized through his efforts to further the appreciation of music, and their only joy become carried away with the spirit of the thing and can't get enough."
Several of the men who took part in the Choral Union last year were able to make the Men's Glee Club this year because of having had the practice.
German Verein will be held in Fraser Hall, Room 313, tomorrow evening at eight-fifteen o'clock. A humorous debate will be given by George Baerg, Edwin Hullinger, Lind Anderson and Leon Harms. Election of officers will be hold after the debate. Doughnuts and cider to be served.

Saturday's Football Results
The Weather
Fair tonight and Tuesday, cooler
Tuesday and central portion tonight.
The shortened class periods Friday were a source of inconvenience to the instructors as well as the students. When Prof. Arthur Mitchell, of the department of philosophy, came to class at 9:40 he found that the class had grown tired of waiting and had departed.
When this land tortoise roamed over Kansas, the animal life was much larger. Where tortoises of the present day in this territory weigh only a few pounds, this tortoise of the dim past weighted more than one hundred pounds, this tortoise of the inches long, 13½ inches wide and it stands ten inches high. It was contemporary with such animals as the chinoceros, Curator Martin says.
The work of assembling the parts has been done by Vic Housholder, now employed in the museum under the direction of Mr. Martin.
Mr. Martin says that the skull with its thin and fragile walls which separate almost at every jar, is one of the hardest and most delicate he has worked to make perfect skull and under jaws will be the result of the work at hand. As every bone has to be specially treated and hardened before it can be handled, great patience and care is required in applying the bones from the sandy matrix.
Prof. H. A. Rice on Committed to Inspect Kansas River Conditions
Prof. H. A. Rice of the department of civil engineering, a member of the engineering committee of the Kansas County Commission on Wildlife with width Townsend, U. S. argy engineer of St. Louis and the other members of the committee, for an inspection trip over the water sheds of Neosho river and Neosho river and their tributaries.
Conditions
On this committee are: T. J. Strickler, engineer for the state public utilities commission, chairman, H. B. Walker of Manhattan, state drainage engineer, A. H. Robinson, former chief manager of the Santa Fe and M. Rice.
"On this trip, which will be made in automobiles, we hope to get data on the conditions. In our report we shall suggest means and methods of preventing flood losses. The United States Congress has made an appropriation for preliminary work of this report. We believe that plan feasible, a definite survey probably will be made," Professor Riass told today.
"For years Kansas has suffered from the devastations of the annual floods along her larger rivers. As a result, Kansas government has ever made an appropriation for flood protection Kansas will put forth every effort to come in for part of the benefits. It naturally includes the ability to accomplish any tangible results."
The Flood Congress was organize by Governor Capper about a year ago.
STUDENTS DESIGN, ASSEMBLE
AND SELL LATHES IN FOWLER
Fowler Shops has outlived the time when all its up-to-date and modern machinery must be used exclusively for experimental work. The time has come when the students in the engineering department are turning their efforts to a practical end. The last week of March led to the designing, manufacture and sale of six 14-inch, 6-foot bed, American Quick-Change type lathes.
These lathes are designed and assembled by students doing work in Fowler Shops. They are of standard size, but many also have prints furnished by The American Tool Works Co., Chicago. A deal was closed today with the Automatic Bookkeeping Register Co. of Kansas City whereby all six lathes were sold to the school. You can go to the shop fund and will be paid in purchasing new equipment.
Prospective contributors to the "Sour Owl" are asked to meet in the Daily Kansan office at 2:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. At this time Mr. Davis will explain the field of the publication. 3t

MANY TO HEAR FOSTER
"K. U, and Christianity" Will be His Subject for K. U. Men
On account of the necessity of his attending the national convention of Christian churches early last week Registrar Geo. O. Foster did not give his annual talk to the Y. M. C. A. students as was scheduled for last. Those at instead with lectures overnight at the weekly meeting in Myers Hall.
In the past the annual talk has been very well attended and Hugo Wedell, University secretary of the Y. M., says that in spite of the postponement a large crowd is expected to hear Mr. Foster tomorrow night.
In announcing his subject, "Christianity at the University," Mr. Foster said, "I have taken the old story for my talk but a knowledge of the status of Christianity at the University will fire enthusiasm into the workers. There are seventy-three per cent of the students Christians at the Uri university. This is far more than the 40 students in Do, M. M. C. A. is doing splendid work and we expect to have a thousand students lifted up in the M. W. work or an increase of over twenty per cent over last year's number."
REBERS TEAM WON EASY
GAME ON MCOOK SATURDAY
Although the Kansas team was in Ames Saturday, the football followers of Lawrence were able to see a good game on McCook Field. "Bonnie" Reber, former K. U. star but now coach and manager of athletes at Lawrence high school, scheduled game with Kansas City, Ks., high school team, for afternoon. The game resulted in a victory for the fast Lawrence bunch, 21 to 6.
The work of Reber's team was superior to that of the Kansas City team. Lawrence started scoring in the first half, and he allowed the visitors an opportunity to win.
"Bonnie" has a good team this year, four veterans being in the lineup. His wide experience in athletics is being used to advantage in instructing the men, and those who have kept up with his work expect a championship team at Lawrence high this year.
Forgetful of campus millinery tactics, many a freshman sufered the agony of the paddle at the Lawrence-Kansas City high school game at McCook Field Saturday. The confusing feature of a high school game on the K. U. campus was responsible for some of the negligence, and the victims will ponder well next time before taking the hat from the rack.

WEEK FOR HOME FOLKS
Father and Mother to be Guests of the University in December
CELEBRATE CENTENNIAL
Board of Administration Making Plans Today
K. U., probably celebrates its sem-
centennial year by being "at home"
o father and mother several days
e a week early in December. The
design of administration and Chan-
eller of administration considering a
Father's and Mother's university,
which the whole university would
entertain the fathers and mothers of
Cansas and show them the work of
the University. The tentative plan
is not to interfere with class work, but
we see just what son and daughter are
every day at K. U. and just what K.
J. is doing for son and daughter.
Many suggestions have been made as to celebrating the University's semi-centennial, but apparently none seemed much enthusiasm. One proposal was historical pageant. It seemingly did nothing improving approval. Expense and the lack of novelty appeared as stumbling blocks.
"The plan proposed," said Chancellor Strong this afternoon, "is to have the fathers and mothers of Uni-caller Students spend a week or a day or two in the University Week" at the University. Class work would go on just as usual, except fathers and mothers would visit the class rooms and laboratories. We would have frequent little entertainments and work in different departments and would, to be sure, add a great deal that would be largely entertainment, but on the whole it would show a wide variety of the university at work and play, for the right end of play is an important part of University life."
REHEARSE FOR OPERA
Dates Changed to November 23 and 24—Will be Given at Bowersock Theater
Costumes of superb elegance and painted scenery from New York are only small features of the musical opera, The Chimes of Normandy," presented by School of Fine Arts Nov. 22 and 23. A cast of fifty people presenting the play will of course be the feature of foremost importance. The production is under the direction of Prof. W. Hogan, however, Wendell Foster is to be the manager, and will superintend the details of the business end of the play.
All credit for the direction of the "parts" will go to Mrs. Florence Butter who has had much experience in her work, and was the Dramatic Club director at university at one time. Mrs. Butler's work is now at its height because of the rehearsal which the cast is now going through. The first rehearsal on Thursday night. A rehearsal for one season of the cast will be held this evening.
"The Chimes of Normandy," was first scheduled for Nov. 24 and 25. However, it was announced this morning by the management that it had been necessary to change the date of the event from 22 and 23 to the presentation of the opera will take place on these dates at the Bowersock Theater.
BLAIN GOES TO OTTAWA
Football Star Returns for Last Year on His Home Team
Again has a Kansas conference college swooped down on the K. U. freshman football squad and capped a star. The latest man to leave is Howard Blain of Ottawa who has joined the Ottawa university squad. Blain enrolled in the University at the start of the spring semester. He has had two years experience as a basketball player. In the University eleven before coming to campus practice and with the freshman squad this year his work has attracted attention at center. He weighed about 190 pounds.
Ten days ago Roscoe Brown, an Oklahoma high school star left the University and joined the Friends university squad.
All freshmen who know how to play the piano have the opportunity if using their ability for two hours a week in some sophomore gym class. To be credited, students must credit obtained by three hours of work in the freshman classes.
