Endow Young Lady
Mary Elizabeth Doub does not like to have her photograph taken while yet so young and the Daily Kansan tells her that she must take his camera, time and again, upon the future K. U. co-ed and with equal determination Mary Elizabeth refused to keep her eyes open long enough to be a glimpse of the bright blue eyes.
The clicking of the camera shutter finally roused the curiosity of the baby and she opened her eyes just long enough for a good exposure. Hence the picture. The "Doubting Thomases" of the senior class no

existence of a real Senior Class lady. Thanksgiving vacation did not agree very well with Mary Elizabeth. She had a father on Sunday. She had to argue her out of the idea of aspiring for leadership at some future date as a K, U. woman cheerleader. Charles O. had a quiz this morning.
Money Still Coming In
Charles Sturtevant, chairman of the Senior Baby Committee, which body is collecting ten-cent pieces from every member of the class for a memorial fund to Mary Elizabeth, is still carrying a little steel bank around with him ready to collect from the lingering senior members.
"It is not necessary," said the chairman, "to wait for the bank to call at your door. Just pass a dime to any of the committee and I'll ring the bank. Let us get the money in so that it can begin drawing interest."
The committee members are: Chas. S. Sturtavent, Opal Holmes, Josephine Jaque, Ross Busenbark, Guy M. Lamar, Glen Alt, and Paul Rathvon. Dimes may be left with the senior's name at the Kansan office.

JAYHAWK A WATER BIRD
Gets Tiger Scalp in Sea of Mud in Final Game of Season
The football season of 1915 has passed out of the present into the past, and to the many followers of the Jayhawk bird the blaze of glory ended sweetly though slightly dampened.
The First Knot
Adrian Lindsay, the Kansas star back, whom Olcott had been grooming for a week before the game, proved the undoing of the followers of the Tiger. On a field, no in a lake, Lindsay managed to balance himself with one foot in the water long enough to make two successful drop shots which are acknowledged as never being worse, the Kansas machine propped it outplay the Tigers in every department of the game.
In the first half the Kansas marched down the field, plowing through the Tiger line, and completing successfully short forward passes. Fast and Lindsey made good gains by bucking the line. Lindsey and Wood were responsible for most of gains by the forward pass route. Before the game was well under way, Missouri found the need of punting, and the ball was thrown high. The ball was hard retrieved behind the Tiger goal line, where a Kansan downed the Missouri player, the first knot in the tail of the tiger had been tied, even though a tiny one of but two points.
Though a drizzling rain had begun with the game, it did little to bother either players or spectators until the middle of the second quarter. Ever see the rain come down in gusts, beating into anyone with out a covering? That is what happened. It didn't rain, it poured.
A Mud Soaked Ball
It was after the field had become covered with water, and the ball had become heavy and water soaked, that Lindsey made his two drop kicks, both from about the twenty-five yard line.
The second half slowed both teams down considerably, as fast playing was an impossibility. End runs were out of the question, because of the slippery condition of the ground. For ward passes were difficult because of the onewall ball. Even flipping the ball into play caused the team to make feat because of the heaviness of the oval, and the uncertain footing of the center. Standing with out-stretched hands, calling for a punt, the pigskin skidded toward Lindsey on the water. In the melse that followed, Speelman, the Mizzo captain, grabbed the ball and darted for the goal thirty yards away. Wood tackled, but too late, the ball was crossed. No goal was kicked. The game ended in a drizzling rain on Missouri's twenty yard line, with the ball'n her possession.
NOTES OF THE GAME
The small number of rooters who accompanied the team, together with the abundance of pep they displayed, was commented upon by the Missouri supporters. Never has more pep been undertaken than three hundred Kansans who, though they had half frozen, continued to stand up and cheer with all their might as the team swam about during the game. There was no lack of Kansas spirit on the part of those who accompanied the team to Columbia. In addition to this, there was the head of the procession, the rooters snake-danced about the field between halves. Tiger supporters watched with envy.
The players themselves, although they had to play in the mud and rain, were able to get into dry clothes as soon as the game was over. A number of them who worked in Lawrence, were unable to get dry until they returned Friday morning. After the game there were frequent clashes between backers of the two teams, each claiming that had there been a win. So many had been able to do much better than they did. It was an alibi that worked both ways.
Practically every member of the band is having his instrument repaired, as a result of the soaking it re-treated and remained to play throughout the game.
The parade given in the morning by the various schools of the University at Columbia was the best seen in years according to those who had attended a number of games at Columbia in previous years.
The roots say it was a great game, a great trip one they will always remember.
