MADE SOONERS HUSTLE
Jayhawkers Lost Game, But Gave a Creditable Account of Themselves
NUMBER 36
By Paul Brindel
Although they arrived at 7:15 on the morning following an All-University party, Coach Olcott's returning Jayhawker gridiron warriors were greeted by a crowd of two hundred followers when they reached home.
The rooters showed their spirit by pushing the heavy tourist car near two hundred feet up the track to the station, so that the tired squad would have as little distance as possible to walk to the waiting tally-ho.
Although the game is lost and in the discard, all of the hundred K. U. followers who saw the game say that it was another case of Sooner luck together with a general "off day" of Olcott's machine. Loose tackling was assigned by the Coach after the game for the defeat and there is no doubt that this was half the cause of the fourth Oklahoma victory in five years. The excessive heat did much to wear down the heavy Kansas eleven, but perhaps the most tragic reason was that Kansas forgot to play football the full sixty minutes of the game. For, taking out the awful third quarter when seventen Sooner points were rolled up, the game would have been a K. U. victory as it richly deserved to be. But the third count counts just as the last half at Manhattan two weeks ago.
The game by quill
Kansas was lucky at the start, for by winning the toss they got to receive the ball, and defend the south goal with the brisk southwest wind at their backs. Just before time Oklahoma tied up lined up while an Oklahoma City movie concern ran off seven; hundred feet of film.
First Quarter
The kickoff came at 3:16 o'clock, Geyer booty foring yards to Nelson who wriggled back through the Sooners for thirty yards. Kansas made five yards on the next two plays, Fitzgerald and Riber being the heroes. On the third play of the game, the veteran Montgomery, the backup player, was injured severely that although he remained play after a two minute delay, Coach Owen was obliqued to substitute McCashand a few minutes later.
With the Sooners taking the bale on an intercepted pass by Johnson the Oklahoma attack had a chance to show, but the net result of the Sooner's three tries at the Kansas line was nine yards, and afraid to risk losing the ball so close to their goal, Geyer punted ten-four yards to the middle of the field. Lindsay's first successful pass to Heath netted 16 yards, and the down of seven Rokey made it to a run from behind the line, and then Lindsay completed another successful flip to Fitzgerald for 8 yards. With the ball on the forty yard line, and fourth down, Lindsey tried a drop kick but the boot was short by ten yards.
With the ball going to the Sooners on the 20 yard line, the Oklahoma offense opened up, Foster making 25 yards on a fake through the line, followed by consistent gains by McCain through the same spot. With the Sooner passes fittest utterly against the strong wind and alert K. U. ends, Geyer attempted to do what Lindsey did, hitting the 45 yard线 but missed the bar by ten yards, Neilsen grabbing it and running it back to the 15 yard line. Lindsey punted down the field to Johnson who returned the ball to the Kansas 42 yard line. Again Geyer tried to get his alrenear attack going but failed, and was obliterated to punt. The quarter ended with the ball on the Jayhawker's 42 yard line. The feature of the open attack of the failure of the Sooner passes compared to the great success Kansas had with this play. What gains the Sooners did make were on end runs and line plays, while Kansas made practically no distance on their usual line play.
Second Quarter
McCasland went in for Montgomery at right end, and Geyer punted 60 yards out of bounds. Kansas putting the ball into play on its 20 yard line. Then started the Jayhawker march, eighty yards down the field, for the first touchdown of the game. With Reber, Fitzgerald, B. Gillespie, and Neilsen all making long gains through the Sooners on
end runs and line plunges, the ball was brought to the thirty-five yard line. Then Lindsey started a variation of his attack, sending a ten yard pass to B. Gillespie, mixed with two tries at the line which brought the ball to the Sooner twenty yard line. With Reber playing out, Lindsey shot a low pass down the line. The ball hit the eager McCasland who sought to intercept it, but bounced right into the hands of the Kansas end who turned and beat it for all he was worth the remaining five yards across the Oklahoma line, for the first touchdown of the game. Lindsey kicked out to Fitzgerald and Strothes made a perfect goal, bringing the score to Kansas 7, Oklahoma 0.
Fifty-Five Yard Pass
With another touchdown in sight on the Sooner twenty yard line, Fitzgerald fumbled twice, and the second time McCain recovered. Dismayed by their narrow escape, the Sooners staged a real comeback, getting their forward passes to going at last. With the ball seventy yards from their goal, "Spot" Geyer covered two thirds of the distance with a miracle fifty-five yard pass to the flying McCashand who grabbed it on the run with his finger tips. Although downed after a short gain, the damage was done for the ball was on the K U. 25 yard line and the team evidently played by the lucky pass blow up for instillment. Another pass and two line gains brought the ten yard line and in a last desperate stand, the Sooners were held for a scant six yards in three downs On the fourth down Johnson called for an end run around Heath, and aided by magnificent interference Geyer swung around the K. U. enforced the tying touchdown. Geyer counted the goal and the score was 7 to 7.
The half ended a minute later but too late to save the Sooner score, although because of a difference in the officials watches it is doubtful whether or not the Sooner score was not made after time was up.
Third Quarter
With the game starting practically all over again at the beginning of the second half, Bennie Owen's pupils showed that their second touchdown was not a fluke, by working the forward pass attack for the only touchdown they really earned. Getting the ball on Strother's kickoff on the thirty yard line, just three minutes was necessary before the touchdown that gave Oklahoma their lead was over. Geyer missed the goal and Kansas cheered up for there was still a good chance to win on a touchdown and goal, the Sooner's lead being only 13 to 7.
Then "old man fluke" got bursy with a vengeance, and by the wield tackling of the Olcotties, handed Oklahoma the touchdown that cost the game. The score came when "Hap" Johnson took Lindsay's long punt on his own thirty yard line and raced through the entire Kansas队 reemblance of any interference by the team. Sooner quarter's course was straight down the middle of the field, and although tackled at least six times, he made his run of sixty five yards with little trouble. Geyer made the goal giving the Sooners a lead of 20 to 7 and the game was gone. Five minutes later in an effort to show the big crowd how he had beaten Texas, Geyer dropped back to his 37 yard line and playfully booted the ball across on a place kick. Although the ball played well, the Sooner fullback was aided in his fellows by being directly in front of the goal and having the wind behind him. The gloomy period ended. Oklahoma 23, Kansas 7.
Fourth Quarter
Although defeated, Captain James men gave the big Sooner crowd the scare of their lives by staging a great fourth quartar comeback. With one Kansas touchdown across, and another threatening, Bennie Owen hurriedly jerked his several substation and sent back the Sooner regulars to attack the Jayhawks in his anxiety, the Sooner leader attempted to run in the injured Montgomery, costing his team a 15 yard penalty.
Fast Goes In
The Crimson and Blue rally started when Nelson grabs the Grey's return punt on the Kansas 40 yard line. Two line gains by Lindsay and Lester Gillespie brought a K. U. first down. A short pass, Wood to Lindsey gave the "Pride of Kingfisher" a chance to get away. Due to his bum leg Lindsey was finally downed from behind by the speeding Sooner end, but not until he had the ball to the 14 yard line. Exhausted by playing practically the entire four quarters, Carlo Ocott pulled Lindsay, sending in Fast. "Jick" Fast repaid the compliment by smashing through the Sooner line for 14 yards on the next play, for a touchdown. Strother teed the goal and the margin of defeat was brought to 23 to 14

Cross-Country Trips, Arranged by Doctor Goetz, Attract Many
HIKES FOR WOMEN POPULAR
Cross country hikes are the popular form of exercise for the women of the University at present. Clad in gym suits they start out from the Gymnasium every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 4:30 and go across country, under fences and over fences as cleverly as any boy. Some of them walk at a some of them run, frequently in competition. These are not regular classes but voluntary groups out for the fun.
"Prospects for all kinds of women's sports are better this year than they have ever been before," said Dr. Alice L. Goetz, head of the department of women's physical education. "The weather is ideal just at present for our cross-country hikes, and we are trying to make the most of it while it lasts. I are especially interested in women and women interested in our sports as well as the freshmen and sophomores. The gymnasium belongs to the whole student body, not to one or two classes alone."
"I want to form archery and tennis clubs to compete against each other, and I see no reason why we should not have inter-sorority games just as the men have their inter-fraternity football and baseball games. Just as we do with the cockerels we start hockey. If the teams will take an interest in these sports the association can give letters just as the men do.
"The women have been taking a great deal of interest in tennis this year and numbers of them play very well. If women who wish to form clubs will come to me I will be glad to them organize and hold matches. We will also weather we are trying to have all out door exercise possible, and the women are playing every day on our courts behind the gymnasium."

All Great Music Handed Down From Early Meiodies Says
LIEBLING PRAISES K. U.
Critic
"The department of music at K. U. is to be ranked among the finest of its kind in the United States; it should be placed along side of the departments of music at Columbia, Harvard and Yale;" said Leonard Liebick, editor of the Musical Course which he began his lecture, Saturday afternoon in Fraser Hall on "Beethoven and Other Players."
"With Dean Butler and Arthur Nevin as instructors, your work at the University should be of the highest order—of the same caliber as that carried on by Edward MacDowell, at Columbia university. Mr. Nevin declined to dedicate a famous throughout the world as a musical critic, and is editor of one of the foremost musical papers in the world.
Proceeding to his theme for the afternoon, Dr. Liebling said his hobby in the course of his musical criticism was collecting photographs he had become, a "tum collector."
Sitting down to the piano, the critic then brought to the attention of his hearers many remarkable coincidences in the sphere of musical themes. Illustrating his comments on the piano, Mr. Liebling showed how certain central themes, which originated long ago—some of them have been lost—had been used by such great masters as Beethoven, Bach, Schumann, Mendelssohn, and even by writers of the modern popular airs.
"I won't be home until morning," for instance, originally was a Bedouin love song. Later the themes was used by Beethoven and other great composers. In recent years, some rantime quack seized upon the air and made it over into the well-known popular air. The Russian national hymn, by Haydn, is closely related to "Ach du lieber Augustine," according to Mr. Liebling. Other famous themes have been used time and time again by composers of world fame.
Mr. Liebling made it clear that he did not accuse Beethoven, Mozart and Schumann of actual plagiarism. The masters, he said, had simply borrowed certain themes, which, because of their intrinsic virtue, had been handed down from the past. He took a look and developed in an original way the ideas their personalities to the germ work and making a truly great work.
"Why try to declare our independence of the great minds in the musical world?" he asked. "We do not dechare our independence of Edison in the scientific world. We do not try to throw off the yoke of Newton in the astronomical world. Why should we disregard Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, and other leaders in the musician's world?"
The musical editor laid emphasis on the value of studying the great music.
Speaking of Chopin, Mr. Liebling said that he could not find any instances of "plagiarism" in the great French master. Chopin, he opined, was so delightfully original that he never, except in his early works, made use of themes borrowed from other sources.

About one hundred Big Sisters were hostesses to as many Little Sisters, Saturday afternoon at Westminster Hall. The rooms were tastefully decorated with red berries, bitter sweet, and yellow chrysanthemums. Coffee, sandwiches and saat'd peanuts were served.
Big Sisters Entertain
Walter Shively, '19. School of Engineering, managed to get away without being paddled on the Hill for not wearing his freshman cap. However, when he reached his rooming house, he was called before a "kangaroo court" to plead his case. The judge found him guilty and sentenced the culprit to two hits from every one present.
WILL VOTE ON DATE RULE
AT WOMEN'S MEETING FRIDAY
At a mass meeting of the women of the University Friday noon, it was decided by an unanimous vote that the question of the date rule should be voted on next Friday, November 5. The amendment to be voted on is the following in effect: On Friday and Saturday nights the doors of all houses where women students stay shall not be closed until 11 o'clock, but on Sunday night the hour shall be ten o'clock.
This proposed amendment does not effect in any way the mid-week date rule. It was brought before the University women because of the complaint that it was almost impossible to get back home from the movies before eleven o'clock. Since there is no occasion to stay out on 'ate on Sunday evenings, it has been proposed for the sake of Monday's lessons to cut the hour one-half hour shorter on this night.
SEVEN STUDENTS ENLIST
Strength of University Company of
Kansas National Guard Only
76 Man
Capt. Frank E. Jones, commanding Company M. of the K. N. G., said yesterday that the student organization had received seven recruits in the last two weeks, but there is still a number of vacancies to be filled in local guards. Several graduates of last year have not been discharged yet, and until then other vacancies in the company must be filled.
The present strength of the University company is 78 men, but only about seventy-five per cent of the men are present for duty. Full company strength is supposed to be about one-hundred men exclusive of the officers. The company is well discipled, and thirty-five of the number have qualified as experts, sharpshooters and marksmen.
Some inducement is offered to men desiring to enter the guard service. Members of the company are allowed small pay while on drills, and are paid three cents a shot on the target-range. The men are compensated for loss of time whenever the company is called into active service. In addition, the state exempts miltitamen from a poll-tax.
For the gymnasium work required of students, the drill in the company fills nearly all the college requirements. Captain Jones considers the course in military training very valuable to young men, and hopes to up to full strength within the next year. The course desires to enlist or seeking information, will find Captain Jones at the Fowler Shops.

Leader, Dean F. W. Blackmar.
General subject; "Did Child Teach Jesus?
Monday, "The Law of Love."
Tuesday, "Individualism and

Wednesday, "Wisdom and Poverty," Thursday, "Christian Doctrine as the Foundation of Social Organization." Friday, "No Monopoly on Teachings of Jesus."
“There is a feeling that it is im- possible for nations and business organiza tions to be Christian,” said Dean Blackmar this morning: “some say there is no organization which can be Christian except Socialism. The teachings of Jesus can be applied to no particular organization, Christ established no dogma, creed; men have done both. Christ's doctrines apply to every class of people of every age. It is impossible to get the religion of Christ by taking up a statement here and there; all His teachings must be taken as a whole. His teachings will transform this life like leaven if we will only let it dwell within us.”
ALL K. U. MADE MERRY Twenty-two Hundred Danced and Were Entertained at All-University Party
More than twenty-two hundred people' attended the All-University Halloween'en party in the Gym Saturday night. That the immense crowd was handled without confusion, and that they were capably entertained during the event is proof that the event was a success—the biggest success, by the way, yet accomplished by Mrs. Eustace Brown in University social activity; for Saturday's partyhip initiative; for the Party, both in attendance and in the excellence of the entertainment provided.
An audience which filled to overflowing the improvised theater on the second floor of the Gym witnessed the "stunt program." Contrary to the hopes of the management, the late arrival of the guests made necessary the postponement of the program until a full hour after the time set. Misses Ada Dykes and Rose King, in a scene from J. M. Barrie's movie "Bob," with a bit of well done child acting, Miss Bessie Noyes Raymond, who sang a number of Scotch songs, "got over" beautifully. The witch scene from "Macbeth," presented by Misses Salome Langmade, Arline Griffiths, and Elizabeth Ulrich, proved to be sufficiently creepy for all purposes.
Sword Dance Pleased
One of the most popular numbers on the program was the double sword dance performed by James McNault and Hazel Pratt. Prof. Howard T. Hill's reading of Burens "Tam O' Shanter," with burlesque dances and pantomime by nine University men, made a decided hit. The concluding number, in which fifteen "Mount Oread Witches" and Professor Downing led the audience in singing the "Crimson and the Blue," brought the program to a "peppery" end, and united the assembled guests in a spirit of good fellowship afterwards displayed on the dancing floor. Owing to the delay occasioned in beginning the "stunt program," the reception of guests by Mrs. Brown and a committee of students and faculty was omitted from the evening's activity.
The Highland Fling
immediately after the grand march, a high and fling was performed by forty costumed students in a manner which met with the approval of the vast crowd which packed the gallery and fringed the edge of the dancing floor. Then came three dances for the costumed guests—some hundred or so—during which the faculty committee of three awarded prizes for the best costumes. Afterward, a troup of performers in gypsy costume performed a series of dances in which Misses Gladys Elliott and Helen Clark did solo work. Five couples of children also did a fancy dance before the regular dancing program of the evening began.
Refreshments. Too
Immediately after the gypsy dance, and continuing during the remainder of the evening, refreshments were served and fortunes told on the second floor of the Gym. Those who did not care to dance took part in the amusement here; and tired dancers slipped down between numbers for a refreshing drink of cider. The entertainment continued until midnight.
To Mrs. Eustace Brown, who directed the general arrangements for the party; to Miss Helen Rhoda Hoopes, who had charge of the stunt program; and to "Mac" McCanles, who directed the music, is due the great share of credit for the success of the student committees; also those of older versity young men and young women who labored conscientiously to make the affair what it was, should a deal of the glory go.
