SOONERS ARE CONFIDENT PARTY PLANS COMPLETE
Believe They Will Pull a Few Feathers From Jayhawker
Bird
Special to the Kansan.
Norman, Okla. October 27—Sooner students want to herald to the world that they will win over Kansas by two or three touchdowns, but Bennie Owen seems to feel; otherwise. At least he is putting the team that bulldogged the Longhorns through a course that it seems must fit it for the Jayhawk bunch, who claim the Valley championship on one hand and point to a plethora of bear stories on the other.
Contrain to this time last year, when half the Sooner band were shot to pieces by the fierce charges of the Texas forwards, the lineup is apparently free from injuries. Whatever game began got the slight injuries ironed out, and are as ready to take the Jayhawkers on as is possible.
Judging from the style of game presented in the park this week open play, including many flops will characterize the Oklahoma end of Saturday's struggle, as has been the case at Columbia and Dallas. If the Kansans are as proficient as is reported in the knocking down of passes Bennie is training his men to fall back on other lines of play. End runs, trick plays, and even an occasional lineback will be provided for the entertainment of the visiting team, and all will be started from a variety of formations. Some of the Claude Reeds' plays have been resurrected and will perhaps serve in an emergency.
Will Buck Line, Too
Some of the most optimistic Sooner supporters are predicting a game very similar to that of last year. But most of them look for Oklahoma to go into the lead on her open play, and for Kansas to fail to come up, even though they have tremendous punch. It may be that superior weight of the Northerners will push over one or two touchdowns, or get the ball into position for a goal field or two, but the recuperative ability of the Oklahomaans displayed at Da'ls will serve to get over as many or more touchdowns and to wear down the Kansas fighters.
The Chancellor Pledges
Phi Alpha Delta, law fraternity,
announces the pledging of Chancellor
Frank Strong, as an honorary member.
Seven Are Veterans
Seven of the men on the team are among those who tied up with K. U. 16 to 16 a year ago. And those seven recognize that Nebraska will have a worthy rival in the men from Oread and that Oklahoma will have to flip her flips with utmost ability to get by the long-armed Kansas. The drag-time victory over the Aggies is considered in part a carefully conched result, and it is feared that the Kansas secret practice may result in the opening of plays unimagined previously. Certain it is that some of the hidden-ball plays may get away with the Sooners if their efficacy in the hands of the scrubs is any criterion.
The Texas victory served to increase the morale of the victors, but it has burdened them with no confidence. Even "All-America" Hott tears into the freshmen as seriously as if a crown of laurel and the plaudits of the students were not worrying him. And the scrubs are fighting a little harder, for some of them think that they may get a chance at the Jayhawk's tail, and each wants a handful of feathers. But it seems doubtful that more than the eleven who start the game will finish. Bennie respects the training of Coach Olcott too much to try second string men unless in dire emergency or Hindenberg victory.
The lineup is: l.e., Fields; l.h., Anderson; i.g., Phillips; c, Bell; r.g., W. Hott; t.r., O. Hott; t.r., Montgomery; i.f., Foster; t.r., Foster; b.f., Geyer; r.h., McCain.
Substitutes: McCashald, full or half; Cline, half; Lively, half; McFernan, half; Murcard, end; S Montenegro, end; Nunn, num; Doug'as, center.
Phi Delta Phi Announce Pledges
The Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity announces the pledging of Thomas N. Mulloy, Lincoln; Alton Gumbiner, Lawrence; H. L. Miller, Horton; Robert Hemphill, Norton.
Everything is Ready for Second Big All-University Party in Gymnasium

The party is absolutely free to all students, faculty members, and persons connected with the administrative forces of the school. Students are requested to enter the Gym at the northeast door; and the faculty members—or "guests"—are asked to enter at the north-west door. Through this arrangement suitable cloak rooms may be provided.
The party will begin promptly at 7:30 o'clock, with a "stunt program" to be given on a specially constructed stage built on the second floor of the gym. The program is as follows: A scene from Barrie's "Peter Pan."

Immediately after the stunt program, the reception for students and faculty will be given on the main playing floor of the Gym. Mrs. Eustace Brown and a committee of students and faculty will receive.
Following the reception, thirty costumed performers, among whom are representatives of every fraternity and sorority on the Hill, as well as an equal number of independents, will dance a highland fling.
After the Scottish number, the dancing floor will be given over to those guests who have worn special costumes, and a committee composed of Mrs. Cora G. Lewis, Prof. J. N. van der Vries, and Miss Maria L. Benson will award prizes for the best costumes worn by a man, by a woman, and by a couple. Down town merchants will furnish the prizes.
Word was received this morning of the death on Sunday of Judge P. B. Gillette, father of Josephine Gillette, '18, College. Mr. Gillette died in Wichita. His home was in Kingman.
Starting with Monday, November 1, the Kansan will be carried by University men. The entire change of routes may cause some confusion and a few missed papers. In case you are one of the unfortunate ones please phone your name and number to K. U. 25 some time after 1:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon and the error will be corrected. This change is in keeping with the Daily Kansan's policy of giving employment to as many deserving students as possible. Already y5 students work in the printing and mailing departments. The addition of five carriers will make this number 20. And this should not be confused with the editorial positions which are honorary, carrying no salaries.-Editor.

WANTS SPIRIT "WOKEUP" That Is "Cussin' Tom's" Justiication for His Tirade Against the University
"I want the spirit up there woke up."
--the Valley of Unconcern.
"The K. U. faculty throws a damper on all sorts of athletic endeavor."
Here are some of the things Smith is quoted as saying in the Post:
"The spirit of "99 is gone—ost in the Valley of Unconcern."
When the Kansas reporter told Smith he believed he didn't know what he was talking about, Smith told him that "you must be some wise little boy."
This is "Cussin' Tom" Smith's justification for the article that appeared in the Kansas City Post last night, quoting him as saying that K U. spirit was gone, and that the students should get some of "the fight ingirit of 99," which was the last year Smith played on the team.
Frances Savery left Thursday afternoon for Kansas City where she will spent several days visiting her parents.
Miss Carrie Watson, librarian, is in Wichita this week attending the Kansas Library Association.
"You can find K. U. spirit in the
itens. It's been buried for ten
ten."
The members of the Pi Upsition fraternity entertained the members of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority at a dance from seven until eight o'clock Thursday morning.
The Chi Omega sorority enter trained the Sigma Phi Sigma frater- nity Thursday evening between seven and eight o'clock.
"There's not much hope for Kansas. I know they've won all their games so far this season. But the big ones are coming. You can quote me on this prediction: Kansas will lose to Oklahoma, Saturday, and they also will lose to Nebraska and Missouri."
Friends of Smith are amazed at his attitude, and believe it is a misdirected and ridiculous attempt to correct a fancied condition which he believes is wrong. Smith played four years on the football team, '95 to '98, and comes back almost every year to give the team some of the benefit of his wide knowledge of the game. Older students will remember the highly amusing speech Smith made in church two years ago, telling how they used "to do it when I was in school."
Anyway, the least that can be said of Smith and the Post is that they 'lack originality. The same old stuff was pulled last year.
One of the many inconsistencies of the statements made is Smith's recommendation that the students get back the "never-give-in" bulldog idea of '99," which he follows with the prediction of defeat from Nebraska and Okahaha. Students are wondering if Smith's prediction is following the advice he offers, and if it is considered disqualified for a student to admit defeat before a game, what it would be considered when an alumnus, and an old football star at that, does the same.
His interview, and the Post's tirade, show a surprising lack of knowledge of true conditions. It is inaccurate, unjust, unfair, and untrue, and is damaging to the University. Pep at the University is as good this year as it could have been in '99 or any other year.
DEBATE IS RECEIVED
QUESTION FOR NEBRASKA
DEERATE IS RECEIVED
"Resolved; That the United States should immediately and substantially increase her armament," is to be the question for dual debate between Kansas and Nebraska on Friday December 10. This information was contained in a telegram received this morning by Prof. Howard T. Hill, of the department of public speaking, from the Nebraska Debating Council. The term armament is taken to mean both equipment and forces.
TEAMS LEAVFS FOR SOUTH
Tryouts for the two Kansas teams will be held within a week or ten days, and the teams will be announced the first week in November. Students wishing to try out are required to one Kansas. Kansas will send one team to Lincoln, while another will speak in Lawrence.
Twenty-six Jayhawk Warriors off for Battle With Sooners
Saturday
A squad of twenty-six football warriors, accompanied by Coaches Olcott, Bond and Manager Hamilton left for southern territory last night. The exact stopping place of the Jay-hawker squad for the next twenty-four hours has not been determined, but it is likely that the high school gridiron in Oklahoma City will be used for signal practice today. The team will not arrive in Norman until a few hours before the game.
A signal practice and walking through the plays against the freshmen characterized the practice last night. The five hundred students in the bleachers made a little excitement for the team and made the practice "pepperier" than usual. No scrimmage was attempted for Olcott thought that his squad was a ready crippled enough.
Lindsey May Get In
Instead of practicing with his teammates yesterday Lindsey was sent home to bed for the afternoon. His hip is in a very bad condition but the chances are that he will get in the game for a part of the time at least. If Adrian has anything to do with it he will be in the whole game for he comes from Kingfisher. Qila captains have come from Kingfisher; captains have come from Kingfisher; brings a desire to the heart of Lindsey to troop on the Spinner sound.
The team has none of the overconfidence on this trip which characterized their play at Manhattan. They know that they are in for a battle and if anyone is sure of a victory it will have to be on the other side of the fence. But Coach Occlott told the eight hundred rooters who gathered to see the team leave, that Kansas had a good chance to win. The secret practice and coaching against the Sooners' style of play makes the students believe in the coaches statement.
Send the Daily Kansan home.
No definite line up was announced for the game before leaving Lawrence. The same line-up which started the Aggie game is the possible combination now.
The following players were in the squad which left: Captain James, Reber, Groft, Keeling, Strother, Lewilin, Heath, Lindsey, Bernard and Michael. McCormick, Holt, Fitzgerald, Fast, Wilson, Robins, Pa'kowski, Hammond, Harley, Meyn, W. Smith, Frost, Todd, Reedy and Wood.
Lineup Not Announced
TO GIVE LECTURE-RECITAL
Leonard Liebling, Musical
Genius, to Entertain Students
in Fraser Tomorrow
Leonard Liebling, editor of the Musica' Courier of New York City, probably the most famous of America's musical journals, will give a free lecture-recital to the music lovers of Lawrence in Fraser Chapel Saturday afternoon, at 2 p. m., to last an hour.
Mr. Liebling comes to Lawrence at the personal request of Dean Butler of the School of Fine Arts. Both Dean Butler and Professor Skilton regard Mr. Liebling's lecture-recital as the musical treat of the season. His subject, "Beethoven and the Plagiarists," is, according to Professor Ski ton, a happy choice, as Mr. Liebling has made an intensive study of Beethoven and his disciples. During the lecture, the speaker will interpret favorite passages on the piano.
"Ibleilb heurs up his audiences wherever he goes wi** " "kien wii and power to make his listeners enjoy themselves," says Professor Skill.

Talks to Geology Club
**TAKES TO GEology CLUB**
H. P. Cady, professor of chemistry,
**the Geology Club**, in the **museum Enrichment" from the chemists' viewpoint, at the meeting of the Geology Club Wednesday afternoon. He showed how the lower veins of ore are developed by the flooding of the loose material, in the large fissures, to the bottom. This impoverishes the upper strata, but concentrates the rice ores at the lower level, thus economizing in the labor of mining.

Wednesday evening. The twenty
members who were present played Halloween games and told stories.
Doughnuts and cider furnished the
refreshments at the close of the

SQUAD IN OKLAHOMA With 200 Rooters, Lindsay Feeling Better, Kansas Expects to Win
Bv special wire to Kansan:
Oklahoma City, Oct. 29—With Lindsey declaring he never felt better in his life, and the rest of the squad of twenty-six men just acting to face Bennie Owen's Sooners tomorrow, it was a fighting Kansas team that arrived in Oklahoma City today at noon today.
The men are still; talking about the rally at the Santa Fe station last night and are confident that they will be able to more than justify the hopes of the home-folks in tomorrow's game. With Lindsey feeling so much better, not even Cochitl immelf will know the definite K. U. line that will start against the Sooners tomorrow until after this afternoon's workout at the Oklahoma City League Baseball park. The weather will cut a considerable figure; the Sooners will eventually will start, for with a rainy day and muddy field Coach Olcott will start his bunch of heavy weights, Lindsey and L. Gillespie at half and Wood at quarter. Another great day like this will probably mean Lindsey at the quarter-back position and Fitzgerald playing with L. Gillespie at half.
Kansas is expecting to muster a almost a "terrible 200" root section tomorrow for there were at least twenty-five students who came through with the team, while word from Tulsa is that several hundred Jayawker alumni in that city are coming on a special train to Norman tomorrow to see the two Gillespie brothers in action.

The following new members were elected: Eugene Dyer, Oscar Reser, Henry Schmutz, M. H. Reed, J. P. Harris, and John Gingrich.
Resolved that President Wilson's recognition of General Caranza, as president of Mexico was a wise one, will be the subject for discussion at the meeting next Thursday night. The presentation will be presented by A. R. Wilson and Henry Schmutz and the negative by William Crowley and Neal Ireland.
FORMER GRADUATE RETURNS
FOR RESULTS OF ROCK TESTS
J. B. Marcellus, C. E. '04, division engineer for the Association of American Portland Cement Manufacturing companies, visited the University Tuesday to get the result of the rock tests made by the civil engineering department. The organization with which Mr. Marcellus is connected represents about ninety-five per cent of the Portland cement manufacturers in the United States. The specific object of his visit was to get a line on the rocks of this state with regard to their utility as materials for road construction. The civil engineering department has conducted a thorough examination of all the principal rocks to be found in Kansas, the aim of the tests being to ascertain the comparative efficiency of the different materials for paving purposes.
