UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON OCTOBER 25, 1915.
MADE JAYHAWK FIGHT Aggies Put up Stiff Resistance to Onslaught of Olcott's
Men
As one hundred Kansas students, saw a special train leaving Lawrence Saturday morning bearing three hundred of their fellow rooters, their band and, best of all, their team, little did they realize that Kansas was going to be put to a crucial test before the sun set upon them in the Valley. Afterward, three hundred on board the train any wiser than the hundred left on the station platform whose hearts were on the train.
The confidence of the trainload of Jayhawks caused much merriment among the rooters themselves. The team shared in the confidence. Opinions differed only in the size of the score. Many there were who thought that Olcott would use all second string men and run up only a small score. Others thought that a large lap-opsided figure would tell the tale while still others—well, everyone had his own guess.
Nothing happened before the game to shatter the confidence of anyone. The sight of the Aggie roots at the depot; the mingling of the purple and white with the crimson and blue; the parade up town behind the band; the relating of dope stories with some opponent, all tended toward the same thing. Kansas was a sure winner. How large would the score be?
Kansans Were Sure
Now it happens that the Argies also had a little pep instilled in their systems before this time. It was not confidence. They were not sure of victory. Theirs was a determination: one that was best expressed by placards posted everywhere "The Argies Fight."
In addition to this the Farmers had another goal to be sought on this day. They were to be the hosts of a few thousand visitors for a few hours and no steps could be left taken to repay all for their visit to the city, school and game. The whole population of the quiet city entered into the spirit of the day. Manhattan arose early. The stores prepared for the rush in business which they knew would be theirs before and after the game. Hotels, restaurants, "chillshacks", in fact, every style of eating house prepared for a rushing business.
Long before noon strange autos began to line up around the hotels and on either side of the street. Impromptu tourists were standing on the street corner or in the hotel lobby by discussing their travels, the number of blow-outs they had on the trip and the record time they would have made if—they had. Cars crowded to capacity stopped in front of fraternity halls, where a plowing of supplies the stuttering of the banjo or the drumming of a ukulele ceased long enough for the visiting brothers and sisters to be welcomed then their efforts were bent more than ever to entertain the visitors.
In the spirit of the day and in the Aggies' entertainment Kansas lost herself completely, only to be found and awakened by a journey to the athletic field. The same spirit of confidence which started from Lawrence with the Jayhawkers followed them to the field and into the opening of the game. It was the worst opponent Joe Gattskill had as he tried to install the new three hundred rooters. But as a result "over-confidence" got out on to the field and almost caused trouble before being downed by the Jayhawk.
Were Over-Confident
The Bender machine started into the game from the first whistle and stuck with it to the last. They forced Lindsey to punit on the fourth down or else lose the ball every time the Kansans got possession of the oval in the initial period. It was the Aggies who made first down in the opening quarter and also completed a forward pass for a short gain.
The Aggies Fought
Captain James' men showed in numerous instances that luck was on their side. Right at the first of the game when Kansas failed to gain, Lindsey punted 45 yards to Hartwig who allowed Reber to recover the ball. But when with striking distraction he could not make a first down and had to surrender the ball. A tackle swing netted the Aggies five yards after which Hartwick punted thirty-five yards to Wood who returned ten.
Lindsey and Nielsen advanced eight yards but Kansas was caught holding and received a fifteen yard setback. Wood then lost five yards. Lindsey punted out of danger and the Aggies had made a first down. The Kansans started their work and in three dows had made a first down. The Kansans then forced Hartwig to punt and Lindsey returned ten yards. A failure to gain and a fifteen yard penalty caused Lindsey to punt 45 yards.
Lindsey Kicks Well
Lindsey Ackes Well
A fake play was caught before the Aggies got started but they came back with a forward pass for three yards. They punted 25 yards to Wood who sneaked under the Aggie ends for five yards, but some Jay-hawker held and another fifteen yard setback was given Ocott's men. Lindsey then punted 45 yards and Reber was waiting to down the Aggie safety in his tracks. One play around each end and one in the center netted only six yards and Hartwig again punted 35 yards. Lindsey returned with a punt 43 yards to Sullivan who eluded three tacklers for 12 yards. Two plays through left tackle netted three yards and a forward pass was tried and failed. Hartwick punited to Lindsey who was down on his own twenty-five yard line just as the quarter ended.
Randall Runs 80 Yards
Lindsey started the second quarter with a twenty yard gain around left end. Nielsen made a slight gain after which Lindsey punted out of bounds, the ball going to the Agries on their own twenty yard line. Here it was that Randall got hold of the pigskin from Sullivan behind the line and toore around right end, fell off the ground before going for his eighty yard run for the Jayhawker goal. He kicked his own goal.
Holt and Todd were sent in for Lindsey and Wood but this did not stop the Aggies for they opened up a 35 yard pass and got away with it. Here they were penalized fifteen yards. After two exchange of punts the Aggies had the ball in the center of the field, a forward pass was attempted but Todd broke it up and made ten yards gain with it. A see-saw back and forth during the rest of the half gave no team the advantage and gave neither side a chance to score. The half ended with the ball in K. U.'s possession on her own 33-yard line.
Heath Goes Over
Lindsey and Wood went back in at the start of the second half and a punting duel started again with the advantage on the Kansas side in distance and returning of punts. Kansas worked the ball down to the Aggie in the end of the game, trying fake ticks and passes and the Aggies punted out of danger. An Aggie grabbed a Kansas pass for no gain but James recovered a Farmer fumble on the next play. Again Kanese lost the ball on downs and the Aggies punted to Wood on the Aggie 35-yard line. Fitzgerald then went in for Wood and called for a pass. As the ball rolled the ball 25 yards to Heath who was running up arms only ten yards from the goal and no Aggie near him.
It was a beautiful play from the Kansas point of view and gave Kansas a chance to tie the score but Strothers missed goal. The remainder of the quarter was the same back and forth movement and ended with the Aggies holding the oval on their thirty yard line.
The Aggies punted thirty-five yards to start the quarter and Lindsey returned seven. Reber, Nielsen and Gillespie made first downs. Fast went in for Gillespie and the crowd began to clamor for a touchdown. Reber made two yards through the fence. Fitzgerald then got away for a thirty yard run and was down on the Aggie 7-yard line. Then Fast was called on for four downs and on the last one he took the ball over the final line. Nobody caught Lindsey's kickout and the goal failed. Kannas 12. Aggies 7.
K. U. Makes Another
The Aggies opened up with some passing plays but were unsuccessful. Kansas lost thirty yards on a bad pass from center but a punt by Bind-ah O'Geezs the ball at a safe distance. And the aggies the ball in the middle of the field. They tried a forward pass but Lindsey got hold of it and had gone 41 yards before he was stopped. With the ball on their 10 yard line the Aggies were penalized to within one yard of their goal and Fast carried the ball over for the third touch of the goal. Lindsey got hold of them.
Lindsey got hold of another Aggie pass later in the quarter but was

New Building at Bell Memoria to Facilitate Handling of Visiting Patients
A dispensary and laboratory, which will furnish accommodations for twice as many patients as are now being cared for, is being built at the Bell Memorial Hospital in Rosedale and will be ready for occupancy in about ten days. This building is being used for work that was appropriated for improvements at the hospital by the legislature three years ago.
The new building is a large, two-story, fire-proof structure, 86 by 48 feet in ground dimensions. It contains two we've examination rooms, several lecture rooms and new laboratories.
A Needed Addition
"The new dispensary building," said M. T. Sudler, associate dean of the School of Medicine, "will be a long desired addition to the institution, as heretofore we have been unable to accommodate all the visiting patients. We have been having about 950 visiting patients a month, who come to the hospital to be treated for minor ailments, but with the new examination room, we are able to we should be able to accommodate at least twice that number. We expect to have 1400 or 1500 patients a month after the new building is completed.
"The enrollment at Rosedale about ten per cent larger this year than it has ever been before," said Dr. Sudler. "We are expecting more students next semester and with the increase in faculty, space was almost a necessity. At present we are about fifty patients receiving treatment at the hospital."
Other Improvements, Too
Other improvements for beautifying the grounds and constructing an approach to the new building are being carried on under the supervision of John M. Shea, superintendent of grounds. Specifications have been drawn up by landscape architects in Kensington, where a walk around the grounds and along the walks and for planting shrubbery. "The plans of the architects have been accepted and will be carried out," said Dr. Sudler, in conclusion. "In a few weeks the general appearance at Bell Memorial Hospital will be greatly improved."
RECEPTION FOR FACULTY
Chancellor and Mrs. Strong Greel Members of K.U.'s Teaching Staff
Elaborate in every detail was the formal reception given by Chancellor and Mrs. Strong at their home last Friday evening for the members of the University faculty. It is estimated that more than three hundred people attended the brilliant affair.
Chancellor and Mrs. Strong received. Assisting them were L. D. Havenhill, P. F. Walker, A. C. Dykstra, C. G. Dunlap, W. J. Baumgartner, A. H. Sluss, Merle Thorpe, W. O. Hamilton, F. B. Dains, E. M. Briggs and Misses Helen Jones and Evelyn Strong
Punch was served on the porch by Mrs. H, C. Allen and Miss Alice Winston. More elaborate refreshments were served in the dining room.
After six weeks of school, John J. Kistler, a freshman in the College decided that "absence really does make the heart grow fonder" and departed Thursday night for a few days visit at his home at Alta Vista.
The members of the State Board of Administration were among the group.
The house was decorated with dahlias and autumn flowers and leaves.
A. Seller of Washington spent Thursday in the city as the guest of his daughter Dena, junior College.
downed in his tractors. A couple of plays by Flasy and Lindsey got the ball to the 39-yd. line where Strotheres tried a place kick which went short. The Agnes then made a twenty yard pass but it was too late to do any more running, bounded and the two teams got needled to crowd to find their way back to town.
But the Jayhawk had screamed again and had lost seven more feathers.
Geologists Begin First Chapte of Kind in United States Many Seek Entrance
The first national fraternity to be founded at the University of Kansas is the Sigma Gamma Epsilon, the only fraternity in the United States devoted to Mining, Geology and Metallurgy.
Many local organizations of this kind in the different technical schools of the country have already petitioned the Sigma Gamma Epsilon for membership. This year will see the es-
ternals, among them a large eastern university which was the first to apply for admission.
Many Would Join
Glenn Allen who is doing research work at the University of Utah, reports that through the west, many mining engineers have heard of the establishment of the national chapter and are eager to combine all the local organizations into one strong national fraternity. The process will be slow, however, as the Grand Council wants to perfect its organization gradually and to admit only the strongest technical schools.
The allied sciences of Mining, Geology and Metallurgy offer a large field for such an organization, which is bound to succeed with such men behind it as: Professor Haworth, formerly Kansas state geologist, Professor Twenhofel, the present Kansas state geologist, and Professor Terrill and Professor Grider. The two latter are graduates of Colorado School of Mines and Columbia University and have had years of practical mining experience through the west and in South America.
Perfecting Organization
The A'pha chapter has had committees working constantly on the constitution and ritual of the fraternity until it has now the basis of a strong national organization, which is to be opened to mining engineers, who are majoring in geology and metal-urgy.
The chapter was organized December 15, 1914, with the following charter members: Glenn L. Allen, Clark B. Carpenter, Walter H. Rohrer, Hugh L. Brown, George B. Sammons, Harry E. Crum, Rey Roydenals, Sherwin F. Kelly, Prof. W. H. Twenhofel and Prof. E. Haworth.
Twenhofel Is President
Sigma Gamma Epsilon has selected for its Grand Council, the following: Grand President, Prof. W. H. Tweenhof; grand secretary and treasurer, Harry E. Crum; grand histographer, Roy Reynolds; other grand conciliors are William Foster and Leland Fiske.
The pledge pin of the new organization consists of a silver shield with a blue border. On the shield is a miniature pick and hammer. On it in raised gold is a geologist's compass and a crossed shovel and pick.
The Sigma Gamma Epsilon announces the pledging of: Professors Terrill and Grider, Frances I. Martin and Earl J. Nixon.
The Halloween party in the Gym Saturday night will be a costume affair only. No one is expected to wear a masque.
Even costuming is not required, though it is thought that the majority of those in attendance will dress especially for the occasion. Dancing during the earlier part of the evening will be restricted to those who wear costumes, and prizes are to be given for the most original.
HALLOWEEN PARTY NOT
MASQUE AFFAIR SATURDAY
"I want everybody to understand that the party is not a masquerade," said Mrs. Jermaine.
MRS. EUSTACE BROWN IS
HOSTES AT SENIOR TEA
Mrs. Eustace Brown received the senior women, the graduate students, and the specials, in the Women's Corner at Fraser Hall, from 3 to 5 p.m. Friday. Mrs. Brown, Miss Gittens, secretary of the Y. W. C. A., and Stella Simmons, president of the Y. W. C. A., were in the receiving line, the rooms were decorated with ferns and pink roses by the Kappa Kappa Club, and finished by a three-piece orchestra in the dining room, where girls from the freshman, sophomore, and junior classes served ice cream and wafers.
This is the last of a series of four teas given by Mrs. Brown in entertaining the University women.
SOPHOMORE CLASS WILL GIVE THREE DANCES THIS YEAR
At a meeting of the sophomore social committee Wednesday afternoon, the members of the committee decided to give three dances during the school year; one just before Christmas; one soon after the holidays; and the last at some time before the "Hop." The purpose of the committee is to make these dances, affairs that will reflect credit to the class, making them entirely enjoyable and not too formal. The places at which they are to be held and the admission will be decided later.
The committee also started plans for one or two class parties, informal affairs of the get-together kind, that are to become annual meetings of the class that will help the members to become better acquainted.
No definite plans for the "Hop" were formulated as it will not be held until late in the spring.
ANNUAL WANTS MONEY Jayhawker Management Calls for Senior Dues and Pictures to be in by November 30
Ross E. Busenbank, manager of the 1916 Jiahawker, last Saturday began the serious business of financing the Annual when he sent out 436 post cards to the members of the senior class, requesting them to pay their Annual dues. According to the information on the cards, each senior must pay six dollars and in turn and send back the money in return. In return, Busenbank will give receipts entitling the ho'der to a copy of the de luxe edition of the book.
November 30 is the date set before which all pictures, write-ups, and fees, must be turned in. In the past, Annual managers have frequently set the "final" date by which all fees must be paid, and then extended the time. According to Busenbark, there is to be none of that year; and it will be impossible for those seniors who have not paid their fees and turned in their pictures by November 30 to appear in the book. The alphabetical arrangement of pictures to be used this year makes it essential that the originals for them be turned in before the final date.
The pictures should be printed in black, on what is technically known as "squee-ree" paper. Engravings from this sort of picture are much clearer than those taken from ordinary photographs.
Remittances may be made to Manager Busenbark by mail. His address is: 1234 Main Street, New York, NY 10001.
Y. M. C. A. WILL CONTINUE ITS CAMPAIGN TUESDAY
The amount of money that the men of the University, will give towards the Y. M. C. A. fund Tuesday, will determine the ability of the organization to serve the student body this year.
The returns from the first campaign indicate that the sum raised has covered the deficit, and according to the men who made the round of the houses and different clubs, nearly $250,000 was paid. Most of the pledges were from $2 to $5.00, although a few larger ones were made in some cases.
The response has been appreciated by the Y. M., which desires to express through the Kansan "its gratitude to the men of the student body and faculty for their liberal response during the first day's campaign."
About five hundred students have already been seen and one hundred men on the committee will endeavor to reach every man in the University either before or on Tuesday. The plan is to explain to the student body just what the organization is doing and why it wants to be not whether they wish to give support. Student is not willing to give his aid, his money is of little use, according to Secretary Wedell. "We want the students to break away from the idea that we are a bunch of solemn fellows over here, going around with a hallowed expression on our faces," he said. "We are not. We are here to do all the real good we can for every Christian to us means any done a good which will better his moral condition and that is the basis of our work. Our motto is 'to help and to serve K. U. men.'"
Anna Forsyte and Gladys Chapplain, sophomore in the College, spent Saturday and Sunday with their parents at Edgerton.
WHY WE ARE JAYHAWKS Our Mythical Bird and Rock Chalk Explained by K. U. Professors
How many people, when they hear the mob giving "Rock Chalk," ever to speculate on where our little brother was found, and where we got our mystic bird?
The Inventor Speaks
"Go to Prof. E. H. S. Bailey," said the old Infantist. "He knows all about it."
"So the reporter sought Professor Bailey, and repeated the question.
"Can you tell me anything about a Kansas reporter asked of the old
"Oh yes," said Professor Bailey,
"I believe I originated that yell myself, about a generation ago. It was at a meeting of the old Science club. The original yell, however, was 'Rah! Rah! Jay—Hawk! K. U.!"
"It was introduced as a spirited yell for the club, but it's value as an excellent yell for the University was soon recognized. It quickly came in to general use, and later on it took its present form."
Since the "Rock Chalk" was introduced and accepted as the College yell, many others have been introduced, but none seem to take its name from University, "Rock Chalk" — and Professor Bailey, are rightfully inseparable.
A Search For The Jayhawk
A Search for the Jayhawk
From his talk with Professor Bailey, the reporter went back to the Old inhabitant. "Now what about the origin of the traditional Jayhawk?" he demanded.
"Go to 'Uncle Jimmy' Green," said the Old Inhabitat, with a vawn.
The Bird Explained
the reporter went to "Uncle Jimmy."—only he didn't dare call him that; and he put his question very respectfully—for he had read the article about "Uncle Jimmy" that applied in the Kansan, the other day.
Uncle Jimmy though a moment, and then said with a twinkle in his eye, "Why, that term is just an euphemistic way of indicating that we Kansans are thieves, and robbers. About a generation ago, a number of enterprising Missourians descended on Kansas, and either destroyed or stole everything they could lay their hands on. They were especially fond of cattle and horses; and I fancy there is a lot of live stock in Missouri today that owes its extra quality to its Kansas ancestry.
“Well, of course, Kansas wasn’t to be outdone in enterprise; and now we have a lot of extra fine stock in Kentucky that we’ve its points to its Missouri origin.
"I don't know what sort of names we called the Missourians; but I do know that they invented for us the brilliantly descriptive name of Jay-hawk, apparently as a tribute to our favorite sportsman, swooping down on their belongings by night." Thus spake our Uncle Jimmy; so it's doubtless straight.
