THINKS IN TERMS OF CHEESE TALKS ON SURFACE WATERS
"Bob," Protege of Prof. R. A. Dock eray, Convinces Class He Has Acute Mental Parts
“It’s a long way to Tipperary,” is what Number Eleven might say if he could talk. But Number Eleven can't talk for he is only a little white man, and they teach him R. A. Dockerer's class in animal psychology, is using for experiments.
A few days ago Number Eleven, better known to the students as "Bob," was placed in one section of a labyrinth, in another section of which was a piece of cheese. Bob looked around him inquiringly, wiggled his nose, and started on his way through the windings of the labyrinth to the cheese which he found in just six minutes. The next time he made the run in two minutes less and the third time, probably because not very hungry, Bob had to hunt eight minutes before he found the cheese.
"The part of Bob's brain that thinks in terms of cheese is unusually acute," says Professor Dockeray, "I have known it to take a mouse forty-five minutes to make the same route and some never reach the goal."
In a few days the mice will be placed in a puzzle box, which will be more complicated test than the one now being conducted. The purpose of the tests is to see how long it will take a mouse to find the shortest route to the food, and to determine whether or not that judgment has added perceptibly to his ability to form further judgments.

Professor Haworth Reads Paper Before State Irrigation Convention at Garden City
Prof. Erasmus Haworth returned Friday from Garden City, where he has been attending the sessions of the State Irrigation Convention.
"The convention was successful," he said, "and the papers read were the best I have heard on the subject. The former Governor Hoch, of the State Board of Administration, was present Thursday and accompanied the delegates on an automobile trip through the irrigated lands. I have known this country for twenty-one years and its growth has been phenomenal. Well after wumps 3,000 gallons of water a minute over the farm land, which enables the once barren country to raise any farm product."
Professor Haworth gave a talk before the convention on the "Surface Waters of Western Kansas," in which he called attention to the great development of the western country and how it has confirmed his estimate of the amount of water available. After a comparison of wells and mines, he gave the advantage to the wells, for water never gives out as ore and can be supplied. He stated the statement that the water supply of the extreme western part of Kansas can support as dense a population as the eastern part now has.
The next meeting of the State Irrigation Association will be held at Lake Superior.
GREENWOOD COUNTY
CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS
The Greenwood County Club met Wednesday evening in Fraser Hall and selected the following officers for the year, Earl Nixon, president; Eva Maloy, vice-president; Ide Fuller, secretary, Carl Betz, treasurer; Willard Glaseo, delegate to the Country Club Central Organization, and Sam Johnson, janitor. Plans are already under way for the banquet to be given at Eureka at Christmas time.
A monthly assessment, plans for hikes and picnics, and the invitation of the Manhattan Greenwood Club to visit at its club house during the K. S. A. C-K. U. game were acted upon. Plans were also made for entertaining any visitors from the home county. These were worked over very carefully so as to not only show the visitors a good time, but to show them the University at an advantage. Members of the club wish that anyone from Greenwood County visiting in Lawrence would notify some member of the club, thus his entertainment may be looked after.
AUTOMATIC BASEBALL
PROVES FASCINATING
The batter stands at the plate and an automatic pitcher heaves the ball to him. It is not tossed but it pitched as fast as Walter Johnson throws his fast one. The "arm" puts a curve on the ball at times and ins, outs and drops vary with the slow and straight ones.
Yesterday, when the machines were given their first tryout a number of players and would be players were present and would take part in the batting game. Students of the University will find the automatic ball game amusing as well as capable of giving them some good work outs.-Adv.
Dot May Sandberg, freshman in the College, spent Saturday and Sunday in Kansas City with her parents
The Automatic Baseball Company yesterday afternoon opened its baseball parlours at 820 Mass., street with a good crowd. The game is absolutely new here and to say that it is fascinating would be putting it on the radar, but playing to play but is as equally interesting as watch, as a real baseball game.

K. U. WOMEN LIKE TO ROOT
Special Rooters' Section for Fair Sex at Games Has Proven a
Success
"If we can keep up the enthusiasm and get a larger number of girls to meet and go to the game in a body in the future, we will not be in the least discouraged with our idea of a special women rooters' section at the football games," said Gladys Elliot this morning. "Although there were than forty girls in the crowd last Saturday, a comparatively large amount of 'peep' and the plar seems to have pleased all of the girl who attended."
There was a mistake in Friday's Kansan in giving Miss Elliott's address, which should be 711 West 12th street, instead of 714 as given. Whether or not it was on account of this mistake that there was not a larger crowd in the rooters' section for girls is not known, but the chief reason was that there was a shortage of rooters that was that (here short time for the spreading of the "get together" spirit among the girls.
In regard to the woman cheerleader, Miss Elliot said that the women seemed very well satisfied without a representative on the cheerleading staff. "You could not expect the girls," she said, "to give the same pitch to the yellers that we are for unified yelling first and all the men." They suggest though that we sing more closely—"Stand Up and Cheer," and others, and that old "Rock Chalk" be used oftener.
The girls will meet at Miss Elliot's home before the two remaining games, and it is hoped that larger crowds will attend. Special seats in the rooters' section will be reserved for the girls who attend in a body, and one of the cheerleaders will be instructed to give more of his attention to the girls than has been done in the past.
