JAYHAWKSCREAMS AGAIN
They came, they saw—but they failed to conquer. Thus the story is told of the Drake Bulldog who traveled all the way from Des Moines to McCook Field to be convinced that the dopsters had not overestimated the fighting qualities of the Kansas Jayhawk.
But Loses Seven Feathers Rudely Jerked Out by the Drake Bulldogs
The 30 to 7 score hardly tells the story though of the fight put up by the Drake squad, of their offensive play and of their sticking qualities in spite of defeat. Every style of play from straight football to coach passing was attested by coach themem. But all met practically the same fate until luck entered in the final period to count them a lone touchdown.
Wood, Lester and Bernard Gillespie and Reber secured a touchdown each during the afternoon while one Mr. Brown secured the Drake score, Captain James also got his toe working good and on the second attempt kicked the ovel between the posts for three points.
Although the Jayhawk had him beaten early in the tussle, the Bulldog stuck by his task until the final whistle ended the combat. But not until the Jayhawk had lost seven fine feathers—the first ones of the season.
Lindsey's Punting Good The game opened and closed with a punting duel between Lindsey and Bunz. The Jayhawkers gained ground in this manner by Lindsey's superior punting and Wood's ability to return the Drake punts. Drake soon chose another style of play and forward passing came into common use.
The first successful pass of the day came early in the first quarter when Bunz tossed the oval over eight yards to Smith. Another pass was tried but Nielsen, the Kansas Fullback, leaped into the air in front of Thomas and intercepted the flip. Kansas then took the ball down to the 23-yard line on a few line plays along with a fifteen yard alley. Further advance was found impossible at that point and the Jayhawker again dropped back for a place kick. Luck was against bases for the pigskin hit the post and bounced back onto the field. Bunz then punted from the twenty yard line to Woody who ran the ball twenty-five yards.
B. Gillespie Goes Over
B. Gillespie Goes Over
With the ball on the twenty-five yard line Wood got away for a fifteen yard gain along the right sideline. Lindsey followed with eight yards which put the ball on Drake's two-yard line. B. Gillespie was then called upon to carry the ball over for the first scout. Lindsey punted out to the screen and held the ball for trotters to kick goal. Gaitskill's Thundering Thousand counted seven. An unexpected incident then occurred which almost netted a touchdown for the visitors. Smith, the Drake right half, received Strother's 50-yard kick-off and tore through the whole Kansas team and was off for the Jayhawk goal. Reber saved the day by outrunning Smith and bringing him to earth on the 25-yard-line after the former had raced over 13 chalk lines. The Bulldogs then tried forward passing but this failed and they lost the ball on downs.
NUMBER 26
The first successful Kansas pass this year was then reeled off. Lindsey tossed the oval six yards to Wood who started from the forty yard line. Tony James caught up with the midgret quarter and ran perfect interference while Wood dodged along the side lines to the Drake goal. The crowd was on its feet yelling and as Strothers kicked goal it counted fourteen. The quarter ended before the ball was again put in play.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 18, 1915.
In the second quarter a fifteen yard pass, Smith to Geyer, put the Kansas goal in danger but in four downs Drake failed to gain the necessary ten yards and the ball waned to Kansas. By penalties, punting and line backing Kansas got the ball. Drake trettertory passed, Holt to dodd netted ten yard-failing to gain on three downs. James was called on for another kick from the 21-yard line. Again it hit the cross bar but this time is bounced right between the posts to the delight of the rooters.
Kansas Pass Successful
posts to the end. The Strothers and Bunz each tried a drop kick in this quarter but both times the ball went wide. Straight football was resorted to and when the whistle ended the half Kansas had
the ball six yards from the Drake goal.
L. Gillespie Races 65 Yards
In the third quarter "Les" Gillespie decided to make a touchdown as his brother had done. Dr. Lieftemple a pass on our own 35-yard line and caught it and ran through a broken field for a touchdown. Reber "dumped" two of the interference. Following this goal was kicked and the roosters now counted twenty-four.
Wood brought the crowd to it's feet in the last quarter by racing in from his safety position to intercept a Drake pass. This play netted twenty-five yards and placed the ball on the opponents 35-yard line. Lindsey, Holt and Nielsen made twenty yards. Wood then tone around right end for a 12-yard run for a score but the umpire's whistle had blown and Kansas received a 15-yard penalty instead of a touchdown. The Jayhawkers then fumbled and Bunz punted out of danger.
Drake started a rush from James' kick-off and after a twenty yard pass, Bunz to Chance, the Kansas goal was in danger with the ball on the eight yard line. A line buck lost four yards for Griffith's men then an eight-yard pass put the ball or the four-yard line. Here Kansas got off side and was penalized within one yard of her goal, and Drake had four downs in which to score. Brown went across for the necessary one yard on the first down. Smith kicked goal.
Then came Bonnie Rebe to the front for his share of the honors. The big 180-pound end took the ball under his arm on the 35-yard line and went through the Bulldog defense like a shot and was on the five yard line before caught. But he eluded tacker and enlisted small enail scores. Lindsay failed at goal but the crowd was contented with thirty.
Bonnie Reber—the Hero
The rest of the game was an exchange of punts between Lindsay and Bunx with the advantage on the Jay-hawkers' side.

And Olcott's first conference game was a victory—but seven Jayhawk feathers had fallen.

Is Willing to Do all He Can to Make Class Elections Honest
CHANCELLOR WILL HELP PHI BETA KAPPA ELECTS
Student elections must be legal and fair, if student government is to retain its prestige, in the opinion of Chancellor Frank Strong. The celler is willing to help the Student Legislature to exempt it makes to better conditions.
"It does not lie in my power to remedy the cause for illegal elections," he said. "One thing is certain, however, that there can be no more illegal elections in the University of Kansas without hurting the student government to a great extent.
"If we must have illegal elections no one of any consequence will run for office, and the interest the students have shown in the past will die. It seems to me that there must be some way to remedy these evils, but before anything is done the laws should be thoroughly understood."
Leland Thompson, president of the Student Council, said that measures had been drawn up, and that before the Council meets again the school will outline a plan to submit for ending questionable election practices.
"I will be glad at each time to meet with the Student Council and help with our work."
"It may take a long time to straighten this matter out," said Thompson, "but I believe we can do it satisfactorily to all concerned, and that by the time the spring elections come we shall have elections be honesty of which is beyond question."
SPHINX SOCIETY PLEDGES
Freshman Inter-Fraternity Puts Colors on Sixteen Men—More to Be Selected Later
Last year's members of the Sphinx Society, the freshman inter-fraternity organization, held their pledging ceremonies Wednesday night at the Beta home and the church where were painted lapels of six of this year's freshmen.
Thus far this year's members of the Sphinx and the fraternities which they represent are: Joe Cross, Herbert Jordan, Alpha Tau Omega; Cameron Reed, Myron Miller, Beta Theta Pi; Ray Walters, Percy Hunt, Delta Tau Delta; James Cubbison, Raymond Hempill, Phi Gamma Delta; J.

There still remains to be pledged two freshmen from each of the several other social fraternities on the hill, and also two non-fraternity members.
The Sphinx Society was organized in 1912 by eighteen freshmen of the class of '15. The purpose of the organization is to bring into closer harmony the men of the freshman class and to promote a feeling of good-fellowship.
The annual Law Scrim will be held Dec. 3 according to the announcement made this noon by W. N. "Bill" Calkins, manager.
Calkins is making this early announcement of the date so that all fraternities, sororities and other social organiaztions may keep this date open.

The Six Members Chosen from Present Senior Class by Local Council
Six new members were admitted to the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity at an election which was held in Room 206, Fraser Hall, by the local council Friday afternoon, October 15. The elected are Forrest N. Anderson, Florence Hale, Ida O'Brien, Mauel Perry, Edith Piotrowski, and Henry Tihen. These students have attended the University of Kansas during all their college career and have taken part in college activities. They are all classed as seniors in the College this year.
"Heroetore the fraternity has had its election in February," said E. D. Cressman, secretary of the society, in an interview Saturday morning, "but from now on, owing to a change in the by-laws, there will be two elections each year—one in October and the other in February." Those were elected last Friday; as went on, may feel highly honored, for it should have accomplished the same in college that those who will be elected next February will have accomplished when they are elected."
When asked if any of the elected were intending to try for the Rhodus scholarship, Mr. Cressman said that during the meeting when the subject was discussed none of them thought seriously of taking the examination. "but," he added, "they will not do." Give him a chance, they thought before the Rhodes examination is held; and possibly some of them will decide to try for it."
Famous Phi Beta Kappa Men During the 139 years of Phi Beta Kappa's existence the names of many noted men have been on its rolls. Among them are many, great in the annals of American literature and American statesmanship. Among them are Emerson, Holmes, Longfellow, Daniel Webster, Beecher, Bryant, Edward Everett Hale, Thomas Higenson; and seven presidents: John Quincy Adams, Pierce, Garfield, Arthur, Taft, Roosevelt, and Wilson National Phi Beta Kappa History
Local Phi Beta Kappa History
The Kansas chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was founded in 1890. In order of establishment the Alpha of Kansas takes thirty-first place. At the time Kansas received her chapter only 25 were admitted. Since then the membership has grown until at present there are 400 persons who wear the Kansas Alpha key. Of these 125 are in Lawrence, and on the roll of active members. The officers of the chapter are L. E. Sisson, president; Rose Morgan, vice-president; E. D. Cressman, secretary, and E. W. Murray, treasurer.
The fraternity was founded in 1775 at William and Mary college, Williamsburg, Virginia. It was the earliest of the Greek letter societies, and the letters are the initials of the Greek words Philoph丝希, Biou, Kuberes meaning "Philosophy, the guide of life." This is the motto of the society. The badge is a gold key. Gradually the society lost its secret character and at last its membership became honorary.
When Phi Beta Kappa was first founded it admitted only men, but since 1875, women, too, have been accepted for membership. At present there are 86 chapters in the United States with a total membership of 27,645, of whom about 21,031 are men and 6,613 women.
Phi Beta Kappa Orations
In a short time a number of orations will go to press. These orations are selected by the best of all the Kappa orations which have been given at the eighty-six captives. We are anticipating a book which will be of great interest to all the members.
During the last year about 1,350 new members have been received, 750 of whom were men, and 600 women. This shows a total increase since the census of 1913 of 1,145, of whom 1,031 are men, and 113 women.
National Y. M. Secretary to Speak "H. L. Heinzeman, the national Y. M. secretary will probably conduct the next Y. W. meeting, Tuesday, October 19, if we can possibly get the reply," said Miss Gittina Thursday.
Since Mr. Heinzeman spent the summer in England working among the soldiers he will have many interesting experiences to tell.

The Phi Delta Kappa is a professional fraternity open to students in the School of Education.
The Phi Delta Kappa fraternity at a meeting held last week in Fraser Hall, decided to pay more attention to the social side of the fraternity. The general sentiment was that the members ought to be branding quantitative "fees" and get closer sessions would bring about this closer fellowship.
COUNCIL STANDS PAT
Thompson Answers Kennedy as to Fair Treatment Given Illegal Voters
Leland Thompson, president of the Student Council, dictated to a Kansan reporter last night the phrase "the statement concerning his disfranchisement;
"Duke Kennedy told me, in the presence of several other men, that he has voted twice. I think that a man who has been in school that year is likely to a man can't vote twice, even though he has the chance to 'crook.'
"He says he was not allowed to appear before the committee. I personally told Kennedy where and when the committee would meet, and invited him to come. Now he gives as one reason for his stand, the statement that his disfranchisement will hurt him when he gets out of school. He ought to have thought of that when he voted.
"There has been considerable mfs-understanding as to the compiling of the eligibility lists. A good many students who have advanced standing register wrong and the records have to be corrected later by the Registrar. This correction had not been made at the time of the election and consequently the lists went to the judges uncorrected.
University Now United
"I have worked hard this year to promote a better understanding between the various departments of the University, than there has been in the past; and I think that the Council has succeeded. The faculty are with us, the various class and student organizations are working together, and furthermore, the school spirit has never been better. This year's football team is the best in years.
"So I had hoped that this election difficulty would quiet down, and it seemed to be in a fair way to do so until Kennedy stirred it up. We think that our action was just, and it will be final unless Duke himself chooses to carry things further."
PLAN CO-OP BOOK EXCHANGE
Student Council Committee Will Outline System Within a Few Weeks
Kansas will have a co-operative book exchange within a few week, if the plans now under consideration by the Men's Student Council are faltering. For Ron Balker, and Kenneth Lott are in committee to formulate plans.
"We would like to have a co-operative book store," said Ireland today, when asked about the scheme. "At present we lack the financial backing. Consequently we will have to be content for a while with the exchange."
Final decision as to the control of the exchange will not be made until the answers from these queries have been considered.
Although it has not been definitely decided, the exchange will probably be under the control of the Student Council. The committee has sent questionnaires to Iowa State, Nebraska, Missouri, and Oklahoma, asking what system of cooperative book buying, if any, is being used, by whom conducted, and with what success.
the members of the Alpha Tau fraternity called at the Chi Omega house Thursday from seven until eight o'clock.
MORNING PRAYERS
Leader, Prof. R. A. Schwegler. General subject, "Five Glimpses of Christ."
traily subjects, Monday. "The Wilderness."
Tuesday, "Theophany"
Wednesday, "Service."
Thursday, "Character."
Friday, "The Man."
The Wilderness
Professor Schwegler spoke this morning upon the subject of "The Wilderness." He said that the student is his own master and must meet the same temptation which Christ met of the wilder. This temptation Christ, the wilder, said Mr. Schwegler, is an allegory which pictures the temptation that all ages have met in the past, and must meet in the future.
