UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN VOLUME XIII. 3. 10. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY, AFTERNOON OCTOBER 4, 1915. NUMBER 16. 7 These Will Help Put K. U. on the Football Map SHORTY STROTHERS ANDY GROFT TONY JAMES SPEEDY HEATH BONNIE REBER THE JAYHAWK SCREAMS Kansas Takes Opening Game from William-Jewell, 20-0. Lots of Pep Shown By superior playing in every department of the game, the Jayhawkers defeated William Jewell 20 to 0 on McCook Field Saturday in the opening game of the 1915 season. The Kansas line proved impregnable and the fast Jewellites were unable to even threaten the Kansas goal. The first appearance of the Jayhawkers in a real game had been the source of much speculation by followers of the college sport, but O'Cott's men lived up to all hopes. The final was limited to three touchdowns owing to the large number of men playing on the field after. But this score was sufficient to set Gaitskis's "Thundering Thunders" and wild willning until midnight. The lack of injuries was a pleasing factor to the coaches and the team is expected to enter the Normal game Saturday in first-class shape. Lindsey was the only man taken from the game and his hurt proved to be slight. The scoring did not start until the second period, when a rapid succession of plays from the 42-yard line sent B. Gillespie across the goal. Strothers failed to kick a difficult goal. Two minutes and a half later Wood carried the ball across the opponent's goal after Maser fumbled Strother's 45-yard kick behind him. Line smash by James advanced the ball five yards before Wood scored. Strothers had his toe working better this time and another point was added. The half ended. Kansas, 13; William Jewel, 0. Kansas was held scoreless in the third quarter but at the opening of the fourth, "Jick" Fast replaced B. Gillespie at left half and started the quarter with a twenty-five yard run. Holt married Jill on October 6. Fass went across for the third touchdown. Strothers again kicked goal. A total of 125 yards penalties were inflicted on Kansas while the Missourians were only set back twenty-five yards. On the other hand, the Jayhawkers made twelve first downs and nine defensiveeties were unable to make any. captain James was satisfied with the score but not entirely with the showing of the men in the game, "The men showed up ragged in spots," he said. "We will have to do some hard work before Saturday's game and especially before the Conference games. I like the ep ped displayed by the crowd. It is so great." Everything is coming along smoothly and if the crowd and the team continue to hold together we will sure do something this fall." The Kansas Normal's come next Saturday for a game with the Jayhawkers and advance reports say that they are confident of victory. The line-up: The line up. Kansas Wm.

OUAKE RECORDED ON OREAD Seismograph Shows Disturbance 650 to 700 Miles Distant on East and West Line The University of Kansas seismograph recorded one of the severest and most distinct earthquake shocks in its history Sunday morning. Starting at 12:57, the machine registered a violent disturbance until 2:43, reaching its maximum intensity a little after one. So great was the shock that it caused, two other quakes, slight and with indistinct phases, were shown, one at 5:49 p. m., Saturday, and the other about 2 hours later. Prof. F. E. Kester, of the physics department, estimates the distance at from 650 to 700 miles for the main shock and a lesser distance for the two smaller ones. The disturbance came on in an east and west line. If the quake is east, it is in middle tucky, if the quake is west, it willoming, like Colorado, according to Professor Kester. The nearness of the stimulus would account in a measure for the clearness of the record, but damage would occur if there were a settlement near the place of shake-up. Professor Kester believes.

TO GIVE UNIFORM STUDY 200 FOR CHORAL UNION Board, With Heads of State Prof. J. N. Van der Vries Exports to Enlarge Popular Schools, Working Out Corres pondence Study Courses Musical Organization The heads of the five state educational institutions with the Board of Administration held a meeting at the office of Chancellor Strong today to consider the adoption by all state schools of a system of correspondence study, uniform in price and in valuation of credit. H. J. Waters, of the State Agricultural College; T. W. Butcher, of the Emporia Normal; W. A. Brandenburg, of the Pittsburg Manual Training Schools; and W. A. Lewis, of the Hays Normal, are the visiting presidents. The three members of the State Board, Ed. T. Hackey, Edward W. Hoch, and Mrs. J. M. Lewis, as well as Chancellor Strong were present at the meeting. The plan being discussed involves a unification of all existing correspondence courses offered by state institutions, so that in the future the credits secured in correspondence study from any of the five Kansas schools will be accepted at uniform value by any of the other institutions. The Board also plans to make the courses uniform in price. No definite results were announced today, the meeting still being in seasale. On Saturday of last week the Board met in Topeka with Dr. H. S. Pritchart, of the Carnegie Foundation. The Board was of Kansas schools was discussed. MAY ARGUE ABOUT ISLANDS Colorado Suggests Triangular Debate on Question of Retaining the Phillipines Phillipines Resolved, "That the United States should permanently retain the Philippines" has been offered by Colorado as the subject for the Kansas-Okahoma-Colorado Triangular Debate this year. A letter from the Boulder school was received this morning by Prof. Howard T. Hill, of the department of public speaking. Action on the matter now rests with the Jayhawker and the Sooner debating councils. "I don't know whether the question, will be adopted," said Professor Hill. "The local debating council has not met this year, and any action will have to be deferred until they can consider the question." The annual Pan-Hellenic track meet may be held this fall, instead of in the spring, as the custom has always been. A committee was appalled by the Pan-Hellenic meeting yesterday to formulate plans, and report within a week. The question submitted by Colorado will have to be approved by both Oklahoma and Kansas before being accepted. It is expected that Henry Shim, president of the debating council, will call a meeting soon to concur with the votes for the coming year will be elected at the council's first meeting. *RATERNITY TRACK MEET* MAY BE HELD THIS FALL The reason for the suggested change is that if the meet serves any purpose at all it is to stimulate interest in track, and possibly uncover some new material for William Omar. If run off in the fall, the meet may thus become of service to the University. Send the Daily Kansan home Two hundred voices for the Choral Union is the goal set by Prof. J. N. Van der Vries, head of the committee on arrangements for the chorus work this year. Last year the Choral Union scored a big success in both University and Lawrence musical circles, and this year with a larger chorus and an excellent selection of special talent, and music-lovers expect two concerts which are being planned to be big successes. Last year the Union was composed of about half University students and half people from town, but this year, according to Professor Kevin, who has been the choeur in charge, the plans are for a larger percentage of students. "The people should realize and recognize that they are the makers of our standard of music," said Professor Nevin. "Upon them depends its character, not only for our own generation, but for generations to come. The love of music in the people was not treated by the public artist, but by the love of music in the people, that inspired the artist to loftier aims, and bigger endeavors. It is what the people demand that will influence art." "The shortest path to an upward appreciation of music will come through a better understanding of it, and this can be accomplished quicker through community singing than any other way, by those who accept it as an avocation. In this line of work, an increased knowledge of musical construction will be gained, which in turn will advance and determine our standard of higher culture, and upon the people rests the results." The first definite arrangements for the work this year will be made to tomorrow evening at a meeting of the committee in charge at F. A. U. Hall. The picking of the chorus will require a great deal of work, since a large number are expected to try out.

But when the test bullet was fired, instead of swinging the pendulum against the recording the bullet penetrated the board and ricco-trapped around the room until it resembled a Mexican invasion.
