"The girls here look mighty nifty in their apartures," said Glendon Allivine. "I like them that way better than when fused up. I think that to be allowed to take cookin' in a building with 800 girls as the men's cooking class here does would be the height if a youth ambition."

Con Hoffmann, secretary of the University, Y. M. C. A., showed Mr. Robins the petitions while he was in Liberty, Mo., last week leading a religious campaign. There were 800 signers in all.
"The campaign at William Jewel, College was a success in every respect," said Con this morning, "Robins was at his best. Of the 350 men in the college, not more than thirty were absent from any of the meetings. Many decisions for the college were made before close of the campaign. The prevailing spirit was one of seriousness and devotion."

RODKEY RUNS QUARTER 51:1
Jayhawkers Finish Relay Thirty Yards Ahead of Nebraska; Breeze Chilled Athletes
The Cornhusker track squad proved no match for the peerless Jayhawker cinder artists on Saturday and Kansas won the annual dual meet in Lincoln 80 to 29. Nebraska was allowed only two firsts and succeeded in taking first and second in one lone kick, the other yard dash, Kansas, the other hard court seem to extend herself; yet she took both first and second in six events.

The meet started out with Nebraska winning both places in the hundred yard dash which cheered the teams. They were gathered for the affair. However, their hopes were soon lost when Herriett and Sproull came in on the one mile finish fully thirty yards ahead of them. After an hour on time on Nebraska never had a chance to get the lead for a moment. The two mile run was as easy a victory for Graddy and Poas as the mile hid in the men finished arm in arm in 10:15:3.
In the field events Kansas had the advantage of their northern friends for Rober and Keeling had everything to do, including a discus. Nebraska had placed its hopes in Reavis, pole vaulter, who last week broke the Missouri Valley record in its meet with Ames. Camping was a big deal on the day and tied for first at 11 feet with the star Cornhusker. McKay's victory in the high jump at five feet one inch was one big surprise of the day while Grutzmacher, a Kansas University player, even claimed Hamilton by winning a first place in the broad jump.
High jump--McKay, Kansas, first.
Hummel. Nebraska, second. Height:

The relay was an easy victory for Kansas. Captain Edwards took the lead as first man and gave Elswick a second. As Ellsworth Hilliott increased this considerably and Rodkey, running last for Kansas, finished with thirty yards to spare.

Postponed Game Started But Darkness Interfered at End of Third Inning
TARKIO COLLEGE FALLS 7 TO 1
Kansas Undefeated This Season i Strong Bidder for Valley Championship
After having one game called off on account of rain at Ames the Kansas baseball team trimmed the Ames Aggies on the latter's diamond Friday 4 to 3. An attempt was made to play the postponed game after the regular game on the same day but darkness interfered after three innings and the game ended in a tie good. The Jayhawks then journeyed to Tarkio, Mo., where they went nine rounds with the Tarkio College sound with a 7 to 1 score.
championship
In the opening game "Red" Craig was sent to the mound and with good support succeeded in winning his first start. He led the lead in the sixth by tallying three runs which was too much of a handicap for the northerners to overcome. This was by far the best game of the season, gave Kansas the series over Ames.
A second game was agreed upon for the same afternoon and started out with Ames taking the lead with a score of 3-0. Ames used the box for Kansas and was working in good form when the game was called. The game was soon turned into a fare by the Ames team when they realized that darkness would overtake them. They struck out as fast as they could so that the necessary four and a half innings could be played with them in the lead. However, McCarty's men were not to be caught and evaded the ball. The game was caller at the end of the third.
In Saturday's game at Tarkio the Jayhawker aggregation had things its own way and Spruill had no trouble in outpitching McArthur. He raved only six hits while Kansas registered on the Tarkio pitcher,
This leaves Kansas undefended by a college team this year and a victory over Missouri for the series on McCormick. They men up as strong bidders for the Missouri Valley Championship again this year.

TO CHANGE WORK IN GYM
Physical Director Thinks Men do Not Get Enough Exercise
"We will have more system and more preparation in next year's gym work," said Prof. H. A. Lorenz, physicist who had discussed about the gymnasium work for next year. "The men do not know what it is to really work out and have a vigorous hour of exercise. This would have been a joke at Springfield."
Professor Lorenz feels that he can work up more interest in the department of physical education and make the exercises more attractive for next year, producing more games. Just what these additions will be he has not decided.
"I don't believe people realize just how hard it is to work out a system over here," Professor Lorenz continued as he reached for his card catalogue. "You see I have about 400 men enrolled here and there are twenty different reasons why any one may be interested in pursuing them may be in baseball or track or any of the other eighteen things the department offers. See this pack of cards? I've got to check these all up on the twenty different sports now."
Lawyers Beat Medics
When they took the count, 5 to 4, from the P. A. Ds Saturday the Ph Beta Pi ball team was practically eliminated from the race in the Inter-Fraternity ball league. The pitching of Fred Olander was too much for the medics and the lawyers had little choice in batting off the number of runs to record a win, Berger, catching for the Medics, split a finger which may keep him out of the game for the remainder of the season.
COUNTLESS ADVANTAGES TO STUDENT LOAN FUND
Says *Chancellor Strong in Interview on Raising $50,000 for University*
ALL SHOULD HAVE CHANCE
Registrar Says Every Boy and Girl in State Should Have Opportunity for Education
Wants All to Have Chance
"I can not find a possible objection to the proposed fifty thousand dollar student loan fund. On the other hand there are countless advantages that make the proposed fund has been established," declared Chancellor Frank Strong this morning. When asked if he believed very many students would take advantage of the probable opportunity, he cited that the students could be helped, financially.
Will Benefit Women
"I want to see every boy and girl in the state of Kansas have a chance to get a college education," said Registrar George O. Foster when asked this morning what would be the real value of learning to be the people of Kansas. "At the present time there are many men and women who are compelled to leave the University because of the lack of a small amount of money to tie them over. Many of the best high school graduates in the state go out to teaching in a small country school because they want to get involved in education. A small amount of money would give them the opportunity of the University."
Finest Thing to Do
Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women, said: "A fifty thousand dollar loan fund would benefit many people," he added. "I no doubt that more girls would come to college if it were possible to complete their courses with the aid of borrowed money. I am heartily in agreement and will do all I can to further it."
John Shea, Supt. of buildings and grounds: "its good dope and a fine thing to do. It will help many hard-working worthy students through school."
Dr. James Naismith: "One of the finest things we can do. There are many worthy fellows forced to leave home and live in a little money to give them over."
Will Get Touchdown
Con Hoffmann, Y. M. C. A. secretary; "It is certainly a great thing. Already I have received applications for the course. It is certain the demand will be greater than the supply. Nearly fifty students were forced to leave school this year in the middle of the winter. With a loan fund they would have
"The Student Loan Fund will get away from the opposing team for a touchdown and score an additional point on a goal kick," is Uber Jim Green's way of expressing that the new venture is a worthy one.
