ALMOST A RIOT
UPPERCLASSMEN CARRIED JOKE TO EXTREME.
While the freshmen were attempting to hold an election to-day noon in Snow Hall, they were charged by upperclassmen and completely put to rout. The joke, all well enough in its first stage, was carried several degrees over the common sense boundary this morning by men who went into the affair for fun.
Doors and windows were stormed by the boys in an attempt to get in and break up the meeting. One big window was broken in the melee and the walls of the hall were soaked with water from a fire hose which had been turned on the freshmen. One girl was unmercifully doused by the fun makers, and her dress completely ruined.
Edward E. Brown, secretary of the University, ordered the room cleared. The crowd dispersed and no election was held.
Meeting for Election Broken Up Today Noon.—Freshmen Soaked With Fire Hose.
HAZED FRESHMEN LAST NIGHT.
In a freshmen caucus last night in Fraser Hall, upperclassmen took charge of affairs and as a matter of amusement broke up the meeting. Later in the evening a ticket was successfully nominated in Myers Hall. Some of the freshmen wiser than the rest of their gullible brethren objected to the interference of the older men. In the disturbance that followed the lights were turned out and the meeting was abruptly closed.
A freshman, named Humphrey, from Junction City, who had nerve enough to stand up for the rights of the freshmen, was captured by a crowd of excited boys and led away in triumph. As he is somewhat over three feet tall, the rabble had considerable difficulty in handling him. However with plenty of assistance, the brave instructors of the new victims at the University, had him divested of parts of his clothing ready for a plunge in the river. This plan was abandoned, and he was taken to the Pi Phi house as guest of honor. Admittance was refused. To satisfy the thirst for vengeance he was forced to perform some stunts for the crowd.
The freshmen then assembled in Myers Hall where a successful caucus was held. As they

AN APPEAL TO COMMON
SENSE OF UPPER
CLASSMEN
The Kansan believes it will have the support of most of the upperclassmen, who have at heart the interests of the University, in opposing any further interference on the part of upperclassmen in the affairs of the freshman class.
Since the rowdyism of class scraps have been done away with the University has progressed as never before. Its reputation over the State has improved, and the University has found favor where formerly it had none.
What has been done so far may be harmless in itself. It is what it will lead to, that all who feel any responsibility for the institution, should protest against.
NUMBER 6
In the boisterous action of last night and today could be seen the gathering semblance of the old class "scraps" which, fortunately for the school, have passed away.
Only a madman could wish to return to the days of class "scraps."
Any effort to impose obnoxious rules on the freshman is a challenge for a "scrap."
The Kansan hopes and believes that common sense will prevail.—Editorial.
WATER SPORTS TO FRONT.
Plans for Fall Regatta on Kaw Kansas City Wants Contest.
Next Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock there will be a meeting in Dr. J. Naismith's office to organize a water polo team and to make plans for a fall regatta on the Kaw.
All expert swimmers and those interested in canoeing are requested to attend the meeting. Several calls have been made from Kansas City for water polo contests to be held there this winter.
The first regatta ever held at K. U. was given last spring. The affair was a complete success and lovers of water sports are enthusiastically planning for a second contest this fall.
Rev. L. K. Wells of the Presbyterian Church will speak to the members of the Y. M. C. A. at Myers Hall this evening.
The chairman of the regatta committee did not return to school and it will be necessary to appoint a new chairman at the meeting Tuesday.

DOWN TO WORK
KENNEDY'S MEN GIVEN HARD TRAINING THIS WEEK.
Crowell Has a Bad Nee—Many battered—Freshmen and Indians Scrimmage with Varsity.
The football squad has put in a week of strenuous practice preparing for the game with the pupils of Quigley. The Indians from Haskell and the freshmen have given the first eleven some excellent training.
Yesterday evening the Freshmen scrimmaged with the Varsity. The first year men were given the ball on the Kansas five yard line. Lovett, a star Freshie, did great work and made one touch down on a ten yard gain. The Freshmen line is as heavy as the Varsity and puts up a great game.
Tuesday the Indians, twenty four in number, sounded their war cry in a scrimmage practice with Crowell's athletes. The Red men could do little against the Jayhawker line and their gains were small.
As a result of the scrimmage work the squad is somewhat battered. Crowell hurt the same knee that gave him so much trouble last year, and may be out of the game Saturday. Bond also has a bad knee. Several other members of the team are limping, but will be in shape by Saturday.
St. Mary's team will play a good game.The Catholics are probably stronger than the Normal squad and when it comes to tricky plays and work that requires light, fast men the pupils of Coach Quigley are the cleverest among the colleges of Kansas. Last year the score of the St.Marys game was 14 to2 in favor of Kansas.

Professor F. H. Blackmar, of the department of Sociology, left Tuesday evening for Albuquerque, New Mexico. He will deliver an address on "The Conservation of National Resources" before the National Irrigation Congress. He was appointed by Governor Hoch to give the talk.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Are the freshmen legitimate prey for the upper classmen in every way, or have freshmen a right to the pursuit of class politics without hindrance from other students? The barb caucus which the freshmen tried to hold last night in Fraser Hall was called to order by a junior, a sophomore was forced on the meeting as temporary chairman and after a little horse play the lights were turned out and the meeting broken up by upper classmen. Later the freshmen went to Myers Hall and tried to transact their business, but even there a bunch of fraternity upper classmen in the back of the room made trouble and prevented a fair expression of barb sentiment by voting on the candidates. The baiting of a freshman is always hilariously amusing to an upper classman, of course; but the officers of a class have a certain responsibility to the University, and the choosing of them ought not to be done by members of another class. A simple regulation by the University providing that all class elections must be held on the same day might go a long way toward protecting each class from outside interference.
The rural population at the State school at Manhattan has been thrown into great excitement by the near approach of a ride on the cars-trolley cars, which will carry the sons of toil from the railway station to the college back in the hills. A nickle in that town is no longer a thing lightly to be thrown away on a package of chewing gum or a sack of Durham, for it contains possibilities hitherto undreamed of. Once there was a prophet in K.U. who prophesied that some day there would be a trolley line to the University; but he graduated and grew old, and now his great grand children are walking up the hill However, an electric line is now being surveyed between Topeka and Lawrence and some time after the prophet has been gathered to his fathers his prophecy may come true.
To Secure Transportation Home For Voters.
IN REAL POLITICS.
The University Republican club under the leadership of E. E. Brookens, is in cooperation with the Lawrence Republican club attempting to secure transportation for all students who wish to go home and vote. Mr. Brookens announced at noon today that free transportation had been arranged for.
Both the Republican club and the Democrat club have been working to obtain a two day's vacation so that going home to vote will not interfere with the work of the students.
October ninth the Republican club will have a meeting at which several prominent electioners will address the club members. It is the plan of the club to have several meetings before the national election. Mr: Brookens has appointed three members of the club from each school to increase the interest in politics.
Ralph Pryor, a medic student last year, is visiting friends this week. He will leave Saturday for Northwestern where he will study this year.

THE JAYHAWKERS WALLOPED CATHOLICS BADLY
Bond made 70-Yd. Run for Touchdown—Team Shows Great Improvement over a Week Ago.
In a game that grew heated in the last half the Jayhawkers this afternoon gave the Catholics a drubbing to the tune of 24 to 0. Kennedy's pupils showed a marvelous improvement since the first game a week ago. All the team appeared to need was a little speed and ginger. Johnson in the last half played a great game at quarter. The line was strong and Kansas gained consistently through St. Mary's defense.
FIRST HALF.
The Kansas line-up at the beginning of the game was, Dahlene, full; Waring and Fiske, halves; Steele, quarter; Rice and Pleasant, ends; Caldwell and Carlson, tackles; Wood and Reed, guards; and Speer, center. Captain Crowell was out of the contest with a bad knee and Houghton's ankle kept him on the side lines.
The Jayhawkers began the game with fierce line bucking. They advanced the ball far into St. Mary's territory but lost it on an onside punt. Pleasant, Rice and Carlson threw the Catholics back for losses in quick succession and Kansas gained the ball and after a series af line bucks, demonstrating great team work, Waring was sent across for a touchdown. Dahlene kicked goal.
On St. Mary's kick off Steele got the ball and returned it 30 yards, Pleasant got an onside kick for 25, Fiske gained 20 yards, Rice and Dahlene each tore off 7, and two line plunges added ten more. This series of plays advanced the ball the entire length of the field and showed excellent head work by Steele and fine team work. Kansas lost the ball right on the line on three line bucks.
Johnson went in at quarter, Steele shifting to half to displace Waring. The remainder of the half was fast and interesting. St. Mary's tried several forward passes but could not get away with them. Kansas did not use the new style to any great extent.
SECOND HALF.
In the second half Reed caught St. Mary's kickoff on 35 yard line and made a return
of 20 yards. Dahlene, Reed and Johnson made steady gains and Pleasant carried the ball over in six minutes of play.
Dahlene returned a kickoff 25 yards but Kansas was forced to punt. Dockery here made a brilliant play for St. Mary's, returning Johnson's punt 25 yards. Hennessey replaced Rice at end and Carlson replaced Reed. For 70 yards the Kansas machine worked without a hitch and in straight line bucks carried the ball over for a third touchdown.
Johnson made a good return of kickoff. Then Bond carried the ball between tackle and end and with perfect interference made the fourth touchdown after a magnificent run of 70 yards. The last touchdown was made in just two minutes of play.
GIRLS PLEDGE
RUSHING SEASON ENDED IN SPLENDOR YESTERDAY

Last night each of the sororities gave a party of some kind. The Pi Phis gave a six course dinner and a dance. No men were present so in order to designate the "play men" from the girls, fraternity pins were use.
The Thetas gave a dinner at their chapter house. After the dinner a vaudeville show was given.
The Kappas were entertained by Marguerite Perkins with a dinner. Later in the evening a tally-ho ride was enjoyed.
Pi Phi—Leota McFarland, Kansas City; Hazel Kelley, Paola; Hazel Butts, Wichita; Elsie Dean, Marion; Lucile Wilkinson, Muskogee, I. T.; Clara Jaedicke, Lucy March, Helen Burdick and Myra Pendleton, Lawrence.
Kappa Alpha Theta—Helen Gleissner, Myra Rogers, Abilene; Carrie Calhoun, Fort Scott; Euphomia Smart, Ottawa.
The Chi Omegas gave a dance at Smith Hall. A three course luncheon was served. Shanties orchestra furnished the music.

The following are the sorority pledges:
The Kappas have not given out their list.
CHANCELLOR NOT OPPOSED
FAVORS RULES IF THEY ARE PROPERLY ENFORCED.
The University. However, Will Not Tolerate Persecution of Freshmen.
NUMBER
"I am not opposed to the rules that were adopted for the freshmen but the students appear to be going at the matter from the wrong end," said the chancellor today. "Some of the rules adopted savor somewhat of persecution and I do not think those parts of the rules can be enforced," he continued. "The agitation that has been going on shows an underlying sentiment among students for the government of their own affairs and this spirit the faculty wants to encourage. I understand that the rules have back of them the support of a number of the leading students in the upper classes. If this is the case and the movement is in the hand of responsible students the chancellor will be in favor of it. Of course it must be understood that there shall be no persecution of freshmen and the University can not allow any rowdyism on the campus. This is a state institution and the students must know that the student body must conduct itself differently from what it would in a private institution. I believe that there should be a discrimination between freshmen and upperclassmen and the very fact that there is none is responsible for a large number of the troubles we have in the student body. It is not proper that a freshman come to the University and immediately jump into the social and student life of the institution.
UPPERCLASSMEN ASKED TO PAY. There was a meeting of the board of regents yesterday but no action was taken in regard to the disturbance that occurred at Snow hall Thursday but it is understood that the upperclassmen will be asked to pay for the damages done to the building. An estimate is being made of the damage which is thought will amount to about twenty-five dollars.
FRESHMEN TEN COMMANDMENTS. At a meeting of upperclassmen of the school a list of rules regulating the behavior of freshmen were drawn up. Since the days of class scraps, the freshmen have had no distinctive mark. It is intended by the rule makers to mark the

Freshmen Beat High School.
Yesterday evening Coach Rouse's Freshman football team met the Lawrence high school on the golf links and beat them by a score of 6 to 0. The Freshmen did not put up their regular style of work and played a ragged game against the city boys. "Dutch" Martin did most of the work for the first year men. The regular Freshman team was not in the game. The new conference rules prohibit scheduled games for Freshman teams. This year the tyros will play only the Haskell Indians, the Lawrence high school and the different class teams of the University.
Acacia Initiation.
The Acacia fraternity holds initiation tonight for Fred Powell, Clyde Horton, Z. Wetmore and Neil Wright.
FEE TO BE $3
AFTER OCTOBER 15 WILL COST $3 TO JOIN HOSPITAL ASS'N.
Faculty Members are Urged to Join—Association Needs 300 More Members.
At a meeting of the Hospital Association held at 12:15 Friday it was voted unanimously to raise the fee from $2 to $3 for all who join after Oct. 15th. This raise is to be in effect for the remainder of this year only. The section in regard to membership was changed to read: "That all students; students' wives and members of the faculty, but not the members of the faculties families are eligible to membership." This change was deemed necessary on account of the great risk that the association would be compelled to carry.
The membership is close to the 400 mark and it is the desire of the Association to raise this number to 700 before Oct.15th; when the raise goes into effect. Edward Gibson was elected president to fulfill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Herbert Thompson.
The executive committee met in Dr. M. T. Sudler's office Saturday to complete the plans for equipping the hospital and for planning a campaign for new members with the deans of the schools.
Annual Parade.
The annual "night-shirt" parade which was to have been held last Saturday night, will be held this evening. It will start from South park at 8:00 o'clock.

THE KANSAN FAVORS FRESHMEN RULES.
The Kansan wants to make its position clear in regard to the student agitation that has been going on the past few days in regard to the imposing of rules on the freshman class. The Kansan is heartily in favor of the rules and would like to see them every one enforced if it can be done without riot and the revival of class scraps. This the Kansan is inclined to believe can be done. But it can not be done if the upperclassmen go out hunting for the freshmen with clubs. As the Chancellor says those wishing to impose the rules on the freshmen have begun at the wrong end. The first move in the enforcement of the rules is to select some kind of a representative organization. The selection of a cabinet such as the Chancellor suggested in chapel Friday would seem to suit the purpose. Give to freshmen a representative. Let the class as an organization acquiesce in the rules and then any unruly members can be easily dealt with.
As for trying to enforce the rules by riot it will never succeed. The University, if necessary, would resort to law to maintain order. The officials of the University have indicated this in the plainest terms. And then students must remember that this is a state institution, supported by the people, and that they will not stand for very much "horse-play." In the democratic old state of Kansas it is dangerous to attack any man, even though he be a freshman.
The Kansan, now, does not want to throw the least discouragement in the way of the enforcement of the rules. It is back of any move to enforce them that is fair and effective. Let's get together and quit beating the air.
There are in school several men who should be trying out for the football squad. Every man, who has the ability to take part in any University
activity, is duty bound, as a member of the school, to enter into his favorite sport and do all in his power to further the interests and the fame of his alma mater. A football man who has the weight, the strength, and the experience to make the Jayhawker squad and then refuses to train or put himself under any kind of discipline, unless he has an excellent excuse, is nothing short of a traitor to the school. The failure of a season may be due to a weakness on the team that could easily have been filled by several men, had they come out and trained.
To Speak at Leland Stanford.
Charles Moreau Harger of the Journalism department has gone to California for three weeks. He will make an address at Leland Stanford University on "Journalism," and is also on the program of the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress at San Francisco. He delivered the address at the opening of the new public library in Abilene Thursday evening.
Medics Elect Officers.
The Freshmen Medical students met Friday morning in the Medical building and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: president, Guy L. Brown; vice president, Marcus Fullenwider; secretary, Leroy W. Layton; treasurer, C. C. Dennie.

MUSICIAL ORGANIZATIONS.
Orchestra, Glee Club and Band Have Good Material.
The musical organizations of the University are securing a good list of members to fill the ranks left vacant last spring. All the places in the different departments are being filled rapidly and satisfactorily by the managers. Only a few positions remain unfilled. The work for the concerts of the year will be started at once.
GLEE CLUB ORGANIZED.
At a meeting Thursday evening in Myers Hall the Glee Club permanently organized for the coming year. The club will have only six of the old men back. The members chosen are, H. W. Hollingsworth and Fred Hesser, first tenors; Homer Connelly, Milton Cain and Irwin Snattinger, second tenors; Fred Cooper and Roy Douglas, first bass; Edgar Ford, John Powers and Harold Harlan or Abe VanMeter, second bass; and Paul McNeely, pianist. Two places are yet to be filled, one man for tenor and one for bass.
Mr. McNeely, is an accomplished pianist, and a graduate of the musical department of Washburn College.
Professor C. E. Hubach is well pleased with the personnel of the club.
The dates for rehearsals were set for Wednesday and Thursday evenings. The first concert will be given in the University chapel during the first week in December.
ORCHESTRA STARTS EARLY.
Twenty-five musicians have been secured for the University orchestra. The position of drum player is still vacant.
Several of last year's members are not in school. The officers elected last spring are here and will continue their work. Louis LaCoss is librarian and Milton Demand business manager. Professor C. S. Skilton is director, and Dr. W. H. Carruth is president of the organization. Guy Smith is a new player for the second clarionet and Mr. Robertson is a new man with the flute. Frederick Bruckmiller will be a new viola performer. Four additional violinists are Louise Weber, Helen Hill, Francis Stevens and G. L. Wright. An additional man with the cornet is Mr. McCanles, who was leader of the band at the Agricultural College last year. The orchestra meets for regular practice each Monday evening. It will play at Friday morning chapel exercises sometime this fall. As soon as the opera to be given by the department of Fine Arts is selected the orchestra will begin practice on the accompaniment.
BAND OUTLOOK HOPEFUL.
The band under the management of J. C. McCanless has already shown its efficiency. The places in the organizations are practically full and the material is excellent. The boys made a good showing at last Saturday's game. This early in the season the band is well organized.

MISSOURI IS DISSATISFIED
BEGINS ANNUAL TALK FEST ON PLACE FOR GAME.
Hetherington Now in Correspondence with Lansdon. — Interesting Dope from Other Camps.
The Athletic Board at Missouri, for some reason, does not take kindly to the contract submitted by Tebeau. Director Hetherington has been ordered to open negotiations with Kansas as to the place the game shall be played and the terms that shall be demanded.
The Thanksgiving game controversy has not yet been settled. When Manager Tebeau lowered his demands from twenty-five to seventeen per cent of the gross receipts of the big game, Kansas was satisfied and the athletic board definitely accepted the Kansas City man's terms.
Kansas has already contracted to play the game in Kansas City and the Board does not feel inclined to back down from its position. Manager Lansdon said this morning, "So far as Kansas is concerned, the game will be played in Kansas City as our Athletic Board agreed to do."
OUR OPPONENTS PLAY.
The Emporia Normals, who fell before the Jayhawkers a week ago 10 to 0, played Washburn Saturday and were beaten by a rank fluke in a closely played game by the score of only 6 to 0.
Missouri opened the season Saturday and swamped the Warrensburg Normals 53 to 6. The Tigers have a great team this year. The squad is said to be better this year than last when the Jayhawkers got such a scare on Thanksgiving day and won out by only 4 to 0.
Nebraska also has a record team this year. Saturday in their first game they met Doane and came out with a 43 to 0 lead.
The Republican Club has secured the names of 250 students who can vote at the election this fall. These are entered as voters on the rolls of the Republican Club down town. The National Central Committee will give free transportation to students living in doubtful districts, not only in Kansas but in neighboring states.

Scrubs Play Wentworth.
The 'Varsity scrub football team played the Wentworth Military Academy team at Lexington yesterday and was defeated by a score of 16 to 0. Lack of team work and having no substitutes along caused the downfall of the Kansans.
BAKER! SHAME!
METHODISTS ON A RAMPAGE FRIDAY NIGHT.
Tore Shirt off Prof. Smith and "Ronghed" City "Cop"-Some Arrests May Follow.
Down at Baker the jolly Methodists have been having a regular reform school mutiny again. The other night the boisterous Bakerites got out en masse and tore the night shirt off of a retired missionary who is now attempting to teach the natives of Baldwin a few things; caught the village "cop" out alone and proceeded to roll him in the dust until he nearly choked to death, all the time rending the air with wierd cries of"We want football." They then proceeded to visit all the homes of the faculty members serenading them with the yell of"We want football, we want football." In front of a professors house they built a fire and danced wierd dances all night.
It is said there were three hundred students engaged in the melee. They went to the house of Professor Julius Smith and began creating a disturbance which Smith could not stand, although he was for a number of years a missionary among savages. Smith got out of bed and tackled the angry Methodists. He blackened the eyes of several of them before they got the better of the fighting parson and then they proceeded to do things to him that made him feel wretched and unhappy. He called out the village police squad, consisting of one crippled old soldier. "Old Soldier" was wallowed in the ground and dragged down a road that was covered with dust. He was greatly offended, Professor Smith and the "cop" assert that they will arrest every one of the students who had "a part in planning or a hand in executing the wicked deeds."
The students went on the rampage because the faculty would not listen to their demand to play football. The board of trustees has voted to allow football but the faculty has not yet consented and Professor Smith has been one of the most rabid professors against the game.
Twenty-four chorus singers and a few solo parts for the opera, "The Princess Ida," are to be selected by competition. Students who wish to try should present themselves at the Dick Building at the following hours: Girls, Thursday at 5:00 P.M.; men, Wednesday at 7:30 P.M.
Tryout For Opera.
FRESHMAN ELECTION
FRESHMEN HOLD ELECTION UNDISTURBED TODAY.
Chancellor Strong Advised Them to Take the Place of Freshmen.
The freshman class met in Fraser Hall to-day noon and held a quiet and successful election of permanent class officers. Chancellor Strong opened the meeting with a short talk. He advised the freshmen to take the place assigned to them and to play the part of freshmen. He complimented the class on numbers and scholarship and told them to be loyal to the University and then to the class.
The election was then held in an orderly manner unhindered by designing upperclassmen. The first year men were watching the corners for the enemy and were quaking in their boots. Clark A. Wallace was elected president; French, vice-president; Miss Harriet Rundle, secretary; and Rankin, treasurer.
BARBER MAKES DISCOVERY
Arouses Interest in Paper Read Before Tuberculosis Congress. —Result of Years of Work.
That the only immunity from tuberculosis is to be had through inoculation with increasing numbers of tubercule bacilli is the theory set forth by Professor M. A. Barber in a paper read before the International Tuberculosis Congress at Washington on Thursday. Professor Barber's paper is attracting a great deal of interest among medical men and scientists all over the country.
The new theory is the result of a long series of experiments carried on by Professor Barber at the Rosedale Medical laboratories. It was found that beginning with a single tubule germ on a guinea pig the number could be increased to thousands without fatal results. The use of anthrax germs on mice gave the same results.
The experiments were made possible by Professor Barber's invention of an apparatus consisting of tiny pipettes, by which a single bacteria can be drawn from a colony, and the exact number needed for an experiment can be used.
The Alpha Taus gave a party at their chapter house Saturday evening. Hal Lebrecht, Glen Morris, and Charles Price, all of Kansas City were up for the occasion.
TO GIVE OPERA
"PRINCESS IDA" TO BE PRESENTED BY FINE ARTS.
First Tryout Thursday—Chorus of Twenty-four Persons to be Selected for Cast.
Gilbert and Sullivan's opera "Princess Ida" will be given by the Fine Arts School December 10th, 11th, and 12th. This opera is based on the story of Tennyson's "Princess" and is a satire on higher education for women. The place of the action is a woman's college. Three men enrol in disguise. The plot centers around this trio.
The chorus of twenty-four people will be selected from the whole University. The first tryout will be held next Thursday at the Dick Building at 5:00 p.m.for ladies and 7:00 p.m. Wednesday for men. The principal parts in the opera will be assigned to prominent voice students but no selections have been definitely made by the faculty as yet. The instrumental music will be rendered by the University orchestra. Practice will begin next week.
Dean Skilton will act as general director. Miss Mossler will have charge of the dramatic action, Miss Flintom and Miss Hubbell of the vocal music. Costumes will be ordered from New York and new scenery will be purchased.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The writer can remember, there are perhaps but few students in the University who can not remember how when they left home the Methodist preacher came around and with tears in his eyes, tears like a crocidile sheds, deplored the fact that those in whom he was so deeply interested were going to a school so wicked as the University instead of to Baker where the halo of piety makes the collection of "black sheep" from Kansas homes, known as the Baker student body, mild and tame and—good in the orthodox sense. But if the good preachers and Methodists would keep informed of what goes on at Baker they would be convinced that at least a few humans have slipped into the folds of saints at the little school.
The fact that Tebeau had lowered the rental of his base ball park to a reasonable amount and that the Athletic Board had unanimously accepted the contract, led everyone to believe that the Thanksgiving game riddle was finally solved. At the last minute Missouri has refused to accept Tebeau's terms and is trying to open negotiations with Kansas, which if begun will last probably until the middle of November and leave things in a worse muddle than they were a month ago. Missouri will greatly facilitate matters all around, if she accepts the terms and signs the contract without quibbling or arguing.
Already the annual pre Thanksgiving predictions are beginning to fill the papers telling what a crushing defeat the Jayhawkers are going to suffer at the hands of the Tigers when they meet them at Kansas City. So it has always been, but the "dopesters" have always received an antidote for their optimism on each Turkey day.
In the list of musical organizations published in the last issue of the Kansan there appears no mention of the mandolin club. The mandolin club was one of the best advertising mediums among the student enterprises. An effort should be made to revive it.
Considering that freshman Humphreys of Junction City has a father who is a Phi Psi and a mother who is a Pi Phi it seems somewhat ungrateful that Humphrey had the door slammed in his face when borne to the Pi Phi house, escorted by a Phi Psi.
It appears that Doc. Hetherington has gotten a better proposition from some one else than he has from Kansas City. Come on now managers, loosen up, let's hear just what the propositions are.
Mission Committee Meet.
Members of the mission study committees of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. met Sunday afternoon with Prof. and Mrs. W. C. Payne to discuss their work for the year. Miss Roxana Oldroyd, '04, and Chas. A. Siler, '07, were present and added interest to the meeting. Mr. Siler was accompanied by his sister who is a missionary teacher in Porto Rico.

PARADE WELL ATTENDED.
Boys in Sheets and "Nighties" Made Things Lively Saturday.
The annual "night-shirt" parade was held by the students last Saturday evening. The custom is to have it after the first football game of the season but on account of the rainy season of a week ago, it was postponed for a week.
About three hundred boys gathered at seven-thirty in the park and marched up Massachusetts street, punctuating their progress with "Rock, Chalk," and "Hail, Hail, the Gang's all Here."
They went to the home of "Uncle Jimmy" Green where they found the Chancellor and some other members of the faculty. The Chancellor and Uncle Jimmy dressed in the garb of the hour made short addresses to the crowd. The ghostly gathering then returned to the main street and marched the full length, winding back and across the street in snake fashion. At the Smoke house the proprietor handed each one a cigar. From there they went to the Nickle where they were
entertained by the management. After this the gang broke up and the boys straggled home.
The parade as an annual affair was only instituted after the abolition of class scraps in '05. When peace was declared and no scraps were held, the parade was instituted in order to let the freshmen work off the surplus energy. Every year since after the first football game in the fall this parade has taken place.
The girls of the Y. W. C. A. boarding club took a hay rack ride to Cameron's Bluffs Saturday afternoon. They ate picnic supper in the woods and brought back ten bushels of walnuts.

Delighted Republican Candidate with "Rock Chalk" Yell.
Two hundred students went to Topeka with the band Saturday evening to take part in the big Taft demonstration there. The University band marched with the Tapeka flambeau club in the parade and later in the evening the University contingent gathered in front of the speaker's stand and rent the atmosphere with K. U. yells for the delectation of the Republican candidate. Most of the men came back Saturday night, but a number visited friends in Topeka over Sunday.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME V.
AGGIES HERE SATURDAY
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 8,1908.
TEAM IS GETTING IN SHAPE FOR BIG GAMES.
Reed and Crowell Will Probably Be Out of Game Saturday—Hennessey Probably Out for Season
The first of the big games of this football season is Saturday. On that day the Aggies will come over to have their annual fight with Kansas. The Farmers have seven old men on their team and will put up their usual good games.
The Jayhawker squad is gradually being sifted down and will soon assume shape for the season. The line-up Saturday will be the regular line-up with a few exceptions. The ends will be Pleasant, Rice, and Houghton; the tackles Crowell, Caldwell, and Speer; the guards, Reed, Wood, Randall and Jolly. Carlson will likely be center, and Steele and Johnson are the two strong candidates for quarter.
The remainder of the back field will be picked from a dozen men. Waring and Houghton have the call for left half, Bond and Fiske for right half, and Stephenson and Dahlene for full.
Coach Kennedy is well pleased with the work of the line on both offensive and defensive work. The back field is not doing well on defense however. The coach is dissatisfied with the defensive work of Bond, Fiske and Dahlene. These three men can carry the ball well and will be valuable as soon as they learn to help the runner and run interference
Captain Crowell and Reed may not play Saturday. Both these veterans have bad knees. Hennessey, a likely candidate for end, had his shoulder dislocated last night and is out for the rest of the season.
The kicking department is bad off this year. Steele is a good onside kicker, Johnson punts better than any man on the team, Bond is an expert drop kicker, Stephenson's forte is place kicking, and Dahlene is the star goal kicker. These five men do what one man ought to do. All five can hardly be in the game at one time and an effort is being made to make one man able to do nearly all the kicking for the team.
Mary Williams, a sophomore in the college last year, is visiting her sister Lucy.
TENNIS MEN BUSY.
Will Practice All Winter in the Gymnasium.
A University tennis tryout will be held this week. Each man will play every other opponent who enters the tournament. The eight players who make the best scores will constitute the University squad. The work is under the direction of Doctor Naismith and Manager Lansdon. Games will be scheduled with Missouri, Nebraska, Baker and St. Mary's this fall. After these are played the squad will continue indoor practice work in the Gymnasium until spring when the class tournament will be played.
The first tryout will be played Tuesday afternoon between Bigelow and Lee. Other games have been scheduled.
PUTNAM THROWS HAMMER.
NUMBER 9
Breaks Oxford Record Fifteen Feet Made Long Throw Here in '07.
George Putnam a former University of Kansas student, now a Rhodes Scholarship man at Oxford, is throwing the hammer from ten to fifteen feet farther than the Oxford record which is 136 feet. Putnam was at Yale last year but could not make the track team there on account of the one year rule.
While here in 1907 he established a record of 145 feet, one inch in the hammer throw. It has not been broken here. Putnam is receiving much comment in New York,Boston and Kansas City papers.
Masque Club Elects.
The Masque Club met at the Theta house last evening. Miss Gertrude Mossler was secured as director for the Club, in order that it may be put on a strictly University basis. Miss Mossler is instructor in the elocution department. A tryout will be held this evening in Fraser Hall. The purpose of the tryout will be to get a line on desirable material for the play which is to be given some time before the holidays.
Thespians Meet.
At the first annual meeting of the Thespian dramatic club held in Fraser Hall it was decided to hold a tryout for new members on Wednesday, October 14. This tryout will be held under the personal direction of Miss Georgia Brown, of Kansas City. The tryout is open to all students of the University.
UPTON SINCLAIR WAS HERE
TALKED TO SCOOP CLUB ON ACADEMIC FREEDOM.
Professors Are Not Free to Say What They Think, is Sinclair's Opinion.
Upton Sinclair, novelist and literary socialist, whose book, "The Jungle," caused the Government investigation of the Chicago stock yards and was influential in securing the passage of the pure food law, stopped off between trains at Lawrence yesterday afternoon as the guest of Harry Kemp. Mr. Sinclair made a short talk in Fraser Hall before the Scoop club and a few invited guests from the University faculty.
Upton Sinclair had all the appearances of a freshman. In fact one of the professors when introduced to him, not knowing that he was the famous novelist, asked him if he intended entering the university. In his talk before the Scoop club he took for his subject, "Academic Freedom." He told of the immense power that was in the hands of the corporate interests of the country and how it was being used in many instances to control the teachings of the educational institutions of the country. He cited a number of instances where professors had been turned out of their positions because they dared express what they thought. Woodberry and McDowell of Columbia; Professor Triggs, of Chicago; and Professor Ross, of Leland Stanford, were among those he named. He said the College of the City of New York was absolutely under the control of politicians and that no books of a liberal nature were allowed in its library.
In reply to a question raised by the Chancellor as to whether such conditions existed in the state universities he told of a scheme that is now on foot in the University of Wisconsin to remove some of the members of the faculty who were thought to be too liberal in their expression on political subjects. Professor Ross, who was removed from Leland Stanford, is now the head of the Sociology and Economics department of Wisconsin and has recently published a book called, "Sin and Society."
Sinclair impressed those who heard him as a man well informed on economics and at
the same time a great observer of conditions as they exist. He has a pleasant and innocent smile that only added to the sarcasm of some of the stories he told of conditions as they exist in the industrial sections of the country.
Mr. Sinclair left last evening at 6 o'clock for California. He was accompanied as far as Wamego by Harry Kemp.
FRESHMAN HAS APPENDICITIS
Harry A. West is Ill at 1403 Tennessee Street.
Harry A. West, a freshman in the College, is confined to his room at 1403 Tennessee street by a sudden attack of appendicitis. Owing to his critical condition he was not taken to the University Hospital. He has been taken care of by the executive committee of the Hospital association, assisted by the wives of Professors Olin Templin, W. C. Hoad, W. J. Baumgartner, A. M. Wilcox, and E. H. S. Bailey.
His father, a physician of Yates Center, arrived yesterday morning and after an examination and consultation an operation was deemed not necessary.
West's condition is much improved today and gives promise of a quick recovery.
Publish New Bulletin.
A committee meeting was held yesterday afternoon to discuss the publication of a new series of University Bulletins. It has been proposed to run a double series of the Bulletin, continuing the Science Bulletin as at present and beginning the publication of a new series devoted to humanistic research. No action was taken at the meeting. The committee was adjourned on call of the chairman, Professor F. H. Hodder, who will investigate the matter further.
Student Volunteers Elect.
The Student Volunteers for Foreign Missions met Tuesday evening at Myers Hall for the purpose of organization. Fred E. Lee was elected president and Miss Leota Lentz, secretary and treasurer.
The Volunteer Band meets at seven every Tuesday evening at Myers Hall.
Notice.
There will be a meeting of the Scoop club at the Sig Alph house tonight at 7:30. It is important that all members attend.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Upton Sinclair in his talk before the Scoop club yesterday on "Academic Freedom" voiced some ideas that have been in the minds of a good many who have viewed the trend of events in educational affairs in this country. The freedom of investigation is not so pronounced here as in England. Of course it cannot be expected that privately endowed schools will tolerate freedom of thought, but it is sometimes difficult to find it even in a State institution. But the University has one advantage. It has a fighting chance. If Sinclair is to be consistent in his ideas of government he will have to admit that state universities have a better chance to establish freedom of thought than have the private institutions. The greatest impediment to freedom of speech in a state university is the opinions of the people upon whom the school depends for its support. To certain extents the opinions of the professor must accord with the popular opinions of the people, especially on political ideas and religion. The people for whom the state university professor works are almost as tyrannical and have not the saving grace of intelligence usually found in the donor of a great institution.
From the manner in which the freshmen conducted the voting in their class election Tuesday it would seem that there are more possibilities in a university course for our new freshman than for any other class that ever climbed the hill. It required the depositions of credible eye-witnesses to make the public believe that any class above the eighth grade would elect its officers by a standing vote on straight tickets. Verily, the freshmen got to the University not a minute to soon.
The plan of commencing the football games earlier in the day than was done last year has resulted in great convenience to the public and if it is carried
out to the end of the season it probably will be unnecessary for the rooters to carry lanterns to enable them to see the plays in the last half.
Professor Blackmar a Delegate.
Prof. F. W. Blackmar returned Sunday evening from Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he has been attending the Irrigation Congress. Prof. Blackmar was appointed by Governor Hoch as a delegate from Kansas.
This is a national congress, though it is becoming international. The Albuquerque meeting was the sixteenth annual congress. The object of the irrigation congress is the development and promotion of irrigation in the arid lands. The chief subjects for discussion were the state and government control of waters for irrigation, inland water-ways and forests, the work of the reclamation service and geological survey and forestry bureau.
Faculty to Play Golf.
A faculty golf club was organized Tuesday afternoon at a meeting called in Fraser Hall for that purpose. Professor F. W.Blackmar was made chairman and Professor C.C. Crawford, secretary-treasurer. A committee was appointed to get the grounds of the north campus in shape for playing.
Geo. M. March of the Phi Psis is president of the Pan Hellenic.

To Develop Track Men.
This year a new plan which will materially assist in the selection of men for the track team will be followed. Instead of attending regular classes in the gymnasium as heretofore all who have enrolled are exercising out-doors in la crosse and cross country running. This is done to develop speed and at the same time show the best qualities of every man. Coach Hagerman will have charge of these men. This out-door work will continue until November 18 when each man will be assigned to the place for which he is best fitted. Already some excellent material in high-jumping has showed up.
The Graduate Magazine.
The Graduate Magazine, published by the Alumni Association of the University of Kansas has a circulation of 2,100. There are 3,500 graduates. It is not known how many are deceased The Magazine keeps the alumni informed concerning events in and around the University as well as outside events that have a bearing upon the institution. In addition to the news feature of the publication, articles of some length are contributed by alumni members and others. There has been no set attempt to make the publication a literary magazine. L. N. Flint, secretary of the Association, is editor and manager.

GUINEA PIGS
UNIVERSITY WILL HAVE FARM FOR USE OF SCIENTISTS.
One Hundred Each Month to be Supplied by C. W. White— Used in Tuberculosis Tests.
The inoculation of guinea pigs to test the presence of tuberculosis in the Kansas milk supply will soon be begun by Professors F. H. Billings and F.U.Agreliius, who are conducting the analysis of milk for the State Board of Health. The guinea pig farm will be conducted by Mr.C.W. White, the University instrument maker, at his place west of town. He is under contract to supply 100 guinea pigs a month to the department if that number is needed.
The work of the milk testing laboratory thus far has been taken up with the problems of age, temperature and cleanliness of milk, but in about two weeks the tests on guinea pigs for tuberculosis will begin. This will be the first investigation ever carried on to determine whether or not there are tuberculous cows in Kansas. If the State milk supply contains the germs of the "white plague," the guinea pig farm is depended on to make the fact known.
Mission Study Courses.
The Y.M.C.A.mission study courses for the fall term have been selected. Classes on various phases of foreign missions and one on the immigration problem in America will begin during the week of October 11, and will run ten weeks. These classes will be conducted by Professor and Mrs.W.C.Payne,Dr.F.A. Wilber,secretary J.P.Hagerman and two student leaders, F.E.Livengood and H.F Draper.The classes will be held on different evenings of the week at Y.M.C.A.headquarters in Myers Hall.Dr. Wilber's class on the study of Immigration will meet at the Westminster House. 1125 Tennessee street.
Five Delegates to Columbus.
Secretary Hagerman has received word that the University of Kansas will be allowed but five representatives including the faculty member at the International Y. M.C.A.convention to be held at Columbus, Ohio, October 22. Harry Herman and Ralph Spotts will accompany Mr.Hagerman. Chancellor Strong will also attend as he has a place on the program.
Industrial Chemistry Endorsed.

FALL REGATTA KILLED.
Will Hold Indoor Water Contests Instead.—Water Polo Team.
Twenty students interested in water sports met in Doctor Naismith's office Tuesday and laid away to rest the idea of a fall regatta. It was decided to give instead a series of indoor meets to be held about once a month. The first one will be in three weeks. The events which will be open for entries in these contests are relay and swimming races, diving, plunging, rescue race, tub race, log rolling race, exhibition diving and swimming, and a polo game. Cowell and Loomis were appointed to pick the teams for the game.
A University polo team will be started as soon as the athletic board meets and appoints a chairman of the rowing committee. The chairman elected at the general election last spring is not in school this year and it is impossible to do anything until the position is filled.
Miss Brown will be here a week from tomorrow for an all afternoon tryout. About 25 people wanted.
Miss LeOra Strahl will open a dancing school in Smith Hall Saturday evening, October 10. Class from 8 to 9. Social dance 9:30 to 11:30.

SEND SPECIMENS TO SCHOOLS.
Zoology Department Furnishing Laboratories over State.
The zoology department is preparing supplies to send out to the various high schools over the state. For several years there have been urgent demands upon the University to furnish supplies for laboratory work, especially to the accredited high schools. These demands are now able to be fulfilled through the efforts of Professor W.J.Baumgarter and his assistants, H.T.Martin,Dallas Hanna,and W.R.Robertson,who spent the summer along the coast of Texas collecting specimens. Many new specimens were found. One was a large green turtle weighing over three hundred pounds. These specimens will be used for research work. The collectors had their headquarters at Tarpon on the Aransas Pass.

The results of these analyses are published in the Kansas State Board of Health Bulletin. Should the adulteration prove to be of such a character as to warrant prosecution Dr. Crumbine, secretary of the State Board of Health will proceed with the case.

NEW FOOTBALL SONG.
Roy Burdick Writes Words to Yale Tune-Be Sung Saturday.
A new football song, entitled "Down the Field" will be introduced to the students Saturday at the Manhattan game. The words were arranged by Roy Burdick. The tune is that of the old Yale football song, "Down the Field."
Copies of this song will be given to the students at chapel tomorrow morning. These copies should be brought to the game Saturday.
"March, march on down the field,
Fighting for Kansas;
Break through the Tiger's line
And beat old Misson—
We'll give a acheer for Kansas' men,
We're here to win the game.
Old Mission may fight to the end,
But Kansas will will."
Plans are being made to issue a pamphlet containing all the K. U. yells and songs. These will be distributed at each game, so that the students may become acquainted with them before the annual Thanksgiving game between Missouri and Kansas.

Announcement to Students
I have quite a number of good, new up-to-date young men's suits, manufactured by Stein, Block & Capps and Hart Schaffner & Marx. Now these suits have formerly sold at from $18 to $30. But I expect to close out this stock at earliest possible time and in order to make everyone buy a suit whether he needs it or not I have cut the price to just one-half their former value. You can own a high-grade suit now at less than the price of a cheap one. Open evenings.

THE KANSAN.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME V.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 10, 1908.
K. U. 12; K. S. A. C. 6
Twelve to six was the final score in a game replete with sensational and long end runs in which it looked like for some time at the beginning of the second half that the Jayhawkers were doomed to meet defeat. In the beginning of the second half the score was tied and it was only a pretty quarter kick by Steele caught by Caldwell that saved the day for Kansas. Manhattan could gain nothing through the Kansas line, but their back field was faster than the Kansas back field and it was to this fact they owe their score.
FIRST HALF.
KENNEDY'S PUPILS GET A BAD SCARE.
Aggies Put up Great Game Their Back Field Was Fast in Second Half.
In the first half the K. U. players were manifestly nervous. Several easy punts were missed and many a yard was lost by unfortunate fumbles. K. U. should have made two or more touchdowns in the half but errors at critical times robbed the team of its gains.
From the time Kansas kicked off thirty-five yards till the end of the half the fighting was hard. Neither team made a great many first downs and the forward pass was a failure. The Jayhawkers did well with the onside kick. Each team was penalized for a total of 30 yards.
After a series of punts and line bucks in which neither team gained an advantage Manhattan made the first first-down on line plunges. Randel for the Aggies went through Kansas for 10 yards but his team lost the ball on downs.
Bond was given the ball and reeled off twenty yards in a brilliant run, and Kansas made first down on line bucks. Pleasant got an onside kick for 15, and Waring, who replaced Fiske, made it seven more. The ball was then on Manhattan's five-yard line and here the Farmers put up a brilliant fight. Twice the Jayhawk onslaught gained not an inch but on the third attempt "Bill" Caldwell went over for a touchdown. Dahlene kicked goal.
Manhattan kicked off to Kansas and at once Captain Crowell's band started a march down the field. Johnson returned the punt 15 yards, Bond and Caldwell took the ball ten yards further, Manhattan was penalized 15 yards, K. U. lost the ball on a fumble but immediately regained the ball and 15 yards by blocking a kick. The half ended with the ball on the Aggies 20 yard line in the possession of Kansas.
Score: K. U., 6; K. S. A. C., 0.
NUMBER 10
SECOND HALF.
It was in the opening part of the second half that the Farmers played football. Bates had been placed at quarter and Christian at left half. Spear, the fastest man on the farmers' aggregation, was taken off end and placed in the back field. Manhattan kicked off to Kansas. Warring carried the ball to the 20 yard line, Kansas punted and lost the ball and on a left end play Spear the speedy half of the farmers carried the ball from the fifty-five yard line across the goal for a touchdown.
Manhattan kicked goal.
Stevenson went in at Dahlenes place, Steele took quarter and Johnson replaced Waring at half. For Kansas Billy Rice plowed through the Aggies for 20 yards; and then with the ball on the Aggies 45 yard line Steele placed a beautiful onside kick fair into Caldwell's waiting arms. Big Bill took the ball for the 45 yards and for the game.
K. U. kicked off to Manhattan and Christian carried the ball back 30 yards. Spear again took the pig-skin and took it across the goal line again. Fortunately for K. U. he was penalized and Kansas got the ball soon after.
Score: Kansas,12; K.S.A.C.,6.

Acacias Gave Smoker.
The Acacias entertained with a smoker at the chapter house last night. About fifty Masons, including faculty and student members, were present. The out-of-town guests were: Albert K. Wilson, Grand Secretary of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of the State of Kansas, and W.C.Bullen of Liverpool England. The evening was spent in playing whist and in social discourse, the primary purpose being to get the Masons of the University better acquainted, and to extend to new members the welcome of the Kansas chapter of Acacia. W.C.Bullen spoke on English Masonry as compared with the American work. It was interesting and instructive, and entirely new to the members here. Professors Higgins, Humble, Bushong, and Blackmar, and Messrs. Comb, L.E.Mason and Erickson then made a few remarks about Acacia as viewed from a business and a Masonic standpoint.
SECRET MEETING
FRESHMEN TALKED FAST BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
Members of Class of 1912 Grew Eloquent about Rules and Headgear—Appointed Lid Committee
In a heated secret session yesterday noon in Fraser Hall, the Freshmen voted to totally ignore the "Ten Commandments" as revised by the upperclassmen and to choose a distinctive class cap of modest hue. Clark A. Wallace, the presiding officer, was kept busy with the storm of angry protests and motions that were hurled at him during the meeting. Parliamentary rules were thrown to the winds by the youthful orators as they urged the members of the class with burning words to stand by the flag of 1912.
The question of a student council was discussed. It was agreed that such a body was needed by the class. Resolutions to ignore the "Ten Commandments" and to choose a class cap were presented by Mr. Johnson. They were accepted unanimously by the class.
The president appointed Babb, Johnson, Coleman and Dee as a committee to select the caps. The secretary was instructed not to divulge any of the proceedings of the meeting and that is the reason it is being kept quiet. The class will meet next week to hear the report of the cap committee.
ATHLETIC BOARD MEMBERS.
Chancellor Appoints Profs. Boynton and Murray to Fill Vacancies
Chancellor Strong has appointed Professors Earl Murray and A.J.Boynton to the Athletic board to take the places made vacant by resignation of Professors A. T.Walker and J.N.Van der Vries. Both of the new appointees are among the younger members of the faculty and have taken an active interest in athletics.
The faculty members of the board are: C. E. McClung, C. Becker, James Naismith, Earl Murray, and A. J. Boynton. The student members are Carl Pleasant, Carl Rouse, Robert Worline, with the fourth member yet to be elected by the students to take the place made vacant by the graduation of Milton Miller, who is attending the Cincinnati Medical School.
A meeting has been called by President Green for Monday noon for the re-organization of the board. The election for the new member will be held in two weeks.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Hospital Association has as yet only 465 members and it takes 700 to make the association a success. The fee is only $2.00. There is not a father or mother in Kansas but what would be anxious for their son or daughter in the University to join the association if it were explained to them. Next letter you write home explain the matter to the "folks at home" and see if you can't get $2.00 extra and do it before October 15, for after that date the fee will be $3.00.
Washington University has a daily paper which is issued in the morning. The professors in the school are making an effort to change it to an evening paper because the students spend all the morning class hours reading the paper. One professor says to attract the attention of the students he must get more sensational than the college paper and that he considers impossible.
This is the year the University is to ask the legislature to open up its pocketbook and it is not too early for the newspaper men of the University to begin a campaign of education. Not so much a campaign of commission as of omission. Just omit some of the saffron hued stories that are so profitable and write just a little more of the real truth.
The Lawrence Gazette, with true enterprise, states that "the press dispatches say that Upton Sinclair stopped off in Lawrence to see Harry Kemp." There are only a few newspaper offices left in Kansas where the editor, in order to be always near his base of supplies, clips his local news from the metropolitan dailies.
The only kinds of "kicks" the Kansan solicits are those of subscribers who fail to get their paper. There is always trouble in getting the delivery of papers started and subscribers are invited to kick and kick hard if they fail to get their paper.
The Lawrence World was the only Lawrence paper that contained an account of Upton Sinclair's visit to the city. But that fact is easily explained when it is known that the editor of the World is a member of the Scoop Club.

COACHES NOT SATISFIED
MANHATTAN GAME SHOWED WEAK POINTS.
Men Listless and Slow on Getting into Game—Put on Training Table Saturday.
After the football game Saturday evening the members of the football team went on the training table at the Eldridge house. The most likely men are at the table and the team will be picked almost entirely from them. Carlson, Reed, Crowell, Caldwell, Rice, Pleasant, Waring and Stephenson, old "K"men, and Wood, Randall, Steele, Johnson, Fiske, Bond and Dahlene, the more likely new candidates, are being kept in condition at the down town hotel.
The game last Saturday was not satisfactory to the coaches in many ways. The line is big and solid, the back field is fairly fast and heady, and yet they are not producing results. The Aggies got through the line Saturday far too often, and the Farmer defense could scarcely be bored through by the heavy Jayhawker line.
Coach Kennedy is making frantic efforts to get the team going right before Oklahoma comes at the end of this week. Bennie Owens has a team this year that has made a good record so far, and the Kansas coaches are looking for a hard fight.
One thing noticeable was the listlessness of some players. The men got into the play slowly many times and acted as if they did not care what came. Every single Aggie ran decide the color of the buttons, down under punts. Ten of the Kansan players loafed and trusted the eleventh man to get the ball.
Kansas Stands Pat.
NUMBER 11
Missouri is still corresponding with Manager Lansdon concerning the Thanksgiving game. Kansas does not care to compromise at all and is standing pat on the contract with Tebeau binding Kansas to play the game in Kansas City.

TO WEAR BLACK CAPS
FRESHMEN AND PANHELLENIC DECIDE ON COVERS.
Chancellor Appoints Committee to Assist in Revising Rules— Faculty to Enforce Them.
At a meeting of the Pan-Hellenic held yesterday at the Sigma Nu house it was decided to make the caps which fraternity freshmen are to wear black or dark blue with colored buttons denoting the school to which the "respective freshman" belongs.
The Chancellor today appointed a committee composed of Professors Higgins, Murray and Becker to confer with a student committee of upperclassmen in regard to the revision of the rules for freshmen. If the rules are revised and made absolutely fair to all concerned the faculty will then get back of a move to enforce them and a mass meeting will be called in chapel at which a permanent student council will be elected.
Freshmen Decide on Headgear.
At a meeting of the freshman class today at 1 o'clock a report from the cap committee was heard. It recommended a dark blue cap for all the freshmen, but the button is to vary in color according to the school the student is enrolled in. The college, laws, engineers, medics, etc., will all have different colored buttons. A committee for each school was appointed to decide on the color the certain school will adopt.
The cap committee was composed of the following: Babb, chairman; Allen, Dees, Charles, Larson, Johnson and Coleman. The following committees were appointed to select the color of the buttons: College; Garland and Miss Kelley; Engineers, Rauch; Laws, Holls; and Pharmacy, Van Bibber.
At the meeting it was decided to hold a dance one week from Friday night and the social committee appointed was composed of: Lewis Doyle, chairman, Lon Buzich, Glen Ferguson, Zimmerman, Bert Stauffer
Near the end of the meeting, George Rauch made a motion to exclude the upperclassmen, who had congregated in the rear of the room. There was but one dissenting vote. President Wallace appointed Van Bibber sergeant-at-arms. He proceeded to select his deputies to help oust the upperclassmen but the chairman spoke in behalf of the unwelcome guests and Van Bibber did not throw anyone out.

LAW BANQUET
GIVE ANNUAL FEAST AT ELD-
RIDGE HOTEL OCTOBER 29.
Next Day Is a Holiday in Honor of "Uncle Jimmy."—Banquet Early This Year.
The annual banquet of the law school in honor of Dean Green will be given Thursday evening, October 29, at the Eldridge hotel. The day following the feast has been declared a holiday for the laws and will be celebrated as "Uncle Jimmy's" day.
Winfield Scott, president of the senior laws, has appointed three committees to make arrangements for the banquet. Walter Brown, L. Taylor and W.J.Ise will look after the general features of the entertainment. W.B.Ferguson, H. L.Rogers and J.E.Teeters will arrange the program. H.C.Reed, Irwin Snattinger and O.H. Lee will look after the financial end. Attorney-General Fred Jackson and other prominent speakers will be secured for the occasion.
Dean J. W. Green beloved by every member of the law school and affectionately called "Uncle Jimmy" by the boys, has been a member of the University faculty thirty years. He is sixty-four years old. The law building which was dedicated November 3, 1905, was named in his honor. Every year the laws hold a banquet and have a holiday in honor of "Uncle Jimmy." It is generally held during dedication week, but this year was placed at an early date to avoid conflict with election.
Notice to the Faculty.
A meeting is called for Friday afternoon at 4:30 in Fraser Hall, room 15, to which all members of the University faculty are invited, who are interested in the formation of a University club. The report of a temporary committee is to be made on the project and all men of the faculty are urged to be present.
Van der Vries in Chapel.
Dr.J.N. Van der Vries talked in chapel this morning on his experiences in Europe this summer. He visited many of the old states and spent some time in Holland. He was impressed with the ignorance and self-conceit of the foreigners. He said that their veils of Americans were amusing and incorrect.
James W. Malcolmson, mining engineer of Kansas City, will speak on "The Value of Gold" at the Mining Journal meeting tomorrow. The meeting will be neld at 4:30 in the lecture room of Snow Hall.
BACHELORS TO HAVE CLUB
UNMARRIED FACULTY MEM-
BERS TO BUILD.
A Committee of Five Men at Work on the Scheme-Meeting Friday.
Thirty bachelor members of the University faculty met at the Alpha Tau house last Monday evening and started plans that will probably result in the erection of a faculty club house sometime in the near future. Professor A. J. Boynton, of the economics department, was chairman of the meeting and is the originator of the idea that promises to change materially the social life of the unmarried members of the faculty.
"The idea of a faculty club house has been discussed for some time by the bachelors of the faculty. The plans are quite indefinite, but the building will in all probability be erected. It will be similar to club houses of other universities. It will contain reception and lounging rooms. Some men will be permitted to room on the second floor. Cafe service will be a prominent feature of the house," said Professor Boynton this morning to a Kansan reporter.
The plan met with great favor with the men present at the meeting. A committee composed of Professors J. N. Van der Vries, D. L. Patterson, S. L. Whitcomb, H. W. Humble and E. E. Brown, secretary of the University, was appointed to look into the advisability of the scheme. These men will report at the meeting which has been called for Friday afternoon.
It developed at the meeting that seventeen new members of the faculty this year are bachelors.
TENNIS FLOURISHING.
Large Number of Men at Work in Tournament—Will Pick Team.
The fall tennis tournament is progressing rapidly. Twentythree men have entered and twenty-one matches have been played.
Watson, Bigelow, Purton and Farnsworth are playing a good game and will probably be the first squad. Lee, Wood, and Uhrlaub are also making good scores. Several match sets are being played each day.
The players who have entered are: Watson, Farnsworth, Hawkinson, Hoffman, Knerr, Louderback, Wellington, Seddon, Bigelow, Purton, Bragg, Leland, Lee, Wood, Marshall, Brain, Johnston, Uhrlaub, Casey, Riesen, Richardson, Bellows.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
But two days remain in which to join the hospital association on the fee of two dollars. In two days time the officers of the association who have worked so hard to establish it will know whether or not all their labor has been a failure. It is expected that nearly all those who intend to join will do so in the next two days, for after that the fee will be three dollars. The association yet needs a large number of members to make the necessary 700 that are needed for the life of the organization.
Are the students of the University going to let such a worthy enterprise fail because they will not support it? The cost is small, the good that may be derived is great. Already two or three students have realized the benefits of the association. There is no one who believes he is going to need the benefit of the association, but even suppose you never get sick you can afford to donate two dollars for the good of those less fortunate than yourself. Three hundred students should pay in their two dollars to the association before day after tomorrow.
The Daily Missourian, the paper issued by the School of Journalism at the University of Missouri is now well on its feet. It contains both telegraph news and local news, city news and university news. It is a good newspaper, but when that is said the story is told. It has on it the odor of the laboratory and is woefully lacking in its editorial department. It surreptitiously avoids the discussion or the taking of sides in any affair pertaining to the university and confines its editorials to such subjects as "A European War," "Export of Canned Goods." Such subjects manifestly have no local interest and remind one of the finished experiment of an embryo journalist. The paper must be a great addition to the school of journalism and it is ideally "made-up" but as a live progressive newspaper answering to the ideal newspaper that those who lecture before the journalism students talk about it is a failure.
The enthusiasm manifested at the last game was about the weakest the student body has ever been guilty of exhibiting and the cheering was about the poorest ever. There is something radically wrong. It can not be that the University has lost its love of the game of football or the students their patriotism for the institution. The Kansan is inclined to believe the fault lies in the seating of the rooters at the game. No cheer leader can lead a crowd of rooters when they are separated as the crowd was at the last game. A section of the seating space should be set aside for the rooters and no one else allowed in it. And these seats should be free to all who want to come and add enthusiasm to the game.

K. U. NOTES.
One week of school and no drinks
A little early for unzizzes.
Don Yeoman is taking fifteen hours a week of about the hardest work on the hill, and has prospects of being a very good student—nevertheless and notwithstanding.
Leroy Cannon has been "fussing around with the ladies so much that his landlady has cut his roomrent down to halt; she's just ashamed to take the money.
A big football game was played here Saturday—State Normal 0; K. U. 11. Here you buy an athletic ticket for $3.00, which admits to all the games and concerts of the year. If you paid for all by single admission it would cost you a little over $16.00.
Lewis and Glenn have gone "frat" and they have all they can do to keep away from the upperclassmen and the Freshman duties at their houses.
Don't know whether Happy is extremely devoted to his studies or whether he is deeply meditating a trip to Baker, but we hardly ever see him off the hill.
And speaking of the "hill", unless you have climbed Pike's Peak you have no idea what we have to do every day to reach old Mount Oread. If Bid Wolfe was up here for just one year we would give him such an expansion you wouldn't recognize him on his return.
All the boarding clubs here give dances nearly every week. Imagine some of our Kingman girls singing "Waltz me around again, Willie."
Here's hoping that old K. C. H.S. will have a string of victories on her gridiron this fall. We're not there in person but are immensely so in spirit.
Thespians Hold Tryout.
The Thespians will hold their final tryout Wednesday evening in Fraser Hall. Fifteen people are to be chosen. The tryout as well as the work for the coming year will be under the personal supervision of Miss Georgia Brown of Kansas City.
The Masque Club will hold a final tryout in Fraser Hall tonight. At the preliminary tryout last Thursday evening about fifty were present.

A NEW LINEUP IN NEXT GAME
---
DECIDED CHANGE IN RIGHT SIDE AND BACKFIELD.
Steele to Play Quarter and Myers and Johnson to Play Half— Good Game Expected.
For the Oklahoma game Saturday Coach Kennedy is going to shift his team about and give some new men a chance. Crowell will be put in at right guard, Rice will take right tackle, and Hennessee will go in at right end. The left side of the line will remain unchanged, with Reed or Randall, Caldwell and Pleasant on that wing. Steele will hold down the quarterback position and Johnson will be left half. Stan Myers, an old player, is booked for the other half and Stephenson will begin the game at full.
The team has been practicing hard all week. The coaches have been especially drilling the men in the forward pass and onside kick. Kennedy is endeavoring to make the onside kick a feature of the Jayhawkers' play this season. An onside kick is as easily caught as a forward pass and can not be penalized.
"Bennie" Owens, old K. U. star, has had success with his team so far this season. Last Saturday the Sooners defeated the Oklahoma Aggies, 18 to 10. The Aggies are being coached by Parry, assistant coach here last year. Oklahoma is playing real football and the contest will probably be as close and exciting as was the Mahnattan game.
Harvard Man Coming.
Professor Castle, assistant dean of Harvard University, will visit the University of Kansas, November 19 and 20. He will speak in chapel and talk to the students of the English department.
A Small Fire.
A small blaze broke out in the quantitative laboratory of the Chemistry building Tuesday. It was caused by the overheating of a gas burner, igniting the floor beneath. Very little damage was done.
Miss Lela Ford, a colored girl who graduated from the University in 1903, died at Birmingham, Kansas, last Sunday after a brief illness. She had for several years been a successful teacher in the public schools of Topeka.
INSPECTED TREES.
Chesky and Griesa Represented University in Wichita.
The University entomological department acting in conjunction with the state board, inspected trees in Wichita last summer. The department was represented by W. S. Griesa and V. E. Chesky, both advanced students in that line of work. The state commission is making every effort to save certain varieties of trees that are being exterminated by insects and disease.
Different kinds of trees were examined by the University men. If one was found in an early stage of disease it was marked with a certain color of paint. If it was found necessary to cut the tree down another mark was used.
The boys had several amusing experiences and at times were arrested by irate property owners who thought they were trespassing.
KENT, NEW HASKELL COACH,TALKS ABOUT JAYHAWKERS.
Team Is Weak in Backfield But Shows Great Possibilities.
Coach Kent, of Haskell Institute, formerly a star football player and last year quarter back at Iowa University, saw the Jayhawkers in action last Saturday. Kent is an authority on the new style of open play. He has seen the best teams of the west in the last few years.
In discussing the Kansas team to a reporter the Haskell coach said, "The K. U. line is big and strong. I don't see how any team on your schedule is going to get through that line. The line does bunch too much at times but they'll get over that in a short time.
"The team is strong on the onside kick," added the old star, "and that is one of the strongest assets of the open style. I regard it as much stronger than the forward pass. Your school should have a great team this season. The men are not going right as yet but they will come into their own pretty soon and no team in this section should have a great edge over them."
"The back field was somewhat slow Saturday. Punts are not caught as they ought to be. A little more speed in the backs and a couple of sure men to catch punts and the back field will be fair."
Ralph Feagle, engineer '08, is visiting at the University.
ST. JOSEPH OR KANSAS CITY?
ST. JOE STILL AFTER THANKS-GIVING GAME.
Representatives Met the Athletic Board Today—Good Proposition.
Dr. L. A. Todd, representing the St. Joseph alumni of the University, and Ray Calkins, representing the St. Joseph commercial club met with the Athletic Association today noon. The St. Joseph people were here to show why the Thanksgiving football game should be played in their city and to induce the athletic board to send it there.
The city of St. Joe has offered to pay the entire expenses of thirty men from both Missouri and Kansas, to furnish grounds absolutely free, to build all the bleachers and seats needed, to pay all advertising expenses, to advertise the game 100 miles in each direction from St. Joe, and to try to get the railroad fare from Lawrence to St. Joe and return to a figure below three dollars.
The Athletic Board took no action in the matter. A contract has been sent to Missouri calling for the game at Kansas City and nothing can be done until Missouri signs or refuses the Kansas City contract. The offer of St. Joseph is a good money proposition but will probably receive no action from Kansas in spite of the tempting terms offered by the St. Joseph business men. If Missouri should postively refuse to play at Kansas City, the question will again be an open one. St. Joseph is proving a strong rival for Kansas City in the game getting business and with the help of the Tiger representatives may even this far in the affair get the coveted advertisement for their town on Turkey Day.
Important Debate Coming.
The Republican and Democratic Clubs of the University will have a joint debate on the evening of October 22. The question to be discussed is, "Resolved that the interests of Kansas demand the success of Democracy, both state and national." The debating team of neither club has been definitely chosen.

NUMBER 12
Professor Blackmar and Others to Lecture in Kansas City.
Another one of the University extension lecture courses will be commenced next Monday by Dr. Frank W. Blackmar of the Sociology department of the University. The lectures will be on philanthropy and will be given to the social workers of the two Kansas Citys. Officers and directors from such institutions as the Franklin Institute, the Helping Hand, the Associated and Jewish Charities and representatives from the Hospitals will be interested. The object of the course is to increase the efficiency of the social service in greater Kansas City. The lectures will be under the direction of Dr. Blackmar assisted by eminent specialists, such as Doctors M. T. Sudler and G. A. Hoxie of the University of Kansas; Chas. Ellenwood and Thos. J. Riley, of Missouri University; E. J. McLaughry, warden of the Federal prison at Leavenworth; H. W. Charles, of the Kansas Boys' Reform school; Dr. T. C. Biddle, of the State Hospital, Topeka; Dr. Edward T. Devine, of New York City, and others.

SEVEN HUNDRED HAVE JOINED
HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION IS AN
ASSURED THING.
Medics Excused from Class and all Day Worked to Secure Necessary Number.
The Hospital Association is an assured thing. At five o'clock this evening the membership had reached 694 and was still growing. All day the membership poured in, due to the efforts of the medical students who were excused from classes, and the membership is expected to go past the 700 mark which the committee had set as the number required for the success of the organization.
This morning when the crusade began five hundred and six had joined and one hundred thirty-four additional members were needed to make the Association possible. This would bring the total number up to seven hundred, making the receipts fourteen hundred dollars. One half of this amount goes to the hospital physician and the remaing half for supplies and incidentals.
E. T. Gibson, president; O. R. Baum, vice president; John Brownlee, secretary; and Dr. W. J. Baumgartner, treasurer of the Association have been active in pushing the plan.
The faculty of the medical school dismissed all classes today to give medic students an opportunity to join the fight for new members. Thirty freshmen and twenty-six sophomores entered the crusade. Within an hour twenty-five new names had been secured, and by noon many more had joined.
The men interested in the work have spared neither time nor energy in securing the results obtained.

PAN-HELLENIC DANCES AT MU.
Fratermities to do Away With Formal Parties at ColuMbia.
The fraternities at the University of Missouri have decided to do away with the formal dances which have heretofore been a part of the social activities of the school and in place of these the pan-Hellenic will give three formal dances during the year. All the dances will be in the University gymnasium.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
A professor in the University of Colorado says that the modern student is becoming a better stenographer than a student, that is, that he copies down more in his note book than he ever gets in his head. The system of trying to take notes on reading is perhaps responsible for this condition. It always has been a mystery to us how a student can assimilate the ideas of Comte, Spencer, Fiske or Ward and at the same time fill a note book. But the fact of the matter is the ideas are not assimilated. It is a well known fact that court reporters and newspaper men are able to report court proceedings or a public speech without themselves being conscious of what is going on. So it is with most of the note-taking students. Page after page is read but the ideas pass through the brain like waer through a sieve. All the information contained in the note books is not worth an iota to the student for he cannot usually understand it when at the end of the term he tries to translate what his uncoconscious self wrote down. He throws his labored compilation aside and the dust soon covers the accomplishments of a college career. The Colorado professor might have said, which he didn't, that if a student wants to make Phi Beta Kappa he had better keep a note book, but if he wants to become a scholar he had better pay a little more attention to the subject and less attention to the movements of his hand.
The idea of organizing a club among the faculty members of the University and building a club house, furnished with reception rooms, a cafe and all the accessories that are wont to make it a central place of meeting for those who are fortunate enough to belong is a good one from more than one point of view. We hear a good deal of talk about the lack of social opportunities for a large part of the student body, but did it ever occur that among the faculty
members there is even a less chance for social intercourse. The student body has its fraternities and boarding clubs that afford the nucleus for social activities; the faculty members have no such organizations. It is good to have permanency in the student body but perhaps it would be better to have permanency in the faculty body and a more congenial social atmosphere amnog the faculty members might be a means of helping to secure this.
The Baker Orange is either more lucky or more tactful than the Kansan. It modestly admits that whatever it advocates meets with a "storm of approval," but then from the action of the students a few days ago, it may be taken for granted that storms are more easily brewed at Baker than in the University.
The woman who wears a towering hat at the theatre, the man who snores aloud at church and the student who tries to supplement every remark in a professor's lecture with some of his own for the benefit of those around him, all belong to the same class of nuisances.
IN OTHER COLLEGES.
The University of Missouri has proved by figures that food costs more in Columbia than in towns of similar size and location over the state.
The freshmen of California recently passed a vote of censure on the Daily Californian for the poor way the paper advertised and reported freshmen meetings.
The Daily Nebraskan is another school paper bewailing the fact that their football team is not down to form.
A straw ballot was held at the University of Missouri this week. Bryan got 364 votes, Taft 251, Debs 98, Chafin 74, and Hisgen 15.
Missouri is trying to get the Iowa football players to divest themselves of their "horness" in the Missouri-Iowa game next Saturday. The Iowans wear a strap around their chests and underneath their Jerseys. In this way the players can pull each other along.
The Chicago team is very light this year. The guards weigh only 164 pounds and the other men are lighter yet. The team is making a showing however. It is fast and clever.
The fraternities cannot pledge men until after the first mid semester examination at Nebraska.
Washington starts track training this week. The men train out doors all winter.
Chicago has started a preparatory course in consular service. Yale, Harvard, Columbia and George Washington also offer such a course.

LACROSSE GAINS FAVOR.
University Teams Increasing in Number—Haskell to Organize.
Lacrosse is receiving much attention at the University this fall. There are one hundred and twenty-five men playing now. There will be a class tournament in a few weeks to pick a team to represent the University. There are seven teams in the freshman class. The best one of these will play the other class teams. Coach Hagerman, who has charge of the Lacrosse players, was at Haskell Monday talking with Superintendent Peairs concerning the introduction of Lacrosse among the Indians. It was found that something like two hundred Indians do not take part in any branch of athletics. Superintendent Peairs decided to try Lacrosse. "Crosses" have been ordered for the "redskins" and when they arrive, Hagerman will arrange his work so that he may spend two days each week coaching the Indians. As soon as the Indians get in shape a series of games will be played between the University and the Haskell team.

FOUR DEBATES THIS YEAR.
Triangular Debates May Be Held with Colorado and Missouri.
The Debating Council met Tuesday afternoon at 1108 Tennessee street and decided to hold four debates this year, if arrangements can be made with Texas. The other schools with which Kansas will debate are, Missouri, Colorado and Oklahoma. The debates with the last two schools will be held in Lawrence. The questions have not been chosen. The tryouts will be held sometime before the holidays.
A triangular debate will probably be arranged between Missouri, Colorado and Kansas. This plan, though new at Kansas, is practiced at many of the eastern schools. This plan provides that each University of the triangle shall have two teams, debating upon opposite sides of the same question. The debates would be held at the three schools and on the same night. One Kansas team would debate at Missouri and the other one would debate Colorado here. Under this plan six teams are giving three debates upon the same question and on the same evening.
The Council will meet at the home of Professor W. E. Higgins this evening to decide upon the questions which will be debated this year.

Kansas is proud to own the remains of a man, believed to have lived twenty thousand years ago, but the University can now match the antiquity of this possession. The museum has a number of Dinosaur bones which may have belonged perhaps to one of these monsters owned by this ancient man.
These bones were secured by Professor Williston and Mr. Martin from Wyoming. Horses were not known in those olden times and Dinosaurs were probably used as beasts of burden. Many scientists believe that our early Kansas settler migrated from Wyoming. These pioneer settlers may have owned the Dinosaur, a number of whose bones are to be on exhibit in the museum.

KANSAS BEAT SOONERS,11 to 0
PLEASANT AND BONDCARRIED BALL OVER FOR KANSAS.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 17, 1908.
Kansas Could not Score in First Half—Game Was Erratic, Long Gains a Feature.
In a stubbornly fought game in which the Kansas sub squad was well employed, the Jayhawkers won from the Sooners by the score of 11 to 0.
The fierce runs made by Stephenson, Myers and Bond together with the punting duel winded the Oklahomans and allowed Kansas the victory. Every man on the team worked like a tiger and each helped to win the victory. The day was hot and time was taken two or three times to rest the worn out men.
The game started in a listless fashion and it was anybody's score during the first half. In the second half Kansas took a brace and played good football throughout. The southerners made excellent gains through the line, and worked many plays that puzzled the Kansans.
FIRST HALF.
Stevenson for Kansas kicked off over the goal line. Oklahoma kicked from 25 yard line to Pleasant who returned the ball 10 yards; a line buck and a forward pass to Steele made first down. Myers made seven and a buck made the ten, Myers caught a forward pass but was downed in his tracks and Stephenson failed on a place kick.
Kansas lost the ball and Oklahoma made several good gains. Campbell went through the line for 10 yds. Captain Crowell was kicked in the eye but continued the game as soon as his "wound" was bandaged. Johnson returned Oklahoma's punt 15 yds. after exchange of punts and line bucks that gained neither side anything. Oklahoma missed a punt which Hennessey fell on. Stephenson went through center for seven and Johnson made the down but a minute later English broke through and got a fumble. Armstrong went through for Oklahoma for 10 and two bucks got 10 more Walling made 10, but on a great tackle by Reed Kansas regained the ball. H. Wood went in place of Crowell, whose eye was giving trouble. Reed be gan to play in his old time form and broke through Oklahoma and tackled the man with the ball for losses time and time again. The half ended with the ball in Oklahoma's possession on K. U's. 35 yd line.
No score.
SECOND HALF.
In the second half the Jayhawkers showed a great reversal of form and played the prettiest football they have shown this year. Stephenson, Bond, Steele, Pleasant, in fact
the whole team were stars.
Bond went in for Myers and shortly after the beginning of the half Pleasant got an onside kick for 20, Bond added 30. Fiske went in for Johnson and two line bucks put the ball over in the arms of Pleasant for the first touchdown. The goal was not kicked.
Encouraged by this success Kansas went at Oklahoma like fiends. Bond made successive gains, Pleasant got another onside kick for 20 and then the most spectacular play of the game came off. Steele made a 30 yard onside kick and Bond got the ball on the goal line and with a pack of men on his back fell across for the second touch down. Dahiene kicked goal.
Forde went in for Hennessey and Houghton replaced Pleasant. The remainder of the game was played in Oklahoma territory.

BOWERSOCK ON FAMILY LIFE
MAKES MISQUOTED STATEMENT OF BLACKMAR A TEXT.
Marry in Poverty and Live on Love and Be Happy, Says the Ex=Congressman.
"I don't know whether he said it or not, but anyway I intend to use it for my text this morning," said ex-Congressman Bowersock in his chapel talk yesterday, speaking of the alleged statement of Professor Blackmar to the effect that a man and woman cannot marry on an income of $25 a week without degeneration in the family life. Then the ex-congressman made a little talk on the factors that make for happiness in the domestic relations.
Professor Blackmar's statement, which has been so liberally misquoted by the press of the state, was made in an address delivered a couple of months ago. In a discussion of the necessity of maintaining the standard of life, the professor said that if a man with an income of $25 a week and a woman who had been making $20 a week marry and try to live on the man's income alone, there is a tendency to lower the standard of life. Lowering of the standard of life is liable to cause a discontent in the family relation, which will increase with the growth of the family. Is is then that the saloon and other demoralizing factors in the social life are likely to make their influence felt. A large number of the unsuccessful marriages in the cities may be traced, the professor thinks, to this cause.
Since the delivery of the speech it has been misquoted in nearly all the large papers of the country. Bowersock is the last one who has become muddled over the address and helped to misconstrue it.
M. U. Representative Here.

WEAR CAPS? NO NEVER!
Freshmen Must Never Yield, Say the Spellbinders.
"Never, never-r, never-r-r will I submit!"
This and similar remarks, punctured by applause, were wafted upon the breeze that cooled the brows of frenzied freshmen orators who addressed the class meeting called yesterday to discuss the wearing of caps. Arnold of Winkelreid, William Tell and George Washington were cited as worthy of the emulation of the freshmen in the matter of resisting the tyrant. During a lull in the heated flow of words a freshman girl was heard to remark, "I never will wear one of the nasty things. I think they're just horrid.
This settled the matter and no further action was taken.
Harold Bozell, '08, of the engineering faculty of Oklahoma university, will visit at the Beta house until Monday night. He visited in Topeka yesterday afternoon and night.

POLITICS ENDANGER
ACADEMIC FREEDOM
In Upton Sinclair's recent talk to the Scoop Club he spoke of the way in which organized wealth tends to place restrictions upon academic freedom. Some recent articles in the Outlook show in a striking way how academic freedom is threatened from another direction. The articles which deal with conditions at Oklahoma University, charge that the president and a large part of the faculty of that school, most of whom had long records of competent service, were turned out and their places given to supporters of the political party now in power in the state. The only criticism that was ever made against these men was the silly and foolish one that some of them danced and some of them smoked—arguments which would not be used by anyone but the most despicable politician and would be listened to only by the ignorant and prejudiced. A most significant fact and one not at all reassuring is that the protest against the ousting of these men comes mostly from outside of Oklahoma. In that state, which has the most at stake, the incident created scarcely a ripple. If, as Mr. Sinclair says, the great schools of the East are coerced by the club the wealthy interests shake over them, and if the free schools of the West are to be the prey of the howling pack of politicians, then the outlook for academic freedom is slim indeed. Most of the schools of the West are as yet untainted and no time should be lost in putting them beyond the reach of men who have no conception of the meaning of education and who are as devoid of principle as they are of learning.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The athletic board seems to have the idea that it is a secret society. By its actions it asserts that the students should know nothing of what goes on in the secret recesses of its deliberations. At the last meeting a Kansan reporter was denied admission. The athletic board is a representative body. Its deliberations should be public. Those who are supposed to run the board should know what goes on at the meetings. It would be difficult to make the Kansan believe that the board is doing things that can not stand publicity, so why these star chamber sessions?

Lawrence Pantatorium, the home for sick clothes. "Nuff" said.
In the freshman class meeting yesterday noon the youthful Patrick Henrys had a chance to get rid of some of their impassioned oratory. "Let us preserve the liberty inherent to us as American citizens" shrieked the tyro orators. The fact that the freshman class together assembled chooses, calmly and freely, to wear a uniform class cap does not signify that the country is on the down grade and that the work of the fathers has been in vain.
We have spent sleepless nights trying to figure out just how much knowledge we did possess, but now a professor comes to our rescue with the opinion that it is "half knowledge." We are not familiar enough with the standards of measurement to say whether that is complimentary or no and about the only thing definite we know about our fund of knowledge is that its status is somewhere between that of a cretin and a professor.
Of course it was not to be expected that an ex-congressman would display any very deep knowledge on economic or social questions, but the fact that Mr. Bowersock was once a congreseman need not have prevented him from telling the truth. Anyone who thinks, even W.C.T.U. Bowersock, could not help but see the truth in what Professor Blackmar really did say.
Professor Blackmar completely and eternally swept our note book editorial into the halcyon tomb of things to be forgotten with the sweeping assertion that it was a "sweeping statement, inspired by half knowledge."

The following men were elected to Sigma Xi at the last meeting of the society: Professor Chas. M. Sterling, Professor P. A. Glenn, Edmund Barthalow, W. J. Kackley, Chas. W. Lusk, H. C. McClure and Paul V. Faragher. This chapter has a membership of nearly three hundred of which fifty-one are active members. Dean Marvin of the Engineering school, the present counsellor of the local chapter, is president of the national chapter.
Lack Heat for Engineers.
The new engineering building will be completed by the last of November. Men will be employed during the winter placing the fixtures. The building will not be used this winter owing to the lack of heat, as the present heating plant is taxed to its utmost. An appropriation will be asked for at the coming meeting of the legislature for the erection of a new and larger heating plant. In speaking of the affair, Dean F. O. Marvin said, "The new engineering building cannot be used this year unless the weather warms up sufficiently to require no heat during the spring months."
Machinery for Power Plant.
Machinery for the new power plant is arriving in carload lots. The building will be completed by the last of next month, after which the machinery will be placed in position. If sufficient men can be secured for the placing of the machinery, the plant will be in operation by the Christmas holidays. Reservoirs for the storage of water, and foundations for the engines are being built.

George O. Foster, registrar of the University, returned yesterday from New Orleans where he has been attending a convention of the Christian church. Mr. Foster says that the people down south are entirely too slow for a Kansan.
Kemp Holds Head Erect.
Harry Kemp, the poet, has a novel way of reminding himself that he should hold his head erect when he walks. He says that he never wears a collar button in the back of his shirt and is thus forced to look over the heads of other people.

Literature Versus Newspapers.
A Kansas newspaper tells this story on Mr. Harger's School of Journalism: "A student at Kansas University who is taking the course in Journalism was severely criticised by one of the teachers in that department for making too many paragraphs in the theme, or story, or whatever it was he handed in. "But," the student protested, "Mr. Harger says we should make our paragraphs short." With lofty disdain the teacher replied: "Mr. Harger teaches newspaper work; in this department we teach literature.

FACULTY WANTS CLUB HOUSE
A Refuge for Married Men as well as Bachelors.
A meeting of the faculty was held yesterday afternoon to discuss the proposed faculty club house, with married and unmarried members of the faculty present. No formal action was taken, the meeting being devoted to discussing the expenses and scope of the proposed club.
Members who have had experience in similar clubs in the east were called upon to make suggestions. Professor Van der Vries proposed that the privileges of the club be thrown open to the benedicts also. "I have noticed," he said, "that in the east the married members of the faculty are glad to get away from home for an evening's recreation at the club."
"I am heartily in favor of the club," said Professor Wilcox, "but I am opposed to making it so attractive that the unmarried members of the faculty will be satisfied to remain there indefinitely."
Joint Reception.
The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. will give a joint reception at 8 o'clock this evening in the gymnasium. All students and faculty members are invited to attend.
PROFESSORS DISAGREE.
Blackmar Condemns;Higgins Commends Kansan's Attitude.
Professor Higgins, of the law school, in moot court Friday gave unqualified endorsement to the idea that the practice of note taking so lavishly indulged in by students as a substitute for the use of the mental faculties was not a good one. He stated that he agreed with the Kansan that there was too much note taking and had his class in moot court turn in their note-books,
Professor Blackmar took occasion to score the Kansan yesterday in his sociology class for asserting that there was too much note taking among students. He said he did not know who wrote the article in the Kansan but that it was a sweeping statement characteristic of those who are inexperienced and possessed of about half knowledge on a subject. He stated that the proper kind of note taking was one of the best methods of study.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME V.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 20, 1908.
NUMBER 14
IS BECOMING COSMOPOLITAN
MANY UNIVERSITIES REPRESENTED IN K. U.
Students Are Here Who Last Year Attended 48 Different Institutions.
This year Kansas University has drawn students from fortyeight Universities and Colleges over the United States. These schools, outside of Kansas, are located mostly in the East. Many young men and women in search of knowledge have come from Ohio, Michigan, Illtnois Virginia, New York, and Maryland institutions to attend the University. The list from the west is comparatively smaller than the one from the east. Schools in Nebraska, Montana Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Colorado are the only western colleges whose former students are going on the hill.
Baker University heads the list of schools with nine students attending K. U.; Campbell College has four; Ottawa, Missouri University, Washburn and the Kansas State Normal have three each; Michigan University, Colorado University, Emporia College, Colorado College, Oklahoma Central Normal, Nebraska University, K. S. A. C., have two each and one student comes from Randolph College, Va., Central Holiness University, Illinois University, Earlham College, Southwestern College, McPherson College, Beloit, (Wisconsin) College, Smith College, Monmouth (Ill.) College, Defiance (Ohio) College, University of the City of New York, Western College for Women, Oklahoma Northwestern Normal, Maryland College, Fiske University, Nickerson College, Chicago University, Epworth (Okla.) University, Western Kansas Normal, Kansas Wesleyan, Montana Normal College, Kansas Christian College, Daughters College, Highland University, Drake University, McGill (Canada University, Midland College, Fairmount University, Amity College, Friends University, Cooper College, Bethany College, Westfield College, Wisconsin University, and Kingfisher (Okla.) College.
Athletic Board Election.
A meeting has been called by the Athletic board Friday, October 30, for the election of a new member to the board. This election is made necessary owing to the absence of Milton Miller, who is in Cincinnati attending a medical school.
EMANCIPATION.
UNIVERSITY GIRLS CAN PURSUE EDUCATION UNHINDERED.
Moonlight Strolls and Romantic Episodes Must Happen Only at West End Opposition Strong.
As a result of an agitation for social reform, three of the sororities of the school and a large number of girls in rooming houses have pledged their honor to abolish dates and social engagements of all kinds during the week. Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights will be the favored evenings from this time on. One sorority refused to make promise claiming that it had been tried before and never kept.
Miss Hannah Oliver and Miss Alberta Corbin are the faculty representatives that are advocating the reform among the girls. The Chancellor is heartily in favor of the plan, and the Board of Regents also recommended the idea in making out the list of approved rooming houses.
It is said that the social conditions at the University are in a deplorable state. Much time is wasted by sentimental couples in week night strolls and tete a tetes on vine hidden porches. The new rules will, of course, do away with all this sort of conduct. The enforcement of the rules will depend entirely on the honor of the girls who have promised to keep them. The University could not make iron-clad laws similar to those in secondary schools like Baker and Winfield.
Small Attendance at Reception.
The attendance at the Y. M. and Y. W. reception Saturday evening in the gymnasium was rather small on account of the storm scare. The students brave enough to go had a pleasant evening in an informal way. College songs were sung. Prof. E. M. Hopkins played the piano.
Elizabeth Wilson to Appear as the First Attraction.
MUSICAL RECITAL THURSDAY
The first of a series of four recitals to be given by the Fine Arts school will occur Tuesday evening, October 27, in Fraser Hall.
Elizabeth Wilson, the contralto who made such a favorable impression here last year will give the recital.
Professor Preyer will play the accompaniments.
Miss Wilson will sing a new song of Dean Skilton's, with a violin obligato.
MEMBERSHIP CRUSADE ON
Y. M. C. A. WORKERS BUSY GETTING MEMBERS.
Five Hundred Is the Slogan of the Men at Myers Hall. Permanent Building.
Seventy-five men representing the University Y. M. C. A. will begin a membership crusade this evening. The committee will make a house to house canvass in a final effort to increase the roll of members to five hundred. Each man in school will have the matter put plainly before him and will have a chance to refuse or accept.
The membership at present is 225. There are 1225 men in school. It is the intention of the leaders in the movement to secure at least enough men to raise the number to five hundred. If the mark set can be reached before Thanksgiving, a canvass of the state for subscriptions for a University Association house will be started.
Several wealthy men of the state have written encouraging letters to the executive committee, and have expressed a desire to help in the erection of a permanent home for the Y. M. C. A. as soon as the men in that organization show a need for the building. A larger membership must be secured before a creditable showing can be made in the state.
The increase in Bible study and the importance of the employment bureau will be emphasized as two great features of the Y. M. C.A. work here.
"The idea of helping the man who really needs it, should appeal to everyone who is not interested yet in the religious side of the work," said J. P. Hagerman this morning to a Kansan reporter. "I have great hopes of securing our desire this time. If we do the building will no longer be a dream."
Dr. Wilcox in Chapel.
Prof. A. M. Wilcox spoke in chapel Tuesday morning on a volume of English poems entitled "Sonnets of This Century." He read five of the sonnets which he considered especially worthy of general notice.
A Big Feed.
The girls of the Chi Omega sorority will be entertained by a dinner party this evening by Mrs. C. W. Straffon and Mrs. A.C. Mitchell at the home of the latter.
RIVALS STRONG
JAYHAWKERS' OPPONENTS SHOW UP WELL.
Missouri and Nebraska Sprang Surprises Saturday-Washington's Strength Unknown.
The games last Saturday give a pretty fair line on the teams that the Jayhawkers are scheduled to play yet this season. Some of them showed unexpected strength and others were weaker than the advance dope sheets figured.
The Tigers surprised their most ardent supporters and upset all forecasts of their game by defeating Iowa, that was already vaunting an ever victorious team by the score of 10 to 5. Missouri had three stars on the side lines too at that. The Columbia players have a strong line and a great back field. They also seem at last to have developed a kicker. Bluck, their right tackle, booted a field goal from the 45-yard line. The Tigers seem to have a better team than they had last year. Kansas, from the dope thus far, has a good chance to run home with the Iowa game.
Nebraska also did great things Saturday. On the field of the enemy the Cornhuskers played Minnesota a 0 to 0 game. While the Minneapolis team is weaker this year than usual, the ability to hold them to no score shows that Nebraska has an extraordinary aggregation. A great many of the old stars are back and Kansas will meet a worthy rival at Lincoln on November 14.
Washburn, the opponents of Captain Crowell's bunch on November 7, played Haskell in Topeka and took the contest 11 to 4. Washburn made two touchdowns, each one on a forward pass. The pass in fact characterized their play. The Indians had little trouble getting through their opponents' line, but their bucks were always stopped before they got to the goal. They came close enough for place kicks several times and Island, the Haskell quarter, did the trick once. The Indians allege that they got the worst end of several bad decisions and maintain that if Island had not been knocked out in the first half they would have won.
Washington, the team that comes to McCook next Saturday, tangled with Knox College last Saturday. They won their game 11 to 0, but as little is

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The outcome of the campaign to be started tonight by the Y. M. C. A. to raise the membership of that organization to 500 members will probably decide whether or not the association will have a building of its own on the campus in the near future. That such a building would be of great usefulness to the student body has been recognized for years, but it is only lately that any systematic effort to get it has taken form. To get the money necessary to put up a building of the size needed will take a lot of work on the part of everybody who is willing to help, but the object striven for is worth all the effort it will take. The University has long been in need of a club house where all kinds of students can meet on common ground, and the association building will serve such a purpose admirably If the present campaign succeeds, the University club be a reality. If it fails the club be comes again a dream of the remote future.
The Baker Orange deprecates the Kansan's recent write-up of the night shirt parade down there in the course of which a professor's apparel was torn off until he more nearly resembled Salome than a doctor of divinity. This was to be expected. The surprising thing is the language in which the protest is couched. The Orange says the editor "could give the author of Diamond Dick Jr. cards and spades and then beat him at his own game." Diamond Dick! Cards and Spades! Where in the name of all that's holy did our Methodist brother get his vocabulary?
The Oklahoma football team certainly deserves commendation for their clean playing and courteous behavior during the game. The little Indian who played in the back field was penalized once. He politely asked the umpire what the penalty was for and when told it was for holding, he as politely and
in all sincerity replied: "I beg your pardon."
Something worth while could be done on. McCook field by making an exit for the crowd on the north side of the field. And then a ferry boat service should be established across some of the mudholes near the gate for the benefit of the ladies. If these improvements were made it would be possible to get home in time for the evening meal.
A professor in the University writes the Kansan asking that the paper be stopped because he could not afford to pay for it. That's allright but if the professor is not making expenses he should cut off some of the luxuries of life and not begin by stopping the necessities of life.
The school of Journalism at the university of Missouri has the newspaper instinct allright. A three column headline on the front page of the University Missourian reads "Child of Mystery sues Blackfoot King's Heirs".
Prof. W.H. Johnson has been spending the latter part of the week inspecting the Douglas county high schools. Earlier in the week he attended the meetings of the college presidents of the state and the State Board of Education at Topeka.

LOOK OUT FOR MISSOURI.
A. D. Bonnifield, of Kansas City, an old football player and an official in the game Saturday, has officiated in most of the Missouri games this year. In discussing the merits of the two teams Mr. Bonnifield said, "Missouri at present has a much better line than Kansas but to my notion the Jayhawkers have the Tigers beat in the back field. I am not prejudiced against either Missouri or Kansas and candidly I think that if the two schools met this week Kansas would get trounced. Don't listen to bear stories from Columbia. They have a good team and they can't deny it."
A UNIVERSITY WEDDING.
Rankin-Templin Ceremony to be Performed Tomorrow Night.
The wedding of Miss Alice Templin, of Lawrence, and Herbert W. Rankin, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, will occur tomorrow evening at the home of Dean and Mrs. Olin Templin.
Miss Templin was graduated from the college last June, and is a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. Mr.Rankin was graduated from the Engineering school at the same time. The two young people were among the best known and most popular of last year's class.
The wedding is in every sense a University wedding. The parents of both Miss Templin and Mr. Rankin are graduates of the University of Kansas.
On account of the death of her father, Miss Gertrude Mossler has not been in her studio this week. She will be there after today.
KEMP WRITING NOVEL.
Harry Kemp is writing an autobiographical novel for John Phillips, publisher of the American Magazine.
The Poet Takes a Stroll into New
Fields-To be on Tramp Life.
While in the east last summer he visited Mr. Phillips, who became interested in an account which Kemp gave of his adventurous life. He persuaded him to write a novel, using his adventures for the narration, promising him that if the work was of sufficient merit it would be published. He thought that an account of his tramp life, his wanderings and unusual experiences would make an interesting story.
The novel will consist of about four hundred pages and will be dispersed with brief bits of poetry. Three chapters have been written in four weeks.
Kemp has traveled through America and Australia and visited for a short time in China, Japan and the Philippines.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME V.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 22, 1908.
WASHINGTON NEXT SATURDAY
CAYOU, OLD WABASH COACH HAS COACHED TEAM.
Washington Has Played and Won Four Games This Year.—K.
U. Coaches Optimistic.
The Washington University football team is scheduled to meet the Jayhawkers on McCook Saturday. Washington is one of the Missouri Valley Conference schools and has been making great headway in all branches of athletics since it broke into the first division of Missouri valley schools. The St. Louis school is being coached by the great Carlisle fullback, Cayou. This same Cayou tutored the Wabash team last year and his pupils administered the only defeat to St. Louis University that that team has suffered since Cochem started to coach it.
Washington has a light team that is fast and expert in the new style of play. They have played and won four games this year; two with well known teams, Shurtleff and Knox.
Coaches Kennedy and Mosse were very well pleased with the greater part of the work in the Oklahoma game and the men used in that contest will go in Saturday. Reed will be out so that he will be in the best condition for the big game. The coaches are jubilant over the fact that the team is making such progress with the onside kick and the forward pass. Last Saturday every onside kick was a great ground gainer and the pass was successful nearly all the time.
Michigan Man's Opinion.
C. A. Heidenreich, an old Michigan man who played several seasons under Yost, saw the game Saturday. He said: "The men are too slow starting the play. The secret of Yost's success was that there was no time lost between downs. The signals were often called while the quarter was still on the ground. It seemed to me that Oklahoma knew each time where the ball was going. Yost had his plays arranged in series so that on one signal five or six plays would be made as fast as the men could pick themselves up."
Washburn Defeated.
St. Mary's, defeated by K. U. on October 3 by the score of 24 to 0, defeated Washburn yesterday 6 to 0.
Mrs. J. A. Dreibelbis and daughter, Miss Barnicle, of' Sabetha, were visiting at the Kappa house Tuesday and Wednesday.
HAS 430 MEMBERS.
Two Weeks of Campaigning Has Added 360 New Ones.
NUMBER 15
The rush by the Y. M. C. A. members just closed, for new members has increased the membership to four hundred and thirty, which is an increase over the number of cards purchased up to this time last year. When the rush started about two weeks ago, there were but about seventy members.
The association made a canvas of all the students and out of twenty-four hundred, succeeded in landing the present membership. It is the belief of those interested that the University Y.M.C.A.will have five hundred members in a short time.
Student Council Plans.
Heim Goldman, H. M. Poindexter and "Buster" Brown have formed themselves into a student committee to meet a faculty committee consisting of professors W. E. Higgins, E. W. Murray, and C. L. Becker, to draw up definite plans for a student council. They will meet tonight at the home of Prof. Higgins.
Little interest in a student council has been shown this year. As a result of a demand from this committee the Chancellor appointed the faculty committee to assist them in organizing.
To Decide This Evening.
A joint debate will take place tonight in Green Hall between the Republican and Democratic clubs. The question will be, "Resolved, That the best interests of the country demand the success of the Republican ticket, state and national." M. O. Locke, Ralph Johnson and O. C. Hull will discuss the subject from the G. O. P.'s standpoint. Robert Worline, Ed. Haney, and M. Chapman will hold up the Democratic end.
German Conference.
---
The instructors of the German department meet every two weeks for discussions of books, articles, and other topics of importance. The next meeting Friday, October 23, at 4:30 in Room 29, will be an open one. Professor W.H.Carruth will review and report on criticisms by Professors Hoehlfeld and Karsten upon a recent edition of Goethe's "Faust. All who are interested will be welcome at the meeting.
To Columbus Ohio.
Harry Herman, H. P. Hagerman, Dr. W. C. Payne, Carl Hanson and Mr. Beeghley went to Columbus, Ohio yesterday to attend the Bible Study convention.
ARE TO EXECUTE FREEMAN'S WILL
MANY STUDENTS EXPECT TO GET FREE RIDE HOME.
All Students Who Want To Help Save the Country Are To Be Excused To Do So.
Two hundred and fifty Republicans have signified their intention of going home to vote if their expenses will be paid by the state central committee. Many others will not wait for the action of the committee, but will go whether the expenses are paid or not.
C. E. Brookens, president of the University Republican club, went to Topeka this morning to get a definite answer from the state committee regarding the payment of traveling expenses of student voters. A meeting will be held tomorrow in Green Hall to make final arrangements for the voters who wish to get transportation home.
The students going home for election will have their absences excused by the dean of their school. The Chancellor has left the matter entirely in their hands. There will be no holiday. The length of absence will depend on the distance the student lives from Lawrence. In most cases Monday and Tuesday of election have been set aside.
K. U. Athlete to Wed.
The wedding of Harold P. Kuhn, '06, and Miss Blossom Lewis will be solemnized Saturday, October 24, in Kansas City. The ceremony will be performed in the St. Paul's Episcopal Church.
Mr. Kuhn was a student in the medical school at Rosedale two years ago. He won first place in the high and low hurdles for K.U. in a track meet with Missouri.
Memorial Services for Dr. Snow.
---
The memorial services for ex-Chancellor F. H. Snow will be held in chapel probably upon November 13. Professor Carruth has been put in charge of the arrangements and has announced that several well known men have been asked to speak. These speakers will represent the faculty, alumni and the deceased's friends.
Chancellor Goes Tomorrow.
Chancellor Frank Strong will leave tomorrow for Columbus, Ohio, where he will represent the University of Kansas at the international Y. M. C. A. convention.

The Phi Delta Phis held initiation last night at their chapter house, 909 Vermont, for Harold Armsby and Carrol Lord, middle laws.
A LARGE RAIN FALL.
Nearly Seven Inches of Rain Fell in Three Days.
The record breaking drouth of this fall has been broken by an unusually heavy rain fall of nearly seven inches. The rain began in a light shower Monday and increased up to this morning. The University weather bureau states that 5.76 inches fell from Wednesday morning up to this morning at seven o'clock. During Monday and Tuesday .93 inches fell. The storm of yestesday did much damage to streets and country roads. It was one of the hardest rain falls in the history of Lawrence.
To Investigate Sewerage.
H. C. McClure, a senior engineer recently elected to Sigma Xi, is preparing in conjunction with Professor W. C. Hoad to conduct investigations of the sewage systems of fifteen or twenty typical Kansas towns. At present they are testing the apparatus for the work which was constructed by C. W. White, the instrument maker, for the University. The apparatus consists of a device which will automatically record the amount of sewage passing through a pipe in a given time. Mr. McClure proposes by the extension of the investigations to establish certain standards of the amount of sewage produced by various populations in the different cities of Kansas.
Gridiron Vet Returns.
W. A. Matteson, of Cherryvale, Kansas, generally known as "Billie" Matteson, one of the greatest athletes K. U. ever knew, was visiting old acquaintances on the hill Wednesday. Billie attended the University in the early nineties during the days of Mosse, Shorty Hamill, Coleman and other stars. He was Kansas greatest ground gainer in the Kansas-Michigan game of '93. Matteson was also a star on the diamond and held several records in field sports. He is interested in mining properties in Joplin Missouri, and Arizona.
Models for Medical Work.
The medical department of the University received a shipment of three dozen models from Leipsig, Germany. The models came from the laboratory of Professor Wilhelm His, of Leipsig University. They were made from dissections conducted by Dr.His. These are the finest models procurable and are used to illustrate visceral anatomy.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
After the fitful fever of a few days of excitement another erratic, spasmodic agitation among the students for a students' council has passed on to its rest alongside the numberless other schemes that have lived and died. It has been only two weeks since excitement was high and a students' council was a thing to be realized in a few days. So it was last year and year before, and the year before that. Somewhere in the hands of a committee that is supposed to meet another committee all the plans are sleeping and would it be a reckless prophecy to venture the opinion that its slumbers will last until Fall rolls around again and the extreme need is again felt. The Kansan would, however, like to see the students organized and a council to enforce the freshman rules.
A fair example of journalistic inaccuracy occurs in this morning's Topeka Capital. On the editorial page is a communication from Professor Blackmar in which he repeats his much misquoted remarks about marriage and the standard of living. In the news columns of the paper occurs a more glaring perversion of the professors remarks than had previously appeared. If the schools of journalism which are springing up over the country succeed in developing a race of reporters that will have even a slight respect for accuracy they will more than justify their existence, but such a change would come near revolutionizing the newspaper industry.
Some unscrupulous correspondent whose love for a few paltry dollars is greater than his love of the truth and who judging by his effusion has neither brains nor respect for the University, has written to the Topeka Capital a grossly distorted account of the social conditions existing at the University. He says among other things that girls have been

Templin-Rankin.
The marriage of Miss Alice Templin, daughter of Professor and Mrs. Olin Templin, to Mr. Herbert W. Rankin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Don J. Rankin of Albuquerque, New Mexico, took place last evening at seven o'clock at "Point o' Pines," the home of the bride's parents. Invitations were limited to relatives and immediate friends, of whom about seventy were present. They were received by Mr. and Mrs. Templin, Miss Templin and Mr. Rankin.
Professor Carl A. Preyer, at the piano played the "Bridal Procession" from Lohengrin, after which Miss Templin and Mr. Rankin stood under the high arch of a tastefully decorated bay window while the Reverend William W. Bolt, of the Congregational church, read the Episcopal marriage service, closing with the ring ceremony.
Following congratulations and expression of good wishes, refreshments were served in the dining room by Misses Marjorie Templin, Jaunita Rankin, Marguerite Gregory, and Oreta Moore. Coffee was served in the library by Miss Dora Renn and Miss Alberta Corbin. Mrs. Templin was assisted during the evening by Mrs. W. H. Johnson, Mrs. R. D. O'Leary, Mrs. L. N.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 24, 1908.
KANSAS 10; WASHINGTON O
NUMBER 16
THE
SCORE IN ONE-HALF
GAME 10 TO 0.
On a Slushy Field in Blinding Snow Teams Performed Aquatic Stunts Before Small Crowd.
In a blinding snow storm on a field covered with four inches of slush and snow the Jayhawkers trounced Coach Cayou's pupils this afternoon by a score of 10 to 0. The game was called at the end of the first half. It would have been inhuman to have made the boys play ball under such conditions. They were nearly frozen and were soaked through with ice water. Kansas had the advantage over the enemy from the start.
The game was a comedy of fumbles, high dives and amusing slips. It looked more like a water polo contest than a gridiron combat. The ball was heavy and it was impossible to kick goal.
The Kansas men were the heavier and being masters at the ducking game easily downed the boys from the East. After ten minutes of play down the sloppy field Kansas pushed Bond over the line into a sea of cold water for the first touchdown. Goal was missed.
Late in the half Bond splashed up the creek with the aid of perfect interference for a thirty yard gain. In another minute he dived into the pool and came up on the other side of the line for touchdown number two.
The unfavorable weather made the game seem more like a friendly contest than a serious one. The boys on both sides showed their grit when they plunged through the ice cold stream on McCook field. Newbold got his first chance at the game today, taking the place of Fiske. For the sake of their men the managers agreed to call off the second half.
Voted Dormitories.
The second district Federation of Woman's Clubs held last Wednesday in Iola voted to start a campaign for the erection of a dormitory for the girls of the university. Several young women of the second district are being educated in different schools of the country by these clubs. The club women wish to endow a dormitory for girls who have no permanent home while in the university and who are not connected with any recognized organization.

W. D. Kemp, '06, of the Pharmic school, has just received an appointment at Washington, D. C. in the chemical department of pure food and drugs.
CONTRACT IS SIGNED.
Missouri and Kansas Agree on Kansas City for Five Years.
At noon today Manager W.C. Lansdon returned from Kansas City with the contract for the Thanksgiving game signed by the management of Kansas and Missouri and by Manager Tebeau.
Yesterday Dr. W. G. Manly, representing the Missouri Athletic Association came to Lawrence to make a final plea that the game go to St Joseph. When he understood that the Kansas management could not back down from their previous agreement, Dr. Manly agreed on Kansas City. Yesterday afternoon the managers went to Kansas City to sign the contract with Tebeau.
Missouri did not want to give over 15 percent of the receipts for the park rental and wanted the contract to hold for only one year. Tebeau would not even talk unless he was granted $17\frac{1}{2}$ percent. Kansas and Tebeau both wanted a five year contract. Missouri acceded to the demands and the original contract as submitted by Tebeau was signed by Missouri after a months delay and negotiation.
The contract binds Missouri and Kansas to play the annual turkey day game in Kansas City for the next five years. Tebeau is to provide seats for 9,000 people at his park and must get it in condition for the game. The complimentary tickets will be limited to 100 to each of the three parties.
The water polo game, which was to have been played the first of the week between the two teams chosen from the gymnasium classes, was postponed on account of the wet weather. High water prevented the players from reaching the gym. The men are not in condition to play matched games yet as they have not mastered the rules of playing. The first game will be played in two weeks, when a series of water sports will be held. All men of the University are eligible to enter these contests.
Water Polo Called Off.
Prof. H. P. Cady went to Kansas City this afternoon. He will give an address before the Kansas City section of the American Chemical society tonight on "Corosion of Iron." The November meeting of the section will be held in Lawrence.

Athletic Election Friday.
The election to fill the vacancy on the athletic board caused by Milton Miller will take place next Friday in the chapel.
SIMPLE LIFE IS IMPOSSIBLE
LIFE GROWING MORE COMPLEX, SAYS BLACKMAR.
Says Simple Life Would Ruin Those Who Dam People's River and Grind Flour.
"We could all live on beans and rice, and survive, but if everybody did, what would become of the man who owns a mill and gets rich making flour; we could go back to the tallow candle, but what would become of the man who dams up the water which belongs to the people, and sells electric power for light?" said Dr. F. W. Blackmar yesterday morning in a chapel talk on family life before the students of the University. "We could go back to the sod house of the early settlers, but what would become of the men who grow rich in dealing in lumber? We could become Indians and return to the blanket and wigwam, but what would become of our civilization."
The chapel was crowded with students anxious to hear the professor vindicate himself of incorrect newspaper articles which have appeared, concerning a speech made by him at Topeka September 11, before the associated charities. He clearly explained what he did say and took exception to misquotations made on the chapel rostrum. In his Topeka talk he said that a man who got $25 a week and a woman getting $20 would lower their standard of life if they attempted to live on the man's $25 and added the burden of a family. He could have said $10 for the man and $5 for the woman and the illustration would have been the same.
"It is wonderfully interesting," said the professor in closing, "to hear the man who has got his dollar and holds it hard and fast talk to the other fellow, who has none, about the American craze for the almighty dollar, and to advise everybody to go back to the simple life. It is idle to talk of the simple life without reconstruction of society. This is a highly complex life and we must take our chances in it."

Professor Carruth will deliver a lecture Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 in Room 29 on the review of Faust as made by Prof. Goebel. This is an open meeting and both students and instructors are invited.

The members of the varsity football team will attend the Washburn-Drake game next Saturday in Topeka.
FOR INTER-CLASS FOOTBALL.
First Game of Schedule to be Played Tuesday.
The inter-class football schedule has been arranged. Tuesday, October 27,the freshmen will play the sophomores and the juniors will play the seniors. On Saturday, October 31, the championship game between the successful teams will be played.
A silver loving cup will be a awarded the champion team. The cup will be deposited in the trophy room and will become a permanent memorial of any class which wins it three times. Each winning class has its year, the year of its victory, and the names of its members engraved on the cup. The winning team, in addition to getting the cup, will be taken to the Thanksgiving game. In order to get this trip the team must remain in training up to Thanksgiving.
RECORD FALL OF MOISTURE.
Greatest Rainfall in University's Record.—8.8 Inches This Week.
The precipitation of moisture for this week has been 8.80 inches, which is the greatest October rainfall in the forty years record kept by the University. Previous to this week .65 inches had fallen, making the total 9.45 inches. Since yesterday morning the precipitation of melted snow measures 1.29 inches.
The only October record which comes anywhere near this amount is that of 1870, when the rainfall for the whole month was 6.97 inches. There are several days more in the month in which the old woman up in the sky may continue to pluck her geese, and the month of October, 1908, bids fair to make a record that just can't be beaten.
A Disturbance on Olympus.
Merely because the students at the play last night were calling for the usual rendition of Boola-Boola, ex- Congressman Bowersock appeared in the gallery with a squad of police and attempted to suppress the demonstration. After sizing up the situation, however, the minions of the law decided to lay hands on no one, as the "gods" numbered about 200 and showed a disposition to hold together. The students then continued to make sarcastic references to Professor Blackmar's speech in a way scarcely calculated to mollify the irate owner of the opera house.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Proprietor Bowersock was treated to a sample of the real thing last night in his fire trap opera house. Most of the speech delivered yesterday in chapel was repeated by the students in the gallery so that there could be no mistake in its application. The students who were in the upper deck of the fire trap asked the orchestra to play Boolo-Boola, but the proprietor of the antedeluvian house gave the orchestra instruction not to play for the students. He forgets that most of his patronage comes from students, and that it is not in good taste to expect everything and wish to give nothing in return. But when he tried to destroy freedom of speech among the gods of the upper deck last night he had miscalculated the task he had imposed on himself. With half a dozen "cops" trained to do his bidding he invaded the gallery. "Who dams up the peoples' water", Who makes the people live on rice and peanuts" were the endearing salutations with which the students received the advocate of the simple life for others. "The Devil" was the name of the play being produced on the stage last night but it was being played in the gallery with a great deal more reality.
Since last Thanksgiving, when they were defeated by a very close score, Missouri has been carefully laying plans to capture this years annual clash with Kansas. Their schedule was made with that very end in view and in that matter at least they have a tremendous advantage over Kansas. On November 7 the Jayhawkers play Washburn, Missouri plays Drake; on the 14th K. U. meets the mighty Nebraska team, the Tigers will have an easy time with Washington; on the 21st Kansas journeys to Iowa City to meet Iowa, Missouri rests for the final contest. On Thanksgiving day the Kansas athletes will be tired out by the most heroic schedule of any team in the Missouri Valley, Missouri will be refreshed after the hard Drake game with the light game against Washington and the twelve day rest. Kansas will win, but under heavy handicap.

A motto for the University of Kansas: Discretion is the better part of getting appropriation.
And now the girls have decided that they want to go to school and have formed a compact among themselves; in other words have sworn off and shaken hands on it, that they are to settle down and study. Well of course the result will be that the library will be a little more crowded in the evening and morning calls may become the fashion. The Kansas is not much in favor of rules made for the purpose of making people "be good," but if the rules the girls have made rest upon the consent of a large majority of the sorority girls they may be effective in correcting one serious fault in the social system here, which, however, is a common fault everywhere we have been.

To Start Divinity School.
At a meeting of the authorities of the Christian church today at Topeka the question of a divinity school at Lawrence will be decided. If the assembly votes to establish the school in connection with the University, an endowment of $75,000 will then be secured.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED.
Hard Luck Story from Washburn and Iowa—Nebraska is Confident.
Lincoln, Neb., October 27. As a result of the heavy Minnesota and Haskell games the Nebraska football team is badly crippled. Kroger and Beltzer were both injured at Minneapolis and they will not be in the best condition for the Ames game next Saturday. This contest is one of the heaviest the Varsity goes into this year and with the men out of condition before the game the team may come out of the conflict battered up beyond repair. The fleet quarter back Cooke is out of the game at present and the rooters are wondering if he will come round for Ames and Kansas.
Old Man Bentover—(who doesn't understand class troubles, receives a letter from his son, a freshman at K. U.) “By gum, I guess them K. U. purfessors isn't a-teachin” Zekiel the Scripturs like I learnt 'em.'
The Haskell game Saturday, in which the Cornhuskers won only 5 to 0, does not show the real strength of either team. The condition of the field made scoring very difficult and on an average field Nebraska would have swamped the Indians.
Columbia, Mo., October 27. As a result of the mighty defeat the Tigers gave to Westminster Saturday the students are waking up more than ever to the wonderful possibilities of the Varsity. When Rolla was downed 16 to 0 on October 11 the coaches thought that Iowa would be held to a low score. The result of that game, 10 to 5 in favor of Missouri set the rooters wild and all kinds of speculations are heard. Many are prophesying an ever victorious team for Missouri. With their easy schedule it looks as though Kansas is the only team standing in the way of the realization of the Tiger's fondest hopes.
(Continued on page 4)
Iowa City, Iowa, October 27. At the present time Coach Catlin has the biggest hospital list of the year. The whole team is a collection of sprained ankles; twisted knees and bad legs. The Morningside game last Saturday was comparatively easy and gave the Hawkeyes some chance to recover. A heavy schedule now opens before the team culminating in the Kansas and Nebraska games. Kansas comes to Iowa on Saturday,
SONG RECITAL TONIGHT.
First of a Series of Interesting Entertainments by Musicians.
Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson, the noted contralto, will give a song recital this evening in Fraser Hall. This is the first of four recitals given under the auspices of the school of Fine Arts. The second will be a piano recital given by Harold Henry, a University of Kansas graduate. Mary Angell, one of the most famous artists, will give a piano recital for the third attraction. Ralph Wylie, former instructor in the University, will complete the list with a violin recital.
Mrs. Wilson is a favorite at the University. Last year she drew the largest audience at a paid entertainment in Fraser.
Are Getting Cards.
The students who joined the Hospital Association are receiving their membership cards today. The total membership is 738. The three-dollar rate which was imposed after October 15 is to be kept for new members, although the desired membership has been reached.
Prof. T. W. Todd of Washburn gave an illustrated lecture to the students of the German department Monday afternoon on Schiller's "William Tell" as he saw it presented in Altorf, Switzerland.
CLASS GAMES THURSDAY.
Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors to Meet Seniors.
The class football games have been postponed until Thursday afternoon. None of the classes are ready to play except the freshmen who have been practicing every day since the season opened, and are confident of winning. The line of the class of '09 never has been crossed, however, and most of the original team is still in school.
The athletic association has given the senior class a. silver loving cup which is being engraved now and will be put in the trophy room soon. This cup is to belong to the class permanently but the association is offering another cup to the winning team this year. The championship team will have its name engraved on the cup and any team which wins three consecutive years is to own the cup.
The freshmen will meet the sophomores and the juniors will struggle with the seniors, Thursday.
"Sprouty" Porter has been elected captain of the 1909 team. He won one of their games last year by two drop kicks.
The freshmen will be handicapped Thursday by the loss of Capt. Lovette'the big full back who was taken off the field last

ON TO LINCOLN IS THE CRY
ROOTERS WILL BE NEEDED FOR HARDEST GAME.
More Expensive This Year, But Make Plans to Go Anyway.
Are you going to Lincoln November 14 to help Kansas defeat the Cornhuskers? If seventy-seven fares are guaranteed the Union Pacific will run a special train from here leaving any time the management wishes, probably Friday night. The night trip would give the boys a better chance to rest. The rate under ordinary conditions is $9.70. The special rate for the round trip will be $8.30.
The athletic association has made arrangements for thirty men to go on the trip. This number will include the manager, coaches and subs. If fifty men will show their desire to accompany the team the special will be secured. A paper, now being prepared by a committee interested in the matter, will be circulated among the students to get signers.
Freshman Emancipation.
"Banzai! Banzai! Emancipation at last!" The freshmen are happy. Their trouble is at an end and emancipation has come, so they say.
"The question of caps is a thing of the past," said a prominent freshman this morning. "I don't think anything will ever be done or said about them again, and what is more the freshmen will never wear them now. The ten commandments are void and useless, and cannot have any effect on us now."
Miss Wilder to Sing.
Miss Sarah Wilder of Leavenworth a former University student, assisted by Prof. Carl Preyer will give a vocal recital November 5th probably at the Presbyterian Church. Miss Wilder has spent three years in Paris studying music under De Reske. She will return next summer for more study.
Harger Entertained.
Salt Lake City, Oct. 24.-C. M. Harger, of Abilene, dean of the Journalism school at the University of Kansas, and two other Kansas men were entertained by the Salt Lake City commercial club here this evening. Governor Cutler presided at the reception which followed.

THE NEED OF A GIRLS'
DORMITORY
A move has been begun by the Federation of Womens' Clubs of Kansas to build a dormitory at the University for the occupancy of girls who are not members of a recognized organization. Such a move should meet with the hearty sanction of people all over the state. If there is one thing that Kansas needs it is a dormitory for girls. Dormitories for a large part of the student body could be used but there seems to be a pressing necessity for a home for a large number of girls attending the University. When a girl comes to the University and does not join a sorority, or has no friends or relatives in school she is almost entirely without social connections. Now in the case of the men in the University this is not such a serious thing but with the girls of the institution, for obvious reasons, it is a very serious social problem. The men of the University go out and make their own coterie of friends but not so with the girls. Now dormitories would serve as a central place around which could be formed a college community society that could possess most of the advantages to be found in a fraternity house. At the University of Missouri there is a girls' dormitory that is very popular and most of the girls who do not belong to sororities live in this hall. The University of Kansas owes it to itself and the girls of Kansas who are seeking a higher education to help the good women of Kansas in every way to further their worthy project. The people of Kansas owe it to themselves and the coming women of Kansas to give every encouragement to the Federation of Womens' Clubs in their effort to improve conditions that we here, who are accustomed to seeing them are prone to overlook.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
In a scurrilous article which tries to slander and misrepresent the entire student body under pretext of abusing a handful of students who attended the performance in the Bowersock fire trap Friday night the Lawrence Journal, the same Journal that last year chased itself back in its hole, has almost a column diatribe devoted to what it calls the disgraceful conduct of the students in the gallery. The article in the part that relates to the students is a mixture of falsehoods, cowardly insinuations and is about such as past experience would lead us to expect from the paper that Brady is reputed to be the editor of.

It is only in the last two or three days that it has come to light that for a number of years two sororities have had rules prohibiting callers except on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. ___

High Grade Students Come From the West He Says.
"We, in the East, realize that Kansas is one of the great universities. The graduates she sends out are stalwart men, able to deliver the goods". said Dr. Winfield S. Hall, in his address to five hundred men of the University, in chapel, Sunday afternoon. Dr. Hall, who is dean of the Medical School of Northwestern University gave his lecture "The Young Man's Problem". He said that hundreds of students come to our universities with no knowledge of physical care, to guide them in their life at school.

DOPE OF OUR NEIGHBORS.
(Continued from page 1)
October 21, and on the following Tuesday Nebraska will hook up with the 'varsity on the local field. The surprising defeat at the hands of Missouri has put Coach Catlin on the alert and he is making every effort to take the first Iowa-Kansas game after the long break in football relations.
Topeka, Kas., Oct. 27.—The football enthusiasts have had their ardor somewhat dampened by the defeat Washburn suffered from St. Marys. The team has not made its ordinary good showing and everyone confesses that the squad this year is not the equal of the team that defeated K. U. a year ago. Many of the students and townspeople, however, are backing Washburn to take the game from the Jayhawkers on November 7 in spite of the team's poor showing. The game with Drake next Saturday will be a real line on the wearers of the blue and if Drake is victorious little hope will remain for the defeat of Kansas.

Next Rhodes Examination.
The next qualifying examination for scholars in the United States under the Rhodes bequest, will be held in October 1909. The students will be selected January 1910 and the successful ones will begin work at Oxford October of the same year. Provided there is an opening at Oxford one student is appointed from each state yearly. In the past few years, Kansas has been sending only three men in four years as vacancies have not occurred more frequently. Only one hundred students are to be kept at Oxford from the United States at one time.
The Kansas committee of selection is composed of Chancellor Strong, of Kansas; President Saunders, of Washburn; and President Murlin, of Baker. Beginning with 1911 the committee will put other schools in the class with the University, Baker and Washburn provided there are candidates from them.
Leedy-Newman.
The wedding of Miss Edna Katherine Leedy and Calvin H. Newman,'06, of Emporia, will occur this evening at the home of Miss Leedy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Leedy of Eureka. On account of the illness of Mr. Newman's grandmother, the wedding will be a quiet one. Miss Leedy was in school here during the year '06-'07. She is a member of the Pi Phi sorority. Mr. Newman was graduated from the college in '06. He is a member of Phi Delta Theta. He is now assistant cashier of the Emporia National Bank. Both of the young people were quite popular while in college. They will leave immediately after the wedding for a trip in the South and East. They will go to New Orleans and later to New York City. They will be at home in Emporia after December 1.
Council Committee Meets.
A student council committee, composed of M. H. Poindexter, Walter Brown and Hiem Goldman, met with the faculty committee, appointed by the Chancellor last week, to discuss the proposed student control scheme. The two committees were unanimously in favor of upperclassmen controlling undergraduate affairs of the University. They will meet again to-night and decide upon definite action.
The proposition which will be placed before the University will be the recommendation of the constitution proposed by the committee of ten, which was appointed last spring to find out how upperclassmen in other universities control undergraduate affairs. A date will be set for a mass meeting of the students. At this time the constitution as drawn up by the committee of ten, will be recommended by the two committees. If the constitution is accepted the meeting will decide upon a date for the election of a student council.

DAY OF REST FOR VARSITY
COACHES WILL VISIT MANY HOSTILE CAMPS SATURDAY.
Squad To Watch Washburn Play Drake, Indians and Freshmen Play First Team.
Saturday the Jayhawkers will get the first rest they nave had since the football season opened. While no game is scheduled for the day every man connected with the team will be busy at some effective work. Coaches Kennedy and Mosse will be at Lincoln attending the Nebraska-Iowa game. Kansas plays both these teams and the coaches will get a line on the form of both aggregations on the one trip.
Coach Rouse will be sent to Columbia to see the plays the Tigers use against the mighty Ames Team. Nearly the entire football team will go down to Topeka where Washburn plays Drake Saturday. Each Jayhawker can pick out the man fated to be his adversary a week later and watch his particular style.
Coach Kennedy is not letting his proteges loaf this week just because Saturday is an off day. Yesterday evening the Varsity lined up against the Haskell Indians. The Red-men were given the ball on the K. U. 40 yd. line and kept the ball continuously irrespective of the gains made. The practice gave the Jayhawkers excellent experience in breaking up forward pass formations.' The Indians made numerous gains with their pass. Kennedy's men grew more successful in blocking the play as the game progressed.
---
Tuesday evening the Freshmen scrimmaged with the regulars. Rouse has a husky, well drilled bunch of first year men and they played the Varsity to a standstill. The Freshhes used the Washburn plays and formations and made some headway against the stars. On the whole, however, the Jayhawkers solved the Washburn formations.
Officials for Washburn Game.
The officials for the Washburn game have been agreed on by the two schools. Masker, of K. C.A.C., will be referee, Bonnifield, of Kansas City Central, umpire; and Wade, of Topeka, head lineman.
Professor E. Miller, head of the mathematics department, talked in chapel Tuesday morning on the neglected art of conversation. He urged the students to cultivate the art of sensible conversation.

LAW SCHOOL CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY TONIGHT.
Justice Benson of the Supreme Bench Will Speak.—R. O. Douglas Will Be Toastmaster.
Tonight at the Eldridge house will occur the fourth annual banquet of the School of Law, commemorating the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the school. Among the prominent speakers will be Hon. W. A. Benson, of the Kansas supreme bench, who was an instructor in the school shortly after its inception.
R. O. Douglas will preside as toastmaster. For the senior class Harley Wood will reply to the question, "Why are we here?" Fred G. Apt, of the middle class, will speak for those who are "Betwixt and Between;" and I. N. Williams will voice the slogan of the juniors, "Three years and an LL. B. to gain." Remarks will be made by Chancellor Strong, Dean Green and Prof. H. W. Humble of the Law school, and Sam Bishop of the Lawrence bar.
The law banquet was inaugurated four years ago when the law building was dedicated. All students and alumni of the school are invited, and it is expected that a number of out of town alumni will attend. The Law school will be given a holiday tomorrow and it is probable that little will be done in the school until after election.
The Law department was organized in October, 1878, by Dean J. W. Green. Thirteen men entered the first class, and by the end of the year all had dropped the course. The next year Dean Green was assisted by J. Patterson. They received a fee of $15 from each student as a salary. The first class of 8 members graduated in 1880, among whom was L. H. Perkins of Lawrence.
"Uncle Jimmy" allowed the students to use a part of his law library. The Board of Regents finally donated $500 for books, and the nucleus of the present school was started.
Roval Dresden Orchestra.
A feature of the May music festival next spring will be the Royal Dresden Orchestra, which is considered one of the finest in Europe. Three concerts will be given by the orchestra. Isabelle Bouton, soprano, and Edward Lockhart, basso, will be the other attractions during the festival week. This orchestra will make its first American tour next spring.
Fine Arts Have a Spread.
The students of the drawing and painting department of the Fine Arts school gave a spread in Snow hall Wednesday afternoon. Thirty-five pupils were present at the feast. Mrs. Fisher and Misses Rowlands and Edie managed the affair.
FOR BASKETBALL
SCHEDULE INCLUDES TRIPS NORTH, SOUTH AND EAST.
Large Number of Candidates for Places.—Allen May Coach Team Again.
Manager Lansdon has arranged a long schedule for the basketball team this year including three trips. During the holidays the team will play at Emporia, Manhattan, Salina, Lindsborg, Newton, Wichita and Winfield. A later trip will be made to St. Louis and Columbia. On this tour the boys will play Washington University, Warrensburg Normal and Iowa University. Nebraska and the K. C. A. C. team will be included in the schedule.
A large number of candidates will be out for practice which begins November 1. Bergen, Randall and Heizer will try out for center. D. McCune, G. McCune, Bond, Peard, Long and Wohler will try for forward. Captain Woodward will play one guard and Martindell, Johnson and Fisk will contest for the other place. The athletic board has not decided on a coach yet but probably Phog Allen will take the team again this year.
ATHLETIC BOARD ELECTION.
Parker and McCune Are Running for the Place.
The election of a member to the Athletic Board to fill the vacancy made by the resignation of Milton Miller, will be held in the chapel tomorrow at 12:15.
Two candidates are running for the place, Frank Parker and George McCune.
Parker is a Sigma Chi and was cheer leader last year. He holds the record for the high jump of the University. McCune was captain of last year's basket-ball team and will play again this year.
TO GIVE "THE CLIMBERS."
Thespians Will Appear on Stage in Latter Part of January.
"The Climbers" is the name of the play to be given by the Thespian Dramatic Club during the latter part of January.
The play committee, composed of Hazel Allison, Eva Detwiler, Sybil Betts, Roy Simpson, and Maurice Allendorfer, met yesterday afternoon and selected this play from a list submitted by Miss Georgia Brown.
Kemp Talks to Quill.
Harry Kemp occupied the hour at the Quill club meeting Tuesday afternoon with a discussion of John Keats, the English poet. He gave an interesting sketch of the poet's life and character interspersed with the reading of some of his poems and comments upon them.

The play is said to be of a higher class than any yet given by the Club. The scene is laid in France at the time of Louis XI. The action centers around the deeds of Louis in disguise. The Burgundians are besieging Paris and a mob scene forms the exciting part of the closing scene.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Student Council at Michigan in making rules to govern the class elections to be held in a few days, has decreed that no candidate or faction shall print any kind of a ticket or bill for the purpose of furthering the candidacy of particular parties. The effect of this move can already be marked. There is less political trickery and wire pulling and factionalism is reduced to a minimum. The making of slates is entirely done away with and the best man has a chance of being elected to office. The old timers, of course, are wailing that political apathy is the result but that is not the fact. The groups of schemers and slate makers are no longer seen congregated in the halls of Michigan planning whom they may outtrick. But the students as a whole are active, they vote quietly and generally about right.
Next Friday there will be an election for the choosing of a member of the athletic board and already the politicians are getting busy and as always are working on the assumption that the man that can get the most votes is the best man for the place. Politics in the University of Kansas has always been corrupt and in many cases the men least qualified for a position have been selected just because they suited some faction. It is time for the students of the University to forget their petty factionalism and chose the best man for the place regardless of whether or not he suits one faction or not—it is time to get rid of the idea that because a man is a fraternity man or a nonfraternity man he is disqualified for a place in a student organization.
By the tone of the student publications at Missouri University it is evident that the hope of the Tigers to take the Thanksgiving game is burning brighter as the time for the contest draws near. The Tigers too, seem to have
grounds for their hope this year. They seem to be playing better football than ever before and they have arranged a schedule with the only intention of meeting Kansas uninpaired in strength. It is not too soon for the Jayhawkers, the coaches and every student in the University to get their eyes on Missouri and keep them there until the Jayhawker yell of victory shakes the city at the mouth of the Kaw on Turkey day evening.
The Kansan is aware of the fact that at all times its policy does not meet the approval of some people—and indeed it would feel bad if it did. But there are those who have, we think unjustly, criticised the Kansan for the manner in which it handles its news. In these columns it has been stated before that the Kansan is not a magazine nor a literary publication. It tries to follow the form and methods of a newspaper. It is a newspaper first last and all the time, and all it asks is that it be judged by newspaper standards. If it select from a speech those parts that are timely, full of human interest, in preference to the more scholastic and intellectual, it is only following the bent of the jour-

No paper can please all its readers and while most papers would like to cater to those who depise gossip and sensationalism the majority of the readers are in the other class and success demands that their wants be supplied. If the Kansan does not please you in every respect reflect that, perhaps, you are trying to judge by a wrong standard, or to be frank about the matter it may be that you haven't a scintilla of knowledge about what a newspaper is.

THIRTY-FIVE TENNIS GAMES
Preliminary Contests are Closing Watson Has 100 Per Cent.
The Varsity Basket-ball team will begin practice the first of next week.
With thirty-five games of the tennis tournament laid away to rest and only ten men left in the struggle for the first place the dope on the remaining contests is an easy matter.
Out of the ten remaining contestants Watson is the only man who still has an average of 1000 per cent; Bigelow and Farnsworth have a percentage of 800. These three will no doubt make the first team. Leland, Purton and Uhrlaub are also playing a good game and the fourth place on the first team will probably be filled by one of the three. The others who are still in the tournament are: Wood, Seddon, Richardson and Lee.
Weather conditions lately have been a drawback to the playing of matches, but some practice work is being done on the Gym courts, and results will be reached this week.
DR. WILLISTON RETURNS.
Former Dean of Medic School is Visiting Here Today.
Dr. Samuel Wendell Williston, formerly dean of the Medical School, who was called to accept a position in the University of Chicago in 1902, is now a visitor in the University.
Dr. Williston is returning from a research trip through Texas, in the interest of the paleontology department, of which he is the head.
Dr. Williston came to the University of Kansas in 1890. He was Professor of Historical Geology and Vertebrate Anatomy, besides being dean of the medical school. He received a B. S. degree of the Kansas Agricultural School in 1872 and an A. M. degree in 1875. He received an M. D. at Yale, and a Ph. D. in 1885.
Dr. Williston was instrumental in the building of the Museum here, and in the collection of Jurassic bones from Wyoming.

RESERVED SEATS NOT POPULAR
THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION PASSES A RESOLUTION.
At the Meeting Yesterday George McCune Won Place on Athletic Board by Vote of 157 to 115.
At the meeting of the athletic association yesterday a motion was made by Ralph Johnson to the effect that the athletic board be requested to instruct the manager of athletics not to reserve any seats in the north bleachers at football games, contending that holders of season tickets were entitled to a seat without extra cost. The motion evidently expressed the sentiments of a large number of students as it carried by a large majority.
The meeting was called for the purpose of filling the vacancy in the athletic board caused by the resignation of Milton Miller. There were two candidates for the place, George McCune winning over Frank Parker by a vote of 157 to 115.
Merle Groene was elected chairman of the rowing committee. There was no opposition.
"DOPESTERS" BUSY TODAY.
Missouri Meets Ames and Iowa the Cornhuskers.
Today is a day of crucial football contests in the Missouri Valley. The leading teams will meet and the results of the games will be the occasion of many a column of dope. Of chief interest to Kansas is the Missouri-Ames game. The Tigers go into the contest today well conditioned and confident of defeating Ames. If they do down the Iowa Aggies they will be on the high road to the championship of the valley; in fact the Jayhawkers alone will stand between them and the goal.
The terrific game between Iowa and Nebraska at Iowa City is also of vital importance to Kansas. Missouri has already defeated Iowa and the Hawkeye showing against Nebraska will be the basis for interesting comparisons.
To Get Election Returns.
A number of Lawrence citizens have made arrangements to secure complete election returns Tuesday night for the benefit of the people of Lawrence and students of the University. The returns will be thrown on a screen on the city Y.M.C. A. building. Both the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph bulletins will be secured together with telephone service for local returns. In this way both the local and national fields will be fully covered.
ELECTRIC LINE WANTS ON CAMPUS
Board of Regents Will Give Right of Way to Company—Hoad to Make Survey.
At the meeting of the board of regents yesterday a representative of the Laming street railway company, which has a local franchise to build an electric car line in Lawrence, asked permission from the University to construct their line across the University campus.
It is practically certain that the company will be given the right of way across the campus, but the location of the tracks have not been decided. W.C. Hoad, of the engineering school, was instructed to make some preliminary surveys and the company will be granted the the right of way along the most feasible route. It is probable the car line will enter the campus on the north side and go down the hill on the southeast aide.

GOOD TIME AT THE LAW BANQUET
Douglas Made a Hit as Toastmaster—Songs in Honor of Uncle Jimmy.
At the law banquet Friday night covers were laid for 112 guests and the occasion was the most enjoyable of any banquet since the first one four years ago. The table was arranged in the form of a double T and the decorations were in green.
R. O. Douglas, who presided as toastmaster, "got away with" his share of the function so cleverly as to call forth praise from the old grads. Justice W. A. Benson, Chancellor Strong, Harley Wood, Fred Apt, I. N. Williams, and Fred Wood, '99, and W. H. Piatt, '96, both of Kansas City, were the speakers of the evening.
A special feature of the evening was the singing of the Law quartet, composed of Edgar Forde, R. L. Douglas, Irwin Snattinger and Homer Conley. The songs were in honor of "Uncle Jimmy" and were composed by Irwin Snattinger.
Yesterday was "Ucle Jimmy day" and the laws enjoyed their fourth annual holiday in honor of their dean.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
"By defeating Ames we would become recognized by the "Big Eight" in addition to cinching the Missouri Valley Championship," says the Missouri Independent. This is the time of year that the sport writers on the Missouri papers indulge in their annual short but sweet period of pipe dreaming. They seemingly have forgotten that the Tigers play Kansas on Thanksgiving day. The Jayhawkers will put an end to their delightful pastime on turkey day in the same customary manner of the last seven years. But about this time next year the Columbia scribes will forgetfully take out their pipes again.
Right along with the protestation of the Kansan that it is not a literary publication the advisability of starting some kind of a literary publication should be considered. There is room in the University of Kansas for a most excellent students' monthly publication. In the different departments of the university research work of original character is done that would be valuable if it was published but as it is the work is lost to all but the one who does it. If there are some enterprising students in the university now is the chance to start something that will fill a want.
A long story appears in the St. Louis Republic and is copied in the University Missouriian in which coach Cayou, of the Washington team is credited with giving out an interview which if he is guilty of brands him as a most mendacious liar. He says the officials were fixed by Kansas and that the game was won by foul means, that Kansas made both touchdowns when the ball was outside bounds. It was said that the Indian coach was a little too full of the fire water before he left Lawrence but St. Louis is far enough away to give the ordinary man time to sober up.
The Clarion of Denver Colorado screams and yells on every page of its last issue for the Republican ticket. But it is all easy to see through when it is known that the Chancellor of Denver university is the republican governor of Colorado.
1000 MEN ATTENDED.
Men of Prominence Attended Student's Bible Conference.
Over one thousand men gathered at the first international student Bible Conference in Columbus, Ohio, last week.
The chief purpose of the conference was to bring to the attention of the students of North America, the message of the Bible to individual and national life.
Chancellor Strong and Dr. W. C. Payne delivered addresses. Dr. W. L. Burdick, J. P. Hagerman, C. L. Hanson, H. C. Herman and L. Beeghley were other University representatives.
The day sessions were devoted to discussions and addresses bearing upon the direct development of the Bible study movement and the promoting of Bible teaching.
The evening sessions were devoted to the addresses of men of recognized ability and scholarship.

Divinity School Next.
As a result of a talk made by Chancellor Frank Strong before the state meeting of the Christian church in Topeka Tuesday the authorities reconsidered the question of establishing a divinity school in connection with the University. A committee was appointed to look into the matter of a $75,000 endowment. The school was not definitely assured at the meeting but since the University is the logical place for such a school the church men are in favor of the establishment.

SENIORS AND FRESHMEN WIN.
Take First Games from Juniors and Sophomores.
The seniors defeated the juniors by a score of 10 to 0 in the first game of the inter-class football series Thursday. The game was played on the golf links. The sod was water-soaked, making the field so slippery that the real strength of the teams could not be shown. The seniors scored the first touchdown after a few minutes of play by straight football. The second touchdown was made on three fumbles, which were started by a forward pass. Porter, Ahlborn and Howell played a star game.
The freshmen defeated the sophomores yesterday by a score of 27 to 0 in a one-sided contest. The first year men clearly outplayed their opponents by straight football. The
sophomores were unable to make the first downs. Smith and Moffat were the star players. Russell, a sophomore, had a rib broken.
The seniors will play the freshmen next week for the championship. Should they win they will have an unbroken record of victories. The winning team will be taken to the Kansas-Missouri game at Kansas City on Thanksgiving Day

WHITE TALKS POLITICS.
A fresh shipment of potato chips at Vic's.
"Politics ought to be decided above the collar button and not below it", said William Allen White editor of the Emporia Gazette, in chapel yesterday morning.
According to him, the question of the presidential campaign is not that of the full dinner pail but of fundamental problems such as controlling of greed.
In speaking of Bryan and Taft, he said, "One is typically the critic; the other is efficient. It is necessary to have one who protests and one who acts."
Mr. White holds that we will never have complete democracy until the women vote. He said, "The aristocracy of trowers is no better than that of the crown."
REDSKINS GO SOUTH.
Long Schedule Completed for the Haskell Team.
Superintendent Peairs has arranged the longest and hardest foothall schedule ever played by the braves at Haskell. The out of town games open on a southern trip at Houston, Texas. Several contests have been matched in the big state. November 16 they will play the big game of the trip at New Orleans with Louisiana State school. The Dixie land invasion ends with a struggle on the grounds of the University of Alabama.
PIG FARM STARTED.
Seventy-five Pets Have Been Secured for Slaughter.
The work of inoculating guinea pigs to test the presence of tuberculosis germs in the Kansas milk supply began last week. Eight pigs were used for the first tests. Many more of the little pets will be sacrificed to science as the work goes on.
Seventy-five pigs are now being cared for by C. N. White at his home in west Lawrence. The number will be increased to 300 as the slaughter goes on. The work is in charge of Dr. F.H.Billings and F.U.Agrelius.
