trip. With the exception of Rice, the men are in excellent condition and are all anxious to get a whack at the Missourians.
The University band and a small army of rooters will follow Thursday. The crowd of rooters will be smaller this year on account of the change from Kansas City to St. Joe. Both teams will however be well supported and the sauce "Tiger, Tiger, M. S. U." and the hoarse "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K.U.' will be heard as of yore cheering the heroes to victory or defeat. The various fraternities will hold their annual banquets in Kansas City Wednesday evening and go on to the battle grounds the next morning.

During sixteen years of football warfare, three times only have the Tigers carried home the spoils of victory. Eleven times the Crimson and the Blue has waved proudly over the camp of the victorious Jayhawkers. Two games have ended in tie scores: in 1900 6 to 6, in 1906 0 to 0. Kansas has to her credit 247 points; Missouri, 81. Missouri has seven zero marks; Kansas has one.
In the contest—the seventeenth—the rival schools will present teams nearly equal in weight and skill. The Missourians, as in years gone by, are confident of victory, and expect to win as easily as did Nebraska. Their men are veterans and are skilled in the use of the forward pass, which they intend to make a dangerous weapon in the big game on Turkey Day. The dope on this year's game is in their favor, but as they have played a much lighter schedule than Kansas, little confidence can be placed on figures. The Iowa game, which they lost by a score of 21 to 6, is the only hard game they have played.
Strengthened and not discouraged by three successive defeats, the tribe of Kennedy is confident of victory. With an invincible line-up; with one of the fleetest back fields in the west; and with the best punter in the Missouri valley, the Kansans expect to swoop down upon the foe with a spirit that can mean only one thing-one more knot in the Tiger's tail.
"We will win. Our team is in excellent condition and our defeats have made us stronger. Missouri is strong on the forward pass, but we have a trick or two as good as that," said Coach Kennedy last night. This is Kennedy's fourth year as coach. On three successive Thanksgiving days he has seen his proteges battle with the Columbia boys but in all that time he has not seen a Tiger warrior cross the red and blue goal line.
"Their team is heavier than ours, but we have winning material," is Coach Parry's opinion.
"Missouri has a fast team and a good bunch of plays," said Donald, the hero of many a gridiron battle, "but we will beat them as we always do."
The Missourians will be pitted against the strongest team that has represented K. U. this season. With the exception of Billy Rice every veteran is in the best of condition and can be depended on to go his limit Thursday. Miller will be there to make his flashy end runs and Angney will again don his togs and will general the team. He will do the onside kicking and throw the forward passes and can be depended on to pull off his regular star work in handling and returning punts, which has made him the idol of the rooters this year.
Captain Rouse, one of the best ends in the Missouri valley and a wonder at smashing interference is entirely recovered and will probably play the whole contest. Rouse is a good leader and in the coming game, his last, will play as he

CHOOSE SPEAKER
DEMOCRATS FORMED DEFINATE ORGANIZATION.
Samuel Bartlett to Represent Club at Banquet in Topeka—A. A. Mann President.
At a meeting of the democrats of the University Monday evening attended by thirtythree men from all schools of the University, A. A. Mann was elected president of the Democratic Club for the coming year. Roy Cox was chosen for Vice President; Lester Disney, Sec.; and Walter Brown, Treas. Samuel F. Bartlett was unanimously elected to represent the Club at the democratic banquet in Topeka during the month of February.
Bryan was enthusiastically endorsed as candidate for President in 1908 and a committee was appointed to draw up a permanent constitution for the club.
Regular meetings will be held this year and democrats from the state will be obtained to address the club from time to time. By campaign time a good working organization will have been perfected.

Cecil Forter, chairman of the Senior Play, and Frank Parker, manager, have announced the following appointments to the play committee: Kate Reynolds, Rebecca Moody, Everett Copley, John Ise and Fox Landon. There are three members yet to be appointed.
Mrs. Carl Preyer Dead.
Mrs. Carl Preyer, wife of Professor Preyer of the Fine Arts school, died at her home in this city Sunday morning after an illness of a week. The cause of death was pneumonia. The funeral will be held from the family home Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock. No classes in the Fine Arts school have been held this week.

Lets Come Home Early.
The special train to St. Joe on the Union Pacific will start back at nine o'clock instead of eleven thirty as previously announced. The sentiment among the student body seemed to justify this change.
