Are you going to support the Jayhawkers in their hardest struggle of the year? The band is going to Lincoln. Your money, enthusiasm and presence at the Nebraska game are needed to cheer the warriors for the red and blue on to victory. A triumph over the men of the north means an all victorious team.
Now is the time to show your loyalty to Kansas and her men of war. They need your support. The bracing "Rock Chalk" from the throats of a hundred sons of K.U. and the notes of Crimson and Blue from the band will do much to attach the enemy's scalp to the belt of Captain Crowell. The time between chapel and noon to-morrow will be used for the biggest demonstration ever seen at K.U. Be present.
The students have responded liberally with money to send the band. It will go. The athletic management gave $50, and the band subscribed over $80. Down town merchants gave $27 and the students did the rest. Several dollars are yet needed. Don't be backward about helping.
In order to secure the special train over the Union Pacific to Lincoln for the game Saturday it will be necessary to sell 77 tickets by 11 o'clock tomorrow. The band is going along with 25 members. Thirty others have indicated their intention of going along to cheer the team on to victory and seventeen are still needed to get the train. Tickets will be on sale at the check stand in the morning. If you are going—and you should buy your ticket the first thing in the morning. The train will
leave about 10 o'clock Friday evening.
Tomorrow Coaches Kennedy and Mosse will lead their valiant band of stalwart gridiron players to the camp of the Cornhuskers at Lincoln. There the most vital game on the Kansas schedule will be played and the Championship of the Missouri Valley will be definitely decided.
If Captain Crowell and his hardies win, for the first time in several years the title will come to Lawrence. Nebraska so far has undisputed right to the much sought honor. By defeating her, at one step Kansas will take the coveted title. Ames, Iowa and Missouri, once contenders in the Valley, have all been sidetracked and Kansas and Nebraska, battling giants that they are, are left on the scene. When the smoke of the conflict has blown away next Saturday, one of the foes will be down and out for keeps; the other will be the champion with a title proved and undisputed. The team that Kansas will send against Nebraska is by far the best that has worn the red and the blue this year. Every man is in good condition and bent upon putting up the game of his life. For the past week the coaches have been drilling the team against "King" Cole's pet formations. Kennedy and Mosse have formed some new plays themselves that will be sprung for the first time Saturday.
The fact that Nebraska has not been beaten this year proves the genuine quality of her team. Minnesota, Iowa and Ames have not been able to daunt the
Cornhuskers and by dint of well earned victories Nebraska has wonderful confidence in her team. The Lincoln squad is in good condition for the game. The rival teams do not vary in weight enough to make a material difference. Each has a strong line on offense and defense. Kansas has the advantage over Nebraska in the center of the line but Nebraska makes up for this by outclassing Kansas on the ends. The Cornhuskers have the advantage at quarter where the fleet-footed Cook plays, and at full back, which is held down by the plunging Kroger. Myers, Bond, Fiske and Waring are better than the rival half backs. Nebraska has been an exponent of the open style of play. In the Ames game Captain Harvey and his teammates made 160 yards on the forward pass while the Iowa Aggies were making only 27.

KANSAS COACHES TALK.
Kennedy and Mosse Are Both Hopeful of Victory.
This morning Coach Mosse was called up by a Kansas reporter and on being asked what he thought about a chance for victory, replied: "Kansas has a good chance to win; in fact, I believe we will win. I realize that Nebraska has played harder games, won greater victories and received more experience than has Kansas, but our team is going into the game in better condition than the Cornhuskers. Kansas will put up an article of football not seen on McCook this year."
As practice continues, Coach Kennedy is becoming almost confident that Kansas will win. "Our team will be better Saturday than at any time this season. If Nebraska wins they will have to put up their hardest game. We have a few surprises in store for Nebraska."
At the Chemical club meeting yesterday Prof. L. N. Bushong spoke on "The Recent Petroleum Congress."
MADE BREAD FOR BOYS
UNIVERSITY GIRLS SHOWED THEIR ABILITY TO-DAY.
Members of Dr. Hyde's Physiology Class Served Luncheon to Boys of Class.
Twenty-seven girls of Dr. Ida M. Hyde's college physiology class surprised the eight boys of the course by a practical demonstration of their ability to make bread this afternoon in the Medic lecture room. Miss Leona Stubbs, daughter of the next governor, was present at the spread and brought two loaves of her famous salt rising bread. Tea and sandwiches made of the bread were served. This morning three of the girls designated by the class were busy at home worrying over the precious loaves of wheat, rye, graham, and other grades of bread. The task was well done. The boys are enthusiastic in their praise of the food that was served. The girls demonstrated the fact that they are really learning something of practical value at the University of Kansas. The idea is part of Dr. Hyde's course in hygiene and sanitation that she originated in this school. No such course exists in any other university.
Yesterday afternoon the class visited the Bowersock Mill and saw the process of making different grade of flour. When they returned to the hill they found Professor W. C. Stevens of the Botany department, dressed as a chef and ready to give them an example of bread making. He went through the process of mixing it and preparing it for the oven. The bread was baked this morning and served at the luncheon.
Strong Goes to Washington.
Chancellor Strong will leave Lawrence Saturday for Washington, D. C., where he will attend the meeting of the National Association of state universities November 16th and 17th. Dr. Strong will give an address before the association on "The Problem of Higher Education in States That Maintain More Than One College."
Returns Down Town.
The returns from the Nebraska Kansas game will be flashed on a screen in the Aurora Nickle Saturday afternoon as the game is played. Minute reports will be received. Two University men and some down town parties are the managers. Ten cents admission will be charged.
