This evening on McCook the Jayhawkers went through their final practice and scrimmage in preparation for the Iowa game Saturday. The loyal rooters had their last opportunity to see the wonderful team at work in Lawrence. Tomorrow the veterans go into the land of the enemy not to return until they have met Iowa and Missouri and decided the championship of the Missouri Valley.
The knights of the red and blue will not return home until all the battles have been fought. Kennedy and Mosse are keeping still about the quarters for next week. Several places are possible. The team may go to William Jewell where Coach Brummage would entertain. It might go to Ames, stay at Iowa or go to Omaha. Another possibility is Mosse's farm near Leavenworth.
Iowa is the only "Big Eight" school on the schedule this year. Years ago the Jayhawkers and Hawkeyes were honorable enemies but for eleven years the two schools have had no football relations. In '97 Coach Kennedy was captain for Kansas and that year his team gave Iowa a trouncing which has lasted eleven years. When the score was added up the school of the north was found the loser 56 to 0.
Since that ancient battle Iowa

STOLENOSIGNALS
KANSAS HAD NO USE FOR THEM, SAYS KENNEDY.
Story Had Its Origin in Nebraska's Inability To Take Defeat
Gracefully.
"Coach Kennedy: Cooke, Nebraska's quarter-back, says Kansas players knew some of his signals. Please wire me the truth.-C. Sherman."
Thus reads the telegram sent to Kennedy by C. Sherman, K.C.Journal correspondent at Lincoln,Nebraska. This message and a dozen different stories in newspapers of the state started the stolen signal story on its way to prominence. Kennedy answered in the following: "Cooke absolutely wrong. Kansas outplayed Nebraska at every point from start to finish. The Kansas players did not know a single Nebraska signal. We did not need them.-(Signed,) A.R.Kennedy, Coach."
After coming out of her trance, Nebraska made desperate efforts to discredit the great victory of the Kansan eleven last Saturday. The wails sent from there however are received by the intelligent public only with smiles. The stolen signal concoction is simply a poor attempt to soothe the injured feelings resulting from a decisive defeat.
K. U. MAN GETS FELLOWSHIP.
Hemenway Prize of Harvard to Ray E. Merwin of Lawrence.
The Harvard university corporation has announced the award of the Hemenway fellowship for the present college year to Raymond E. Merwin of Lawrence, Kansas. This fellowship carries with it $500, as secondary aid for pursuing advanced studies. Mr. Merwin is in his third year in the graduate school of arts and sciences at Harvard, and his special line of study is anthropology.
Mr. Merwin is a graduate of the University of Kansas, class 1903, with the degree of A.B., and he also secured his degree of A.M., at the same university in the following year.
Misses Margaret Forde and Helen Thompson, of Emporia, will be the guests of the Thetas tomorrow. They will attend the Beta Turkey Pull tomorrow evening.
The Martin club will give a dance at the I. O. O.F. hall Saturday evening.
CAMPAIGN FOR MILL TAX PLAN
TO BEGIN IN THIS YEAR'S LEGISLATURE.
Proposed Plan Works Well in Iowa-Will Help University and Save Money For State.
To relieve the University of the handicap of being unable to make plans for more than two years in the future and to insure a more economical use of funds at the disposal of the University through the inauguration of the mill tax system for University support is the object of a campaign which will be waged before the legislature at Topeka this winter. An amendment to the constitution will be necessary before the new plan can go into effect, and the aid of the alumni in the legislature, of whom there will be a goodly number in the next session, will be enlisted in the movement to get the needs of the University before the people.
The mill tax system has been in force for some time at Iowa University and the agricultural college at Ames. It has been proved that under the new plan a given amount of money goes farther than under the old system, as more intelligent plans can be laid and a certain amount of waste inevitable at present is avoided.
FIRST GLEE CLUB CONCERT.
Will be Given as a Number of Tonganoxie Lecture Course.
The first concert of the Glee Club will be given at Tonganoxie Monday evening, November 23. This concert will be one of the attractions of the Tonganoxie high school lecture course.
On December 3 and 4 the Club will give the winter concert at the University. The organization this year is considered the strongest in the history of musical clubs in this school. The out of town dates have not been definitely decided. The Club will appear at Leavenworth and Hiawatha on December 11 and 12.

W. W. McCanles, who was recently elected county attorney on the Democratic ticket in Lincoln against a normal Republican vote, is visiting with his brother J. C. McCanles, leader of the University band.
The Phi Psis will give a party at A.A.Friday evening.
FOR IOWA GAME
THE KANSAN WILL TELL PROGRESS OF COMING STRUGGLE
The Band Will Play and All the Atmosphere of a Real Gridiron Contest Will Be There.
The Kansan bulletins made such a distinct hit last week that the Board decided to repeat the service Saturday. A special reporter will be sent to Iowa City.
The reports of the game will be announced in the chapel in Fraser hall. The K. U. band will play. As the expenses of the undertaking will be heavy an admission of ten cents will be charged. To remove all appearance of graft, the Kansas will give every cent above expenses to the University hospital association. The experiment will be tried to see if the students care for a live newspaper. If the effort is appreciated, more extensive ones will be made in the future. The game will probably begin at 2:30.
