LAWYERS HONOR DEAN J. W.GREEN
SIXTH ANNUAL LAW BAN.
QUET BEST EVER HELD.
Faculty, Students, Alumni and Supreme Court Judge Unite in Praise of the Dean.
"Never have I witnessed such tender reverence, devotion and honor extended to the dean of a school by its students as I have seen this evening. It is the most beautiful and lasting tribute that could be paid to any man."
This was the keynote of the brilliant response by Professor H. C. Hill of the law faculty to the toast, "The Final Tests," at the sixth annual law banquet Thursday evening at the Eldridge hotel.
Judge Clark A. Smith of the Kansas supreme court, spoke upon the great opportunity that lawyers of high character and learning have in a community. The lawyers, he said, are the trusted men, the givers of intelligence to all classes, no matter what the popular idea of the profession is.
After comparing the "Uncle Jimmy" day banquet, held under the shadow of Mount Oread and under the eaves of an historic University with the great celebration in honor of Commander Peary after his return from the North pole at old Bowdoin College, Professor Hill said: "Twenty-five years hence, to whom will the greater honor be given, to the man who found the path to the North pole, or to the man who discovered the pathway to the human heart!"
In paying tribute to Dean Green, he said. "Green hall is a great and lasting monument to his name and work, but a far greater monument is the love and admiration of these students and hundreds of men over this state whose minds are united tonight in saying, God bless our Uncle Jimmy."
Toastmaster H. Clay Marks introduced as the class speakers H. B. Burgess, Hal Harlan and Milton Baer, each of whom spoke upon questions of importance to his class and to the School of Law
J. D. Bowersock, Jr., of Kansas City, said that as long as governments existed there would be courts and consequently lawyers to represent the suitors. He was impressed by the great debt which the jurisprudence of the state owed to Dean Green.
Each of the members of the law faculty was called upon for short speeches. Each toast was filled with praise of the Dean of the School of Law. "An association with him is a step up into the spiritual world, a man whose life and influence governs us all, whose gentle influence and upright character has been beneficial to us all," was the united sentiment.
In a few words, Dean Green thanked the speakers and students for the words of praise that had been bestowed upon him. He said, "I feel that a greater responsibility is resting upon my shoulders tonight than ever before." If the lawyers are to be the balance wheel, the salvation of the people and I have such a part in the moulding of their careers, then indeed it is a great load that I carry, almost too heavy."
Invitations have been received by many of the students of the University to the wedding of Miss Anna Troutman, and Mr. Warwick Updegraff, both of Topeka, on November 17. Miss Troutman is a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. Mr. and Mrs. Updegraff will reside in Topeka.
The defening roar of "What's the matter with Uncle Jimmy," closed the most successful law banquet ever held in honor of the dean.
FIVE HUNDRED ATTEND THE "FEED'
Y. M. C. A. ANNUAL STAG A GREAT SUCCESS.
Chancellor Strong Addressed Those Present-Donald Martindell Spoke for Y. M.
The Chancellor was followed by Donald Martindell, who spoke briefly for the Y. M. He told of the work of the organization and stated that the Regents of the University have this year given the Y. M. $600, with which to carry on its work. The students expect to raise something more than $900 to add to the fund.
After the lunch Chancellor Strong gave a short address in which he praised the work being done constantly among the student body by the Y. M. C. A. He told of "feeds" held in former years and compared last night's with them, declaring that the increase in its size over the former ones showed a marked growth and health of the society itself.
Five hundred University men attended the annual Y. M. C.A. "feed" at the Robinson gymnasium last night. There were members of the Y.M., faculty men, and students from every class in the school. From every standpoint the entertainment is pronounced probably the most successful ever held.
The lunch was served promptly at 6:30. Besides sandwiches, coffee, and other good things, there was a mountain of pumpkin pie to greet those who attended. And, as one student described it, there was a sea of cider, also.
The "feed" was adjourned at 7:30, and the majority of those present attended the college "sing."
PLAYED SOCCER TODAY.
Sophomores and Freshmen Have Fifty-Minute Session.
The first game of soccer football on McCook field was played this morning at 9 o'clock by the freshmen and sophomores of the University. The freshmen were defeated by the score of 7 to 2. During the fifty-minute session the second year men succeeded in keeping the ball in the "freshies" territory the greater part of the time. The teamwork displayed by the men of "13" was the cause of much comment upon the part of the spectators.
Hite and Allison played a star game for the sophomores, while Zimmerman of the freshmen proved to be the find of the season.
Instructor Root had charge of the game and was well pleased with the showing of the men.
K. U. WITH UMBRELLAS.
New Scheme Planned at "Sing"
Last Night.
One of the most enthusiastic college "sings" of the year was held in Fraser hall last night. Dr.J. N. Van der Vries gave a rousing talk on the spirit of "old K.U." and told of the things that could be accomplished by noise from the bleachers. Following, Registrar George Foster told of seeing Kansas in action on the gridiron 152 times during the last nineteen years. "I have seen the Kansas team defeat Illinois, and Michigan, and have her eyes turned to Yale," said Mr. Foster, "but the financial backing for the game against the 'Blue' team was not forthcoming.
"In every instance," continued Mr. Foster, "the men of K. U. have backed their team in great fashion. This backing which the team has received has been the chief cause of its winning."
Remarkable Time Was Made for Gymnasium Pool.
Beginning with today's game Ralph Spotts will put into practice his scheme of making the letters. K. U. in the bleachers with crimson and blue umbrellas. The men with the umbrellas will be given places in the bleachers so that when the game begins and the umbrellas are opened the letters K. U. will be flashed from the stand in Kansas colors. If this plan works today it will be used at the Nebraska and Missouri games.
BROKE SWIMMING RECORD.
Another University record was established yesterday when Eugene W. Davis swam 100 feet, the length of the pool in Robinson gymnasium and back, in 21.1. Before this, although there has been no exact record kept, the feat has never before been equaled, and Dr. James Naismith, who has charge of that branch of athletics, says that it is remarkable time for the pool.
That makes the outlook for the University swimming team look much brighter and at the final tryout to be held in a few days, Dr. Naismith expects to find a great deal more good material. The team will be organized to hold contests with other similar teams in the Missouri valley. Inter-class contests will also be held in the near future.
The regular meeting of the Men's Student Council will be held in Room 110, Fraser hall, Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock. A full attendance of all members is requested.
Student Council Meets.
KANSAS 21; WASHBURN 6
PLAY WAS KEPT IN WASHBURN TERRITORY TILL LAST MINUTES OF GAME.
Hardy, Washburn's Negro Halfback, Ran 70 Yards at End of Game, Making Washburn's Only Score. Kansas Team Showed Improvement on Offense.
Hopelessly outclassed by Coach Kennedy's men, the Washburn team was defeated on McCook field this afternoon by the score of 21 to 6. A 70-yard run by Hardy, the negro half back, saved the blue from a shut-out.
The Kansas backs showed a ten- lenency to fumble in the first half out later in the game this troule disappeared. The scores in the opening session were made by old style football, end runs, and ine bucks.
In the first half the Jayhawkers showed a better offense than in any game previously played on McCook field this year. The expected strength of the Washburn team was not shown, except in a spurt in the last few minutes of play.
The second half was a series of penalties, each team drawing five. The majority of these were for rough play. Kansas' forward pass began to be successful in this half. Three times the play made substantial gains for the Jayhawkers. Washburn did not make first down during the first three quarters.
Hardy was clearly the Washburn star. Baird, one of the Kansas comers, played a great gamitt guard. Heil, Johnson, Wilhelm and Ammons played with their usual consistency.

Just before the play which carried the ball over the line, Johnston of Washburn slugged Davidson in the eye and was put out of the game. Coach Stewart went out on the field and insulted Referee Thompson and attempted to slap Capt. Johnson's face. The officials ordered Stewart off the field and Manager Lansdon escorted him outside the wire enclosure.
Coach Stewart when seen at the end of the quarter, said his actions had been misinterpreted by the officials; that he was merely going to illustrate on Referee Thompson what Johnston had done to Davidson, and the referee had thought he was being attacked.
