THE UNIVERSITY KANSAN.
NUMBER 25
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1910
VOLUME VII
K. U. WON BY TWO POINTS
Oklahoma Held Jayhawkers to a Tie Until Near the End of Fourth Quarter.
Wood, Who Recovered a Kansas Forward Pass, Was Downed Back of His Own Goal, Scoring a Safety-Jayhawker Goal Was Never In Serious Danger Though Oklahoma Charged Harder-Forward Passes and Drop Kicks Failed-Rooters Celebrate Team's Success in Holding Kansas.
Coach Mosse's proteges nosed past Bennie Owens' battling Sooners in the last quarter at Colcord Park, at Oklahoma City this afternoon when a Jayhawker player downed Wood with the ball back of the Oklahoma line and scored two points for Kansas on a safety. A forward pass, Johnson to Price, was not completed. Wood recovered the ball, but was downed back of the line, leaving the final score 2 to 0.
The Sooner goal was threatened repeatedly by Kansas players, but the Jayhawkers did not develop sufficient superiority to push the oval over. Several tries for field goal failed.
In the first two quarters the Oklahoma line was superior to the Kansas line in charging, making gains with great regularity. Fumbling was frequent and the failure of the forward pass caused much loss of ground for both teams. Mosse expressed the opinion at the end of the half that Kansas could wear their opponents out in the second half.
Overjoyed by the success of their team in holding the Jayhawkers during two sessions, the Oklahoma rooters, despite the protests of the police, swarmed out on the field and did the snake dance. The rooters formed a circle on the gridiron and threw away their hats.

The Law School Takes a Shot at Dramatics.
Everyone takes a "shot" at dramatics, laterly. It is the law faculty this time and the question is asked: "Who's next."
At a meeting this morning of the five members of the law faculty a ruling was made which excludes all freshmen laws from participating in University dramatics. The ruling as drawn up is as follows:
"No member of the Law School in his first year's attendance at the University shall take part in any dramatics. Provided, however, that this rule shall not apply to those students of the Law School who at this date have been permitted by the University eligibility committee to engage in current dramatics." The "provided, however" clause of the ruling was due to a passionate appeal by France Wilson, manager of the Masque club, for the men who have parts in the "Dictator," which will be presented soon. It was only after long deliberation, however, that the faculty considered Mr. Wilson's plea.
WILL CARRY CANES
Senior Laws Will Make Their Debut With Fancy Walking Sticks November 18.
Beginning with Friday, November 18, the members of the senior class in the School of Law, will come out with canes. A supply of walking sticks of uniform style have been ordered by a committee appointed by the class at a meeting to discuss the subject during chapel hour last Tuesday. The intention of the men was to have the canes for Friday, November 11, but the shipment was unavoidably detained so their debut was postponed until the next Friday.
It is believed that Prof. H, C. Hill of the School of Law started the movement for the canes among the students, since he comes from a school in the East where it is very common for the upper classes to carry these little aids to walking. It is said that at the University of Missouri they are popular. When the senior laws come out with their canes next Friday they will introduce a custom altogether original at the University, which may become in time as honored as the wearing of freshman caps.

THE SENIORS WON.
Junior Gladiators Lost in a 16 to 0 Game.
---
By a score of 16 to o the seniors defeated the juniors in the first of the inter-class football series this morning on McCook. With an exception of a few minutes in the last quarter the seniors had the ball in the junior territory. At that time the juniors took a spurt and by two well executed forward passes carried the ball into senior territory. Cannon and Davenport for the juniors and Plank, Pettit, Riney and Smith for the seniors were the best ground gainers.
The juniors' handicap was their lack of practice.
CHANCELLOR ASKS
$1,211,415 GRANT
TO RUN UNIVERSITY FOR NEXT BENNIUM.
Budget Submitted to State Auditor Itemizes Needs of K. U. for Next Two Years.
In the budget of the University for the biennium of 1911-13, submitted to the auditor of state today, Chancellor Strong asks that the state of Kansas appropriate $1,211,315 for the support and extension of the University for the next two years. This amount shows an increase of $229,056 over the amount granted by the legislature for 1999-11. However, the total increase asked for this biennium is less than that asked for the biennium of 1999-11 by § 369.
For general maintenance, $44,170 is asked for the two years, $460,020 for 1911-12 and $477,550 for 1912-13.
Special appropriations for up-keep of plant, new apparatus, campus improvements and repairs are asked for to the amount of $135.245.
NEW BUILDINGS ASKED FOR.
In the way of new buildings, appropriations are asked for the following:
Hospital buildings, $100,000.
Administration building, $42,500.
For Girls' dormitory, $75,000.
Botanical garden and building, $7,500.
Clay working laboratory, $7,500.
The total amount asked for buildings is $224,500.
The largest increase in appropriations asked for is in the department of University extension and the School of Medicine. Sums are asked for to develop the departments of journalism, education, and home economics.
In a general way, the budget provides for the expansion to a greater or less degree of the work in all departments of the University. It also contains an appeal for increase in the salaries of the instructional force. The increased cost of living is set forth as the main argument for the increase in salaries.
PER CAPITA COST IS LOW.
On the basis of the University's request for maintenance, Chancellor Strong estimates the per capita cost of the University at about $175 for the first year of the biemium and $165 for the second. "Compared with most other institutions of our rank in the United States, the cost is low—too low to enable us to compete on even terms with them in efficiency," says the report.
The Chancellor states in the report that he has cut the budget down to the lowest possible amount and that any further diminution of it will seriously hurt the University.
The Chancellor's recommendations to the auditor, together with his comments and discussions on the various items of the budget, fill thirty-six large type-written pages.
The report states that on account of its having been prepared so far in advance, slight changes in some of the items may be advisable by the time the legislature meets.
