NUMBER 29
KICKED 18 GOALS IN 19 ATTEMPTS
AHRENS MADE RECORD AT LEAVENWORTH.
Kennedy's Squad Preparing to Score in Kicking Game - Team in Best Condition of Year.
Eighteen field goals from placement successfully kicked from a total of nineteen tries was the record made by Ahrens on the athletic grounds of the Soldiers' Home in Leavenworth in yesterday afternoon's practice of the Kansas squad for the Missouri game. Ahrens's goals were not made from long distances, Kennedy said today, but his work is evidence that if the game is to be won by kicks, as many prophets have said, the Kansas team will be prepared to give an account of itself.
"We are prepared to kick if we get within kicking distance," said Coach Kennedy today over the 'phone to a reporter for The Kansan. "We are tightening up on practice. The squad was at work all yesterday afternoon. As to physical condition, the men were never in better shape. They are ready for fierce offensive work or they can stand any amount or punishment if that is necessary.
"The boys are not overconfident. They are going up against a hard proposition and they know it. But they have the spirit to fight harder than they have fought before this year, and they are in shape to do it."
Conach Kennedy was delighted to hear about the big demonstration by the rooters in Lawrence last night. "We'll do our best to give the boys something to how aboutnext Thursday," he laughed when told about the howling mob
Helping the Kansas coaches to round the team into final condition for the big struggle are Captain Hicks, '04; Crowell, '08; Pleasant, '09; Nat Foster of the '97 team, Tom Smith, 99, and Stan Myers, '08. Clyde Allphin, left tackle of the 1901 and 1902 teams came to Lawrence Sunday and will go to Leavenworth to be with the team before the start is made for Kansas City.

JAYHAWKER ENTHUSIASM BROKE FORTH LAST NIGHT IN WRITHING SNAKE=DANCE
The roll of the big bass drum, the rattle of the snares, and the cousing cry of "Oh me, Oh my, won't we black that Tiger's eye," from a dozen University students last night was the start of one of the most enthusiastic celebrations that have been held in the University for many days.
It was all spontaneous, nothing planned except to have the men show their attitude toward the Tiger game, and they showed it. It was "Down with Missouri!" As the parade wound up and down through the student district men joined in until the line was several blocks long. Bareheaded and in shirts sleeves, they came from rooming houses, or dressed in calling attire they left comfortable places on darkened verandas to join in the great outburst of Kansas spirit.
yelling students snaked-daned up and down Massachusetts streets, paying an occasional visit to favorite haunts. One man now in Lawrence who last year attended the University of Missouri was spied standing on the sidewalk. Without ceremony he was drafted into the writhing line. Gathering more and more recruits all the while the line went back to the rooming district.
As many as could crowded into the College Inn, where several speeches were made.
Headed by the drum corps, the
"I will expect you men to fight until the close of the game. I do not expect to give you a moment's rest. The team will be fighting. So must we," was the advice of the cheer leader.
Today there was a subdued feeling on the hill that something would break before another day, and it will, tonight. What it is, only a few men know. The time is this evening. When the K. U. student hears a noise tonight it is the signal to come out and join the crowd for the last evening preparation for the Tiger feast.
"We will have no parade in the morning because the rooters should have rest before the game as well as the team. Our parade will come after the game."
TRYOUT DECEMBER 3
Tomorrow morning will be the last yell and song practice before the game. The University band will be in chapel and the larger part of the meeting will be held there. There are a number of instructions that the cheer leader has for his men, especially the "Fighting Five Hundred," which is proving far too small for the number of men who wish to sit it. Other things will be doing which will necessitate the presence of every student.
Debaters in Two Squads Will Discuss the Oklahoma and Missouri Questions.
When the drums beat, beat it.
Get busy and get Missouri!
At a meeting of the sixteen debaters chosen at the last tryout yesterday afternoon, it was decided that two debates be held for the next tryout on December 3.
Eight of the men will debate the question, "Resolved. That a minimum wage legislation should be audited in the field of the sweated industries." The other eight will debate the question "Should the short ballot be adopted in all county, municipal and state elections."
At the tryout each man will be given six minutes for his main speech and three minutes for rebuttal.
Prof. J. W. Young, Prof. J. N Van der Vries, and Miss Hazel H. McGregor, of the department of mathematics, will attend the annual meeting of the Southwest section of the American Mathematical section in Lincoln, Neb., November 26. Professor Young will read a paper on "Fundamental regions of cyclical groups of linear fractional transformations on two complex variables." Prof. A. D. Pitcher will have a paper read.
In the last issue of the University Kansan in an article concerning the try-out for University debate, the name of Miss Theodosia Stewart was mentioned as the only woman contestant. The story should have said Miss Maybelle Stuart. Miss Stuart comes from Kremlin, Ok., and has had considerable experience in collegiate debating. It is her desire to make the team winch debates against Oklahoma.
Missouri has accepted the affirmative side of the question "Resolved, That a minimum wage legislation should be applied in the field of sweated industries,"which was submitted by Kansas.
The question to be submitted by Colorado probably will be received in a few days.

UP TO THE WOMEN
Chancellor Strong Asks Their Advice About Restrictions on University Dramatics.
It will not be known until after the Women's Student Government association holds a meeting just what rules will be made restricting University dramatics this year. The Chancellor some time ago sent a letter to the Men's Student Council requesting that they make a recommendation in regard to the matter, which the Council did. A similar request has been sent by the Chancellor to the Women's association and their action is being awaited before a formal ruling is made.
After the Men's Council had met and made its recommendations, some members of the Women's Association raised the objection that they should have a voice in the ruling, since women as well as men will be affected by it. They will now have a chance to draw up a recommendation setting forth their views of what should be done to restrict dramatics.
Inspected Chemistry Building.
Dr. G. B. Frankforter in company with Prof. E. H. Bailey, inpected the Chemistry building Saturday afternoon in order to enable him to get new ideas for the new $300,000.

NO TRAINING TABLE AT EITHER SCHOOL
CHANCELLOR  HAS  TELE-
GRAMS FROM K. U. AND.M. U
Heads of Both Institutions Declare the Diet Is not Furnished Football Players.
From Charles E. Bessey, acting chancellor of the University of Nebraska, "No training table here. About one-half of the boys do voluntarily get their meals at the same restaurant at their own expense, but no training table of any kind is provided by the athletic board or in any other manner."
In order to ascertain definitely the truth or falsity of the rumors that both Nebraska and Missouri were conducting training tables, Chancellor Frank Strong yesterday telegraphed the heads of those institutions. He received telegraphic answers this morning as follows.
From President A. Ross Hill of the University of Missouri: "No training table here. Most of the team men eat together, but pay own board entirely."
"I have no doubt whatever,but this is the exact condition in the two schools," said Chancellor Strong this morning. "This clears all rumor that there are training tables there and shows that both are observing the Missouri valley conference rules passed last year in Kansas City.
"There can be no objection surely, to the men paying their own board and eating where they choose, providing they are not being reimbursed, and I do not believe they are or the heads of these institutions would know of it. One thing is certain, the athletic boards at both schools are not furnishing training table diet for the players.
"Neither can I see any objection to our men eating an occasional meal at the Eldridge house, or some other place, providing they wish to pay for it themselves. And there is no harm in their occasionally accepting an invitation from a resident of the town to dine at his home."
