Collins (Nebraska) ...Center

Coach Bert Kennedy, at the request of The Kansan, has picked an all-Missouri Valley football team. The Kansas coach has limited his choice of men to the Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri teams. He did not see the Ames and Iowa teams in action this year, and for that reason chose no players from those teams, though he thinks that Hyland of Iowa would have no difficulty in making an allMissouri Valley team if his playing this season equaled his performance at end last season. Kennedy has chosen his team with a view to picking the men who have done the best playing in the season just closed.
Ammons of Kansas was chosen for left end over Chauner of Nebraska and Idler of Missouri, because of his all-around qualities. This year the Kansas coaches placed a double burden on him, playing him in the line and backfield. He scored the winning touchdowns for Kansas in the Drake and Missouri games.
Nebraska and Kansas Get Four Places Each and Missouri Three on the Eleven.
Shonka of Nebraska, left end is, in the opinion of Kennedy, the superior of any tackle in the Missouri Valley and would have no difficulty in making any team in the country.
Davidson of Kansas is awarded the left guard position for aggressive and consistent playing, having been one of the towers of strength in the Kansas line. Both Missouri and Nebraska played two men in this position during the season, showing that they had not been fully satisfied with their men.
Collins of Nebraska is easily the best center in the Valley, and the greatest defensive general in the West. "He is to the defense what the quarterback is to the offense," said Kennedy. Collins is one Nebraska man who admitted to Coach Kennedy that he would have given Kansas a touchdown in the Nebraska game, but the coach insists that this fact had nothing to do with his choice of Missouri Valley center.
Thatcher of Missouri gets the right guard position. Baird of Kansas.a first year man,developed splendidly this year, lacking but one thing—experience.
The right tackle position lies between Temple of Nebraska and Smith of Kansas. Temple has the greater experience, and outlassees Smith in carrying the ball. As a defensive player, Smith is the equal is not the superior of Temple.
From a number of candidates for right end, Lynch and Price of Kansas, Burress of Missouri, Wilson of Washington, and Hyland of Iowa. Burress was chosen
"He's my style of end," says Ken nedy.
Johnson of Kansas, on account of his experience, versatility and air around ability, is given the quarterback position, a made captain and field generals of the team.
For left half, Owen - Frank of Nebraska is far ahead of all others in experience and skill. Knobel and LeMire of Missouri and Woodbury and Kabler of Kansas are new men of splendid possibilities.
The right half position goes to "retie" Heil. He handled the position successfully in the big game of the seasonand is a wizard at for ward passing and field punts. It is a curious fact that on the three big teams of the valley this position was played by two men on each squad, Curtiss and Hall for Missouri,Frank and Minor for Nebraska, and Johnson and Heil for Kansas.
The fullback position goes to Hackney, who is fully qualified by kicking ability and experience
DICTATOR IS READY
The Masque Club Will Presen Its Fourteenth Production. Two Evenings.
The Masque club will present at the Bowersock opera house or tomorrow and Thursday evenings, its fourteenth production, "The Dictator." Up to this year the club has presented two plays each year. A new ruling, however, makes "The Dictator" the only production for 1910 and 1911. The club has made an effort to work out a highly satisfactory piece of amateur dramatics and the indications so far are that they have succeeded.
"The Dictator" was selected because of its admirable qualities for amateur actors. It is a play with absorbing interest and striking scenic effects. The management has made arrangements for special costumes and scenery and, on the whole, has gone to considerable expense in staging the production.
The play is under the direction of Miss Gertrude Mossler, head of the department of expression who has directed many Masque club productions. The manager is Mr. France Wilson. The cast includes both members of the Masque and others. Tickets were placed on sale yesterday.
Last Friday Prof. C. G. Dunlap spoke before a confederation of women's clubs at Horton.
Professor F. W. Blackmar has gone to Beloit, where he will address the state Conference of Charities this evening.
A meeting of the constitutional committee of the Sigma Xi scientific society has been called for Thursday, Dec. 1. At this meeting the report of Dr. C. E. MeClung, who attended the annual meeting in Detroit some time ago will be discussed. It is expected that the constitution of the society will be changed somewhat.

FOOTBALL BANQUET FRIDAY EVENING
THIRD ANNUAL TO BE HELD IN THE GYMNASIUM.
Will Be Under the Management of the Y. M. C. A.—An Excellent Program Prepared.
The third annual football banquet which will be given next Friday night in Robinson gymnasium, will eclipse all previous football banquets if the plans of the Y. M. C. A., which society is managing the affair, get the proper support. More money will be put into the "eats" than before and a galaxy of after-dinner speakers has been secured to respond to toasts.
The football banquet, like the athletic events, is an event open to the whole University. For this reason the Student Council and the athletic board have strongly urged the Y. M. C. A. to undertake the financing of the banquet this year. The Y. M. C. A. is the only organization that could manage such an affair successfully, and it has been turned over to the members of that organization.The first year such a banquet was given, the association lost money,and last year there was no balance. It is not the intention to make any money on the banquet this year.
The Chancellor will act as toastmaster and "Uncle Jimmy" Green will award the "K's" at the close of the program.
The program is as follows:
J. C. Masker...New Rules
Arthur St. Leger Mosse..Tie Score
"Bert" Kennedy...New Material
"Mike" Lynch.The Last Quarter
Prof. H. C. Hill...An Old Tiger
"Tommy" Johnson...A Forward Pass
Ralph Spotts. The Fighting
Five Hundred
George Innes. Team Support
TO "YELLOW JOURNALISM."
"University Life" Departs From Usual Conservatism.
"University Life," the student publication of Friends University made a departure from its regular habits last week and issued a sensational "yellow journal." It is chiefly a burlesque on the accusations and exposures made some time ago by the Wichita Eagle in connection with the notorious Calahan gang and the city police department. Great scare heads printed on yellow paper accuse the principal professors of complicity in various plots, tell of mysterious disapexing occurrences connected with students.
WILL ELECT CAPTAIN.
The annual banquet given by Manager W. C. Lansdon to the members of the football squad will take place next Tuesday evening, December 6, in the Eldridge house. The captain for next year will, according to custom, be elected following the banquet. Ammons, Heil, and Lynch have been mentioned for the position.
Following Manager Lansdon's Feed to Football Men.
LAST FALL RECITAL
Will Be Given Thursday Night by Lilla Ormond, Soprano.
The last recital of the fall concert course will be given Thursday night in Fraser hall by Lilla Ormond, the Boston mezzo soprano. She is one of the most attractive singers in America and has had great success in singing with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, at the Worcester Festival, and at many concerts and private entertainments. Miss Ormond possesses a contralto voice of such wide range that, besides singing mezzo soprano with ease, it is well suited to both lyric and dramatic music.

Dr. M. A. Barber, professor of bacteriology and pathology at the University, has been invited by Dr. Richard P. Strong, director of the bureau of science of Manila, to spend two years in medical research in the Philippine Islands. Dr. Barber said today that he had decided to accept the offer and would ask for a leave of absence, probably at the next meeting of the Board of Regents. The leave will doubtless be granted.

Dr. Bushong Called to Greens burg for Hearing.
Dr. F. W. Bushong of the department of chemistry, left Sunday evening for Greensburg Kan., to be present at a preliminary hearing of the Buck cyanide case. Professor Bushong has just completed the analysis of the viscerae of Mrs. Buck and found that more sulpho-cyanide was present than there should have been.
Mrs. G. H. Buck, wife of Dr. G. H. Buck, a prominent physician of Greensburg, died suddenly a month ago. Two weeks later the body was exhumed and an autopsy was held. Dr. W. K Trimble of the School of Medicine at Rosedale, and Dr. H. J Jones of Hutchinson conducted the autopsy and it was found that death did not result from natural causes. Her parents became suspicious, the doctor was arrested an autopsy was held and finally the viscera was sent to the University for analysis.
Made Good Record.
At the Examination held by the Kansas State Medical Board last week in Kansas City, Kan., Charlotte Kaulbach, '10, received the highest grade. Of the sixty-five who took the examination, fifty-four passed. All the applicants from the University of Kansas Medical School, passed the examination.
Dr. Barber expects to finish the present school year at the University. He has not heard from the Manila Bureau of Science just when he will be expected to take up his work in the biological laboratory there. The position which he has been invited to fill is a government position, and calls for at least a two years' contract. Dr. A.W. Sellards, a graduate of the University of Kansas and Johns Hopkins, now holds a position in the Manila biological laboratory.
At the regular meeting of the Women Student Council, Thursday evening, the request of the Chancellor for recommendations regarding dramatics will be considered.
