FOR MIND EXERCISE.
Prof. D. C. Rogers Explains His
Attitude Toward Recreation.
Prof. D, C. Rogers, of the department of psychology, spoke in chapel today, on "Attitudes Toward Play." Professor Rogers divided the attitudes toward play into three classes: opposition, indulgence and utilization.
"Mental health requires that the faculties of the mind not used in our daily work,be exercised,"said the professor," and skillfully directed play is a very important factor in our development. But we are now drawing away from the extreme idea held by our ancestors, that mere instinctive play is sufficient for an education.
"A college education alone, provides a very narrow form of mental development, and a broad education can only be obtained by participation in the various forms of play afforded by University life. In modern economic and sociologic conditions, permanent success depends on versatility gained by wisely directed play."
In closing Professor Rogers remarked that "play is a poor goal but a useful instrument."
GONE TO DUCK HEAVEN.
Miss Ransom's Pet Now Paddle in Elysian Puddles.
Miss Mabel Ransom's duck is dead—the duck that pinned for its mistress and was brought to Lawrence for its health. The encame the day the students departed for Kansas City to see the big game. The town was as still a country graveyard. If the duck remembered that just one year before Mr. Turkey failed to keep a date it gave no sign, and up to the fatal moment strutted in the same old brave way up and down Ohio street.
The doomed duck mounted the block with bravery only equaled by that of Marie Autoinette and Mary Queen of Scotts under similar circumstances. Not an eye lash quivered. Only when the bright blade fell was heard one agonized quack of protest at the injustice of it all.

FOUGHT TO A DRAW.
Undoubtedly one of the hardest or the secure of battles held in Kansas City on Thanksgiving day was fought there last Thursday by Kansas and Missouri. The result, a o to o tie, indicates the delitative strength of the two teams.
Twentieth Thanksgiving Battle a 5 to 5 Tie.
The Tigers showed their greatest strength in the first two quarters. In the last two Kansas came back, ticing a touchdown that had been made by Burress of Missouri in the second quarter. Ammons carried away the honors for the Jayhawkers. Both teams failed at goal when successful kicking would have meant victory.
Unless a radical change is made in the present Missouri Valley ruling last week's will be the last Thanksgiving day battle in Kansas City between the two schools. Also, it is the last season during which professional paid coaches will handle the teams. The place of playing next year's game has not yet been decided upon. It will be either at Columbia, Mo., or Lawrence.

Resolved, That the closed shop should be prohibited.
Kansas Will Choose Subject of Colorado Debate.

Installed a Photometer.
Testing the candle-power of electric lamps by means of a photometer is to be a part of the laboratory work of the senior electrical engineer hereafter. The photometer has been installed in a dark room in the engineering building. The instrument is the best one of its kind obtainable and can be used for lights of any candle power. An attachment called a "flickerer" is also provided with the machine for testing colored lights. While this testing has been done on a small scale in the physics laboratory, this is the first machine of its kind the University has ever had.
A Correction.
Due to a misunderstanding Chancellor Strong has been misquoted as regards playing next year's football game with Missouri at Kansas City. In making the statement "I see no reason for a change," wrong construction was placed on his words. The Chancellor did not mean by that to give his sanction to the Missouri city as the location for the next yearly contest, but had in mind, rather, the ruling of the Conference made a year ago which requires that intercollegiate contests be held on college grounds. The error occurred in transmitting a 'phone message and consequently aws sent out in the press dispatches.
Being responsible for giving publicity to his statement, I submit this in explanation of the matter. FRANK MOTZ.
