NINTH SOONER GAME
Oklahoma Has Scored Twice on Kansas For Nine Points But Have Never Won.
When Bennie Owen and his fighting Soomers trot out on Me
Owen and his trot out on MeCook Field, Saturday, Oklahoma will try for the ninth time to defeat the Jayhawker on the gridiron. In the eight games played by the two schools Kansas has won every game and the Sooners have only been able to score in two of these games. This does not signify that the Owen aggrega-
Ross, R. G.
tion is weak and their 14 to 6 victory over the Tigers last Saturday marks them as a dangerous
urdry marks them as a team for Sherwin's men. To defeat Kansas is the one ambition of Owen and Oklahoma and it appears that they will make a strong fight to do it Saturday.
The following is the results of the Kansas-Oklahoma games :

Crawford and Allison starred for the K. U. game. At Wichita Root's men had an easy time, winning by a score of 2 to 1.

WILL HAVE SECTION AT THE MOSSOURI GAME
Owens Coach
Tickets to be Given Out at Chapel Tomorrow—No Mass Meeting This Week.
The famous Jayhawker "Fighting Five Hundred" that was organized last year by Cheer leader Spotts will be revived this year and will be in evidence at the Missouri game. This morning Coach Hamilton stated that it was possible to secure five hundred seats on the 55 yard line for this body and that if immediate action was taken he would hold the seats for the men.
Tomorrow morning at chapel time cheer leader Dolde will give out tickets to all the men who signify a desire to purchase tickets with the "Five Hundred." All that is required tomorrow is that the men show how many tickets are needed. No money will be exacted and the tickets for the game may be purchased any time before the manager goes to Missouri.
Last year the work of the "Five Hundred" in the Thanksgiving game was the talk of the Missouri valley and it is hoped that as many as secured seats last year will speak for them tomorrow. No seats in this section will be sold to the girls and will be confined to University men.
There will be no mass meeting tomorrow night. It was started this morning that there will be no demonstration tomorrow except that which is spontaneous with the student body. The cheer leader is working up some new stunts for the Nebraska game and these will be tried at the monster mass meeting to be held after chapel before the Nebraska game. By that time the committee will have selected the football song from among those that have been submitted and these will be tried.

UNION FUND STARTS
Council Has Outlined Plans For Students to Solicit Subscriptions at Home.
At a meeting of the Men's Student Council Tuesday, a plan was adopted to begin the campaign for funds to erect a Students' Union Building.
Ed. Van Houten, chairman of the committee which had been appointed to devise a scheme to initiate the campaign, presented his plan. It provides that students take a number of slips in the form of promissory notes with them when they go home during the Christmas holidays and solicit subscriptions from the business men of the state. The pledge would be made payable to E. E. Brown, Secretary and Purchasing Agent of the University, although a memorandum of the amount would be returned to the Men's Student Council.
The Council adopted the plan as outlined above and the slips will be printed immediately. Members of the Council will present the matter to the students in the near future and they hope that a large amount of money may be raised in this way.
The building which the Student Council is planning to erect will cost between $100,000 and $150,
000. It will contain a lounging room, billiard and pool halls barber shop, reading room and rooms for meeting of student organizations. The basement will contain a large dining hall and the third floor will be a large bay for the use of student parties. Apartments for the use of visiting athletic teams will also be provided.

SCRIMMAGE SHOWS FIGHTING SPIRIT
FRESHMEN POWERLESS BEFORE VARSITY OFFENSE
Sherwin Optimistic Over Last Night's Practice — Light Work Now Until Game
Change of Line-up.
The radical changes in the varsity lineup which surprised the followers of the Jayhawkers were evidently for the best. Last night the freshmen suffered in the scrimmage practice. The regulars were given the ball in the center of the field four times and each time they carried the oval over for a touchdown. The line held and the backs charged against the struggling freshmen, who tried their best to stop the attack. On defensive work the varsity also showed much improvement.
"Hank" Ahrens is back at his old position at center and Weidline has been shifted to guard. The lineup against the Okla-
Ben Davis, Half Back.
homans Saturday probably will be Ahrens, center, Bramwell and Weidline, guards, Davidson and Baird, takles, Brownlee and Delaney, ends, Heil quarter, "Tod" Woodbury and Coolidge, halfs, and Ammons, fullback.
Fighting Blood up.
The "pep" shown by the men in last night's practice pleased Coach Sherwin and he wore a sat- isified smile after the workout.
"It was the best practice that we have had for some time," smiled the mentor as he walked to his dressing room.
Last night's serimimage finished up the hard work for the week. A long secret signal drill will be the order for this afternoon and after dinner another signal practice will be held in the gym. Tomorrow the work will be light, and the team will be given a rest for the game with the Sooners.
There is much confidence in the Jayhawk camp that the team from Oklahoma will be put down. The Jayhawks have three more games to fight for and their work last night indicates that the fighting "blood" will be there. The Sooners are practicing with Missouri this week in an effort to be ready to trim Kansas.
The game Saturday will be a hard one but the supporters of Sherwin's team are not afraid of the result.
K. U. Dames to Meet.
The K. U. Dames society met yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at the home of Mrs. Roy Rankin, 935 Maine street. The wives of any of the students are invited, even though they are not members.
