ANNUAL RECEPTION WAS GREAT SUCCESS.
Dean And Mrs. Marvin Greeted 450 Guests Before the "Stunts" Began.
Dean Marvin's reception to the Engineers last night was the most successful event that has ever been given in the Engineering school. Dean and Mrs. Marvin, assisted by Chancellor and Mrs. Strong received 450 guests during the course of the evening. These included the students and members of the faculty of the Engineering school with their wives
The reception, which was held in the chapel of the Engineering building, lasted until half-past 9. Refreshments were served in the Dean's office during this time, and the engineers' glee club sang a few selections.
The program for the evening started at nine-thirty. It was opend with a song by the glee club. This was followed by a farce comedy entitled "Eh, What is it?" The members of the cast were picked from the Engi-neering school as a whole and included Volny Hilford, John Musselman, William Lauterbach, Murray Conley and Arthur Duncan.
Specialty stunts were then put on by the different societies in the school. These were introduced by a lantern slide picture of the society's pin thrown on a screen just before each society's stunt. The Civils were represented by George Dunn, who gave a contortionist act. Heinbach and Coats performed for the Miners. They put on a comedian and circus barker stunt. The Chemicals followed with John Musselman in a vaudeville act all his own "Wu Lum's Chinese Laundry" was the title to the Mechanicals act, which was next on the program. By means of a large washing tub the phenomenon of cleaning a person's clothes while they were still on the owner was readily demonstrated. Volney Hilford, Murray Conley, Lewis Kneer and Howard Newby were the principal actors. The Electricals, as last on the program, threw lantern slide cartoons on a screen depicting "take off" on the members of the faculty and prominent students of the school.

By order of committee.
By scoring three points on a place kick by Captain Capshaw, Oklahoma defeated Kansas today on McCook field. In a blizzard that made good playing almost impossible, the men of Bennie Owens up up a wonderful game and with a speedy and shifty attack held the Jayhawkers scored less.
The Kansas line played an erratic game and at times the Sooners plowed through it for big gains. The Kansas back field appeared to be unable to make any gains through the Oklahomaans. With a high wind blowing from the north consistent punting was impossible and time and again the lines of rd and blue and red and white surged over the ice field. Four times Delaney was called back of the line in an attempt to drop kick a goal but every time he failed. Three times did Capshaw try for place kick goal and it was his one successful effort that brought victory to the Sooners.
Sobers.
Long end runs and terrific line plunging by Capshaw, Courtright, and Roads characterized the Oklahoma offense. The Kansas team played an erratic game. At times they charged the Oklahomaans and were able to march within a few feet of the goal when they were stopped.
they were stopped. The forward pass figured but slightly in the game. This was du to the extreme cold and the high wind which made accurate
handling of the ball almost impossible.
Kansas attempted seven onside kicks and was successful in one for a 20 yard gain.
Coach Sherwin when approached after the game said, "I have absolutely nothing to say," Bennie Owens, the former Jayhawkier quarterback has achieved the great ambition of his life. In their ninth annual struggle his Sooners have defeated for the first time the team of his Alma Mater.
Owing to the extraordinary weather conditions under which the game was played it is impossible to form an opinion as to the playing of both the teams.
Driving snow and sleet fell throughout most of the game and a more unsuitable day for football could not be imagined. Oklahoma played consistent football and with their speed were able to keep the ball out of danger. Captain Capshaw played a wonderful game at right half and on th offense and defense was in the center of every play.
At 2:45 Ahrens kicked off to Capshaw on the Oklahoma 25 yard line, who returned 5 yards. By a series of brilliant end runs by Capshaw, the Sooners advanced the ball to the Kansas 14 yard line where Capshaw place kicked a goal. Score, Oklahoma, 3; Kansas, 0. The goal was made in the first two minutes of play.
First Quarter.
the Oklahoma 20 yard line. Here the Sooners attempted two forward passes but both were intercepted. The Kansas line showed signs of weakness, and time and again the light Oklahomaans tore through for long gaas.
By a series of punts and end runs the ball was advanced to the Kansas seven yard line, but here the line strengthened and the Sooners were unable to gain. The ball see-sawed across the field, being mostly in Kansas territory, but at critical moments the Jay-hawkers braced and Oklahoma was kept from scoring.
Capshaw attempted another place kick from the Kansas eleven yard line, but the high wind carried it wide. The quarter ended with the ball in Kansas' possession on her own 51 yard line. The intense cold and the blinding wind caused considerable fumbling of the ball.
Second Quarter.
With the ball on her own 51 yard line, Kansas attempted to gain through the Sooner line, but found it a stone wall. Delaney then punted to the Oklahoma five yard line and Naun returned ten yards. Here Capshaw punted to the 55 yard line, and immediately Delaney punted to the Oklahoma ten yard line where mons recovered. Delaney then tried for a field goal but it vent wide.

To The Men Students of the University:
Such demonstrations as took place Friday morning will not be tolerated by the Men's Student Council.
A mass meeting, in order to be recognized in such, must be called by either the President of The Student Council or the cheer leader. The demonstration on Friday morning was decidedly unofficial, not having the sanction of either of these men. It originated in a small group of law students who did not stop to consider the interests of the student body.
The Men's Student Council has been trying for the past year to obtain control of student discipline. The faculty now have this matter under consideration and any demonstrations of the above character will greatly influence their decision.
The Student Council will reprimand the leaders, and will see to it that such demonstrations will not occur again. The student body is requested to cooperate with us and not take part in unofficial gatherings on the campus.
The Student Council hopes that the student body will see the evil of such actions and will see to it that they do not occur again.

GOT MIAMI'S GOAT
Johnson County Wins Polysyl labic Meet in Two Straight Falls—No Injuries.
In a short and snappy contest Johnson County last night successfully defended its claim to the State Spelling Championship, by putting Miami safely away in two straight falls. The first match, however, was a tie, both sides being unable to arrange correctly the letters in the word "Cassiopeia."
The second heat went to Johnson in eleven minutes, and the third the same way in eight minutes. The winning word in the first bout was "precedure," it being the opinion of the challengers that the first "e" in the word should be doubled. "Rhythm" was the rock that wrecked the good ship Miami on the last voyage. This harmless-looking word was spelled a dozen ways, until it came to the last man on the Johnson side. Taking a long breath, he clenched his fists and inserted a bitherto disregarded "h" after the "r," and the day was won.
was won.
The Miami club was somewhat handicapped by the small number of spellers. The defenders outnumbered them about two to one, but generously donated several of their best spellers to Miami in order to make the contest more interesting.
After the championship match the freshmen and the upperclassmen opposed each other in a practice match. The freshmen won the first round and thereupon hurriedly broke up the match, amid the indignant howls of the outraged upperclassmen, who asserted they were "just hitting their stride."

THESPIANS CHOOSE DIRECTOR OF FARCE
WILL PRODUCE "THE GAY MR. THOMPKINS."
Miss Ida Kirk Will Hold Tryout For Members of Cast Next Week.
A faecial comedy, "The Gay Mr. Thompkins" will be the first University play to be presented in the New Bowersock opera house. The Thespians, whose play comes first this year, have decided on this production. Miss Ida Kirk, of Leavenworth, was chosen to direct the play.
With this play Miss Kirk will be formally introduced to the University. She is one of the best known dramatists in the state and was selected because of her ability to handle the peculiar type of play the Thespians have decided on. The faecial comedy is filled with laughable situations throughout and the fact that it is the first performance in the opera house should insure a large attendance by the students.
There has been no definite date set for the presentation of "The Gay Mr. Thompson's" as it is not known when the opera house will be completed. It is probable that the play will be given during December or immediately after the Christmas holidays. Miss Kirk will hold a tryout of the club members for the play some time next week and The Thespians will start practice immediately.

PHOID VACCINATION
FOOTBALL BY WIRELESS
Students May Receive Treatment Between Three and Six O'clock Thursday Afternoon.
At the request of Dr. Crumbine, Prof. Boughton has sent a sufficient quantity of this serum to the State Normal at Emporia to vaccinate forty students. At Emporia the matter will be placed in the hands of the local physicians and the students who receive the treatment will be charged one dollar for each inoculation.
Last Thursday twenty students were given their first vaccination against typhoid fever. This increase is due to the recent scare and makes the total number of those who have received the vaccination one hundred and twelve. Professor Boughton of the bacteriological department, who is administering the serum, requests that all those desiring the treatment report to him between three and six o'clock any Thursday afternoon.
Kansas City Newspaper Had Bulletin Story.
The story of the Oklahoma-Kansas game was told by wireless today from a station built by Harry Siegfried, of Burlington, Kas., a sophomore in the School of Engineering. Siegfried made arrangements with Alston McCarty, the University correspondent for the Kansas City Post, to carry a running story of the game.
McCarty telephoned the plays o Siegfried, who in turn sent them over the wireless to Paul Keplinger, who has a wireless station in Kansas City, Kas. Keplinger phoned the reports to the Post and the game was told by bulletins in the windows of the newspaper office.
Siegfried's station is one of the most successful in this part of the country. His wireless has a capacity of there kilowatts as against 2 kilowatts by the government machines. When Siegfried is sending a message the government cannot use their stations.
