HOW THE BIG STORY WASTOLD
KANSAN HAD NEWS OF SAT- URDAY'- VICTORY.
Gave Bulletins to Crowded Chapel and Was First to Press With Complete Story of Game.
The Kansan last Saturday made a new record in the quick handling of news in Lawrence, when it gave out information of the Kansas-Nebraska game, play by play to an audience of more than a thousand students and alumni in the chapel, and got a complete story of the game into print and on the streets fifteen minutes ahead of the nearest competitor.
This speedy work would not have been possible except for the perfect wire service furnished by the Western Union Telegraph company. The Kansan had a special wire direct from the field at Lincoln to the Lawrence office. Over this line The Kansan's bulletins, numbering nearly 2,000 words, came without a moment's delay, and were flashed by telephone to the Kansan office on the hill.
At The Kansan office a large force of workers was necessary to perform the two-fold duty of preparing the bulletins for use in the chapel, and writing the news story which appeared in the columns of the Kansan twenty minutes after the last whistle blew in far-away Lincoln. As the members of the Kansan staff, who remained in Lawrence were too few to do all the work, a number of volunteers offered their services. Art Seddon took the messages off the telephone, making a carbon copy of every bulletin. One of the copies was carried by Earl Miller, Drew Ten Broeck and Lewis LaCoss to the chapel where the messages were written on lantern slides by Emile Grignard and Harry Taylor, to be flashed on the chapel screen. The lantern was operated by V. W. Miller.
The duplicate copy of the bulletins remained in the Kansan office and were used by Homer Berger, Ed Schauffler and Carl Cannon in writing the newspaper story. The managing editor wrote the "lead" paragraphs of the story and the headlines, read the proofs and kept the copy running smoothly out to the linotype machine, where it was set up as fast as received.
When the last bulletin had been received, there was no delay in locking up the forms of type and getting them on the press. The first printed copies were brought from the press room just as the whistle at Fowler shops was blowing for 5 o'clock.
The feature of having a running story of out-of-town football games was introduced into Lawrence by The Kansan last year. The idea has been taken up by all the papers of town. Last Saturday all the Lawrence dailies received bulletins from special correspondents at Lincoln, as the game progressed.

CELEBRATION FOR VICTORY
GREAT ENTHUSIASM SATUR DAY IN LAWRENCE.
Big Bonfires in North Park Satur day Night—Holiday After Chapel Yesterday.
Probably never before has such enthusiasm been shown by the student body of the University as was manifest during the several celebrations in connection with the victory over Nebraska. Practically every student who did not accompany the team to Lincoln turned out on Saturday afternoon and either in the chapel or down town watched the game played by means of the bulletin service which was furnished from the field at Lincoln.
Although several such reports had been received at the University from other games, the enthusiasm manifest at those times was not to be compared with that of last week. The student body literally awakened to the situation and had every student who rooted in Lawrence Saturday afternoon been able to transmit his enthusiasm to the gridiron at Lincoln, the Cornhuskers would have not have had any opportunity of even gaining possession of the ball at any point of the contest.
But the enthusiast did not cease after the game was over. The students only waited long enough for night to come when they might gather in the downtown districts and collect boxes which the merchants had donated for the purpose of building the biggest bon-fire ever known to the town. Every student in line in the parade gathered boxes from the street curbs where they had been placed, and carried them to North park where the fire was built. There the real college spirit manifested itself forcefully until the last glowing caebers died out.
The only deplorable thing which happened during the entire evening was the fact that the bon-fire was lighted prematurely, thus not giving the business men a chance to help celebrate. While almost all of the rooters were still gathering boxes on Massachusetts street, a student took it upon himself to set fire to the boxes. This, of course, was displeasing to the majority of the students. However, at the same time the sstudents did not allow the act to take away any of the genuine Kansas enthusiasm which they always show.

Seniors Failed to Report.
A call for seniors to report for football practice, was answered by only five men last night. The Junior-Senior game is next Saturday, and it is hoped that a full team will report for practice every night this week. President Neal has promised the members of the senior class team class numerals if they win the championship.so with that inducement there ought to be twenty-five men out for practice every night this week.

AMUSEMENTS.
It is said that nothing approaching the gay buoyaney and the lingering tunefulness of "Marcelle," the new Pixley and Luders' comic opera in which Louise Gunning, supported by Jess Dandy and sixty others, will appear at the Bowersock opera house, Thursday, November II, has been seen on our stage for a long while. Like "The Merry Widow," Marcelle" is generally supplied with delightful waltzes and other tuneful music of the kind that lingers in the memory and is hummed and whistled the next day almost unconsciously. Miss Gunning, who, in a meteor-like flight from the chorus to realms of grand opera,has paused to delight us for a season or so in operetta, has, we are told, a role that shows her phenomenal voice to perfection, and that, at the same time, proves her talent as a comedienne.
