The Jayhnwkers met defeat on Ne braska field Saturday before a crowd of about 1,800 people. The day was an ideal one for football, but the spec tators were few, owing, perhaps, to the fact that supporters of the Nebraska team expected a walk away and had no desire to see such a game. As a matter of fact, the Cornhuskers were compelled to play a hard game and fre quently had their line smashed for long gains. Nebraska's goal was never In danger, however, and although the rooters had another scare, when Etch en, the courageous right tackle, stole the ball and made a spectacular run of 108 yards. The umpire's decision settled matters satisfactorily however. In the second half Kansas took a brace and made rapid progress down the field but an unlucky fumble stopped the work and the rest of the playing was done by Nebraska. Supporters from Kansas to the num ber of 300 came on a special train Sat urday and with their band aided ma terially by good rooting. It must be confessed that in this particular Ne braska was excelled by her rival. Nebraska hardly played her game, and although there is no cause to re gret the work done, the style of ball put up was not equal to that of a week before. THE GAME. Kansas kicked off to Benedict, who fumbled, but managed to return G yards. The first down failed to gain, but Englehard on the next play bucked the line for 5 yards and Cortelyou fol lowed with a small gain. Englehard made 3 yards and Benedict punted with no return.

GRADUATE CLUB MEETS Auspicious Opening for Collegiate Year Interesting Talks by Several Prominent Men. The Graduate club held Its fiiBt meet ing at the home of Professor Fossler last Saturday evening. About one hundred were present and this is con sidered unusually auspicious for the work of tho year. Miss Charlotte Hull horst opened the program by singing a selection from Van de Water. The president, Professor Grummann, spoke briefly on the aims of the club, empha sizing that It attempted to broaden tho intellectual Interest of the post graduate Btudents of the university as well as guard them from social isola tion. The plans for the year were briefly outlined. The programs are to consist of papers on special lines of research Intended for those who are not specializing in the brunch con sidered, and of the discussion of ques tions of Interest to post-graduate cir cles generally. Dean Davis gave a most Interesting talk on "A Century of Mathematics." He reviewed the various changes which nave come about In mathematical rea soning during the last century, and made a very abstract subject strik ingly Interesting by his engenlous pre sentation. Chancellor Andrews opened the dis cussion on "The Influence of the Three Years' College Course upon Post-graduate Work." The Chancellor declared that he was Inclined to favor the change, believing that both the under graduate and graduate departments would be benefited. He said he believed a largo number of able men and wo men would become college Btudents who are at present deterred on ac count of the expenses of a four years' course. Many students who have hith erto been forced to close their college course when they have obtained their A. B., would under the new arrange ment find it possible to undertake graduate work. Whether more would actualy take advanced degrees or not did not, according to the speaker, seem to affect the question, since the ef fectiveness of instruction can not be gauged by the degree granted. Professor A. Ross Hill called atten tion to the fact that under the new sys tem there might be .a large number of able students from whom to chose post graduate students and that this would probably counteract the apparent dis advantage of having a shorter period of preparation. Professor Ward spoke briefly also on tho subject and pointed out some of the dangers Involved in the change. After the transaction of routine bus- iness, college songs were sung. Pro fessor Kimball played the accompanl ments, and succeeded in stirring the members to that pitch of enthusiasm necessary to the singing of college songs. After refreshments were served an hour was spent In renewing nnd form ing acquaintances. This pnrt of the evening was especially onjoyed because a number of the professors from the University of Kansas were prcsont. Young Women's Convention.

The Friday evening session was held In the university chapel. Mr. J. B. Bailey, state secretary of the Young Men's Christian association, addressed the convention on "Opportunity." At tho Saturday morning session the budget for the coming year was pre sented by Mrs. F. M. Hall: It asked for about $400 to meet expenses of the as sociation. Subscriptions by local or ganizations were liberal and tho amount was nearly raised. Chancellor Andrews addressed the afternoon meeting on "Importance of Christian Training in a Student's Life."

The approach of early evening dark ness is bringing forth appreciated Improvements in tho lighting of var ious department rooms.
