THREE 1 SPORTSINC By LLOYD HENDRICKS The Kansas football field was officially dedicated as "Kansas Field" at the Kansas and Colorado game Saturday. It was the same Field on which the two schools played thirty years ago but It was under a new name. At that time It was known as old McCook Field. The suggestion for the name of the Jayhawk gridiron was made by the late Henry B. Schott, stu dent at the university In 1890-92, writer, advertising man and busi ness executive, for whom many scholarships have been named at the Kansas institution. The stadium now rests on the ground which was originally the property of Dr. Charles Robinson, the first governor of Kansas. About 1800 the gift from John J. McCook of $2,500 made possible "McCook Field," which was used until 1930. That year marked the beginning of a stadium fund which finally culminated in the present natural bowl' among the hills. The Kan sas stadium accommodates 38,000 spectators. A rather novel situation oc curred when members of the Delt house at Berekley, Calif., de cided it was time to foist a bath tub party on their neophytes. When they went to look for the bathtub, lo and behold, it had dis rprl We are not hinting that pledges would take it, but it seems that mere is pieniy oi circunwiiui tial evidence to support a convic tion RB-nlnRt them.

The "Grand Old Man" has been active in football for over forty five vpnrs He considers the 1924 Illinois contest the most thrilling he ever watched on Stagg Field at Chicago. Red Grange, at the height of his power, was thundering his way to everlasting fame over the gridirons of the Big Ten and Zup pke and his supporters came to Chicago confidently singing the nvaise of the weare of "77." But Stagg had a counter charge for the great "Galloping Uhost "Five Yards" McCarthy.

Stagg la starting again as he did back in 1892 at Chicago. He has again become a builder in laying the foundations for the future greatness of a small college. Such a man ohrviilrl hn nraised. and high ly, for the admirable way in which he has carried rorwara me spini of small college football. PerhaDS the fact that Pug Lund lost the tip of his first finger on the right hand is no longer news, but we are wondering if it will help any to slow up the Gopher apa when he comes to unleash a passing attack on Nebraska next Saturday. The ringer Decame so badly infected last season that the Minnesota star was forced to do most of his passing with his left hand in a number of important games which were played late in the season. By now the digit should have healed sufficiently so that it will be no trouble to Mr. Luna, wnai thnt hnv ran do with his left hand to a football, few players can do with their rigiu. Anynow, we sure hope rug aoesn i try 10 pass wim either hand as the deception would be quite terrific. . . . Coach Frank Carldeo, Tiger coach, seems to have struck the keynote when he Issued the order that all Missouri varsity men would be required to go to class every day this fall dressed in cor duroy pants and shirt open at the neck. The reason Coach Carldeo gives for such orders Is that fussy men are not good football players ana that when a player becomes fussy over clothes it means sure ruin. The Missouri coach may be about right at that On the other hand he may be preparing them for the time when they meet the Nebraska roughles. We hope they do not become too Impolite and forget to change their football uni form once in a while. . . . .tana l Eva La Qalllenne: tk.t mhm ! iiinlap thi vear. and that the lovely jewelled Alpha Chi Rno pin wnicn is worn near nor Lrnno Alnha Thata nln a a DOtslble. hat an owner now attending Dart mouth university, uur uraciive hniMlla intratl' Ambition ll tO oontinue In theatrical work.

At this character it rather a mean dispositioned soul., the part is a difficult one and calls for an ex tremely careful reading. Margaret will be remembered for her roles In the Studio Theatre productions, among them Shakespeare's "As You Like It," Barrie's "Well Re membered Voice," "Peter Pan," "The Tin Soldier," "Treasure Is land" In the Children's Theatre, and other skits.

Gopher stronghold. Harry Johnson, KFAB and KFOR sports commentator, has been sent by his station to the scene of the conflict so that those unable to travel with the Huskers may be told of their progress. Grid-Graph Account. Still others will view a play-byplay display of the game on the big electric grid-graph in the coli seum. A special wire from th playing field will flash the game's story to the big board, sponsored by the Alumni association. Ray Ramsay, president of the associa tion expressed hopes for an ex ceptionally good turnout to watch the game over the grid-graph. "The association is still paying for the board," he said, "so it will be necessary to make a small charge to fans who wish to follow the detailed account of the Husker battle. As soon aa the board Is paid for, other games will either be free or the money will be used to support some other worth-while activity." 8pecial Radio Party. Radio station WCCO, Minneap olis, will give the contest another sendoff tonight when they broad cast a pre-game party. It may be sent out over a national hook-up. The program includes two Ne braska songs, "There Is No Place Like Nebraska" and "The Corn husker," and a resume of other Husker-Gopher grid battles. Short talks by principals in Saturday'3 game are also part of the party. Kvidence of the tremendous in terest lh the game is indicated by the quick purchase of the 500 tickets, sent to John K. Selleck a few days ago. The supply was exhausted soon after its arrival here. Short and Peppy. Special attention to tonight's rally la called. "It will be short and peppy," stated Irving Hill, Corn Cob leader, "but it will give the team something to think about and let them know that every Cornhusker fan wants the Scarle: and Cream to stop the Big Ten favorites and contenders for 1034 national honors."

Down South where they grow tobacco folks say . . . It's no wonder so many people smoke Chesterfields.
