GAME ON THANKSGIVING!
Dispatch From Lawrence Indicates q
Change Will Be Made.

According to a newspaper report
from Lawrence, Kan, dated July s.
the University of Kansas has de oided
in favor of playing the annual Mis-
souri-Kansas football game on
Thanksgiving Day instead of the Sat
urday before. But Prof. C. l.. Brew
er has received no official notification
of the change.
Early in the spring. the governing
board of the schools in the Missouri
Valley Conference by mail vote de-
cided to remove the prohibition Oh
Thanksgiving Day games, leaving the
matter to the individual institutions.
The Athletic Committee of the l'ni-
versity of Missouri felt that Thanks
giving Day game would be more pop
ular with the alumni and would not
break into school work so much as
the game does now, when it. practi-
cally creates an extra holiday. Con-
sequently, Professor Brewer took the
matter up with w. o. Hamilton OF
Kansas University. He wrote two let =
ters to Lawrence. but received no
answer.
If the article in the Kansas City
Star of Friday, July 3, is authentic, an
official notice of the decision is prob
ably on it's way to Columbia now.

of the murder On the contrary he
told them that his movement for two

Edwards eliminated, the police are
bending their energies TO find the man

AS the investigation goes deeper In
to Judge Knowles life IL is found that
he had several enemies in the neigh

more than once got him into quar-
