The seventeenth annual football
game between the teams of Kansas
university and the University of Okla
homa was to be played on McCook
field at Lawrence this afternoon. OF
the sixteen games already played Kan
sas has won ten, lost five and tied one.
The tie game was played in 1914, the

Oklahoma won the game last year
when the two teams faced each other
without spectators for the contest. The
1918 battle was a closed gate affair
on account of the flu epidemic.
Kansas RIOTERS Confident.
Kansas rooters consider the game
today the hardest of the Jayhawker
1919 schedule with the single excep-
ton of the Turkey day game with Mis-
souri,. Coach Bonnie Owens seems to
be depending on beef to win the game
this year instead of on the success of
an aerial attack as formerly.
The Kansas team has been driven
under high pressure this week in
preparation for the game. The Nc
Carly men seemed to hit their stride
in the game with the Kansas Aggies
last week and the coaches took full
advantage of the situation to drive in

TAG DAY. TAG DAY.

July 1919 will will be tag days all
over the state to raise funds to buy
place at Iowa City that will be home
for the girls Of our race, VINO desire to
attend that college.
The history Of the school life of our
girls at Iowa City has been one of
struggles and humiliation. There are
but few of our people in Iowa City and
to get a place to stay the girls have
gone into the homes of the other race
to work-running to schol in the morn
ings without chance to glance in the
glass, hurrying back at noon to help
with the midday meal, then another
run to school. When the evening work
was done, they were to tired to study.
There was no social life for these girls,
when sick they were homeless and
friendless.
Three years ago few girls who had
gone there to college decided to make
conditions better at Iowa City for
Negro girls. They took the money re-
ceived from their parents and rented a
house, the faculty of the university
gave them furniture and they started
home with Mrs. Helen Cameron
Beshears as matron. 1t has been
success. They have gained prestige for
all Iowa and now have Delta Sigma

delegate to Iowa Federation and asked
for assistance, but little was done. Like
