THE OKLAHOMA WEEKLY NOVEMBER 3, 1919.
KANSAS TO BOYCOTT
HUSKEBS AFTER GAME
Jayhawk Council Objects to Action of
Nebraska in Quitting Valley;
Sooner Game Mentioned
Nebraska will be boycotted for foot
ball games by the University of Kansas
after Nov. 15, as the result action taken
by the Cornliuskers in withdrawing
from the Missouri Valley conference to
play Oklahoma at Omaha last Satur-
day. Iowa A. & M. h!s.> is serious!}
considering the step, it is understood.
Breaking off of athletic relations be-
tween Kansas and Nebraska came this
week as tile result of a telegram from
K. VV. Stanton, Ames Athletic counc I
received by Kansas sport authorities
saying the aggies had derided to serve
all relations.
Other teams in the Missouri Valle\
conference are considering such a step
it is understood.
Stanton is secretary of the Missouri
Valley conference of Councils and
Governing Boards.
Jayhawkers will play the ( ornhuskcfs
at Lincoln Nov. 15.
Wants in Big Nine
Auction of the Kansas athletic council
did not come as a surprise, it is said.
Nebraska kicked out of the conference
late in the summer when the football
schedule was being made up and Valley
coaches considered the plea for a game
with the Sooners at Omaha merely
as a pretext used by the Huskers in
an attempt to get into the Big Nine.
Four applications from Nebraska for
Big Nine membership have been re-
jected, it is said, and Missouri officials
believe Nebraska condisered the old
conference a dead-weight that kept
them out of the Big Nine group.
Precedent for the action of Kansas
and Ames was found in the case of
Michigan who withdrew from the Big
I en several years ago and was the
victim of a conference boycott.
Although Nebraska has asked the
I niversity of Kansas for two basket-
ball games, they will not be oven con-
sidered, .lay hawk coaches declare.
Neither baseball games or track events
will be scheduled between Kansas and
\mcs and the Huskers until Nebraska
i ee n.crs the Missouri Valley conference.

CO-ED FENCING
FOR NEXT YEAR
Enlarged .'icgram for Woman's Phy-
sical Training Includes Archery
and Corrective Exercise
Fencing, archery, and medical o
directive gymnasium work will be in
1 luded in gym schedule for women
next year, Miss Ima James, physical di-
rector for women said Monday dis-
cussing plans for enlarging co-ed ath
le'ic activities.
Because the old gymnasium is too
small to accomodate classes other than
"i required work no special training
could be taken up this year. The pres-
ent gym floor is used every class
hour in the week by either men or
women's class. Little elective work is
given.
Medical or corrective gymnasium is
for students physically unable to take
regular class work. It w.ll reach
university girls who have the great-
< st need of physical exercise. Miss
James believes.
Archery is the revival of the old
bow and arrow sport and is now being
taken up by physical instructors in
the leading universities.
rhe new woman's building that lias
been contracted for will have an ade-
((iiatc gymnasium for women and will
place woman's athletics on a new ba-
sis of development, it is believed.
JORDAN IS INVITED
TO Y. W. FIELD MEET
Mss Elizabeth Jordan, dean ol
women, received an invitation yesterday
to attend a meeting of the South-
western Field committe of the Y. \V.
A. at Dallas Nov. 4 to 7.
Representatives from Oklahoma, Tex-
as, and New Mexico w ill be present to
discuss problems of the southern field.
Reports from secretaries who were in
Europe will be received and a program
for world-wide Y. W. C. A. work will
be outlined.
Impetus was added to the campaign
for tile sensible shoe being Collin '. ed
by the university V. V,'. C. A. yestft

af women in chart- of th. campaign
received new posti i s and inforr.iatioi
Ironi the national committee.
These will be p. stcd today.
M:lny univci s'ty women bavi inquired
about the ntw style of shoe and at least
one store in the state has added
the normal lint shoe t<> its stock, Miss
Jordan said.
\ve dii not hope to get every girl to
wear the new shoe this year but wi
wish to arouse enough intertst to cause
them to inqu're at stores and thus in-
ure a supply of the shoes next fall".
Miss Jordan said.
A sensible walking shoe for every
university girl is desired by the or-
ganization pushing the reform. This
does not mean, they say, that women
should not wear fancy shoes to dances
and similar occasions but the high heel
shoe as a walking shoe must go. in the
decree.
Startling revelations of the deformi-
ties caused by the popular and conven-
tional shoe are contained in the ne*v
literature.
Almost unbelievable contortions re
suit from high heeled shoes with nar-
low toes. Fallen arches follow incor-
rect walking.
Instructions in proper walking have
been given out by Miss Jordan. A girl
should walk with toes straight forward
instead of having them speael out at
an angle of 45 degrees. This latter
form of walking tends to break the
arches, bend the big toe', cause bunions
The conventional shoe subjects its
wearei to as much punishment as un-
lergone by ( hinese women in their
'floris to obtain little feet, it is said.
The new sensible shoe will have a
traight line from he ti to toe allowing
plenty of room for the toes, a broad
lat heel preventing s' rain on the arclns.

FACULTY TO CORRECT
CLASS ROOM ENGLISH
Hadsell Introduced Card Record Plan
to Banish Sloven Speech of
University Students
Correction of language used in class*
by students will be the aim of a re-
port system started this week by
Prof. S. R. Hadsell, instructor in
English.
For the first time in the history of
the university an effort will be matle
on a large scale to ferret out individ-
ual peculiarities and errors in speech
anel remedy them through coopera-
tion of stuelents and members of the
English faculty.
The drive grew out of a national
movement to build up student speech
and the English language in common
use.
Under the new system cards will be
printed anel distributed to English
tudents asking for individual reports
tin deficiencies in the use of Faig-
1 is 1 i in classes. Grades will be af-
fected materially by these report-,
Professor Hadsell saiet.
Students will be aided not only in
corrected errors in their speech, but
faculty members will be :ompelleel
to watch themselves more closely in
their instruction, it is believed.
Records will be kept in all English
cla-ses but special attention will be
given to students in English 1 and 1
a.s it is believed that most college
students are able to ceirrect their
careless use of language in the first
year in the university.
Besides raising the standard of Eng-
lish used by new students, the cartl
system will result in better recita-
tions in all departments, Professor
Hadsell believes. Freshmen will be
shown also the difference in high
schotd and college recitations.
Other universities have adopted to
advantage this methoel of correcting
sloven English. At Illinois penal-
ties are attached to negligent speech.
Special classes with no credit are
requireel for careless English.
For the student who is not spe-
cializing in English the correct use of
every day" language is the most
important benefit deriveel. English
instructors say. The sentiment now
that no student should be granted
a degree until he is able to express
bis thoughts in clear, concise English.
