The man who wrote up the late lamented football game between Kansas and Missouri could have done justice to the battle of Waterloo. Maybe he thought it was the battle of Waterloo.-Emporia Gazette.
We presume the Gazette refers to the article in the Kansas City Star, which was a great piece of sport writing. But the man who wrote that piece was far from regarding the event as the battle of Waterloo. He is a graduate of one of the most ardent rivals of Kansas in the sporting world, and personally was just bubbling over with joy because Kansas had been defeated. But he let none of his personal feeling creep into his story. Instead, he threw the proper atmosphere of gloom into his work and reproduced exactly the Kansas feeling. Kansas has fared well at the hands of the Star, notwithstanding the fact that every man on the sport desk wished for no greater satisfaction that a Jayhawker defeat.
Coach Kennedy will not direct the Jayhawker football team next fall unless his salary is raised. The coach is asking for an increase in salary with all the argument and justice on his side. He has made the best record of any coach in the Missouri valley and at the same time has drawn almost the smallest pay. Everyone wants to retain Kennedy; but whether he is kept or not, Kansas must increase the salary of the head coach or obtain the services of a second rater in the business. It is inevitable that the Athletic association must appropriate more money next year to the coaches, and that being the case Kennery should be retained by all means. It seems to us that he has it coming to him.
We have often wondered why there was not a dramatic club formed at the University for the purpose of annually writing and staging plays on local subjects and life. "Father and the Frat," by Miss Muriel Culp, is just such a play and the success it met with last night warrants the belief that one local play a year could be successfully put on the boards. There are plenty of people in the University who, working together, could write a very creditable play. The Thespians have a fine chance to perpetuate the idea they have started and in
a short time the annual original play on local life would be an expected feature at the University.
The final gun of the football season has now been fired. Herman Hoelke has chosen his All Missouri Valley team, an event which was awaited with baited breath by all football fans. Who is Herman Hoelke? Why, he is a student in the school of journalish at the University of Missouri, and he is the only student who signs his name to his "stuff" in the University Missourian. Our friends Hoelke, with admirable restraint gave his abma mater only five places on his All Valley team and with true magnanimity gave the Jayhawkers three places. Oh, Hoelke!
In giving only fourteen letters to the football athletes the athletic board used the Knife with too much effect, or else did not shave close enough.

MUCH INTEREST IN EXTENSION
LETTERS COME FROM FAR AND NEAR.
From Brooklyn to Texas, Inquires Come Seeking Light on University's New Work.
Within the past few days letters received from various parts of the country have shown the widespread interest which is being taken in the University extension courses recently established at the University. An article recently printed in the New York World resulted in two letters of inquiry from Brooklyn being received by Professor Richard E. Price, head of the bureau of University extensier work.
Another man had been interested by a "write-up" in the Chicago Inter-Ocean, while a man in Amarilla, Tex., in the heart of the cattle country, had read an account of the work of Professor Price through the columns of the Christian Science Monitor.
