TUESDAY, DEC. 7, 1909
Iowa now announces that in the future her football team, like her other athletic teams in the past three years, will schedule contests with the schools of the Chicago rather than of the Missouri Valley conference. Iowa is anxious to stay in the "higher" company and play the "bigger" schools. That is a laudable enough ambition and Kansas students only wish Iowa more success with the "big" schools than she had with the "little" schools in these parts roundabout.
An authentic news item from Columbia states that there are one hundred and fifty athletes training for track at Missouri. Kansas soldom has enough men out to complete a full track team. No wonder the Tigers always romp off with the track meets. If Coach Hamilton forms a winning team here more than a mere handfull of men must get out to practice.
Professor Dyche has almost given up his Mt. McKinley trip because of pressure of his new state work. Maybe he will reconsider the matter after he scales Mt. Oread for a few more days. The ascent of Mt. McKinley ought to be only a spring outing after that.
This is evidently the storm that the weather prophets in the East predicted would hit Kansas City on Thanksgiving day. Would it that it had. It would have been better thus than the way it was.
Are Furnishing Specimen Rooms.
The specimen rooms in the Mining Engineering Building are being fitted up now and will be ready for use about February 1. The new cases are being placed along the sides and are about eight feet high with glass tops and sides. These cases are finished in oak veneer with round pillars supporting the massive moulding. Inside the cases are three levels with four steps to room for all the specimens col-are placed.
The cases are light and are practically dust-proof and give room for all the specimens collected in both mineralogy or geology.
Mr. Buecholz, principal of the Ottawa high school, visited Murray Hill Saturday and Sunday at the Pi Upsilon house.

Debate Saturday.
In order to increase the interest ni debating, certain friends of the University have contributed prizes to be awarded by the Debating council for excellence in the try-outs for the inter-state University debates. Three first given, of which one is offered by Prof. W. H. Carruth, another by Watkins National bank and another by the Merchants' association of this city. These prizes will be given to the men taking first place in the three series of try-outs.
Also three second prizes, a Webster's Imperial Dictionary, have been given by Mr. D. L. Rowlands.
The final try-out for places on the Colorado team will take place Saturday afternoon in the chapel. The following men will compete in a regular debate: E. L. Overman, Foster Cline, W. Griffin, George Probst, Streeter Blair and H. Marks. Three of these men will be chosen to compose the regular debating team.
The first tryout for the Oklahoma debate will be held Wednesday, December 15th. The question to be discussed is the same as that for Colorado, the Postal Savings Bank. The Debating council decided that those contestants who were unsuccessful in the second and third tryouts for Colorado will be allowed to enter directly the second tryout for the Oklahoma debate.
