TUESDAY, JAN. 4, 1910
Coach Kennedy is the sad-faced one these days. Just after he worked himself into a fierce anger against Missouri, Coach Roper is reported to have gone to Prineeton. All Kennedy's hope for evening up a few scores are threatened with disillusionment Cheer up, coach, thus has it been from childhood's hour.
Since Dr. Cook has been branded the monumental fakir of this or any other age, Professor Dyche will not ascend Mt. MeKinley to bring down the Cool records. All of the professor's practice on Mt. Oread is thus wasted on the desert (?) air.
Coach Yost has turned out a number of pretty good football teams, yet his has been but a mel ancholy career at best. He seems doomed to more unpleasant prises in regard to the personnel of his team than any other builder of gridiron machines.
ing rest and refreshment, after fattening up on mother's cooking and seeing old friends a home, how fine it is to get down to our studies again. Say, who threw that cabbage?
Here we go on the home stretch Let out a little more steam and get up a little more speed. Or have you already gone the limit?
The basket-ball, season opens this week. The days of sweet revenge are coming. Revenge or whom? Aw, go on.

GAME IS WORTH WHILE.
So Says Chancellor Strong in Colliers Weekly.
Chancellor Strong is one of the sixteen college presidents who are quoted in an article appearing in Colliers Weekly of December 18, entitled "Is Football Worth While?"
The Chancecoller replied: "I believe it to be of very great advantage to have wholesome sport for the college youth. On the whole in spite of its drawbacks I see no better sport for fall and early winter than football. I should, therefore, dislike to see it andandoned.
Caspar Whitney sent letters to the heads of the leading colleges and universities of the country, asking whether the student would be more benefited by an abandonment of the game, or by its retention and the elimination of the present features to which objections are taken.
"I shall name but two or three objections: one is the undue attention it is apt to receive from the students in general, so that i sometimes interferes with their main work; another is that football as an inter-collegiate sport is of advantage to a few men only; and, third, I should regard the chances of being injured as being now too great, although I speak with diffidence on this point and recognize that any strenuous sport carries a liability of injury."
Miss Sarah Morrison, of Kansas City, Mo., who has been attending Vassar college, has entered the freshman class in the College.
ON THE CINDER TRACK.
Track Men Will Be Working There Before Weed-End.
The 40-yard cinder path in the basement of the gymnasium will be completed before the week is out. Track Coach Hamilton is anxious to get his sprinters, shot putters, and pole-vaulters to work; but the handicap of working on wooden floors has held them back.
The new dirt-and-einder-covered space in the gymnasium removes this difficulty, however and the men will soon be able to practice their events under conditions almost the same as those of an out-door field.
The University directory of students, faculty,officers and employees was printed by the Alumni Association during the holidays and is now in the hands of the registrar for distribution Two thousand five hundred copies were printed and each student who desires one may secure it by calling at the registrar's office. The home address and class standing of each student is giver in addition to his Lawrence address and telephone number.
New Directories Are Out.

Steam Rotted One of Wood in Green Hall.
NEW CEMENT FLOOR
University workmen today finished laying a cement and concrete floor in Room 6, in the basement of Green hall. It replaces the regular wooden flooring which, with its supporting joists had rotted away until it had be come unsafe, due to escaping steam from the heating pipe which enter the building directly beneath this room.
