This is the foot ball number of the Courier.
We ate turkey Thanksgiving day. Missouri ate crow.
BAKER struts around as proudly after their victory over the second eleven as a small boy does when he puts on long pants.
KANSAS UNIVERSITY is the champion of the southwest. Minnesota of the northwest. The next game will be a battle of the giants.
BAKER won the triangular pennant and now claims the championship of the west. Probably in their estimation the west extends around the world.
THE League base ball season is ended, and admirers of the game note a decadence of the popularity so long enjoyed by professional teams. Munificent salaries are a thing of the past, and amateur organizations are forging to the front. The craze that netted big profits and pervaded every class has gone out. May foot ball never become a professional game.
D. W. Eastman, the Representative elect from the Emporia district, in Lyon county, will push a bill making an appropriation for enlarging the State Normal school. He says that the school has outgrown its present quarters and cannot possibly get along without a new wing. The school now has a larger attendance than any normal in the United States, and ranks as the foremost of American normal schools.
In the North Western College league Minnesota has played three games and won each of them, Michigan, Wisconsin and Northwestern have each won one game and lost two.
In the South Western league Kansas University has won every game with the following scores:
K. U. - - 20. Denver - - 6.
K. U. - - 26. Illinois - - 4.
K. U. - - 24. Iowa - - 4.
K. U. - - 12. Nebraska - 0.
K. U. - - 12. Missouri - 4.
Total 92. 8,1
In spite of the twelve foot tin horns which the Missouri boys used "Rock Chalk" was heard above all the din. We have a good yell and know its potentialities. At the beginning of the game with a measured and irresistable power, "The universal host absent A shout that tore Hell's concave, and beyond Frightened the reign of Chaos and old Night." When the team was in the midst of action, just as a powerful rush was going to be made it was given in a quick and energetic manner that inspired the players. When victory crowned our heroes it poured forth in one long continued flow of soul.

Foot Ball—A Game of Brains.
Foot ball has its bad side. It breaks collar bones, gouges out eyes, sprains ankles. It absorbs too much the attention of certain students. But foot ball has its good side. It has intellectual and moral relations. Its playing demands a mind as well as muscle, white tissue of the brain as well as red tissue of the chest. Foot ball trains in a conspicuous way elements of character.
Foot ball trains the supreme quality of judgment. The game is one of inferences. It teaches the art of weighing evidence. It is a constant and swift grasping together of many and diverse parts, and from this one thought drawing a certain duty to be swiftly done. It is a comparison—comparing with opposing strength. It is a ceaseless interrogation—what will the opponent do, how can he be beaten, where is his weakest point, where his strongest. Judgements made in foot ball are made under the necessity of swiftness like the lightning's. The mind is alert to see, to infer. A second determines priority. No tiger ever springs more quickly than a foot ball man. Fumbling is death. "If 'twered well it were done quickly.' If it is not done quickly by one side it is done quickly by the other. The quicker quickness wins.
Foot ball is a discipline of the quality of attention. Attention to duty is at the burning point. The absorption is complete. Playing foot ball must be genuine objectivity, the alter Ego. I quite envy lusty fellows their flinging themselves, of themselves. What a joy it is to forget oneself! I lately witnessed a game—the first first rate game I ever saw. I was interested in the effect of the game on myself. I made a diagnosis of my condition. I—staid old gentleman—wildly flinging my umbrella in the air and hollowing like a loon. My pulse, as near as my excited condition would permit my counting, was 144! But what of those eleven, twenty.two men bending over that leather covered ball? The excitement of Gettysburg, even Pickett's charge, could have hardly been greater.
Foot ball is a training in co-operative endeavor. Each player works with every other, knee to knee, shoulder to shoulder. One man runs, three men protect him from the tackling assaults of his antagonists. One man gets the ball by a trick, four men have aided him. Nine men are pushing the nine other men toward the goal, bowed and buckled together into one manhood—two men stand without ready for a swiftly-made emergency. Each man is strong in himself, each man is strong for himself and for each other. Let our friends who are talking about a co-operative basis of society see a foot ball game if they wish to see what real co-operation is. Eleven minds that think as one, eleven necks that bend as one, twenty-two shoulders that push as one, twenty-two hands,
twenty-two knees, every man, every faculty of every man, all working with each other and toward one aim, that's foot ball.
Foot ball is a discipline in the quality of judgment, attention and co-operation. It is a discipline in many other and excellent qualities. But in this part of this article let it suffice to say that foot ball is a discipline, it is a training. It is a conversion of adipose matter, material, mental, into art cultured forces. It promotes development. It promotes self-control, self restraint. It promotes endurance. It promotes proper obedience. The discipline of the regular United States army is an education which, if not liberal, is rather liberating. Four years ago West Point, even if one shirked his books, would be a training from boyhood to manhood. The rigor and vigor of foot ball has a similar effect.
But I do not intend to eulogize foot ball. I only want to point out certain mental qualities which it fosters. It is well to see, better to make conspicuous these qualities. Athletics occupy an important place in college life. We can "down" them on neither the popular nor the academic field. Their evil features, and evil features they have, are to be eliminated. They are to exist, to exist in larger ways, as the people become wealthier, and work more exhausting and life more complex. To abolish them is impossible. To guide them is the duty of those who control things. To get the most out of them, to get the highest work from them, to cause them to minister to the mind, to minister to the soul, in nobler advantages as faculties become nobler, is to be made the great endeavor.—President Thwing, Western Reserve University Adelbert College.
Prof. Dyche.
The Kansas City Journal pays Prof. Dyche the following tribute: "For fourteen months he has been working almost night and day to make an exhibit of the mammals of North America at the World's Fair that will be an honor to the University and a credit to himself. To those who know Dyche and his methods it is unnecessary to say that he has succeeded in his undertaking. To those who do not know him the facts may come somewhat as a surprise. From boyhood his life has been devoted to the study of animated nature, and as he grew in years so did his ambition grow until his whole being is engrossed in the great work to which he has set his life. Not content with taking what was to be found in books, and not trusting the judgment of others, he has gone into the deepest wilds of the mountains from New Mexico to the far Northern British Columbia, and in their homes has found the animals which he wished to study. Seeking them out day after day and month after month, he has amassed a fund of knowledge possessed but by few men, and
sessed but by few men, and to day
probaby knows more about the home life of the larger mammals of the continent than any other living man."
MUSIC NOTES.
The Christmas concert will be given in the University chapel on Dec. 12th.
The State Music Teachers association will meet in Lawrence during the holiday vacation.
The Music School will publish a monthly magazine. The first number will appear next month and will contain about sixty pages and a Christmas supplement. After the first number it will be entirely a Kansas publication.
The annual rendering of the Messiah will occur on the evening of Dec. 14. The chorus will consist of seventy five voices and soloists from the school. The accompaniment will be performed upon two pianos and two organs.
The contrast between Leschetizky's two pieces "Consolation" and "Mazurka," which followed Prof. Preyer's own work was clearly brought out. His phrasing was especially to be admired in the former composition. In response to a furious recall he gave a gay waltz by Gillet. Prof. Preyer has none of the tricks and eccentricities of some pianists and his execution is remarkable.
Prof. Carl Preyer, the new professor of piano music, made his first public appearance before a Lawrence audience at the faculty concert and the generous applause which followed every performance gave evidence that he was received with due honor to his remarkable musical talent. He was a pupil of the famous teacher and composer Leschetizky, and he betrays a skillful touch such as can be obtained only by study under the great masters. Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodie No. 12 was brilliantly executed and for an encore he responded with "The Book" by Heller. The "Danse Fantastique," a bright piece with a beautiful theme for the left hand and variations, showed Mr. Preyer's ability as a composer of considerable merit.
