CAN our boys play Yale and score?
BAKER plays hot foot ball. Don't fail to see the decisive battle of the season.
TRAT COURIER Christmas number will be one you will want to send to your friends.
COME out and cheer for our invincible team Monday. It has the hardest battle of the year before it.
THE Washburn Reporter concede the foot ball pennant to us. The reporter can read the signs of the times.
We would suggest that a hare and hounds race be one of the athletic features of K. S. U.. Round Blue Mound for instance.
The Kansas papers are all proud of our "leven." Nearly every paper has something to say about our victories between the goals.
WHAT's the matter with an Annual? We have plenty of material for one and lots of talent that needs developing in working it up.
The trouble with the foot ball game Saturday, was that our team played against twelve men, and the twelfth man was the biggest in the crowd. ___
OUR foot ball team is still invincible. 14 to 12 against Iowa gives Kansas the championship of four states, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas.
Holbrook, the S. U. I referee,
seems to be a regular appendage of
the team. He goes with the team
wherever it goes to play a game, and
the team refuses to play unless he
is chosen referee. Shame on such
a spirit!
K. S. U. is attracting more attention every week. The Sunday K. C. Journal had a two column write up of Prof. Dyche and his work shop. The Sunday Capital devoted two columns to Prof. Blackmar. Verily K.S.U. waxeth greater every day.
THE result of Saturday's foot ball game should be a warning to us in all future contests. A referee who is interested in one team can hardly fail to favor it. But no matter how fair he may try to be he his decisions are liable to be misconstrued. No man should be selected as umpire who is in any way connected with either school.
ORATORICAL prospects this year are good. The papers of the various colleges in the Oratorical Association report a large number who will enter the various local contests. Every man who intends to compete this year ought to be hard at work. Orations written on the spur of the moment are not the kind that knock the persimmon.
THE COURIER would like to see the tennis management get a hustle on itself and manage its tennis affairs in the future much better than it has done this fall. We have not yet heard which way the championship in tennis was decided and we would like to be sure that it comes to K.S.U. The present tennis directors need a little prudding up so as to be able to keep up with the vehicle of K.S.U. athletics. We do hope you will get a move on yourself and by the assistance of our best tennis players keep the tennis pennant permanent in this historic city.
The proposed Interstate Athletic league between the universities of Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa and Kansas is to be heartily commended. The Courier some time ago advocated the formation of such an organization and we are glad to see that some action has been taken. The advantages of such a league are many. In the first place it will be an organization between schools of equal standing. To win a victory from an inferior college is no particular credit, while to be beaten is a positive disgrace. Again it will stimulate athletics and make a place on a contest to be held in greater honor than ever. It will give us an opportunity to compare ourselves with the live schools of the west and will spur up college spirit to a higher pitch.
KANSAS University team has a clean record. Not only as to victories, but the reports taken from other college papers stamp them as true gentlemen, as well as sturdy foot ball players: Professor Hopkins manages and trains the team and his advice to the men given in the columns of the Courier, the K S. U. paper, just before starting for a game, is summed up in the words: "Above all things be men on the field." The S. U.I. team now meets a worthy opponent indeed, and it will be worth the men's best efforts to win. So far we have not done anything remarkable in the line of winning games. We have won two and lost two. But we have made a good start, and if the game with Kansas is added to the list of games won we shall feel that the hard work of the team during the fall has been compensated.—Vidette Reporter.
K. S. U. has at all time and all places acted fair and square and the above from the Vidette Reporter shows the good effect produced abroad by our clear record.

A Last word Before the Championship Game.
The result of the Iowa game on Saturday was in no sense a defeat; but it was worse than a defeat from the standpoint taken by the management throughout the season. The aim in view has been not to win games primarily but to establish the reputation of the team and University for fair play and gentlemanly behavior under all circumstances, thus involving the determination to stand any amount of unfair treatment without descending to reciprocate in any way. The management felt no small pride in the way in which the first Baker game was played, entirely apart from the score that was made, and perhaps felt somewhat too sure that no trouble would need be apprehended in future games. Consequently the managers desire to take the entire responsibility for the mistake that was made on Saturday. Iowa's frank recognition of our stand in regard to the ethics of football coupled with the mention of a man for referee who was implied to be in full sympathy with our positions, a perfect gentleman and absolutely impartial, led to the violation of the only safe role in games likely to be close, that referee and umpire must be chosen from disinterested parties. Thus while nothing in the public opinion can justify leaving the field the real blame does not rest with the team.
It is however not likely that either manager or team will repeat the slander; and there is yet time to heal the coming game with Baker. Our efforts to put an end to past unpleasantness have been met more than half way by the Baker management, and they will visit us on Monday in the fullest assurance of courteous treatment. If any violation of courtesy should occur through oversight on our part, the disgrace will be lasting, while if this game is "played" in the same spirit as was the last one there need
never be any need again to dig up the hatchet between the two institutions
In view of our responsibility as hosts, and the probable presence at the game of a certain element hard to control, each man having the best interests of this University at heart should constitute himself a member of a special committee to preserve order on the grounds. The policing of the grounds is especially important, both as to number and selection of deputies. In this matter Baker set us a splendid example. The rules with reference to "guying" and coaching from behind the ropes should be rigidly observed; the latter more carefully than was done in the game at Baker. The spectators have often interfered with the team signals, when the play was near side lines, by shouting out the name of the man with the ball, and by the ill-advised cheering. It is earnestly desired that both these matters be remembered, and that enthusiasm be kept well in check when its expression most interfere with work upon the field.
Finally, and it is not too much to ask, in view of the spirit in which they come, let us cheer for Baker. If we win it will be easy, but if Baker wins, as she means to win if at all, by fairly earning the victory, a greater victory may even then be won by K. S. U. if she will swallow her disappointment, and render permanent the present order of good feeling by a hearty cheer for the winners E. M. HOPKINS.
SHIELD OF PHIKAPPA PSI
It Blazes with Beauty and Glows with Good Fellowship.
There was a lively time at the Coats house in Kansas City Friday evening. Some of the old boys and some of the young boys of the college fraternity, Phi Kappa Psi, met each other there, gave the grip and the password, feasted, drank and made merry. There were men there who had eaten of the tree of knowledge in New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and other states. But the mystic bonds of Phi Kappi Psi made them brothers and of one accord. The menu which these brothers discussed was one of those elegant and appropriate affairs for which the Coates house is noted, and was duly appreciated, and the Kansas boys found much therein that soothed the inner man.
Dr. George C. Mosher presided over the toasts, which were done to a turn. Prof. Hodder, of the Kansas State University, Attorney W. A. Powell of this city, Charles S. Gleed, of Topeka, Denton Dunn of this city, H. S. Hadley of Lawrence and others responded to toasts and made short talks on college and fraternity themes or told stories of freshman and sophomore days.
Concert, and Oratorio.
Concert, and Oratorio.
The annual Christmas concert of of the School of Music takes place next Tuesday evening in University Hall. The program will be very attractive, as the school graduates five seniors this year in the Artists course, all of whom will play piano-forte selections Several fine vocal selections and a ladies chorus will be on the program. Prof. Buch will play a violin selection and the new department of dramatic art will be represented by a dramatic recitation. The program is given elsewhere. The concert is free to all students.
THE MESSAIAIL."
The performance of Handel's great oratorio "The Messiah" at Christmas is an annual event in all the large cities in this country and England. It is seldom heard however in smaller cities, owing to the difficulty of the work, and the lack of a sufficient number of voices necessary for its proper rendering Prof. Penny and the School of Music certainly deserve much credit for so large an undertaking, and that it will be a success no one questions. The chorus numbes 70 voices nearly all of whom are University students. Three of the soloists are students in the School of Music. Miss Ethel Hayes, soprano; Miss Titsworth, soprano; and Miss Harriet Fellows, contratto.
The quartette of soloists are Mrs. Cyrus Crane (formerly Miss Josie Hutchel) of Kansas City, soprano; Mrs. Professor Dunlap, contralto. Mr. Oliver C. Huthinson,of Kansas City, bass.
Mr. Schutt, of the University, tenor.
The celebrated concert organist,
Mr. Frank P. Fisk of Kansas City
is the accp a ist. It will thus be
seen that Prof. Penny has secured
a chorus and soloists thorougly
capable of giving a fine presenta-
tion of this great work.

REFINEMENT in dress emphasizes the lady or gentleman, and as such little things as Neckwear, Collar's and Cuffs, Shirts, etc., play an important part, careful discrimination should be made in the selection. We would therefore advise all in quest of such articles to call on Bromelsick, where you will always find the largest assortment and latest fads in furnishings.

OUR stock of Fine Chinas, Fine Lamps and fancy goods for the holiday trade is now ready.

A. Dailey and see for yourself the immense stock of elegant goods displayed.
