45. 000 persons attended university extension lectures and classes in England during the winter of 1890 91.

Our foot ball team has scored a total of 136 points against a total of 36 points by the opposing teams. An average of only 20 on each game.
The lectures of Prof. Blackmar in K.C. are meeting with just appreciation. The professor has been requested to give another course in economics.
THE Y. M. C. A. team deserve credit for holding down to 22 points the best foot ball team that bucks a rush line west of the Mississippi river.-K C. Times.
The Topeka Sunday Capital devotes a column space to the eighth monthly report of Chancellor Snow's chinch bug experiments. The Capital takes great interest in K.S.U. affairs.
On to K. C.! Don't fail to go Saturday and cheer the boys on to victory. We have often made this request, before and the students have responded nobly. We need you again. Victory is already within our grasp.
THE little city of Olathe shows considerable energy in being the first of the smaller cities of the state to effect a University Extension organization. A number of lectures have already been given and much interest awakened.
COLORED policemen were conspicuous by their absence at the ball game Saturday. This is a move in the right direction. What does an ignorant darkey know about students, and how much attention do they pay to his demands? The action of the Baldwin authorities is wise and should be followed by Lawrence.
We believe that some changes showed be made in the number of games of foot ball in the triangular leagues next year. There is no necessity for playing a college more than once unless there is a tie. Our men have already done enough hard work and are not through yet. One game tests the ability of a team as well as half a dozen.
THE greatest weakness of our foot ball team lies in its blocking. We believe that if our men are ever defeated it will be from this cause. Our rush line has so far stood like a stone wall, and every team that has bucked it has gone home covered with defeat. But when a man runs around the end he makes headway. Washburn would not have sooared at all in the last game if our blocking had boen as effective as our playing in other ways.
THE foot ball game at Baldwin Saturday was conducted in marked contrast to former games played there. The complaint of unfair treatment by both K. S. U. and Washburn when on Baker grounds
has had its effect upon the student body of Baker. The hoodlum element had been suppressed and the best of good feeling prevailed. The behavior of the Baker students did credit to them. When Baker sends her delegation to Lawrence we will extend to them every courtesy.
Tomorrow our invincible foot ball team will meet upon the arena at Kansas City the foot ball team of Iowa State University. Unlike our team I. S. U. has already suffered defeat and for this reason will make almost superhuman efforts to regain their lost prestige by defeatour famous team. Of course we will disappoint them but we will have to work hard to do so. The game will certainly be a battle royal.
The university of Missouri has at last, in some measure, awakened from the lethargy in which she has been plunged for the last half century. She has awakened to the fact that there is a young and vigorous institution near her on the west that has been up and doing while she has been asleep. When the University Extension was first organized in Kansas City, invitations were sent to the universities of Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri. K. S. U. quickly responded and offered a choice of nineteen lectures for the course. For some time Missouri was not heard from and not until the course was well under way did she come forward. She now offers the people of Kansas City, after a delay of two months, a course of eleven lectures and is striving hard to overcome the loss she has sustained by her procrastination. We would advise M. U. to keep her eyes open in the future.

The business managers have placed the price at fifteen cents per copy. The Christmas supplement will only be sent free of charge to paid up subscribers.
THE Univerity Review came out Wednesdry. This issue is a credit to the University and to the editor in chief. The first article by Pres.W.A. Quayle, "The Relation of State and Denominational Schools" is of much interest. In this article President Quayle clearly show the true relation of state and denominational schools, and shows that both are necessary. Miss Gertrude Crotty, in the article, "Some Statistics Relating to the Health of College Women," shows much patient thought and thorough research. Miss Crotty believes that college work instead of being detrimental is "a discipline and tonic" to women.
"Fearless" Fred Funston in his iminitable style describes a wedding in the Mohave desert. Steta Takashima, who is well known to a number of K. S. U students, writes a very entertaining article on "The Japanese Students in America." As almost every college in the United States has one or more students from Japan, this article is of special interest to college men. We commend a careful perusal of the Review by the students.
SINCE the last issue of the COURIER our "invincible" foot ball team has scored two more victories. The continued success of our team can not fail to be a source of pride to every student of the University. The University has had more free advertising this year than ever before. Go where you will through the state and you will find the University discussed; Chancellor Snow's achievements; the University Extension and the never failing foot ball team all come in for a share. We are glad to know that the people of the state are awakening to the fact that we have a state University. This awakening means a larger attendance, larger appropriations, and a widening of the influence of the University.
Crimson.
To the Editor of the COURIER:
In-as-much as it is not yet settled what will be the University colors for the future, and as a writer in your last issue advocated standing by the old colors, it seems proper that some statement should be made of the grounds in favor of crimson. The purpose for which the University should have colors is not that they may be an object of sentiment, and therefore something too delicate for every day use, but rather that the wearing of these colors may lend distinction and attract attention just as a model college yell is noted for its sounding qualities rather than for its euphonious combinations. We want crimson, or some equally distinctive color because it is at all times obtainable in sufficient quantity and shapes to be effective; it is suitable for ball players' caps, belts and stockings; it be worn in neckties and handkerchiefs, and many ladies have been so loyal to the Athletic Association this fall as to appear at the games in crimson dresses. It is a color that newspapaper men can easily take note of as shown by the constant reference to the "victorious crimson" in connection with our foot ball games this games. How many papers in Kansas City or Topeka would have ever mentioned sky blue and corn-yellow? As to its being symbolic, it certainly as appropriate to indicate the warm generous spirit, the quick, sharp characteristics of the Kansas student by means of crimson as to persist in colors that are only agricultural in their significance. Those who have opposed a change have tried to raise the cry of "imitation" as though it were possible to get a color not already
held by some of the numerous colleges in the United States. Michigan University has sky blue and corn-yellow, why not as well imitate Harvard as Michigan? Of course we cannot but respect the opinions of our past graduates and students in this matter, but since it is in the way of athletic contests that colors are destined to play their large share, and since these contests are becoming more and more important, it behooves us to act and act wisely.

REFINEMENT in dress emphasizes the lady or gentleman, and as such little things as Neckwear, Collars 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. To say our stock is Large and complete does not express it, and for us to undertake to enumerate the different classes, styles, qualities and prices of our stock, would be simply to monopolize this whole paper, we therefore ask you to visit the Old Reliable China Store of J.
