Prof. Blackmar will deliver a lecture next Tuesday evening at the M. E. church on "The Old Missions of New Mexico and California," which will be illustrated by Prof. Blake.

The Professor has written a book in which he touched this subject and besides he resided for several years in California. Remember the evening.
The Review this month will contain a symposium from the gifted pens and fertil brains of our prominently endowed seniors. The subject is: "If man becomes less emotional as he advances will be therefore become less moral." There will be a great casting about of brains over this. We would suggest to the seniors that they did before the last Review, and discuss the matter, arrive at a concensus of opinion and enlighten an eager public with out a dissentient opinion. Great and mighty are the seniors, they ought to adopt a class cane to aid them in carrying such mammoth domes of thought
Last Friday evening will always be remembered by the old Phi Psis and will be especially remembered by the new members of that fraternity. It was the annual initiation. A large number of alumni were present and the gathering proved most enjoyable. The initiates were Brinton D. Woodward of Lawrenc, Claud R. Kelsey of Atchison, William F. Dunn of Kansas City, and Maurice L. Alden of Kansas City. After the initiation a spread was served at Weidemanns.

A Tragedy in Two Acts.
SCENE 1: --- Foot ball grounds at Baldwin.
Chief of Brigades: ---
"Twas base collisions
ACT I.
And by worse decisions,
that we our gossie did lose
Our balm my anguish soothes,
We have not打 it all
We have! we have the ball." Small Ruiser:—
"Not so, Oh noble lord
There come across the sward
A lot of Baker's fops
Gunting hither, great big niger cops Bestow, within this charriot old Protected by the crimson bold That ball, our all."
"For I will die in bloody strife
And yield ere ball, my life."
Chief of B:-
Pious Pia:-
But we have got to start." (He hides with stealth
"It misgives my heart
(He hides with stealth
His Dudgeon Chief Monk:—
As crowds are seen approaching there.)
His lately stolen wealth And disappears as if in air
As bursts the roar from geyser wells.)
Pious Pia:
His Duggeon Chief Monk:
"Hold dastards, hold the deed is done
And we the victory fairly won.
Return to us that leather ball
Our by our faith, your heads shall
fall."
(Pious Pia, he of kicker's fame
Proud drew up his mighty frame.
His voice from out his bosom swells
*Proud priests, from this wagon top.* I do defy each nigger cop.
Though each be armed cap a pie
From groyeling minions I ne'er do fly.'
(And as these words he proudly spoke
There came ker whack;—A wagon spoke.
The dust it flew from Pia's coat
Like moss from oak by lightning
No.10.
Ready Whittle:—
The dust it flew from Pia's coat
Like moss from oak by lightning smote)
"Ahack! alas! that I should see
Ah me! this is a sorry day."
(The horses plunged, the crowd did yell
And Pea from his station fell;
Then Fred Ricks did raise his whip on high
And smote a prep arcross the eye.)
Chorus of Monks: —
"Boil'em in oil!
Cover 'em with soil
Daaang 'em
(The restive steeds
Boil em in oil Coner 'em with soil
Haayng cm:
/The restive steer
Haava ngə 'em'"
"My blood with fear runs cold
Our lives it seems we can not hold"
(A bell that chimes is heard
Winsome Win:—
Like cow bell in a distant herd.)
Chorus of Monks: —
"It is! It is the yesper bell
Bo engage and mature you severely.
Bb break the call by bell that rings
as clearly.
We really would like well
To engage and injure you severely
With majestic solemn march
The frightened steeds are brought
The frightened steeds are brought And barns quickly sought.)
They form a curious arch
They form a curious arch
SCENE II—SPECTACULAR.
In the far distant north a cloud of dust raised by the departing troop of brig-ands obscures many miles of good Kansas soil. In the nearer view is a wagon that recedes from sight with a hurtling swish and a sound of rapidly rolling wheels. Pious Pia is seen in the chariot with arms crossed shouting what sounds like prayer. In the foreground are seen
the monks kneeling as if in prayer. A dull red gloom envelops the whole, ending with a display of vocal fire works, the center of which is the cause of all, that ball.

BAKER VS. WASHBURN,
Washbura and Baker opened the foot ball season at Baldwin, Saturday. The COURIER sent a special man to report the game for K. S., U. people. Baker has the best rush line but Washburn has the best half backs and render the prettiest runs. Both teams have something to learn about blocking and trickling and in last Saturday's game did not do any punting. Washburn took the bit between her teeth and kicked a goal within ten minutes. Baker then makes two touch downs, no goal kick. Washburn takes two good runs and a touch down is made. A goal is kicked. Baker secures another touch down and the first half closes 12 to 12.

The second half is a hotly contested battle. Washburn kicks goal. Baker get double the number and adds a touch down. Washburn was nearly to the goal when game was called. 28 to 18 in favor of Bazer was the score.
