Business Managers.
Too much college politics this year. Last year was comparatively quiet but this year starts out with a cyclone the first thing.
The K. S. U. foot ball team will not have a walk over in its games. Practice is the thing necessary. We have a fine rush line and if they learn to tackle low and squeeze the ball we will not be entirely submerged,
LAST year 5 out of a possible 9 was what the Phi Psis had in the Athletic association. This year the corporation is not so close even if "in the past the leading fraternities had strenuously avoided any combination to run the Athletic association." Well this year they made a combination and the result is not an athletic association made up almost entirely of one fraternity.
A ROHRBACK, this is. Read it.
"The Journal regrets that the article in reference to the Athletic association of the University got into its columns yesterday. It is not the policy nor the province of the Journal to "take sides" in fraternity or University differences, and aside from the injustice that may be done by a prejudiced report, as the one in question plainly was, no good end can be subserved. Mr. Hadley, our University correspondent, will not make the same mistake again, and we trust that the strictures made in the article will be of no serious detriment to the cause.—Saturday's Journal.
The University is in a packed condition. Nearly every professor has double work to do. The rooms are crowded. Everything shows that we need a new building and need it bad. Our library facilities are none of the best in the library's present cramped quarters. The gymnasium is in a little 2 by 4 room. Everything in the University shows the need of a change to more commodious quarters. We wish to mention these facts occasionally so that it may be known and investigated by our next legislature.
Little children should not use
edged tools. ___
THE "Agrarian revolt" in K. S. U., against the leadership of the High High High Phi Psis is just. Though they may not have entrusted the officers in all cases into exactly the right hands yet, like all parties with newly acquired power, they did the best they could. The "disgruntled faction" this year will consist mainly of Phi Psis and this is far better than having the whole school except "Pooch Bah" Phi Psis is a disgruntled situation. The
time for an era of good feeling is near at haun if only the fraternities who have been running politics in the past will come down from the perch of bossism and ascertain that the majority are working for the good of K. S. U.
GENIAL "Jim" Challis is the joke man for this paper. Original work is required and "Jim" fills the requirements.
The pennant will wave from the dome of K, S. U. before this time next year.
What we Find Among Our Journalistic Friends
He's a clipper—the exchange editor. Yes quite a cutter.
It is stated that eighty per cent.of all men who have been editors of college papers have followed journalism as a profession—Ex. Deliver us.
The regents of the state university of New York created a department of university extension. The last state legislature appropriated ten thousand dollars for this purpose.
The High School Luminary of Kansas City thinks the Baker Beacon ought to have a cover. Purchase a blanket immediately Mr. Beacon and send a marked copy to "Sonny."
The Midland College Monthly commends the Courier's article against the practice of students boarding themselves while at college but gives us a left handed blow for getting angry at the Agricultural college.
The University Courier of Kansas State University, has begun to come to us again. It is a weekly and one of the liviest of our exchanges last year. We are glad to see it again, and will gladly exchange again. The Courier represents a live university.—The Hustler.
We can truly return the compliment.
The University Extension movement is still growing rapidly in America. The cities which have most recently taken up the discussion of this work have been Topeca, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri. Beyond the border the work is being undertaktn by Mount Allison University in New Brunswick.—University Extension.
The library of Williams' college is now kept open from two until five every Sunday afternoon. This is a most excellent plan as it gives the student an opportunity to do good substantial reading at a time when they have the most leisure.-Ex. The library at the University of Michigan is kept open on Sunday afternoons.-Argus. How would it do here?
The practicability of telegraphing without wires has recently been demonstrated by the success of several experiments. Not long ago Mr. Preece, the head electrician of the postal telegraph system in England, succeeded in establishing communication across the Solent to the Isle of Wight, and telegraphed also across the River Severn without wires, merely using earth-plates at a sufficient distance apart. It is now proposed to make a practical use of this system in communication with light ships.
Prof. Blake how about this? Isn't Mr. Preece encroaching upon you? Blow your fog horn at him.
Foot Ball Advice From a Player.
Foot Ball Advice From a Player. An old player was out on the grounds the other day watching the boys in their practice game. He was very much interested and was full of advice which he wanted to deliver to some one, a foot ball player if possible, but if one of them could not be induced to stand and listen to his eloquence he was perfectly willing to educate the crowd.
"Now," said he, "one of the chief things in a game of foot ball is keep the ball; no matter if you fall and twenty men fall on you, keep the ball. Fall on the ball and keep it for your side even if you get two or three ribs broken. Now look there" continued our loquacious friend "see that fellow there with the blue cap 'tackling' around the shoulders. That is wrong, the runner can easily thrust him off or squirm out of his grasp. He ought to "tackle low" then his man is down. The fellow who take a runner around the hips and throws his whole weight upon him he is a terror to runners. I've seen many a game saved by this low tackling. It ought to be the watchword of the game." What are the requisites of a good team, we asked thoroughly interested. "Well the main requisites at the center of the rush-line are trained weight with ability to takle and fall on the ball. In the end-rushers more speed is required and sure tackling. The quarter must possess a rare combination. He must be a sure tackler, a good runner and dodger, a sure catch, a swift and sure passer and above all possess an unusually clear head and sound judgment. He should know the signals for the different tricks as he knows his alphabet. He controls the game. The halves must be good runners and dodgers, sure catchers,sure tacklers and fine drop and punt kickers. They must have nerve. The full-back should not know how to mufi a ball or miss a tackle. He should be a fair rusher and fine punter."
We concluded that we had learned the game and moved on leaving him discussing the advantages of foot ball over all other athletic sports to an admiring crowd of would be foot-ballists.

Will White, everybody knows Will, of the El Dorado Republican made quite a hit politically throughout the state in his article entitled Colonel Hucks. It was a very pointed drive at the alliance and its fallacies.
