Sunflower Notes From the Kansas Colleges.
Prof. W. H. Carruth, of K. S. U. is earning a very enviable reputation as a referee in the inter-collegiate foot ball matches.—Highland University Nuncio.
A. W. Myers was the successful orator at Washburn college, last Friday evening.
Washburn, Baker, Normal and K. S. U. will be represented on the program of the State Teachers' association which meets next week in Topeka.
The college of Emporia recently beat Ottawa University in tennis. The singles resulted in favor of Emporia by the score of 6-1; 6-2 The doubles by the score of 6-4; 6-4; 6-4. The Emporia players were Byers and Church and the Ottawa men, Parker and Ganse. The play was not of a very high order.
In tennis—Now for Washburn,
Baker and K. S. U. next spring.
College Life.
As the athletic season closes the following may be considered leaders in the different lines. In foot ball the Baker eleven, by virtue of defeating the K. S. U. and Washburn teams, may claim the pennant as the Ottawa and Emporia teams will not dispute the claims with them. In base ball Emporia by virtue of annihilating the K. S. U. and K. S. N. S. teams, the only clubs who dared to oppose them, holds undisputed claim to the honor of being the leader. In tennis no inter-collegiate tournaments have been held that could point to the best team. While K. S. U. has concededly the best players, their right to the championship in negative rather than positive.-College Life.
It is highly probable that next spring will see the formation of a "triangular league" between K. S. U., Baker and Washburn for base ball, tennis, and foot ball contests.
ball, tennis, and foot ball contests. This is the way in which the Baldwin Ledger, a paper edited by Referee Morehead and his brother, reports the result of the last foot ball match. The comments at the bottom are from the Lawrence Record: "Now the score stood I2 to 10 in favor of Baker with only five yards between her and her opponent's goal, which undoubtedly would have given another touch down to Baker and probably a goal, but the time being called for a few minutes, Jimmie Atherton, who had the ball, gave in to the big ninny of a center rush to amuse him till the game was started again, who started across the field toward Baker's goal line, acting just like a little boy who had on his first pair of pants. The umpure and referee of course called him back as the ball was dead, the K. S. U. hoodlums would not have it that way, and had no more sense than to openly declare to Prof. Carruth that if he decided against them they would remove him from the faculty. So gentle reader, you can see for your self what sort of students they are who are declaring that the victory
belongs to K. S. U., notwithstanding both the decisions of the umpire and referee."
"‘Komments are onnecessary. If the young men of K. S. U. who grew enthusiastic over what they thought was a victory are called 'hoodlums,' it is natural to infer that those mildeyed 'doughnuts' from Baldwin who beat the poor woman at the Santa Fe depot out of what they owed her for lunch, are representatives of Baker."
Washburn's Orator.
The local oratorical contest at Washburn was held last Friday evening. The successful orator is A. W. Myers, of Paxico, Waubaunsee county. Mr. Myers is eighteen years old, a senior and was the editor of the Reporter last year. His Oration was entitled: "The American Idea," and is decibedly forcible and exceedingly well delivered. There were three other contestants, J. L. Posten, who spoke on "The Higher Law," W. M. Hawkins, on "Pope Leo I," and J. F. Lawson, on "Freedom and Federation." The judges on thought and composition were Hon. G. W. Winans, Hon. D. W. Wilder, Rev. Richard Cordley. On delivery, Hon. John McDonald, Hon. T. D. Thacher and Hon. Irwin Taylor. The following were the markings of the judges:
Thought and Composition.
Form of Rank
Hider ... 9
orderly ... 8
finance ... 6
Myers ... 53

It will be noticed that Lawson followed Myers very closely in thought and composition and that Posten followed very closely in delivery, each one being marked first by one judge.
The Same Story.
Walter Sears, a former editor of the COURIER, now enrolled in the Ohio State University, finds as does every one else that the University of Kansas stands well among the leading educational institutions. He writes, in an interesting letter which space forbids us publishing in full: "When I applied for admission into the Ohio State University the president, Dr. W. H. Scott, said: 'You come from a splendid school and whatever record of work you bring, it will be accepted without question. I am personally acquainted with Dr. Snow and Prof. Canfield and both are talented educators and amiable gentlemen.' When I appeared before Prof. Chalmers, professor of English Literature, he said: 'I know the character of the work of the Kansas State University and I must freely admit it is a work of worth and excellence. Whatever you have done will bear its full equivalent here. I am pleased to know Prof. Dunlap, a man of the most marked ability.'"
