112 The Courier-Review. LOGALS. Martindale's luck has changed. Dave Eliston was on the hill Tuesday. Get Todd to tell you of the birthday party he attended. The two weeks "go as you please" mechanics quizes are over. Tad Young the banjoist is making his home at the "nursery." Miss Pugh and Mr. Adams, of Topeka visited Miss Chandler Wednesday. Jack Cracraft will make a trip to Texas and the Gulf during the holidays. Mr. Sam Usher is training about twenty athletes for the indoor meet, early next spring. The Phi Psi's have ordered some gross of "Brownie Pins" to be given away on the trip. The Kappas gave Miss Madge Fisher a farewell reception as she leaves for home not to return this year. As the result of a "set to" Johnny Watson's face is severely scratched, while he says Andy Euart lost some hair. An amusing trick was played on the local editor, he was presented with a jug of poisoned cider. It nearly killed him. Adams will soon make an extensive trip including Baltimore where he will read a paper before the National convention of Geologists and from there to Yale. Major Buchan inspected the batallions of our national guard at the rink last week. The major wore a combination uniform of zouave, scout cadet and boarding school style. Fifteen gallons of cider mysteriously disappeared from a citizens premises. The sheriff has a warrant for the arrest of the parties. Interesting developments are hourly expected. A party of congenial souls enjoyed an oyster supper the other night at the expense of one Edwards who had been worked by the aged but ever successful "strap game". Still Edwards says he reads the papers. The question for debate decided by the Nebraska University is resolved, That less weight should be given to precedent in judicial decisions. George Norberg,'92,visited Lawrence Sunday. All his old friends were delighted to see him. George owns one of the finest drug stores in Kansas City. The University Athletic Association has engaged Fred Funston to lecture at Bowersock's opera house on January 11th, on his recent two years trip to the Arctic regions. The lecture will be illustrated by 150 fine lantern slides made from photographs taken by Mr. Funston. The heavy rain on Saturday afternoon made it necessary to postpone Mrs. Kingsley's talk to the girls of the University until Monday afternoon, when she was greeted by a large and interested audience. The talk was upon the Influence of College Women and was both instructive and entertaining. Before the lecture it was voted that a formal vote of thanks be given Mrs. Brooks and Mrs. Weaver, to whose generous efforts the study and resting room, which has been provided for the girls, in the library building, is due. Several special gifts toward furnishing the room were acknowledged, among them a sofa pillow from Kappa Alpha Theta and a large rug from Pi Beta Phi. The Captain for " '95". As announced from the bulletin boards, the election of Captain for the seaaon of "95", was held on Friday. After a short discussion as to the best method for balloting, the vote was taken and the result announced by manager McKinnon. Armour was elected with Piatt and Matterson following. In electing Armour, the team has done its work well and will never have cause to regret what it has done. Amour is not only a good foot-ball player, but also a good all around athletie familiar with the methods and ways of training, and a man who has had not a little experience in that line. The COURIER-REVIEW wishes to extend its congratulations both to the team and to Mr. Armour.
