punts 35 yds. Ottawa making a free catch and by so doing get a free kick. Taylor kicks 55 yds. the ball going into the "Varsity" hands. At this time the Ottawa team had the ball in "Varsity" grounds, but this was about the only time in the second half. The "Varsity" soon carries the ball back into Ottawa territory and keep it there the remainder of the game-but could not score again. The game closes with the ball in Ottawa territory and the score 6-6.
It was a good game, but not a splendid game—the "Varsity" did not put up the game which they are capable of playing and the game which they have been playing, the interference not being particularly brilliant. Stone playing a great game at center and but few gains were made through here. Piatt and Shellenbarger both bucked the line well. Williamson did some splendid tackling and saved some good gains for the Ottawa team on a number of times. Griffith deserves a great deal of credit for getting himself in condition, having been playing but a short time. Wilson, Pope, Armour and Moody played their usual game. Steinbarger on account of his ankle tried his end run but once, not wishing to cripple himself for the league games which begin next Saturday.
The visitors deserve special mention for their systematic dirty playing—evidently the team has been well coached in this respect. At times even resorting to choking. Bedell, Taylor, Potter and Toomy played good ball; Taylor and Toomy making a greater part of the gains for the visitors.
It is hoped that a game may be arranged with Ottawa after the season, as the "Varsity" is not satisfied and feels that their superiority was evident, but they want a chance to prove it in a more convincing manner.

Physical Culture in the State University.
A systematic, gymnastical training department is comparatively a new thing in the University of Kansas. Until the spring of '94 there was but little attention paid to the developing of a student's body as well as his mind. Until this time there was practically no gymnasium connected with the University, with the exception, in a small, poorly ventilated room on the fifth floor of the main building one might have found some dumb bells and Indian clubs—but this was such an out of the way place that but few students ever found their way there, many not knowing that such a place was in the building. the result was that a great many hard working students took no exercise save that taken in walking to and from the University. In consequence a great many of our best students were very poorly developed physically, and in some cases the grade 1 student was almost a physical wreck. Of what benefit will the good education be to this student who will have no health to enjoy or apply what he has learned in going through college? Is it not much easier to first develop the body and then the mind, or better still, in developing the mind at the same time spend a few minutes each day towards developing the body, and in the end it will be found that the one who goes through college in this way will make the better success in after life, enjoying it as he goes along. How often the case with a student in college, the "blues," nothing more or less than a feeling caused by exhaustion and lack of exercise; how easily this feeling can be driven away; take some exercise. For instance, take a brisk walk or run, then notice the effect. You will find that after this your mind is clear, and that the "tired-of-life" feeling has passed away, and now you are in a condition to work with a clear brain.
The girls in particular, do not see so much out-door life as the men under ordinary circumstances; and when in college they usually see less. The result is they take no exercise, and after having been in college for a year or two they break down. The fact that but few girls are found in the Senior class seems to be some
