on account of having done something to raise the standard of the class and of the University, for an exhibition of class spirit is always a good showing for a University. The Sophomores started the inducement some weeks ago, and not until this week did any class call for foot ball players. The COURIER-REVIEW extends her congratulations to the little Freshmen for their call for foot players on Monday. Now that they have expressed the desire to play foot ball, the Sophomores will take them in hand and try to show them the fine points of the game. It is hoped that the Juniors and Seniors will take a brace later in the season, and at least try to play foot ball.
The organization of a class league would be the one thing to develop class spirit, and the lack of this is very evident in our University.
K. U. vs Ottawa.
The best game of the foot ball season in Lawrence will be played Saturday, and from the present outlook the attendance will be the largest of the year. And from a comparison of the two teams the people will witness one of the most hotly contested games ever played in Lawrence; aside from the foot ball ability of the two teams, is a large amount of feeling, the old Baker feeling with the addition of the feeling from Ottawa. There will be an excursion train run to Lawrence from Ottawa and a great number of people from both Ottawa and Baldwin will leave their duties to cheer and encourage the "yellow" of Ottawa University.
The Ottawa team is composed mostly of old Baker players, men who have played together for sometime and who are therefore in a condition to play foot ball from the start to the finish. The team is also strengthened by the addition of "Shorty" Hamill, who played on the "Varsity" last year. The team thus far has played but one game, but in this game they distinguished themselves and their playing in this game indicates some good playing in Saturday's game. At least, the game will not be won by either side until the time is called in the second half.
The playing of the "Varsity" men during the last week has given much confidence to the
students and citizens, and all who are interested in the welfare of our eleven, feel that before the season is over that we will be more than proud of the "Crimson" and that the team which will defeat the team of "'94" will be the best team in the west. The team has been strengthened by the addition of Piatt and Griffith, both of these men have proved to be valuable acquisitions to the team. Griffith will play guard, Piatt will alternate with Williamson, playing Quarter and Full.
The men who will play in Saturday's game are among the following:
K. U. Ottawa.
Steinberger. Taylor.
Pope. Toomey.
Moody. Potter.
Stone. Bedell.
Griffith. Pierson.
Fletcher. Allen.
Armor. Hamill.
Shellenbarger. Tyler.
Wilson. Moon,
Hester. Hamilton.
Piatt. Austin.
Williamson. Davidson.
Foster. Cambell.

Cowan
Umpire, Thos. Mastin, of Kansas City.
Referee, Geo. Revall, of Kansas City.

K U. vs. Haskell Base Ball.
Last Saturday there was rejoicing among the poor despised Indians. They had obtained redress for their wrongs suffered at the hands of the white men. They had revenged themselves upon the pale faces and buried the tomahawk deep in the pride of K.U. The white settlers from University hill had come out to battle with the Redman. They came out with pride in their hearts and confidence in their strong right arms, but they have been humiliated. The cunningness of the young brave Augusta failed the sluggers from Mt. Oread, and twenty or more long haired scalps dangle from his belt; a trophy to the speed of his twirling. With all his might and main did he hurl his tomahawk and with three wild gasps for a life did the proud white man give up the ghost.
All this is another way of saying that the colors of K. U., went down before the Haskell Indians last Saturday, partially through an in-
