The Vox Studentium thinks Winfield is becoming a college town because lots of preachers are moving there.
Something unique in the way of Kansas journalism is Kansas Newspaperdom, published by genial Ewing Herbert, of Hiawatha. The publication is designed for an organ of Kansas newspaper men and their doings. Vol. I, No. 1, lies before us. It contains a half tone cut of William Allen White, so well known in K. U., and gives a history of his life and literary work. It also has complimentary remarks on Russell Whitman, E. Bert Smith and Frank Marshall, all of whom are K. U. men. The influence of the University is being felt in the field of journalism.
ATHLETICS.
FACULTY 10, SENIORS 9.
The haughty upper classmen, who are noted in the University as all that is good and noble, headed by their representatives in base ball suits, appeared on McCook field last Saturday with all the dignity accorded them by Juniors after their recent defeat at the May pole, and with much ease and agility pranced about among their admirers. After a time the team went upon the field and with more ease did these mighty Seniors throw the ball about the bases. In fact, so much skill was shown that the multitude shuddered to think of one of our advisory committee, who with eight other members of our University faculty, was to play against this august body. The much noted Hector Cowan, "who for twelve long years has met upon the arena," etc., was sore afraid, and it was said that he spat upon his gloves in many spots whilst, as we have said before, these lordly Seniors were "limbering up."
But after the game had been begun it was seen that the faculty had sneaked a "rabbit's foot" into the grounds and that it was pulling for the said faculty in good shape.
The feature of the game was the superb base stealing of the faculty, nineteen bases being marked up to their credit by the scorer. This more than anything else won the game for them, although the Seniors made more errors and less hits.
Taking it all in all it was a good close game and highly interesting. The teams should be highly complimented for their good work.
The game started with the Seniors at the bat. Hogg went out, Kellogg to Adams; Harvey struck out and Buchan gave McClung a fly. The faculty showed up better in their half. Topping gave Sheppard a base on balls, Sheppard promptly running down to second in time to come in on Kellogg's nice single. Kellogg got to second on Harvey's muff of a thrown ball and when Cowan singled he took third. Cowan walked down to second and Howells gave them both a base on a passed ball. Topping in order to keep even allowed Cowan to score by throwing the ball over Howells' head. McClung went out, Topping to Piatt, and Adams struck out.
Score: Faculty, 3; Seniors, o.
The Seniors came up with blood in their eyes in the second. Howells hit a pretty single and Piatt hit the left field fence and got three bases, coming in when Cowan missed an easy one from first. The faculty failed to cross the rubber.
Score: Faculty, 3; Seniors, 2.
The Seniors did not want any more in the third, but the faculty was not so retiring, Cowan and Adams scoring.
In the fourth Howells and Piatt duplicated the second inning and the Faculty went out in the old "one-two-three" order.
Score: Faculty, 5; Seniors, 2.
Score: Faculty, 5; Seniors, 4.
The Seniors got one in the fifth. The Faculty began to hit the ball and run bases. They would get on first and run all the way round. When the Seniors found out what had taken place they marveled greatly among themselves and began to work, but the Faculty had scored four times.
The Seniors piloted a man across the plate in the sixth and the faculty went out with the first three men up.
In the seventh the crowd, kids and Seniors woke up and the fun of the day began. Canfield, who had been pitching a very steady game, seemed to lose control and was unable to put them over the plate. The Seniors began to score and when Harvey came in with the tying score the air was filled with the '94 yell.
Faculty, 9; Seniors, 5.
The faculty came up for their half and the way in which they started for it looked as though there would have to be another inning. Will Snow fanned and the gang yelled. McClung went out, Harvey to Piatt, and the push howled. Adams got a walk, stole second and third and things did not look so encouraging for the Seniors. Canfield came up with the responsibility resting on his shoulders and right manly did he do his part. He knocked a pretty single and Adams came home with the winning run. The Faculty congratulated each other and it is said that an "eighth" was the indirect result of the victory.

Harvard and Pennsylvania foot ball teams will almost certainly play next year in suits, the upper section of which will be made of moleskin, and the breeches of light leather.
The team was to have played at the Fort last Saturday but it looked so much like rain at eight thirty that manager Harding thought that he would not risk it.
