De Pauw wins the right to play Purdue, the champions of Indiana, by defeating Butler University, to the tune of 20-6.
Illinois lost to Northwestern University by the score of 12 to 10. Also Ann Arbor was defeated by University of Chicago 6 to 0.
Nebraska's first game is looked forward to with considerable interest; for she, alone of the four teams, has not yet appeared on the "gridiron."
According to the Chicago Inter-Ocean, the Chicago Athletic Club will play K. S. U. at Kansas City, November 11. This is a mistake, as the management has had no communications whatever with C.A.C.
If possible a game will be arranged for the second eleven, on McCook field next Saturday, with the Kansas City, Kansas, High School team. This team will be strengthened by the addition of several of the Y.M.C.A.eleven. An excellent game may be expected.
The game between the University of Minnesota and Grunnell college of Iowa, resulted in an easy victory for the former, 36 to 6. M. S. U. made four touch-downs in the first half. Madigan, Harding, Larson, and Bilden, did the work for Minnesota; Miller, King, and Darby for Iowa.
The last issue of the Hesperian contains a long article by Crawford, Ann Arbor '91, on Nebraska's prospects for the coming season. No better estimate of their present condition can be given, than the following extract from Mr.Crawford's article:
"I confess I was greatly disappointed at the material that presents itself. I had expected to find plenty of large, strong men, and on the other hand, I find the youngest and lightest crowd I ever saw on a foot ball field.
"Nearly every High School in the East has more strong and heavy men. In a very short time we shall have to face some strong teams, and I don't see how it will be possible for us to win without some heavier men for the center."
The way to knock the chinch bugs out Is just to grab one by the snout, Then bore a hole deep in his pate Sufficient to inoculate; Hold fast his legs, so he can,t squirm, Pour in a quart of cholera germ, Plug up the hole, leave him at ease Until he gets the dread disease; Then turn him loose among his mates Until disease exterminates.

To many who are of a nervous temperment, and otherwise, it is anything but pleasant to sit in a recitation room and listen to the rattle of the windows, especially when the student wishes to hear what is being said by the professor. This could easily be remedied by the University officials.
The natural history department of the University has just received as an addition to its museum, a magnificent collection of Central American insects, birds, mammals, plants, eggs, and shells.
This collection is the gift of George F. Gaumer, who has spent the last twelve years in Yucatan collecting for the British museum. Mr. Gaumer graduated from the University with the class of 1876. He was the first man to take the natural history course under Prof. Snow. While in attendance at the University, Mr. Gaumer was one of the most active members of the Natural History society, which then, took the place of the Science club. While collecting for other parties, he has always remembered his Alma Mater and now is able to present her with a complete collection of Central American birds and mammals. This collection is to be placed in Snow hall and known as the "Gaumer collection." It consists of 100 Yucatan insects, 5000 Yucatan eggs, 725 Yucatan birds, 108 New Mexican birds, 30 Yucatan mammals, 6 New Mexican mammals, 2 Kansas mammals, 351 sea shells, 706 land shells, and 1000 New Mexican plants.
Much complaint is made on account of the roughening effect of these first cold winds. It can't be prevented unless you have something like Raymond's "Cream of Roses" to apply after bathing.
