side. Dick turned to him, and said in a low whisper:
"Is Doc here?"
"Over there," said the boy pointing to the pier.
"Tell him" said Dick slowly and with great difficulty, "that I wont be able—to pay him all—of—them ten—dollars;but there's—a bag home—with eight—of them in it. Tell him as how-I'm-awful sorry;but he can take—the eight—and then-maybe he'll—let the other two go,—seein'—as I—got—his—girl out of—the water."
And the brown eyes grew dim, and slowly Dick's life ebbed away, like the last waves of the retreating tide.

Minnesota Game.
The first contest of the foot ball season has come and gone, and K. U. stands defeated. But the Courier wishes to extend its congratulations to the team.
For although the team added a defeat to her record; when all things are taken into consideration, no small credit is reflected on the team. The game after the first twenty minutes was a splendid exhibition, and the uphill fight of the K. U. players was a plucky one. The team played against no small odds, firstly, on the grounds of the home team; secondly, having no supporters to encourage there efforts; thirdly, the long and tiresome ride; and most important of all, meeting the strongest team of the northwest. But for one unfortunate tackle the score would have stood 6-6: in the first half Harding was given the ball, and broke through between Coleman and Griffiths—Piatt failed to bring him down, thus affording him a clear field to goal.
Again luck was against us; the ball was at Minnesota's ten yard line, an-off side play by Madigan, unnoticed by the referee, lost us two yards and a down; the next down failed to advance the necessary five, and the ball was lost. Toward the end of the game Coleman retired, owing to an injured hip; Armor taking his place and putting up a fine game. The work of the new men deserve especial mention, their tackling was clean, and interference fair.
With the exception of Harding's run, the longest gain on end plays was made by Shellenbarker for about six yards.
Both teams sent men around the ends time after time, but in vain. In fact the whole game was but a grand exhibition of center plays. As Ann Arbor plays Minnesota October 28, our chances for November 25, can be calculated very closely.
