For Meditative Mood.
Fear is fatal, courage is success.

In Brighter View.
Sadly signing, the winds are beginning to take their leaves off the trees.
There is a big difference between elevating the stage and holding up a railroad train.
Men shouldn't try to judge a women's dress. What they might think a fit a women would regard as a convulsion.
Our war vessels are properly talked of as of the feminnie gender. They seem so slow in getting ready.

ATHLETICS.
Come out earlier, more time for practice is needed, and must be found.
Baker has offered expenses to Hamilton, last year's full back of Marmaduke military academy.
Baker is playing hard ball. She has had the assistance of Goodale, Amherst's half back, for several weeks.
M. S. U. complains because Ann Arbor does not play the winner of the Thanksgiving day game. Ann Arbor probably judges from precedence.
Profs. Scott, Harshbarger and Chavis from the faculty, and Mason, McEachron and Boughton representing the students, constitute Washburn's athletic board for 1893.
The plans for a local field day this fall are being discussed by the athletic committee. In this all foot ball men will be barred. The reason given is to bring out new material.
The only change in the foot ball rules of 1893 occurs in rule 30一“The snapper back is entitled to full and undisturbed possession of the ball." Last year the snapper back held but half the ball.
So far no change has occurred in the provisional team. They have improved greatly in interference, but tackling is still a weak point. The committee are discussing the advisability of an hour's practice for the 'Varsity in the morning.
The second eleven will probably be chosen this week. The work of this team has been very favorably criticised, in fact too much praise cannot be given to these men, upon whose efforts the success of the 'Varsity so largely depends.
If possible the management will arrange a game with the Y.M.C.A.eleven of Kansas City for next Saturday, October 7, on McCook field. This team has been reorganized with the addition of several 'Varsity men. They are practicing daily at Exposition park.
