The KANSAN will get reports of games elsewhere next Saturday for the benefit of its readers. The results will be pasted in the window of the KANSAN up town office at 639 Massachusetts street. The reports will be by wire from the Kansas City Star,
Why don't some ex-member of the Kansas National Guards get busy and organize a cadet corps here. It has been agitated long enough and Kansas is about the only big University in this part of the United States that hasn't a cadet corps. It is a good thing and the KANSAN is ready to do all it can.
It seems that Washburn never tires of making unbecoming remarks about the University. Some of the things said by the Washburn papers and students are altogether uncalled for and are grossly untrue and unjust. Washburn College is not in the University's class in any way whatsoever and this is the most plausible reason for the knocking.
If some of the students of some of these "unknown" denominational schools over some parts of this state should come up here some time and see what the University really has and how far above some of those little schools the University is, the attitude in some instances would be changed. Also if all came all would be converted.
Bender has at last been defeated and the reports say it is the first time since 1901. Bender must have been suddenly troubled with "buck" or 'mountain' fever when he went to
Colorado. Well Nebraska will soon have an opportunity to get a team now as Bender is getting old and will soon become too stiff to win very many more games.
What is the matter with the "rooting"at the football games? The Haskell supporters did better "rooting" than Kansas at the Haskell game and some Topeka newspaper men remarked about it to the editor. There should be some organization for 'rooting." It is needed and the victory often depends upon the grand stand support. Every other University has "Rooters Clubs."
The University of Kansas has as many prominent newspaper men among its Alumni as any other institution in the West. There are old K. U. men on all of the great Dailies in the East. In the Kansas City Star C.L. Edson's articles occupy the most prominent places on the feature page and he is considered one of the most valuable men on the Star. Marvin Creager is one of the head men on the World's Reportorial Staff at Kansas City. There are also well known Kansas University men on all of the Eastern papers.
Did you read the clipping printed in the last issue from the College Life. That was a nice thing for another school to say about the University. The College of Emporia is one of the University's best friends and the Presbyterians never fail to get on the side lines and "root" the best they know how for the 'Varsity when our men go to Emporia. The last time the University team went there to play the Normals the teachers started a free for all fight and the Collegiae helped the University. A friend in need is a friend indeed and K.U, appreciates friends at all times and everywhere.
No one but one who has been in the business knows what a newspaper man has to contend with. A writer cannot please everybody. It he writes, the

truth he will be criticised. If he writes a "shaded" story trying to hide some unfortunate true fact he is "roasted" for being a coward. No one knows how it is until he has been there. A reporter does not write articles for his health but for his living, and after he is in the business awhile he learns what the editor wants, the style of the paper, and the reporter knows that unless he conforms to the style and pleases the editor there will be a reporter out of a job. Some truths that have been put in the KANSAN have been called partisan write ups. If you do a wrong thing don't think you should be shielded because you live in the town where the paper is published. Anytime anything, no matter what, is printed in the KANSAN and is not true come to the editor and all will be made well but don't plunge into a thing and make it very important to publish facts and then say the writer was partisan. Don't get sore at the truth though it's the truth that hurts. Wear your own shoes; we are makers of truthful fits and no one can be corrupt or dishonorable and expect to always appear the opposite. The Lord didn't make people that way' and in His human carpentry the Lord did a mighty good job and said: "He that speaketh truth showeth forth righteousness, but a false witness deceit."
The editor is here to stand for what is honest, just and right, and to stand by what goes in the KANSAN and if there is any vocal damnation to be poured out, his office is in the library building, and his mind and body and soul are always open to honest convictions.
The game with Colorado next Saturday will be one of the hardest games of the season for Kansas. It looks very doubtful whether or not the Jayhawkers will even score. One cannot get a line on the Coloradoans except from the Nebraska game which resulted in a score of 6 to 0 in favor of the mountaineers. This would indicate, judging from last year and other records, that the dope is considerably in Colorado's favor.
Kansas did not put up her best game against the Indians and there are some good reasons why Kansas should win. This will be one of the "tale tellers" of the season for the Jayhawkers
and will be equally a "tale teller" with Colorado. If Kansas wins this we have every reason to believe that K. U.,will win the other games of the season. If Colorado wins the visitors will doubtless make a clean season of victories and they realize this.
The rub against Haskell was a good thing for the men. It had a tendency to nerve them up. They have met their most savage opponent of the season and no one was seriously hurt and the score could have been much worse.
More than one game has been won by "rooters." The thing for all students and supporters of the University to do is to turn out in a great mass Saturday and help the team to win. The KANSAN refuses to believe that the Jayhawkers are going to lose another game this season, but we all agree that there is an inestimable amount of hard work and earnest efforts to make a clean sweep for the balance of the season. They are all hard games and it will take more than the team to win. Let every one come out; here are only a few years in a life time that you get an opportunity to go to college and see University foot ball and help your team win.
