line and repeated the play for the same gain. Conover and Young each tried the center, but Walker was well supported and held the line firm. The ball went to Kansas on downs. Hester made three yards through center, Wilson bucked the line for seven yards and again for four, Shellenbarger hit the line for three yards and Wilson dived through the line for ten more. Short gains by Steinberger and Shellenbarger landed the ball on the five yard line. Shellenbarger took the ball across the line. He missed goal and again the score was tied, this time 12 to 12.
On the next line up, Evans sent the ball ten yards to Griffiths. A crisscross from Foster to Shellenbarger gained five yards. Steinberger made another beautiful run around right end for fifteen yards. This time he wrenched his weak rnkle, but continued to play. Wilson and Shellenbarger hit the center for short gains and then the ball was passed to Hester. Piatt and Griffiths threw their weight against the line, it broke, and Hester was through in a moment and off thirty-five yards past the astonished Evans for a touchdown squarely between the goal posts. Shellenbarger kicked an easy goal, making the score 18 to 12 in favor of Kansas University.
Evans kicked off forty yards. Hill caught the ball, regaining twenty-five yards. Steinberger gained twenty yards around right end and Foster took the ball around left end for seven yards. Pope crashed through the line for five yards. Wilson made seven yards around left end. Shellenbarger went through the line for a good gain. Steinberger could not gain but passed the ball to Hester, who advanced it five yards. Piatt made a good gain and the ball was within four yards of Missouri's goal. There were seven minutes more to play but the game was called on account of darkness. The final score was Kansas 18,Missouri 12.

COLUMBIAN.
Clap, clap, slap, bang! is the way we greet the instructors and lecturers at Columbian Law School; and if the lecturer happens to be Justice Brewer or Justice Harlan of the Supreme Court, there is added to the usual uproar a chorus of yells that would do credit to the gallery gods of a theatre. We have one of the most effective noise-producing instruments ever invented. Attached to each chair, is a broad, thin board that can be placed across the two arms of the chair to support a note book. This board is, however put to another use. Its loose end can be brought down against the side of the chair with a resounding whack; and, when two or three hundred of these "slappers" are all going at once, the uproar of a Kansas State Oratorical Contest becomes as the faint sighing of a spring wind in comparison.
It is the students' privilege to make noise here. Whenever there is a slight disturbance anywhere in the room, it is immediately magnified a hundred fold by a chorus of "sh's" such as your mother used to make when she didn't want you to wake the baby. When any student wishes to leave before the end of the hour, and attempts to steal quietly away without attracting attention of fellow students, or instructor, a hundred feet keep time with him as he walks to the door. From the look on the lecturers' faces at times, I think these sudden thunderous outbursts must be distasteful to them, but they never make any remarks on the subject.
Columbian Law School holds all its sessions at night. As the work of the clerks in the government employ is not very heavy, many of them take advantage of the opportunity thus given them of pursuing some course of study while in Washington. There is a considerable number of schools and colleges here; and, as they depend chiefly on the government clerks for support, recitations are held at night to suit their convenience At Columbian Law School, lectures and recitations begin at six o'clock in the evening, and continue two or three hours, varying with different evenings. The method of instruction is, it seems to me, very similar to that of the Law Department of the University of Kansas. We have lectures by the instructors of the law school, in
