from among those best fitted for the task.
By all means, then, let us have a K. U pin. It would be beneficial to the student and to the University. In not having an official pin we are behind the times for every important college in the country has such an emblem. There is, this year, an unusually strong desire among the students for an authorized K. U. pin and consequently there will doubtless be a large attendance at the meeting. Let every student be present ready to suggest his plan for securing the best pin.
ATHLETICS.
IOWA 14, KANSAS 12.
The foot-ball game last Saturday. Nov. 3d, between the State University teams of Iowa and Kansas was one of the closest and most exciting in the history of the Quadrangular League. The Kansas boys arrived at Iowa City Saturday morning at 8 o'clock af er having been on the journey since Thursday afternoon, at which time they left Lawrence. The delay was caused by neglect on the part of the manager of the Iowa team to send transportation as had been agreed upon, thus detaining the K.U. boys at Kansas City Thursday night and all day Friday. The boys were somewhat used up by the long journey and inexcusable delay. As soon as the team had breakfasted at the "Kirkwood" Hotel they retired to their rooms to rest up a little for the coming contest. At 3 p.m. both teams were upon the grounds and the game was called after a little preliminary kicking.

Kansas won the toss up and chose the west goal, thus having the sun at their backs and giving the Iowa boys the eastern end of the grounds which had been partly submerged by the recent rains, leaving in the center a delightful puddle of mud and water some three or four inches deep.
The play in detail is as follows: Iowa starts the ball by a kick off of thirty-five yards and Shellenbarger returns ten yards with the ball by a good run. Wilson takes the ball through two yards on left tackle. Piatt punts and Iowa gets the ball. Iowa's left half-back fails to make a gain but atones for it by bucking right tackle for three yards. Fullback goes through center for four yards. Iowa on the next play fumbles the ball but gets it again and attempts to run but "Shelly" brings down the man by a good tackle and the ball goes to Kansas on downs: Hester makes two good gains on the center of five and seven yards. Wilson bucks right tackle for eight yards, followed by a gain of seven yards by "Shelly." Hill fumbles but recovers the ball. "Shelly" and Hester buck alternately and the ball goes to Iowa on downs. Iowa fails to make her five yards and the ball goes back to Kansas. After a series of plays by Hester, Wilson, Pope and Shellenbarger respectively, each for a good gain, Kansas fails on the xy play and Iowa claims the ball on a forward pass by Hill. Iowa fails to gain on three downs and K. U. gets the ball again. Wilson bucks the line for five yards but loses the ball which is recovered however by Armour. Armour attempts a run with the ball but loses it to Iowa. Iowa's left half makes a run of thirty yards on right end through mud ankle deep, and the right half gains five more Converse Iowa's right half now gains five yards on left end. Allen, full-back, bucks center for two yards followed quickly by a gain of ten more for Iowa. Right and left halfs buck alternately in quick succession but the K. U. rush line is invulnerable and the ball goes to Kansas on downs. Kansas now makes several splendid gains but soon loses the ball to Iowa on a fumble. Iowa however fails to gain on three downs and Kansas again takes the ball. Armour, Shelley and Wilson respectively, gain ground and the K. U. boys are steadily nearing Iowa's goal line with good prospectof of an immediate touch down. But their bright prospects are soon
