The game Last Saturday was, as had been expected, a very good one. The visitors put up a strong game as did also our boys. The Lawrence people who were saying last week "I'm afraid they'll beat our boys" discovered that there is little ground for their fears With our two best sprinters out of condition for hard work, it was impossible for our boys to make the brilliant end plays that have been so prominent in our other games this fall. Had our runners been in prime condition the game would doubtless have resulted in a victory for K. U. instead of in a tie.
THE matter of obtaining a University pin or button should be looked after at once, before any greater variety of emblems are introduced. The Senior class of the University of Iowa at a recent meeting appointed a committee of two to obtain the appointment of similar committees from the other classes and to organize a committee of the whole to take action in the matter of a university emblem. Why would not a similar plan be feasible here? At any rate, the first thing to do is to obtain the best design possible. If we had some one authorized to
receive designs, doubtless a great many original designs would be handed in, as many of our students have been thinking about this matter. Professor Clark has an original and very tasteful design.
THERE was lately, as many discovered to their sorrow, an outbreak of that very troublesome missing of hats and other small things left in the halls, which bothers us at times. Such occurrences happen, we think nearly always from carelessness. Some person hurriedly takes a hat similar to his own from the hooks and wears it away without noticing that it belongs to some one else. The owner of the missing hat takes some other hat, hoping that it may belong to the person who has take his, and so the matter goes on, causing great inconvenience to many. As a remedy for this state of affairs we suggest that every one exercise the greatest care to get his own hat, and if he cannot do that, that he take no hat at all. It is better for one to suffer the inconvenience than for many to suffer it, and besides, no one, even though he cannot find his own hat, has any right to take another's. A little more care will entirely do away with this bothersome disappearance of hats, rubbers, and umbrellas. There is another matter, which we wish
