It is proposed by a number of the leading citizens of Lawrence who saw the foot ball game Thursday, to give the Kansas team a big banquet in the near future.
A very bad piece of work was done by the students last Saturday night when they tore a $15 sign from the store of W. E. Cary and consigned it to the fire. Such work would become Comanches all right enough.—Baldwin Ledger.
An exchange with great fondness for Shakespearian quotations characterizes the four years of a college course as follows: Freshman year—"Comedy of errors." Sophomore year—"Much ado about nothing." Junior year—"As you like it." Senior year—"Alls well that ends well."
There has been some complaint of late on the part of the girls concerning the dirty condition of the place about the water cooler. It is very disagreeable for the girls, especially those who eat their dinners at the University to drink at the water cooler in the main hall. They would prefer to have one by themselves.
Capt. Crawford gave a lecture before a good-sized audience Wednesday "Rem'i inescences of Yale." He kept the audience intensely interested for an hour and a half. His extemporaneous way of presenting things was captivating.—Baldwin Ledger. Too bad, isn't it that Crawford had to go back to Ann Arbor "to resume his studies in the law school,"

It is said that the reason the comet was not seen in Lawrence was because it went through on the schedule time of one of the Santa Fe fast trains, which are "out of sight" as to speed and equipment.
Why does the Santa Fe carry most of the passenger business in and out of Lawrence? Because it has eighteen daily passenger trains and gives the best satisfaction to the traveling public.
The result of yesterday's games proved that it was good generalship on the part of the University eleven to throw the game with Baker and reserve full strength for Columbia. They "stooped to conquer."—Lawrence Record.
The reserved seat sale for the appearance of Fanny Rice at the opera house in "A Jolly Surprise," tonight has been unusually large. The features of the play are all new and original, especially Miss Rice's great cabinet novelty, in which she impersonates, with the aid of doll figures, the great European and American singers.
CHAMPIONS OF THE WEST.
Kansas Defeats Missouri and Wins the Pennant-A Great Game-Six States at our Feet.
The foot ball game of 1st Saturday between Kansas and Missouri was won by our team in a well-played game. It was without doubt the most scientific game of foot bail ever played in the west and clearly demonstrated the superiority of the Kansas team over their old time opponents.
It was a very exciting and close game from start to finish and was witnessed by at least five thousand people. Of this number Columbia contributed perhaps four hundred. Old gold and black was everywhere upon the ground. Its bearers displayed more confidence than a college crowd usually manifests. But they were doomed to disappointment and sorrow; disappointment for the loss of the game and sorrow for the loss of *p* great many good sized bills which over-confidence led them to bet with Kansas City sports. The old gold and black were simply alive and overflowing with mischief. They had great big trumpets, seven feet long covered with their colors, which one man lugged about while another emptied his lungs into its vacuum, and then they had any number of those small discordant horns and more than the crowd to back them.
Kansas in this last respect was decidedly in the minority, but "Rock Chalk" nevertheless could be heard and that distinctively.
There was one man hurt, Anderson, Missouri's quarterback, had his collarbone broken.
Missouri put up a stiff game, but she did not have the experience which 'Varsity has had during the season'. However it can be said and without hesitation that our enemy gave us a harder game than any team we have tackled this year.
The 'Varsity put up its regular game of ball. There was but one substitute played.
Champin, Platt, Shepard, and Kinzie put up an immense game. Kinzie made the crack play of the game, running just sixty yards and making a touch down. Platt did some fine blocking during this run. Shepard's tuckling and Mendel's runs were also greatly appreciated.
By winning this game we win the pennant, a gold cup of the Western League composed of Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas. Besides being the champions of the above four states, it might be added that Illinois and Colorado are also on the list.
The day, while perhaps a little chilly for spectators was certainly an ideal one for the players. The grounds were in excellent condition.
Missouri... Positions... Kansas
Goalin... Left end... Springer
Thompson... Left tackle... Mattson
Vance... Left guard... Hammill.
Councy... Right guard... Coleman
J. W. 'hompson... Right tactile... Hundt
Brieglet... Right back... Mendell
Anderson... Quarter back... Shepard
Tom Siawhan... Left half back... Champi
Tom Siawhan... Half half back... Champi
Asendorf... Full half back... Platt
Promptly at 3 o'clock both teams appeared upon the field, and lined up as follows:
Kinzie won the toss and chose the north side of the field.
Missouri takes the ball and advances a few yards on the V; nine yards gained in two more trials and then Shawhan fumbles the ball, but Missouri picks it up.
Again a lively tussle follows. Missouri bucks the center five consecutive times, gaining twenty-four yards, then the ball
is fumbled and Kansas gets the pig skin. Kinzie is sent around right end, but fumbles to Missouri. Six yards are gained when again Missouri fumbles and Huddleston falls on the fall. The boys' hands are evidently numb from the cold mist which is falling. Champlin is sent around left end twice in succession for a total gain of seven yards. Then Matterson makes a run of thirty-two yards. A wild yell of "Rock Chalk" is heard from the grand-stand. Nine yards are gained through the center by Williamson; Champlin gains twenty-nine yards in five consecutive trials, and Williamson goes through the center with a touch down. Time 20 minutes. Piatt kicks a goal.
The excitement is intense; crowds leap down from the grand stand and gather upon the field in such numbers as to greatly bother the players. Both teams withdraw until the field is cleared. After the field is cleared the struggle begins again. Gains are made by both sides, but the first half is called with the ball in Missouri territory, where it had been most of the time since the touch down.
During the first half Shepard distinguished himself by some fine tackling, several times downing his man from flye to ten yards back of the line.
But ten minutes rest is taken the players preferring the field to inactivity in the cold.
SECOND HALF.
Kinzie takes the ball, forms a gridiron and Champlin gains fifteen yards. Kinzie adds twelve yards more and Mendeli makes a run of twenty-three yard and scores a touch down, but Mendeli is called back on account of alleged foul tackle by Piatt, and Missouri is given the ball.
From this on Missouri makes constant gains until she comes within ten yards of the Kansas goal line; here a desperate fight is made, but slowly and surely Missouri advances and finally a touch down is scored on last down by Asendorf, who jumps over the heaving, struggling mass. But a goal is not kicked and the score stands 6 to 4 in favor of Kansas.
The play of the day follows. Kansas takes the ball and gains 30 yards; then Missouri gets possession of the pigskin, forces it 55 yards to the line; only five minutes remains.
Will Missouri make another touch down? Both teams fight hard. Finally Kansas takes the ball on downs. A wedge is formed, 3 yards are gained; then another wedge is formed but it is not the intention to send the ball through; instead, Kinzie takes it around the right of the pilling mass of humanity. Nobody but the Missouri fall-back sees him as he hops from the crowd with Piatt by his side to guard. Ascendor makes a dive but Piatt guards well and Kinzie runs 50 yards scoring a touch down. Piatt kicks a goal and the score is 12 to 4 in favor of Kansas.
Time is called and the grandest game ever played in the west is won by Kansas.
If Kansas had not made special preparations to win this game Missouri would undoubtedly have won it. It is well then that K. U. sent a team of substitutes to play Baker and saved her best men for this all important game.
Arrangements have been made for a grand exhibition game with Ann Arbor College at Kansas City.
NOTES.
Profs. Green, Adams, Franklin and Blake of the K. S. U. faculty were there. There were at the game yesterday 225 students of the Missouri State university
and 150 students from Kansas State University. A delegation of fifty wearers of the crimson came down from Topeka.
The happy face of Chancellor Snow beamed with joy whenever his boys made a gain.
Nobody shouted louder for K. S. U. than Phil Knowlton of the Newton Republican.
Russell Whitman, the K. S. U. tennis champion, who won in the Dykington tournament in this city in 1891, attended the game.
The wearers of the yellow and black outnumbered those who sported the crimson, but nevertheless the Kansas contingent was not outdone in enthusiasm. It seemed as if when a red stocking got through the line of Missouri's sturdy sons the "jay hawk" vells perced ears at as great a distance as the 'Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Miss-soe ree'" from many hundred more throats.
Mr. Ed Little, whom President Harrison recently made consul to Cairo, wore yards of the crumson of his Alma Mater. Mr. Little leaves at once for Washington and then proceeds to his duties in far off Egypt.

The Kansas City Times says of our foot ball team. "Piatt, with all his faults of foul tackling and rough playing, is a great foot ball player. He does not play much of a kicking game, but his interfering and blocking are fine. He is a great man to buck the line, too, and should make a great half back. He is a good goal kicker and has in him that inborn something which makes great foot ball players or great players of any kind of game, whether it be the game of life or a match on the gridiron field. He is a born foot ball player. Another man on the Kansas team of the same character is Champlin. He plays like a duck takes to water. He would be eligible to almost any team in the country, Yale or Harvard not accepted. A good mate to Champion is Captain Kinzie, who combines a cool head with the ability to play good foot ball. On the end Kansas has two good men in Shepard and Springer. Matteson is a good man in his place, but has faults that in fast company would be more noticeable than in the company he is required to play in now. The team plays well together and though not much strategic work is done what little is used has proved very successful.
