COMMUNICATIONS. There is a strong feeling that the advantages of the University are limited to the members of the various sporting teams. This is well founded and should be remedied, but nothing can be done for those who will not help themselves. The various sports, foot ball, base ball, boating and tennis have been looked after by the enthusiasts interested in each, and by the generous help of the friends of the students of K. U. over the state are now practically independent. They are all out-door sports, have good fields for both practice and match games and the facilities for keeping men in training through the winter months. They, the most important, on account of the advertising they give the school, have been provided for. Attention should now be given to the general health and exercise of every student in the University. Too many think "Oh! I'm coming all right, I don't feel good, but I've so much work to do," and study themselves sick. If everyone in the University would consider it his personal duty to "whoop up" the gymnasium we would soon have not only that but a director for it. Our friends stand ready to help us, manv of them appreciating our need more than we ourselves and the moment the students wake up and go to work with spirit the gymnasium will become a reality as McCook Field has. R. Once more we hear a little speculation about the oratorical contest. But is there to be nothing more than a little speculation? Is the University again to go down in ignominious defeat before the main colleges of the state? If she is not, something must be done, and done quickly; something which will awaken Mount Oread as she never was awakened before. For the past four or five years oratory has steadily declined in the University Various causes have been assigned for this decline, such as the decline of the literary societies, the lack of instruction in elocution and the abolishment of chapel rhetoricals. Probably these causes go far in accounting for it, but is there not another cause which has been largely overlooked, but which in reality has excised a very potent influence? Is it not the absence heretofore from the oratorical contests of the University of an element which never fails to awaken enthusiasm wherever it appears, and which as was shown by the interstate contest of last year is able at times to carry everything before it? What is it that can re-awaken the eloquence of the University of Kansas, if not the presence of the fair sex on the platform? Who is it that can brighten her fading glory if not the Kansas girls? Never in the history of the University has she been noted for the beauty, the intelligence and the argumentative capacity of her young ladies as at the present time. Now therefore, is the appointed time. Let the girls of K. S. U. come forward and do their duty. C. S. G. Science Club.

The second eleven can plav foot ball ANOTHER VICTORY. The Kansas Champions Defeat the Nebraska State University Foot Ball Eleven by Superior Team Work. The Kansas State University team played their second game of the Inter-State League series with the Nebraska State University eleven, at Lincoln, Neb., last Saturday, and as usual, came off victorious. But it was undoubtedly the hardest tussle our team has had the season. It was indeed a most disagreeable day for a game. A high wind, in fact almost a gale, whistled across the broad prairies of Nebraska, bearing with it clouds of dust which nearly blinded both the players and spectators. The grounds were in a bad condition. The Nebraska team being on the home grounds was the favorite, and naturally the scarlet and cream colors and the college yell of University Nebraska were more conspicuous than the crimson and Rock Chalk! Jay Hawk! K. U. cry of the Kansas eleven. Over on the east side of the field a delegation from Doane. College had taken their stand and the way they yelled for Kansas indicated that they had an old grudge against the Nebraskans. The game was very exciting. There was no slugging and both teams were in good humor from start to finish. The Kansas team was in bad shape and played two substitutes. They had heard a great deal about the effective work of "Uncle Jimmy" Canfield's colored half back, but went into the game determined to win, Kinzie and Springer did good work behind the line. Dum retired from left end early in the game and A. Foster took his place. Sheepard did not play his usual game because he had a sprained ankle. Flippin was the life of the Nebraska team. Without him the team could do nothing. Nine out of ten times Flippin made the play and generally made good rushes against the Kansas' line. But no man can win a game without proper support. K. U. won the toss and chose the south goal, having the advantage of the wind. Nebraska starts ball at center with a Vaud gains 10 yards. They soon loose ball on fumble. Matteon runs and advances the ball 30 yards. By series of scrimmages and rushes 35 yards more are gained. Nebraska gets four downs but fail to carry it toward their opponent's goal and ball goes to K. U. K U. puts the ball across the line and Platt kicks a goal. Score 6 to 0. Nebraska again has ball at center but soon loses it. Then the teams struggle for a long time before any gain is made on either side. At last Piatt punts down field. Mackett catches the ball and starts back, but is tackled and thrown so hard that the rubber sphere slips from his arms. Kinzie grabs the ball and runs halfway across the field and makes another touch down. Another goal is kicked and K. U. has 12, Nebraska 0. During the second half neither team scores, although they make desperate struggles. When time is called the ball was in Nebraska territory. BANJO heads are often made of the skins of asses and calves. The banjo players of the University might obtain good heads for their instruments if they would skin one or two of the Lawrence ward politicians. The players lined up as follows: NEBERKA. POSITION.

About a year ago it took a two day's trial in justice's court to acquit a young man of the heinous offense of saying "Boohoo" to a member of the city council and today comes the startling intelligence that thirty-four Baker University students were arrested the other night for giving the college yell on Main street. The boys were celebrating the return of the football team from their Denver trip. Most of the students are upper class men and the professors and students are very indignant that municipal authority should tyrannize in a college town. DIAMONDS, JEWELRY, ART STATIONERY.
