The students in mineralogy are being provided with blue-prints of the crystals they are studying.

The preparation of these prints, however, is considerable extra work for Prof. Hay worth.
Dr. E R. Garvin, of Denver, visited the University on Thursday last week. We incidentally learned that he is in the base ball team of Denver. He says: "We have a pretty strong team," but when Prof. Sayre introduced him to Coleman he said "I will go and see your boys play this afternoon."
Unity Club gave a very pleasant "tea and handshaking" at the Unitarian church last Wednesday evening. The club was reorganized and officers were elected for the coming year. The winter's program is to consist for the most part, as it did last year, of lectures and amateur theatricals. The club has a stage and costumes of its own for the presentation of its plays. A good series of entertainments may be looked for from the club this winter.

A SPLENDID VICTORY
The Foot Ball Season Opens With a Sweeping Victory of 20 to6.—Another state Added to the Conquered Friends.
Amid flying streamers and tooting of horns, over 3,000 persons witnessed the foot ball game between the K. S. U. team, the champions of four states, and the Denver Athletics, the champions of Colorado, at Denver, Saturday, Oct. 15th.
No. 3.
The large grand stand was crowded with spectators long before 2:15 o'clock and the rope around the grounds was stretched tightly by the surging mass, anxiously awaiting the coming of the "Jay Hawkers," as our boys were called. Fully one-third of the crowd was composed of ladies in the full glory of autumnal fashion, bedecked with cherry and black, the colors of the Denver Athletic Club.
On the south side the students of the State School of Mines had taken their position. Probably they had a grudge against the D. A. C.'s, for they joyfully declared themselves for our team. All through the fierce contest of an hour and a half their shouts of "Rock chalk" en-couraged our boys, and when at the close, the D. A. C.'s, retired to their dressing room, defeated, the Goldenites draw near and jeered them in wild, gleeful tones.
About 2:30 the K. S. U. team appeared and were greeted with cheers. "There comes the winning team," remarked a man in the crowd. And inlead they looked it. The Sun reporter said: "Their uniforms were old and worn, and here and there peeped out through many a crimson stocking, a bit of white, firm legs telling how the University boys had worked." About ten minutes later the Denver team marched into the field headed by Captain Field, and were loudly cheered.
John Babcock, of Denver, was chosen umpire and Archie Hogg of this place, referee.
The game was hotly contested from beginning to end. Thirty minutes after the ball had been put into play it was plainly evident that Denver had no chance against the "invincibles." Field, captain of the Denvers, did all in his power to manage his men so as to withstand the great rushes of our team, but to no avail. The slugging of Fillmore was noticed by all present.
Full-back De Witt did some fine tackling and made several grand stand plays. Spalding played part of the game with a broken collar bone. The D. A. C.'s backed team work.
K. S. U. played an excellent game. Their steady practice showed, and there was not a weak man in the eleven. The line was very strong and could hardly be broken.
Captain Kinzie's code of signals was intricate and meant everything to his men and nothing to anyone else. The "grid iron" play was a success. Champlain, Kinzie and Piatt rushed repeatedly through the Denver rush-line, gaining at every point. Mattison and Mendell made fine runs around the ends while Huddleston, Hamill and Coleman did excellent blocking for them.
Quarter back Will amson and Shepard did admirable tackling and were applauded by the entire crowd.
That the light atmosphere of the high
altitude had no effect on our team was a disappointment to the Denver team. For upon this they thought to win the game. Our boys came out of the contest in better condition than did the D. Δ. C's.
Denver wins the toss and takes the ball, facing the west. They form a V and gain only five yards before it is stopped by K. U. By a series of rushes they gain about 20 yards. The ball goes to K. U. on four downs, when by the fine playing of Kinzie, Champlin and Piatt, the ball is taken back 12 yards. Then Mattten makes a 10-yards gain around left end, and Mendell 7 yards. The invincible, Champlin, gives the ball a lift of 8 yards by a fine opening made by Coleman and Hamil. Again Mattten makes a run and gains 15 yards. Three good plays through the center and Kinzie makes the first touch-down within sixteen minutes. Piatt kicks an easy goal. Score 6 to 0 in favor of K. U.
Now K. U. has the ball. Using the "grid-iron" play she makes 35 yards. Champ goes through the center for 7 vards. K. U. looses the ball on a foul.
Again D. A. C. makes a gain of seven yards with the wedge, and by a series of hard rushes making every time from two to four yards, they soon have the ball on the five yard line. 'With a desperate rush Berger makes a touch-down and Field kicks a goal. Score 6 to 9'
The Cherry and Black punt the ball out of bounds, but Kinzie gets the ball. Champlia again goes through the center for 8 yards. Mendell makes the start play of the day by 45 yards around the left end and scores another touch down No goal. Score 10 to 6.
Time is called on the first half before either side scores
K. U. starts the ball with the Gridiron for an 8 yard gain. Piatt and Champlin carry it 17 yards. Through the desperate playing of the D. A. C our boys failed to advance the D. Again K. U. has the ball on the 25 yard line and with Kinzie and Champlin another touch down is made. Piatt kicks goal. With 16 to 6 staring them in the face Denver becomes very desperate, having given up all hope of out-winding our boys. Denver starts the ball and soon takes it down the field into a dangerous ground for the K. U. team. But by some tackles of Shepard, Dumm and Williamson, K. U. gets the ball and starts for another score. Soon the bail drops over the line and Denyer gives up all hope of winning. Piatt fails to kick goal. Score, 20 to 6.
In the short time remaining, Denver strives in vain to regain her lost ground. Everybody was in earnest and our team was making its way with pluck and determination. They were only 5 vards from the Denver goal when Umpire Babcock called "Time!" and the first of a series of foot ball games was ended, and K. S. U. had won by a score of 20 to 6. The trip to Denver was well worth the hard practice necessary to get a position
We went over the Santa Fe route. At almost every station we would yell "Rock Chalk! Jay Hawk! K. U.! The team left Friday noon, arriving in Denver the next day, just a few hours before the time set for the game. A delegation of the Denver Athletic club.net us at the depot and escorted us to the Palace Hotel, which was our headquarters during our stay in the city. The club had fine rooms, and what especially pleased the boys was the large gymnasium (something we lack at the University). We were driven over the city, which is indeed one of the most beautiful in the west. Our boys are very en-

The Celebration.
The Kansas University foot ball team returned home from their victorious Denver trip at 5:25 Monday afternoon. Anybody but a man both blind and deaf would have had no trouble in knowing this. The team was welcomed home. For half an hour before train time the streets were crowded with people going to the depot. Men, women and children went till it seemed as if the entire town was there. Most all carried tin horns; those who did not had good voices. Everybody wore the University athletic colors, and many of the merchants, touched by the enthusiasm of the crowd, threw out great crimson banners and words of crimson bunting to the breezes.
At the depot everything was not exactly quiet. The large platform was crowded from one end to the other. The Haskell Indian band was present and as he train pulled in the Karasas boys were welcomed with music and a mixture of other noises that would have been a credit to any savage tribe. The team was placed in a wagon decorated with crimson, 400 students took hold of ropes and the boys were hauled up the streets. The crowd was beheaded by a United States flag, the Indian band and a carriage containing Chancellor Snow, Prof. F. O. Marvin, president of the Athletic association, Prof. J. W. Green, member of the Athletic board and Prof. E. M. Hopkins, the successful manager of the foot ball team. The procession went as far south as Quinney street and then turned and the foot ball eleven was taken to Wiedemann's and banqueted. At night there was a bonfire and speech making and a good time generally till the rain came up.
