This is the K. U. record for the 1903 season, five won and three lost.. Taken all in all the record is the best since '99. Of course the schedule has not been as hard as last year's but everything leads to the conclusion that we have a much stronger team than last year. The game played by K. U. against Oklahoma and Nebraska was probably as good foot ball as any K. U. team has played for four years. To make this a more successful year we must beat Missouri at Kansas City Thanksgiving Day.
The scores of the two teams lead to the conclusion that Kansas will win, for while Kansas has lost some games, Missouri has lost nearly every game on her schedule. But we know how Missouri always bobs up on Thanksgiving. No matter how poor a showing the Tigers make during the year, they build up to their big game, always playing their very best at Kansas City.
Weeks will have two things to fight against now, stalency and over confidence, either one of which would cause Kansas to make a poor showing.
The coach is providing against the first by short practice and much rest, and the older players ought to be able to tell about what over confidence will do for the men. Outland's '01 team lost the Missouri game just on that account.
The lineup against Missouri will be about the same as against Nebraska: Center, Michaelson, guards, Ackerman and Bruner; tackles, Donald and Allen; ends, Fleishman and Hicks; quarter, Pooler; halves, Chappell and Rice; fullback, Brumage (capt).
ALBERT HICKS is 23 years old,5 feet 9 inches in height and weighs 165 pounds. Hicks has played three years on the 'varsity at end, is a law student and hails from Beloit where he played four years on the high school team.
CHAS. D.ISE, half back, is 23 years old, 5 feet 8 inches in height and weighs 168 pounds. He comes from Downs and has had considerable foot ball experience. He is a sophomore in the art school.
ALPHA BRUMAGE, captain and fullback, is 23 years old, 6 feet 11 inches in height and weighs 172 pounds. He played four years on the Beloit high school team and has played three years on the 'varsity at tackle, end and back. He is a senior law.

THE PICTURE EXHIBIT.
Every student owes it to himself to use the opportunity afforded by the presence of the picture exhibit to stimulate his interest in things artistic; for no one is roundly and broadly educated or rightly cultured who lacks at least some degree of appreciation of the beautiful work of great artists who represent the graphic side of art.
One may look at these pictures and be disappointed or puzzled and may be tempted to give expression to such feelings and to leave the gallery not to return; in which case it is the picture which sits in judgement on the would be critic. The wiser one will recognize that there is here gathered some of the best work of great artists from several parts of the world, men and women whose very lives have been put into the canvases they have painted and the plates they have etched; people who have recorded the results of their insight that others may be led into seeing and feeling the same beauty that has influenced them.
These pictures will not yield up their treasurers to the casual onlooker who can do the gallery in twenty minutes—they are too great for that. But they do have bounty in store for those who cultivate their acquaintance and try to understand their message. One levels up to the thought of the artist by degrees, and every new discovery is a source of delight because it is an evidence of a change, a growth in oneself—so a picture that at first may be meaningless afterwards may become a pleasure and a joy.
In making a study of these pictures it is important to remember that they are much influenced and modified by the way in which they are lighted, so they need to be seen at different times of the day if one is to catch them at their best. As an instance, Franz Stuck's "The Wild Chase" is not easily made out in a half light, when a little after noon, when the son strikes it, the whole scene comes out wonderfully, with all its weirdness accented, and the horse and its rider seem to project themselves forward out of the frame.
In the catalogue list there is not a painters' name that is not celebrated in art annals, but there is space here to call attention to only a few pictures.
The "Clouded Sun" by Geo. Innes and the "Sunset at the Ford" by the same artist, the latter in the Brynwood gallery which Mrs. Woodward has so kindly opened at the exhibit, are fine examples of the work of the greatest of all American landscape painters.
"The Wreck," by Winslow Homer, and "The Keeper of the Threshold," by Elihu Vedder, are representative of two Americans who are distinctively origi- continued on page 1.
"ALABAMA"
Something About the Play to be Given
Tuesday Night.
In Madison Square Garden, on April 1, 1890, Augustus Thomas gave to the public his play, Alabama. A strong cast was chosen to present the play, among its members being such well known actors as Holland, Stoddard and Barrymore. The play was well received and for several years toured the country successfully. It has since become a favorite with stock companies.
"In undertaking "Alabama," the University Dramatic club has set ahead of former years. Entirely unlike last year's production, "A Night Off," which was replete with situations appealing to any audience, the play this year is sentimental and depends for its success upon the careful interpretation of parts by the members of the east. Each character in the play has his own individuality, in marked contrast to all the others, and it is the difficult work of interpreting, faithfully, this individuality to the playgoers that "Alabama" must look for its success.
The scene of this play is laid in the title state. Its principal theme is sentiment brought into contrast with business enterprise. It shows us people of the same country, yet as widely different in views as if of different races. Very skillfully Mr. Thomas has worked out his plot that the audience can sympathize with both sides at once, and yet they are widely separated. There seems to be no ground for agreement between the enterprising northern railroad projectors and southern land owners who cherish with unabated vigor the resentment of the North's invasion of twenty years before. In the end, however, humanity triumphs. Several love themes thread their way through the main plot, and serve to make each character contribute his part to the unified whole.

NO.11.
Two prominent newspaper men will address the class of journalism, before the holidays. On Nov. 23, Ewing Herbert will speak on the "Organization and Administration of a Newspaper." On Dec. 26, W.C.Lansdon will talk on "News Matter." Several other lectures will be given later.
NEWS ITEMS.
The medical classes began dissecting Tuesday under Dr. Hoxie. Dr. Strong has appointed W. G. Benson student instructor in Education under Prof. Olin.
Many old students were in the city last Saturday to attend the football game.
In chapel Monday, Chancellor Strong praised the football team for the magnificent playing it did against Nebraska. He also thanked the student body for its behavior toward the visitors.
Secretary Folks has returned from his trip east and was successful in securing the admission of apparatus and laboratory supplies from foreign lands free of duty.
Prof. Joseph Jastron of the University of Wisconsin will deliver a free address in University hall next Monday evening.
A play easier to present might have been chosen, but as one calculated to bring out real dramatic talent "Alabama" could not easily be improved upon.
The dress rehearsal Thursday night showed the good results of careful work and competent direction, and assures the fullest measure of success for the members of this years' dramatic club cast. It is worthy of notice that in the presentation of "Alabama" Prof. Frazier and the cast are putting on a finished play in less time than ever before in the history of university dramatics.
The registration this year at the University of Wisconsin is 2,370. Last year's figures were 2,122.
