SEVERAL PLAYERS who were to be in the line-up for Monday's game refused to play simply because they were not put on the training table. The matter has given rise to much comment; but it is not to be regarded as of vital importance, except in that it has discovered in time what might later have led to serious results. Suppose that the game of Monday had been one of the championship series. Men who lack the spirit that places university above personal interest and object to authority and discipline, are not fit for places on any university team or organization. Men who cannot be depended on are not wanted, and the sooner they are found out; the better for Kansas University.

WHEN THE Athletic Asso. ciation engages a man to coach the football team, they always select a man who knows his business. It is then the duty of every conscientious player and of every loyal student to stand by the coach as long as the coach is doing his best. No student, not even those who represent outside newspapers, is excused from the operation of this law, and no loyal student wishes to be. When petty differences of opinions arise, the newspaper reporter should be careful what he says. He should realize and appreciate the importance of his position and not misrepresent us to the public; especially by overestimating matters of little consequence.
If the football situation were to be thoroughly investigated one would find that never before in the history of the university athletics has there been greater harmony at the opening of the season. The university, the faculty, the athletic association, the coach, the players and the students, all understand each other—and all are apparently satisfied.

HOW TO GET and maintain a healthy, vigorous college spirit, is a question which presents itself for solucion to the management of nearly every school in our country. Ours is not an exception. How to prevent a fossilizing of societies, classes, fraternities, factions, so that hundreds of individuals may fuse their energies into one powerful irresistable momentum, is the problem before us. One of the influences that tends to bring about this result is football. On
the gridiron there is no class distinction. Brain and muscle win. While crowding around the grand stand, the Freshmen and the Sophmore, the Frat, and the Barb, the Law and the Engineer, each and all forget their class or social differences and join hustily in the good old Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U. Here at the grandstand all students may spend a pleasant afternoon, here, thoughts of books and laboratories are cast aside, and breathing in the spirit of the hills about them, students become conscious of a feeling that raises them above the individual. They feel in a true sense that the are members of a great university

The editor of the WEEKLY is in a quandary. Can you help him? He is trying to determine whether Alfred Austin, the laureate of England, is truly a great poet. You might study this effusion from his poem, "England's Darling," and then give him your opinion. The hours are noon.
The hogs are nosing in the mast.
The tegs are in the fold.
The norland flakes are flying fast.
And ch, 'tis nipping cold.
So let us to the steading slink,
Still trolling as we gang;
Now is the time for meat and drink
So let the world go hang.
A VOICE FROM THE FACULTY
DEAR EDITOR:I was glad to see your article favoring the playing of our Nebraska football game on our home grounds. A great many students cannot afford to go to Kansas City to see the game, and most of the faculty will spend neither time nor money to do so. Our football is a University game, and everything possible should be subordinated to getting as many students and members of the faculty as possible to see it. Only thus can we get for it universal approval and support. The goal toward which we should aim is ALL games on the home grounds of one or the other of the contending teams. Let us not go backwards in this matter. Instead of taking an additional game to Kansas City, we ought just as soon as possible to get our share of the Missouri games here. If more money is needed to have games on our home grounds than we now get, let some o us who can afford it give some money for athletics. It would be cheaper for us to do so that to go to Kansas City, and we should thus give the pleasure of seeing the games to many of the students and faculty who other wise would not see them. And our games ought to be for us and not for the people of Kansas City. Sincerely yours,
OH PURDUE.

C. G. M. Why must we be careful of those letters more than of others? Because in the olden days the host kept his customer's scores in chalk on the panels of the doors. P stood for pint and q for quart, and it behooved the guest to watch his score lest he should exceed his proper number of Ps and Qs. To suit or fit to a T is a plain allusion to the carpenter's T, which is much used in mechanics and drawing.
Maggie W. Is it permissible to use tooth picks in public?
ق
The leaves were just beginning to fall, and sweat no longer collected on the brow of the Ant in large quantities. And as he was taking a brief rest after a hard day's work, along came the Grasshopper.
Maggie W. Merry Mag, I should say not. I am surprised that you would ask such a question. Heavens, girl, would you make any part of your toilet in public—in the corridor of the New Eldridge, or on the platform of the Santa Fe depot—where any one looking at you could see you? Certainly not. No human being is interested in the condition of your teeth except yourself and your dentist. Why make some one watch you attending to them? Many people, it is greatly to be regretted how numerous they are, are victims of this habit, and there is no personal habit that so quickly stamps itself as unpleasant in the mind of stranger or friend as this. The tooth pick belongs to the toilet room.
FOUNTAIN PENS.
AN ANIMAL FABLE.
"Oho!" said the Ant: "you've put in your summer dancing, and now come around expecting to live on me through the winter. '
And away shedanced to where diamonds and terrapin awaited. And the industrious aunt is still carrying the hod.
"Back up!" blithely retorted the Grasshopper; "you talk like a nut. My dancing caught the eyes of several managers, and I'm engaged to star this season at the head of my own company."
