LAWRENCE, KAN., SAT, OCT. 26, 1901.
The withdrawal on Wednesday of the recommendation made by the Athletic board concerning fraternity foot ball teams, has practically decided the question that has been agitating the minds of fraternity men here. They will enter the enter-fraternity contest now, untramoled by rule or restriction and with a new zest for the slaughter of their rivals in the untrained game they must of necessity play. Foot ball at its best, is only civilized brutality and though year by year the rules of humane government in the games reduce the danger for its participant, nevertheless it is not a game to be entered carelessly and recklessly. To the scientific foot ball man, whose constant training of body and culture of skill are never neglected, the game is no child's play, no mere amusement, but hard work and heavy strain. That the unexperienced and untrained men of the college should attempt to play is to be highly condemn d.
The feeling of the Athletic board, that this matter was beyond the authority of the council is substantiated by the general attitude of the University in matters governmental. Yet the fact no less remains that the individuality of amateur foot ball is forcibly evident. The fraternity teams will be made up of men of unequal weight, and unequal strength, and untried ability. Very few of them are regularly foot ball men, or even known in any way in the athletic world. The game they can furnish will be poor, naturally, and ill sustained. The players can neither endure so hard a game, nor play so easily a milder one. They will stand in danger of limb and possibly of life. For it is a saddening fact in our own college that more than one life has been lost on the gridiron, through inexperienced playing. The question of inter-fraternity foot ball has much to discourage it, without this foremost consideration. Is not the rivalry already existing between the Greek letter fraternities great enough? Why should fuel be added to the fire in this impractical way. The thing needful is some means to promote truer friendship among them. This is only an irritant.
of existing evils. Some time ago the enter-fraternity athletics were more encouraged than they have been of late years. It seems the revival of old rivalries is about to come about. What shall we say to this?
Anniversary of King Alfred.
The millenia of the death of King Alfred the Great is at the present time being commemorated by the English people. All who speak the English tongue are joining in this tribute to the Saxon, who, above all others contributed to the development of the English. King Alfred was born in 1849, in Berkshire. At his native town in 1846, twenty thousand people gathered to do honor to his name in celebrating his birth.
This year, in Winchester, where he is buried, a national memorial statue of him will be raised, and a museum of early English History is to be established. In London a celebration will be held for which a magnificent historical pageant is being prepared. There is to be an exhibition of a large number of historical objects relating to the Alfred period. This country will be represented by a committee sent from the American Historical Association.
King Alfred was the father of English life and all the English political institutions. "No people" says Frederick Harrison, "in ancient or modern times even had a hero-founder at once so truly historic, so venerable and so truly great." In an address delivered before the Harvard student body, Mr. Harrison spoke of King Alfred in these terms: "It is a commonplace with historians, and with the historians of many countries and different schools of opinion that our English Alfred was the only perfect man of action recorded in history; for Hureius was occasionally too much of a philosopher; St. Louis, usually too much of a saint; Godfrey too much of the crusader; the great emperors were not saints at all, and of more modern heroes we know too much to pretend that they were perfect. Of all the hyperboles of praise there is but one that we can safely justify with the strictest canons of historic research. Of all the names of history there is only our English Alfred, whose record is without stain and without weakness, who is equally amongst the greatest of men in genius, in magnanimity, in valor, in moral purity, in intellectual force, in practical wisdom, and in beauty of soul. In his recorded career from infancy to death, we can find no single trait that is not noble and suggestive, nor a single act or word that can be counted as a flaw."
Art Notes.
Green, in his History of the English people, says: "Alfred was the most complete embodiment of all that is great, all that is lovable in the English temper.

Mr. S. W. Porter, has been posing this week. He is considered the most interesting study thus far painted.
The first piece of furniture planned, designed and made by a student in the ornamental design class, was finished this week by miss Lona Miller. It is an artistic bookstand, made in burnt wood work and designed with water lillies. The stand will be on exhibition until Tuesday, when it will be sent to an out-of-town purchaser.

Y.M.C.A. Notes.
Messrs. Colton and Boynton spent Wednesday afternoon and evening in drilling some of our most important committees.
Messrs. Colton, Boynton, Williamson and the Jayhawker quartette left Thursday for Fort Scott, where they will attend the state convention of the Y.M.C.A.
The Freshman's reception, held Friday evening at the Y. M. C. A. house was a very jolly affair. The Y. W. C. A. assisted and an exceptionally good time was had.
The union meeting with the city association held last Sunday in the Presbyterian church, was quite successful. Rev. Nusbaum, of Ottawa, sang a solo to the accompaniment of an autoharp, and gave a powerful address. Very few people can both sing and preach the gospel as acceptably as Brother Nusbaum.
E. T. Colton, one of the international secretaries, and Mr. Boynton, assistant state secretary, visited our association this week. Tuesday evening a splendid meeting was held in the Christian church. Prof. Blackmar presided and Mr. Colton made the address. Over 200 men were present. The Jayhawker quartette sang "Tho' You Sins be as Scarlet."

ASTHMA CURE FREE!
The Oread golf team was badly beaten at Kansas City, last week. The Evanston people are fast players and so well acquainted with their grounds that it was difficult to score against them. Their links are out of Kansas City near Independence. The trip was thoroughly enjoyed by all of the K. U. people however, and a return game will be played next week.

CHAINED FOR TEN YEARS
There is nothing like Asthmatene. It brings
unmet relief even in the worst cases. It cures
when it is not used.
The Rev. C. F. WELLS, of Villa Ridge, Hill, says: 'Your trial bottle of Asthmalene received in good condition. I can not tell you how thankful I feel for the good derived from it. I was a slave, chained with patridr seattle and Asthma for ten years. I despaired of ever being cured. I saw your advertisement for the cure of this dreadful and tormenting disease, Asthma, and thought you had overspoken yourself, but resolved to give it a trial. To my astonishment the trial acted like a charm. Send me a full-size bottle.'
