THEY SAY
When a man wears fashionable shoes every day he's either in love or just vain.
Ever notice that those same men always get along in the world?
Our shoes move in the best circles and feel at home there.
"They" have another guess coming.

Kansas and Missouri Universities Interested in a University Ball Grounds at the Metropolis
THE PROPOSED ATHLETIC GROUNDS AT K. C.
717 Mass. St. Ground floor.
Bowesock Opera House WEDNESDAY, OCT.23, 1901.
New East Lynne.
Manager Foster of the Kansas University foot ball and base ball teams returned from Kansas City last Tuesday after holding a conference with Manager Heatherington of the Missouri State University. The ostensible object of their meeting was to lease for the coming big game at Exposition Park, which has been the scene of all the great Thanksgiving day foot ball struggles for years past. The real object of the meeting, however, was to discuss the advisability of a plan by which the two state universities would control an athletic field of their own.

For years past the athletic associations of the two schools have paid an excessive rental for the use of the old ball grounds on Thanksgiving day. Protests were of no avail, for the lessees of Exposition Park were well aware of the fact that no other grounds suitable for such a game could be obtained, and so used their monopoly to the extent of demanding an exhorbitant percentage of the gate receipts for the use of the grounds for a single afternoon. Unfortunately for the lessees of the old ball park and incidentally for the two universities, the days of Exposition Park have come to a close. A reality company has bought the ground from the owners and will plot it off into town lots this spring. No other grounds suitable for foot ball can be obtained at present in the city. It is true Convention hall has been mentioned as a place for future Thanksgiving struggles, but Convention hall is 150 feet short of the required length for a foot ball field. The grounds belonging to

the Kansas City Athletic club at Fairmount Park could probably be obtained, but they are six miles from the city limits and the grand stand is entirely too small to hold the usual gathering of enthusiasts.

Owing to the above stated facts, the two athletic managers are working on a scheme to buy an athletic grounds and to erect suitable stands on them; these grounds to be under the control of the two state universities. With grounds of their own, the expenses of the annual foot ball game would be greatly reduced, besides furnishing an athletic field for track meets, base ball games, and similar athletic contests. When not in use by the two schools, the grounds could be leased to amateur ball teams and, as Manager Tebeau of the professional ball team at Kansas City is desirous of obtaining a suitable ground for his team for next year, possibly the grounds could be leased to him for the summer months.
Kansas and Missouri alumni are very strong in Kansas City and several alumni of both universities are interested in the new plan and are pushing the scheme in the metropolis. To carry out the plan successfully, however, the athletic associations must have the combined support of the students, both at Kansas and at Miss u i. With the combined effort of alumni and students, the plan should go forward to completion and the sooner it is carried out the better it will be for Kansas and Missouri athletics.

Some of the daily papers have announced that the Kirksville Ostco paths refused to play a return game with K. U. There was no intention on the part of the managers to play two games but the representative of the Kirksville school who was here last Wednesday, expressed his desire to obtain another game with Kansas.

The Varsity Surprises the Osteopaths in a Lively Serimmage.
K. U. 17; A. S. O. 6.
The game of last Monday between K. U. and the Osteopathic School, of Kirksville, Mo., was a decisive victory for Kansas. The Osteopaths were expecting an easy victory, but the fast and steady work of the Kansans proved too much for them. Our men came home pretty badly bruised up, Alphin receiving the most serious injury—a broken wrist. The other men bore marks which were mainly the results of the Osteopathic method of playing foot ball. It was a rough game from start to finish. There was much slugging on the part of the Osteopaths, and perhaps our men were sometimes tempted.
The K. U. second eleven won handily from the Ottawa Scrubs last Saturday by a score of 17 to 0. Our men were heavier than those of Ottawa and outplayed the Baptist
Juniors from beginning to end. The scrubs must be thanked for partially retrieving our one-time foot ball superiority over Ottawa to retaliate.
The success of our team has exceeded the expectations of its heartiest supporters. The coach and manager have done exceptionally well in bringing out a first-class team from the material at hand at the beginning of the season. The result of last Monday's game fortells a victory for Kansas over Nebraska and Missouri. What more do we want?
The playing of White in last Monday's game was a good joke on the Osteopaths too good in fact to keep. It leaked out and "thereby hangs a tale."
The Athletic board didn't appreciate the joke in having its authority disregarded and immediately commenced a vigorous investigation of the whole affair.
The managers and coach manfully acknowledged their responsibility for the breach of rules and were censured for their conduct. The action of the board was taken only after due deliberation and what it did was intended to promote the best interests of the University. The offence was serious in that it may affect our relations with the other institutions which are our co-signers to the agreement to play according to the Chicago conference rules. Let us hope that no disastrous results will follow and that the team will continue to win and to win according to law.
The manager of the Kansas City Medics was on the hill Wednesday, working to get his team on a footing to play with Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas. He was told that there was no hope of his obtaining a game with Kansas this season and that the medicine men would have to sign the president's agreement before K. U. would talk foot ball to them.
A NEW ORGANIZATION.
Students Decide to Have an Oratorical Association—Literary Notes.
Last Tuesday noon Prof. Frazier met with representatives of different societies to consider plans for the organization of a new oratorical association in K.U. The old organization practically became a thing of the past with Prof. Vickery's departure and the abolition of the chair of oratory. The field is now open for a complete re-organization on new principles and with an increased interest on the part of the student body.
One innovation Prof. Frazier proposes is that of rewarding the winners of the contest with suitable prizes. Under this plan the first prizes will be fifty dollars. The second prize will amount to twenty-five dollars, while the third prize will consist of fifteen or twenty dollars. There may be something added to these prizes in the way of medals or increase in amount.
Prof. Frazier has raised almost the amount required for the prizes by a canvass of a few business men of the city, whom he finds very enthusiastic over the matter. He anticipates that the enthusiasm on the part of the business men and their loyal support will renew the interest of the strongest speakers of the 'Varsity and Kansas will in succeeding years take first place regularly in the state contest. Already there is an awakening interest on the part of some of the prominent students which bids fair to extend
A
throughout the school.
Prof. Frazier and representatives of the different literary societies will hold a meeting next Tuesday to complete definite organization and determine definite plans for the future. There is a feeling on the part of both Prof. Frazier and the students interested, that an organization should be completed between the State universities for contests in public speaking. That oratory is fast becoming a thing of the past no one can deny, but with a strong organization in the school its purpose can be diverted from oratory to public speaking, and from the small colleges to the State universities.
SOCIETY.
Miss Margaret Hammond of Hiwatha has pledged to Pi Beta Phi.
The Freshmen gave their first party at the Eldridge hall on the evening of October 18.
Wednesday night the Pi Beta Phis gave an informal party at Mrs. Smith's in honor of their newly pledged girl, Margaret Hammond.
A crowd of K. U. students went out to Blue Mound on a nutting excursion Saturday. Among the party were: Messrs, Rershner, Smith, Trombold, Briggs, Shafer and Chester Jones. Misses Nailer, Pittering, Shaler, Beulah Frazell, Mary Frazell and Connelly.
Miss Ruth Ewing entertained Thursday evening at the home of Mrs. Prof. Franklin, 1100 Louisiana street, in honor of her sister, Mrs. Chas. Scott of Iola, who has been spending several days in Lawrence. The entertainment was in the nature of charades, which were very amusing. About forty of the University people were present.
The Women's league reception was held Saturday afternoon from 3 to 5 at the home of Mrs. Prof. Hodder on Louisiana street. A reception is always given in the fall by the members of the league to the women students, and this was an exceptionally delightful one and was much enjoyed by all. During the afternoon dainty refreshments were served in the prettily decorated dining room.
Friday night the K. U. dancing club gave their first party at Pythian hall. The club is composed of eighteen non-fraternity boys who will give a series of ten parties during the winter. Messrs, Walter Meck, Chester Jones, Charles Wakefield and Misses Rachel Mentyer, Mary Todd Smith and Millie Paddock were on the reception committee. Sommers' orchestra furnished music. The members of the club with their guests made about forty couples.
A Golf Match.
A team from the Oread Golf club is in Kansas City today playing the Evanston club. Messrs. Sterling, Jones, Fletcher, Meeks, Adolph Spangler, Otto Barteldes, Bartow, Newson and Dobson compose the team. The players have not been practising long this fall but they average up well and hope to make a good showing.
Kansas City has, a number of strong players, but their club is not so strong in membership. The Oread club will play matches with Leavenworth and Topeka later in the season.
