LAWRENCE. KANSAS, DECEMBER 8.1900
Three foot ball teams are claiming the western championship. The tie game between Northwestern and Iowa only left rival claims, and in addition Minnesota has a championship record. It is really too bad Wisconsin, Chicago and Michigan can't advance a few claims.

Washburn has announced itself the champion of Kansas foot ball teams. Its claims are based on a system of comparative mathematics and Haskell's refusal to play a third game. K. U. is not greatly interested in the matter, to be sure, but if we had any money it would go up on those Indians.

Governor Stanley did a wise thing when he wrote to the University for information so that he might recommend suitable appropriations by the coming legislature. This will do away with the lobby that K. U. has hitherto been forced to maintain during the legislative session. The new method will be as effectual and save considerable expense and inconvenience.
PRESENTATION.
Bust of Miss Alcott Formally Presented to the University.
A large audience was present in chapel yesterday to see the bust of Miss Alcott unveiled. Prof. Carruth introduced Mr. A. Whitman, who told how Mr. Sanborn and Mr. Elwell became interested in the University. Mr. Sandborn, the life-long friend of both Miss Alcott and Mr. Whitman, visited here last spring, and as a token of his pleasure, he asked Mr. Elwell to present the bust to the University of Kansas. Mr. Whitmen delighted all by reading one of the Alcott letters.
Mr. Sandborn could not be present in person so he sent a letter for the occasion, which was read by Miss Watson. The presentation speech was made by the sculptor, Mr. Elwell himself. He referred touchingly to the life of Miss Alcott, whose ideals have so much influenced his life. Prof. Hopkins, in behalf of the University, thanked the artist for his gift.
ENGINEERING DEPARTM'T
Malcolm V. Watson paid a visit to the shops on his way to Colorado Springs, where he will be employed in a responsible position in electrical shop work. Mr. Watson has been foreman for some time past of the W.T. Osborne Electrical shops of Kansas City, Mo
Cecil Fiester made a call at the University the past week. He has given up electrical work and expects to go into the pharmacy business at Whiting, Kan.
Harry Thompson, a Freshman, arts, has enrolled in the engineering school.
Twelve sets of castings for emery wheel stands are now on hand and will be fitted up by the students during the coming term. The outlook for shop work is better than ever before. Better work is being done and more of it than at any time in the history of the shops.
