HASKELL vs. OTTAWA.
The Indians Have the Winning Team of the Middle West.
Haskell boasts of the best foot ball team in the middle west. So far she has won every game she has played with the exception of the first game played with Washburn early in the season. Saturday she clipped another laurel from Ottawa on her own gridiron by defeating her by a score of 11 to 0. The day was cold and windy, but notwithstanding this fact the bleachers and side lines were filled with enthusiastic rooters for the Indian team. Without going into the details of the game we will say that it was one of the prettiest games played on Haskell's gridiron. Haskell was strong on defence and end runs, and within six minutes after the game was called, carried the pig skin over Ottawa's goal for a touch-down. Ottawa on the other hand was weak at backs and tried time after time to penetrate the Indian's line with but little success. The second half was much closer, however, Haskell winning another touch-down, but being in danger on her own goal line several times. Toward the end of the half both teams tried punting the ball. Ottawa had the wind with her, but the Indians were the principal gainers. The half ended with the ball on Haskell's five-yard line. This is the last game Haskell plays this year on her home grounds.
Mr. Manning, a graduate of Baker University, entered school this week for post graduate work.

BUST OF MISS ALCOTT.
A Gift to the University by the Sculptor, F. E. Elwell.
A bust of Louisa M. Alcott has been presented to the University, and it will be placed in the library sometime during December.
The bust was made by F. E. Elwell, a sculptor, who is now attracting some attention in art circles. Mr. Elwell became interested in the University through F. B. Sandborn, who visited here when the National Association of Corrections and Charities came to see the University last spring. Mr. Elwell wrote to A. Whitman about the matter, and as a result the piece of work has been sent here.
The exact date of the formal presentation has not been determined, as the sculptor expects to be here himself and the affair will depend somewhat on his convenience. Profs. Marvin, Carruth and Miss Watson have the matter in charge.
The University congratulates itself on the gift and is very grateful, too, to Mr. Elwell.
