FCOT BALL.
Kansas Loses from the Medics by a Score of 17 to 23-Washburn ToDay.
Saturday's game was a hard fought battle. The daily papers gave such excellent accounts that we will not describe the game. It was, however, a much closer struggle than the score indicates. K.U. was defeated, but by no means disgraced. The boys played in excellent form. Fortune, too, somewhat favored the Medics. The last touch-down was made in the dark and was in no way a test of the team, still the Medies made it. One rank decision was also made against K. U. The boys were forced over the line with the ball in their possession, but the umpire refused to call it a safety.
Wilcox's hip was severely hurt, and it is doubtful if he can get in Saturday's game with Washburn. Odle's ankle was badly wrenched and it may be he will not get to play any more this year. This is hard lines just before the big games, but the boys have played their best, which was not at all bad, and no one lays it to them.
Marvin's Etchings.
The Fine Art students are exceedingly fortunate in being able to study such a fine collection of etchings as the Marvin collection. It is now on exhibition in Library hall and many beside the students have been to see them.
A number of faces by Whistler are among the most valuable of the etchings. "Beequet," one of the best known, was purchased for $90, and it is now valued at several times that amount. The "Limeburner" and the "Black Lion Wharf," also by Whistler, are very fine. Haden's "Sunset on the Thames" is a favorite, as well as Hollar's "Butterflies." These latter etchings bear the date of 1645, and the work can scarcely be equalled today.

SHIPS THAT PASS IN THE NIGHT.
They came from the bar at midnight,
And carried an awful load,
Yet they said they were feeling out of sight,
As they walked all over the road.—Ex.

College maid, ere we part,
College maid, ere we part,
Give me back--no, not my heart:
But my class pin, and that ring,
Football picture, everything
That I bought and gave to you
When our college love was new. -bx.
Etymology of Kiss.
Kissing is closely connected with "buss" which is simply a good old back-woods expression, meaning a kiss that is enjoyed by two green-horns who have powerful lungs and wonderful suction with which to perform the act. In this sense buss means one kiss, rebus means kiss again, pluribus means a number of kisses, horribus means to be caught kissing by the old folks, merribus means to steal a kiss, sillybus means to kiss the hand instead of the lips, blunderbus means to kiss an old maid by mistake, and omnibus means to kiss all present, including your mother-in-law.—Silver and Gold.
