Baird's Comments on the Football Season of '99, as Found in Spalding's Guide. Some interesting comment upon western football and football teams of the season of '99 is furnished by Charles Baird, director of athletics, University of Michigan, in Spalding's Football Guide of 1900. Baird ranks Chicago as champion, although admitting that Iowa was almost if not quite as strong, and regards the Chicago team of '99 as the strongest and best developed team that institution has ever had. The splendid team work and exceedingly rapidity of play were the factors in placing the Maroons at the top. The Wisconsin team of '99 is likewise regarded as the strongest that ever played under the Cardinal. The overwhelming defeat by Chicago demonstrated that her line was much inferior to that of the Maroons and perhaps not superior to that of Michigan, and the difference in the result of the Michigan-Wisconsin and that of the Chicago-Wisconsin game may partly be accounted for by the fact that in the former game Wisconsin was materially aided by the high wind prevailing which enabled her to employ the kicking game, in which lay her chief strength, while in the latter she lost the toss and was compelled to abandon the kicking game and rely on line plays. The result was a decisive defeat. Northwestern exhibits a record of varying hues. Badly defeated by Wisconsin early in the season (38 to o) and by Beloit (11 to o) she met and defeated Minnesota (11 to 5) but was almost annihilated by Chicago (76 to o). Then recovering she defeated Indiana (11 to 6) and out classed Purdue (29 to 1). Dr. Hollister had the team in charge for the first time and had poor material, yet it will be remembered that the work of the '98 Purple team was equally erratic. Illinois had a disastrous season. Two disappointing defeats early in the season by Indiana and Michigan somewhat disheartened the team and later Wisconsin added to their burden by running up a score of 43 to o against them, while what play was left in the Illinoisans was whipped out by Iowa on Thauksgiving Day when the score was 58 to o. — Minnesota Daily. CHEMISTRY NOTES --- This week the ventilating system was put into use. It works satisfactorily and the air is now much better in the labora- tories. The fan in the basement is run by a seventeen horse power motor. The class in Organic Preparations under Bartow began practical work this week. The Chemical Seminary met Thursday and was addressed by Dr. Dr. Battow on "The Chemistry of Butter-fat." The class in Toxicology under Prof. Bailey will hereafter meet at 10 o'clock on Thursdays. This class is for senior Pharmics, Medicys, and optionals, and now has some forty scholars. The library is being fitted up and will soon be ready for use. It contains the city 'phone and also one connected with the university buildings. In Pharmacy about the same number are registered as at this time last year. Judging from the letters of inquiry that come in about next terms work, it is safe to say the total attendance will be larger than last year. Prof. Havenbill's laboratory has just been completed and Prof. Sayre's is now being constructed. The Pharmacy department is proud of its new balances. The parts are all uncorrosive. The standard is gold plated; the beams are aluminum, and the bearings are agate. It is a very valuable instrument. It was made by Henry Troemmer at Philadelphia. The balances are used to test weights and in delicate work. There are two literary societies in the school of law, the Kent Club, and an ambitious rival recently organized under the name of the Cooley Law Club. Competition under healthy and normal conditions is always desirable, and by reason of competition both clubs will be benefited. COCLEY LAW CLUB. The first regular meeting of the new club was held Friday afternoon, $Sept. 28, when the following program was given: President's address, "The Paramount Issue." P. Dunham. Debate, Resolved, That England has Waged an Unjust War in the Transvaal. Affirmative Negative C E Wakefield L A Maris Fear LT Feltz C E Wakefield F D Copping. Address, Dean J W Green. Prof. Higgins has kindly offered to give a series of lectures on legal topics during the year, and these will be one of the strong features of the club. Only members of the law school are eligible to membership, but all students of the University and their friends are cordially invited to attend the meetings. Last night the Adelphic held its first meeting for the year. The Adelphic, like the Snow, is open to both ladies and gentlemen, and all who are desirous of doing literary work are cordially invited to attend. The Adelphic meets every Friday night in the German room. LITERARY SOCIETIES. Last Saturday night the Snow held its first open meeting. Miss Becker read a humorous selection and received a hearty encore. At a meeting of the membership committee on Monday the Swe accepted the following candidates for membership: Krk Logan, C E Carpenter, L E Scholl, J B Wilson, Dean Rose, R C Rose, Mr. Stuessi, Mr Metcalf, H S Tangeman, Ida Griffith, Ida Stem, Jessie Bennett, M D Baumgarmer E Krehbil.

Affirmative, E, H McMath, J B. Wilson. Negative, E, H Hirschler, R C. Rose. Y. M. C. A. Perry O. Hanson left Tuesday for a few days work among the Colleges in the southern part of the state. The meeting last Sunday afternoon was one of the best of the year Sixty men listened to Dr. Burdick's masterly treatment of the subject "Bible Study as a Biberal Education." All the Bible classes for the year will open September 30. The enrollment promises to be very large. Captain J. G. Haskell will again conduct the Normal Training class which meets at the Y.M.C.A house Wednes day evening of each week. The members of the Bible classes were entertained at the Y M C A house Friday evening. Speakers of the association have been sent to Haskell each Sunday evening since the opening of school. The Initiation service which was such a success last year is being planned for the near future. About one hundred and fifty men will be admitted to membership. Governor Stanley has promised to speak for the association any time after election. He is intensely interested in what the association is doing. The local work has been materially strengthened this year by the entrance of able men from other institutions. Among these may be mentioned J E Boyle, an A B, from Nebraska who is doing graduate work in sociology; he has been active in the Association at Nebraska University and has been secured to conduct one of the Bible classes here. R R Grant from the State Normal is another valuable acquisition; he will also teach a class for the Association. C E Brown was president of the Y M C Aat Highland University last year and is taking the medical course here. Several good men from Baker, Fairmount and other schools are here to contribute their experience from those places to the work here. All men of the University are cordially invited to hear Capt Haskell Sunday at 2:30 in North College. ENGINEERING NOTES, The first work in the new brass foundry was done Wednesday. A very good cast-og was made from bell-metal. No course in brass work is offered to students. The foundry was put in for the use of the shops. Mr. Hanson, the head of the blacksmith room has charge of the brass work. There are 77 Freshmen and 35 Sophomores and Juniors taking shop work. The Engineering school has more men than usual trying for places on the foot ball team. The engineers seem to be getting more enthusiastic this year than usual over foot ball. Those seen at practice are The motor in the Chemistry building requires fifteen horse power from the shops to run it. A seven horse power motor is being put in place in the Chemistry building for the Mining Engineering school. Algie, Meehan, Cutsbaw, Kirchmaeir and Nelson. The motor to run the ice machine in the medical building will soon be in place also. When these last two are in operation there will be nineen running on the hill. A new one hundred light transformer has been put into the Library, and soon new globes will be put in throughout the reading rooms. Students who work there at night will be gratified at this improvement. Prof Marvin has been at work during the summer and fall putting in a new hydraulic engineering laboratory. Part of the machinery has arrived. When complete the laboratory will compare very favorably with the equipment of other schools in this line. REPUBLICAN OLUB FORMED. A Strong Organization Perfected. A Serving Organization Perfected. After several weeks spent in preliminary work, securing members and making plans, the K. U. McKinley and Roosevelt club was organized at the Court House Monday night. The clans began to arrive early and long before the meeting was called to order the room was packed and only standing room was to be had. Great enthusiasm prevailed at all times, and the permanent success of the club was assured by the active interest taken on all hands. The club membership up to the time of the meeting was two hundred, and since then has run far over that number. Vice-President Tom Harley, of the club in 1896, called the meeting to order and addressed the club for several moments upon the objects and benefits of such an organization. He also gave a short sketch of the club of ninety-six A call for nominations for president resulted in the nomination and election unani mously of Ed Copley. The new president took the chair and made a short speech of acceptance in which he outlined the policy of the club and the work to be accomplished by it. The other officers elected were vice-president, C W Matson, Secretary L M Gensman and Treasurer E A Scholer. The only once over which there was any contest was that of treasurer. More for the sake of excitement than on account of the honor of the office, there was a great deal of friendly rivalry over this office, but Mr Scholer won out over his two rivals on the first ballot. The attention of the club was next directed to the work of perfecting a thorough organization of all the different schools and classes in the University. After a good deal of wrangling a plan was finally adopted which has all the features of a county central committee with its branches. By means of an executive committee and a number of subcommittees, a poll of the whole University will be made, and every republican will be brought into the organization. Steps will then be taken to see that all are registered in their home towns and that they go home to vote. This phase of the club's work is of great importance and will be very carefully looked after. During the campaign the club will have one public meeting at the opera house with some well known state campainfer as the speaker. The boys will also lend their assistance to the county central committee in Lawrence at all their meetings and rallies. It is intended to arrange for debates upon the political issues with members from the K U Bryan club. These meeting will be open to all interested, as are the regular club meetings In conjunction with the regular McKinley and Roosevelt club a troop of Roosevelt Rough Riders will be formed. This troop will wear the regulation khaki uniform and will be enlisted in the regiment of Rough Kiders which has been organized in the county under the command of Col. Wilder S. Metcalf. Those republicans who have not yet joined the club are hereby requested to do so. As many as can should see the club officers about joining the Rough Rider troop The club meetings will be held at the court house on Monday nights. Loca. speakers will be present to address the club, and open discussion by members up in the different political issues will be made a part of the programs.
