ANOTHER VICTORY.
THE 'VARSITY BASKET BALL TEAM
WON FROM THE INDIANS BY A
SCORE OF 14 TO 5.
THE FEATURES OF THE GAME
Were Avery's Goal Throwing, Yahh's Interferences and the Varsity Team Work. -Fallis the Indian Star.
Friday evening at the Y. M. C. A. rooms down town, the basket ball season was opened in Lawrence by a good game between the Varsity team and the Indians. The game was a good one considering that the men have had only slight training. It was unusually free from rough play, was an appy and exciting throughout, and interested the spectators.
The 'Varsity showed a little better team work than the Indians. Neither side was sure of its goals, but the 'Varsity was a little more successful than the Indians. The passing of both teams was about equal. Had the Indians been able to throw goals the score would have been somewhat closer. There were no men on either team who wanted to play the whole game, but all depended on team work.
For the Indians. Fallis and Preyer showed up best, although they all played a fast game. Both these men and also Archiqueste are football men. They are alert and will certainly play a wonderful game before the season of the season.
Avery did the sensational work for the Varsity. Two of his goals were extraordinary and deserved the applause they received. The Owens boys are improving and will soon be in their old form, while Shipman and Vandurf are already playing well. Yahn, as usual was everywhere, and read the

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT NOTES.
Owing to the desire on the part of several to take shop work, a class in Freshman show work will be organized. There will be twelve at least in the class.
The instructors in the shops are more rushed than ever before, partly owing to the increased enrollment and partly owing to the increase in classes.
Dr. A. F. Nightingale, of the public schools of Chicago, is advocating the abolition of graduations in high schools. He recommends the substitution of a plan by which the pupils would choose the subjects they like best, spend about 3,000 hours mastering them and then quietly quit work. He said: "The old custom of going through a regular grind and then graduating in the presence of admiring relatives and friends, in my opinion, has served its day. Let us have a system that will give pupils a thorough training in such studies as they may select and drop this annual 'sailing out upon the ocean of life.' Let the pupils start in when they can and leave when they finish the course without orations or essays."
E. E. Trueblood, an engineer of 97, who has been in the territory in the employ of the Santa Fe, was on the hill Thursday morning.
Prof. Marvin reports fewer double-flunks in the engineering school than ever before.
Several University young men and womefl participated in the reception given by the city M. A. A., to the visiting Iola bowlers Wednesday night.

Why Young Men Fall.
when a young man starts out to learn a business or profession, I believe that natural born conceit is his most dangerous enemy. This is generally apparent when he begins to get an insight into things, but as soon as he has come to understand that what he knows is possibly only the rudiments of the business or profession which he is studying, he will begin to learn something, provided he is ambitious.
After he has become master of his occupation, the next enemy to contend with is flattery. If he is a reasonably bright young fellow he may likely receive many praises; some will be sincere, but many otherwise. In any event, they are more or less intoxicating, and no young man should become elated or feel, that he has reached the top of the ladder because of favorable comments which he may receive from time to time. Susceptibility to flattery has checked many a young man's career.
Men with natural ability are usually lacking in the required ambition for study and work, and it is often that we see a more industrious person push ahead of one thus endowed. A young man should not become bigoted or conceived by reason of his natural abilities, as these are the gifts of God, and for this reason alore he should not allow them to lie dormant or talf cultivated.
At this progressive age no one reaches a point at which he can abandon study and live on his past reputation. A good reputation is difficult to build up, yet it is easy to lose, and I believe that a business or a professional man who expects to make life a continual success should start out with the determination of becoming a student for life. Of course, as one becomes eminently successful he does not have the same amount of time to devote that the young man would, but study becomes easier as one advances in life and finds its necessity.
Another cause of failure for which the young man is not altogether to blame is the strained social conditions (of the present era. This is especially so in the professions, where unfortunately, one's best chance of making business friends and acquaintances is by being here there and everywhere as society may command. One loses needed rest in this way and much genuine home life, which after all is to be preferred to what is ordinarily termed society. I believe that a young man should come in contact with people socially, but he had much better proceed a little slower and get the needed daily rest than undermine his health by constantly attending social functions.
The importance of strict punctuality and integrity is not understood by the average young man. If he could only reverse his position and become employer for a few months he would readily understand its value.
When a young man is locking for a position he should not seek the one which will at first offer him the best sa'ary, but should choose an occupation to which he would be willing to devote his entire life, and then work his way up, accepting what he is offered. There is nothing gained by jumping from one thing to another and working a few months here and there.
If a young man is punctual and is strictly honest he will soon win the esteem of his employer. He should be absolutely exact in the smallest things, for it is the small errors which most often come to the notice of an employer, and it is reasonable to assume that if an employee would be
dishonest or irregular in a small matter he would not hesitate at a more grave offense where the chances of not being detected might offer themselves.—Hertzert C, Chivers in Saturday Evening Post.

LAW NOTES.
There were no classes in the law school Wednesday on account of the meeting of the State Bar association at Topeka. Dean Green and Professors Higgins and Burdick were in attendance. Mr. H. F. Pownall, of the senior 1st class received the decision of the judges as having the most able thesis upon the constitutional right of congress to refuse a seat to a member elect presenting a valid certificate of election, which gave him the privilege of reading it before the association. Mr. Pownall was very highly complimented upon the argument in favor of this right of congress.
Judge Martin will take up Equity on next Monday afternoon.
Judge Benson will have his class in Code Pleading for next week in the evenings at the court house.
The Seniors, commencing with Monday, have three studies. Heretofore only two have been carried at the same time. This change is made on account of the addition- work put in the senior year of the 'oo class.
