LAWRENCE, KAN., DEC. 9., 1899.
The athlete association should not forget to get sweaters for the "ever victorious" '99 team as a slight token of appreciation.
Now that the football season is over, let's push basket ball. Manager Russell is getting up a good schedule and the prospects are for a good team. Push it along.
W. C., McCroake, '95, now of the Kansas City High School, has a clever little article in the High School Record for November on "The Freshman at K. U." The Record, by the way, is a fine little sheet for a high school paper, and one the students may be proud of.
The editor of the paper called "The Kansas Lawyer" grows wrathy, tears his hair and uses violent language because the Weekly dared to assert that the Laws were not "the whole thing." The editor of the "Lawyer" should control his temper and not allow every little casual remark to cause such an abullition of wrath. It's bad taste.
It is very evident that the sporting editor of the Kansas City Journal ought to take a day off and learn the game of football, since neither Wilcox or Krebs are given any mention in his All-Western team. If there is any man on the Missouri valley who is ahead of Wilcox as a tackle we should like to see him. Mr. Washer "of Kansas City" is not so many, in suite of "Coach" Arthur St Leger Mose to that effect.
We are really sorry for Missouri. According to their latest press notice, all that Missouri need is a coach. Well now, how about Mr. White of Cornell, who played on Cornell three years, and held track records galore? It seems that he won't do. Therefore Missouri will ask a state appropriation for football. Just think of it. A state university, in the great state of Missouri, asking the state to put up for its football team. Weep briny tears for poor Missouri, but we feel that they are of no avail.
Kansas is almost sure of a game of football with Michigan in Kansas City next year. The Kansas City alumni of the two schools have offered a guarantee of $1,300 which makes the game almost assured. The thing for everybody to do now is to work for that game. It will be a great boon to Kansas foochall if we can meet at least one good team next year. The Varsity team next year will be as strong if not stronger than it was this year. We had an eleven this year that would have given Michigan or Wisconsin a mighty close rub if it had had the opportunity. In fact it is a shame that we could not have at least one good game this year. The prospect of this game will bring out more men and create greater interest in the game. Kansas ought to be able in a few years to cope with the big schools in football and will if we can just start the ball rolling. Let everybody help to get the Michigan game.

Wolf's, 917 Massachusetts street.
He was only a poor, dejected looking tramp, who had stopped about two hundred yards from the railroad track to eat his nooddy meal.
His baggy brown tweensers, his shoes, hit hat, were all worn and shabby, and hardly seemed to be protection enough against the biting north wind from the river. His coat alone was good, but it had evidently belonged to a smaller man than the tramp, for the sleeves barely reached below his his elbows, and it was unfastened across his breast. By his side lay the conventional red bandanna bundle fastened to a stick.
At last he got up from the stone where he was sitting and hunted up and down the ditch until he had gathered a small handful of dry sticks. In a sheltered spot of the ditch he then lighted a tiny fire, and as it crackled and burned brightly, he stretched out his hands toward it for a moment as if to warm them. Reaching into his pocket he brought forth a small parcel of coffee and emptied a portion of this into an old tomato can by his side. As he placed the can on the fire he noticed that the blaze was getting low and leaving it for a moment he went away a short distance to pick up a few chips and chunks of coal near the track.
Just at this moment two well dressed boys came down the railroad from the opposite direction. They were not small boys but were at least sixteen or seventeen years of age. They were probably high school boys but they might possibly have belonged to the Freshman class of the university. They were walking along the iron rails, pushing one another, laughing and joking and as soon as they espied the tramp's fire one of them said something in an undertone and then a well directed stone from his hand sent the tomato can rolling over and over just as the tramp returned to the scene of action. Half in anger, half in disgust he gazed first at the forms of the retreating youngsters and then at the overturned can of coffee. "I'm a bum," he muttered "but I've got a boy back in Vermont and if I heard of him doin' such a trick to a man in my fix I'd walk all the way back home to give him a horse-whipping."

Came down to greet our boys below,

The skies shine bright. The populace, in seats
With piercing yells of the gay and fair.
That make the blood run fast, and fill the air With piercing vells of the gay and
And 'round, await the thrilling feats
Aye, see them crouch, their eye on ball and ear
Intent for the first word, and near
They wait the foal alert, well fit to st
Them wait the foe alert, well fit to stand
The foe theater, stands
The fray—they're off, a mighty band
Of youths, who plainly show the work

With skill—"the man behind the gun." And watch them play; no efforts crude they do

The hosts quick rise and give forth
shouts that shake
The pillared skies and seem to make Our boys with greater efforts teem! The goal
Is reached, and o'er the vast crown whole
Great pandemonium now reigns supreme.
The palm is theirs, and it does seem

Yet all is still, save but the flickering noise
And our stretched hand. Yes, they are here,
And it does seem
That all ought meet them with a
hearty cheer
That's made by a loyal few. The joys Received are not commensurate with pain
Pronounce it so. Yea. rouse your spirit faint

Foot Ball.
The game of football with the University of Oklahoma for December 9, has been declared off. The 'Varsity eleven disbanded in Kansas City Thanksgiving day, and of course can not now go as a team. The manager along with all the boys, was tired of the constant strain of work and decided to quit.
Oklahoma would play only the 'Varsity eleven; the southerners did not want to play the Kansas Stars, The 'Varsity boys could not go as individuals because they would be branded professionals by a technicalifi in the constitution of the Athletic association. The whole truth of the thng is the boys have enough football, nad did not want to play any how. The election of captain has been postponed until Tuesday of next week. It was found this week that the constitution required the posting of a notice one week before the ejection. Owens and Wilcox are now the candidates. Both are splendid men and either will make an efficient ca-tain.
There is a prospect for a game with Michigan next year in Kansas City. In fact the game is almost assured. Prof. Adams has been corresponding with Michigan, and the Kansas City alumni of the two schools have offered a $1,200 guarantee for the game which makes it assured.
The number of female students in the German Universities is increasing despite the systematic attempts of the authorities to freeze them out. In 1896 there were only 178 of the gentler sex, but at the beginning of this year the number increased to 400. Philology and philosophy are the most popular subjects; wi, history, art and natural science next in order of preference.
