GIVEN BY THE MERCHANTS ATHLETIC CLUB ON MONDAY.
THE NEVER DEFEATED TEAM
Was Toasted and Dined by Its Friends in Lawrence, and They Did It Right.
Last Monday evening the never-defeated '99 football team and their friends were royally entertained by the Merchants Athletic club at their club house with a reception and smoker. The football men were all there and the "fans" were there. In the first part of the evening they played billiards and bowled, and here Uncle Jimmy Edmundson showed himself to be the bright and particular star. Then later they ate and smoked while toasts were given to the '99 team and responded to by the boys. The occasion was one of merriment and enjoyment was certainly not lacking. The Merchants Athletic club proved themselves admirable entertainers and all their guests united in praising the treatment which they had received.
Dr. C. E. Esterly was the toast master and first called upon L. C. Foehler who welcomed the guests in behalf of the club. Dean Green spoke of "The Football Men and the Law School," and Coach Yost gave "Our Reasons for Winning." He said that every man kept his eye on the ball and that they had worked together harmoniously throughout the season. F. W. Barteldes, to whom much of the credit for this entertainment must be given, registered a few kicks. The first was that he had not been allowed to play center through lack of suitable equipment, and another, that the team had been so good that he could get up no money on it. Captain Avery praised the team and thanked them for their support of him. W. J. Coleman, of the never defeated '91 team, spoke of that team, and said it would stand no show against '99. Prof. Burdick told some interesting stories, tending to show why the Thanksgiving game was not a "miracle." Dr. Naismith spoke of the true athlete, and his characteristics, describing him as a gentleman who takes pleasure in sport for sport's sake. Ben Owen, who was spoken of as "the little Funston" of the team, was called for and in a few words thanked the club for its hospitality.
Manager Elliott then, on behalf of the team, presented the club with a fine picture of the 'oo' team.
A telegram was received from Congressman Bowersock during the evening, and the cigars for the occasion were sent by him. A message was also received from Prof. E. D. Adams, regretting his inability to be present.
Prof. Adams on the French Republic.
Prof. E.D. Adams has a very interesting article in the December Arena on the future of the French Republic in connection with the Dreyfus case. Prophets of evil predict its downfall on account of the military spirit and three political defects—the requirement of majority votes for deputies, the committee system of the chamber, and the custom of appellation.
It is shown that the army of France is not properly a standing army and hence is not subject to the dengers such as resulted from the maintenance of Napoleon's veteran army; Prof. Adams further shows that the governmental defects are not necesarily fatal and they might be remedied by the one thing which France especially needs—a division on party lines. In France the parties are too numerous and too much dependent on governmental forms of the past. Yet Bonapartists and Royalists are losing ground, and there is a possibility of a political division on national issues, which is so essential to a cabinet system of government. On the whole, the lookout is bright for the future of the French Republic and the Dreyfus trial will do good rather than harm.

University Telegraphers Association.
Pursuant to a notice on the bulletin board about fifteen students met Professor McMeans and Palmer in the Physical laboratory Thursday afternoon, to form a Telegrapher's association, the purpose and object of which is to be for the instruction and entertainment of those interested in that line of work.
Prof. McMeans stated that it was a very desirable part of a civil or electrical engineer's education to have some knowledge of telegraphy, and not only engineering students but also any interested could join.
A "line" will be arranged and each member will have an instrument connected with the "line," the association meeting once or twice a week for general instruction. A committee was appointed to draft by-
A committee was appointed to draft bylaws and to map out the "line"; this committee to report next Monday afternoon.
Curfew Whistles.
Prof. Blake's new whistle on the shops is now being used by the city as a curfew whistle. At 8 o'clock each evening its deeps sonorous nones shatter the night air warning the children to seek the protection of their parental roots. However, its only visible effect so far is to cause the small boy to regard it as a huge joke, and the Freshman who may be so untortunate as to be upon the streets to glance over their shoulders in alarm to see that no cops are in sight and quicken their pace toward their rooms.
"Nothing succeeds, like success," and to say that Lewis Morrison's magnificent presentation of "Faust" has met with universal success the many past seasons is mentioning it mildly indeed. It is positively heralded that this will be the last season of this generally popular play and its final presentation here will take place in a few weeks.
A great deal has been said and written about Lewin Morrison's original production of "Faust." This season, however, this grand play comes newly and sumptuously staged, everything connected with it having been expensively re-equipped. In Lawrence, Kansas, Dec 16, 1899.

BASKET BALL THE GAME NOW.
MUCH INTEREST IS SHOWN AND THE BOYS ARE MAKING ACTIVE PREPARATIONS FOR THE SEASON.
THE PROBABLE GAMES
Are with Omaha and Lincoln-An Effort Is Also Being Made to Form a State League.
Manager Russell of the basket ball section is busy now-a-days with correspondence and arrangements for basket ball. There is more interest manifested than ever this year.
Practically, all the old men are out and a great many new ones. Among those who played last year are the two Owens, Courtright, Hall, Will Sutton, Avery, B.Owens, Moore, Vandruff, Shipman, Yahn and Russell.
The boys are slightly handicapped now, as the old rink burned last year, but they are making the best of the matter and getting practice in the gymnasium and out of doors.
Basket ball is now the only game as the foot ball season is over and it is a long period until base ball begins.
The 'Varsity basket ball section will rent the Y. M. C. A. ball down town, as soon as it is completed, which will be shortly after the Christmas vacation. The Nebraska games are planned for the early part of the vacation. After the middle of January the 'Varsity team will have some good games here, probably with the Topeka or Kansas City Y. M. C. A. There is also a probable state league composed of K.U., Baker, Ottawa, Washburn, the College of Emoria and the State Normal. The schedule is yet somewhat in doubt but the Nebraska games are almost assured and it will be no trouble to get the Kansas City and Topeka games.
Besides the out of town games there will be the usual inter-class games and the faculty-class games. These games bring out the material and keep up the spirit.
Dr. Naimish, the inventor of the game,
is as in thusliastic and ever is, doing all
he can to make it even more successful
than last year.
The Valhalla Team.
The November Bookman has a good thing in the shape of a Valhalla football team composed of the heroes of fiction. Here is the way it lines them up and comments on them:
Left end, Michael Volodoyousky.
Left tackle, Le Noir Taneant.
Left guard, Pan Longin.
Centre, John Ridd.
Right guard, Ureus.
Right tackle, Taffy Wynne.
Right end, Aramis.
Quarter back, D'Artagnan.
Left half back, Wilfred of Ivanhoe.
Right half back, Porthos Du Vallon d
Iberia.
Bracieux de Ferreroubos
Fullback, Athos, Comte de la Terre
Full back, Athos, Comtede la Terre.
Looking over the Valhalla eleven we are quite content. On defensive work a glance at the line from tackle to tackle makes us completely chucky and confident. With great respect for the ground-gaining qualities of the Princeton revolving tandem, the Pennsylvania guards backs, and the flying wedge wheel Harvard introduced half a dozen years ago, we doubt the efficiency of these plays when directed against a centre trio composed of the strong men of "Lorna Doone," "Fire and Sword" and "Quo Vadis." In selecting Le Noir Farneant as left tackle we have in mind not the stilted creature of history, but the rolicking knight who supplied gaily in Sherwood Forest and exchanged buffets with Friar Tuck.
Front de Beouf, by the way with Brian de Bois Guilbert and Quentin Durward and Uneas and Allan Dale and Monte Cristo and others, from the substitute squad along the side lines. As a pair of ends to play the game with the speed and cunning now demanded, Pan Michael and Aramis, though both rather light would be hard to improve. One can fancy them circling swiftly about the field and bringing down opposing backs with their deadly and
unnering tackles. No one would for an instant dispute the claim of D'Artagnan to the position of quarterback. Not only as a player but as a leader he would be inimitable and the spectacle of the wily Gascon picking out the weak spots in the opposing line and driving through his backs from end to end would be enough to dismay the stoutest heart and destroy the most desperate resistance.
Nor would anyone be likely to question the selection of so well mated a pair as Porthos and Ivanohee for-half back positions We cherish the memories of Kelly, Porter Butterworth, Outland and Ames, but where would be their fame as line plunging backs had Porthos v Dailon de Bracieux de Pierrepont ever donned a canvas jacket and hugged the elusive pigskin? Aud how could the team be better rounded than by placing at full-back, Athos, Comte de la Fere?
THE ALL-AMERICA ELEVEN
Berry Cochems Puts Three Westerners on His Representative Team.
Henry F. Cochems, the well known foot ball writer, has given out his selections for the All-America team of 1899. Not having seen many of the western elevens play, he has been handicapped somewhat, but the men as he has picked them probably come near to forming the strongest representative American team.
On the first eleven McLean of Michigan, Hamill of Chicago, and Curtiss of Wisconsin, are the only Western men to receive notice. On the substitute eleven Michigan receives her share of the favors, no less than three men being selected to take the places of the cracks, in case of injuries. Kennedy of Chicago and Peele and O'Dea of Wisconsin are among the list for substitutes.
For center on the first eleven Cochems picks Overfield of Pennsylvania on account of his powerful aggressive playing, and Cunningham of Michigan is selected as the substitute. For tackles Curtiss of Wisconsin is superior in effective playing to any tackle in the east, and Hillebrand easily next. Hare of Pennsylvania is conceded a guard's position and Edwards of Princeton is picked for his running mate. Brown of Yale and France of Michigan are selected as the substitutes. At end Campbell of Harvard, by his first season's work, proved that he was one of the greatest ends in the history of the game, and Hamill, by his three years' play, has earned a place on the All-America team, Snow of Michigan and Poe of Princeton are mentioned as substitutes. Daly of Harvard is considered the best quarter since the days of Phil King and Kennedy, the Chicago captain, is selected for the substitute eleven.
For full back Captain McCrade of Yale is given the choice, as his season's work has shown the best balanced individual playing and superior generalship. O'Dea is selected for the substitute as he excels in punting and handling puns in the back field, but is weak in carrying the ball and in interference. Reiter of Princeton and McLean of Michigan are given the coveted position of half back on account of their ability as ground gainers. The first and second All-America elevers, as selected by Cochems are as follows:
First Eleven. Second Team.
Campbell (Harv) left end, Snow (Mich.)
Curtiss (Win.) left tackle, Donald (Harv)
Hare (Pen.) left guard, Brown (Yale)
Overfield (Penn) center Cunningham (Mich)
