LAWRENCE, KAN., NOV. 25, 1899.
Go to Kansas City next Thursday
Don't forest the megaphones. Missouri expects to have at least fifty of them there and we don't want to be behind.
The easy practice which the boys are getting at Topika today will just keep them in good condition for the game next week.
We notice in the Western College Magazine for November how well it is filling the field which it has entered. It is in every sense an inter-collegiate magazine and oength to form a bond of union between the colleges which it represents.
The addition of the three mile run to the list of track events has increased the interest in cross-country runs in the east. It is a little bit late to talk that here but it ought to be done. It is fine for all track men and there are lots of others who would enjoy that sort of thing.
We spoke a while back about the performance of Wheeler of Grinnell as a remarkable thing. But Benedict of Nebraska, has beaten that record by kicking four field goals in the game with Kansas last Saturday. It was a remarkable exhibition which but goes to strength what has been said, lately about field goals counting too much. Had Nebraska not been against a team as greatly superior as our own, the goal kicking, might have won the game, even though the opposing team was the better in every other respect. Kansas' score of 36 shows how little the Nebraska team could do without Benedict. Yet as the rules stand the scores were fairly won, and they are a tribute to the ability of the one man who made them.
There is going to be a great game of football played in Kansas City next Thursday, one of the best games that most of us have had a chance to see, and Kansas University is going to be in it—strictly in it. Therefore Kansas University ought to go up and do the right thing by the boys who are to represent us in that game. You can wait three weeks longer to go home, and it will pay you to go to Kansas City, especially with the prospects of two games on the same day. We have had our regular Thanksgiving storm this week, and some eminent authorities (on football and weather too) declare that next week's weather is going to be fine. Missouri always has a train load of rooters there, as far as they have to come. We should certainly do likewise, or better. Go to Kansas City.
About two weeks ago the Sigma Ch1s challenged the Betas to a game of foot ball. Wednesday the game came off and the victory went to the Betas, as it has for the last five years. The Sigma Ch1s will, though beaten, deserve great credit for their courage in offering the challenge. It is this spirit that makes foot ball in Kansas University. Inter-fraternity and class and other games serve to promote the spirit of the game and develop men who might never think of coming out on McCook to try for the team. Why don't the Phi Delta wake up and challenge somebody, they have lots of men? What is the matter with the Sigma Nus and all the others? Why don't we have some good class games? The shortgrass
eleven is at work and also the Arkansas Valley eleven. It is a good thing, push it along and make good football. It does not matter very much who wins or whether the games are particularly interesting. It is sport and exercise and tends to make good football for the Varsity.
We publish some more football songs this week. They can be very effective if properly used, and ought to be practiced by the whole school. At most Universities these songs help to enlist things at the "enthusiasm" meetings, and we would suggest that something of the kind be done here next week. We ought to have a meeting and if we do lets try these songs and see how they would sound at Kansas City.

the eighteenth annual state convention of the Young Men's Christian association of Kansas convened at Ottawa November 16-19. Our University was represented by twenty-seven men while the total attendance was 246 delegates of whom 172 were college men. International Secretary Rose announced that the college section was the largest of any convention he had attended, which comes as a high compliment to college work in this state. Throughout the gathering K. U. was a decidedly prominent factor, our delegation was the largest, our delegates were the most prominent as witnessed by the election of Tangeman vice president of the convention; Withington, Lander and Hanson were in charge of various sectional conferences; Hischler was organist throughout the convention while Sams and Cotley led the singing, and Simpson of the Twentieth Kansas was to present the army work of the Y. M. C. A., but was unable to be present. When it came to reports of work done in the various colleges we were again gratified to see the superiority of K. U. over all others. The convention was of value then as it demonstrated to our friends over the state that some good thing may come even from the State University.
The convention was a thorough success in every respect; the large number of delegates was entertained handsomely big the Ottawa people. The program was among the strongest ever given at a state convention, and the whole conference marks an advance in association work in the state.

The opening session Thursday evening was presided over by Mr. Bruno Hobbs, who was later elected president of the convention. Mr. Hobbs is a graduate of the K U. Law school and is located at Kansas City, where he has a large practice. After the regulation welcome and responses, addresses were given by three of the international secretaries: Michner presented the work in cities, McDill gave a bairdsey a view of railroad work, Rose told of what our colleges are doing. Kansas work was reviewed by the [chairman, Mr. Hobbs]. The association in this state is organized in twenty-four branches, seven cities and three raleroad branches; the work at Argentine was organized six month ago, and already has 400 members; similar encouraging reports came in from many points in the state.
One of the strongest addresses of the convention was that on "The Power of Prayer," delivered by Dr. Bradt of Wichita, at the session Friday morning.
Dr. Fisk, of Topeka, spoke in a powerful manner on "Christian Manhood"
Saturday forenoon Rev. W. C. Vezzie inspired the delegates with a sermon on the theme, "The Highest Life." C. C. Michner succeeded him in a presentation of the financial problem, and succeeded in raising $700 among the delegates, to be applied on a $4,500 budget for the new years work.
Saturday afternoon the convention mei in sections, the college men's conference was in charge of H. W. Rose and P. O Hanson, while the delegates from city and railroad associations meet with Michner and McDill. In the evening Governor Stanley arrived; he was met at the train by as noisy a crowd of students as ever celebrated a football victory, when he entered the church he was given the Chataquna salute. His address was on "The Worth of the Work" and was in general a presentation of opinions of the Y. M. C. A. work as expressed by leading men of all classes.

Sunday, at least 750 man assembled at 3 o'clock to hear Engineer McClure of Emporia. This proved to be one of the strongest meetings of the convention, and resulted in many conversions. The closing session was held in the opera house where about 2,000 people assembled to hear Governor Stanley and C. C. Michner. The local work was presented and $1,500 subscribed to sustain the association there. Finally the delegates joined hands and encircled the large hall while they sang "Blest Be the Tie that Binds," then Rev. Veachi announced the year text after which the delegates stood with their united hands raised while the benediction was pronounced.
The following men represented our University; they were chaperoned by Secretary Hanson:
