THE FOOT BALL SEASON
IS NEARING ITS END AND THE TEAMS
HAVE SHOWN WHAT THEY
SIN DO
GAMES IN THE EAST AND WEST.
CAN DO.
Have Proven That the Westerners Can Play Football-Kansas' Good Team
The football season is nearing its close Of course the Thanksgiving games remain to be played, which are really the decisive ones, but enough games have been played by all the teams, so that a tolerably reliable estimate of their strength may be made on that basis.
In the beginning Harvard has easily the lead over all the eastern teams, and is in the opinion of experts, ten to fifteen points stronger than any other team. Harvard's record is unbroken, and their defeat of Carlisle, which had wiped the earth with Pennsylvania showed how the Quakers are from their old time form.
The wearers of the crimson will easil come out in the lead this year.
Yaale is doing good work while Princeton is hardly up to the work expected, while Pennsylvania the last of the "Big Four" has sadly deteriorated. The team which led the country has been badly beaten by the Indians, by Lafayette and most any old team that bucks up against her.
The Carlisle team has kept up its former record and although beaten by Harvard has shown itself worthy of being classed among the leaders. Columbia has taken quite a spurt and by defeating one of the Big Four has gained some fame.
It is the teams of the Middle West that have come into prominence this year Chicago has done herself proud by badly defeating Cornell and tieing Pennsylvania while Michigan put up a stiff fight against Yale. All of which goes to prove that the eastern Universities no longer have a monopoly of crack football teams and crack players and that the west can show them a thing or two right now. Of course Chicago and Wisconsin are the leading teams in the west, but Michigan has a strong team and will play Cornell a good game.
The Missouri Valley universities are coming into more prominence. There are several teams in this class that could put up a good fight against Michigan and Chicago.
The universities of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa and some of the others like Drake and Ames, have for the last few years had teams which showed great ability.
This year the race is between Kansas and Missouri, but the odds are in favor of Kansas.
Kansas has an unbroken record of victories, while Missouri has only one defeat, that by Drake. Kansas defended Drake by a larger score than Drake did Missouri, which seems to give good assurance of our superiority.
The Kansas team has the strongest collection of football players that has been seen on McCook field for several years. The line men are stronger and quicker, the backs swiffer and stronger than in years past and the whole team is composed of men who play fast football.
Mechan and Hess have been playing center. Mechan started the season but an accident put him out of the game and he was replaced by Hess. Both are good men and either would have the full confidence of all the supporters of the team on Thanksgiving day. Smith and Woodward both old men who won their "K" last year, are playing guards and doing it well. They are strong on offense and defense and make the line pretty nearly like a stone wall when the other people have the ball.
Tucker and Wilcox both of last year's team are at tackles. They are especially fitted for a system by which tackles carry the ball as both are fast and good ground gainers as the history of every game played this year will demonstrate.
Gavin one of last year's subs is playing left end and putting up a hard and heady game. Nofissinger at the other end is a new man but he gets into the game from start to finish and has shown his right to stay in fast company.
reliable a quarter back as could be wished,
Captain Avery and Moore have shown marked ability as half back while Moulton has also put his sprinting ability to good use in the games in which he has played.
Lucas has played a good game at full back, but on account of sickness has often been replaced by Avery or Algie who has been used as fullback or in the line.
The back field is about as well filled as could be desired. "Bennie" owen is
Taking the team as a whole we need have no fear of the results Thanksgiving Day. The Tigers tail will be twisted once more and in Columbia there will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.
SEMINARY OF ECONOMICS AND SOCILOGY.
SOCIOLOGY
The seminary of economics and sociology met last Monday afternoon in Fraser hall at its usual hour.
Mr Flint Wemple, who has been mak ing a special investigation of railroad investigation of railroad conditions for the last two years, presented a report upon "Present Condition of the Debt of the Pacific Railroad to the Government," in which he traced the history of the debt, and measures taken at different times to meet payment.
Mr Kane, 99, next read a paper upon the subject of "The Legal Responsibility of the Morally Insane," and illustrated from history the different prevailing ideas of early jurists upon that subject. He showed the tendency of the present to carefully discriminate between the irresistible impulse of the insane, and the premeditated viciousness of the intellectually sound; and at the same time brought out the point that it is of the greatest difficulty that a line can be drawn distinguishing the two cases. Mr Kane will continue his investigations and report further upon the subject later.
Prof. Cone, at its close, made a few remarks upon the manner in which the government loan was made, and upon possible results had a different method been adopted.
After this the seminary will meet every Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock, instead of Monday afternoon.
THE INTELLECTUAL CO-ED
To t: Distinguished From the Giddy Ground.
A movement is being considered by some of the girls and their advisors to take a radical step in dress reform. They intend to establish a style of wearing apparel which will be peculiar to the girls of the university of Michigan. They are going to cut loose from the rules of society, and live under the direction of hygiene.
The plans of the leaders of this movement have not as yet crystallized into any vision of how the 'hygienic Co-ed' will look. However, as is proper to an intellectual movement, they have commenced at the head and decided upon a style of hat.
The hats with many feathers will all be discarded for they are too heavy an oppression on a young girl's head. Even the tam-oshanter will have to give way to the "hygienic hat." This hat is to be of soft felt, and thus not at all cumbersome. Headaches will be a thing of the past. It will be an imposing sight when all the girls on the campus appear in this distinctive headgear.
The hats will be in various colors and this is now causing a great amount of worry. The girls are arguing the delicate question of allowing each girl to select whatever color suits her complexion and taste, or to assign a definite color to each class. Accompanying each hat will be numbers of white felt these are to be sewed on the hat and will proclaim the class to which the weater belongs. Samples of the hats have already been ordered and will soon be on exhibition and as soon as the color question is decided, they will be placed on sale. — U. of M. Daily.
BIOLOGICAL CLUB.
The object of the experiments was to ascertain whether the heart was receiving proper nutrition while under this great pressure caused by the exertions. Experiments were made on cat's hearts that
Dr. Ida Hyde read a paper before the club Tuesday on "The Influence of the Distention of the Heart on the Bloodsupply to the Heart." She said; "Such occurrences are frequent in mountain climbing, excessive muscular exercise, bod carrying and in clinical care."
were being fed on dehidrated blood at body temperature and the volume of blood was noted while the heart was subjected to varying pressures. The result in every case was that increased pressure stimulated the heart to greater activity while at the same time the blood going to the heart tissue decreased in volume. In a heated heart then, when the pressure was increased the heart beat more frequently and violently while the pressure lasted and the bloodflow decreased in volume: when the heart was relieved of pressure it either stopped or beat very slowly and faintly. This may explain the cause of heart failure, in cases of extreme exertion when the heart becomes exhausted, and being insufficiently fed is incapable of further activity.
Mr. Sellards reviewed a paper by Marsden Mansion of San Francisco on "A New Theory to Account for Changes of Climate on the Earth During Geological Time." Mr. Sellards said: "Mr. Manson attempts to prove that there have been two great stages of climates. The first lasting from the beginning of geological time to the ice age during which climate was controlled by internal earth-heat and was consequently independent of latitude. There were no zones of climate. The second lasting from the culmination of the ice age to the present time. The ice age he argues was the natural result of the peculiar properties of water which as liquid stored an immense amount of heat in the warm oceans; as vapor and clouds surrounded the earth and kept out solar heat durinfif the first stage of climatic development; and as ice stored a great ceal of cold during the ice age.
At the culmination of the ice age the atmosphere was cleared of clouds and the sun allowed to act. Since then thera has been zonal distribution of climate and a gradual rise in temperature due to the heat trapping power of the atmosphere.

Good Words for A. C. Scott.
Hon A. C. Scott is scoring a notable success as president of the Still later college, says the Norman Transcript. The fine executive ability displayed is a revelation to his most sanguine and intimate friend, and he is making the agricultural college one of the best in the West. He is a university graduate—of the University of Kansas—has evidently "struck his gait" in his life work, and will become one of the most educated educators of Oklahoma.
