LAWRENCE, KAN., NOV. 4, 1899.
This idea of football songs is a good thing. Let us have more of them.
We have had many meetings and very successful ones too, but as yet we have had no regular University convocation. Isn't it almost time for one?
Kansas University graduates are having honors then t upon them. W.B. Graham received a scholarship from Columbia University which he was not expecting.
In two weeks the football team goes to Lincoln. Although Nebraska stands n chance of winning she will probably play good ball, and, it is to be honed will accord us better treatment than on the last trip to Lincoln.
Lawrence Journal: John Steele says that when the Kansas boys gave the "Rock Chalk" yell and started for the Filipino tranches, the black fellows would break away and take to the brush like rabbits. One day the boys sprang to their feet, gave the yell and then dropped back into their trenches. But the Filipines never stopped to see whether they were coming or not. They gave one mighty yell and broke for the bamboos.
The reception to the Twentleth was a great success. The Capital says that it wired its Lawrence correspondent for the names of University students who would attend and he sent the catalogue. That was about it. The whole University was there to do honors to the Kansas—many of them old classmates of ours—who had been fighting for the flag in the far-off Phillipplins. It was a great day and one which we shall long remember. The Twentleth deserves all the receptions which were given to it and the people of Kansas are the ones who can give it.
That was hap big Indian talk that full back Mitchell of the Haskell team had in the Friday edition of the Journal last week. The theme of Mr. Mitchell's discourse was "Why Haskell Should Win." In this article he spoke of the good quality of the Indian team and what each Indian would do with his particular K. U. man. He told everything except that Mr. Mitchell is the best full back in the Mississippi Valley That the Indians have two cracks from Carlisle—cracks who could get a job on the Carlisle eleven and that the Indians have been in training a month longer than the 'Varsity. Mr. Mitchell spoke particularly of what Dubois would do to Smith. Well that is a joke. Smith did not know he had a man against him. Mitchell also spoke of the strength of the Haskell ends. The 'Varsity made all its galos around the ends, neither of which could stop an ice wagon. Of course Haskell has a fast team the best in the state outside of the 'Varsity, but Mr. Mitchell's team never could earn a touchdown on the 'Varsity either by playing or writing for the "Journal." Even Dr. Woodruff's coaching cannot make an Indian play football.
The basket ball men are to have a chance to go up against Yale this year. We are glad of it and believe we can show them how to play the game. It would be a good thing if basket球 became a regular intercollegiate game as it
can be played throughout the year and would fill up the time between football and base ball seasons.
Olvine one more game is to be played in Kansas, the one with Washburn on the 25th. K U. has shown this year that she clearly outclasses all Kansas colleges, and ought to have a chance at some of the larger universities of the middle-west. We believe that such a team as Kansas has this year could make a good show against Wisconsin, Michigan and Chicago, and we would like to have a chance.
THE COLLE+E GRADUATE.
(Respectfully referred to the class of '99.)
I've just come home from college, and I'm going to make things hum.
I'll set the money rolling fast and strike the people dumb.
I guess I'll corner markets or construct a rousing play,
But prominence I'm bound to get in some quick, easy way.
Perhaps I'll be an editor or write for magazines—
I'll show them my diploma, oh, they all know what that means!
They'll put me right into the place of some old foovate.
When I go down and tell them I'm a college graduate!
I'm thinking some of poetry; it's such an easy thing
To find some words that rhyme a bit, as string and bring and sing.
And put them down on paper, with some other ones, you know.
And fix them round in order while you watch the poem grow.
They tell you of the feolws, though, who
get them all sent back
With little pritted notices, "Enclosed does merit lack."
But they will treat me different—they will scan the paying rate
When I go down and tell them I'm a college graduate.
I don't shink much of business, though—there is too small a sphere.
And then they always start you out and pay you year by year.
You do not get the chance, you know—ths chance you might have had
If you had waited longsr, or perhaps gone in with dad.
But what's a person going to do, their father being gone?
Oh, that's a proper question for some men to work upon.
But as to me, I've settled it—they'll open wide the gate
When I go down and tell them I'm a college graduate!
There are so many tempting things just st
standing still for you
That really one cannot decide exactly what to do.
And most of them are far beneath the place you ought to be—
A man who's educated and accorded a degree.
And they're so few who get a chance to go to college now
That when you want a job today they don't ask why or how.
But simply talk a while with you and hold out tempting bait
When you do down and tell them you're a college graduate.
FOOTBALL REFORM.
Efforts in behalf of reform lead to various results. The Colorado College Tiger gives some rules for football which, if followed, would free the game from the present attending danger and make it very (?) interesting. We copy a few of the rules to give an idea of the reformed game: Before the ball is put in play after a down, the captain shall line up his men and count them off as follows:
Stinklum, stanklum — I. O. U.—Buck!"
The player, on the word "buck" shall be known as "it." He shall kneel beside the ball, and the members of the opposing team shall line up opposite. The player known as "it" shall repeat: "Simon says 'thumbs up' or "Simon says 'thumbs down'!" indicating the movement as he speaks the words, and the players of the opposing team must imitate his movements. But if he merely says "Thumbs up" without the "Simon says," and an opposing player puts his thumbs up, that counts one; and after three such mistakes the ball is advanced five yards. If, however, after twenty trials, the opposing team does not make a total of three errors, then the ball goes to the opposing team and is advanced on a "tag" play.
Phileson, pholeson, Nicholas, John!
Query, quavy.
On a "tag" play, the member of the team who stands highest in his classes is given the ball to run with it. The opposing players must touch him as he runs and say: "Tag; you it's it!" but if he has his fingers crossed at the time he does not have to stop. If his fingers are not crossed
English navy;
"Onery, onery, ickervan!
he must put the ball down. Any opposing player who is slapped three times on back by a member of the runner's team is called "out" and cannot "tag" any runner. A runner cannot be "tagged" while he is touching wood.
SOCIETY.
The young men of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity gave a most delightful hop Friday evening in Frazer hall. Music was furnished by Buch's orchestra and dancing was enjoyed until a late hour. After the party was over the Phi Gams held their first initiation. The new man are Messrs. Walter Hess, Edd Gohegan, Will Garssid and A. J. Lindsley.

Invitations have been received here for the marriage of Miss Nell Sands to Mr. Alexander G. Crawshaw. The wedding will take place in Ph ladelphia on Wednes day, November 15. Miss Sauds is very well known in Lawrence. She is a University girl and a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma. The news of her marriage will be a surprise to her many friends.
Last Tuesday evening about thirty couple of young people went out to Lake View and had a most jolly Halloween party. Supper was served at o'clock and then dancing began. The crowd drove home at a late hour.
Among those who went down to Grand Opera in Kansas City last week were Misses May Sexton, Lou Havens, Rachel Pugh, Carrie Watson, Anna Warfield, Edna Warkentin, Gortrude Devereux, Louise Moore, Ida Smith, Zillah Smith, Mary Gardner, Edith Riffle, Hattie Robinson, Marie Morris, Messr. Hamilton, Garver, Hutchinson, Warkentin, Prof. a d Mrs. Templin and Prof. and Mrs. Farrell.
Miss Alice Penfield gave a very delightful Halloween party on last Tuesday evening.
Mrs. F. H. Hodder has sent out invitations for a large reception to be given Saturday November 11 in honor of Mrs. Frederick Funston and Mrs. F. L. Webster of Denver.
Go to Courtney & Bakter for fine millinery goods, 716 Kansas avenue Topeka.
The Y. M. C. A. boys had a very jolly Hallowe'en party Tuesday night at their house on Kentucky street.
When you go to Topeka stop in at the Topeka Cash Dry Goods Co., 713 and 715 Kansas avenue and get a Funston cane to celebrate with. It is the noisiest thing in town.
It isn't necessary for us to mention the popularity of the GoF Cape this season. The manufacturers are overwhelmed with orders beyond their capacity to supply. The express has brought us the past four days a beautiful line which we offer at $10. They look good and would be cheap enough at $12.50.
When in Topka, examine the fine line of Millinery goods at Courtney & Baxter's, 716 Kansas avenue, Topka.
They swam the rivers flowing there, and sought the fos hid in his hair.
Hurra! they're here, give them good cheer
The lils of foreign climes they stood;
They dashed o'er plain and thro' the wood.
THE GALLANT TWENTIETH.
WEAVER'S.
The canoes roast from shore to shore Will welcome them for me and you.
They touched the strings of vanging Fate,
and his whispered Dutch were most like
They sent the lot to Mother. Earth.
And won the battles day by day.
Proud Kansas' loyal soss in blue!
With outstretched arms and welcome kiss—
And now, they're here—with us once more,
Fold mothers meet them at the door.
Long may they live, these lails so brave—
The pride of Unilee's domain.
Again there is parental bliss.
Ring out their names thro' all the land With all your might and main.
Yes; write their names on hist'yrs' page,
as heroes of the golden age:
And link their deeds with those of old,
As deeds of soldiers true and bold!

Football Songs.
It is quite a prevalent custom in most universities to have football songs to be sung by the rooters. The idea has been taken up here and we give some samples of those which are being prepared for Thanksgiving.
(Tune—All I Want Is My Black Baby Back.)
Now Missouri show what you can do,
We believe you're "yellow through and
You have quite a reputation
But you're not the whole creation
And the Kansas all are "on to" you
(tune of Hello My Baby.)
Hello Missouri, Hello you Tigers.
Hello you football lads.
