THE SEASON AT LAWRENCE AP-
PROACHING AN END.
JAYHAWKERS PLAY HASKELL TODAY

Vol. VIII. No. 8.
The football season in Lawrence is nearing a close. Today the Jayhawkers and the Haskell Indians play at the Lawrence Driving park just south of town and next week the State Normal school team from Emporia will play the 'Varsity team on McCook field. This will be the last game of the season here and there ought to be a big crowd out. The game against the Indians this afternoon promises to be a stubborn contest. The Indians have proven formidable antagonists this year for the Jayhawkers. They are good strong players andnder the coaching of Wylie G. Woodruff and 'Shorty' Hamil they have shown up in fine form. In the game on Sept. 30 on McCook field between the Indians and the Jayhawkers, the score resulted Kansas university, 12; Haskell of, which was the closest game the Jayhawkers have played this year. No other team has been able to hold the 'Varsity boys down like the Indian team did. The Indian team has been strengthened in a couple of weak places and has improved considerably in its playing since the other game. Kitts at right tackle, Dubois at left guard and Mitchell at full are all new men and are all strong additions to the team.
The Jayhawkers are considerably crippled, that is a couple of the regular men will probably be out of, the game, but there are some other good men to take their places. Tucker is still suffering from a badly sprained ankle and will not be able to be in the game. He sprained his ankle during last Saturday's game against Drake, when he put up such a magnificent game. Algie will probably take Tucker's place at tackle. Lucas has been sick and is not able to play. It is probable that Captain Avery will go to full and Moulton will play left half. Tucker and Lucas will probably be in the game again next week. Meehan is recovery slowly from his injured knee but still hopes to be able to go into the Thanksgiving game against the Missouri Tigers. He has been out practicing a little on McCook field this week, but is very careful not to injure his knee any more. Hess is playing a strong center in his place and is improving steadily. In case Meehan should not be able to go into the game Thanksgiving, Hess will fill that position admirably.
The game that was to be played at Manhattan today was cancelled because the Agricultural college team was not in condition to play. Several of the men having been injured in recent games. It suits the Jayhawkers better to play one instead of two games this week as several of the boys still feel the effect of the hard struggle with Drake last week.
GREEK SYMPOSIUM.
On November 13 the Jayhawkers go to Ottawa. On November 18 they go to Lincoln to play Nebraska university and on November 25 they play Washburn college at Topela. Then comes the big Thanksgiving game against the Missouri Tigers in Kansas City and on December 9 the Jayhawkers will close the season with Oklahoma university.
The K. U, second team has organized with the following players: Center, Ward; right guard, Baugartner; left guard, Rochester; right tackle, McGraw; left tackle, Orwig; right end, Harshberger, captain; left end, Meehan; quarter, Halderman; right half, Brown; left half, Emmett; full, Jenkinson. This team is being coached by Dr. Naismith and Sal Walker. The boys are showing up well. They play the Haskell Indian team today and will probably play the Kansas City High School. Topeka High School, Topeka Medics, and the Kansas City Medics second team in the near future.
The Greek Symposium meets this year on Wednesday afternoons, in the classical museum. Last week Prof. Wilcox spoke of the importance of a close study of the ancient Greeks, not only with regard to their love of beauty, but also of their religion and morals. For the next few weeks the time will be devoted to a study of Greek sculpture and architecture. Prof. Wilcox will illustrate his lectures by means of steriopticon views and by pictures on the north wall of the museum, for which special arrangement was made during the summer. A bird's eye view of the history of Greek Sculpture was given from the earliest times up to Lysippus. The Symposium promises to be very interesting this year and will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the students of Greek.
Echoes from the Y.W.C.A. Convention.
The fourteenth annual convention of the Y. W. C. A met at Emporia last Thursday, Oct. 18 Of the twenty-four associations in Kansas, seventeen had representatives present, besides the delegates from the one city association of Topeka, and from the state association.
In the evening, after the preparatory service, conducted by the state secretary, Miss Agnes Radford, Governor Stanley addressed the audience 'in the Presbyterian church, on "The power of Women's Influence." He spoke of the four-fold growth of man physically, socially, intellectually and spiritually, the last being the most important, and the one which comes most under woman's influence, since she has the earliest care of the child, and can make it what she will. The best agency for fashioning a child morally, is a good, tender, loving, thoughtful, careful, charitable woman. What is needed to help ove rcome the evils of the world is more of heart and soul culture.
Miss Berta Conde, college secretary of the American committee, addressed the delegates, at Emporia College, Friday morning, on the need of a deeper spiritual life in order to understand God, to understand how the human heart may be at peace with its God, to be a power for good, both during college life, and when life's work has been entered. This spiritual life can only be obtained by a careful study of the Bible, rcc companies by earnest prayer. "We should give our whole lives, our thoughts, studies, pleasures and friendships to the glorifying of God."
On Saturday evening Miss R. F. Morse gave an account of the work being done by the World's committee of the Y, W. C. A. of which she is one of the two American members. This committee organized in 1894, with headquarters at London, has charge of the missionary work in foreign fields. "The three things we can do to aid in this work—go, let others go, give." This committee has arranged to send to India this fall, one who needs no introduction to Kansans, Miss Laura Radford
The college girls of our state take a deep interest in this work, for our associations together with those of Indiana, will support Miss Radford in the foreign field. Miss Radford spoke to the girls on Sunday afternoon on missionary work, showing the great need for laborers. "There are 250,000,000 souls who will never know Jesus Christ except through Protestant church members. Who should be the ones to go? It rests upon you and me to do our part and we cannot do our best work at home. We must face it in a personal way. We cannot hope to be a success in something else if God wants us to be his workers. He only can show us how to decide the question, and He has called many of us to help evangelize the world." "Miss Radford enters this field gladly and surely no grander work could be given her.
The Gospel meeting on Sunday afternoon was led by Miss Cone. She said, 'The secret of power is to have the spirit of Christ dwelling in us. We need more humility and reverence; we must live such lives that others may know God through us. Let us make Christ real to our friends. Then there is a work for us to do. Think of the harvest in our schools; the things being done which are not right, the unwomanly things.'
An interesting account of the life of the German girl was given by Miss Rogene Scott of the Salina Wesylan University. Having spent three years of study in Germany she is well qualified to speak on this subject. German children are taught the Bible in the public school but only from
an intellectual, not a spiritual standpoint. Young men often enter the ministry just as they would any other profession not because they are called, but to make money. Some do not even believe the doctrines they teach. There the women must give way to the men in everything. A girl's education is finished at the age of fourteen or fifteen. Young women who go to Germany are regarded as cranks. Pastors are very jealous of any religious work started outside the church. Members of families may not come together for any religious purpose.
Bible studies were conducted by Miss Mayo, city secretary of Topeka, on the 'beliefs' of John; by Mrs. Hewitt, on 'Obstacles of Hindrance in Witnessing for Christ.' by Miss Dudley, Miss Radford and others.
The convention sermon was delivered by Dr S. A. Northurth of Kansas City, Mo. His text was Esther 4:14. "And who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this" He urged the need of women to work for women. She has played her part in retarding or advancing history, but in this day she is called especial.
On Sunday evening the pulpits of various churches were supplied with convention speakers, who endeavored to explain the scope of the association work. It develops not only the spiritual life of the college girl but also her social and physical. The city associations seek employment for girls who are out of work; hold night schools where these girls are educated for better works; open association parlors for them where they may have a good time and not be sorry for it afterward; give to the factory girl, confined daily in a close hot room. Places place to spend her evenings; and look up the girls who are not attending church. In short the work of the association is preventive rather than rescue, holding it as a greater thing to get control over these lives before they have fallen into sin, than to rescue them when tarnished and weakened by evil.
The farewell service was held at the Presbyterian church. After each delegation had expressed some thought which it intended to take home and apply in the association there, and after the leading speakers had given a final message, the delegates joined hands forming a circle around the room and sang, "Blest be the tie that Binds." Then each went home strong in the determination to let her life be one in which Jesus could be seen every day, and feeling more deeply than ever the force of our motto: "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord."—C. E. W.
The K. U. Glee Club.
Ed Copley, manager of the club, returned last Saturday from his preliminary tour of that part of the state which he ex-pects to visit, and reports great success in making dates.
Both clubs have settled down to work in dead easnest, and there is a good deal of competition for places on each of them. It has been determined to carry but two clubs this year, the separate banjoc club being considered a failure musically. However, there will probably be several banjos in the Mandolin club, which will include about ten men in all. The Glee Club will include twelve men. A number of the members are able to take part in each, thus reducing the whole number of men that it will be necessary to carry on the trip. It is the policy of the club to give as new and interesting a program as possible. All old "censors" will be relegated to second encores where it is quite probable they will not have to be unearthed. Prof Penny has assured the council that the club will be a musical success Mr. Copiey tells us that it will be a financial success, the boys all realize the importance of making it a representative success and there can be little doubt it will come back from its holiday tour a club to be praised and well received by its fellow students of the University.
The direction that the club will take is now practically settled. The southern and eastern part of the state will be covered and the following towns will be visited: Eldorado, Newton, Wichita, Wellington, Winfield, Arkansas City, Coffeeville, Independence, Parsons, Pittsburg, Galena, Joplin and Ft. Scott. Arrangements are still to be made in several towns. In almost all of these the concerts are placed in the hands of some local organization, so that financial success and a hospitable reception is assured for the club.

Array, Mr. Dooley—An its wid great acquaintment that Oi race in the pages iv the Star iv Kansas City U. S.A. in jur racent triumph i the Dryfus case. Be the holy Saint Patrick, Dooley, but I believe that as the Aurorie Boarie Alice if the twintieth century begin to shoot the splin-did rays iv the fronsy cocynuts iv the Philopeen Ollanders that ye'll be the comin' man. We're all dudge chust on ye's here in Kansas and if ye had been a citizen iv this Republic an whan Mr. Funston has gone back tu the Philopeens we'd make yeur Guenur or put ye's up fur congress in wav iv the utter deestricks. We all rade yur狠igrant papers and admire yeur patriotic sentiments. Givan Dooley says Ol! Hooray doole. But now Dooley since wid waitin fur action by the Face Conference ye threw the lies in the very tat iv the sacred dossier and saved Dryfus from the Frinch Jews wid out Mrs. Dryfus iwance writin a bake—why we're proud iv ye's.
An Dooley since ye've turned the eyes of the Frinch Nation to the Kansas City horse show, what du yu think iv the international yot race? Yis, Dooley, whin oi saw the bould Shamrock come proudly sailin through the dape as found wid me spoi glass where the beautiful yot was under the delicate sails. I just velled, "Hurray Ireland." But when the wind came up we bate the furrier every tome. An now Dooley, while our beloved cousin, the British, be pleading wid Krooger tu preserve the purity iv the ballot an' give thist at laim wan alderman in the Senate an Krooger says: "Liberty and independence we kape up the monopoly on dinnamite fur liver until Rhodes gave us wan anwan third fare u Cape Town, says Oi, Mr. Jameison, yu an yur noble band uV rough raiders better watch out fur that same dinnamite.
Sure Dooley in the South African question is a defiant dawn. The English say the Dutch children ate Dutch chase in skule an pollute the; beautiful language qI our forefathers. The Dutch Boors say the English want the whold blooming universe and they won't gave it tu thim nor recognize the thirteenth amendment.
But say Dooley, while these same beloved cousins are making their last stand in South Africa fur independence an the gold standards. lets bouldy come forward and tell the joint high commission tither gave us free joints an kape thirty lagues from the coast, or we'll take the fightin Twentieth an invade Canada.

Prof. Carruth on Frederick The Great.
In the October number of the Open Court appears an article on "The Religion of Frederick the Great" written by Prof. W. H. Carruth.
It is very generally supposed that the great emperor had no religion. But Prof. Carruth shows by quotations from the works and letters of the emperor that he had very decided beliefs on the mysteries of the universe and the greater problems of human life and destiny, the existence and nature of God, the nature of the soul and its future, the relation of the creature to the Creator, the right relation of the individual to his fellows.
The article is especially helpful as it explains the circumstances under which the emperor made the statements.
Frederick's beliefs are summed up as: The existence and goodness of God, the sufficiency of the motive of the highest happiness as a spring of action supported by the categorical imperative of the conscience, the excellence of Christian ethics, as well as that of all great religions, the duty of service to mankind and the state.
