DEFEATED OTTAWA SATURDAY AT

OTTAWA RECEIVED A SCORE BUT
The Ottawa fellows are a jovial, lusty lot and they play a spirited game, but they, too, were up against the real thing Saturday. The report that the visitors were crippled was somewhat on the "Yale" order when they showed much better form than when they played the Indians here three weeks ago. Their play was surer and switer and showed more skill than in the former game. A little care and some severe training would make them a strong team. Atwood, Gill, Shiras, and Banta are a fast quartet and would easily find a job on a good eleven.
The Varsity eleven knew it had a snap in the Baptists and so played to keep its clothes clean and save its atmosphere for the Drakes today. The Varsity played good ball but only one or two men played at a time. The team did not maintain its pristine vigor, not because it could not, but because there was a reason for taking things easy. The game did not possess the keen fascination that was so characteristic of the Washburn game.
There was nothing phenomenal about the game except the nerve displayed by Lambertson, who tried for a field goal at forty yards. Avery made a neat get away for forty yards and Moore did some pretty end running. Smith kicked goal and Moulton made a splendid showing at half during the latter part of the game. Wilcox made good gains through the Baptists. Tucker had his hands full with his man but made his usual gains.
FIRST HALF.
The game was called at 3:30. The 'Varsity kicked off. Evans advanced the ball ten yards and again leaped against the line for three yards. Cook and Atwood made three yards when the 'Varsity line took a brace and received the ball on downs. Avery made five yards around the visitor's right end. Wilcox found an opening in the line for ten and then Avery, Moore, Lucas and Tucker hurried the ball to the visitors' five yard line when Wilcox carried it over. Owen kicked goal, time 10:30.
Ottawa kicked off, Moore caught she ball and by clever dodging advanced it twenty-five yards. Avery and Tucker made ten more and Moore lost five on account of the work at left end. The oval went to the visitors who were compelled to resort to a quarter back kick which fell to Moore who earned ten yards. The visitors again secured the ball on a fumble. Atwood went over for five yards and Owen blocked Shiras' punt, which fell to Nofisinger, who made a pretty getaway for thirty yards. Avery carried the ball over for the second touchdown. Tucker missed goal. Time, 7:30. Ottawa kicks off. Owen advances the ball
Tucker sent the ball into the visitors' territory. Gill, Atwood and Shiras made slight gains when the ball went to the Varsity on downs. Avery made a good dash for forty yards and a touchdown. Smith kicked goal. Lambertson kicked off. Lucas made a great advance for twenty yards. Moulton and Moore advanced the ball twenty yards. Atwood got Owen's quarterback kick when Lambertson the visitors tried a field goal. The ball fell to Lucas: Moore dashed down the field for thirty yards. Moulton ditto and Tucker carried the ball over for the fourth touchdown. Smith kicked goal. After the kick off the 'Varsity secured another score in five minutes and Smith again kicked goal. K.

Like Old Times.
The last two or three weeks have seemed quite like old times in the matter of class exercises. The Freshmen and Sophomores have been at it hard and heavy. The Sophomore engineers started the ball a couple of weeks ago when they decorated the roof of the grand stand with "Eng. o3" in letters that could easily be seen from the campus. The Freshmen attempted to obliterate the offending sign and since then there has been at least one scrap a week and sometimes more. Friday night is the favorite time for the contests and on Saturday morning the Freshmen came to breakfast with heavy eyes and a careworn look, and then go home to sleep off the effects of a night of vigilance on McCook field.
That is the center of disturbance, and the grand stand, fence, and everything else that will show a paint mark, have been decorated with the class years of the opposing parties and other symbols until it seems that almost enough paint had been applied to cover the entire surface, if spread on properly.
Occasionally parties of warriors from the opposing tribes meet, and then there is trouble. Or occasionally unwary representatives of one class or the other will fall into the hand of, a party from the opposing camp, and will be tied to a tree and left to meditate upon the variety of life until some of their comrades arrived to release them and so it goes.
Chauncey Depew.
This famous after dinner speaker's remarkable success in convulsing a festive gathering is attributed to his gift for retaining and retailing the bright witty stories he has gathered from the various humorous sources and his art of knowing how to use them by way of illustrating in a happy vein some serious point in his subject. He is said to have once remarked that his fount of humorous inspirations was a good old time minstrel show whenever he visits Richardson & Pringle's famous Georgia Minstrels, he he is always made a guest of honor, and the performers play to him and never fail to crack their latest budget of jokes, songs, and dialect stories for his delectation. This big show is a flowing fount of pleasure to countless thousands every year, this season above all others it has reached the high water mark of perfection and is so rich and varied in vaudeville, minstrel and other good features, that it is a stimulating source of unceasing mirth. Fifty performers fairly bubbling with fun are let loose at every performance and play havoc with the rehearsal and an audience. Singers, dancers, comedians, bicyclists, wire walkers, and Hassan Ben Ali's famous troupe of Arabs. Two big military bands, the popular Alabama Quattettee, a spectacular cakewalk final are among its many features. A street parade with two bands will be seen at 2:30 p.m. to herald the advent of this big show. They will appear at Bowersock's Opera House, Tuesday, October 24.

Pride in personal appearance is praiseworth. A student should have clean hands, pearly teeth, well kempt hair. These are easily attained and maintained by the use of Borealine, Quillaya and Germania; the first for the skin, the second a dentifrice, unrivalled, the last a hair tonic and dandruff remover.

DRAKE WAS EASY.
THEY WERE ENTIRELY OUT-CLASSED AT EVERY POINT OF THE GAME. BLISS AND SNYDER WERE THE STARS FOR THE VISITORS.
THE FFATURES OF THE GAME
When Bliss and Snyder's Get Away and the Great Touchdown of Gavin, Owens and Tucker. The Score Was 29 to 6 by the 'Varsity.
Today's game has been locked forward to for weeks as the game of the season. From the record which Drake has made it was known that the game would be a strong one, and after it was assured that Nebraska would not play here, it was realized that this would be the only game in Lawrence which would jest the mettle of our team.
Both sides were equally confident. Drake came down fully expecting to win, while the 'Varsity was in prime condition and has been practicing signals behind closed gates.
The Varsity and visitors line up and weights were as follows:

The Drake team stayed over night in Kansas City, and did not reach Lawrence until this morning
Such a game as this always draws the boys back, and yesterday and today they have been coming in thick. The great interest in the game also brought many others from Topeka and Kansas City.
As usual the society people of Lawrence and the University made this a social event. The side lines were filled with gaily decorated carriages and the bleachers held a number of line parties.
The mass meeting yesterday did its work well, and every one was there to vell and it did it with all his might.
The day was not all that could be desired but the teams in their preliminary practice showed that they were going to play snappy ball.
