FOOTBALL: THE COLLEGE GAME
In spite of all that has been said against football by the cranks) who oppose it, football continues to be the great college game, and one which is almost monopolized by the colleges. Over 100 games are scheduled to be played today by college teams. Much interest may be aroused by base ball or other athletic contests, but it takes a football game where the chances are close to arouse in a college crowd the enthusiasm which fills the air with fluttering colors and with the reverberations of the college vells.
And there are good reasons for the immense popularity of the game. It is a game where every man has something to do and that all the time; where interest is sustained from the moment when the referee's whiskey puts the ball in play until the pliskig is shoved over the goal line amid the cheers of the crowd, and it has its influence on the players.
Life is a struggle—a contest—all the way through, and it is the man who can hold his own and break through the line that is destined for success.
A man must be trained to hold his own position in the field and, when he has guarded that, to back up the line. This has an effect on the men. Two well-known football men have often been mentioned as showing the pluck and tenacity in "backing up the line," which they learned on the football field. One is Osgood of Pennsylvania, who died in Cuba while fighting for the cause of freedom. The other is Gill of Princeton now one of the most energetic and determined of the missionaries in China.
Some of the young ladies of the University have taken exceptions to our editorial last week, in which the University men were urged to attend football practice. It was certainly not through any intention of ours that the ladies were omitted, for their presence would certainly cheer on the team if anything would.
In their game last Saturday both Haskell and Ottawa showed that they are foemorous worthy of our steel. The game this afternoon will determine what showing Haskell can make against us, and two weeks from today the Ottawa team will have a chance to show its ability on the gridron.
We are glad to see that the band has organized again. That was an organization that did great work last year at Kansas City and Ottawa, and throughout the year, and which deserves encouragement now. ___
Washburn comes next Saturday to play football. We shall treat them right and show them a good time, but at the same time demonstrate that our superiority is as great on the gridiron as on the diamond.
M. S, U. has reorganized her Athletic Association under the name of a Physical Culture Club. That sounds more appropriate for the exponents of Delarte than for a football team which is expected to defeat Kansas.
Every student should be a member of the Athletic Association anyway, and the five good football games for $1.50 certainly offers a good investment.

SOCIETY.
The Sigma Chi hop last Friday evening was a very enjoyable affair.

Invitations have been issued for the marriage of Miss Emma Barber and Mr. Gomer Thomas of Kansas City. The wedding will take place on Oct. 9, and will be a quiet home wedding with a large reception afterwards. Miss May Riggs will act as maid of honor, and Mr. Clyde Nichols will be best man. Both bride and groom are very well known in University circles as they graduated here in the class of '97. Miss Barber is a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta and Mr. Thomas of the Beta Theta Pi.
The first Pi Phi tea of the year was given Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Perkins. These teas will be given every other week by the Alumnae association of the Pi Beta Phi fraternity, for the benefit of their scholarship fund.
The Entre Nous Whist Club held a meeting Tuesday and elected new members to the club. The new members are Misses Laura Graham, Mame Scammon, Myrtle Collins, Nina Crawford, Gladys Morgan and Amber Robinson.
The PiPhis had their first initiation of the year at the home of Mrs. W. T. Sinclair in West Lawrence. After the initiation proper an original farce was given and later the usual jolly cookey-shina. The initiates were Misses Laura Morse, Kate Dinsmoor, Mary Copley, Edith Riffle and Cecil Leland.
The young ladies of the Kappa Kappa Gamma fraternity entertained very delightfully Friday evening with a hop in the new hall, which has just been fitted up. Excellent music was furnished for the dancing and many out of town guests were present. Among them were Misses Berta Miller, Edythe Parker, Bell Jones and Mr. Barnes of Kansas City.
The Theta held their annual fall initiation last Saturday night at the home of Miss Jeanneette Wheeler. The girls initiated were Misses Nellie Wilhelmi, Louse Alder, Mary Barnette, Isabelle Hazen, Bertha Badsky, Edith Allen and Maud Brown.

A FOREST SCENE
Which fans the perfumed air.
Droll silence reigns thro' all the wood.
And she appears as wise.
Beneath them sit the pretty child,
On the earth which slopes below.
(TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN)
While 'round her darts the bright-hued
fly.
On the curly sides flowers swirl.
She sits midst the flowers sweet,
The bough hang o'er her low. Beneath them, sits the pretty child.
The cuckoo songs his song from 'far;
She 'sums a dill rent mien.
Her auburn hair, it gilds the rays
Which come thru, mid-day skies
How brilliant shine her childish eyes;

The names on the roll of students taking shop work reached the roo mark this week; forty-eight of these are new names.
It was necessary to have classes in forge work on Saturday to accommodate all who take that work and the instructor, Mr Hanson, is pleased to see the interest which is manifest by the way the students work with hammer and hot iron. He has been giving them work swinging the sledge where two students strike alternately on the same anvil, which makes a fair substitute for work in physical training which is not required of them.
The fire station which was installed this summer in Fowler Shops is in operation; a night engineer is on duty to keep up steam, and the electric light plant is kept running until 11 o'clock every night to furnish light for the library or other buildings as required.
The engines and machinery in the engine room have been painted and with a few exceptions of minor character everything is in first class condition. The large fire pump adds much to the appearance of this room.
The New Sigma Chi House:
The fraternity men of the University have long felt the need of chapter houses, and while many have rented houses and done what they could to supply this want, yet until this year there has been no house built especially for that purpose.
FOWLER SHOPS.
The New Sigma Chi House
This year, however, the Sigma Chis have just cause to be proud of their beautiful home at 1024 Ohio street. It is a cozy little brick house provided with modern conviviences. As yet the basement is incomplete as the men are undecided as to the details of the finishing. It is quite probable that it will be converted into a dancing hall and a gymnasium.
With the aid of their friends the Sigma Chis are very tastefully furnishing their house. Mr. Henley has presented a piano which will be a source of much pleasure. Ruqs, sofa pillows, table scarfs and pictures have been presented by friends and relatives of the boys. A particularly interesting idea in the line of pictures is the beautiful collection of pictures in the hall.
The library is also a unique part of the building and is rapidly being filled with substantial volumes of the best authors. This energy on the part of the Sigma Chis shows them to be an interesting and aggressive fraternity.
Mrs. Smith's Work in the City Schools
Mrs. Smith works in the City Schools Mrs. McCollum Smith has been elected supervisor of physical training in the city schools, and the young women who are taking the teachers' course in physical training on the hill, are to assist her in the work. Mrs. Smith teaches the city teachers, and once a week a teacher from the University goes into each room in each building and gives drill work to the pupils, which the city teachers conduct during the remainder of the week. Thus the young woman who are preparing to be physical directors have the opportunity of gaining experience under Mrs. Smith's guidance. The young women who have already been assigned work are Misses Gertrude Becker, Myrtle Lasley, May Cora Peck.
