CLAY CENTER, 28 TOO.
An Exciting Game on Hillside in Which Everybody Recited for the University Boys.—The Winning Plays.
Plays.
The Short Grass Football Team was successful in arranging for but one game during the holidays. This was with Clay Center on December 26. Considerable local feeling had been worked up on account of the local team's defeat at the hands of the University boys last year and a large and enthusiastic crowd gathered to see the game. Clay Center had brought in players from all over that part of the country including a member of the Kansas City Medic term; one from Ottawa university; two from Deloitte and two from Ciften. The "Varsity" boys were lacking Tucker and Algie aud when the game was called

Mr. Snyder, alias Josias Smartweed of Belleville, and a former K. U. student, acted mascot for our boys and made all kinds of sport for the spectators.
Campbell is Ottawa's full-back and played a heady game
NOTES.
Reynolds, though rather light plays a wonderfully skillful and plucky game at quarter.
The half-backs were at a great disadvantage even to Tucker's absence, and
Farrett was chlped to take his place at left half. Kramer, who had never practiced with the team was put in at right half.
Cluster had to buck against one of his countrymen, a turly 200 pound Irishman, but handled him in great shape and passed the ball accurately every time.
Clay Center gained the necessary five yards but once during the whole game.
O'Bar ion is a colored fellow but played a most skillful and gentlemanly game.
Two four horse traps elaborately decorated with the crimson and blue and loaded with enthusiastic Clay Center girls rooting for K. U. attended the game. Among the K. U. boys who were present at the game, this same crowd of girls are considered the most attractive lot of girls that they ever had the pleasure of meeting.
In the evening a reception was tendered the visiting football players by their Clay Center friends at the home of Mrs. P. M. Wickstrum This event was a most enjoyable one and until a very late hour the boys were entertained by Clay Center's fairest and best society. Music and recitations were suitably interspersed during the evening and punch was served continuously. Later more substantial refreshments were partaken of.
The decorations were simple, but very attractive, consisting of holly, mistletoe, roses, palms and ferns, and the whole house was lighted by electricity, which added greatly to the attractiveness of the decorations.
The invitations of which there were over a hundred issued,were rather unique, having on one side a picture of a football player wearing a K. K. sweater and on the other side the following:
You are invited to
Line up
At the residence of Mrs P.M.Wickstrum, Monday eve, December Twenty sixth, at 8 o'clock, to participate in the Scrimmage in the dining room later, in honor of the visiting football players. Our Group members
In its issue after the game the Clay Center Times says: "The Clay Center girls are not very loyal to the Clay Center boys when it comes to athletic sports and such things." This is a condition of affairs in which our boys rejoice for it is to their satisfaction that every time they have appeared in any of these "atletic contests" at Clay Center they have found themselves enthusiastically supported by Clay Center's best society and here wish to express their appreciation of the friendliness of the Clay Center girls.
The girl's frequent K. U. yells were very encouraging to our boys as they slipped and slid over the rough icy ground and greatly helped them in piling up the twenty-three points which they scored.
It is also encouraging that the best elements of Clay Center's society do not encourage the tactics of the class that at present controls athletics there.

John Temple Grave's Lecture.
John Temple Graves will be at the Methodist church, Monday evening, January 16. Every student in the University should hear this lecture on the "Reign of the Demagogue." President J. P. D. John, De Paun University says: "His lectures are expressions of marvelous eloquence and are brimful of fundamental truth. All young men should hear him." Robert Irving Fulton, Dean of Ohio Wesleyan School of Oratory: "I had rather have my students take him as a model than any orator I know." Tickets 50c, 35c, 25c and 15c at Basement Book Store, or Dick Bros, down town.
Students as well as others wanting coal, will find A. J. Griffin's the most convenient and best place to trade. His prices are the lowest, coal the best, and delivery is prompt and satisfactory.
ORATORICAL.
PREPARATIONS BEING MADE FOR THE LOCAL CONTEST.
The Date Has Been Fixed for the Local Contest and the Judges on Thought and Composition Selected.
The time is almost at hand when the chapel will ring with the voices of those who are preparing for the local oratorical contest.
The orations have been handed in to the judges, and January 27 has been set as the date for the local contest. All arrangements have been made, and the result promises to be the same exciting time as we had last year.
The men who will participate in the contest are working hard on their orations and have them nearly committed. Who ever wins, we may rest assured, that the University will have a strong representative, and one who will keep our laurels from the dust.
The judges on thought and composition are Thos. Doraw, A. W. Dana and F. D. Coburn, on delivery, Professor Dunlap, Professor Hodder and Mr. A. L. Cox.
The state contest will be held in Ottawa in February. Last year we won the contest and perhaps Ottawa claims the victory of this one, on the plea that it is home grounds, so as an encouragement to our orator, it is due that as many of the students as possible accompany him.

Geological Survey.
Professor Haworth has been making geological surveys in the state for several summers past. He now has three volumes of his work published. The first one treats of the stratigraphy of the caribouiferous of Kansas, also a preliminary report on the oil and gas in Kansas. Volume II contains the reports on the stratigraphy and general geology of western Kansas. The illustrations include thirteen figures in the text and forty-eight plates. The third is a special report on coal with fifty-four figures in the text and seventy plates. These plates were prepared by Frank Marcy and are of a high order. These volumes will be of great value to the state in developing its mineral resources. They have given a great fund of information to the public and of which it is at once taking advantage. Already the volumes have gained absolute reliance and are being much used by all interested in our mineral resources. Professor Haworth receives numbers of letters every day from different parts of the state, asking for information and advice. His work has received great commendation from geologists everywhere and they hall it as a most invaluable addition to geological literature. The professor is performing a great work and much credit is due him for his achievements, which are being attained by his great ability and patient, thorough work.
Arrangements have been made whereby there will be a game of basketball between a team representating the Kansas City Y. M. C. A. and the University. The game will be played at Kansas City the 20th of this month. The players representing the University will be selected during the coming week from among those now in the different class teams.

COLLEGE NOTES.
The Sophomores and Freshmen at the Agricultural College at Lansing, Mich. indulged in their annual scrap recently. It was one of the fiercest contests engaged in for years.

Frederick Stearnes, a Detroit millionaire, has presentek to the University of Michigan his unique collection of musical instruments; numbering nearly 1,000 pieces. Mr. Stearnes has been collecting for fifteen years and has spent upon his treasures something over $25,000. The present value of the collection for the University lies in the fact that it exhibits, with hardly a break, the evolution of three great types of instruments from prehistoric times down to the present. In this respect it can rival the most famous collections of this country and of Europe. The collection will be placed in a room fitted up for it in the museum building, a-d a complete catalogue, lavishly illustrated, prepared by Mr. Stearnes, will soon be published by the University.
Charges have come from Wisconsin claiming that Stagg of Chicago, had men on his team, who, though regularly enrolled received pay for playing football. Three left school immediately after the season closed. Stagg has ever been an ardent supporter of amateur athletics, and the students of Chicago are loath to place any credence in the charges.
A careful estimate made in 1897, at the close of the football season, returned 2,200 elevers playing the game in this country. In other words, there are between 25,000 and 30,000 players of the game in the United States—College Athlete.
