THE COMING GAME.
GREAT INTEREST MANIFESTED IN THE CONTEST WITH THE TIGERS
Both Teams Will Be in Spindle Condi-
tion, and the Game at Kansas
City Will Doubtless Be a
Great Event.
The football season at Kansas University will close with the contest at Kansas City next Thursday. Supporters of the Kansas and Missouri teams are looking for ward to the game with a great deal of interest. The old rivalry between the two Universities makes this annual contest of especial importance. More glory is experienced in victory and more humiliation in defeat than in any other game of the season.
Both teams will be in splendid condition. The Tigers are spending the week at Fayett under the training of Coach Fultz, while Kansas has been just as diligent. The 'Varsity has had a series of hard practices this week with the scrubs and before the final game will probably play the Indians.
The prospects for the success of the Varsity are especially bright. Hamill, who it was feared would be unable to play, is rapidly recovering from his injuries and by [next Thursday] will be able to put up his characteristically brilliant game. Wilcox, too, has recovered from the injuries he received in the Nebraska game. Tipton has left school, but Blockberger, who is perhaps even a better player, is now at the training quarters.
Coach Woodruff was unfortunately quite seriously injured last week by falling over a chair in his office, and has scarcely able to be on McCook field. Captain Mosse has been taking charge of the team in Woodruff's absence.
A large delegation of students will accompany the team to Kansas City, and a rate will be made on all railroads for the event. An effort is being made to take the band, and all together, it will be a great day.
Senior lae Meeting.
The Seniors had a class meeting Thursday noon and decided on the style and quality of their caps and gowns. As a decided contrast to former classes the good will and unanimity in the meetings and projects of the class of 99 is very noticeable.
The committee on caps and gowns will take measurements some time next week and it is very much desired that each member hand in his order as soon as possible so that the large order may not be delayed longer than necessary. The committee hopes to have the gowns here shortly after Thanksgiving. The class also voted to the Senior classes of the other schools of the University to take part in publishing the Annual thus making it a University instead of a class affair.
Miss Case, the editress of the Annual, was given the power to appoint her associates.
School for Scandal.
The Masque has been working hard on the play for some time and Miss Brown's reputation in this line of work is so well established that it is an absolute guarantee that the play will be first class.
The costumes will be very elaborate and all who attend may expect a royal enter tainment.
This promises to be one of the best home talent plays given in Lawrence this year.
The Masque, under the direction of Georgia Brown, will present the "School for Scandal" at the Opera House December 2.
Tickets will be placed on sale at an early date and every effort will be made to make the entertainment a grand success.
J. S. Watson, in a scrimmage last Monday evening, dislocated his elbow. He was immediately taken to Dr. Woodruff's office, where his injury was attended to. The scrubs feel the loss of Watson. He has been playing half-back very credibly, and stands a good chance of making the 'Varsity next year.'
The proceeds are for the Pipe Organ benefit.
Hurt on the Foot-ball Field.
Wednesday afternoon at the recital at Music Hall the Concerto by Gieg for piano and violin rendered by Professors Prever and Farrell was pronounced by some to be the finest musical selection ever given in Lawrence. It certainly entranced all its hearers.
ECONOMIC SEMINARY
In the Economic Seminary, Nov. 14, Lizzie Goodnight and Stella Case reported on an article entitled "The Workers," and published in Scribner's. This article recites the results of an investigation into the social condition of the working people by a young man who endeavored to place himself exactly in their condition, leaving home without money and seeking for work. An interesting discussion on methods to be followed in such investigations and the value of the results obtained followed the report.
SNOW LITERARY.
R C. Russell was assigned a topic from the Economic studies, "Housing of the Working People in Yonkers," for report at the next seminary.
Mr. O Neill reported on the race war in North Carolina. It was reported that in Wilmington, where the negroes were in the majority, 78 per cent of the offices had been in the hands of the blacks, while the whites owned 97 per cent of the property and paid 98 per cent of the taxes. The matter was discussed in its bearings on a property qualification for the elective franchise.
The society then adjourned.
At North College on last Saturday evening, the Misses Wiedmann and Wilson of the Fine Arts school, played a very fine duet. The only regret of those present was that there were not more to hear and enjoy the music. Messrs. Robbins, Porter, Elliot and Livers then discussed the question "Resolved that strict adherence to a political party would be detrimental to the national welfare." A good deal of interest was taken by those present, in the general discussion.
After the debate Mr. Baumgartner conducted a "parliamentary drill." The leader made a few remarks explaining the plan and the work for the evening, and then present engaged in the real drill, using fictitious motions.

Pipe Organ Recitals.
The social committee of the Y. M. C. A. has published a little booklet containing twelve college songs pertaining to the Kansas University, which is to be used in the meetings. These songs have been gathered from former annals and other sources, and altogether make a very charming collection, which every student ought to have and know.
Call on J. A. Spaulding, opposite the Court House, for Staple and Fancy Groceriesat bottom prices.
The Pipe Organ Recitals given by Professor Fenny will begin again on Wednesday of next week. These recitals last year were very delightful entertainments. This year the recitals will be given every alternate Wednesday and will be ten in number. One dollar will be charged for the whole course. This is a benefit for the Pipe Organ fund.
There will be a joint reception to all the university students Thanksgiving evening at Prof. and Mrs. Bailey's, given by the members of the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. Associations. Every one is cordially invited to be present as an interesting program will be given. This, no doubt, will be a very pleasant diversion to the students who remain in Lawrence over the vacation.
The exhibition of living chess on Friday evening at Frazier Hall, was one of great interest to all present. Two games were played, limited to twenty minutes each by Mr. Leonard and Mr. Bayless. The first game was the celebrated one played in 1806 in Berlin, between Napoleon and the Morlem Automaton. This game was the last of three, in all of which Napoleon was beaten; at the conclusion of which Napoleon swept the pieces from the board, and crying, "j'Bagatelle," strode from the room. The costumes were prepared with great care, making a brilliant display. The Daughters of the King had two booths where coffee and sandwiches were served.
A SUCCESS.
THE FIRST EFFORT OF THE MASQUE
RECEIVES MUCH FAVOR-
ABLE COMMENT
A Small But Appreciative Audience Saw the Presentation of "Sunset" and "My Wife's Bonnet" Last Wednesday, Evening—Much Real Talent Displaced.
played.
The Dramatic Club of the University is what its name signifies. It is composed of students and professors of the University, and its object is the development of dramatic art in its members. The club has engaged the services of Miss Georgia H. Brown for its principal instruction. Besides this direct instruction, the club is receiving great benefit from the criticisms of Professors Vickery, Dunlap, Penny and others.
Wednesday night the club gave its first performance of the year in the two short one-act plays, "Sunset" and "My Wife's Bonnet." Although the club did not receive the support from the University and from the town people of Lawrence that the play deserved, when one takes into consideration the two strong attractions with which the club had to contest in the opera Monday night and the performance given by the Salisbury Orchestra last night it may be said that there was a fair sized audience, and judging by the many favorable comments heard since the play, it was an appreciative and well pleased audience. From the success of this play there can be no doubt that the "School for Scandal" to be rendered by the club soon, will receive much better support.
In the short comedy, 'Sunset,' by jerome K. Jerome, there is just the right admixture of true comedy and the serious to please, and its rendering was with a few slight criticisms simply superb; not to be laughed at even by professionals. It may be said that the interpretation placed upon the character Azariah Stodd was not the correct one, and as it was interpreted it was doubtless overdrawn, making the country lad seem at times to be too silly to permit a thought of his marriage with Lois Rivers, who was such a noble minded girl. Be that as it may, Mr. Baker showed much talent and deserves nothing but complimentary mention for the most of his work. With the slight exception mentioned the gentlemen all merit credit The ladies in the caste, Misses Whittman, Case and Douthart showed themselves to be artists. There is absolutely nothing about their work which can be criticised.
VOL. VII. No. 10.
In the second play, the farce "My Wife's Bonnet," by John Madison Morton, there was nothing but laughable situations from beginning to end, and these were painted in very glowing colors by all the actors. Every member of the caste deserves special mention.
About Some High Schools.
Prof. Olin spent last week among the high schools of the state, attending Atchison, Topeka, Wichita, Newton and Florence. He reports that all are doing thorough work of a high grade.
Attichion has a very small high school, numbering less than a hundred students. This is due to local causes, largely on account of the proximity of Midland College with its preparatory department.
Topeka has the largest and best equipped high school in the state. Prof. L. D. Whittimore, formerly of Washburn College, is the newly elected principal, and the staff of teachers contains five University graduates; Mrs. Mary Woodward Doran, '81; Miss Anne Murphy, '83; Mary Barklay, '94; Lillie Foreman, '95; Edith Davis, '96.
Wichita has prospered greatly in educational affairs for the past few years and now enrolls more than four hundred students in its High School. John M. Lee, '87, is teaching mathematics there.
Kansas University people do all the teaching in the Newton High School, D. R.Krehbiel A.B. (Harvard) who completed his Junior work in the University in 1892, Miss Nina Bowman, '93, and J. H. Felgar who was Soph more last year. Florence has a small High School, only thirty enrolled, and gives much hard work to its two teachers. Miss Alberta Cavin, '08, is a teacher in the school.
