The 'Varsity Defeated Warrensburg
Last Saturday in An
Easy Game.
For the fifth consecutive time this year we can truly say "we have met the enemy and they are curs." Warrensburg like all the others proved unable to withstand the onslaught of our giants, and yet it was a pretty game.
The game proved a boon to the Missouri Normal. They have been playing football under difficulties. Once a visiting team left the field on account of disagreements, and another time one of Warrensburg's men was slugged whereupon he obtained a club and returned the blow. And so the game broke up. Football was falling into disfavor, but when the Varsity went to Warrensburg 1,200 attested by their presence their willingness to give the Normal an opportunity to redeem itself, and the genuine football enthusiasm which now abounds in that city testifies to the satisfactory result.
The gridiron is just north of the Normal buildings upon the Normal grounds and is s surrounded by shade trees. The day was an ideal one.
It was such a game as the people of Warrensburg had never witnessed. The plays of the Varsity were so rapid that Warrensburg was hardly able to form the line. During the first half they seemed unable to offer any resistance whatever, but in the second they held us down to but one field goal against five touchdowns in the first half.
The most notable feature of the game was Moulton's work at half. It is the first time he has played that position in a game of any consequence this year. He made two touchdowns and a number of good runs.
Another feature was the splendid interference which the 'Varsity put up, and the absence of fumbling
At 2.45 Kansas University entered the field, where Warrensburg had preceded them, and in a few minutes the game was on.

Basket Ball.
From the outlook at present and from the interest taken by the members of the various classes, it is safe to predict that a basket ball league will be formed among the classes. The Seniors have taken the initiative step by electing Mr. Sutton manager and regular, practice has been going on for the past two weeks. The Juniors have elected Fred Liscum to look after their interests. The Freshmen have also elected a man for the position and the Sophomores have a meeting called for next Tuesday for that purpose. Everything now depends upon the amount of support that is given to these managers by their classmens. Prominent members of the faculty who are interested in the success of basketball in the University have expressed their desire to challenge and play the winning team of the inter-class series.
VOL. VII. NO.7.
In regard to the new method of spelling chemical terms, which has been critisied somewhat in other departments, but which has been adopted by the chemical section of the 'American Association for the advancement of science, Professor Bailey has a letter from Dr. Edward Hart, the editor of the Journal of the Ameri- can Chemical Society, in which he says: "I think the new spelling is gaining steadily, and for such a change, rapidly I think authors are disposed to use it as fast as their readers will allow. Among recent converts are the Boker & Adamson Co., manufacturing chemists, whose labels are printed all now after the new system. I think we shall undoubtedly win because we are right." The method referred to is that which proposes the spelling; sulfur, chlorid, lodid, oxid, etc.

THAT SAME QUESTION.
WE MUST ORGANIZE OUR ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION.
The Time Is Approaching When Some Definite Action Must Be Taken— Meeting of Delegates to Choose Judge.
It is not necessary for us to discuss the importance of an oratorical training while at college. Every sensible man admits the desirability of a faculty of ready expression of his thought and ideas.
With the excellent work now being done in the elocutionary department of the University, there is every reason to expect a greater interest in oratorical work than has been manifested heretofore by the student body. This condition of affairs has been the desire of every friend of the University and is indeed a welcome change from the usual lethargy.
The next State contest will doubtless be an exciting one, judging from the reports from the other colleges in the association. It will be held in Ottawa on the third Friday in February and Kansas University should send the winning orator. A meeting has been called at Ottawa for November $ _{14} $ for the purpose of selecting judges and accomplishing other preliminary work for that contest. Each association is entitled to one delegate. This delegate is supposed to go to that meeting fully instructed by his local association. In order that Kansas University may be properly represented the local association should hold a meeting at a very early date. A reorganization of the local body upon a broader basis would be a step in the right direction.
Last year the attendance at the local contest was a magnificent expression of public interest in such entertainments. The expenses of that contest were paid by the contestants themselves which was the direct result of looseness of organization of the local association. While it may be all right in some schools for the orators to pay people to go and hear them, yet with the standard of excellence of the work of Kansas university's orators last year it would behove the local association to raise the necessary funds for the contest. It is wise to make the admission free at all contests. The funds can be raised from a slight membership fee, providing the association is organized upon a broad enough basis to make every student in the University eligible to membership.
The Athletic association has a commendable organization and one that appeals to every patriotic student. It must be admitted that the Athletic association is not supported as it should be but we believe this is due not to a lack of patriotism and pride in our institution but to the fact that a great percentage of the student body is self-supporting and must of necessity be careful of expenditures. The Oratorical association will not require the amount of funds necessary to properly support the Athletic association and consequently the membership fee can be placed within the reach of every student.
Eliminate the college politics from the work of the association, make its organization bread enough to reach every student.
The constitution of the present organization can be strengthened in many places. The method of choosing contestants can be improved. Instead of selecting the best six orations in point of thought and composition, it would be wiser to select the contestants by a series of contests, allowing the winners to participate in the final contest for the selection of an orator to represent the University in the state contest Delivery is the prime requisite in the successful orator. This was proven at the last interstate contest. Our state representative ranked in thought and composition within a fraction of one per cent of winning first place, but his delivery lost for him and the state first honors. We know his oration was a magnificent effort in point of literary excellence, nor would I belittle this particular phase of oratorical work, yet it is to the man who can get hold of his audience and make them see as he sees, and feel as he feels, the victory belongs Not only would the best men be selected by this contest method but a greater interest and enthusiasm would be awakened by bringing a greater number of students in touch with the association.
every member work toward the one end of sending the very best representative to the state contest and we shall not be ashamed of the record of the University of Kansas. Let us have a meeting next week.
SNOW HALL NOTES.
A skull of one of the large fossil lizards collected last summer, is showing some things in its structure that are new to science.
Prof. E. Flaworth has recently had another large bookcase'built in his office, to accommodate volume III of the geological survey now in press.
Mr. J. W. Beede, assistant in paleontology, has just returned from Nebraska City, Neb., where he has been collecting fossils for the last week.
Mr. Syd Prence is now making the plates for the report upon fossil fishes, which will appear as a part of volume V, of the geological survey. The figures are far superior to any that have heretofore been made of these fishes.
There is a large amount of new apparatus in the embryology room.
The gymnasium and zoological laboratory have been oiled. This does away with the dust which has been very troublesome.
The Biological club had a very enthusiastic meeting last Tuesday afternoon. The time of holding the club has been changed to Tuesday at 4 o'clock and will be held in room 7.
It has been decided to have a series of papers in the club, giving the history of one of the sciences such as Botany, Entomology, etc. These papers will do doubt be very interesting and instructive.
Professor McClung is using modeling clay to demonstrate the divisions of the egg in embryology.
Professor Stevens lately received a letter from Mr. J. J. Gilbert of Plattsburg, Missourt. Mr. Gilbert has large classes and is doing will. He did graduate work here last year in paleontology.
Professor Dyche left Friday to take a short lecture tour in western Kansas. The Physical Culture people have threatened to put a piano in the gymnasium.
The Sigma Xi society will hold its next meeting in the Snow Hall lecture-room. The meeting will be public and all students are cordially invited. The program will consist of a discussion by a number of the faculty on the subject of the advancement of Science by American scientists. This meeting will be one of great importance and interest to all students, and especially so to those who are doing work in any of the sciences. It is for the purpose of setting forth a complete cosmos of what the American scientists have actually done in the advancement of science. The head of each department will take part in the discussion and it promises to be one of the most profitable and important scientific meetings of the year. It will be held on the evening of November 8, at 8 o'clock. The Biological club met Tuesday at its usual time, and Dr. Willston talked on the History of Anatomy.
Tne Zendas.
The Zenda dancing club has been organized by the young men of the young men of the University, and last night the inlay dance was given at Frazier hall. About thirty invitations were issued and that many couple were present. This club enjoys the distinction of being neither barb nor frat, and invitations are not issued with the "barb and fraat" dividing line.
It was a delightful evening, and the crowd was very congenial. These circumstances in addition to the other requisite of a good dancing party, good music, were conducive to the enjoyment in which all had a share.
The music of the evening was furnished by Mr. Curtis Osborne, piano, Mr. Buch, violin, and Mr. Bell, cornet. These three together form an orchestra which for dancing purposes is hard to excel.
The Zendas will continue to give parties regularly about once a month during the winter.
Have you a brother, sister or friend who will attend some private school this year? If so kindly mention the fact to V. D Craig, 1333 Kentucky, and that friend will be willing to give you a suitable reward.
