LAWRENCE, KAN., OCT. 15 1898
The Haskell Indians will make a trip east in the near future. On their way they will play Tarkio and a number of minor college teams. They will go as far east as Perdure university. Owing to the efficient training of "Sai" Walker, it may be assumed that they will play good games at every place.
The Chancellor received an anonymous letter this week severely criticizing him for the examination questions he offered at the recent state examination. The letter was printed, the address on the envelop stenciled and postmarked Iowa. The chancellor's fairness is unquestioned by those who know him, and the letter is considered as a medium of revenge which some person who was unable to pass the examination employed.
Never has there been such practice games on McCook field, as those which football enthusiasts have been witnessing every afternoon this week. And it is all a result of the announcement that a second eleven will be chosen to play the high school elevenths of Kansas City, Topoka, and Leavenworth, respectively. This week the usual number of "scrubs" has been doubled and it is only with great effort that the 'Varsity scores against them.
The lecture course this year will be perhaps the best course that has ever been offered to the students and citizens of Lawrence. Instead of the usual' six numbers there will be eight and they will be the best attractions that can be secured. Arrangements have been made with Miss Georgia Brown whereby her "School for Scandal" will be made one of the features of the course. Miss Brown's ability is well known to Lawrence people and her play will doubtless prove a success. Two of the numbers of the course will be given at the Bowersock opera house and the advantage of location will doubtless be appreciated by Lawrence people. It is hoped that some year in the near future all the concerts and impersonations may be given at the opera house.
There is a committee on the athletic board which for several years past has been a committee in name only. Nothing has been done to necessitate that committee being retained on the athletic board. We refer to the committee on boating. We have such a committee on the athletic board, but why have it if no result follows? Here at Lawrence we have the advantages of a good course for boating. Why not develop this branch of athletics? There is no doubt that interest in boating could be made as great as that in baseball in the spring if the committee whose duty it is to give a foundation for such interest would only start the ball rolling or the boat rowing. The committee on boating this year is J. H. Kane and F. C. Beck. If all those who are interested in seeing the boating feature of athletics developed will assist the committee, and give it assurance that their efforts will not be in vain, there is no reason why boating crews cannot be organized next spring.

The present indications are that Kansas will have the champion team in the western association again this year. In six years Kansas has won the pennant four
SOCIETY.
It is not many years since the term University society was synonymous with fraternity society. To be out of a fraternity was to be out of society. The non-fraternity element might dominate in politics or athletics, but in society the fraternities held undisputed sway; the barb was not even considered. This state of affairs is far from being true now, however, for the barbs are even more active socially than the fraternities. It is even said that a popular barb girl has opportunities for going to more parties in a season than the equally popular frat girl. However true this may be it is certain that the series of hops given every season without the aid of fraternity people is one of the most delightful features of the winter, while the larger "Annuals" are in every particular second to no parties given during the year.
On last Saturday night the juniors gave the first class party of the season. The entertainment was to have been in the form of a picnic, but owing to the weather it was changed to a spread which combined all the pleasant features of a picnic and party. The principal amusements of the evening were the old fashioned games and country dances of Old Dan Tucker, Skip-to-my-Lou, and the Virginia Reel. Every one entered into the spirit of the thing and any stiffness or formality was soon done away with.
Not the least important feature of the evening was the spread itself. This was very informal and was followed by a short program of toasts Frank Post acting as toastmaster. Those who responded were Messrs Klise, McFarland and Hood, and Miss Goodnight. The whole affair was very enjoyable and the Juniors have proven themselves so capable of entertaining that the Seniors may expect a very successful Prom.

It is the prevailing idea that proceeds of the lecture course this year will be used to defray the expenses of rebuilding the pipe organ in the chapel. This view is erroneous. The Chancellor has arranged to have the organ rebuilt at state expense, so that the funds derived from the course will be used to lessen the original debt upon the organ.

Mass Meeting.
Searcely fifty students responded to the call for a mass meeting in chapel Friday noon. The object of the meeting was to stir up enthusiasm among the students for the coming football games, and to arrange a systematic method of cheering. However, with such a small attendance, the matter had to be dropped. It is very seldom that these meetings attain their end, while in other colleges similar meetings have a large attendance and those present always leave highly enthusiastic.
These meetings when successful, make the student feel his duty toward enterprises of the school, and he fulills them. At Kansas University there is never a unity of interest. Students seem to forget how they might aid those who represent the school in athletics and debate by their presence and by encouragement from the side lines or audience. In the coming football games the 'Varsity team will always endeavor to keep the crimson and the blue unsuilled, but if such misfortune as defeat should occur, the team must not be censured until the student body has done its duty.

K. U. 12. Haskell 5.
Haskell seemed to have improved wonderfully since Saturday. They backed the line for good gains, and ran the ends successfully. On interference they were very strong.
Last Wednesday evening on McCook field, the 'Varsity and Haskell team played a very pretty game.
In the first several minutes of play, Haskell scored a touchdown but owing to the wind, was unable to kick a goal. They got the ball on a fumble and tucker was unable to break the interference. Buzzi threw the man but it was after he had passed the line.
The Indians had the ball in Kansas' territory nearly all of the time, and seemed in a fair way to make a second touchdown, when time was called.
For the 'Varsity, Tucker was the best ground gainer. The 'Varsity did not play in as good form as usual, perhaps because of the hard practice they have had for the two previous evenings.
Tom Smith played tackle Tuesday evening for the first time, and in the game, he did good work for the 'Varsity. He is a strong player, and his work is especially good when it is considered that he has just returned from the army and has not played at all since the beginning of last season. Several times he broke through the Indian line and prevented Haskell from making a gain.
Tucker made both touchdowns for the 'Varsity. Once he bucked the line for a touchdown and the second time got the ball on a mistake of signal and made a run of forty yards, for a touchdown.
Dancing as taught by the best teachers has for its object gracefulness of motion, ease of manner and politeness. These principals will be strictly respected in Miss Brown's school.
