WHY NOT?
AN INTER-COLLEGIATE TRACK AND FIELD MEET PROPOSED.
Professors and Students Allike Are Interested-Financial Uncertainty Is the Only Draw Back.
"Why shouldn't there be an intercollegiate track and field meet between the colleges of the present football association?" mused Captain Mosse, as he stood in the hall examining the rules and records of the athletic association. At last he admitted that such was the case, when a WEEKLY reporter walked up and asked him if he was trying to figure how far he would have to put the shot at the next field meet to break the University record.
The slight interest in track events is one of the most lamentable features of the athletic situation here," went on Captain Mosse, "and the records are such as would disgrace a second rate "prep." school. Two things are necessary to remedy this condition; one is to create an incentive for work and training in this department of athletics by the establishment of an intercollegiate meet, the other the improvement of the field and the construction of a good track. If the first can be secured, the second will follow; and there seems to me to be no reason why such an association might not be found."
Prof. Clark came up as Mosse was talking and expressed his sympathy with the views expressed. 'I am glad to hear this talk of track athletes and hope something besides talk will follow. Of course, we labor under a disadvantage in regard to training facilities, but I think these can be partly remedied at slight expense. In the first place the cinder track at the field ought to be put in shape. I would then suggest that one of the sheds be fitted up as a dressing room. Then put some one in charge; let him be on the field every day at a certain time and put the boys through a course of training.'
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. Nebraska has already written to me to suggest a tennis tournament, and I am sure they would favor a track and field meet. Missouri is always ready and willing to meet us and a meet at Fairmount, or at the Country club at Kansas City, would, I am positive, draw a big crowd. Nothing of the kind has ever been held there. We might hold a sort of a general athletic carnival on the order of the Athenian games."
Asked as to what he thought of the possibility of forming the league proposed by Captain Moss, the professor said:
"What do you think of the possibility of a good team?" If the boys will get out and work we ought to have a good team. We certainly have the material."
"How would it do to have a team from each class and give a cup to the winners?" "First rate, first rate, that would interest the classes and bring out the best material." "That suggestion of a cup reminds me of anything said," Mousse. "Prizes in the shape of medals ought to be awarded for the breaking of a record, instead of getting gigas and gymnasium shoes from the merchants. Such prizes would be of a lasting character and would prove an incentive to do good work most."
Prof. Adams, when seen by a reporter and told of the agitation for a meet at Kansas City, said: "I frankly confess that I think the project too ambitious. I believe the way to develop athletics here is first by competition with neighboring colleges and then by a meet with Missouri. We must not try to do too much at first. The financial success of the more ambitious scheme is at this stage very doubtful." Upon Prof. Adam's suggestion that the financial end of the plan might be too heavy to carry, the business office was next invaded and Mr. Moody seen.
"I am confident," said Mr. Moody, "that arrangements could be made at Kansas City whereby expenses might be guaranteed. In '94 the management of Fairmount Park offered to pay all the expenses of the teams from Missouri, Nebraska, and Kansas at a field meet to be held at the Park and to give a trophy. Nebraska'was unable to send a team, and a ball game between Missouri and
Kansas was arranged on the same basis. Such an association ought to be formed and will ultimately. The main thing to do is to organize. If we can get expenses for the first year guaranteed, that is all we should ask. When the association is once well established, it will, undoubtedly take care of itself, but let us at least organize now, even if we get nothing but expense. I hope the matter will be pushed."
Mr. Moody's long experience as treasurer of the Athletic association puts him in a position to speak authoritatively as to the financial possibilities of the plan. It was largely due to his efforts that the present foot-ball association was formed, and Mr. Moody, who seems to be thoroughly interested, has offered to assist in every way the formation of the proposed league.
The WEEKLY also took advantage of Dr. Woodruff's presence in the city to get his views on the matter. The doctor seemed heartily in favor of the proposed league, though he expressed some doubts as to its financial success. "I would at least suggest an inter-collegiate and interacademic relay roll at our meet here. Let neighboring colleges, academies and high schools send relay teams to compete for a banner to be given to the winner. Put four teams in each division, and give a cup to the winner of each division. Let the winners of each division then run in the final. I know of no sport outside of football so exciting to watch as a relay race. The possibilities of a track team here ought to be good. The boys must work thought; and indeed, that is the secret of success in every branch of athletics, good faithful work."
Altogether there is an encouraging revival of interest in track athletics. The members of the football team especially seem anxious to show the public that theirs is not a one-sided physical development. Captain Speak and Manager McKay are both working hard and both favor the proposed league if expenses can be guaranteed. The prevailing sentiment among those interested seems to be that the association ought to be formed. When once organized there is no reason why world's records might not be broken at the annual meet in Kansas City and by Kansas University men.

Thompson Law Prize
Prof. Brownell called the attention of the Junior Laws to the Thompson prize contest on Tuesday morning. The Edward Thompson Publishing Co., has offered a set of its valuable encyclopedic compilations of law to the student in the Law school, who will submit the best thesis on the subject. "Do combinations between laborers, mechanics, and other workmen to control the price of their labor stand upon the same legal footing as combinations between dealers?" The thesis must be not less than three thousand, nor more than four thousand words. It is to be submitted to a committee of the alumni of the Law school, to be selected by the faculty of the department.
The winner may have his pick of three sets of books; the old or the new American Encyclopedia of Law in thirty-one volumes, or the American Encyclopedia of Pleadings and Practice, nine volumes of which have now been published. Any of the above works are worth something over $200 and this prize is the most valuable one given in any department of the University.
Secretary Cheadle of the joint commit.ee has received a letter from Missouri University in which it is stated that Nebraska has consented to the management proposed by Missouri that the home management pay the expenses of the visiting team in the inter-collegiate debates between Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas.This removes the last hitch in the debate arrangements.

Who? Where? What?
Twas Sunday night; twas after church;
twas likewise cold. Twas Kentucky street;
twas at the door; Twas a sweet goodnight.
There was a thrilling joy; there was a sudden cessation; there were others. Two had zitted; three had seen. Two gasped with surprise; three burst into laughter.
The air one entered the house; the one not so far hurried quickly along the street.
The three watched the one; the one watched the three. The one sought the side of a tree not lighted by the moon; the three chased him from his hiding place, and in spite of his rapid flight, made certain who he was. Who was the fair one? Who was the other? Ask the three.

The Senior Law Class Have an Exciting Time
The Senior Law class met last Monday to consider the proposition made to it by the Senior Art class to unite in the Senior Annual. After a stormy discussion a motion to accept was carried. On Tuesday at another meeting of the class a motion to reconsider the action of the day before was made and seconded. Then followed the greatest parliamentary w rangle and victory of the year. The opponents to the measure led by Mr. Allen and Mr. Jackson were on this day in the majority by fourteene votes, but the minority lead by Mr. Kretsinger and Mr. Games by well laid schemes prevented the motion to reconsider from coming to a vote, and defeated every step taken by the majority, thus leaving the proposition accepted as it was the day before when the friends of it were in the majority. $ ^{*} $

Anyone desiring to obtain text books on electricity, will get them as cheaply from him as by ordering them at the bookstore. He is also agent for the Electrical World the best electrical paper in the county.
The most exciting and interesting feature of the discussion on Tuesday was the sarcastic cross firing between Kretsinger, Jackson and Games. Mr. Jackson said that "if the friends of the proposition would find their minds more and their stomachs less they would be more able to talk on the subjects." Kretsinger replied that if he, Mr. Jackson, would put his friend in a pea nut shell, there would be more room left than if he were to throw a bean into the Atlantic ocean." At this remark Mr. Jackson and his friend hissed, when quick as a flash Mr. Kretsinger said, "In Divine economy, it has been decreed that all living things, only two should be endowed with the ability to hiss, the snake and the goose, the former because of its venom, and the latter because it is a fool. Now, Mr. Jackson, to which class you belong." While Mr. Games was talking, Mr. Jackson said that it was against public policy for a man to talk so long and say nothing.
Filibustering continued until noon, when the house was forced to adjourn.
