Students Play Good Bail. in Del. Valentin's Town.
The score is no criterion; the students, although lighter, were much faster and better trained than their opponents and clearly outplayed them. They suffered severely through the officials' who were local men and who by their prejudices and ignorance of the game made the students suffer heavily through penalizing and barring plays that were new to them. The grounds were in horrible shape, being covered with mud three or four inches thick and in many places by pools of water and slush. The teams lined up at 3 o'clock as follows:
Clay Center
Student15. Clay Center.
Trowbridge... Right End... Thereck
Yale... Right Tackle... Boner-Bloss
Horkman... Right Guard... Goudy
Kluster... Center... Morgan
Schrader... Left Guard... Powers
Wickstrum... Left Tackle... Latta
Charles... Left End... O'Barrian
Reynolds... Quarter Back... Davis
Kreamer... Right Half... Diller
Parrott... Left Half... Lewis
Silver... Full Back... Douglas
Clay Center wins the toss and takes the ball. K. U. has the north goal. Latta kicks off and Parrott returns five yards. Silver punts for thirty yards and the ball is in the center of the field. Daller gains two yards by hitting the line and Lewis advances another yard but loses fifteen on an end run. K. U's ball and Charles is put around right end for twenty-five yards. Clay Center is given fifteen yards on a foul tackle. Horkman, Schrader Kreamer, Parrott and Silver advance the ball by continued gains to the thirty yard line and Silver tries a field goal, but the ball passes below the bar. Latta kicks off from the twenty-five yard line and Kreamer returns fifteen. K. U. tries the "turtle back" play for ten yards but is penalized for fifteen yards and the play is barred. Repeated line bucking carries the ball to Clay Center's thirty yard line again and K. U. loses fifteen yards on a fumble at kicking a field goal.
FIRST HALF.
Time is called with the ball in Clay Center's territory. Score—K. U., 0; Clay Center, 0.
8ECOND HALF.
Schrader kicks off. Diller and Lewis try the ends for losses, and Douglas bucks the line for no gain. K. U's ball. The students work the cross tandem plays repeatedly and carry the ball to the twenty-five yard line. Charles skirts right end for a touch down. The play is not allowed for some reason or other, and Clay center takes a brace and gets the ball on downs. Diller and Lewis fell to gain and Douglas punts for twenty-five yards. K. U. now begins to play hard and fast. Kreamer hits the line for four yards; schrader for three, Horkman for three and Parrott for three; Charles goes around the end for ten yards and Silver gains three yards and repeats it. Schrader and Horkman hit the ends for a net gain of fifteen yards, and Silver, by a pretty play against left end, goes over for a touch down. Silver kicks an easy goal. K.U. 6, Clay Center 0.
Latta kicks off and added by splendid interference Kreamer returns the ball almost to the center of the field. K U. keeps up the pressure and advances the ball to the thirty yard line. Boner is hurt and Bloss takes his place. In the next play Douglas is knocked senseless and tries to get into a fight with Silver. The ball is advanced to the fifteen yard line when a fumble gives the ball to Clay Center. Douglas and Diller make slight gains by bucking the line and their two ends are called back for some trick play when time is called. Final score. K U. 6. Clay Center 0.
NOTES.
The K. U. half backs made their best gains when the other fellows had the ball almost invariably downing Diller and Lewis for losses.
Thedreck, Trowbridge, Goudy and Diller, all expect to attend the University and to try for the "Varsly" team next fall. Thedreck and Trowbridge are good men.
The students were much lighter but Clav Center made very few gains of any kind.

Trowbridge is a Clay Center boy but he played a good game with the students, making several good gains.

pieces are all enjoyable, and Mr. Hopkins played them well. He brings a great deal out of a composition, and his playing is always satisfactory.
Continued from page 1.
Mendelssohn's "If With All Your Hearts," is one of the most beautiful melodies ever written. It is taken from the English and its beauty consists of its simplicity as it needs no heavy or embellished accompaniment to make it impressive. Mr. Rodgers always interprets his selections with a great deal of feeling and he added much to the beautiful aria by his interpretation.
Mr. Marvin played an Idylle by Dudley Buck, a serenade by Widor and a march by Smart. His selections were well liked, although not as well known as they should be, and will gain interest by repetition. Mr. Marvin deserves much credit for his mastery rendition.
Mrs. Dunlap sang a well known sacred solo by Dudley Buck, "Fear not Ye Israel." She sang well and her number was well liked although it has often been heard before.
The last two numbers, by two of the greatest of organ composers, Guilmont and Rink, were played by Prof. Penny. It was a fitting close to the concert, that the organ was used in the congregational singing of "America." The program was long but no means tiresome, and every number was enjoyed. The Oratorio society will appear at the next concert in two Wagner choruses, which will be the only numbers lacking in this concert to make a complete and varied program. K U is to be congratulated on the number of good organists in her faculty, on the new organ and particularly on the possibility of future organ study in the Music school.

MORE COLLEGE SPIRIT
If the Fraternities Were All Wiped Out of Existence.
Professor Blackmar in his sociology class Friday took opportunity to give very clear expression to his opinion of the manner in which fraternities are managed in K. U.
"In the first place," he said, "the custom of rushing as practiced by the fraternities here is entirely unnatural. Instead of allowing the candidate for admission to select the fraternity which he wishes to join and then make application for admission, which of course the members of the fraternity are at liberty to refuse, the frats all join in a mad rush for 'materal' as soon as school opens each fall. People are taken in whom the members of the fraternity do not really want but whom they take to keep rival frats from getting. This has been done numberless times in the past by K, U. fraternities and in all probability will continue to be done in the future. It is this which has created inharmonious and clashing elements in every frat here. Largely on this account, too, fraternities here fail to carry out the true fraternal spirit and do not rise much higher than mere social clubs."
"In saying this, I do not wish to be understood to condemn fraternities in general. For I think they usually have an important place to fill in college society. It is a natural tendency for society to divide into various groups, each with its common bond of interest, and if there were no fraternities these cliques might be formed in a way that would be less beneficial, even than at present. But as fraternities are managed here I do not hesitate to say that there would be less snobbery, less injustice, and more true college spirit if they were all wiped out of existence!
"Another thing I would like to say," continued the professor, "is, that it was the best thing that ever happened for Kansas University when the 'Barb' or independent element, organized as they are at present for political and social purposes, and proved that after all, they held the ruling power in the University."
A 'Senior Play.
There was an enthusiastic meeting of the Senior class yesterday, the object being to discuss a senior play.
There were a number of speeches made, nearly all in favor of a play, and a motion for the president to appoint a committee of five to formulate plans for a play carried by a large vote. President McKinnie has not yet announced the committee.

A GOOD CONTEST.

There Are Six Contestants with Good Speeches for the Oratorical Contest on Next Friday Evening —Great Interest Shown.
There are ebbs and floods in the river of life which flows through a university just as sure as there are tides in the affairs of men. The testimony of life at K. U. this year is that we are in the flood. Our football team and glee club did signal work. Our new pipe organ is in keeping with an aesthetic and patriotic awakening. Unusual interest is manifested in literary societies and interstate debates. The coming oratorical contest promises to be one of the strongest in the history of the association.
The contest will take place on next Friday evening. There will be six contestants, the full number allowed by the constitution. The judges on thought and composition are Prof. Frank Nelson, Lindsburg; William A. White, Emporia, and Bailey Wagoner, Atchison. The following of Lawrence are judges on delivery. J. L. Brady, Superintendent J. E. Pears and Rev. McQuiston. The committee and creators are to be congratulated on their wise selection.
All the orators are known to be strong men and a very close contest is expected. The program for the evening will be interpersed with some select instrumental and vocal music. It has been customary to charge admission to the contest but this is a custom-breaking year and for the first time in the history of the Kansas University Oratorical association the contest will be free for all. The evening of January 21 is the time for every K. U. student to give outward signs of his loyalty. Wear the crimson and yell. Nothing can so inspire a contestant, nothing can so fill him with zeal as can a loyal, enthusiastic student body.
The successful orator at this preliminary contest will represent K. U. at the state contest which is to be held at Lawrence on February 22. Eight colleges will have representatives at Bowersock's Opera house that night. K. U. will be there. But her fate, whatever it is, will be sealed at that time. Now is the time to encourage our orator, now is the time to awaken interest in oratorical affairs and insure our success in February.
The orators are Geo. O. Foster, Geo.W. Stephenson, Franklin Baker, T.D. Smith, P. S. Elliot and Mr. Herndon.
THE SENIOR ANNUAL
Asked in Regard to the Senior Annual Miss Ethel Hickev Gave Out the Following Statement:
"In the first place, the Senior Annual is to be what its name implies—a Senior annual, and not a general treatise—or whatever you may wish to call it, such as the Quivira of '93—of the University.
"In the second place it will contain, besides the conventional matter which all the members of the class expect, a great deal of original material by different members of the class.
"One of the original features will be a great many full page pen and ink drawings illustrative of class incidents, Univerairy scenes, etc., many of which will be hits against popular University people.
"Robert Wilson Neal will have charge of the literary department."

A surgical operation, by which the entire stomach of a woman, aged 56, was removed successfully more than three months ago without any material injury to the health or activity of the patient is fully described in the Medical Record of New York.
LIVES WITHOUT A STOMACH.
German Woman Undergoes a Curious Operation Successfully.
The case is described by Dr. Carl Schlatter, of the University of Zurich, who performed the operation. Anna Landis, a silk weaver of Zurich, was compelled to go to the hospital last August, having a huge tumor in the stomach. The doctors concluded that the only hope of saving her life lay in removing the entire stomach. Accordingly the surgeon clipped off the osephagus close to where it entered the stomach, and then cut out the intestine two or three inches below the stomach. The walls of the stomach were also freed from such connections as existed with surrounding parts of the body, and then the entire organ was removed.
Having the stomach out of the way, it became necessary to unite the intestine with the end of the oesophagus. On attempting to unite the two ends it was found that they could with difficulty be made to touch. In fact the strain of bringing them to a juncture was so great that to unite them permanently was manifestly out of the question. In this predicament Surgeon Schlatter found that what he calls the knuckle of the intestine below the severed end could easily be brought to join the end of the oesophagus. Accordingly he closed up the end of the intestine absolutely, as one might close the end of a seared artery. Then he took the bend of the intestine in his hand, cut a slit in it that would just fit the severed end of the oesophagus, and sewed the end and slit together. This done there was then a direct channel from the patient's throat down through the intestines, while in place of a stomach was the end of the intestine—a length of about 15 inches that lay on one side. The entire operation required two and a half hours. The patient left the hospital October 11 with restored health and a good appetite.
