MISSOURI-
KANSAS DEBATE.
COMMITTEE OF THE TWO UNIVERSITIES MELTs IN KANSAS CITY NOV.25.
Rules Are Adopted and Arrangements Completed—Kansas Submits Questions to Missouri—Context to Be Held Here.
Football will not be the only factor here after in deciding annual supremacy between Missouri and Kansas. The debate is now assured.
After the contest on the gridiron representatives of the rival universities met at the Midland hotel to make final arrangements for the Missouri-Kansas debate. The Missouri delegates were L. E. Durm, W. C. Hock, C. L. Watson and Isador Leob. Those representing Kansas were J. B. Cheadle, F. L. Jewett, A. M. French and E. K. Elise. The joint committee organized by electing Mr. Durm president and Mr. Cheadle secretary of the Missouri-Kansas association for debate.
Rules and regulations were then adopted which will probably be retained as the constitution of the association. The contest was given to Kansas this year and will be held in Fraser hall on the evening of the third Friday in March,1898. Missouri will work hard to win and so efface the memory of Kansas' victory in football.

The High school football team of Ft. Scott defeated the Warrensburg Normal by a score of 18 to 0. Kansas University made the score only five points better in our Warrensburg game, and in consequence Ft. Scott and especially the newspapers are feeling pretty good and are talking some.
A. O. Garrett is manager of the team, and the Daily Citizen has this to say of his work:
"Prof. A. O Garrett is to be commended for the excellent way in which he has managed the games." Under his management Fort Scott has been enabled to see a good clean article of football, devoid of any rowdyism or foul playing. He is well likled by all the players and he has been untiring in his efforts to secure good games for Fort Scott."
"Fort Scott has a great football team. They have been getting better each game. They have grown up to their opposition and move and play faster football than any team in Kansas, with the exception of the Kansas university, and weight alone is what gives even that team an advantage over ours. Our team is beyond question well trained each man playing his position with skill and ginger. If they had the weight it would be a pleasure to see them meet any football team in the world in the Fort Scott fair grounds. They are of the disposition to say 'all teams look alike to us,' and would play Yale or Pennsylvania any time.
The Citizen speaks of the team in this modest tone:
They are fearless aggressive players, who have trained faithfully and deserve the honor they have won of being called the best football team in Kansas outside of the University—they'll have to show us."
NOTES FROM THE ENGINEERS.
The Senior engineers are winding and setting up a small two-phase alternator designed for experimental purposes. It is of the revolving field pattern and known as a sine inductor.
At the Electrical seminary Friday Asa L. Canavan read a paper on "Edison's Nogetic Ore Extractor," and Mr. read a biographical sketch of Lord Kelvin.

The Physics building has been so cold for the last week or two that it has been unsafe to hold any classes although on some days when the thermometer was not lower than sixty degrees classes have been held. The heating system used is the building is certainly very inadequate or else is badly managed.]
The outside wing for the new pipe organ is finished at a cost of $150. The manufacturers sent us word that no space had been reserved for the motor Prof. Blake says he will have to place it on the stool at Prof. Penny's side. It will have to be a powerful organ to drown out the noise made by the motor. The last report from the manufacturers is that the organ is on the way. We may now expect, with a fair amount of consistency, that it will be here by commencement day next spring.
The local Alumni League of the University which includes graduates of all the schools of the University and their wives, the members of the faculty and their wives, will give a reception and banquet at Music Hall Friday evening, Dec. 10. A committee of five has the affair in charge. Prof. Templin is chairman of the committee ably assisted by Professors Williston and Hunter and Mesdames Perkins and Johnson. All alumni are cordially invited to attend.
Alumni Banquet.
At Prof. Franklin's class, Friday morning, a noise was heard outside which puzzled the members of the class till some one went to see what was the matter. It was explained when he found a man carrying a half gallon of something, who had been knocking for about 15 minutes on the outside door of the Chemistry Building shivering with cold. He wanted to see Prof. Bailey.
We have just received a shipment of four ply linen collars in all the late shape and are putting them on sale at 10c.

ATHLETIC RULES WILL BE ADOPTED.
KANSAS WILL AGREE TO THE REPORT OF THE MADISON CONFERENCE.
This Time Without Exception or Conditions—The Rules Are Just and Will Do Much to Puri- fv Athletics:
"The Council will probably adopt without exception or condition rules on athletics, substantially the same as those reported at the Madison conference of college presidents," said Chancellor Snow to a WEEKLY reporter.
These are the rules reported by the conference committee on Athletics of which the Chancellor was a member, and subsequently adopted by the Council of the University of Kansas conditionally upon their adoption by the other members of the league, Missouri, Iowa, and Nebraska. The opinion seems quite prevalent that the condition should now be removed. Whether Missouri or Nebraska or Iowa adopt the rules or not, they are in the true spirit of amateur sportsmanship and their adoption would do much to raise the standard in athletics among the universities of the west. Kansas should, as usual, take the lead.
THE RULES.
1. No one shall participate in any inter-collegiate game or athletic sport unless he be a bona fide student doing full work in a regular or special course, as defined in the curriculum of his college, and no person who has participated in any intercollegiate game as a member of any college team shall be permitted to participate in any game as a member of another college team until he has been a matriculant in such college under the above conditions for a period of one year or has obtained a college or academic degree.
2. No person shall be admitted to any intercollegiate contest who receives any gift, remuneration, or pay for his services on the college team.
3. No student shall play upon the teams of any college or colleges for more than four years in the aggregate unless he shall have secured a degree, in which he may play two additional years, provided he be a candidate for a second degree.
4. No student shall participate in any intercollegiate contest who has ever used or is using his knowledge of athletics or his athletic skill for gain. This rule shall be operative after October 1, 1896. No person who receives any compensation from the University for services rendered by the way of regular instruction shall be allowed to play on any team. This rule shall take effect December rst, 1896.
5. No student shall play in any game under an assumed name.
6. No student shall be permitted to participate in any intercollegiate contest who is found by the faculty to be delinquent.
7. All intercollegiate games shall be played on grounds either owned or under the immediate control of one or both of the colleges participating in the contest, and all intercollegiate games shall be played under college management, and not under the control of any corporation or association or private individual.
8. The election of managers and captain of teams in each college shall be subject to the approval of its committee on athletics.
9. College football teams shall play only with teams representing educational institutions.
10. Before every intercollegiate contest the respective chairman of the athletic committees of the institutions concerned shall submit to each other a certified list of players, eligible under the rules adopted, to participate in said contest. It shall be the duty of the captains of the respective teams to exclude all players from the contests save those so certified.
11. Athletic committees shall require each candidate for a team to represent the University in intercollegiate contests to subscribe to a statement that he is eligible under the letter and spirit of the rules adopted.
12. No person having been a member of any college athletic team during any year, and having been in attendance less than one college half-year, shall be permitted to play in an intercollegiate contest thereafter until he shall have been in attendance six consecutive calendar months.

SOCIETY OR CIVIL ENGINEERING.
An Interesting Report Made on the Santa Fe Railroad.
At the Civil Engineer's society this week Mr. Clark gave a very brief history of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad.
Its history began in the early part of the eighteenth century. At this early date, the Indians and the people of the Montezumas had established the route which afterwards became known as the Santa Fe trail. In the early settlement of these wild and woolly prairies, shrewd business men saw clearly that these vast prairies would, at some time in the near future be a source of great wealth. Acting upon this keen insight into the future, a corporation was organized which began to build a railway which followed the old Santa Fe trail. This trail was followed because it was very level, thus reducing the first cost of building to a minimum.
This railway system was very profitable until the railways began coming into its territory. To meet such competition the Santa Fe company had to build a great many miles of feeders in order to keep its trade. Then, in order to deliver its traffic to centers of trade, it built a through line to Chicago. This meant a great outlay of money, all of which was borrowed. But other roads came into its territory and with them came the keenest of competition. Then to top the climax, or rather the anti-climax from the standpoint of the railroad, came the hard times and the bursting of the great boom in the west. The result was that the road went into the hands of a receiver, but such a condition did not last long.
The company got on its feet again financially and has now one of the greatest railway systems of the world. It comprises at present more miles of railway than that of all England, and more than one-sixth of that of the United States.
Mr. Sanderson discussed the form of fracture of cast iron when broken transversely. Experiments seem to show that the form of the fracture follows a certain law, and it depends upon the position of the fracture.
The society was also slightly favored with a brief description of the duties of a clerk of a division engineer, which was given by a former member of the society -Mr. J. L. Lahmer, class of 95.
SNOW HALL
Some remains which seem to be those of a fossil from the Nebraska cretarians have been recently discovered by Mr. Stewart of the paleontological department. If these remains prove to be what they are supposed, it will place the catfish much farther back in geological history than bereotefo known.
Messrs McClung and Marcy are building two aquariums for the museum. When these are completed the larger one will be placed on the first floor of Snow hall and will contain fish, frogs and turtles, in fact most any old thing that may turn up and that can live in water.
Prof. Dyche left this afternoon for Plattsburg, Mo., where he is to deliver a lectre today.
Mr. Beeck has just discovered a new crinoid from the carbonic of Kansas.
The gentle music of the punching bag has not been heard in the gymnasium this week. It is a good thing that this has been stopped, as the vibrations caused by this bag hitting against the ceiling of the basement, have been injuring the fossils in the museum.
Prof. Popenoe, late head of the entomological department of the state agricultrale college, is still pursuing his course in systematic entomology and is kept busy these days in solving the intricacies of the Coleoptera.
TO TOUR THE WEST.
Pennsylvania and Garlie to Visit the Const.
In all probability the football teams of the University of Pennsylvania and Carlisle Indian school will make a tour of the western states during the holidays and play games with the University of California and Leland Stanford. Then they expect to tour through Mexico and Texas and play a series of games with each other. The trip as it is now planned can be made in three weeks and has received the hearty approval of the Pennsylvania faculty.
Students desiring to enter my Virgi class will meet in Latin room Monday, December 6, at 4 o'clock.
