LAWRENCE, KANSAS, NOV 6, 1897
Prosperity doesn't appear to have struck Iowa yet.
They seem to have quite a frisky young football, cam up at Lincoln, too.
Up to the hour of going to press the Pharmies had committed no depredations today.
The boarding house egg is **not always**
what it is cracked up to be. No student
will deny that.
"There are other worlds to conquer," sighs Wiley Woodruff casting a Pennsylvania glance eastward.
We violate no confidence when we say that it is our honest and candid opinion that Dr. Wylie G. Woodruff is all right.
St. Marys has joined in the procession along with Midland, Haskell, Warrensburg, the Medics, Glasco and Iowa. Next!
Office-seeking is a killing process. Those fellows who are thinking of running for the football management next year should think twice. Beware the fate of Henry George.
To those who object to the space devoted by the WEEKLY to the chronicling of our football victories we commend patience. The football season will last only three weeks longer and then we will gladly devote more space to campus gossip and moral questions.
The splendid tribute paid Dr. Wylie Woodruff by Mr. George Innes is in every respect deserved. The victories of the football team are not the only result of the excellent coaching the men have received. Doctor Woodruff has impressed upon the team his own gentlemanly qualities and their play shows the effect of this. The game last Saturday was an exhibition of remarkably clean football.
The Daily Cardinal of the University of Wisconsin is an example of live college journalism. While Wisconsin's football team was winning the game from Minnesota at Minnesota, the editors of the Cardinal were on duty at Madison receiving cipher press despatches and preparing those for the compositors. Before the students at Minnesota had quite recovered from the decisive score the students at Madison were reading all about the victory in their college paper.
The M. S. U. Independent, contrary to the usual good sense of that publication, suggests a plan whereby the newspaper correspondents of the University of Missouri may be muzzled. We predict that the plan, even if practicable would not work to the advantage of the school. There are no public institutions of which the people are more jealous than their state universities. The suspicion spread abroad that facts were being concealed in regard to them or even that there was censorship of the press exercised would work untold evil. Only in the clear light of the public gaze, its every act scrutinized, can a university flourish. There is nothing more to be desired than a fearless freedom of the college press.
The Great Woman's Edition
Now for the women's office.
Next week the male portion of the WEEKLY staff will "lay off" and attend a few recitations. Next Saturday's paper will be gotten up by the girls of the University and to say that is to say that the paper will be a very warm proposition.
Now for the woman's edition.
For weeks the young ladies in charge have been working hard; harder than the boys of the WEEKLY force ever could or would work. Everybody knows that the Weekly is the best college journal in this part of the country and next week's paper will be the best ever printed anywhere.
The paper will be entirely the work of the girls. They will rustle all the ads, write all the editorsials and all the scoops, prepare all the copy and read all the proof, in short, prepare everything.
The paper will consist of eight pages, —twice the size of the WEEKLY. It will be bimiful of new and interesting features such as only a Kansas girl can get up. It will have its literary gems yet it will not be a magazine, but a very lively and thoroughly up-to-date newspaper.
The girls have several secrets which they will disclose in the special edition. They refuse to reveal until that time all of the features but enough is known of their plans so warrant the promise that the paper is going to be very much hot-siuff.
The special edition will contain a full account of the Nebraska game to be played on the day of its publication, which will be reported by a special correspondent.
The paper will be profusely illustrated and will be a model from an artistic standpoint. there are several artists on the staff of the Woman's Weekly.
The managers of the special edition have very generously offered to give all proceeds to the football fund of the Athletic association. Every professor, every student, every friend of the University should order an extra supply of papers. He will want to read them all and he will aid a worthy cause.

Cannot Prohibit Football by Law
Kansas City Star: The death of a student of the Georgia University from injuries receive on the gridiron has caused the introduction of a bill in the Legislature forbidding the game of foot ball in the state. If such a law can be enacted it will meet the usual fate of those statutes which seek to interfere with the rights and liberties of the people. It will not be enforced unless the young men of Georgia have much less pluck and spirit than those of Missouri and Kansas. Where one person is killed in the game of foot ball, a hundred are fatally injured by runaways and on steam cars, and yet no legislature—not even in Georgia—would be so stupid as to think of abolishing horses and railway trains. Foot ball is a good, wholesome American sport, and when its results in accidents and fatalities it is not the fault of the game, but of the players, who become too reckless, but who hold even this hazardous privilege a good deal more precious than the protection with which meddlesome law-makers would surround them.
Fine hundred and thirty-five dollars was the amount cleared for the athletic association from the Iowa game, more money than has ever before been realized from a like event. If the athletic association is cleared from debt this year, of which there is now little doubt, it will be duly large to the wise management of Ralph McKinnie.
A certain fraternity in the University possessed more love for style—and money—than loyalty to old K. U.
SHARPS AND FLATS.
Nevertheless they went to McCook field in state. They held their heads high in the air; they fingered lovingly the few coins that remained in their pockets.
This is a strange story.
They asked for reduced rates to the Iowa-Kansas game.
Here ends chapter one, and here begins chapter two.
An Iowa man was hurt. He belonged to a fraternity—the self same fraternity to which the heroes of this tale belonged.
Anger and naughty words followed.
They were refused.
It was necessary to take him off the grounds. No carriage could be procured. All were occupied save one, and that one was hired by our heroes.
Could it be taken?
"Well, can we take it?"
"Does he belong to our frat?"
"Yes."
Because one of the editors of the Woman's Edition laughingly referred to the "local dash," or a "jim dash" as the "jim-jam," a WEEKLY reporter thinking it too good a joke to keep, threatened to report it in the paper.
It did our hearts good to see Professor Dunlap and Professor Adams embrace each on the foot ball field, after the game was over and when they thought no one was looking.
Fraternal feeling, brotherly love, faith and fidelity—don't mention it.
"No."
A Parody.
And here ends this strange tale.
Here is one of the jingles that tickled the hearts of the men and maidens of K. U, last Saturday.
Come along and get you ready For to wear the red and blue
For there's goin' to be a game 'tween
Iowa and K. U. —
Where you alls know everybody and they all knows you.
Get a button of Sal Walker keep away the hoo-dool!
when you hear those roots yell so loud
All wave your colors, your red and blue
so proud—
And when the game is over, 'twill be sung by the crowd.
There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight.
There'll be girls for Captain Kennedy In this good old K. S. U. Who'll be loyal to their colors Of the Crimson and the Blue. There'll be girls for Mose and Foster Speak and Voigts and Poorman, too. Who adore the striped sweaters, footba
Who adore the striped sweaters, football shoes and nose guard too.
When you hear the captain's signal call Guards to the right—then Sal will snap the ball,
Then watch and see that Iowa man get a fall
The K. U. tackling means something after all.
Then hail to the our Coach
On him shall glory fall
He's a doctor and a scholar
And a judge of good football
So hurrah for the Woodruff
He's the man who knows it all
And he's made our sturdy Jay Hawkers
Form a rush line like a wall.
We make those their students can
heres to D. Woodruff we love you
best of all,
And you must be our coach forever
Or we'll have no coach at all
There's a hot time on McCook field today.
CHORUS.
When you hear those merry students call
Rock Chalk, in Howe, you know that
Rock Chalk Jay Hawk, I love you best of all.
And when you see K. U. boys down on the ball
Means a hot game on the old grid iron today.

On account of the Chancellor's reception, and its popularity among the students, the attendance of the Snow Literary was not as large as usual. The regular program was not carried out but instead, extemporaneous speaking, and business filled the time till 8 o'clock when the society adjourned to give those who wished, an opportunity to attend the reception.
A resolution was passed to challenge the Adelphic society for a debate; so in the future a debate may be expected between the two societies, which will cause great interest, and tend to stimulate that friendly rivalry, which is the surest fore runner of each society's advancement.
SNOW LITERARY.
The extemporaneous speaking proved an interesting and amusing variation from the regular programme, and the short time allowed each, gave many an opportunity to occupy the floor.
The programme prepared for next Friday night, will be beyond doubt the finest given. The literary part will exceed any previous one in variety and excellence of its numbers, while the debate, on account of the extra length of preparation will probably be better worked out, and present more points of general information, than any preceding one.
