LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCT. 9. 1897
Elect the Debaters.
Now that the debate between Missouri and Kansas for the evening of Thanksgiving day is practically assured, it becomes the question to be considered, how shall the men be chosen to represent Kansas and to represent her properly? The time is short. There is barely seven weeks until the contest night. The selection must be made quickly as well as judiciously in order that our men may have the question to be debated well in hand. Obviously the Kansas representatives cannot be chosen, as is the is with the Nebraska debate, by a long series of contests. In this crowded season of the year, this system would deprive us of our best material. The meagre time for preparation should all be expended upon the final contest, not divided by preliminary skirmishing. An election by a mass meeting of students would be an expedited method of settling the matter. We all wish to defeat Missouri. After deliberate discussion the strongest material would undoubtedly be chosen. And the choice would be speedy.
Tiger, Tiger M. S. U.
We are with you, Missouri. You are contending today on the gridiron with the Kansas City Medics. You are playing against odds. An aggregation of bruisers is before you; bragging and blowing as they score; puffing and bluffing and cursing and roaring against every yard you gain. They are professional in every sense of the word. They are a gang of sluggers without scrupe or conscience. They don't know the rules, they don't know the game; playing without thought of honor or mercy, they will try to disable your team. They have no sporting instinct. They hate every team they play against. They respect nothing but their unsavory reputations. They are a disgrace to Kansas City and to the school they represent.
But play in good heart, Missouri.
Play for the reputation of your state.
Kansas is with you. Cheers if you win,
sears if you lose.
In these piping times of peace there are people who object to the noise and danger attendant upon the celebration of the Fourth of July; and there are plenty of people who complain of the abstraction from study and the dangers to life and limb due to the presence of football in the universities. In both cases the civil is individual and limited while the good is genetal and far reaching. As the observance of the nation's birthday, though often disastrous to the small boy, has a powerful influence on the patriotism of the country at large, so the game of football, though often costing the player too much, is of great value in keeping up a loyal university spirit. In neither case is the remedy prohibition. Give the small boy plenty of powder and a few imperative "don'ts;" and to the member of the eleven, hearty support and closer supervision.
Captain Kennedy, "Our Bert," played the game of his life last Saturday. It was inspiration to watch him. He was in every play to encourage, to coach and to command. He has the true football spirit, and his men rely upon him. $ \mathrm{H}_{6} $
is the best field captain we have ever had. There is nothing too good for Bert Kennedy. ___
The debt is paid. We have played on last game with the Medica. Goodbye, Heller and Pendleton, you're growing old in the service. Let's meet as little as we can.
SHARPS AND FLATS.
A slender, blond young man with an air of dignity, sauntered into the registrar's office one day the first week of school. The registrar thought he saw an innocent victim in the form of a freshman with two or three terms' back work. He demanded sternly, "What has been your preparation for entering the University?"
Then the new Latin professor looked surprised and silently left the room.
Professor Duntap's good advice to writers of themes and freesias: "Don't worry about being unnable to get enough ideas for a two thousand word theme, but strive instead, to get two thousand appropriate words with which to express the few ideas you have upon your subject."
"What are you drawing up there in the studio?" asked a former law student of a Fine Arts girl.
"Venus." she replied
"Well, you certainly look in a mirror then"; and the fun of it is that the girl doesn't know whether to accept his statement as a compliment or not.
Two University society girls were overheard talking about fraternity matters, the other morning.
"One of the boys asked me yesterday why you didn't help them rush their new men," said the first.
"I wouldn't do it," said the second, "because if I rushed for them, and they didn't get their man. I wouldn't have a stand-in with any of the frats," and she shook her little head in a very knowing way.
The men and girls too who have been assiduously but ineffectually "rushing the frats" ever since school opened, are now giving up the struggle and expressing their opinion that "the best class of students are not found in fraternities anyway."
A Barb and a — well for brevity's sake, let us say a Pi Beta Theta were walking down the hill together. They passed a sweet and stylish looking Freshman. The P.B. T. tossed up her head with a contemptuous sniff and said never a word.
"Why," said the Barb in surprise, "wasn't that Miss Blank, the girl your fraternity has been rushing so hard?"
"Yes," answered the P. B. T. coldly, "but she has dropped us and joined the T. P. K.'s."
The barb just wondered why, if the girl was so nice before, why she wasn't just as nice now, but it was quite an honor to be walking with a P. B. T. anyhow so she didn't say anything.
The sociology professor was talking about Indian education, "Yes," he said meditatively, "I consider that this young Indian has taken a great step downward in his life work. He had a good medical education and planned to go back to his tribe and serve them as a physician, but he has given that up now and is managing a Y.M.C.A. in Minneapolis."
Then some of the more degenerate is the class laughed, but the professor couldn't see the joke.
"Well, professor," said the young man with the striped necktie and the white duck trousers when he was called upon to recite, "it's queer, but I had just read to that very line and no farther in my translation."
The professor smiled wearily and looked out of the window as he thought, "The same yesterday, today and forever."
"Say!" said the girl who knew what she was about, as she rushed into one of the seminary rooms, "I want to see the librarian might quick, and so I'm going to talk out loud. That'll bring her," and quite contrary to the rule of the universal perversity of things in general, it did.
For the benefit of those who attend the public receptions given to the new students we would give a word of advice: Do not fail to ask everyone you are introduced to if this is his first year at the university, where his home is, what studies he takes, and how he likes his work. He has answered these questions on an average of sixteen times a day ever since he has been in town and he expects them. He has grown accustomed to them and would probably grow homesick and long for his native hills if he did not hear them
This is the season of the year when the Freshman are enquiring. "What is a quiz book, anyway?"
This story happened in the good old days that Jimmy and Nate like to talk about so well.
The Goddess of Silence presided in the library then, just as she does now, only
Well, well- at any rate, a big, 200-pound fellow, who was always creating a disturbance in the reading room, but who possessed the happy faculty of never being found out, was at last caught in the act.
that then her reign was not so peaceful as it is now, for many, many jolly, good follows attended K. U. in "them good ole glays, sah."
With a grim smile of righteous indignation the goddess marched boldly forward and seized the offender by the ear.
University life at the present is not what it used to be or at least we think so with many sighs of regret.
"Leggo, said the yellow.
"Won't, said the goddess.
"Don't care," said the goddess.
"Wats the matter wid yie, anyhow?"
said the fellow.
"Ouch! You hurt," said the fellow
"Come with me," said the goddess.
Then with a slow and measured tread the goddess led the big fellow out by the ear and bade him God speed.
KANSAS REDEEMS HERSELE
"Ah—hew wuz mighty fine ole times we had then, sah."
the ball and carries it around the left end for thirty-five yards tackled big Waskey. Speak made good gains on ta-dem rushes and Mosee was pushed over for a touchdown. Kennedy punted out to Mosee who kicked an easy goal. Score K U 16. Medies 8.

NOTES.
Voigts played a brilliant game at end.
Little Bert Kennedy tackled Heller, who calls himself the greatest half in the west, and dragged him back for a loss of fifteen yards.
"Doe" Jackson says he never saw a game like that before.
When Speak got to the Coates House after the game, he found that in the excitement of victory he had forgotten to change his football trousers, and had left a good pair at the grounds. Dr. Esterley, who is a devoted fan, thought that nothing was too good for Speak after that long run so he sent out and got him a five-dollar pairs of pants.
When Speak made his first run on the fake, the chancellor embraced one of the students and ejaculated "Speak spoke."
Kansas cleared $300 on the game.
"Don Caesar De Bazan."
CORRECT STYLES
Mr. Wm. L. Roberts and Miss Olive Martin can boast of one more success to add to a long line in the past. "Don Caesar de Bazan" will be seen at the Bowersock opera house October 16. Mr. Roberts comes of a school of acting which has indelibly stamped his style as original and virile; having at one time been a member of the old California Stock company. He has also been connected with Mr. W. E. Sheridan, Boston's greatest tragedian, Mr. Edwin Booth, Mr. Lawrence Barrett, Mr. Lewis Morrison and many others.
Miss Martin has also served a rigorous dramatic schooling, from which she has come forth as actress of rare reserve and tremendous force.

FORTY TO NOTHING
Kansas Wins an Easy Victory Over the Midland Team.
The game of football between the Midland and University teams resulted in an easy victory for the 'varsity.
The game was called at twenty minutes after two with Midland to kick off. Mosse caught the ball and made a return kick and Kansas got the ball on a fumble near Midland's twenty-five yard line but immediately lost it on a fumble and Kennedy scored the first touchdown. Midland played very snappy ball and for a time made gains through Kansas' line but Kansas taking a brace stopped that kind of work and Voigts, Speak, Games and Hess made good gains whenever they took the ball. For the remainder of the half which ended at two fifty-five o'clock Kansas scored at will and when time was called the score was 28 to o.
At the beginning of the game Hortman was played in Sanderson's place but retired on account of an injury and Blockburger was substituted.
In the second half Sherman was substituted for Walker; Poorman for Teas and Frei for Games. Otherwise the line up of Kansas was the same as at Kansas City Wednesday. In the second half Kansas piled up the score to 40 to 0. The halves were twenty-five minutes each.
COMIC TRAGEDY.
Louis James Is Assisted by Kelley, Linda
das and G. Clifford Seeds.
Louis James came to Lawrence one night last week to play Julius Caesar, and, being a little short on available material to play all parts, decided to make use of some people in the University who are versed in the histrionic art. He wanted players to act the heavy part of the soldiers whose principal duty is to look brave, shout occasionally, and finally carry out Julius after he is killed in the play.
Their clothes fitted like the fit a Jew in a clothing house gives his customers. They were loose and baggy. Kelley's pipe-stem legs and yellow tights only heightened the ludicrousness of the situation, and the long necks of the boys were—well, to say the least, easily seen by the audience. Each one attempted to strike an easy, non-challant air, which was killing to see. Now one of them has his cards printed to read:
E. I. Lindas, G. C. Seeds, and Walt Kelley were selected. It being their first appearance on the stage they added a comic feature to the play which an audience seldom gets.
MR. G.CLIFFORD SEEDS,
WITH LOUIS JAMES.
Prof. Farrel will not return from Europe until February 1st. Just as the professor had his arrangements about completed he had an opportunity to study under the direction of Senor Vanini, one of Italy's most famous vocalists.
