21 ABOUT COUNTY GLUBS. Twenty now existing and more being daily organized. The county club organizations which are comparatively new to University life, promise to become the most direct and effective means of making Kansas people acquainted with the University, its work and its needs. Chancellor Strong encouraged the movement last year, and a number of county delegations organized clubs and gave receptions or banquets in the holidays. The blanks filled by the freshmen this year indicate that a considerable interest was taken in these entertainments, and in view of this fact, the majority of the counties are organizing clubs this year. The following counties are among those who have organized thus far: Johnson, Montgomery, Cherokee, Crawford, Labette, Bourbon, Saline, Sumner, Clay, Jefferson, Allen, Osage, Washington, Wyandotte, Elk, Sedgewick, Marshall, Brown, Cowley, and Lyon. Many other counties will organize within the next few weeks. Nearly all of them will give receptions or banquets this year. Some of them have football teams and will play past season games in their home counties. Arrangements have been made in several cases to have some member of the faculty address the club meetings The second Senior class party was given Saturday evening, December 3 in Pythian Hall. A large crowd enjoyed dancing, many under classmen as well as Seniors being present. Sandwiches and coffee were served and Sommers' orchestra furnished the music. THE 1905 TRACK TEAM. This is Another Sport in which Kansas Has most Excellent Prospects. The present outlook for a winning track team in the coming season is brighter than it has been for a number of years. The freshmen class has many strong men in nearly every event of the track. The last year's men who are back, are Will Bailey, captain of the team, Finch, Driscoll, Morris, Butler, Ackerman and McCoy. Freshmen who made good records in the trial contest at the beginning of the term are, Commons of Lawrence High School, McCrath and Foster of Carbondale High School, W. W. and M. B. Miller and Davis of Osage City High School, Gordon Livingston of Ft. Scott, Lapham of Chanute and Myers, who worked on the Chicago University squad last year. Other promising Freshmen who are good, all round men, are Young, Hunter and Coleman. The weakest point in the squad is among the weightemen; but Dr. Naismith hopes that with the acquisition of Davies, one of the strongest men on the State Normal team last season, and with Donald, Michaelson and Fischer, in the contests, that this event will become one of the Kansan's strong point. In the past, but few strong teams have competed with Kansas and the strongest of these, Missouri, is usually victorious. Where they win their largest number of points is in the longer runs, and though Kausas has had good men they are usually defeated. This year Miller, Commons and McCoy, of the new men, are expected to retrieve many defeats of the past.

St. Oldest Established Studio in Lawrence have no applicants yet,but country runs have doubtless developed men who will report for the long runs when the weather opens for practice. Kansas has nearly always been successful in the pole vault, high jump and hurdles, and this year will be no exception. McGrath. Russel and Livingston are now making over five feet in the high jump. Last year's ever victorious team of hurdlers, Butler and Morron, are still here, and for the pole vault Wall, Foster, Hulbert and Low, who can make records of nine feet without practice, will work hard for places. The applicants for pole vault will be put on the horizontal bar, and under Dr. Nansmith's direction, will soon begin practice for proper vaulting. With all these strong men there is apparently no reason why Kansas University should suffer a single defeat in 1905. "Chaperon, Chaperon, who's got the chaperon?" The Sig Alphs gave an informal dancing party last Saturday evening. George Mosbacher, of Kansas City, came up for the Sig Alph party Saturday night. The Junior class will entertain with a dance next Saturday evening, December 17, at Pythian hall. Last Saturday evening Professor A. S. Olin entertained the Senior class in Education. There were about forty people present Mr. H H. Hubbard, of Cherokee County, is spending a few days with friends at the University. Mr. and Mrs.Anderson, of Kansas City, Kan., have been spending several days with their daughter, Miss Pansy Anderson. Edward B. Krebbiel, '02, will take his Ph. D., this year at the University of Chicago. Mr. Krebbiel, who is specializing in Medieval History, spent part of last year at Harvard. The girls seem to have forgotten Chancellors Strong's statement in chapel last spring, when he said that he was glad that sorority girls here did not need chaperons, and how they all nodded approval of his sagacity and acumen in hittin t e nail so squarely upon its head. "A chaperon, a chaperon, my kingdom for a chaperon!" Chamber Music aptly describes the class of music which is most fitte for performance in a room. But it offers such signal opportunities for the display of the finest qualities of great players that it has become a common practice to perform these treasures in a large concert room where a greater number of people can come together to hear them.
