One good result of the election is, that the man who says "I told you so" hasn't been seen since.
Fame awaits the man who can write a football parody to the tune "Of the ghost that never walked."
Those freshmen are certainly wonders. Just think of it, 37 to 0 against the State Normal of Missouri.
There has been an infection prevalent for the last few days which, for want of a better name, might be called the "Beta grin".
Let's get over this idea that the man who is chosen to lead the cheering does it because he wants to show off, and therefore is a proper target for all the jollying.
Why don't the freshmen get busy with an ovation for their football team? Their record will certainly justify it. The whole freshman class at Chicago University turned out the other day to "whoop it up" for their gridiron heroes.
No better men could have been chosen as leaders of cheering than R. L. Douglas and Wesley Arnold. If the men will come out and follow their leadership we will have the best "rooting" we have had for years.
It was hoped to make the athletic election this year "free from boodling,"but alas,reformer, thy hopes were vain. One fair co-ed does not deny, is even proud of it, that she sold her vote for two "pounds of butter scotch with cocoanut in it".
Since Professor Hunter has found that the mosquitoes, that carry malaria stand on their head when at rest, beware of the acrobatic little singers that hover around your bed at night. If they settle down in a gentlemanly way with all six legs touching your nose, turn over to dreams, they are harmless. But if they go through some
gymnastic convolutions, with their hindermost appendages in the air, beware there is poison in their probosces.
What K. U. needs most pressingly is a man with leather lungs and a goodly amount of gray matter under his head covering. A foghorn voice is not the only requisite of a yell leader; he should know when to yell and what to yell.
Slumbering enthusiasm began to stir in chapel yesterday morning,in anticipation of the Oklahoma game. Football may, as eastern college men are beginning to assert,cost more than it is worth as a sport,but there is nothing like it to stir up college spirit.
World's Champion at Basket Ball
Forest Allen made his first appearance at basket ball in the gymnasium Thursday evening. The ceiling was too low for him to show how well he could throw long goals, but he gave the men some good ideas of how to get into the game. Allen will be able to play in the games in this years schedule, and will make a strong addition to the team. He is one of the world's champions, and is said to be the best goal thrower in the world.
The Pharmic picnic, which was to have been had at Behrman's last Saturday, and was postponed on account of the weather, will hold forth this Saturday instead.
Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Salthouse of McPherson visited their son Wirt, College '09, on Saturday and Sunday.
