SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28.1905 If we win in Colorado today, it is an all victorious team. Nebrask's chances of getting into the Big Nine went glimmering last Saturday to the tune of 31 to 0. We all agree heartily with the remarks of Mr. Clark from Nebraska in his chapel talk Thursday, "It ought not to be, we deplore it", but—. The Kansan exchanges with all the leading university and college papers in the United States. Come into the office at any time and read them. What has become of the interclass debate agitation? Such a contest would be of great benefit to the University both in point of class spirit and in training for inter-state debating. President Elliot of Harvard has very justly criticized the evils of football, but fails to suggest what should be done about it. At any rate the evils probably will not cut down this season's gate receipts. A prominent Baker student stated a short time ago that the students there would favor debating with Kansas University. If the Uuiversity should match a debate with the Methodists there would be, "something doin" that would lay football enthusiasm in the shade. The recent action of the Nebraska Athletic Board in regard to the Freshman rule proves that Professor Hogg was not far wrong in his recent remarks about people in authority in athletics in that institution. The proposed change of debating management will undoubtedly put debating on a sounder financial basis, and will arouse a more general interest in the University. The literary societies may object to giving up their control, but if they are organized on sound working principles they cannot possibly lose in prestige by it. The juniors and seniors of the University of Nevada, in a joint meeting, decided that freshmen would not be permitted to wear corduroy trousers. In order that the rule should cause no loss, the upper classmen bought all the corduroy trousers that the freshmen had. Gurglets. There once was a maiden named Mabel, Who once tried to perform on a kabel, But the kabel it broke And since she's not spoke The reason's because she's not able. -R G. T. -R. G. T. Faculty Foolishness. On Thrusday, at Lincoln on the football field, occured the annual exhibition of faculty feats by the "Profs" of Nebraska. Why can't we have the same here? We certainly have plenty of good material. For instance; hundred yard dash, entries Bushong and Haworth; hare and hound race, leader of hares, Snow on bicycle, leader of hounds, Olin; standing straight-a-way smile, entry, Galloo; exhibition of fancy bare back riding, Freeman and Hendrix; pole vault, entries, O'Leary, Sterling and Skilton; slow race, entries, Dyche and Cone. Dr. Van der Vries could organize a military company that would give some fancy drills. Professor Dunlap could read some selections from Shakespeare between events and as a grand finale, Judge Green and Chancellor Strong could have a game of horse shoes. It would certainly draw an immense crowd and the proceeds could all be put into the Students' Loan Fund. Over coat weather We are the people for Overcoats and Cravenettes.
