Anyway, we will win the rest of them, so it will be all but "an evervictorious."
Some people in the University have not gotten over the "primary habit" of waving their hands, like a sailor wig wagging, when they wish to inform the professor that they know the answer to a question.
Only words of appreciation have been heard of last Sunday's Vesper services. They are bound to be popular with the students and the University could not do better than to make the monthly services a part of its traditions.
Any body can yell and throw his hat when Pooler makes a long end run for a touch down. But a lot of fellows seem to be unable to enthuse when the game is against them. Let off a little enthusiasm anyhow. The fresh air in your lungs won't harm you any, and it will make the team feel good.
The meeting of the football boys Tuesday evening, at the Santa Fe depot, by a crowd of loyal supporters shows the right spirit. Support the team when it loses better than when it wins. The boys appreciate it more in the former case and you show that you have the true University spirit.
College spirit is here, but latent at the present time. Organization is necessary, and as an incentive, the rooters should be given the best seats on the bleachers instead of the poorest.

Walter Camp, in the current number of Harper's Weekly has an article telling how difficult it is to procure a good official for a football game. Kansas had the fact brought home to them most strongly at Denver last Saturday. The referee was not only incompetent, knowing very little about the game, so all reports agree, but was absolutely biased, calling it "our ball" when Colorado would get it on a fumble. We would probably have been beaten anyway, but it is always so exasperating to a player to know that his team is playing against twelve men.
The debating council Monday night refused to accept the suggestions of Chancellor Strong in regard to debating. With that refusal, the chance to do the greatest thing for debating in the history of the University passed. The Chancellor promised that the University would get behind debating in a financial way, if the council was changed and anyone in the University allowed to enter the debates. The representatives of the literary societies were so blindly selfish to what they supposed were the societies' interest that they refused to accept the suggestions. What good reasons they have for their action is hard to say. Any society that does real literary work would not be harmed by the change. Its membership would not fall off. Of course some of
