It is really very magnanimous of Nebraska not to insist on an apology from our Athletic board.
If Haskell loses a few more games from her schedule, her football days will soon be as "a tale that is told."
The biggest fish is always the one that breaks away before he is landed. The Indians can console themselves in that they are not compelled to weigh their fish, and make their story fit it.
Haskell officials certainly bear off the laurels in construing the English language. The clause of the contract providing that no one should play who had not enrolled before Oct.1, was interpreted to mean that a man who enrolled three years ago, and had not been back since would be eligible. What a successful criminal lawyer is going to waste!
Chancellor Andrews, of Nebraska University, took a conspicuous stand as an ardent exponent of foot ball as a college sport, at the Association of University Presidents this week. In this he probably represented the spirit of the whole West on the matter. There is little or no support to be found in western educational circles for the growing opposition of eastern men to foot ball. Is it because we are more barbarous, or do we maintain higher standard of the game?
At least fifty counties in the state have students in the University to the number of eight or ten or more. Every one of those county delegations should organize within the next two or three weeks and arrange for some function during the Christmas recess. The county club idea has proved itself valuable and it should become of greater value each year to the University and to the students themselves.
The proposition of Professor Mathews of Chicago, to sanction professionalism among college athletes would be the hardest blow that athletics ever received if it should be adopted. From that it would be only a step to hiring athletes outright, and thus robbing athletic contests of all advantage to college spirit.
The athletic board has never in its history been more thoroughly in sympathy with student sentiment, and it is significant to note that there is no student "knocking" on the acts of the Board.
K. U. MEDICAL.
Clinical Department of Medical School in Working Order. There Will be Sixty Graduates.
The clinical department of the K. U. Medical school, which is located in the Simpson block Central Ave., K. C. Kansas, is now in good working order, and the best specialists in the West are giving the upperclassmen there a course in practical clinical work. The hospitals in Kansas City, Missouri, have opened their doors to the students of the medical school. There will be sixty graduates this year from the school, and everyone of them is grateful for the University stamp.
The Kansan reporter noticed that almost every student had reached the age of from 25 to 30 years, and that all of them were very much in earnest. The Kansan has a reporter located there and will publish news of how the work is progressing every week.
Are Playing "Socker" Ball.
Doctor Naismith has trained the freshmen and sophomore gym classes to play the English or "socker" foot ball which the Pilgrim team has been playing in the east. A match game between the freshmen and sophomores will be played in a few days. The field is located west of the Chemistry building.
You'll make one if you pay some high priced Custom Tailor $30 or $40 for your Winter Suit or Overcoat.
Our $15 or $20 Suits or our $18 or $20 Overcoats will bring tears to the "exclusive tailor's" eyes.
A bad hit.

Nebraska Receives Our Advances fn Good Faith.
ARE FRIENDLY.
As yet our board has received no official notice of the action of the Kansas board, but the fact that they were willing to make the first advances seems to have impressed Nebraska professors and students very much. Although a couple of weeks ago, when a number of students were interviewed the sentiment of the majority seemed to be that we ought not to resume relations even if Kansas took the first step, now the general feeling is that Nebraska should show a magnanimous spirit and accept the offer of the Jayhawkers' board. No official action can be taken, however, until the next regular meeting of the board, which occurs next Monday.-Daily Nebraskan.
The following is one of the songs our boys heard at Colorado:
(Tune, "Tail of the Kangaroo.") Oh Kansas she was jolly, Oh Kansas she was gay, But when the game was over, She felt the other way; She saw the constellations, The stars, the moon, the sun, Her team felt kind o'sickly, When that foot ball game was done.
The Sunday school of the First M. E. church has just organized a special department for University students and a number of new classes have been started which will be conducted with special reference to students, Special music is provided each Sunday and an orchestra leads the singing. The Sunday school meets at 12 o'clock and students will be most welcome.
The sophomore engineers have an innovation in the class yell line. After taking a quiz in Chemistry II, they came out with:
"Red and the Blue, Red and the Blue,
What's the matter with Chemistry II.
