Athletic Association to Guide Freshmen in University Work
Student With Intelligence Plus Physical Training Makes Best Athlete
In order to co-operate with the faculty members in guiding the freshmen in their work, the Athletic team is sending out letters to the faculty.
The letter says: "The department of intercollegiate athletics realizes that the first duty of the students of the University is their academic work. It is the desire of the department to co-operate with students in the schools of the University, and particularly with the individual members of the faculty, on maintaining a high scholastic standing in the student body. It is our special concern that those students who are entering competitive athletics at the university are equipped with physical training, but that they gain honors in their studies."
The letter continues: "The student who shows real intellectual capacity and also has the happy faculty of physical co-ordination, always makes good progress in the department is striving to develop. We do not want 'the other type, Often times the freshmen are misguided as to what their goal should be. He is primarily for an education that does what he can for his University."

It is the purpose of the letter to so emphasize that the freshman's first duty to the University is to get his studies. The department is sending the members of the faculty each a list of those students who are in competitive athletics, and they are asking, in addition, for their work. Several of the freshmen players have been sent from the field and asked to turn in their equipment in order that they may complete their work.

Sophomore Men's Gym Classes Being Taught Art of Self-Defense
Boxing Practice Valuable Aid to Physical Development Says Frazee
The members of the sophomore men's gymnastics classes who are receiving lessons in boxing are making rapid progress, according to G. B. Patrick and James N. Frenze, in structors, who are in charge.
Half of the members of each class put on the gloves at each session. This gives every man a chance to box once a week. There are not enough gloves to provide each man with a pair, so while part of the gymnasium is open, half of work inside the gymnasium, or are taken for a short run out-of-doors, winding up with some gymnastic work.
It is not the aim to make price-fighters, or fighters of any kind out of the members of the class. The motive for teaching boxing is simply to strengthen the various muscles of the body, teach quickness of movement, and to give a little knowledge of self-defense.
The instructors hope they may find some promising material in the games. Before the squads begin to develop, according to Mr. Frazzee, the men must become better acquainted and develop some team work.

Ancient Warriors, Bloodthirsty and Hungry for Meat, Battle to Win--In Hospital for Month
Those of us who are accustomed to the highly scientific game of football as it is played today, find it hard to imagine a termination and annihilation of f the enemy was supported just as ardently as any game is today. In the days of the 90's, when Spooner library and the university campus, the players used to crawl into their mattress-like uniforms and sally forth to battle, knowing full well that a third of them would cripple them for weeks to come.
Both teams would line up and at the given word, plunge straight into the center with the wild attack of savages. The man who carried the ball could feel confident that a score was reached. In various positions upon his body he was declared down. The play who could slug and kick his opponent any way or any where, was considered the master strategist of the team. He could be an end run would have been considered the height of "yellowness."
The roots always fortified themselves with several grounds of good whisky, put on a stand-up collar with half a yard of necktie and sallied forth to the game with a knee. Then one should get the impression that the Crismon and Blue team of those days did not have its strategy, though. The signal would be given and the teams would pile up. Suddenly the ball would be lost. Far down the field a halfback would be brought in. One quarter had concealed the pigskin beneath his jersey.
Then there is the story of the time that the team was within a yard
of the goal. To smash through the opposition seemed impossible. A short council of war was held and the game resumed. Signals were shouted and the crowd rose to its knees as the spectators were astonished to see the backfield men seize the man with the ball. With a tremendous beave they succeeded in throwing him completely over the line and behind the goal. He went to the hose and threw three weeks but he won the game.
Then came the long end run and the forward pass. A Jahewhawk would thrush half a pound of rubber nose guard into his mouth, and race around the end for panda at a time. His shins were protected by cane guards which cracked and popped upon violent contact until the crowd broke. He was broken. Pads a foot high bulged from his shoulders, and a sort of vort arrangement made the football suit appear like the union suit of today. Time passed and new rules were added while old rules were discarded.
added while old rules were discarded.
The players began to do away with the splintered roosting. Rules forbidding the use of the fists removed the hazard of a broken nose so the nose guard was cast into the rubble heap. Kicking was abolished and the shim guard its place on the floor. The helmet forbidden food was continued the continual fine smashes and piling up. But the players of the old days got just as much fun out of the game as those today. The Kansas roofters chewed just as wildly, and pop was distributed with equal abundance. Regardless of the size of the roosting fists can be assured of one thing:

Lecture on Poet, Howells
He Enjoyed Many Friends, Says English Instructor
"William Dean Howells was acclaimed by his friend Mark Twain, as the peer of the English language," said Miss Rose Morgan of the rhetoric department, in the second lecture of the freshman literature series in Fraser hall, Thursday afternoon, Nov. 15.
"Wildly known in literary circles, Howells enjoyed a host of friends and it was with the utmost grief that his admiring readers learned of his death in 1920. The kind sympathy of the middle-western accounters for his saying in the last years of his life that he could see more stories in a day than he could read in three weeks. A book for books and a humanitarian's outlook on life as evidenced in the latter during the slavery issue, continued throughout his literary career," said Miss Morgan.
Elliott Differentiates Between Two Movements
To eliminate the confusion in the minds of many regarding the advent of pay-up week, which begins Nov. 19, and of the Memorial Drive at the same time, Sherman Elliott, treasurer of the Memorial Corporation
made the following statement today:

Anyone who wishes to make a payment on his pledge may do so at any
of the banks downtown or at the Memorial Corporation office on the first floor of Fraser hall.
