If the Missourians can't beat us in football, it is agreed that they can out-sing us.
The Missouri glee club was all that it was advertised to be. There was not a poor voice among the twenty-one members and the choice of songs could not have been better.
The training table costs $1,300 this year. What improvement we could make on McCook field if that sum could be expended there instead of feeding sixteen men beefsteak and milk.
Considerable praise is due Manager Samuel McReynolds and Director Heim Goldman of the mandolin club for bringing the Missouri glee club to this place. It was a risk financially but they have come out ahead besides giving K.U. people a good musical program.
One lasting effect the present wave of football reform will probably have is the abolition of the training table. Nor will anything give more real satisfaction to all true lovers of the sport. The training table is undoubtedly a professional feature of amateur athletics. It is unnecessary because track men and basket ball men indulge in nearly as hard exercise as football without the training table. No feature of football has caused the trouble at K.U.for the last ten years that the training table has. Nothing has been harder than to get the men to pay their board bills in full. Nebraska has had the same trouble that Kansas has had. Let us take the lead and abolish the training table, no difference what other changes the "Big Nine" makes.
PROFESSOR HOPKINS SPEAKS.
Says Bitterness of Rivalry Characterizes Private Institutions.
Professor E. M. Hopkins, head of the English department of the University spoke in chapel yesterday on the relations of state institutions as compared to those of private schools and colleges.
"When two individuals, or two institutions, each trying to do the same things better than any other can do fall into company, an inspiriting contest is the result," said Professor Hopkins. "Selfishness and jealousy do not come into that atmosphere. When we find such things we may know that something is wrong with one or both. Such a fraternal relationship as exists between us and Missouri I am sure, is more characteristic of state institutions than of those supported by private endowment."
In closing, Professor Hopkins welcomed the Missouri Glee Club, and assured them that Kansas would try as hard to beat them in music next year as she ever did in athletics. The visiting glee club then sang a swinging college melody, and closed the chapel exercises by singing the M.S.U. version of "Carmen."

No Air in Natural Gas.
In addition to his other troubles, notably a batch of Geology I students to the number of 130, Professor Haworth has before him the task of persuading Kansas newspapers that the natural gas is not adulterated with ordinary air. In the first place the companies have no pumping stations installed as yet, and could not possibly pump air into the pipes. Professor Haworth is testing the gas frequently and any adulteration will be promptly detected and reported.
