TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1922 THE 1922 FOOTBALL SEASON He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with the God"* Mishnah, 8:4. THE 1922 FOOTBALL SEASON With a final flourish and a bow, 1922 interreglabeled football has moved out of the spotlight, and the stage is shifted from the chalked gridiron to the rectangular court. From the standpoint of games won, the gridiron season for the University has not been a particularly successful one. In only three out of eight hard-fought contests have the wavers of the Contestors and the Blue be able to take the long end of the score to the shows with them. And only one of these wins was a Valley game. Starting the season against one of the strongest teams in the East, the Kansas team has been pummeled, pounded, and thrust into the shadow of its own goal posts time after time, and has fought, nevertheless, as only true sons of Kansas can fight, like gentlemen and sportspersons. Yes, from the standpoint of games won, the season just closed has not been a particularly successful one for the Jaywalkers. But that isn't a Kansas' way of looking at it. Interleague baseball exist, not to win games—for that is only incidental to their purpose—but to build men, to precipitate school spirit, to develop a pride in and a love for the Alma Mater. And so, in trust values, Kansas has had a successful football year. Every loyal Jayhawker is proud of the way his eleven fought on a slippery field against a heavier, bushier team of the Neckasha game. He is proud of the sheer gait and nerve that the whole squad — Spurg, Burt, Mac Higgy, Prexy, and all the rest—is played in every game this year. And pride in and affection for the Alum Matter is born of mutual supply for those who represent her on the gridiron, the court, the diamond, and the track. The more highly developed fish have fewer vertebrae. Then we should appreciate being called a "spineless fish". Twilight has crept over the Hill. Stadium Field is a giant "U", a white blur amid the soft shadows of the gathered dusk. The echoes of the last gun of the 1922 season are dying away. Exit, football! Enter, basketball! PART OF THE PRICE The public the world over is heartless and rather cruel in dealing with its leaders. Rarely is it satisfies simply to cast aside its idol of yester day; it must depreciate his work, which much accuse him of countless faults and finally it must dispel the hal about his name that only the his torian of a half-century later can fine greatness there. The other day Lloyd George was defeated in an attempt to regain the premiership of Britain. Perhaps that was right; perhaps England needed a change. Only time will decide that. At least it was the will of the people. That happened less than a month ago, and already the public and its mouthpieces, the journals of opinion, are beginning to realize what a "poor stick" was Lloyd George. Even now they are saying that what he did was only for appranglement of self, and that today, a fallen statesman, he is jockeying between parties in a crafty attempt to regain power. Lloyd George led his people through the most crucial period of the century, and a wise and able leader he proved himself to be. Surely personal ambition alone could not carry a man through the soul-trying events of the war in the noble fashion of Lloyd George. And yet the public forgets the bigness of the man now that he has passed out of the lightligh, and fixes its attention on an occasional act of his which seems to savor of petitions. And, strange as it may seem, the attack upon a fallen leader is not always led by the journals of the opposite political faith; there is often no louder cry than that raised by the independent journals of opinion. Even those in support of the statesman sometimes forget him once he is "down." It is the way of men. We talk about the political machine and the merciless way in which it operates; now and then we deceive the lack of humanness in the government. But there is nothing more machine-like than the manner in which the peoples of the earth treat their leaders of yesterday. To be sure, there are public men who deserve the most scintillating criticism—those who have fluently disregarded the trust of public office. But the public does not discriminate. Sometimes this lack of justice on the part of the people breaks the spirit of the man, as it dies with Woodrow Willman; and, again, as with Lincoln, it serves ourely to add a touch of nobility. It is a part of the price that a great man must pay for his greatness. A Kansas town is having evangelical meetings now with a large following, and next week two dinasce a week will start. No doubt the people aim to offset the bad influences of the evangelist. WAITING STATION Students and faculty members who ride to the University on the Lawrence street cafe, have seriously missed the waiting station at the an open back of Green Hall, since the opening of the new concrete Missisippi street roadway. When the wall of the road was rebuilt it was so high that persons come from the cars could not easily get to the top without injury to themselves, so the waiting station was received, and has not been replaced. Any stations on the property of the University, belongs to the state, and the Lawrence Street Railway company has no authority to place new ones or move the old ones. During winter and stormy weather it is essential that shelter be provided, in which street car patrons may wait. Small ones have been erected at the street car stops along the athletic field, and at Mississippi and Thirteenth streets, but larger ones should be placed at the Green Hall stop, and at Robinson Gymnasium, before the snows and rains of winter set in. Recently a man paid $36,000.00 for a single strawberry plant. Surely one can complain about the price of chrysanthemums after that. Only twenty days until Christmas, and only seventeen of them are shopping days; ten of the seventen are school days. Seven days remain in which to purchase gifts for Father, Mother, Sister, Brother, little orphan Annie, the old chum down the street, and so on infinitum. Yuletide cards must be bought for acquaintances, and finally Christmas shopping becomes a burden, and rest and relief are longed for more than Santa Claus. University of Kansas students are favored by fortune in living in a city where the merchants particularly anticipate the needs, desires and CHRISTMAS SHOPPING whims of college people; and make a point of having in stock the newest and latest merchandise for student purchase and inspection. Lawrence is especially attractive at a shopping center during the pre-holiday season, too, because of the varied exclusive gift shops which feature Christmas and holiday goods. Competition has made it more convenient and economical for Lawrence people to shop at home than to go to the cities to make purchases. It will be worth while for University students to get the rush of Christmas shopping out of the way, by taking advantage of Lawrence shops and stores before leaving for the vacation. Another proof that civilization is arising back! At least she is behind he times. The international diplomats at Lausanne are just beginning of "wahm" those "Dardenella Blues." Jayhawk Jargon It is reported that robbers are entering Lawrence roaming houses. They had better not get into a house with less than two windows with less than they went in with. Clemente, the Tiger, has honored Lincoln's grave and pulled off the visitor's regular stunts on perfect schedule. All he has left to do is to sign up for a five-reel feature picture. Title: The Tiger's Revenge Some ignoble person has had the astounding audacity to compare the actress of a certain "John Bairnmore" with our great artist Radolph Valentine. Some complain that the Common's prices are too high. Well, we've got one conglomerate. If this generation is going to equip the next one won't have to. Prof. of Mathematics—Some students require only five minutes to work problems which others require more. How are you saving Now, what else there? Drillart Student in back row-The first ones work too fast. The doctor who claims to have found a way to live nine hundred years must find comfort in reflecting years past and be the worst.
