THIS IS A BUM STORY; READ IT
It Tells How They Do It To Get To Nebraska on Pure Nerve
YOU DON'T NEED MONEY
One Student Made It To Columbia And Back on Fifty-Six Cents
"The conductors and porters of our trains are a mighty fine bunch of men—when they are tipped liberally." This is the candid statement of a senior of the University who dislikes notoriety and fears that if his name were mentioned he would receive a free-will offering from the national brotherhood of railway conductors and porters. And the jingle of money has no meaning to him. He can't appreciate it.
"I found this out last year when I bummed my way to Missouri," continued this student. "This year I decided to stay in Lawrence instead of going to Nebraska but the sight of the team leaving last night with Michael, a former coach caused my mind to drift back to the time when I bummed my way.
PORTERS ARE SPORTS
"The porter on that Kansas specil to Missouri last year must have been acquainted with me or else he had been tipped off for he wouldn't even come back to pick him up just as soon go through a window as through the door. The berth that I slept in five other men also occupied. The upper berth was empty and the bandbands piled their instruments and suit cases up there. But two men were buried under that avalanche of dust that the berth had paid their money slept well that night but we two boys under the berth was mighty hot.
"After we left Kansas City the cion stopped making regular trips and the rest of the night was comparatively easy. The bummers took up a collection for the porter who made no more fuss. We told him that there were much more that conch where there could have been. But in the morning the aisles were so crowded that it was with difficulty that anyone rot through.
LEFT WITH 56 CENTS
"I had just fifty-six cents when I left Lawrence. I ate regularly in Columbia. But it didn't cost a cent. The waitress would always write the amount of my bill on a slip of paper. But that sliver never reached the front counter. It was a queer procedure but it got by.
"The game was very easily manipulated. One of my frat brothers on the team let me carry the ball onto the floor. This saved me some big money.
ONE TICKET WORKS
"The entire police force of Columbia was at the Columbia station when we started back to see that no one bummed. And the porter wouldn't let us pass without a ticket. Furthermore every window was guarded. Then, even when in the car just as well as twenty tickets if you give it time—and we did."
“During my trip I tipped the various cons and porters just fifty cents. This left me with six cents on my arrival at Lawrence. So I blew myself to a hamburger and spent the rest of six cents in extreme extravau-

gance in the shape of a stick chewing gum."
Reports and investigations show that more men are hobbing their way to Lincoln this year than have ever bummed before. The big chan which Kansas has of winning this game Saturday is stirring them on. Last night a red-ball freight leaving at midnight was literally taken by the ambitious Jayhawks who don't care to pay out their money.
They rode on that U. P. freight up to some little station north of Topeka where they changed to the direct line into Beatrice. The freight reached the town and then took a time this morning early and the men expected to reach Lincoln this noon.
DR. HALL TALKS TO MEN SUNDAY
His Subject, "The Young Man's Problem," Should Interest All Men
"The Young Man's Problem" will be the subject of the address by Dr. Winfield Scott Hall, of Northwestern University, at four-thirty Sunday afternoon in Myers Hall. Since Doctor Hall is considered one of the best auxiliaries in the United States on this line of work, his talk will be one in which all University men are interested.
"Every man in the University should hear Doctor Hall in his address at Myers Hall Sunday, said Dr. W. H. C. Wilson of the University." He is an able snakewoman.
Doctor Hall is widely known as a medical teacher, writer, and speaker. This is not his first visit to the University, and those who have heard there will watch for this being an interesting as well as convincing speaker.
Fraternities are asked to send all freshmen to this meeting and as many others as can possibly come are urged to do so.
