The Kansas Aggies are working hard all this week to defeat the Fairmount Collegians, whom they play Friday. The Farmers have completely recovered from the sound threshing which they received at the hands of the Jayhawkers last Saturday, and are confident of winning the rest of the games on their schedule, and finishing the season in a blaze of glory. The addition of Lamar Hoover to their coaching ranks gives them a big boost in developing good material.
Our idea of a real snake is the salary which Percy Haughton, the Harvard coach, receives for his eight week's work at Cambridge. Beginning his duties at Harvard the first week in September, and finishing in the middle of November, the talented mentor receives for his services, $8,500. Leary, his assistant, only makes $3,500 a year himself.
By a vote of 15 to 10, the Michigan Wolverines refused to return into the ranks of the Western Collegian Conference yesterday. The vote more than surprised the pro-conference men on the campus, as the team last year favored Michigans' return, and both teams announced that they were willing to return also. The Wolverines now will not have an opportunity to enter the Big 9 ranks for two years or more.
Bill O'Floerty, the keeper of the College Inn at Northwestern University, posted a sign in his window yesterday announcing that he would give a free meal to every resident of Evanston if northwestern defeats the Chicago Maroons Saturday Nov. 8. O'Floerty need have little fear for his stock of "ham an," as Minnesota romped on his, and Stagg at Chicago has will probably be the Big 9 Conference championship eleven. If Lee Bryant would only make the same offer here in regard to our game with Washburn how everybody would feed.
The Annapolis Middies at present have a back field on the gridiron which averages over 185 pounds in weight. Bledgett, Harrison, and McKeary form this rock crushing trio, and should have little trouble plowing through the farm, thanksgiving, if Saturday is not. The Army line the Saturday before. As thanksgiving, if they are busy as fast as they are heavy. With three 185 pound men in a backfield, any team is well fortified against the ravages of injury and stalemacy.
Three Good Reasons.
AMUSEMENTS
The question arises, why is the success of Billy S. Clifford in the clever musical satire "Believe Me." Several good reasons might be given, in fact myriad numbers of them, but the consideration of a few of the most essential will do here. First Care has been exercised to get a bill that will make an instantaneous impression upon the people; it is possible that nothing is at the bill of "Believe Me" lacking to make it complete in every detail. The story is pretty, carefully worked out, the climaxes are right to the point and cleverly worked up to the. Comedy is well defined and pure, the song numbers are up to the minute. Second—Choice of a lead was carefully considered and no better one could be secured than Billy S. Clifford, who can掌控 the title character under the extreme as a Comedian. Third—In selecting a supporting company to a most capable lead, only the very best talent possible was to be secured and one only needs to see the show to realize that such is the case. Each member back of Mr. Clifford has been especially selected for some one peculiar qualification necessary, when combined with the balance, a whole strong presentation of the prosaic Here are three good reasons why this company is having such unprecedented success in their latest creation. You will be seen at the Bowersock, on Monday November 3rd.—Adv.

Jumbo Stiehm has sent out a report from the Nebraska headquarters at Lincoln denying fully the existence of any "gentleman's agreement" with regard to his team from games of personal contact, and announcing that if Kansas did not wish to play Clinton Ross, the negro guard of the Cornhuskers, they need not play the game. Stiehm, however, has sent no such statement in the letter, and a good part of his statement may be regarded merely as gossip on the part of the Lincoln press.
"Present Problems in Grading, Credit and Graduate Work," will be the subject of a lecture given by Prof. Max Meyer before the students of the University of Missouri, this week.
UPHOLDS UNIVERSITY IN THE ROSS WRANGLE
W. C.Lansdon, Once Manager Of Athletics, Writes Editorial On Nebraska's Policy
Northern School Doesn't Look Extra Good, Says The Writer—Kansas Cannot Enforce Agreement
STIEHM'S MATERIAL IS POOP
W. C. Lansdon, former Manager of Athletics, comments on the attitude taken by the athletic management at the University of Nebraska concerning the Ross matter. The comment is in form of an editoria and is published in Mr. Lansdon's paper. The Salina Union.
Following is the article in part as published:
"A good many people in Kansas and Nebraska appear to be quite a bit worked up over the presence of a big negro named Clinton Ross, as a member of the team. Ross is the one negro member of a football team in the Missouri Valley. The University of Missouri and Washington University refuse to play against any team that has a negro member. At a recent meeting of the Missouri University colleges organized to exercise faculty supervision over athletic activities, it was unanimously agreed that colored players should not be used in any games between white teams where any personal contact is involved. Clapp of the team of Nebraska, assented, to and, for this so-called gentleman's agreement.
"It happens now that Nebraska University is rather poor in good football material this season and the coach of football, one "Jumbo" Stiehm, formerly a student in the University of Wisconsin, proposes to disregard the agreement against the use of negroes among white athletes. He has announced that Nebraska will use Ross against Kansas in the annual game at Lawrence. It will all happen again. The question is there doubt that Stiehm is clearly within his rights. The agreement to exclude negroes was made a year after the contract for this year's game between Kansas and Nebraska was signed and, of course, no 'gentlemen's agreement' can invalidate an existing contract. The athletic authorities at Kansas recognize the legal right of Nebraska to use Ross in the coming contest and have made no protest against the agreement. It will be eligible to compete under Valley rules and is so certified by the Nebraska authorities. The only act taken by the athletic board at Lawrence was to call the attention of the Nebraska board to the agreement and check the whole matter up to that school.
"In demanding that negroes shall participate in athletics with white men negroes and the white men who aid and abet them in their ambitions simply make it more difficult for colored men to enjoy golf and tennis, because there are valuable civil and legal rights to which they are entitled under the law."

Canrda "Frosh" Writes Let- To Chum In So-called Rhvne
Dear dim—I thought I'd write a line to tell you college life is fine. The first year is a cindh to make. I've just decided I will take Math, English, Physics, French and Greek; with Latin too in which I'm weak, but if I cannot get it up I'll let it slide and take a sup.
I turned out for the football squad and do you know it's rather odd as yet I haven't made my place. Of course I still am in the race for though Montgomery's pretty fail isn't in my view the team said to Shag—the coach —I do not want to brag. I was a star (and that's no dream) upon the Pilevie football team. I played at quarter all last year and as you seem to need one here I thought I'd turn out myself and keep the Cup upon its shelf." He said "All right, son, boy and bye we'll get it. We have Next day they must have missed my name and left me off the list. It's been off ever since, somehow, and I am with the juniors now.
Say, Jimmy, Boy, upon my word ttaff尔 Lang is sure some bird. He makes me think of Billy Strome who was a star outside at home. Of course, he's not as good as Bill, nor is he quite as fast but still he is a peach and as I found he doesn't brang or sport around. He doesn't wear sweatpants and he does that he man play a corking game of tennis too, but all the same it's really true. He's just about the best of all the tennis stars in Montreal.
The other day a man called Spratt invited me up to his frist. I think they're called the Pussy Mews and if they ask me I'll refuse to join. I do not like the bunch, although they give a corking lunch.
I bought some clothes since I got down, the very latest things in town. You surely ought to see my lily! My new check suit is just a dream. When I get home the folks will stare to see the flossy clothes I wear.
I've got to close this letter soon for later on this afternoon I'm going to the Rooter's Club, for though it's not really an important make a noise along with all the other boys. So long, Jim, drop a line or so to your old friend and classmate,
