GRIDIRON MEN NOT FLUNKERS
FOOTBALL PLAYERS MAKE
SATISFACTORY GRADES
Registrar's Records Furnish no Excuse for Abolishing the College Sport.
One of the reasons the enemies of football gave for its abolition from the University was that it developed prize fighters rather than intellectual high-brows. The record of the football players as given out by Registrar Foster today shows that of the fifteen men who earned their letter at the gridiron sport only one "flunked." That one was Lovett the big guard. He failed in only three hours in English literature and he could easily make up that deficiency. The only other men who do not have absolutely clear records are Pleasant and Randall. Pleasant was given a two hour condition, and Randall a five-hour condition. Both men can remove the conditions with a little extra work for a few weeks.
Only the one flunk among the fifteen men shows that the football players are good students and make grades that are up and above the average of the whole student body. The fifteen "K" men carried work in medicine, engineering, law, and the College for a total of about 250 hours. Or that number only three hours were failures. The record of the whole student body in comparison will probably be found below that of the football team.
Fine Arts Recital.
The students from the departments of expression and music, of the School of Fine Arts, will give their bi-monthly recital on Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock in Dick's hall. All students and the public are invited to attend this recital.

Sigma Xi to Meet.
The regular monthly meeting of the Sigma Xi will be held Thursday evening at the home of Professor B. J. Dalton, at 1017 Indiana street. Most of the evening will be given up to the discussion of "The Teaching and Correlation of the Sciences in the University of Kansas." The main line of the discussion was set forth by Professor McClung in a letter which he sent to each member. The questions to be solved are the falling off of attendance in classes of science on the ground that too much time is taken up with Laboratory periods, and the value of credits in science work, in comparison with other subjects that do not take so much time.
L. R. Tillotsen will read a short scientific paper. The regular midyear election of new members will also take place at this time It is reported from reliable sources that there is a large number of nominees.
TIGERS HAVE NEW GAME.
Will Develop Football Men With New Invention.
Dr. E. C. Hetherington, the athletic director of the University of Missouri invented a game last year to be used in developing football men. The game was given a trial and proved such a success that it will be used as a regular part of the football training this year. The game is a combination of English rugby and basketball.
Coach-Elect Dillon, of the Tigers, has written his assistant, Dr. J. A. Gibson, that spring practice should be begun this month. This practice will consist of the new game which teaches the new principles of punting and passing and a few drills on the finer points of the game. There are a number of this year's freshment as well as those who held down 'varsity positions, who will be out for the practice.

Medical Frat Seems Assured.
The medical students who organized sometime ago to petition Phi Beta Pi for a charter, have been assured that they will receive the same within a few weeks. The petition was passed on favorably by the national officers of Phi Beta Pi, and has been sent out to the different chapters for their action. Every chapter that has been heard from so far has voted favorably and there are but four more to report.
Phi Beta Pi is one of the few strong medical fraternities. Membership in this fraternity is not gained solely through attainment in scholarship, but is more like ordinary national fraternity. The chapter here intends to have a house in which they can give parties, and hold other social functions.
Dr. E. Shorer of the medical faculty, and Ed White, a senior in the College, are members of Phi Beta Pi.

The Stubbs-Grenfell fellowship is the latest to be announced at the University of Kansas. The fellowship pays its holder $1,000 for a period of one and one-half years. Roy Wiedlein, a graduate of the University last year, has been appointed to be the fellow. Governor W. R. Stubbs gave the money for the work of this fellowship for investigating the possibility of extracting from the duetless glands of deep sea mammals certain substances which are of exceeding great value in medicine. The noted Dr. Grenfell, the Labrador missionary, is the one who suggested this line of research. Mr. Weidlein will spend several months in studying the scientific side of his subject and will then go to Labrador where he will spend the summer investigating the material which Dr. Grenfell will assist him in collecting. He will return to the University next winter for laboratory study of the products of his summer's work. Physicians especially are greatly interested in this investigation.

"He Loved the State."
When a man has once been active in Kansas affairs it seems that his affections always remain with this state, regardless of how far outside its borders his subsequent pursuits may take him. Professor James H. Canfield, formerly known to everyone in Kansas as the active and interesting teacher of economies at the State University, was such a man. At his funeral, President Butler of Columbia said that he believed the word "Kansas" was engraved on Dr. Canfield's heart. Professor Canfield was much given to expressing his view on economic subjects and while in Kansas was the center of considerable controversy. He commanded the entire respect of even his adversaries, however, and his career of usefulness after leaving the state, closing with several years as librarian of Columbia University, was watched by his former associates in Kansas with interest and pleasure. Much has been published about him since his death last spring, and in a recent magazine article a lettr written by him a year ago is printed in which he said that after his death he did not wish anything in the way of public ceremony or memorial. But one thing he would like to have done, he admitted, and that was to have his former students at the University place in the old class-room a small tablet on which should be engraved these words, "He loved the state and was loved by its children."
Big and Ugly in Those Days.
Kansans who may be curious to know just what a dinosaur looked like will have the opportunity of finding out the next time they visit the State University. A graduate of the University, Sydney Prentice, who is now connected with the Carnegie Museum at Pittsburg, has recently sent to his Alma Mater, a plaster of paris model of one of these great three-horned monsters of other days. An original skull of the dinosaur has been in the museum for many years. It is six feet, six inches long. The model sent by Mr. Prentice is comparatively small, but represents the supposed appearance of the animal as it walked the primeval plains. To one who studies the proportions of this beast the thought is like y to suggest itself that Form r President Roosevelt is, after a l hunting only "small" game.
