He who rides a tiger cannot dis mount.—From the Chinese.
HELP THE TEAM.
Whether you are going to Wash burn or not, there is no reason for non-attendance at the rally tonight and in fact it is practically inexcus able on the part of any able bodie person to stay away.
The team needs your support. It's up to you to see that it gets it. The game tomorrow will be a hard one, as the Congregationalists have been pointed for Kansas, and like every other team in the state, it is their one great ambition to triumph over the Jayhawk.
Every team that plays the K. U. men has for its slogan, "Beat Kansas." Washburn is far from being an exception, and being now in the pink of condition, and keyed up to the best fighting spirit of the season, it is hardly reasonable to expect the Jayhawkers to have an easy time of it.
Kansas must beat Washburn. If the rooters stick together tonight and tomorrow, there can be but one result. The team will do its share; see to it that you do yours, and start in by going to the rally, tonight.
Go to the rally. It is such spirit on the part of the rooters that reflects in the work of the men on the field. Believe in the team. Follow it on its trips whenever possible. Do this, and the Kansans will be doubly feared.
Considering the football rivalry of the last few years, why should any loyal K. U. man wish to ally himself with a Lucky Tiger mine?
Daily Kansan notice four years hence—the ladies of the Bryan club will meet the ladies of the Roosevelt club in joint debate tonight.
UNCLE JIMMY.
The law school met last night to do honor to "Uncle Jimmy" Green, the "best friend the students ever had." It is a pity that the whole school can not participate in this tribute to the man who typifies, more than any other, the Kansas spirit.
Long after the difference between the feminine and neuter endings of a Greek noun or between the country's bank clearings in 1880 and 1890 has been forgotten, the remembrance of "Uncle Jimmy" will live in the memories of all who ever went on the hill. When the recollection of textbooks is most hazy and uncertain the figure of a gray-haired man, prophesying another victory over Missouri, will appear before our mind's eye as if the scene were yesterday.
"Uncle Jimmy" will always be associated with K. U. His years of work and toil for the school have made him an integral part of it. His example of loyalty under any and all circumstances has brought more than one student to a fuller realization of what real college spirit is. He has been our leader in battle, rejoicing with us in victory and consoling with
us in time of defeat. But he has been with us always.
More than thirty years ago, it was when "Uncle Jimmy" began his labors here. At that time the University was still in its infancy. He saw it grow, day by day, and year by year, until it became one of the country's greatest institutions of learning. And "Uncle Jimmy" has grown with it.
He has come to be the recognized leader of the students, especially in matters pertaining to athletics. It is to him that they go for advice, not as a dignified professor or to the Dean of the law school, but as to a friend and companion. They know that he understands the student's point of view and that his words will be sympathetic and full of wisdom. To the student body he is friend and counsellor, first, and professor, afterwards.
In his work as member of the faculty he is, of course, intimately associated with the law students. It is fitting that they should celebrate in his honor. But there should be some way for the rest of the students to show their reverence for K. U.'s grand old man. He belongs to everyone of us.
To the outside world, he is James Wood Green, A. B., A. M., Dean of the School of Law of the University of Kansas, but to us he is, and will always be, "Uncle Jimmy."
The freshman cap is again in the spotlight. Of course, some will surgest that spotlight is the most appropriate kind.
Several professors held quizzes Wednesday. From which fact we infer that said professors were not Democrats.
The truck drivers of Boston now have a college. They will probably steer clear of football and make auto polo the favorite sport.
IT WONT DOWN.
In today's issue of the Daily Kan san, are two communications concerning freshman caps. Why there should be so much talk about this matter is hard to understand. The rule has been passed by the student council and has stood the test of four years.
There is little doubt but that it will continue to stand. The freshmen themselves admit that the cap is a good thing for them, yet they object to being paddled when they appear without one. They say that they have spirit. If so, why stand up and fight for law violators?
The upper classmen will continue to insist that the caps be worn, and the freshmen will continue to leave it at home whenever they think they can do so safely. It is not that the freshmen have such a distaste for their headgear—they think that they are getting ahead of the upperclassmen by breaking a law, and it is well known, that everyone has a desire to break a law now and then.
The Oread Debating club decided against woman suffrage the other night. Evidently the club is jealous of woman's prior claims in the debating art.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF WISE OLD BOYS
The meenest man on the hill has been discovered. He bet his lady friend a dance on Roosevelt, and then made his date for Nov. 13.
A man that is busy and inquisitive is commonly envious; for to know much of other men's matters cannot be because all that ado may concern them, but not necessarily needs he that taketh a kind of play-pleasure in looking upon the fortunes of others. Neither can he that mindeth but his own business find much matter for envy; for envy should never exist there, on the streets, and doth not keep house.

ABOUT THE "FROLIC"
Editorial Daily Kansan:- I wonder if the views of a freshman who believes in wearing his cap, and who took part in Monday afternoon's "frolic" from which a few upper classmen emerged sadder but wiser men, would be of any interest?
Few freshmen object to wearing the caps. Most of them do object to being forced to wear them. Most of those who do not wear their caps are simply revolting from the idea of being forced to do anything.
As I understand it, the freshmen are required to wear their distinctive headgears to develop their class spirit. Some upper classmen seem to think they wear them for fear of a paddling. I consider class spirit a difficult job at top fine to be compounded into the freshmen by means of ladies.
So three or four hundred freshmen could hardly be expected to stand quietly by and see a half dozen or so upperclassman claim the glory of having "paddled a freshman in the presence of the whole hygiene class." I have seen no finer example of great grief than that which led the freshman to classify sweep those audacious upper classman off the hill.
I hope that the aforesaid upper classmen are fully satisfied with the amount of class spirit shown.
The Kansas League of Municipalities is one of the interests of good government in Kansas that the Extension department of the University is assisting in every possible way.
COMMUNICATION
At Stanford all classes wear distinctive caps.
A Freshman.
On the subject of the freshman caps, about which the Kansan has had a good deal to say, I wish to propound a query, or two and to make a few remarks. Has it occurred to you that the trouble arising from this rule of the Student Council lies in the fact that the rule is itself radically wrong? Is it not true that the person of a freshman is as inviolable as that of any other gentleman, and that as long as this violent laying-on-hands is practiced there will be self-respecting freshmen who will resent and resist it? You may not know it, but when this rule was made it was thrown as a sop to the near-ruffian element in the upper classes. The rule has no basis in reason. So the enforcement of it might result in brutality. It is folly to delude ourselves with the idea that this is not hazing. It is hazing of a very positive and objectionable type.
