THAT GAME SATURDAY.
The highest towers begin from the ground.—From the Chinese.
The Aggies have came and gone, and the Jayhawk is already pruning its feathers for the Sooners.
It is doubtful if more pluck has ever been exhibited on McCook than there was in the Aggie game. It was great, both for the roots and the teams, and even the Tiger game can hardly be more thrilling.
That Kansas won is due to the wonderful defense the Red and Blue team showed in the last quarter. It was such stubborn resistance as has made the men of Kansas famous and feared.
The rooting was the best ever heard here and the Thundering Thousand stood back of the team at all stages of the play. As for the Aggie roosters, they did their share and showed a spirit that will win games. And when Kansas next plays on a foreign field, the Jayhawkers should remember the number that made the trip from Manhattan, and remember also, that the Aggie band found a way to be present.
Things are beginning to look brighter for Kansas, and the team appears good enough that the rooters are expecting a victory from Oklahoma Saturday. And with play like that shown in the Aggie game, they are not likely to be disappointed.
If the smokeless smoker of the K. N, G. resembled in any way the fireless cooker, it is thought that there must have been a lack of warmth and cordiality. Reports would show, however, that they had rather a warm session.
"When Love is Young in Fraser," says a headline. From the story we would say the case was fairly well developed.
STUDENT WISHES
Sentiment favoring a reconsideration of the ruling that took the Kansas-Missouri football game away from Kansas City is growing, and a dozen pennants are being formulated that ask the Regents to consider the students' wishes as regards this game. It is expected that practically the entire student body will sign these petitions.
If athletics are for the students, it is no more than right that the biggest football game of the year be played where they want it.
Of course, some persons will say that the students voted on the proposition once and voted for University gridirons only. Consider, however, what the students were facing. If they did not vote to take the game from Kansas City, there was a half-formed threat to abolish football entirely. The students thought that they were saving football when they cast their ballots against foreign fields, while now, it appears that financially, they gave athletics a death blow.
If the students desire a return of the good old days, they will manifest it in some way or other, and the
Board of Regents will consider their wishes.
It now remains to see if that consideration is favorable or unfavorable. If unfavorable, it will seem that athletics are not for the students after all.
Golf score—13 to 13. Lucky or ur lucky which?
JUST A "K"
Considerable has been said about feminine "K's" in the past, but there has been nothing said concerning the masculine "K" being for the decoration of young women.
It is an actual fact. The "K" man sometimes gives his "K" to another. Of course it is his; he probably has a right to lend it, or sell it, and to whosoever he chooses.
There is no custom or tradition or ruling that the "K" is non-negotiable, but there is a sort of tacit understanding that the "K" is for the man who won it.
Student opinion concerning this practice is not generally known. If the students regard the wearing of the "K" as something sacred, the general opinion must be the same.
It is a poor way to show pride and respect to the letter, and seeing that the custom is not tolerated at other universities, the Student Council should pass a rule for bribing it here.
"A Kicker is Found." So reads a headline. Luckily the "kicker" proves to be a toe artist on the Jayhawker football team.
"MOVIES" ON THE MOVE
"MOVIES" ON THE MOVE
Aften ten years of service the moving picture has been taken out of the recreation class and condemned to hard labor. The moving picture is being used in many schools; hereafter it will educate as well as amuse.
The field of subjects that can be taught by this new method is unlimited. The doom of the geography text book is sealed. Instead of having to study a dull text, the pupil will be shown our country on the film. History, too, is made alive. Our forefathers are seen in the very act of signing the Declaration of Independence. Clever photoplays show Paul Revere on his mad ride, the colonial woman strong and brave weaving a blanket of silks for children who fought for our liberty. Washington, Lincoln, Lee all pass and repass on the screen. Then, too, pictures of things in the making are shown. Shops are visited where steel rails and grain mowers are made.
The moving picture machine is used in other than the public schools Medical colleges find it indispensable. A school for the deaf in Colorado teaches mining and farming by the use of films. Picture machines are used in class rooms at the University of Missouri.
And now word comes that the Italian army treats its soldiers to a free moving picture show every night to make them satisfied and keep them from getting homesick. The movies are indeed on the move. And the move is upward—University Missouri.
One of the most interesting curiosities at Hatfield is the pedigree of Elizabeth, which is to be seen in the gallery. Those intrusted to make out the document wisely discovered that her descent could be traced through every important person, and especially through every beautiful person, straight back to Adam and Eve. It is on record that the virgin Queen highly commended the virgin London Standard.
ANCESTRY BACK TO ADAM
THE PHILOSOPHER
Such as the chain of causes we call fate, such is the chain of wishes; one links on to another; and the whole man is bound in the chain of wishing forever—Seneca.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF WISE OLD BOYS
We deliberate about the parcels of Life, but not about Life itself, and so we deliberate about life's parallels, apoches, and have the trouble of beginning all again. And so, finally, it is the way to death, but as soon as come suddenly upon us—Sensca.

Ethereal minstrel pilgrim of the
shui!
Dost thou despise the earth where cares abound?
Or, the wings aspire, are heart and eye with both with the nest upon the dewy ground?
The ynest which thou canst drop at will.
Those quivering wings composed, that music still!
Leave to the nightingale her shady A privacy of glorious light is tine; Whence thou dost pour upon the world a fire
Of humidity, with instinct more divine;
Type of the wise who soar but never roam;
True to the kindred points of Heaven
STUDENT OPINION
Will someone kindly inform me who was responsible for the placard in the gym during registration week which read, "Student Enterprise tickets entitles the holder to see the K. U.-M. U. game?" I saw the placard, took it to be the truth, bought a ticket and stung. Now I am trying to figure out who put the placard there and what were his intentions.

DON'T ASK US Editor Daily Kansan:
SPORTS FOR WOMEN Editor Daily Kansan:
SPORTS FOR WOMEN
R. J. W.
Women are just as much in need of sports as men. Every argument that you can offer for men's sports—the development of alertness, precision, accuracy, the training in team play and the subordination of the individual for the good of the group, not to mention muscular development and all the benefits that exercise brings—holds equally good for women. The day when the requirements for a perfect lady were pale cheeks, limp hands, and the ability to faint upon every occasion, the day when the only exercise said lady should take was a little Delarsite to make her limply graceful is past. Woman, and the college woman preeminently, is taking an active part in the work of the world today, and she needs just as much good red blood, just as strong and vigorous a body as man.
Nor do girls enjoy exercise for exercise's sake any more than men. We might all be Sandwalls if we spend ten minutes or half an hour every morning gravely swinging clubs or bending our trunks forward and to the side and backwards, and following all of the rest of the endless rules in solitary state before the mirror with the fresh breeze from an open window blowing full upon us. But you want to do it that way, surely. They want more than formal exercise. They want play And the better the game, the keener the contest, the more they like it, and the better fitted they are to go on and mingle and work with men. Why shouldn't this be so with women? They say that women cannot work together, that women's organization are full of factions and strife and pulling different ways. It is no wonder. Most women have not been trained to work with a group and to subordinate personal things to the main interest of that group. And they are not more men than they will train them in the ability to work with others, which is essential in our complex modern life. And so sports for women should receive even stronger emphasis than sports for men.
But mere sport for sports' sake is not enough. There must be an element of contest in the game to make us enjoy it, a chance to win the game, and still further, a chance to win recognition so that all may know that one is a good player. And this is the reason for the college letter. Did you ever see a group of old H. or Y. or C. or K. men? No matter how high a position a man holds, he is always proud of the fact that he made a team and won a letter. Of course it is an incentive to good sportmanship with all that that means, and so, of course, women, needing sports as a tool, are also willing to do other jobs the man practically allow the women to wear a letter, a W, or a C. or an M. provided it is duly feminine and of a totally different style, so that it will not detract from the masculine glory. And why do women want letters? Because they stand for having made the team, for fellowship, fair play, honesty, goodosity and good feeling—for good sportmanship not only in the gymnasium, but always.

LET 'EM VOTE, SAYS
TALLEST SUFFRAGIST
Chancellor Frank Strong, Six Fee And More, Declares That He's Every Inch for Women Balloting
The honor of being the tallest supporter of woman's suffrage in the state of Kansas reats, thus far, upon the shoulders of Chancellor Frank Strong who never misses an opportunity to admit that he sees no good reason why the two women in his family are not fully as competent to have a voice in public affairs as is the head of the household himself.
"There are some public questions with which men are better able to deal than are women," grants the head of the State University, "but political organizations deal with numberless subjects today that come particularly within the sphere of women—questions that affect the home.
"Politics touches many more subjects than formerly. Questions affecting the interests of women and children directly are among the paramount subjects that are up for public discussion. Women do not go out of their way in entering the field of politics for politics has entered the realm of politics as a fundamental moral right to a voice in political affairs."
Saturday. November 2.
Chancellor Strong says that when he goes to any city and watches the men passing on the street he feels that he would rather place his destiny in the hands of his wife and daughter than in those of the average man who goes by in the enjoyment of the full rights of citizenship.
The Chancellor has made no formal suffrage addresses, but has taken opportunity on several occasions during the year to express his views on the subject.
The U. S. Marine Band will play for benefit of woman's dormitory fund.
