PLUCK.
The Normalities, who battled with the heavier Jayhawkers Saturday, went home with the feeling that they barely missed victory.
Indeed, the game is probably regarded with as much joy by the Warrensburg men as if they were their own team who held the heavy end of the score. Victory for them would have meant delirium.
"Phoq" Allen's team had been pointed especially for the Kansas game and the results of his training were apparent. Time after time the Normals would skirt the Kansas ends for good gains and then the Jayhawkers would wake up and hurl them back. Never did the lighter team get in striking distance of the goal. But often as they were compelled to stand in the shadow of their own goal posts, they never once quit fighting.
The big plunging Kansas backs battered the line of their plucky opponents who never once finched. Both teams played a wonderful game and the score, 27 to 0 doubled pleases both. The Mose-Frank machine ought to be satisfied with the outcome; the followers and rooters are.
When all is said concerning the play, it remains to praise the winners and admire the losers. Kansans are proud of the team this year and Kansans are fair enough to see the worth in others. Here's hats off to the Normals for being as plucky a team as the Jayhawkers will have to meet.
Champ Clark spoke here of the "lugubrious howl of the pessimist." He must have been reading some of the Missouri Valley coaches' opinions of their teams.
A chapel speaker notified the undergraduates Friday that they were in prison. Whereupon they all prayed that their terms might not be more than four years.
THINGS WE DON'T DO.
Think our friends could fail to vote for us.
Know any new ways to write home for money.
Buy enough guest tickets.
Think any other than Kansas has a chance at the Missouri Valley Championship this year.
Deny that we have always been able to pick the world's series winner.
Like the sameness of fare at the boarding clubs.
Commend the abolition of football
valles.
Appreciate the band.

GET INTO A CLUB.
Get into some kind of a student organization. If you do not you are missing a good part of your college life. In the University of Kansas there are dozens of clubs, organized for dozens of purposes.
The membership is changing all the time, and every one of the clubs.
or practically everyone needs new men. All tastes are represented. If you are inclined to argument, get into a debating society; if you are attracted to politics, there are several political clubs that will welcome you. No matter if you have no hobby, you ought to become represented in some sort of club life. If you do not, you are likely to drift along with but a small circle of acquaintances and become stereotyped in your mode of life.
Don't get the idea that you are a superior sort of a fellow and that you can get along best by keeping to yourself. Be a mixer. There is just as much of an education to be acquired by brushing up against your fellows as there is in the class room. Begin by joining a club.
That Chinese graduate of one school of journalism must be working overtime for some of our best little newspapers.
Now that Kansas gas meters have moved to be real George Washington as truth tellers, somebody really ought to investigate the P. C.
ELECTIONS.
The class elections just held have been fuller of interest than any for many years previous. Dodgers were distributed, sample ballots were scattered and presented for a week previous, and altogether it seemed like a return of the "good old days."
That the students do not take as great an interest in everything as in politics is a pity. The final returns will show that practically every student voted. Of course this was due in part to the efforts of the candidates themselves and their henchmen. But it does show that all the students need to act is a little pressure brought to bear upon them.
The majority agree that the election was a lot of fun, and the successful candidates, who are now office holders are being besieged by every manner of student as the time is now ripe for appointments.
ON THE BLEACHERS
Curry and rub down and polish a horse as you will on the day of the race, that will not make up for its lack of consistent and prolonged training. No more can it be expected that the wildest and most vociferous enthusiasm on the day of the Big Game will gloss over a half hearted support during the preliminary season. The yelling on the bleachers so far this term has been of that mild and polite variety suggestive of a young ladies' secondary reciting poetry that one has learned and no one wants to learn. It must be dishearming to the yell leaders to expend their efforts on such stold complacency. If the coaches depended on a vigorous practice the morning of November ninth to win the game—you laugh at the idea. But how about you on the bleachers? You'll have to begin work very soon.
And while we are talking about bleachers and games, we hope that tomorrow will see no recurrence of certain discountable acts and comments that have marred several contests this fall. To taunt players in the game either on errors of play or personal peculiarities displays a petness of spirit that has no place here. Nor can there be any excuse for directing insulting remarks "at" strangers, male or female, on the bleachers. Californians are not gallery gods to hoot and whistle and give cat calls at the players that spectators. Be it to the shame of us all if anyone leaves the campus tomorow saying, "So 'this' is the result of university training!"—Daily Californian.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF WISE OLD BOYS
Never wholly separate in your mind the merits of any political question from the men who are concerned in it. You will be told that if a measure is good, what have you done to make those of those who bring it forward? But designing men never separate their plans from their interests, and if you assist them in their schemes, you will find the need for assistance from the aside, or prevented, and the interested object alone compassed; and this perhaps through your means—Burke.

Concordia Foundation.
TOUCHING PITCH.
Strew on her roses, roses,
And never a spray of yews!
In quiet she reposes;
Did they did too!
REQUIESCAT.
Her mirth the world required;
She bathed it in smiles of glee.
But her heart was tired, tired,
And now they let her be.
Ah, would that I did too!
Her life was turning, turning,
In mazes of heat and sound.
But for peace her soul was yearning
And now peace laps her round.
Her cabined, ample spirit,
It fluttered and failed for breath.
Tonight it doth inherit
The vastly hell of death.
— Matthew Arnold.
IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS
GOOD MANNERS AND BAD
"There is quite a bit of talk about the present flourishing condition of debating societies at the University," said an alumnus who is now an instructor on the hill this morning, "but when I went to school here there were as many interested in debating, even with our smaller enrollment, as now; and the inter-society meetings were nearly as important to us as a football game."
One football candidate at the University of Colorado is so huge that it was necessary to order a special football suit for him.
A tradition of the University which has failed to keep pace with the University, according to a former student, is the old custom of planting trees or vines at commencement time. This annual event was formerly an important part of a classes' final week on the hill and many alumni think it would be as appropriate now as it ever was.
"The limp in that football player's walk," remarked an old time professor the other day, "reminds me of the way that most of the students walked when we used to play 'shinney' between classes."
E. S. Martin in the current Atlantic Monthly, gives a few words of advice to college freshmen. The following is what he has to say about manners:
In the good old days at K. U, the freshman as well as the upper classmen were known and appeared often in the public eye. Each morning at chapel a freshman or sophomore gave a declaration and a junior or senior delivered an oration before the students and faculty.
The casual observer may think that college politics at the University are carried on with a rather high hand. One can hardly venture out on the campus without being accosted by some politician who is in show to the relative merits of the different candidates. So much for the present.
In the old times of the University it was different to a certain extent. The custom then was to make each voter purchase a student enterprise, ticket, and this gave a field for speculation. In those days it was not always necessary for the voter to buy these tickets. If he worked it right somebody would probably buy one for him. All he or she had to do was to let is be known that his or her mind was not fully made up as to how the ballot was to be cast, and some kind friend would find it convenient to present that person with an athletic ticket. Many of us are not particular just how we vote, and it seems rather unfortunate, both for us and for the Athletic Association that the good old days are gone.
"If you had come as far as you have in life without acquiring manners, you might well blush for your parents and teachers. I don't think you have, but I leg you hold on to all the good manners you have, and get more. Good manners seem to me a good deal to seek among present-day youth, but I suppose they have always been fairly scarce, and the more appreciation of them among the women are uncommon free and bad in this generation; more so, I think, than they were in mine. Since cigarettes came in, especially, youths seem to feel licensed to smoke them in all places and company. And the boys are prone to too much ease of attitude, and lounge and loll appallingly in company, and I see them in parlors with their legs crossed in such a fashion that their feet might almost as well be in the ladies' laps."
