SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1906.
Four members of the Varsity football team were seen eating chile at 12 o'clock one-night this week in a down-town restaurant. That may be one way of training for a hard game-but is it a good way?
The man who has been in charge of the cheering in chapel cannot be complimented too highly for the way he has conducted himself. He has been placed in a hard position-one of the hardest in fact, and has done his part admirably. If everyone in the University had an equal enthusiasm this would be a lively institution.
The Kansas City Star could not refrain from adding a "stinger" to the news account that the University correspondent sent in of the establishment of the training table. In an added paragraph, the sporting editor said in effect that there would be nothing to prevent star football men from forgetting to present their weekly checks, intimating that the Athletic Board would in that case be "stuck" for it.
The fact is the men agree to pay their landlady just the same as any other student. All the Board does is to add $2.75 a week for the purpose of securing more suitable and better food. They have nothing to do with what the men must pay— $2.75 a week at least.
This is not the first time that the man behind the Star's sporting pencil has gotten the idea that by using an office chair as a lookout he could get a better view of Oread's doings than the regular correspondent who is on the spot all the time. The Journal has done the same thing this year. What the sporting editors need is a little discipline.
Emile Brunner and Captain Donald made their last public appearance on McCook field this afternoon. Both men are playing in their fourth year, and today's game, the last home game of the season, was their last opportunity to carry the ball for Kansas with the Rock Chalk yell echoed back by Mount Oread.
Both men have won places in the hearts of the rooters that
will be hard to fill. Last year Pooler, Donald and Brunner were known all over the Missouri valley as "The Invincible Trio." Pooler is gone—Donald and Brunner are going. Other stars will rise and shine with perhaps just as much brilliancy for lovers of the national college game, but it will be long before we will have another three men who can occupy the same position of unity on the team; who can at the same time hold the same position in the affections of the whole University as did the "Invincible Trio," whose last members carry the ball no more after this year.
Mr. Frank Brooks, city clerk, desires us to call attention to the fact that some young men representing some University association borrowed two ballot boxes from the offices of the city clerk about a month ago and that they have failed to return the same. He requests that the boxes be returned at once as they are needed for the next election.
Will Michigan Leave "Big Nine?" Michigan Daily:
The withdrawal of Michigan from the "big nine" conference is being discussed in the newspapers and about the campus. At present it hardly seems advisable for us to remain in the "big nine" as athletic relations with the larger colleges in the west are now practically broken. The big event of the present football season will be a contest with an eastern team, and there is no reason why Michigan should be tied down by rules stricter than those affecting her chief opponents. Our athletes are fully recognized by the east as worthy rivals and as sentiment at present seems to favor withdrawing from the conference, it may be entirely possible that the board of control will do so. The move would be heartily endorsed by the student body.
A important proposition. Are you ready for the question?
Where are you going to buy that Fall and Winter outfit?
It makes a heap of difference where.
Question?
If the Suit and Overcoat come from here they'll be perfect in every way, and you'll be proud of your appearance
If your hat and haberdashery come from here it will be correct.
Hats and Haberdashery are our long suit.
Trust our prices—they're always right.

INTEREST IN CROSS COUNTRY.
Thirty-Three Men are Running Regularly.
Thirty-three men have been running the cross country courses during the last month. Of these the largest number of men were freshmen. Twelve of the first year men have been making the runs more regularly than any of the other classes. Cooley and Worden are star distance runners. Many other freshmen are showing up well and it will be necessary for the captain of that team to hold a trial run to decide who's who.
Next in number and speed come the laws. Ten of the lawyers are now running every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. They are said to have all kinds speed and wind. Wind and endurance count and the men will be sure to finish well to the front in the finals. The sophs are represented by eight men. They are training regular and will be hard to beat. The juniors and seniors have only one or two men out. They are able to draft men from the runners of the past for the finnals but stand little chance of winning the cup.
A hare and hound chase will be run in a week and the final cross country runs will be held the middle or last of November.
