The first of the series of Christmas concerts will be given by the orchestra in Fraser Hall next Tuesday evening. Let's make these concerts big events. Keep Tuesday open. Athletic season tickets good for admission.
If anybody in the University has had a notion that his presence is not needed at Kansas City next Thursday, it's time to forget it. The right spirit won our hardest game last Saturday. A careless attitude, a slump in enthusiasm, told another story yesterday. An athletic team is nothing without a spirit to hold it together. "Esprit de corps" expresses it exactly, one spirit instead of one for each man.
The fact that one side cannot always be victorious when it continually tries the fortunes of war was pretty well rubbed in yesterday. No one will attempt to say that the crimson and blue warriors could not defeat the Manhattan heroes, if they were in their proper form. They were off yesterday. No one was bruised up to be sure, but the lack of practice since Nebraska made a woeful difference in the real condition. Manhattan's quick back field did the rest.
A little misjudgement of our friends the enemy yesterday had not a little to do with our defeat. The field goal right at the start looked too good. Angney was taken out to give Coulter a chance. Then Coulter was hurt and a man who has not run the team this year had to play the rest of the game. Other changes in the lineup did not add to our strength. The idea was to fix a margin and play within it so as to save up for Thanksgiving. The only trouble was that the margin was too small. That's where the "enemy" came in.
The Y. M. C. A. jollification last night revealed a wonderful change in the status of the organization—a change that is barely under way, but one that will inevitably continue. The association is rapidly coming to mean more to more people than it ever has before. It is beginning to show everywhere in college activities. The best men of the football squad, of the track team, of the baseball team, and of the basket ball team are leaders in the association. The captains of three of them are among its best members. There is not a committee of the association that has not one or more fraternity men and a fraternity man is its president. If signs mean anything, there's a time coming when to confess that one is not a member of the association will be to confess that he is an outsider.
One thing the University is prone to lose sight of is the fact of the cordial friendship that the other institutions of learning of the state feel for us. At any rate, not enough is made of it, and we are likely to forget to do our part. The following comments on the Nebraska game illustrate the point:-
Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U.!
When the result of the Kansas-Nebraska game was announced on Washburn field last Saturday, the Washburn crowd rose as one and gave the K. U. yell and three cheers for Kansas.
In the morning Captain Williams, Coach Weed and Manager Stahl telegraphed their best wishes for victory to the Kansas team.
All of this kind of spirit is a sign of true sportsmanship. Washburn has always had a good feeling for K.U.-"our friend, the enemy."-Washburn Review.
About thirty students saw the K. U.-Nebraska game at Lincoln last Saturday. All were glad that Kansas won.—K. S. A.C. Student's Herald.
My Dear Editor:
The writer of "The Evolution of the College Yell" in the Kansan says, "No one knows how the 'Rock Chalk' was substituted for the 'Rah! Rah!"
TURKEY DRESSING
will soon be the order of things in Thanksgivingdom. The strutting turkey will soon cease to strut he's going to be "dressed." With man it's different. When he's dressed in one of our
it's a pleasure to "strut." We have the styles worth "gobbling" up at prices to be "thankful" for. A veritable feast of values. Let us fix you out with a suitable suit for Thanksgiving day. It won't cost you much. Even less than you think.

His inquiries evidently did not proceed very far. For those of us who were in the University twenty years ago know very well how the substitution was made. It was made by Mr. A. R. Marsh, who was at that time Professor of English Literature in the University. At least it was suggested by him and at once taken up and used.
