The captaincy of the Missouri Valley eleven would probably go to Captain Donald of the Kansas squad, if a leader were to be chosen for such a squad. There is no man in the Valley that has been such a prominent figure or such a consistent player as has the Kansas captain.
The football season of 1906 has been eminently satisfactory to Kansas in many respects. We have met five state universities, defeated four of them and tied one. The Nebraska victory won Kansas an undisputed position among Universities of the middle west, making us logically in the same class with Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois. The fortunes of war have been against us at times but that cannot detract from the fact that in the measurement with sister states, the Jayhawker team never failed to deliver the goods.
Football enthusiasm at its height was the only thing that saved the Thanksgiving game from being a flat fizzle. A more disagreeable day or a worse field would be hard to imagine, but the enthusiasts saved the day. Standing on the bleachers, regardless of the rain, they forgot everything but the fact that the mud smeared fellows in the field represented Kansas and Missouri. The dulness of of the game was forgotten in the keen spirit of friendly rivalry that prevailed. Let's have more and more of it. It's just what we need in all our work.
The change in the attitude of the State toward the University was never better exemplified than by the recommendation of the State Auditor for the next biennium. Every item asked for by Chancellor Strong was endorsed by Mr.Wells in his report for the Legislature. There are two reasons: Firstly, because of the necessity of those appropriations and the confidence in Dr. Strong; and secondly, because of the strong sentiment for higher learning and for the University that is steadily growing all over the State.
Thought He Was Crazy.
A good story comes from Oklahoma on Acton, the star half back. A big jubilee was on just before the Washburn-Oklahoma game, and the enthusiasts captured the football squad and took them to chapel. Acton escaped and led a merry chase across town, followed by students on foot and on horse. The chase led past the insane asylum, and several guards thinking a "luny" was out, joined in the chase and helped to make the capture.

William H. Borah, a former student of the University will shortly be elected United States senator by the Idaho state legislature. Mr. Borah is backed for the office by the Republicans who have an overwhelming majority in the two houses. Mr. Borah attended the University in the eighties. He had as class associates William Allen White, Ewing Herbert and W.Y.Morgan.

Prof. Grumman of Nebraska will offer two courses in German during the next summer session. Professor Grumman's speech in chapel here last winter did much to bring about a reconciliation with Nebraska.

More Feathered Game.
John K. Beck, of Nickerson, Kansas, formerly a student at the State Agricultural College, visited University friends last Saturday. Mr. Beck was on his way to New York City, where he will assist his brother, K. C. Beck in the care of a consignment of English pheasants. K. C. Beck is one of the best authorities on wild fowl in the state. On his farm in southwestern Kansas he has the finest private collection of feathered game in the west. Dell Travis, state game warden, placed an order with him this fall for one thousand pairs of English pheasants and three hundred pairs of Hungarian partridges. These birds will be scattered over the state with the intention of increasing the variety. The state has received about $20,000 from hunter's licenses and will use the money to restock our wild fowl supply. Mr. Beck will take charge of the shipment at New York and bring it to Kansas.
