IT WASN'T SO BAD
The Freshman Came—The Freshman Saw—The Freshman Was Conquered
HE GOT THE FOOTBALL BUG
Lively Scrimage on Hamilton Field Converted Spectator
"Come on Bill!"
"What—down to football practice—us?"
"Yes they will—the coach likes to have spectators down there."
"They wouldn't let us watch."
"Sure!"
"Let's wait a while. Thing'll go more interesting later in the season."
"No—let's go tonight. It'll be in- light."
"I don't believe it—but I'll take a chance. You're always dragging me down."
SO THEY WENT
So they "went down"—two of them—both freshmen.
"This is where the Varsity works out," points out the more talkative of the two, as they approach Hamilton on Sunday. They stretch a stretch of green, over the surface of which players dash in signal formation. "See 'em—in blue sweaters."
"Look—their's Coach Olcott—the man in the red sweater and the light tan football pants—the clean ones See 'im?'
"Uh huh."
"He's talking to that short, stoichi chap with ruffled hair. That's Coach Clark—you know—the new one." "You'll look."
"See, they're planning what they're going to try, but the guys they're goin' to try. Bill waiter."
He sees Coach Clark briefly address a small squad of players in blue jeans, who retire immediately to the sidelines. Coach Ocott approaches another group of varsity men, and they immediately line up for play.
here is a short
"Here comes the freshmen!"
THE FROSH APPEAR
IT'S NOT SO BAD
Coach McCarty lines them up in front of the regulars; Coach Olcet tosses the Priority center a ball that is in back of signals, and the serirmime is on.
Coach McCarty with a band of tyros in crimson sweaters appear around the corner of Hamilton Hall as an invading army might swarm onto any hostile field. The freshman is out on the field north of McCook—they are ready for their nightly scrimmage with the Varsity.
"Look at them! See that!" Bill is enthused by the shock of bodies; he thrills to the first energetic tackle "Gosh—that was neatly done!"
Then they are at it again. Signal follows signal; shift follows shipl follows play. The freshmen work vigorously; they do their best to break through the Varsity line and break up the formation. Gathering all their strength and nerve, they fing themselves at the runner, striking the interference with terrific force, grubbing everything within the sweep of the arm, bumping the testicle of an octopus. Shook follows shock; men rise from the downs unsteadily, blinking stupidly, then are up, and at it again.
The scrimmage resumes and slow, steadily, the Varsity forces its way down the field. A forward pass, skillfully executed and perfectly timed, brings the ball to the goal posts. Then comes a shout.
"Here," directs the coach. "Come in and play left end, you!" A burly chap steps forward from the waiting line of regulars, and a spent player goes up to the corner, lines it. "Here, You, play one of these back halves, Russ, Smith, at guard."
And so on. An entire new Varsity team is substituted for the one that has been playing. The squads are faced about, and scrimmage begins again, the regulars slowly carrying the ball back toward the other goal.
THE GLORY OF CONFLICT
The glory of conflict, the joy to fight, the electric thrill that comes from watching the units in a smoothly-working machine—the areteer. Against it, the coach's Another play is begun, which the coaches watch closely. The forward lines charge and crash—there is a heavy contact of men, a tearing sound, a heaving, a panting, a form of giggling figures into a pulsing, swaying mass.
But wait! Into that mass no man with a ball has plunged. It is a ruse—a false attack on center to draw strength from some other point. From behind the heaving mass, four figures dart. Running away, a warty tyranny, sensing the play, endeavors to break the rush. A moment, and the Varsity men are upon him, shoulder to shoulder, clearing the way mechanically and silently—a battering ram of blue. Behind the interference the runner, with the ball tucked under his arm, glides like a shadowed fish, their feet lifting heavily. He sees their knees lifed high, their necks rigid, their heads thrust forward. In a moment they will leap upon him—beat him
down—break loose toward the goal posts.
AND BILL IS CONVERSE.
"Get him on," he said. "It is Bill shouting—Bill, the man who didn't think football practice would be interesting. "Got him."
AND BILL IS CONVERTED
The freshman "got." It was a won-fulder tackle—the clean, diving sword that always gets results. As by some miracle, he parted the interference and clutched the runner's knees. An ulung there until they pulled him off.
OF COURSE—THE MORAL
"Good conduct for yourself what
"Good bunch of freshmen, what? Bill and his friend were on their way."
way home from the field "Yeah!"
"Nice practice, don't you think?" "Yeah!"
"Team looks good, too." "I'll look!"
"Bet we beat Missouri—and maybe Novakva."
"Looks that way. . . Gee!"
Silence for two minutes. Then Bill snacks.
"Let's go down again tomorrow."

HISTORY OF K. U. URGED
FOR COMING ANNIVERSARY
Why does not some professor or instructor who is seeking name, fame or fortune write the history of the University for the last twenty-five years, is a question that is going around the Hill. In all probability we are commemorating the fifteenth anniversary of the University.
In 1891 Prof. M. W. Sterling wrote a history of the first twenty-five years of the school's growth. It is hoped that the fiftieth year will not go by without a similar story of the second decade of the University.
Professor Sterling says he believes that such a history would pay for itself and would be of inestimable benefit to the University in later years, even if the Board of Administration would not pay for the work.
C. B. Highbargin, '87, of Eureka,
came back to the Hill this morning
to see the K. U. of 1916. The twenty-
nine years since Mr. Highbargin's
graduation have brought a great
change in the University; and
although Fraser, Snow Hall and North
College are the only buildings fami-
lier to him and he recognizes it.
Mr. Highbargin says it is a joy to revile
the old memories by being here. He
is now a druggist at Eureka.
Does it pay to neglect Life Insurance or unplug some phases of it if are unplugged?
