ABOUT THE PLAYERS
WHO BATTLED ON THE GRIDIRON
FOR THE UNIVERSITY.
Something About the Individual Men Who Formed the Best Football Team Kansas Ever Had- Some of the Most Brilliant Plays
The team of '98 met with many vicissitudes during its career. Many times did ominous clouds all but shut out the light of hope. Many difficulties arose which threatened to disrupt the team. For a time there was a disagreement between the team and the coach, but the most serious difficulties were those which arose between the team and the faculty. Yet, through it all, the stock stood as one, and the members came through the trial more closely united and more persistent in their determination to win. They practiced faithfully though always under circumstances that were most disheartening. They received no encouragement from the faculty and but little from the students. It was with the greatest difficulty that "scrubs' enough to give the 'Varsity a good hard practice were gotten out upon the field. There were but few of the men on the team who had had any considerable amount of previous experience upon the football field. The most important positions had to be filled by new men. At the beginning of the season the prospects were very discouraging. The advancement was needily slow, but Coach Woodruff and Captain Mosse went to work persistently and as the result Kansas University can boast of the best team she ever had, a team that was second to none in the west.
Something about the individual men on the team.
Mosse, captain played his characteristically good game at right guard, throughout the whole season. This year he has established a reputation by his remarkable place kicks and punts. In starting a game off he seldom kicks less than seventy yards. He did some remarkable tackling during the Ames game, twice throwing men through the air for a loss of ten yards. In line plays he is a giant and is splended on defensive work. As captain of the team he has been eminently successful. He worked hard and earnestly for the success of the eleven, and when Coach Wcodruff was ill, did the coaching himself. He is highly respected by every member of the team, and is a general favorite with the students of the University. Mosse is a native of England, 25 years of age, standing 6 feet, 2 inches tall, and weighs 196 pounds. This is his third year of play for Kansas, and he is now a member of the Senior Law class.
Wilcox, center, was a new man. He advanced rapidly and has made a record of which he may well be proud. He was fast in breaking through the line and getting down the field on punts and was perhaps the surest and hardest man at tackling on the team. He is an earnest player and learns rapidly and will doubtless make a reputation next year. Wilcox is a native of Cloud County, Kansas, and is studying law. He weighs 183 pounds, stands 5 feet, 9 inches and is 20 years of age.
Tucker, left half, is also a new man on the team. Early in the season he distinguished himself by his swiftness and fearlessness. He has always been a hard player and plays with a will. He has considerable weight, which he uses to advantage. During the season's games, when Tucker took the ball, something was expected to move, and it usually did. He put up a splendid interference and was a superb tackler. He will probably be in the University next year and great things are expected from him. Tucker is 19 years old; 5 feet, 9 inches in height and weighs 182 pounds.
Hamil, who has earned the name, "Giant
Buzzi played the other half. Last year he played substitute end on the Varsity and proved a good, faithful player, but when put at half this fall, proved an especially valuable acquisition to the team. He is the fastest man on the Varsity, and has done lots of damage on fake plays. He is especially good on all offensive work. When Buzzi gets away with the ball he is almost sure to make a touchdown. He is an all around good, heady player. Buzzi's home is in Arkansas City. He is in the Junior class of the Arts school. He is 22 years old, measures 5 feet, 10 inches in height and weighs 165 pounds.
Hamill," played left guard on defensive play and left tackle on the offensive play. He is generally acknowledged to be the best guard in the west. In the line he is invincible, and for breaking holes through the opposing lines he has no superior. For breaking up interference and stopping end runs he has no equal on the team. He is a highly enthusiastic player and his words of encouragement upon the gridiron have brought many victories to the red and blue. Hamil is 24 years of age, stands 6 feet, $4 \frac{1}{2}$ inches in height, and weighs 220 pounds. He is a graduate of Law '98 and is pursuing studies in the sophomore arts school.
Woodward, left tackle, rapidly developed into a splendid player toward the end of the season. He played on the scrubs last year, and with the opening of this season his work was such that it was scarcely believed that he would make the team. At Warrensburg he was put into the game merely because it was an easy one. There he surprised everyone, even himself and by his brilliant playing won a place on the regular 'Varsity team. His advancement was so rapid that by the end of the season he was a phenomenal player. Alone he made wonderful assaults on the Nebraska and Missouri lines and when aided by Mosse was able to go at will. As an all around player he did excellent work, and no doubt great things await his future career on the football field. Woodward's home is in Salina, Kansas. He is of very heavy build, standing 5 feet, 10 inches in height and weighing 196 pounds. He is 21 years of age.
The position of right tackle was filled by Tom Smith. When Smith came to the University this fall there was a place for him on the team. By his work on the field last year Smith asserted a claim to football honors which no one could deny. The best that can be said of him is that he played his position. His offensive work was especially good and he broke through the opposing lines with ease. Those teams which tried mass plays over Smith, did it to their sorrow. He never failed to break up interference, and thus prevented many gains through the Kansas lines. Smith's inclination toward slugging has been severely criticised. Perhabs he isn't a good Samaritan for Kansas, but he is the last to start unfair play. His roughness only showed itself when the opposing team resorted to roughness. When the game was fair, Smith played fairly. Smith is a native of Salina, Kansas. He is 23 years old, stands six feet in height and weighs 190 pounds. This is third year at the University.
Lon Silver, full back, played on the Lawrence High School team two years ago, but he was not familiar with such a system of play as is used at the University. He has filled the position on the 'Varsity well. He is a good tackler and a splendid runner. He has considerable speed which he used to good advantage. Silver's home is in Clay Center. He is 21 years old, is 5 feet, 9 inches tall, and weighs 175 pounds.
In Avery, right end, Kansas possesses one of the best men in the country. He played tackle last season and was a tower of strength in the line, but at his position at end he is most valuable. He was in every play and was death to interference. He played a brilliant game throughout the season and we feel confident in saying that he is by far the best man in the west. Avery is a native of Kansas, is 21 years of age, weighs 172 pounds and is 5 feet and 11 inches in height. With his football he has carried his school work well and is considered one of the best students in the school of Engineering.
Simpson, left end, was a daultless player. He had all the qualities which make a champion on the gridiron. With the ball in his possession, facing a sure tackle he never slacked his speed, and when thrown, instead of being carried back, advanced the ball by his impetus. He played as substitute on the team last year and did good work. Simpson is a native of Kansas. He is 21 years of age, measures 5 feet to inches in height and weighs 168 pounds. He is a member of the Sophomore class in the Arts school.
When Kennedy, the best quarter Kansas ever had, left Kansas University, the hopes of football enthusiasts fell to the ground. They

Papers of General Interest Will Be Read by Dr. Johnson of St. Louis and Professors of This University- Meeting of General Interest
The Sanitary Convention that meets at the university next Thursday and Friday the 8th and 9th, should be attended largely by the students.
The address on Thursday evening on "What Sanitation has Done for American Life," will be given by Prof. John B Johnson, of Washington University, St. Louis. This gent eman has a wide reputation among teachers and practical science workers as a clear and forcible writer and a speaker of fine presence. He is a member of several scientific bodies, both American and Foreign, and is the author of several scientific works. Some of his books are used here as texts by the students of the Engineering school. Prof. Marvin knows of Prof. Johnson's ability and says that he can safely predict that what he may have to say will be well worth hearing.
On Friday there will be three session of the Convention: morning, afternoon, and evening. These will be held either in Snow Hall lecture room, or the chapel, a which a number of short papers will be read, together with such discussion as the time will allow and the interest demand.

CHAPEL.
Changes Adopted in Management Bring Good Results.
Since the "convocation," the interest manifested in chapel exercises has been increasing. At that meeting Prof. Hopkins, in behalf of the chapel committee, outlined a plan for the conducting of the morning exercise which embodied several new features. It was the aim of the com-
mitten to so increase the attractiveness of the meeting that the interest of all students from all departments of the University would be aroused and result in a greater attendance.
With this aim in view they have decided to make the service more informal than heretofore. Instead of the old custom of advertising the leaders beforehand, the speakers will serve without previous announcement. Instead of leading for a week, he may take one service or several, consecutive or otherwise. The leaders will also not follow any order and there may be more than one at a single meeting As usual, clergymen of the city, visiting ministers and others will be invited to aid in the exercises. The reason for not announcing the speaker for the day is to emphasize the fact that the service is of a devotional character and not a lecture or entertainment.
Services of special interest will be conducted in whole or in part by men who heriothe have taken part less often than others.
In his talk at the mass meeting, Professor Hopkins alluded to some of the things which operated against the services. Perhaps the greatest evil attendant upon them at present is the disturbance caused by the conversation in the halls. The committee requests the cooperation of the students in meeting the difficulty by maintaining perfect quiet in both the first and second floors during the chapel. The many benefits of so doing are at once apparent. The chapel doors could then be left open for the ingress of students and the first part of the the service would not be interrupted by the opening and closing of doors. At present, even with closed doors, conversation in the lower floors, as well as in the second, is distinctly audible and disturbs the chapel so severely at times as to all most interrupt the exercises.
In order to reduce the confusion of entering and taking seats the committee also requests that all enter before the close of the responsive reading, and that those who come first occupy forward and inner seats, leaving others for those who enter later.
Some simple means of calling attention to the quiettime is desired, and it has been suggested that at the ringing of the bell, placards be suspended in the halls to remain only during service and to be used until the need for them disappears.
The convocation, bringing the whole student body together enmasse, proved an excellent opportunity for the committee to present their plans and invoke the cooperation of all Their efforts have been seconded by the University body during the past week. The attendance has increased and many members of the faculty, who have so far taken no part have expressed their willingness to assist.
As to music in the chapel exercise, the University has a great many advantages over the colleges of the state. There if nothing which adds so much to the attractiveness and impressiveness of such a service as a pipe organ. When the organ was finally set up at the University, descriptions and comments concerning it filled the newspapers of the state and it was pronounced one of the finest musical instruments of the west. It is of great value to chapel, as are the excellent grand pianos which aid in the chorus and solo work The chapel leaders are ably assist, ed by a strong corps of musicians from the music school.
Chapel attendance has already shown an increase and is growing larger from morning to morning. At the present rate, it will not be long before the number attending will be far in excess of that at any former time even when chapel attendance was not optional, and it will be an hour for the assemblage of all instructors and students.

It has often been remarked that new professors in the University assign much longer and more difficult lessons than professors who have long been identified with the school. The new professors are doubtless very enthusiastic in their work, but are often unfair to the students and to the remainder of the faculty.
The student body should be well represented at the Sanitary Convention which will be held in Snow Hall next Thursday and Friday. Dr. Johnson of St. Louis will be the principal speaker, and popers will be read by several members of the faculty All of the papers will be of general interest.
Mr. H. C. Avery will captain the football team of '99. He was chosen by the unanimous vote of the team. Mr. Avery is an enthusiastic player and has helped to fight many a hard battle on the gridiron for the glory of Kansas University. He will doubtless make a splendid captain and we may rest assured will always have the interests of the team at heart.
Nowhere is the growth of the University so apparent as in the chemistry department. The chemistry building is not large enough to accommodate all the students, and some of the classes meet in the basement of the main building. It has been proposed that Snow Hall be used by the pharmacy school and that the next new building be occupied by the biological department. This would prove very unsatisfactory, however, for Snow Hall is unadopted, by the arrangement of the rooms, to the most advantageous study of chemistry. What is needed is a new chemistry building and a museum.
The ill feeling which has gradually been springing up between those members of the faculty who hold forth in the main building and those of Snow Hall, has culminated in a challenge to a match game of basket ball to be played next Saturday west of Snow Hall. The different members of the faculty who will participate in the game will go into it with the avowed intention of slugging.
scratching and cloking. It will be a war to the death. There will perhaps be a lack of scientific playing but such a contest of bone and snow should not be missed by true lovers of athletic sport.
SOCIETY.

The Biological Club will have an open meeting before the Christmas vacation. All the Departments will be open and their collections will be on exhibit. Some of the advanced students will have microscopes and make a display of Bacteria etc. There will also be some stereoptic views given in the lecture room. It is the intention to make the meeting very interesting and will no doubt be entertaining for all who attend. This will be a rare opportunity and all students should try to avail themselves of it

Have you been over to see Fowler Hall lately? If you have not, go over and see how the work has progressed in the last few weeks. The exterior of the building is almost complete and we can now see what a fine structure adorns the western part of the campus. Those who at first saw but a portion of the wall in process of construction and thought the rough finish appeared unattractive, will now need but to take a general view of the building, to see how much the broken surface adds to the general effect.
A temporary switch board has been set up, wires adjusted and electricity furnished for the other buildings. The currents light the other buildings and furnish power for the organ. Loads of machinery are arriving daily.
The massive furnaces are now in running order, and furnishing the power to run the extensive machinery with which the building is equipped. One engine of forty-ons horse power is at work and another of far greater power will be in operation in a few days.
AMUSEMENTS.
There are no dull periods. The action is terse, sharp and brisk. The entertainment embraces everything that is new and popular in the line of music, and it is the kind of high class merriment which never fails to cure the 'blues' and brain fag. 'The Real Widow Brown' is a big success.

"The Principles of Rhetoric," by Prof A. S. Hill, of Harvard, appears in a new edition In binding and print, the new book is excellent, but more than this, it is a revised and enlarged edition of the work already so well known under the same title. The former edition was one of the very few really standard works on rhetoric; the present edition is in many respects better One of the main beauties in a book like this is, that it is usable as a guide regardless of class work. It would perhaps be difficult to name a discussion of rhetorical principles which would be more helpful and inspiring to the person th a wants to acquire the ability to put what he has to say into good language and pleasing form.

feared that the team would be weak in that position, but to the gratification of all Owen came to the front and has been playing a very creditable game. He is small in stature and very active and very strong. His work at tackling was very good, and for recovering a fumbled ball he was always at the right place. His fifty yard run at Kansas City on Thanksgiving day was a fitting close to his brilliant career. Owen has played football before, two years ago he was the star half back on the Arkansas City team. He was in the University last year, but did not go upon the football field. Owen is 22 years of age, measures five feet seven inches in height and weighs 145 pounds.

CHAPEL.
Continued from First Page.
The subject of chapel talks during the present week, conducted by Prof. Sayre, has been practically of religion. The Christian work of a practical character it was stated, was well represented in the work of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A.
These organizations were an outgrowth of the modern idea of practical Christianity and they well represented the later expression of religion. A review of the work of the Y. W. C. A. in the army and navy in the late war was commented upon. It was at the Y. M. C. A. tents where indoor recreation, reading, etc., could be obtained. To these tents the soldiers resorted when they wrote their letters home. Classes in the Spanish language were conducted in the tents by the college members of the Y. M. C. A. The social work of these organizations at the University was alluded to, and the speaker appealed to all of the faculty and to the students for their generous support of these worthy organizations.
Professor Sayre also showed wherein it was possible for the Y. M. C. A. to lose its influence by indulging in narrow, possibly selfish schemes, by excluding those who were not "truly pious" etc. He pleaded for greater breadth and liberality. Unless this could be injected into each modern organization, they failed to bring touch with the modern ideas of practical Christian work.
The University Book Store is again well stocked with special K. S. U. stationery. Try some.
THE MARIA TERESA'S CAT.
It Is Now Owned by Gerald Holsinger a
Former Kansas University Student.
The ship's cat of the Maria Teresa, the Spanish cruiser, is now in possession of Ensign Gerald Holsinger of the United States repair ship Vulcan, a former student of Kansas university who is well known in Lawrence, and his relatives in Kansas City, Kan., have written him asking him to give it to the convention hall prize list of Kansas City, Mo.
Ensign Holsinger purchased the cat from a native on Cat island, in the Bahama group, where the ill-fated Spanish cruiser found its last resisting place, and brought it back with him to Norfolk, Va. He told of his relic in a letter to his sister, Mrs, George E. Rose, principal of the Kansas, City, Kan., high school and gave the cat's history. It was the first ship's cat of the Christobal Colon, also of Admiral Cervera's squadron. It remained on the wrecked war ship twenty-nine days after the battle before it was rescued by American sailors. It was in a sorry condition then being almost starved to death. The sailors thought that, as it was a Spanish cat, its pride should be respected, so when the Teresa was floated the cat was installed on board. When the heavy seas opened the plates of the war ship and made it necessary to abandon it off Cat island the cat was forgotten. Its fate was not that it should die then, and it was rescued by a wrecker when the Teresa struck on the coral reef of the island.

PUFFS FROM THE COLLEGE PIPE.
In my room is an old-fashioned, up-
holstered arm chair in which I love to sit,
with my feet thrown upon the table, my
pipe well filled with my favorite brand of
tobacco, book in hand, and smoke, read,
meditate, doze, dream, and while away
the lonesome hours when I've nothing
else to do.
I like to be alone with no other companions than my pipe and book. They are good companions whose influences soothe that worldly feeling and give one a sad, lonesome, sober emotion that calls forth his hidden and inner self which is the divine part of man. And thus I find myself among my favorite surroundings on Thanksgiving vacation when all the rollicking crowd of roomers, who are mostly freshmen, have either gone home to visit the folks, or to Kansas City to watch their idols "eat up" the Missouri Tigers. Yes, they are gone away, a pleasure denied me to whom fortune has been less kind, but while they are enjoying the hospitality of the house fireside, relating the wonderful exploits of their short college career to the never tiring ear of a good father or a loving mother, or impressing their mighty importance upon an awestricken younger brother or sister by stories concerning affairs in which they were always the high moguls, and how they stand in with the Chancellor and Mosse, or while some of them are spend
My pipe is a cob, a Kansas product both by nature and manufactured, manufactured by the Cyclone Cob Pipe Company of Ottawa. It is my secret friend, who never appears with me in society or on the street, but always remains in my room as an enchanting sorcerer to whose balmy fragrance and blithe companionship I always flee for solace after the day's joys or sorrows are ended. But the students don't all smoke cob-pipes. I have noticed that this depends very largely to what strata of society they belong. If they are freshmen and just learning, they usually buy plain five cent cobs, but as they gradually evolve from their rustic habits and become mixers among the "sporty set" and especially if they are "brushed up to" by the Phi Psis or a member of some of the other noted Greek celebrities, their cobs are laid aside and gold mounted briers take their places. Then their first pipes become like their first loves, the old fashioned girls with whom they used to romp and with whom they spent their early youth, whiling away the long summer months in searching the meadows for wild flowers or loitering in the shady wood under some gigantic oak, swinging and love-making, where they smoked their first grape-vine, much to the disgust of their little sweet-hearts.
New surroundings have robbed them of the congeniality of their early friends and in college life their childhood haunts are forgotten and their fancies lured away from their youthful rustic sweethearts by the merry, dizzy whirl of the college two-step.
But, notwithstanding science to the contray, and the admonitors of our lady friends, I am about convinced that it is not wrong to smoke. Right in the face of all the teaching ofcience, that smoking makes a man's days few and full of trouble, my grandfather lived to the mature age of ninety-five and smoked during eighty years of his lifetime; however, this might have been from the fact that he was an
Irishman. Our lady friends tell us its wrong; but do they love us any less? Nay, verily, I think sometimes more. And then when a fellow braces up to a farr damnel with flaxen hair and brown eyes, whose presence almost knocks him speechless, and asks her if he might have the pleasure, etc, and gets the marble heart. Oh what comfort, what unspeakable joy he finds in making a hasty retreat to his private sanctum and
"Lighting his pipe in silence,
Save a sigh that seems to yoke Its fate with the tobacco
It is late with the tobacco And to vanish with the smoke."
He has drowned his troubles instead or drowning himself, how many a life has thus been saved, and the world that only a few short moments before was so forlorn and hopeless, is as bright as a day in June. He takes on new energy, makes new resolutions, and goes forth in all the splendor of his brave young manhood to try it again.
There may be comrades in this world,
a stunner and true as steel.
There are and by their friendships firm Is life made only real. But, after all, of all these hearts That close with mine entwine, None lie so near or seem so dear As this old pipe of mine."
As this old type of pep

Theodore Roosevelt's old playmates still delight to relate to lay "Ted" brought down the house by his method of rendering that old stand by "Marco Bozzias,"— "At midnight in his guarded tent,
The Turk lay dreaming of the hour When Greece, her knees in supplance bent, Should tremble at his power."
He rose with confidence and began—"At midnight, in his guarded tent,
The Turk lay dreaming of the hour When Greece her knee—"
Then his memory failed him and he rename
"Greece, her knee—"
Once more he shouted desperately "Greece, her knee—"
The old professor looked over his spectacles and encouragingly remarked:
"Greece her knees once more Theodore; perhaps she'll go then."
Professor Miller was recently asked in one of his Freshmen Classes to draw a line to infinity.
During the first week of school, two Freshmen were talking. The brightest, a manly lad of 19, or thereabouts, said: "Say Willie, I'm afraid we won't like the teacher. I hear she's awful cross."
Willie—It isn't a she. His name is **Jw**
**Dyche**. Didn't you ever hear tell of him?*
White- I ever say, "How dare Dyche. Didn't you ever hear tell of him?" Professor Blake has a new story. It is as follows: 'A loving father who sent his boy to the University,' was greatly surprised and terrified when two weeks later his son was brought home with a great gash in his head. Later it developed that the boy had been in a fight.
The father wrote the following letter to the college president:
"Dear sir--My boy came home with a hole in his head. I wish you would look into it. I sent him there to learn brains, not to have them knocked out."

letter from his friend, Prof. Edward S
Morse, and found the handwriting illegi
ble. In due time there came to Mr. Morse
the following reply:
"My Dear Morse—It was very pleasant to receive a letter from you the other day. Perhaps I should have found it pleasanter if I had been able to decipher it. I don't think I mastered anything beyond the date, which I knew, and the signature, at which I guessed. There is a singular and perpetual charm in a letter of yours; it never grows old, and it never loses its novelty. One can say every morning as one looks at it: 'Here's a letter of Morse's I haven't read yet.' I think I shall take another shy at it today, and maybe I shall be able in the course of a few years to make out what he means by those "it's" that look like "w's" and those "is" that haven’t any eyebrows. Other letters are read and thrown away and forgotten; but yours are kept forever—unread. One of them will last a reasonable man a lifetime."

SANITATION.
ABLY DISCUSSED BY VISITORS AND UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS.
The Pressing Need for Sanitary Measures in Cities Has Demanded Much Attention—The Meetings Enthusiastic and Well Attended.
The opening session of the first sanitary convention ever held in Kansas, was held at the Plymouth Congregational church last evening. Owing to the other attractions in town, and the extremely cold weather, the crowd was extremely slow in gathering, and there were not as many people present at any time, as the promoters of the gathering would liked to have seen
The convention was called to order by Dr. E. M. Hoover, president of the state board of health, who called on Mr. Banker to invoke a blessing, and then introduced Hon. J. D. Bowersock, who made a brief address of welcome. Dr. Hoover then followed with a brief address, introducing Prof. J. B. Johnson, of the chair of civil engineering of Washington university at St. Louis.
Dr. Johnson spoke for over an hour, in a very entertaining manner, on the subject "What Sanitary Science Has Done for American Life." He said that the science had developed within the last twenty-five years and traced its growth in this country and in the older countries of the old world. He devoted much attention to detail in explaining how a perfect sanitary system would do away with all infectious and contagious diseases, and bring the world to a condition of normal health. He showed how the condition of cities had been improved by modern sanitation, and how the death rate had been decreased:
The paper was an exceedingly interesting one, and gave an exhaustive treatment of the subject in hand. It was followed by a brief discussion, in which many of the points made were more fully discussed by Dr. Johnson.
Prof. Bailey was the first speaker on the program at the convention session this morning in Snow hall. His talk on "Some Water Supplies" was very interesting and instructive. He spoke of the sources of water in Kansas as not being as good as in some eastern states on account of difference in soil. Thirty-one cities in Kansas derive their water supply from wells, nineteen from rivers, six from artesian wells, and five from rivers and wells combined. The latter, which is Lawrence's method is probably the safest and gives the best results.
Professor Bartow of Lawrence discussed the benefits derived from water analysis. He spoke particularly of the danger of detective sewerage and advised an appropriation to assist in carrying on investigations of water supplies.
The subject of "Disinfection and Dis infectants" was ably covered by Prof. Lovewell of Topeka. He discussed the importance of disinfection and the disinfectants which have been found to give best results.
"State Supervision of Water Supplies and Sewerage," by Professor Marvin came next. He discussed the benefits of better water supplies and the effect of improved water supplies on the death rate, particularly of typhoid fever.
The subject treated by Prof. Miller of Manhattan was "The College Sewerage at Agricultural College and the Water Supply of Manhattan." He gave some interesting experiments in sewerage contamination.
W. H. Barnes, city engineer of Topeka, gave some very interesting figures on sewerage, water supply, paving, etc., in that city. He recommended having a public plumbing inspector with county and state authority.
The convention delegates were entertained at lunch at library hall this noon, by the local committee, and the afternoon session reconvened at 2 o'clock, when the program as arranged was taken up.

Those Expensive Beans.
In one of the western counties of Kansas there is a railroad hotel which offers meals on the European plan at the lunch counter and on the American plan at 75 cents a meal in the dining room. The proprietor, Mr. Gale, is a good natured soul with a fat, boyish face and an infectionally hearty laugh. On account of his invariable good humor he is the object
Recently Mr. A. —, a western traveling man, took dinner in the dining room of this hotel, ordering nothing except baked beans. When he went to settle the bill, the proprietor charged him 75 cents, the regular price for dinner on the American plan. Mr. A. — protested.
"Why," said he, "those beans wouldn't have cost me more than 10 cents at the lunch counter."
"Yes, but you see, my dear fellow," replied Mr Gale, slapping him on the shoulder, "you're naying for the style, too; you must look out which place you go when you don't want anything more than beans. Seventy-five cents it is!"
Mr A—paid the bill, resolving to protest later on in a manner more effective. When he went west he stopped at the first station where the agent was known to him and sent to Mr. Gale an unpaid telegram as follows:
It was useless for Mr. Gale to retaliate not knowing where to direct his reply; so he received the message with a good naked laugh.
"I think you charged me too much for those beans."
"I still think you charged me too much for those beans."
in an hour or two Mr. A—sent another telegram unpaid, as follows:
"This intelligence was received with the same imperturable good nature as the preceding one had been, but when a little later another message "to be collected on delivery" was handed to him he began to wish"that fellow understood a little better the eternal fitness of things."
This message was the last and read as follows:
"Now, dont you think you charged me to much for those beans?"
Girigan1 Philosphy.
Tom was a tall, goodlooking young man with the broad high forehead that indicates intellectual power, and the massive chin and firm mouth which denote energetic will. He had just come home from college and was full of notions for the improvement of mankind and benevolent zeal for the enlightenment of the clouded intellects of his friends. The case of ignorance which he regarded as most hopeless was that of a dainty, young girl of eighteen, with a pretty, sweet face and charming manners.
Tom liked her. She always looked so pretty and stylish and had such a pleasant voice.
"But," said Tom one day when he was telling his sister, about her. "Alice is so densely ignorant, that is, comparing her with the college girls now a-days. Her education is so ornamental. Why I don't believe she ever saw even the outside of a psychology, ever heard of a neminalist, or a realist, or has the faintest idea of a general notion."
Tom liked the idea, so on the next Sunday evening when he was calling on Alice, he broached the subject. Sitting in an easy chair he leaned his head back and closed his eyes to give a masterful air to his theories.
"Well, I could scarcely, tell you in one evening," said Tom diplomatically. "Just recently I have been studying about the—I don't know that I can make my language simple enough so that you will understand, since you are not familiar with the scientific terms—but there is one school of philosophers who believe that we don't exist in substance, that, for instance, you are merely an idea and that—well, that there is no matter These philosophers are called—Oh! Oh! Alice, what do you mean by sticking hat pins into a fellow like that?" said Tom scripping from his chair.
"Can't you awaken her to the sense of her ignorance?" said his sister with a wise little smile.
"No, Tom," she replied, "I never read any book unless it is in conversational style. What is philosophy about?"
"Alice," said he, "have you ever read any kind of philosophy?"
"Why Tom," said Alice, her innocent eyes wide open with surprise. "You said we are ideas and ideas can't feel, can they? I beg your pardon if—" But Tom had seized his hat and fleed.
"Mother," called Alice a few minutes later, at the foot of the stairs, "Where is the pie? These college boys make me so hungry."

BASKET BALL
A GREAT DEAL OF INTEREST MANI-
FESTED IN THE GAME.
A Series of Eight Games Has Already
A Series of Eight Games Has Already Been Arranged-The Advantages Which Basket Ball Possessss Over Other Athletic Games.
Now that the football season is over, the giants of the gridiron, disbanded, the pigskin punted over its last goal, the enthusiasts of all athletic contests at K. U., have turned their attention to other sports The great question is: What shall take the place of football?
It is soon answered, for the place has already been seized, and a new game has sprung into popularity. It is the game of basket ball.
Every one who is at all interested in athletics is now talking basket ball. Yet it does not stop here. Those who hitherto have manifested no interest in any sports of skill and strength seem now to be enthusiastic over the new game. It is talked at the club; it is discussed in the corridors; it is practiced and played in the gymnasium and on the campus. Even the professors have become actively interested in the game and are giving their time of recreation over to this pastime.
Vol. VII. No. 13
At present it appears that the basket ball mania would carry all before it. It's increasing popularity as evidenced by the number of teams so far organized, the many supporters of each team and the extensive preparations being made for coming contests between them.
So far eight teams have been created and a schedule of games has been arranged. They will play in a series of tournaments and battle for championship honors
These tournaments will decide who shall have the right to represent K. U. in games with other institutions.
Letters have been received from various colleges throughout the state expressing their willingness to play for college honors and proposing that a basket-ball league be formed.
It is yet to early to tell what the outcome of these negotiations will be. It is sufficient to say that when K. U. does play in a collegiate league she will be amply prepared to uphold the reputation in basketball that she has $ _{s}^{*} $ gained on the football field.
As we have the originator of this absobbing game with us, a brief history of it will be of interest to all connected with the University.
Basket ball was invented by Dr. Naismith in '93 while he was teaching in the Training school at Springfield, Mass The regular routine gymnasium work became so monotonous that Dr. Naismith was asked to propose a game which should keep up the interest and give the best physical exercise. Seven qualifications were given which should belong to an ideal game.
1. It should be such as could be played on any kind of ground.
2. it should be such as could be played by a large number of men at once,
2. It should be desired to play by a large number of men at once.
3. It should exercise a man all around
4. It should be so attractive that men would desire to play it for its own sake
5. It should have little or none of the reputed roughness of Rugby or Association football.
6. It should be easy to learn.
7. It should be scientific enough to be interesting to old players.
All the other games tried, failed to meet the requirements with the result that a new one was introduced.
The game was no sooner given to the public than its popularity throughout the east was assured.
It is an amateur sport and Spalding's
Official Guide for '99 gives several new
It was first played only by the Y. M. C. A. clubs, who endeavored to control it; but the game came into general use so rapidly that they soon found themselves unable to do so. Teams were formed among the Soldiers, Colleges, Athletic Clubs, and even Business men. Yale, Princeton, Entre Nous and Pennsylvania have strong teams.
rules adopted for the purpose of ruling out professionalism.
The Twenty-third Street Branch, Y. M. C. A., claims the championship of '98. They played twenty-nine match games during the season winning every game.
Dr. Naismith when questioned in regard to basket ball and athletics, said: "There are four ends to be gained in athletics-Health, recreation, skill and bodily control of physical development. Some forms of physical development accomplish one end and some another. For example club swinging and dumb bell exercises are some of the best forms for health alone.
When recreation is wanted there must be some interest in the event itself to call the mind from business.
Such exercise as wrestling, light and heavy weight pulling, etc. are the best forms for muscular development. When skill is the aim, then whatever is chosen must be practiced until the re flex centres of the brain carry on the work without the necessity of thinking out each step This skill is largely a cultivation of the brain and other nerve centers.
Health is acquired while you are interested in the sport.
Basket ball secures four of these aims in their due proportion.
Skill comes without being sought, while muscular development is an all around character.
Not building up a large biceps for the owner's pride, but forming a good, substantial working muscle where ever one is found.
Outside of these there is a mental and emotional cultivation to be obtained inasmuch as the man who can plan and work out new schemes has a decided advantage, while all tendency to talk back to the umpire is restrained.
Thus a loss of one's temper may mean he loss of the game, for every foul no matter how made, gives the opponents ree chance to make a goal.
NO CHOICE.
The Regents Were Unable to Decide on
W.B. Brownell's Successor.
The Kansas university board of regents has been in session since yesterday. Most of the time of the session up to this morning was devoted to the attempt to select a successor to W.B. Brownell as instructor in the law school, the latter having resigned to take up the duties of county attorney, to which he was elected in November.
There were a number of candidates for the place, but the members of the board could not agree on a man, in fact they seemed to be hopelessly divided on political lines, and the selection could not be made. It was finally agreed to leave the selection to Dean Green, of the law school, and Chancellor Snow, for the rest of the academic year, when another attempt will be made to select a man.
The board has heard the reports of the professors and instructors in all the departments, and the recommendations of the heads of departments.
The discussion of the request to be made of the coming legislature has consumed a large amount of the time of the board at the present meeting. Chancellor Snow has reported to the board in favor of asking the legislature for a new biological building, and with that end in view, suggests the use of Snow hall for the chemistry department. This will make only one building asked for from the legislature, otherwise a chemistry building and an addition to Snow hall will be needed.
Y. M. C. A. Honorary Membership.
Honorary membership in this association signifies interest in and sympathy with its work; and is conferred upon such members of the faculty as have expressed especial desire to help the association in its efforts.
Chancellor Snow and Professors Dunlap, Sayre, Wilcox, Marvin, Olin, Templin and Miller have been voted into this membership during the last week. Others will probably be voted in next week.
Nominations for this membership are made before the cabinet election by the unanimous vote of the members present

LAWRENCE, KAN., DEC. 10, 1898
The WEEKLY now has a dictator.
It was observed that the petition requesting the council to make the Christmas vacation our week earlier than it had been previously agreed upon, was signed more generally by Freshmen than by any of the other classes.
The Regents were unable to decide upon a successor for Prof. W. B. Brownell, and Dean Green and Chancellor Snow were commissioned to choose an instructor for the rest of the year. There were a number of applicants for the place, 11 of whom had graduated from the University School of Law.
It has been generally reported that the faculty is trying to kill football in the University. Such is not the case. The professors are persistent in their determination to root out professionalism in athletics, and the stringent rules which they have had down to secure that end, make them appear opposed to athletics sports.
At a recent meeting of the State Board of trustees of Baker University it was found, as the result of a canvass, that enough money had been n' raised to pay off the interest bearing debt, which has been hanging over the school. The only remaining debt is a non-interest bearing one of $379 and 1 an active canvass is being made to raise that amount. We congratulate Baker on her good fortune.
Very few people in the state realize the amount of material stored away in the Kansas University Museum at Lawrence, some of which has attracted attention both at home and abroad. In paleontology, the collection of Cretaceous vertebrates is only excelled in number in one institution (Yale University) in the United States, and in excellence of individual specimens, it is unexcelled. The collection of fossil leaves from the Dakota sandstone of the central part of the State is very complete, there being no better outside of the national museum at Washington. The collection of carboniferous plants is also very complete and has attracted some attention, although no original work has been done on them up to the present time. In zoology and entomology is the collection of North American mammals, mounted by Prof. Dyche, having been awarded the medal at the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1893. The collection of beetles is the best in any educational institution in this country, and the collection of butterflies is very excellent. At the present time the exhibit rooms in Snow hall are full to overflow, many of the best zoological specimens being stored away on this account — Topeka mail and Breeze.
Announcement.
The department of English announces that all themes and forensics must, after being returned to the writers, be again deposited with the department, to constitute part of the peramant records. Papers are to be returned to the English office within two weeks after the date announced for handling them back to the students after criticism, and no credits will be enured until the papers have been so deposited at the department.
SOCIETY.
Lawrence and the University has been gayer the past two weeks than at any time since the opening of school. The putting the vacation forward a week has rather added to this, since the gaities planned for three weeks were necessarily crowded into two. Friday and Saturday nights have of course been the most popular dates for entertainments, and for the past two weeks the three available halls in town have all been occupied on those nights.
The Woman's League "afteroon" Saturday was given at the home of Mrs. Olin on account of the illness of Mrs. Robinson. The entertainment was in the nature of a musical, the various numbers of which were given the members of the Music School. The affair was a success, as these afternoons always are, and brought together in a most delightful way the young women of the University.
The reception given Thursday afternoon by Mrs. Spaulding and Miss Spaulding at their home on Tennessee street, was a very pleasant affair. Two hundred invitations were issued, and the music fuilthed by Saunders was very delightful. Mrs. Havens of Leavenworth was one of the receiving party. Misses Bertha Miller, Elizabeth O'Keefe, Lulu Cross and Minnie Leach served in the dining room which was elaborately decorated. A number of University students were present
The Freshmen gave their first class party Friday night in Journal Hall. A short program of readings and music was given by members of the class during the first part of the evening, after which dancing, cards and various other games furnished amusement. Light refreshments were served and the whole evening was a most enjoyable one in every way.
The Charity Ball Friday night was a devoured success. The list of patronesses included the very smartest of Lawrence society women and under their auspices it could not have been other than the success it was. A very large crowd of society people including many of the University set, danced to the music of Buch's Orchestra.
The Kappas had an initiation Thursday night at the home of Miss Edith House on South Massachusetts street. The young women admitted to the fraternity were Misses Luci Cross, Jane Harmon, Beth Hudson and Bertha Miller.
Immediately after the holidays the series of fraternity spring parties will begin, although these can hardly be called spring parties any more since they are given in the middle of the winter instead of after Lent as was the custom a few years ago.
Miss Elma Van Fleet entertained at whist Saturday evening for a few friends at her home on Vermont street. Her guests were Misses Cubine, Bowen, Slocum, Connelly and Cochran; Messrs Rose, Buzzl, Baker and Thatcher.
Mr. George Robinson has accepted a position in the University book store left vacant by John Nicholson. Mr. Irving Hill will take Mr. Robinson's place in the Bowersock mill.
Invitations have been issued by Misses Mame Tisdale and Fannie Barker for a dancing party, to be given next Monday evening at Miss Tisdale's home on Tennessee street.
Miss Grace Barnes, who has been the guest of her sister, Mrs John Lofty, returned today to her home in Lyndon.
Mr. John Nicholson came down from Töpka Wednesday to remain a short time with Lawrence friends.
Misses Maume Tiadale and Frances Barker will give a dancing party Monday night at Miss Tiadale's home on Tennessee street.
The Sigma Chis are wearing colors for Mr, E. Tucker of Cawker City.
Mr. Cecil Haggart, C. E. '98, was in town Wednesday visiting friends. Mr., Haggart has a position in Parsons.Kansas, at present.
The Junior and Freshman girls have united their voices this week in the walk "Why don't the boys ask us to go to the class party."
J. Moncrief of Winfield, spent a few days the fore part of the week, visiting W. L. Cooper.
The Pi Phis had a cookey-shine Satur day night at the home of Miss Gertrude Boughton.
The Kappas are planning to hold an initiation tonight.
Miss Muir of Salina has left school not to return until next term.
Mr. Harry Sinclair went to Hutchinson Tuesday to remain a few days.
The Beta turkey pulling has been indefinitely postponed.
Mr. John Nicholson came up from Tooneka last night to spend a few days here.
Miss Bertha Case has returned from a visit in Topeka.
The students of the Elocutionary department will give an entertainment next
Thursday evening. The program will consist of dramatic scenes, declamations, original addresses and a debate. Everybody is cordially invited.
Mr. Fred A. Cahill and Miss Louise Ripley of Chicago were married November 23d by Dr. Dr. Thomas
Miss Mabel Sayre is planning to give a house party in a few days for some of her Wells College friends. Misses Rosalie Perdue of Kentucky and Katharine Dunn of Kansas City will be among the guests.

Mr. Fred Herver of Kaaas, City, spent Sunday with University friends.
At the last meeting of the Biological club Tuesday, December 6, Professor Dyche gave an illustrated lecture on the Life and Conditions in the North Atlantic Regions.
BIOLOGICAL CLUB.
The meeting of the Biological Clu Tuesday afternoon was an especially interesting one. Professor Dyche gave a lecture describing his trips to Greenland, illustrating it by lantern. It was presented as an introduction to the series of lectures which he is to give before the club concerning the conditions of life that exists in the Arctic regions. The announcements posted throughout Snow Hall brought forth a large crowd and by 4 o'clock there was scarcely a vacant chair in the lecture room.
Professor Dyche first presented the map of Greenland showing the regios about the North Pole.
He pointed out the routes of the various Arctic adventurers, and the regions each had explored. A comparison was made between the north and south poles. The former was shown to be almost land locked, while the latter is surrounded by great expanses of water with no large bodies of land within many hundreds of miles.
He described Greenland as a snow-covered continent buried beneath a sheet of ice and snow from 2 to 10,000 feet in thickness. The western coast is rugged with many high barren rocks and promontories, the eastern side is blockaded by vast fields of ice. Much of the eastern shore remains unexplored. Nansen tried for months before he was able to obtain a landing. It is difficult and dangerous for a steamer to approach within less than thirty or forty miles of the mainland from this side.
Professor Dyche gave an interesting and humorous account of one of his trips to Greenland with about thirty other college professors and fifteen students. They had three captains, who proved to be two too many. The captain in charge steadily refused to take the advice of his fellow officers and ignored the petition of the students and faculty sent to him. The captain finally lost the ship and they all came back on a little fishing schooner, with ninety-two persons huddled up in space enough for one-third that number.
He pointed out the routes followed in his various trips north and gave a very interesting account of the col fisheries along the coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador.
His detailed description of the method of fishing and curing the fish followed by the Gloucester fishermen brought Kipling's "Captain Courageous" vividly to mind. One who has reat that delightful story of the hardy seamen of Gloucester and had seen Professor Dychke's photographs and heard his accounts of them, could easily imagine that author and explorer had both seen the same heroic fishermen.
Prof Dyche's account of the manner in which cod liver oil is obtained, is not cal-

Digby Bell in "The Hoosier Doctor," is the next attraction at the Bowersock Opera House, Monday, December the 12th Mr. Bell and his versatile and accomplished wife, Laura Jovece Bell, are always well received whether they present an old favorite or a new production. "The Hoosier Doctor" is by Augustus Thomas, and he has succeeded in making it one of the most enjoyable domestic dramas. The play abounds in bright and witty lines, the situations are funny, and above all natural while the pathos and characteristics of human nature which run through the piece, proclaim the deep study Mr. Thomas has made of that side of the life of the world. The characters are drawn from the great middle class. Digby Bell has the part of Dr. Willow, the good-hearted, improvident, charitable Hoosier doc or. The story shows the doctor when his middle-aged, a widower with three grown-up daughters and a mother-in-law. He studies medicine, takes his degree and weds a charming widow, which latter fact he keeps secret for fear of his mother-in-law, and which some of his neighbors misunderstand, he is disciplined according to the "White Cap" code. The story reads like a chapter from real life and appeals to the heart. Mr. and Mrs. Bell are supported by an excellent company Prices 250, 503, 750 and $4.

AMUSEMENTS.
Even in books these strange lands of the far north, buried in snow and ice, have a strange attraction, yet the accounts of it when heard from the life of one who has braved its perils, endured its hardships, traversed its broad ice fields, and explored among its unknown tracts are fascinating and thrilling.
The lecture closed promptly at 5 o'clock with a great many regrets from the audience that the time had passed so quickly.
It is like listening to one relating the adventures on another planet. Scientific discoveries told in such a way do not appear as facts gained for the advancement of scientific learning, but simply as interesting details of a marvelous story.

Professor Carruth gave the second number on the Unity Club lecture course last week. His subject was "Kansas Poetry and Poets," and it was treated in his characteristically delightful manner.

The interest in basket ball is on the increase. There are now one Faculty and four Class teams. Last Wednesday a meeting was held for the purpose of arranging a schedule for games and an effort will be made to secure the rink as the gymnasium is too small and grounds outside are not well arranged for a series of match games.
The party given by the Juniors Friday night in Frazier Hall was one of the most successful entertainments ever given by this enterprising class. The amusement for the first part of the evening consisted of a guessing game of Buried Cities, for which was provided dainty cards tied with the class colors, green and white. These were retained as souvenirs. At 10 o'clock music by Saunders' Orchestra began and the crowd fell in for the grand march which opened the dancing program. Crokonole and other games were provided for those who did not dance. Light refreshments were served throughout the evening. Altogether the party was a very successful one, and spoke well for the skill of the Juniors at entertaining, which skill will probably next be tested at the Junior Prom to which the expectant Seniors are looking forward with great hopes

Economic Seminary
In the senary for December 5, Prof. Blackman gave a brief summary by subjets of the nineteenth bulletin of the department of Labor. Miss Goodnight continued the report on the Workers, a serial running in Scribners giving the experience of a young man among the tradesmen, this time his experience in a machine shop. Attention was called here to some of the methods of union labor and piece work which combine to prevent increased efficiency of workmen.
F. F. Wemple reported briefly on the railroads, mentioning the rise of the Pittsburgh & Gulf, and Alton stocks, and the purchase by the Santa Fe of terminal facilities on the water front in San Francisco. Brief mention was also made to the recommendation of General Longs缝 that the government build a double track road from Kansas City to San Diego, Cal., for accommodation of future Hawaiian and Philippine commerce. This subject brought up the importance of the Niceraguan canal which was discussed to a short extent.
Other subjects mentioned were the "raffling of souls" in some parts of Mexico and George's Junior Republic in New York state, both reported by M. F. Daum. This latter is an attempt to furnish homes and occupation for wafts of the city. The boys are brought to the institution which has a self government patterned after the United States government, and which boys administer themselves Here they are educated and kept usefully employed, being paid in coin of the Junior Republic for all their work, even school employment, and are expected to pay in return for their accommodations there. The institution is claimed to be having a very wholesome effect on the wafts taken at it.

A professor once ordered a bottle of hock, saying: "Here, waiter, bring me a bottle of hock, hic, haec, hoc." The waiter, a college man, never stirred. "What are you waiting for?" inquired the professor; "didn't I order a bottle of hock?" "Yes, sir," replied the waiter. "you ordered it, but you afterwards declined it."—Ex.

Elocutionary.
There seems to be quite an interest manifested in oratory this year Professor Vickery is trying a new plan, which being systematic, bids fair to bring good results. Instead of having two or three large classes as heretofore, Professor Vickery has divided the excursionary students into sixteen sections of from eight to ten members each, and fifty sections of from three to five each. The former meet once a week and the latter from two to five times. Each section keeps a roll book and record of its proceedings and the result is that each member be on the program at every meeting and that he take a different part each time. By this means no one is omitted and every variety of talent is cultivated.
There is also a class of about sixty in the Law school which is doing excellent work under the immediate direction of Professor Vickery who has besides from fifteen to twenty private students. The work done in this department consists of dramatic readings, declamations, origina orations, speaking extempore and debates
if the interest, which is now manifested,
continues we may hope ere long to have
as large a a quota of "silver tongued"
orators as any institution in the state.
About the Goal 'Kick.
Try our Velvet Skin Lotion, for sale only at City Drug store.
It is the general opinion among critics and friends of football, that but few changes will be made in the rules governing football. One change, however, in regard to the goal from a touchdown has been proposed. Last year the productivity of such a goal kick was cut in two, and this year it is urged that it be entirely abolished. It is said that Professor Stagg of the University of Chicago is in favor of its abolishment. Coach Huff of the University of Illinois looks with disfavor upon it and the same is true of Coach Barnard of Northwestern and Coach King of Wisconsin.
The objection to the goal kick is that it often gives an inferior team the advantage. It is argued that such a goal gives no evidence of the ability of a team to score and roll up points, and that the poorest man on a team might be the best goal kicker. The man who kicks such a goal, and has all the time he needs, and the points thus gained show nothing of the ability of the team A decidedly weaker team might score on a fluke, and kick a goal, perhaps tying the score or even defeating a superior team.

Student Vacation Work.
Plans are now being made by the Y. M. C. A, for the conducting of religious work by students during the coming vacation. This work has been carried on for the past two years during the Christmas holidays by college students under direction of the state committee. last year twenty students from six colleges organized in bands of four or five and held meetings lasting eight days at six places.
A large number of students is expected to engage in the work this year as this branch of Y. M, C. A. work seems to be growing in interest and favor. Several requests for bands have already been made by, padlors.
It is customary to send five in each band one as a leader who is accustomed to public speaking, one to lead the singing, three others to assist in initiation work, singing, personal work, speaking etc.
Any young man in this University desiring to know more of this work or to gain in it should inquire this week of one of the Y. M. C. A. cabinet,
