SEASON OF 1900.
Brief Resume of the Past Foot Ball Season.
K. U. played nine games Of these we won two, tied two,and lost five. We shut out Ottawa and South Dakota,and in time were shut out by Washburn, Emporia, and Nebraska. K.U.scored 77 points and our opponents scored 117.
The above record is not calculated to make any one hilarious. In fact it might even make one pessimistic. Our team has not been successful. There is no need of hiding the fact. All we can do is to point out the mistakes and guard against them next year.
In the first place the schedule of games was not as good as it should have been. We are not knocking on Mr.Davis as a manager.In fact we feel like complimenting him for ever taking up the work But we do knock on the man who was elected manager,refused to answer letters about games and then resigned, leaving everything at a standstill.The athletic board should use every care to get some one for manager who will stay with the business from start to finish.
That the stand against professionalism was a mistake, we do not believe. The players this year were close to the average in weight, and there was the usual number of experienced men. There was absolutely no need of hiring material. Individually, the men were every bit the equals of the players in last years' "ever victorious" team. When such a team can be selected from the student body we do not need to offer inducements for professional. It is not only undesirable, but it is not even a sensible business proposition.
Something, however, was decidedly wrong, and we believe the secret of the whole thing was in the coaching. Everyone remembers how loud the complaints were about poor material at the beginning of last year's season. Yet Yost took those men and they never lost a game. Coach and men were a unit until the close of the season. It was not so this year. Coach Boynton is perhaps a capable man, but the fact remains he did not win the teams' confidence and as a result the team work was the poorest ever seen at K. U
But we do not want to complain or roast. We are proud of the boys who played this year. They stayed with the team when everything went wrong. They deserve and have our gratitude.
Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
Students who stayed in town over Thanksgiving were entertained Thursday evening at "the house."
President Tangeman presided at several sessions of the state convention at Wichita last week.
Perry Hanson has gone for a two weeks' vacation on the Pacific coast. He will attend the state Y. M. C.A.conventions of Oregon and Washington.
Fellows who are going to be here through vacation want to remember that "the house" is always open and University men are always welcome. If you think there's nothing going on come down to "the house" and you'll find out different.

TURKEYS VS. BETAS.
Turkeys Score Comedown Against Betas. Fine Work by Beta Tackles and Turkey Guards.
[ SPECIAL CONTRIBUTION. ]
After suffering defeat at the hands of the Beta team for many years, the Turkey team, under the able coaching of Farmer Reece, won Tuesday night's game, with a comedown in the last minutes play.
The game was played on the home grounds of the Turkeys. It was an ideal night and the pens adjoining the grounds were packed with an enthusiastic crowd of rooters.
When the Beta team appeared on the Reece field they found the Turkeys assembled in defense of their goal, and the game began at once. The Betas kicked off, sending Beta No.1, ten yards into the Turkey territory. In the first scrimmage the Turkeys presented a stone wall front, in which their opponents failed to find a hole. Soon however, the Beta field general grasped the key to the situation, opened a hole in the Turkey line and the full Beta went through and tackled the Turkey quarter. This was declared a foul tackle and the Turkeys given five yards.
With splendid team work which would have done credit to a darktown minstrel troup, the Betas crept nearer and nearer to the Turkey goal. In vain the famous gobble! gobble! yell of the Turkeys was echoed by their supporters in pens and on roosts; visions of pulling turkeys and turkey pullings floated before the eyes of the ever hungry Betas and they pressed steadily onward. At this point, however, the game was delayed; the mother Turkey was laying out.
In the first scrimmage after play was resumed the full Beta used the fraternity grip, and as a result two Turkeys refused to play. No substitutes were available and despite the protests of the Betas, Coach Reece immediately entered the game.
From the moment of his entrance the aspect of affairs changed, and the Turkeys plucked up courage. Coach Reece's familiarity with the Beta's style of play proved a tremendous advantage His interference was perfect, in fact it was double-barreled, and it was soon evident that a comedown was in store for the Betas. Despairing of victory they threw up the game and hastened from the field, leaving their captain to talk over the matter with Coach Reece. The argument soon became so warm that the Beta captain showed his decided preference of coolers, by jumping into the Waukarusa.
In the mean time the Beta team had returned in search of their captain and were forced into the game again by Coach Reece, who had secured the proper officials in order that any further dispute might be avoided.
A couple of double-barrel plays by Coach Reece and it was all over with the Betas, the Turkeys scoring, which will no doubt put an end to the annual Beta and Turkey game. W.B.H.
STATE Y. M. C. A, CONVENTION.
An Enthusiastic Meeting at Wichita-K. U. Well Represented.
The convention at Wichita, Nov. 22-25, was one of unusual strength. The attendance of 260 delegates was swelled by hundreds of residents and as many as a thousand people were present at some of the sessions.
The K. U. delegation was decidedly prominent, though not so large as some of those coming from near Wichita. We had more men than any other association in this section of the state. Tangeman was presiding officer during the first day; was chairman of resolutions committee, read a paper at one of the sessions and spoke Sunday in the First Congregational Church. Hanson had charge of the college end of the convention; our quartette, the Jay

Hawkers, furnished the music and won the admiration of all who were in attendance.
Among the leading speakers of the convention were Dr. Sneed of St. Louis, C. C. Michener, McDill and of the International committee, Bruno Hobbs and Engineer McClure. A spirit of earnestness and devotion pervaded the whole gathering; the mens' meeting Sunday when Engineer McClure told the story of his life was one of the most remarkable gatherings ever held in Wichita; almost every one of the 800 men present was deeply affected and a large number began that hour to live for Christ.
The reports from the various associations indicated a successful year of work, and prospects are excellent. A large state force will be employed next year and several new points are ready for organizations.
Algie Captain.
Thanksgiving night the foot ball team met at the Coates house and elected a captain for next year. Fifteen votes were cast, and of these Algie received ten. The choice was something of a surprise as most people supposed Tucker would be elected. Tucker's place in foot ball history, however, is secure enough and even being captain could scarcely make him better known.
Algie played substitute end and tackle on last years' team. He played against Nebraska, but especially distinguished himself in the Kansas Missouri game. His work there stamped him as one of the best men ever at K.U. This year Algie has taken care of left end in a very satisfactory manner. He is nervy and can always be depended on at critical moments. He plays well in a losing game and all the fall he has been exceedingly faithful to the team. It was these qualities that prompted the boys to elect him captain, and we predict that after next year the opinion will still be that no mistake was made in the choice.
Reception to Foot Ball Team.
Wednesday evening the Merchants' Athletic club house was open to the foot ball boys and their friends. This reception has become an annual feature, and it is eagerly awaited by the team. Bowling, billiards, and pool were the pastimes until 9:30, when the banquet room was opened. After a splendid spread had been disposed of, the cigars, which are always furnished by Congressman Bowersock, were passed and the speechmaking began. Higgins eulogized the scrubs under the name of the "Mules of the Gridiron," Burdick kept the crowd roaring with his well-told stories and Judge Osborne was very entertaining. Finch represented the press, Tucker spoke for the team, and Dean Green gave reasons for our defeats this year. Sam Bishop departed from the ordinary and plead with the legislature for a good appropriation this winter. Every one showed perfect confidence in the team of '00 and congratulated them for playing as well as they did under the difficulties they had to meet.

Three foot ball teams are claiming the western championship. The tie game between Northwestern and Iowa only left rival claims, and in addition Minnesota has a championship record. It is really too bad Wisconsin, Chicago and Michigan can't advance a few claims.

Washburn has announced itself the champion of Kansas foot ball teams. Its claims are based on a system of comparative mathematics and Haskell's refusal to play a third game. K. U. is not greatly interested in the matter, to be sure, but if we had any money it would go up on those Indians.

Governor Stanley did a wise thing when he wrote to the University for information so that he might recommend suitable appropriations by the coming legislature. This will do away with the lobby that K. U. has hitherto been forced to maintain during the legislative session. The new method will be as effectual and save considerable expense and inconvenience.
PRESENTATION.
Bust of Miss Alcott Formally Presented to the University.
A large audience was present in chapel yesterday to see the bust of Miss Alcott unveiled. Prof. Carruth introduced Mr. A. Whitman, who told how Mr. Sanborn and Mr. Elwell became interested in the University. Mr. Sandborn, the life-long friend of both Miss Alcott and Mr. Whitman, visited here last spring, and as a token of his pleasure, he asked Mr. Elwell to present the bust to the University of Kansas. Mr. Whitmen delighted all by reading one of the Alcott letters.
Mr. Sandborn could not be present in person so he sent a letter for the occasion, which was read by Miss Watson. The presentation speech was made by the sculptor, Mr. Elwell himself. He referred touchingly to the life of Miss Alcott, whose ideals have so much influenced his life. Prof. Hopkins, in behalf of the University, thanked the artist for his gift.
ENGINEERING DEPARTM'T

Hans Hanson at the Opera House Dec. 8th.
Our theatre goers are preparing for the jolliest night of the season, for "Hans Hanson" is to be presented at the Opera house, Saturday, Dec. 8th. 'Hans Hanson' is an American comedy drama. The principle character represents a young Swede lately arrived in America—a bighearted, whole souled, honest fellow, always ready to assist the depressed. The fun lies in his endeavor to speak the English language and the various comical situations that arise during the action of the play. At times the audience is held spellbound by the tender pathos that pervades the piece, and the next moment convulsed with laughter. Jas. T. McAlpin, who has
been seen as "Ole Olson" through this country, has found in "Hans Hanson" an ideal Swedish play, giving him all possible opportunities for the display of his peculiar talent, both as a comedian singer and warbler. His supporting company, seventeen strong, is made up of the best talent in the dramatic and vaudeville lines with solo band and orchestre.
There is some dissension in the House of Representatives over the ratio of republicans and democratic members.

Atchison Coal Vein.
The discovery of coal at Atchison has been causing considerable interest, and as usual K. U. men figure prominently in the affair. Incidentally, the people who are always saying that a college education is
not practicable may take a few pointers.
For several years A. E. Langworthy has been spending odd hours studying the geological structure of the country around Atchison. He looked over the field and thumbed geological reports until he decided there was coal under Atchison. In the Atchison Globe for July 1, 1899, Langworthy stated that the same strata of stone and the same coal beds underlaid Atchison as Leavenworth, only at the former place they were deeper. In October, 1899, Prof. Haworth visited the field. He thought coal ought to be found at a depth of eight or nine hundred feet.
Langworthy began to push the matter and after some delay a company was formed for drilling. The work began late in this last summer, but by September 25,1900,a depth of 1,102 feet had been reached which was all the contract called for. Drillers and experts said it was useless to go farther and rather scoffed at the idea of there being any coal there at all. Lanyworthy was persistent, however. He was secretary of the company, and he got out and did some lively work. He succeeded in reviving interest and induced the drillers to continue for another hundred feet.
Atchison people have had a little experience in hunting coal. Several holes have been drilled before, which were rather mysteriously plugged, either by rival companies or by malicious persons. To avoid this Langworthy stayed at the drill every night

as a guard. L. N. Morscher, who was sent by the University, watched during the day time. The work went on merrily until Oct. 4th, when the glad cry of coal came. It was indeed true, a 36 inch vein was pierced This is a larger vein than that at Leavenworth or any place near.
The core was sent to the University for analysis. E.B. Hayes did this work, and his determinations are now on record. Prof. Haworth says it is the best coal in the state except the Cherokee Co.'s coal, and it even excels that as a gas coal.
This is a very valuable mineral find. Permanent companies were immediately organized at Atchison, and Mr. Langworthy received shares as a merited reward. Indeed, the credit is all due him and the University authorities. Mr. Langworthy has been a coal enthusiast for years. We congratulate him on his success.

BASKET BALL.
NO.14.
First Game at Liberty, Mo., with William Jewel.
Monday night K.U. and William Jewel played basket ball at Liberty, Mo. The game was splendidly played and K. U. only lost by the close score of 6 to 8.
The team left here Monday afternoon. The delegation consisted of Manager Russell, Prof. Naismith, Fred Owens, forward; Joe Alford, forward; Herb Owens center; J. H. Sawtell, back; C A. Smith, back; and Gould and W.A.Smith, substitutes.
The game started off with a rush for K. U., and all through the contest our boys clearly outplayed their opponents. K.U. made five goals that the umpire refused to count and this lost the game. When the ball went out of bounds the K.U. boys immediately returned it and resumed playing. The umpire objected every time to the place of return and refused to count the goals that were made immediately after. The boys are well pleased with their trip, but feel that they deserve better treatment at the hands of the umpire.
The game was very exciting. At the end of the second half the score was a tie, and it took several more minutes to decide it. During the second half Joe Alford sprained his ankle and Gould went in. At the end of that half Smith took Sawtell's place.
The students of William Jewel were very enthusiastic. A large crowd was out, and it simply went wild after the game. To liven up matters there was also a cane
rush. The Missourians were certainly outplayed but they are not unacquainted with the game. Over one hundred men tried for places on their team, which is good evidence of its strength.
INTER-COLLEGIATE.
The main building of the State Agricultural college at Ames, was destroyed by fire last week. The loss is about $100,000.
A number of the college papers are planing to put out elaborate foot ball numbers. The Round Table from Beloit, Wis., has already reached us, and it is certainly a fine number.
Students at the University of Wisconsin who miss either the last recitation before vacation or the first after will not be allowed to take final examination. We rather think there will be a full attendance.
Three Princeton freshmen were fined thirty dollars each for stealing the clapper from the bell of "Old North church." They intended to have the clapper melted up and made into small coins to be sold as souvenirs, the proceeds to be used for paying the fines.—Vidette Reporter.
Junior Meeting.
The Juniors held a short class meeting Monday noon. The question of interest was the "Prom." It was decided not to give it until after Easter. The hall was not selected, but it is very likely to take place in the Eldridge hall. The class decided to meet again next Monday and make definite arrangements.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY WEEKLY.
Contributions to Department of American History.
The Department of American History has received from friends of the University some recent additions to its collection of illustrative material. When the British occupied New York City during the revolution, the state legislature adjourned to Kingston, where its sessions were held during the remainder of the war. The "Old Senate House," used at that time, has ever since been preserved by the state as a repository of historical relieds and manuscripts. When Judge D. S. Alford was east last summer he visited Kingston and took pains to secure for the University from the custodian of the "Old Senate House" a facsimile printed on parchment, of the Broadside issued in New York City, to announce the conclusion of peace between Great Britain and the United States. The Broadside is dated March 25th, 1783, and announces that an express just received from New Jersey contains the news that a ship, thirty-five days out from Cadiz, arrived in Philadelphia on Sunday, the 23d of March, with dispatches announcing the signing of a preliminary treaty of peace at Paris on the 20th of January. It thus took two months for the news to reach America. What a revolution the telegraph and ocean cable have worked. The Broadside has been framed and placed in the departmental library.
Another contribution of illustrative material comes from Mr. David Horkmans, the University photographer. It consists of a number of campaign posters and caricatures that were used in the recent presidential election. They were sent to Mr. Horkmans by the republican state central committee in order that he might make lantern slides from them for use in the campaign. The most interesting one is a reproduction of an old caricature, representing Jackson dresses in kingly robes, wearing a crown and wielding a sceptre, which was used by the republicans in the
last campaign in reply to the charge of imperialism. This cartoon will also be framed for the reading room. The department will be glad to receive additional material of this kind from other friends of the University.
Debating in the University.
Now that the foot ball season is over, the next thing to occupy the attention of the student body is the subject of public speaking, both in oratorical contests and in the inter-state debates. Already preparations are being made to meet our sister states in debate. Nebraska, especially, is training a strong, confident set of old debaters. The latest organization in the University, and one whith promises to be very efficient, is a boys' debating club of thirty-five members, known as the XYZ club. This club is founded upon the principles of similar organizations in larger universities. Training in debating, extempore speaking, and parliamentary practice is the sole object of the society. Its roll of members contains names of many of the strongest men of the University. Later in the year arrangements will be made for joint debates, if possible, with Ottawa, Baldwin, and Washburn.
The XYZ club, it is believed, supplies a genuine need in the University, and is but another forward step in its ever onward progress.
"The Prisoner of Zenda."
This charming and noble story will be presented here soon with all the necessary scenic embellishments and costumes. It has proven to be the most delightful play ever produced under Daniel Frohman's management, surpassing in charm and interest the many masterpieces which Mr. Frohman has given to the public. This season's production is said to be superior to any heretofore presented in strength of cast and beauty of scenic adornment.

An All-Kansas Team.
It is a matter of extreme difficulty to select from the many foot ball players of Kansas, the eleven stars. Some believe that the Washburn team alone contained the eleven stars of Kansas, but a veteran foot ball player, a man who has seen all the principal Kansas college games and who is fitted to judge concerning the relative strength of players, makes the following statement:
To the Athletic Editor of "The Washburn Review:"
"If I were choosing an all-Kansas foot ball team I would take Carl of Haskell for center; Turtleson of Emporia Normal, and White of Washburn, as guards; Wilcox of K. U. and Gill of Washburn, tackles; Algie of K. U. and Nichol of Ottawa, or Banks of Washburn, ends; Banks probably as having the most experience. For quarter, Stewart of Washburn is ahead of any other man. For half-backs there are four stars so near each other it would be hard to decide which to choose; Moore and Roberts of Washburn, Tucker of K. U., and Dugan of Haskell. At full, Odell is the best line bucker, but not one of the full backs can kick, which I think an essential to that position. Therefore I would put Quigley of K. U., in that position. Although he plays half there is not another man on the five big teams that is so sure under a punt or with one."
When other foot ball men about town examined the above they expressed themselves as being dissatisfied with the author's statement only in one instance, and that was in regard to the tackles. They claim that although Wilcox is a great player, Hughes, of Washburn equals him, and that individually considered it is almost impossible to tell who is the stronger, but captain Ernest Hughes, of Washburn, was the leader of the best team Kansas ever produced so everything considered Hughes would be entitled to the place in preference toWilcox.--Washburn Review.
A Freshman Heard From.
The following communication, which is reproduced verbatim ad literatum, was received through our contribution box. It is self explanatory:
DEAR MR. EDITOR: I come to you in this asking why aint the freshmen a running of the University. They are running lots of other schools as big as this. Now out in Kansas they even caut the professors & rubbed tar on their noses and I have heard that former freshmen are now running universities of their own. Dr. Hetherington told me he was certain that Pres. Jordon of Leland Stanford used to be a freshman. Why ther are lots of reasons why a freshman should run this school. Aint we got more sense than any other class. I can prove it by freshmen any time. The rest won't admit it because they are prejudiced. Aint we stouter than any other class. If anybody doubts that I will scrap him any time. Where do they get foot ball teems & base ball nines? right from us, that's what. Who is it that gets in uncle tom's Cabin shows for 10 cents? Us that's who.
Then aint there more of us than anybody else. Fellow freshmen:
Arise! Shake off this lethargy. Meet in one spot take ther the oath of fealty bathed in the blood of a mity resolution. Unloose the egle of your ambition. Snatch the litning that plays around the snowy tops of the lofty sierras. Dip yure arrers in the venum of deadly serpints. Grasp the mity thunders of thedecaying Roman umpire & hurl it at the foe.
Strike freshmen for yore alter & yore fires.
Strike for the sanctimony of yore cause. Till you achieve the best of yore ambition's desires.
Or you shall be ashamed to face yore pa's. Meet me on the campus tonight so we can take the oath.
Yours effectunately,
SILAS CORN COB.
P. S. Please print this for I no the only way to reach all the boys is thro yore paper s.c.

The editorial writer on a college paper has his troubles. He can't touch politics, the people will say the school teaches political doctrines He can't roast the frats, they won't support the paper. Cut off from both national and local issues, his path is filled with the proverbial thorns and cobble stones. We really wonder if it wouldn't be wise to eliminate the editorial column.

Y. W. C. A. NOTES.
The meeting next Wednesday afternoon will be a Christmas service.
Miss Rose Meredith left Wednesday for Kansas City, where she will spend a month with members of the State association, who are founding a college settlement in the slums. She will return to her work in the University after the Christmas holidays.
Last Wednesday's meeting was in charge
of the missionary committee, and was addressed by Mrs. Henley. She gave a most interesting account of her travels in France and Switzerland, and described the Passion Play which she attended at Oberammagau. She had with her a number of photographs obtained during her travels, which the girls were much interested in examining after the meeting.
SOCIETY.
The Kappas have chosen February 1st as their party date
The Thetas will have their annual Christmas Katsup Saturday evening.

The Sophomores gave their party last night in Eldridge Hall. The hall was prettily decorated; oysters were served and Sommer's orchestra furnished music for the dancers. It was perhaps the most elaborate class party given for several years, and the Sophomores deserve congratulations on the success of it.

Mrs. Hazen entertained for the students at her house Friday evening. Each one was requested to bring a friend. Games were played and there was music, which made the evening pass most pleasantly. Delicious refreshments were served.
The Pi Phis gave a reception Monday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Frank Benedict, in honor of Miss Stebbins of the Evanston chapter of Pi Beta Phi, who is visiting friends in Lawrence. The hours were from 3 to 6. The house was prettuly decorated for the occasion. Miss Lou Barker served chocolate in the dining room. She was assisted by Miss Mary Spencer and Miss Grace Bangs.
The Pi Phis have issued invitations to their friends for a farce to be given Saturday afternoon at the Unitarian church at 2:15. The farce is one of those written by Louise Alcott when a girl, and is entitled "Bianca." It was given by the new initiates of the Pi Phis this fall at one of their cookey shines and so much enjoyed that it is to be repeated for the benefit of others, the proceeds to be used for the Lucinda Smith Buchan scholarship fund of the Pi Phi chapter here.

The Kansas Museum.
During the holidays there will be considerable interest manifested in the Kansas University museum. People all over the state will be inquiring as to the value of the collections; how we have obtained them and how they are displayed. University students will be called upon to furnish information. The professors in Snow hall have furnished the material for an interesting, instructive, and authoritive article in the December Oread. It would be well if every student should supply himself with several copies before going home. The article is finely illustrated with half-tones. The frontispiece of the magazine is an unusually fine half-tone of the foot ball team.

LITERARY SOCIETIES SNOW.
The Snow will give its annual Christmas program to night for members only or for those receiving invitations from the program committee. A Christmas box will be one of the features. The literary program will be quite short and the evening will be a pleasant change from the usual literary program. The Snow now has all the members it can accommodate. As a result programs are well prepared, spicy and entertaining. The attendance runs from sixty to seventy-five. The members attend quite regularly, with but few exceptions, thus increasing interest in the work and adding to the zest of the meeting. It is especially
desirable that all be present tonight for the last meeting before vacation. Tonight is the time for the regular election of officers, but this will be posponed until after the holidays.
BURKE.
The Burke has this year taken a new departure from its former practice, and now admits ladies as well as gentlemen. The Burke meets at North College every Friday night at 7:30. Much better work is being done this year than last, but whether it is due to increased interest in literary work or to the stimulation of the young men by the fair sex, is not known. At any rate the Burke has taken its place as a worthy rival of the Snow and the Adelphi, and now does excellent literary work in all
