Kansas-Oklahoma debate.
Kansas has reason to rejoice over the result at Kansas City last night. Missouri celebrated a victory when they played K. U. a tie game of foot-ball Thanksgiving, and we can with more consistency rejoice now, for we have another shot at the Tigers this year. The outcome last night indicates that Kansas will easily win the outdoor meet later on. Last night we made eight more points than we have made for the last two years. The meet last night showed that Kansas has a track team that compares well with the Missourians, and needs only a little more training to make it superior to Monilaw's men. In the outdoor meet three more events are entered, all of which Kansas is practically sure of capturing. In the discus throw, the hammer throw, and the broad jump Kansas will get a first place. One of the things brought out last night was the amazing speed of Cummins. Although a new man he gave Jackson a run for his life. In the relay Babb, Haddock and Newbold showed that they are coming men. All four of the Kansas runners outclassed the Tigers. Although it is called a defeat Kansas won a decided victory at Kansas City. Watch what she does to the Tigers in the spring.
What is the matter with the K. U. band? On trips like the one to Kansas City we should certainly have a band that can be taken along. Where does the fault lie? The athletic board cannot be expected to take a musical organization along that hasn't practiced for several months. The manager
says he can't induce men to come out and practice. The men cannot be blamed much for refusing to devote their time to practicng on a brass horn for months in order to have their expenses paid on a dollar excursion somewhere. What we need is a faculty instructor and a University credit for band members. Then this institution of two thousand students can support a band.
Now that the track meet is over let's whoo it up for the debate next Friday. Oklahoma is getting up all kinds of enthusiasm. It's up to Kansas to show the Sooners what enthusiasm means and Kansas has never yet fallen down. If we will give our two men the right kind of support we can win that debate.
Fifteen students at Nebraska have been dismissed from school as delinquents. The editor of the Nebraskan lets out this pathetic wail: "Sad, cruel fate! Why will the cold and heartless world thrust its rugged flints, and hide its treacherous thorns in youth's harmless dreamy way? Oh life is a tragedy after all."
Another two-by-four Kansas editor has taken a shot at the Journalism course in the University. Will these little dinkey editors who don't know the difference between a split infinitive and a box-car ever tire of knocking on education?
According to Mrs. Lewis's description one would think the Kansas conscience was calloused in spots.
The danger of getting into the "also ran" column keeps many a good man off the track.
Not long ago the Standard Oil trust got down on its knees before a K. U. graduate; then

we were delighted to hear that a K. U. man had gone to the U. S. Senate from Idaho; and now one of them has become the leading attorney in one of the most noted murder cases in the United States.
"Yesterday morning a student lost an overcoat and recovered it later at a pawn shop."—Daily Nebraskan.
It is nothing unusual for K. U. students to recover their overcoats several times each year at pawn shops.
Mrs. Lewis said in speaking to the Journalism classes yesterday, "By some, John D. Rockefeller and those of his stripe are called pillars of the church. It is more appropriate to call them 'pillow-shams.'"

Robert W. Wells, LLB. '97, an attorney in Washington, D.C., was honored by the Washington Times as one of the Napoleons in stature and achievement. In this distinguished class were Senators LaFollette and Knox. The Times in speaking of the ex-Kansan said: "Another Napoleon of Washington lawyers who is winning well deserved laurels in criminal law is Robert Wesley Wells, a Marylander, a mere youngster in point of age, but a "criminal lawyer" and politician of ability. Just now he is in the limelight as the attorney (associated with Mr. Hoover) of Mrs. Bradley, who has been indicted for shooting ex-Senator Brown of Utah in the Hotel Raleigh. Mr. Wells is short in stature, but has a winning manner and a splendid flow of eloquence."
