Sophomores vs. Seniors.
With Washburn, Nebraska and St. Louis all planning to defeat the Jayhawkers by a large score, Kansas expects to have at least one busy day each week in November.
The diplomatic ability of the Kansas Athletic Board has been taxed to its utmost capacity for two weeks deciding where to play the Thanksgiving game. Owing to the financial crisis at M. S. U. the local board conceded to play the game at St. Joseph this year but "insists on playing on college grounds next year." This does not settle the question for next year definitely. It seems as though the very existence of athletics at Columbia depends upon the returns of the Thanksgiving game.
Tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 the first Vesper services of the year will be held in chapel. These services are always interesting and more than that the vesper services fill a demand for religious exercises in the university. The wail comes from Michigan that President Engle has announced that there will be no more chapel exercises in that institution on account of the failuere of students to attend. It is sincerely to be hoped the time will never come when Kansas cannot muster a crowd sufficient to support a religious exercise such as the vesper services.
At last an ideal chapel speaker has been found, and that too among the clergy, where one is most seldom found. Rev. Wells, who delivered the address in chapel yesterday, made a speech that came nearer satisfying the critical audience he was talking to than any speaker who has appeared at the university for some time. His time was not spent in tossing boquets to a disgusted audience; he did not waste his time
and others with platitudes and trite advice and apologies. Rev. Wells' speech was direct and to the point, and so seasoned with humor as to be digestible. He talked just as he once bucked the football line in his college back in Maryland without hedging or parleying or sparring for an opening—and that is what the student body wants in a chapel speaker.
Arkansas Weekly: "Here, the freshmen usually does as he pleases, strutting about the campus in his new uniform, contaminating the air with his vile pipe and wearing the"A' which some of the upper classmen have worked on the athletic field two or three years to obtain. In fact, but for the naturally green appearance of the raw recruit, it would be hard to distinguish the freshie from the grown up senior."
We are sorry to admit that such are the conditions at Kansas too.
Afterthoughts
The student who advertises three dress suits for sale evidently overestimated the social pace at K. U.
Coach Parry evidently believes in killing two birds with one stone.
Yale tried the honor system one year but recently the students voted it down by a large majority. It is understood that
Here's a proposal! A proposition.
You may look at all the new Suits, Rain Coats and Overcoats—try on as many as you wish—ask the price ask any other questions, that may suggest themselves.
Most any day now, when you have a little time to spare, we would like to put our time against yours and show you the correct ideas in Winter wearables.
Then look at the New Shapes in Hats, the new Neckwear, Shirts, Gloves and all the fresh things in Toggery.
Look as long as you like. We'll agree not to say a word about your buying. Our proposition is to show you.

there were too many failures last year.
"Give me a nickel, I haven't had any supper," whined a beggar to a freshman walking homeward after supper one night. But he of recent matriculation thought of the square meals he used to eat at home. "I am not in much better fix myself," he replied.
If Missouri needs the money so much Kansas might have made her a loan.
To become a benedict: Get a job as coach at K. U.
Most students here thought coach Parry went north to get a line on Nebraska but it seems that he returned with a "line" on some else.
The faculty missed a rare opportunity to hand Professor Haworth a "lemon" by applauding the other day when he suggested that the Tuesday chapel talks by professors were getting to be a bore.
