--tion is out of debt. Besides building new bleackers on McCook field and paying almost a thousand dollars indebtednes from last year, Manager Lansdon reports twenty-four hundred dollars surplus. Good management will leave enough in the treasury at the close of the year to make additional improvements on McCook. The management is to be congratulated on the financial success of the season.
The election of Angney, the sturdy little quarterback, to the captaincy of next years eleven is a popular one with the students. Angney has always been one of the strongholds of the team. A splendid individual player, a cool calculating general, a natural leader, he has all the qualifications that go to make a good captain. His election to the coveted position will insure his return to school next year and will give Kennedy a veteran and tried quarterback, the best in the Missouri Valley to general his next eleven.
Now for the debates. Missouri, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Washburn are our enemies to be met and conquered on the rostrum. All are worthy opponents and will take the best of debating skill that is in the University if Kansas is to come off victorious. No half-hearted attempts will do this year. If we are to make any showing whatever it is going to take the united efforts of everybody that has had any experience at debating. Too much, the spirit exists among the debaters that it is mere personal honor that is to be won by a victory. The idea should never be forgotten that it is the reputation of the University that is at stake and no mere question of individual glory.
For the first time in years the Jayhawkers' Athletic Association is out of debt. Besides building new bleackers on McCook field and paying almost a thousand dollars indebtednes from last year, Manager Lansdon reports twenty-four hundred dollars surplus. Good management will leave enough in the treasury at the close of the year to make additional improvements on McCook. The management is to be congratulated on the financial success of the season.
The band will give its first concert a week from tonight in the gymnasium. Of all University organizations, none is more deserving of the full and heartiest support of the students than the band. Under the splendid leadership of Mr. McCanles it has become a real musical organization of which the University may well be proud. The students should show their appreciation of it by turning out in full force to its first concert.
