With the approach of the holiday season, all the more important become the county club organizations in their efforts to arouse K. U. enthusiasm over the State. The mere fact that this is not a legislature year, when the University must make an appeal for large appropriations, is no reason why there should be a letup in the campaign being carried on so successfully by the students themselves in spreading the good name of the University throughout the length and breadth of Kansas. It is rather a strong argument for even more organized efforts this year by the various county organizations than they have made in the past. Let the K. U. clubs this year carry home just a little more of the true K. U. spirit, the K. U. loyalty. It will advertise the university in the way it should be advertised. It will bring results.
The basket ball season begins this week with Ottawa Friday night in Robinson Gymnasium. The season will continue only two months but twenty-five games will be played. With Doctor James Naismith, the inventor of basket ball as head coach, and Forrest Allen as assistant, Kansas should have a successful season.
The action of the athletic board in selecting Kennedy as coach of the football team for two more years meets with the general approval of the students. In his four years as
reader of the football squad here, Kennedy has abundantly proved himself to be an extremely capable football mentor as well as a thorough sportsman and gentleman. No one commands more respect in the Missouri Valley athletic circles than Kennedy and his return as coach for another two years greatly enhances the prospect for a successful season next year.
The football issue of the Missouri Independent is one long wail and lament over the sad fate of the Tiger football team Thanksgiving day. According to the startling information conveyed in the columns of the Independent, Kennedy's squad was outplayed from start to finish and it was cursed fate and Forter's educated toe that robbed them of a more than earned victory. It seems after all these long years of regular explaining and bemoaning after the annual Thanksgiving game, Missouri would take a defeat gracefully, but evidently the lesson is yet to be learned.
Afterthoughts
The Missouri Independent headed its writeup of the Thanksgiving game, "Forter 4 Missouri 0," and said that the other ten men of the Kansas team were woefully outclassed by Monilaw's men. Why didn't Monilaw's men run up a few touchdowns on them, just as an evidence of good faith?
Yes, it will be hard to equal "Green Eyes," but then we must have "Patience."

William C. Malley, who captained the Michigan football team in 1890, is insane. Another chance for the Chicago Tribune to boost its statistics of gridiron disasters.
teachers Still in Demand.
Professor W. H. Johnson, high school visitor, has just returned from an extended visit among the high schools of the state. There is a strong demand for high school teachers all over the state, he says. University graduates are more in demand now than ever before. He says about eighty counties in the state have the Barnes law in force and the university preparatory schools are being opened to a large number of students residing outside of the towns.
Faculty Play Basket Ball.
The chemistry faculty is to have a basket ball team composed of Professors Bushong, Cady, Jackson, Landrum and Haslem. A game will be played with the zoölogy department soon.
