DOPE OF OUR NEIGHBORS
HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL IN MISSOURI'S BREAST.
TIMES HAVE CHANGED.
Hard Luck Story from Washburn and Iowa—Nebraska is Confident.
Lincoln, Neb., October 27. As a result of the heavy Minnesota and Haskell games the Nebraska football team is badly crippled. Kroger and Beltzer were both injured at Minneapolis and they will not be in the best condition for the Ames game next Saturday. This contest is one of the heaviest the Varsity goes into this year and with the men out of condition before the game the team may come out of the conflict battered up beyond repair. The fleet quarter back Cooke is out of the game at present and the rooters are wondering if he will come round for Ames and Kansas.
Old Man Bentover—(who doesn't understand class troubles, receives a letter from his son, a freshman at K. U.) “By gum, I guess them K. U. purfessors isn't a-teachin” Zekiel the Scripturs like I learnt 'em.'
The Haskell game Saturday, in which the Cornhuskers won only 5 to 0, does not show the real strength of either team. The condition of the field made scoring very difficult and on an average field Nebraska would have swamped the Indians.
Columbia, Mo., October 27. As a result of the mighty defeat the Tigers gave to Westminster Saturday the students are waking up more than ever to the wonderful possibilities of the Varsity. When Rolla was downed 16 to 0 on October 11 the coaches thought that Iowa would be held to a low score. The result of that game, 10 to 5 in favor of Missouri set the rooters wild and all kinds of speculations are heard. Many are prophesying an ever victorious team for Missouri. With their easy schedule it looks as though Kansas is the only team standing in the way of the realization of the Tiger's fondest hopes.

Iowa City, Iowa, October 27. At the present time Coach Catlin has the biggest hospital list of the year. The whole team is a collection of sprained ankles; twisted knees and bad legs. The Morningside game last Saturday was comparatively easy and gave the Hawkeyes some chance to recover. A heavy schedule now opens before the team culminating in the Kansas and Nebraska games. Kansas comes to Iowa on Saturday,
SONG RECITAL TONIGHT.
First of a Series of Interesting Entertainments by Musicians.
Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson, the noted contralto, will give a song recital this evening in Fraser Hall. This is the first of four recitals given under the auspices of the school of Fine Arts. The second will be a piano recital given by Harold Henry, a University of Kansas graduate. Mary Angell, one of the most famous artists, will give a piano recital for the third attraction. Ralph Wylie, former instructor in the University, will complete the list with a violin recital.
Mrs. Wilson is a favorite at the University. Last year she drew the largest audience at a paid entertainment in Fraser.
Are Getting Cards.
The students who joined the Hospital Association are receiving their membership cards today. The total membership is 738. The three-dollar rate which was imposed after October 15 is to be kept for new members, although the desired membership has been reached.
Prof. T. W. Todd of Washburn gave an illustrated lecture to the students of the German department Monday afternoon on Schiller's "William Tell" as he saw it presented in Altorf, Switzerland.
CLASS GAMES THURSDAY.
Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors to Meet Seniors.
The class football games have been postponed until Thursday afternoon. None of the classes are ready to play except the freshmen who have been practicing every day since the season opened, and are confident of winning. The line of the class of '09 never has been crossed, however, and most of the original team is still in school.
The athletic association has given the senior class a. silver loving cup which is being engraved now and will be put in the trophy room soon. This cup is to belong to the class permanently but the association is offering another cup to the winning team this year. The championship team will have its name engraved on the cup and any team which wins three consecutive years is to own the cup.
The freshmen will meet the sophomores and the juniors will struggle with the seniors, Thursday.
"Sprouty" Porter has been elected captain of the 1909 team. He won one of their games last year by two drop kicks.
The freshmen will be handicapped Thursday by the loss of Capt. Lovette'the big full back who was taken off the field last

ON TO LINCOLN IS THE CRY
ROOTERS WILL BE NEEDED FOR HARDEST GAME.
More Expensive This Year, But Make Plans to Go Anyway.
Are you going to Lincoln November 14 to help Kansas defeat the Cornhuskers? If seventy-seven fares are guaranteed the Union Pacific will run a special train from here leaving any time the management wishes, probably Friday night. The night trip would give the boys a better chance to rest. The rate under ordinary conditions is $9.70. The special rate for the round trip will be $8.30.
The athletic association has made arrangements for thirty men to go on the trip. This number will include the manager, coaches and subs. If fifty men will show their desire to accompany the team the special will be secured. A paper, now being prepared by a committee interested in the matter, will be circulated among the students to get signers.
Freshman Emancipation.
"Banzai! Banzai! Emancipation at last!" The freshmen are happy. Their trouble is at an end and emancipation has come, so they say.
"The question of caps is a thing of the past," said a prominent freshman this morning. "I don't think anything will ever be done or said about them again, and what is more the freshmen will never wear them now. The ten commandments are void and useless, and cannot have any effect on us now."
Miss Wilder to Sing.
Miss Sarah Wilder of Leavenworth a former University student, assisted by Prof. Carl Preyer will give a vocal recital November 5th probably at the Presbyterian Church. Miss Wilder has spent three years in Paris studying music under De Reske. She will return next summer for more study.
