such a shape that a football man, with little time to spare on study, could get through with the least possible exertion. All this is now changed. The law school is just as hard to get through as the other ordinary courses. Unless a player wants to become a lawyer, there is no inducement for him to study the law.
Of the twenty-one men rewarded for work on the gridiron this year, nine are taking engineering,the heaviest course on the hill, seven are laws,and five take their work in the college.

THE FRESHMEN PLAYED WELL
SUCCESS OF 'VARSITY DEPENDED MUCH ON TYROS.
Rouse Turned Out Great Team Several Players for 'Varsity Next Fall.
It is hard to analyze a victorious football season, but a critic of the game who has paid any attention to the events of this season must recognize that the Freshman team has never received its share of reward for the ever-victorious team. The first year men, night after night, used the formations of Washburn, Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri against the 'Varsity in order to train the regulars for their opponents. The victory over Nebraska is largely due to the fact that the team had been trained by the Freshmen to meet the Nebraska offense and defense.
Coach Rouse had a fine squad of tyros to work with and the simple truth is that he turned out the best Freshman team since the new one-year residence rule has been in effect. The team ran away with the class championship, defeating the Sophomores 27 to 0 and the undefeated Senior team 12 to 6.
There are several real stars among the new men and every place left vacant on the 'Varsity will be well filled by them next fall. "Big" Smith, right tackle, has the weight and speed of "Tub" Reed and he will be a wonder someday. Davidson, left tackle, will be a likely candidate next fall for a line position. Hackman, at center, plays the same style as does Carlson and his weight almost insures him the regular place at center after the passing of the "Swede." Lovett, the first year captain, is a line plunger of ability and can hold down full-back or a line position on the 'Varsity. Maser is the team's best half-back, and he is speedy and carries the ball for long gains. Brownlee at end is a star of the first magnitude, and he should slip in at end on the 'Varsity next year. Powell on the other wing is scarcely below Brownlee. Heil, the clever little quarter, is fleet and wily, punts well, and can handle the forward pass. Despite his weight, he may some day be a regular.
The Freshman line-up was: Lovett (captain), full back; Allen, right guard; Ahrens, left guard; Smith, right tackle; Davidson, left tackle; Brownlee, right end; Powell, left end; Hackman, center; Heil, quarterback; Maser, right half; Slaymaker, left half; substitutes, Price, A. Smith, Lee, Wilhelm, Lennox, Ellis, Alphin, Veatch, Larson.
"She was a student of Vassar, While he was a Princeton man And during the Newport season, They gathered a coat of tan, Which caused unlimited wonder. Knocker cried 'What a disgrace', For each of the pair were sunburned On the opposite sides of the face." —Exchange.
STUDENTS DO ALL THE WORK
They Collect News, Edit Copy, and Set the Type for the Kansan.
The Kansan is a newspaper of University students for University students. The news is gathered, the type set up, and the paper printed entirely through student enterprise.
The editor is the head of the paper and he is responsible and accountable for everything that appears in its columns. He directs the policy of the paper, writes the editorials, and gives the final revision to the news articles.
The managing editor makes assignments to the board members, and edits the copy that they hand in. The news field is divided up and each reporter has a certain territory that he covers at least once each week, in addition to writing up all special events in his field.
As soon as the news is collected it is given to the student typesetters and put in type. A student runs the paper off the press and immediately student carriers deliver the sheet over town.
The business manager and his two assistants collect all the advertising and pay the expenses of the paper. The press and print shop is owned by the Alumni Association. The circulation manager takes charge of the subscription list, handles all subscription money, and takes charge of the mailing out of the paper.
The Kansan is controlled by the board and a faculty committee of three. The faculty committee examines the credentials of all prospective board members and officers and makes endorsements to the board. The paper is run entirely on the merit system, the best men get on the board by tryouts, and the best board members become the officers.
The Modern Poet.
He sees a glory in each common thing,
And in his heart reigns God's perpetual spring;
He turns not from the present times away
Unto the splendor of a former day;
He seeks not far the life he is to sing,
But lives around him lend his fancy wing
And underneath his voweleed interplay
Men find that he has somewhat still to say. —Harry H. Kemp.
Ben Lebenthal, a freshman, went up to Professor Cady after he had made a poor recitation a few days ago and innocently asked:
"Professor, what is a Pi Phi?"
"Ah that's where you have been spending your time. No wonder you haven't been reciting," replied the professor, and the freshman was afraid to inquire farther lest he incriminate himself in some mysterious species of wickedness.
Many students are speculating on the possibility of a regular annual "all star" party resulting from the one given this year.
MUSICAL CLUBS ARE NUMEROUS
SINGERS AND PLAYERS HAVE OUTLET FOR TALENT.
Many Students Belong to Glee Club, Band, Orchestra, or Mandolin Club.
The Band was at one time a neglected scrap-heap among the musical organizations of the school. The players had only a student leader, who did not give much time to developing the band for his compensation was small. The men had no uniforms, except perchance two or three, which had been brought from their home towns; no music except that which was bought at the time of the founding of North College; and almost no organization. Whenever a visiting athletic team would bring its college band here, ours would not make an appearance at all. But two years ago things underwent a change and a man who is a professional musician was selected to direct the boys. Professor J.C.McCanles was the man and he still holds the reins to the band wagon. This year the band is more fully organized and gives little functions of its own. It is completely uniformed in blue, trimmed with red suits, purchased two years ago. At all athletic events it is on hand. The band receives a share of the student ticket
