The sporting writer for the Kansas City Journal in commenting upon the Convention Hall meet branded Cooley's accidental spiking of Cleland as questionable sportsmanship, insituated that it was intentional and stated that Cooley had spiked two Tiger runners on previous occasions. The fact is that Cleiand stumbled on the pole and fell directly in Cooley's path and the spiking was accidental and unavoidable. Cooley would be the last athlete in the country to intentionally trip or spike a rival runner, he won the mile in Convention Hall and he should have the credit for it. In all his years on the track Cooley had not previously been disqualified for spiking.
Last night some persons probably students, wrecked the Masque Club picture on the campus and would have stolen the photographs had they not been frightened away. Even at the University there are thieves, rascals and other forms of irresponsible existence. There are always some students, who, on account of lack of training in their youth or from a conceived willfulness, disdain the conventions of society. Such persons are more deserving of pity than of condemnation, but they should not be allowed to roam around unhampered to prey upon an unsuspecting society.
The scores of people at the play last night who were showered with beans, confetti, paper boxes and wadded programs in a continual downpour from the gallery will no doubt look with favor upon the creation of a student council which shall make some effort to eliminate the activity of the "roughneck" and the hoodlum at undergraduate public entertainments.
The Kansan's offer of an appriate trophy to the best all around kicker on the football team should have some effect in developing a star man. Many a time a team is raised above
mediocrity by a stellar performer in the kicking department. Next years Jayhawkers must have all departments of the game cared for.

Mr. J. H. Canfield.
Notice was received at the University today of the death of Mr. J. H. Canfield, librarian of Columbia University. He was professor in history and economic science in the University of Kansas from 1877 to 1891. Until 1889 he taught all the history and economics that was offered here and in the meantime was a professor in American history. In 1891 he accepted the chancellorship of the University of Nebraska. Later he became president of the University of Ohio. Professor Canfield was a graduate of Williams College. "He was a man of genial nature," said Professor Blackmar in speaking of him, "bubbling over with perpetual enthusiasm and a great lover of his friends who numbered thousands in the state of Kansas. He was especially loyal to the teachers of the state and at one time president of the State Teachers' Association, subsequently of the National Teachers' Association."
Spoke at Vesper Services.
Dean J. P. de Bevers Kaye of Topeka, spoke at vespers Sunday afternoon on the text, "In quietness and confidence shall be thy strength." He advised students to recognize this truth instead of yielding to the temptation to be always at the center of things. "Out of life's silences have appeared the greatest men and women of the world," said Dean Kaye. The greatest may not be spectacular but it will be true. It depends upon the preparedness for life's crises which come to all lives.
