THURSDAY, SEPT. 30, 1909
The University has received several open and several concealed back-hand swipes in the past few days as the result of the tax controversy now raging in Kansas. This very thing is to be expected because it has happened under similar circumstances so many times before. We do not pretend to know the relative merits of the opposing sides in the present matter. But we feel that we do know that the University must be supported at any price, and if the price is higher taxation—as bad as that may be—theprice must be paid. The development and the extension of the University is of prime importance to the people of this state; of such importance that the question of money must be put aside out of repet for the larger and the ultimate good. The statement that Governor Crittenden of Missouri once made in a message to the legislature should have rank with the broad-minded and the patriotic utterances of all time. The remark of the venerable governor was "Parsimony toward education is liberality toward crime."
The move of the student council in setting dates for all class elections has already proved wise. Three class elections have already taken place, and many underisable features of previous elections were lacking. When every member of the class knows the date for choosing class officers in advance there will not be so much "ward politics" evident.
A short time ago the story came from Columbia that only three "M" Tigers were eligible for the Missouri team. Among the ineligibles was one "Puny" Bluck. Today "Puny", though still ineligible, is on the training table and it is the one best bet that he will be a regular on the team. Missouri needs Bluck and Missouri will have Bluck in one way or another.
Coach Hamilton has started his basket ball men to work. He has a mighty likely looking lot of players to make his team out of, too.
The honorary fraternity Phi Delta Phi of the school of Law has pledged the following men: John Powers, Spencer Baird, Arthur McAdams, Clarence Randal, M. I. Friedman, Robert Lee, Wm. Pepperill, Clarence Wetmore, James Gratton, Stubbs and Snyder.
News from the front
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 29. -(Special.)
At Nebraska there are many men out for the team, including Johnson, end; Wenstrand, guard; Temple, tackle; Bentley, quarter; Beltzer, half; and Sturtzenegger, half; all old "N" men. There is not a position on the Cornhusker team that is cinched at present for the squad of possibilities is large. Everything indicates that Coach Cole will have one of the huskiest lines that ever played for the scarlet and the cream and Nebraska bids fair to have a team that will capture the Missouri Valley championship and regain her lost laurels.
City, Iowa, Sept. 28. - (Special.) Coach Griffith and his cohorts are working night and day to get the University of Iowa into shape for the battle with Minnesota on October 2.
Three freshman teams were on Iowa field taking "their medicine," in order to aid in the development of the first eleven. Signal work was chiefly given, although the half backs were ordered to the field an hour earlier than their team mates in order to give them practice in catching punts. Plays on the blackboard at night in the armory and their working out on the floor were added to the hard stunts of the afternoon.
The lineup that Griffith put on the field showed some striking changes from the old eleven—being as follows:
Captain Gross, right guard; O'Brien, left guard; Hyland, right tackle; Hazard, left tackle; Bell, center; Hull, left end; Kresensky, right end; Ehret, right half; Murphy, left half; Wright, full back; Fee, quarter back.
New Yell to be Used.
One of the new yells which will be used this year by the Rooters club which is now being organized by Ralph Spotts is as follows: Rah-rah-rah-rah, Kansas - Kansas - Kansas, rah-rah, Kansas. The yell is to be given on the same pitch as the Rock Chalk and with the same movement. It can be repeated giving the locomotive effect. It was tried for the first time at the night-gown parade Saturday evening and made a decided hit. "Uncle Jinmie" says any yell that has the word Kansas in it is all right.
At Chapel Tomorrow.
The Reverend Dr. George H. Combs, pastor of the Independence Boulevard Christian Church, Kansas City, Missouri, will speak in chapel tomorrow morning. Miss Ruth Cady, sister of Professor H. P. Cady, will sing.
The water analysis board of the Chemistry department is working on samples of water from Caldwell, Kansas. Residents at Caldwell have made complaints of polluted water in nearby streams.
