THREE BEAT THEIR WAY.
And Gave "Rock Chalk" After the Drake Game.
After the Drake game at Des Moines Saturday the Drake rooters were surprised to hear a lusty "Rock Chalk!" issue from their midst, given by three strangers.
Three young men of the University, Fred Newcomb, John Alcorn and Calvin Morrow, were so ambitious to see the game that they "bummed" their way from Lawrence to Des Moines with the team.
The men smuggled themselves on the train that the team was riding on and with the exception of of one time when the conductor found one of the trio hiding under a seat and ejected him from the train, they had no trouble either going to Des Moines or coming home.
One of the men described the trip home from DesMoines as a "wild night ride." The train was not far out of Des Moines when the conductor of the Pullman discovered that there were more men in the car than Manager Lansdon carried tickets for. He threatened to set the car off on some siding. After a long period of wrangling the conductor started through the car waking up all the men in the berths to make each man show that he had a right on the train. This roused the ire of Coach Mosse, who didn't want the men's rest broken, and he threatened to put the conductor off the car. Finally one of the stowaways was discovered, hiding in an upper berth where the men of the team had carefully stored their newly pressed clothes. He had used the clothes for mattress and covering. Then followed business of heated words by players. Later on Manager Lansdon was told that two of the players had shared their berths with two of the stowaways. The indignant manager lectured the team. "You men make the Athletic association go to the expense of providing separate berths for you, so that you can get a good rest the night after the game, and then you invite some tramp in to sleep with you," he said. A drunk from another part of the train entered the car and was ejected by Mike Lynch just as morning broke on the strenuous scene.

Hadn't Been Vaccinated.
There was a youth in our town—his name my memory slips—who feared he'd kissed some microbes from off his sweetheart's lips. When he found out what he had done, with all his might and main, he rushed back the following night and kissed them on again—Chicago Daily News.
Don't be "miss"led
by the salesman who tries to convince you that ready-made clothing is "just as good" as clothes tailored expressly for you.
Cloth, trimmings, and style may be identical, but----and Root! Root! Root!
Samuel Clarke
Your shape must be tailored into the clothes in order to secure the neatness and value you are entitled to for your money. Yet the cost is no more than is asked for the other kind.

LARGE BIBLE CLASS.
As a result of plans laid last spring, with the intention of enrolling as many men as possible in Bible classes this fall, a campaign has been carried on by members of the Y. M. C. A. during the last week, and 300 men have signified their intention of attending the classes which will be held during the winter. Clayton Cooper, a man of international fame, in University Bible work gave a series of lectures here last month which was considered to be a great help by "Dad" Herman, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. Arrangements have been made with various professors in the University and with Drs. Payne and Wilber, and the Rev. Noble Elderkin, of the Congregational church to conduct the classes.
