THE FOOTBALL BANQUET.
The football banquet tomorrow night is a means of honoring the team which should be participated in by a large proportion of the student body. The University was represented on the gridiron this year by a squad of good athletes who played a clean game always and who were in the game every minute of play. There are no "quitters" in the bunch. The only game they lost during the season went to the premier team in the Missouri Valley this year by a much smaller score than was anticipated. In every way, the Kansas squad met the problems of the schedule crediably. A good attendance and rousing enthusiasm at the banquet is the best way to show the players that their good work is appreciated by the students whose representatives they were
Another feature of the banquet is that it will mark the dividing line between the old and the new system of coaching in the Missouri Valley. The chances are that Kennedy and Mosse will never again in the old way teach University of Kansas athletes to play clean ball and win victories. What the future has in store under the new system can only be guessed at, but certainly the veteran coaches have left a record which may well be a source of pride always to them and to the University. And the banquet will be also in the nature of a farewell to them and there the students can set the seal of their approval on the long and faithful service and splendid achievements of Coaches Kennedy and Mosse.
Following the precedent established some years ago, the University Y. M.C. A. has charge of the arrangements for the football banquet. A large affair of this kind always means a lot of hard work and worry, and the only reward the members of the Association will receive for their work will be the satisfaction of having demonstrated again the Association's usefulness to the University.
"The best play ever shown the University public," is what one of the dramatic organizations
promises, for next spring. That is a large promise and to keep it the organization will have to do a lot of work before the grass grows green again.
Coach Hollenback's story about how he and a lot of infuriated Missourians 'chased an official to cover after the Thanksgiving game recalls the sort of amenities that used to be observed on the border just before Kansas became a state, the only difference being that in the early days such incidents were real while the one related by the Missouri coach was only an imaginary one.
New Football Rules.
The consensus of the football authorities is that the new rules, which were given a thorough try-out this season, lessen the danger to players, if they do not increase the interest on the part of the spectators. This decision will have weight with those outside the official circle, but who are nevertheless deeply interested in the game. The statisticians do not entirely agree as to the extent to which the risk to players has been decreased, some claiming that the figures show more persons injured this season than ever before. Several instances of rowdyism and brutality, how ever, have been emphasized unduly by those who desire a return to the old rules. Against these exceptional cases must be placed the very general opinion that the most objectionable features of the game as formerly played have been eliminated.
It can hardly be denied that the opportunity for rough play—and with players not animated by the spirit of true sportsmanship an opportunity is always a temptation—has been lessened and the very complaint that has been heard at times, to the effect that the game has been "molly-coddled," is an argument in favor of the new rules. The game would much better be abolished entirely than that there should be even a tacit admission that spectators go to experience the thrill of possible serious casualties among the players. If it is now harder for rowdyism to manifest itself a long step in the right direction has been taken. The most ardent admirers of the new rules do not claim that they are perfect, but the tendency is toward a higher standard of

sportsmanship. This much must be admitted, and those who prefer a more strenuous form of the sport are open to the suspicion that they are actuated by a wrong spirit. Any further changes of the rules will unquestionably be along these lines, all tending to make the game the ideal sport of amateurs.-Kansas City Journal.
What's the Matter With Prexy?
It used to be a reproach to President Eliot's administration that Harvard seldom won the Yale game in football. Many Harvard men even held him personally responsible. Two Yale games have now been played since his successor came into office, and it cannot be said that the Lowell administration is getting; thus far, much better results. What can be the matter with Harvard's presidents?—Springfield Republican.

Favorable to New Football.
The statistics of football casualties the past season are encouraging to those who favor the "new football." There were only 14 deaths, as compared with 23 in the season preceding; while ol serious injuries to players there were but 40, as compared with 64 the year before. And still, with all this refinement, the game cannot yet be described as ladylike—Springfield Republican.

In Spare Moments, Two Univer
sity Men Made Violins.
In order to pass away the long evenings of last winter, H. T. Martin, assistant curator of paleontology, and his assistant, Wyman Green, a post-graduate student, conceived the idea of turning this spare time to good account by each making a violin. The spruce and maple chosen for the construction did not come from the most aristocratic sources, being only some old boards gathered up in the back yard, but they served the purpose just the same, as is shown by the final products.
After almost a year of work at odd moments on the instruments they were given a final seasoning then polished and are at last in real service. Mr. Morse, instructor in violin, has tested them and pronounced them of excellent quality.
