NEW EQUIPMENT FOR UNIVERSITY K. N. G.
CONSIGNMENT OF UNIFORMS RECEIVED THIS WEEK.
Target-Shooting Work Adopted
—The Company to Give Military Ball in Gymnasium.
The University company of the Kansas National Guard has just received a consignment of new uniforms. The equipment includes the heavy regulation winter top-coat with hood attached, the blue parade dress suits with cap to match. Already the commandant has sent in his requisition for equipping the entire company with heavy marching shoes.
A target range has been fitted up in the basement of the gymnassium for sharp-shooting at the 50 and 75 yard range. The heavy army rifles have been fitted with special equipment for the use of the militiamen to be used at short range, thus giving the militiamen the opportunity of having a mid-winter indoor target shoot.
On the evening of February 22 the local company will give a military ball in Robinson gymnasium having as guests over twenty commissioned officers from over the state. A regimental band will furnish music for the occasion.
It is believel by the K. U. guards that the assignment of equipment does not mean a possibility of war,but merely that the militiamen will hereafter be better equipped.
Examined Earth Fissures.
During vacation Professor Erasmus Haworth made an investigation of some peculiar and large fissures which have lately appeared about twenty miles southwest of Dodge City. The largest of the fissures is about 300 yards long and three feet wide. Another is about fifty yards long and two feet wide across at the widest point. The exact depth of the fissure has not been found, but a lariat forty feet long failed to touch the bottom. It is said that smoke issued from the cracks when they appeared, and the neighboring ground rumbled and shook. Professor Haworth was unable to determine the cause of the phenomena during his short visit and will probably made a further investigation as soon as possible.

COLUMBIA GETS GAME NEXT FALL?
Missouri Declares the Annual 177 Mile Trip for Twenty Years Entitles It to First Game.
"The annual Kansas-Missouri football game will probably be played at Columbia next year," was the statement made by Manager Lansdon this morning relative to the place of the annual Thanksgiving game, which by the recent action of the Missouri Valley Conference, must be played upon college grounds.
"The Missouri students have put in a strong claim for the game at Columbia, basing their argument upon the fact that for twenty years they have made the annual pilgrimage of 177 miles to see the game and that now the should have the first game played on their grounds."
As to the ability of Columbia to handle the crowds which might attend the game, Manager Lansdon thinks it can easily be done although the facilities for getting in and out of the town are poor.
It is probable that the athletic boards of the two Universities will decide upon the place for the game, contrary to the prevalent impression that the power of decision would rest upon the heads of the two schools.
Should the next game be played at Columbia it would give the athletic management here plenty of time to get ready for the immense crowds that would attend the following year.
