A SAD, SAD TALE.
The press of the country has been lauding "One-round" Hogan this week. This pugilistic gentleman had engaged for a fistic encounter with the Hon. Wolgast and previous to the combat he made the remark that he was in perfect fighting trim that he had no excuses to offer and that if he was beaten he would know it was by a better man than himself. Hogan lasted one round and was then carted to the hospital. As soon as he was able to talk, mirabile dictu, he stated that the fight was on the square and that he was going to retire from the ring.
The meet Saturday was an athletic contest that was a credit to both schools. Kansas is not making any pleas for leniency or is not saying that the meet was not on the square. We were beaten by a better team wherefore the analogy to the belligerent Irishman who lasted only one round.
Now this little dissertation on prize fighting has been a preface to a sad, sad tale. Last Saturday Missouri came here and took the measure of our track team. Before the meet Kansas announced that she was in good condition, with the exception of one or two men. The Tigers beat us fairly and squarely and we are going to make the same bid for praise as did our pugilistic brother with the Irish name. We were beaten by a team better than ourselves and therefore we are going to retire—until next year. Next year it is planned to send a delegation of University students to Columbia and to have these same men kidnap Bermond, Steele, Johnson, Nicholson, Catron and at least two of the Andersons and the rest of the team.
The action of the Pan-Hellenic council in restraining their freshmen from taking part in dramatics, is a step in the right direction. It is a lamentable fact that there are too many detracting influences that tend to make the first year man forget the main purpose of his coming to College. Restraint in dramatics removes one of the chief
influences that work against real study among the first year men.
In a recent statement by Dr. Naismith on the physical defects found in students, there is a curious coincidence that 4 per cent of the student body have heart defects and 4 per cent of the student body have arm abnormalities.

Prof. Walker Thinks Students Should Attend Summer School
“Students should attend the summer session and thus they could get through the university in about a year less time,” said Prof. A. T. Walker in his chapel talk this morning. “As it is now,” he continued, “the members of the graduating class are older than is best. By getting through quicker they will have a better and earlier start in life. As it is now there are only two occupations in which a person gets three months of vacation. They are the teachers and students. The business and professional men seldom take more than two weeks vacation. Although this may be too short a time for rest, three months is too long. The real reason for the long vacation used to be that the young men had to work on farms. The common explanation now is that the work of studying is trying and so the vacation is necessary.
"As to the professors staying for summer session it is a sacrifice since they should have this time for engaging in research work and the publishing of articles. But under the present conditions many of them have to stay, so they have no time for research work."

Shirt Perfection
If you'll take the trouble to compare, you'll find a wonderful difference between the average showing of men's shirts and our collection of Manhattans. The "class," the "snappiness" and rare blending of colors in Manhattans are features which appeal to the smart dresser on sight because they portray the highest expression of Good Form and True Individuality. We take
pleasure in showing the only full lines of Manhattan in this part of the country regular and extra sizes in all the new midseason effects,
After looking at the ordinary line of Underwear you will be astonished to see the immense variety we carry. There's nothing like it in this community. Absolutely full lines of the best makes on earth and a great demonstration of value-giving at each price, 50c, 75c, $1, $1.50 to $3, union and two-piece Suits.
The Silk Cravats we are specializing at 50c are attracting a lot of buyers. They are the neatest styles, best silks and richest weaves you ever saw at the price. Wash Ties 25c to 50c.
