COACH SHERWIN AND THE TEAM.
Football practice has been in progress for over a week and the work of the new coach has been given a thorough inspection. A consensus of opinion of the tryouts is that if the coach is as good a tactician as he is a drill master. Kansas will have the greatest team in its history of football. The method of work-out started by the coach in which every man is made to be in action every moment while on the field, is perhaps strenuous but is sure to get results. The statement by the coach at the rally last evening that because of the hard schedule it will be necessary to have twenty-five seasoned men, is borne out by his field tactics. If any try-out wishes to rest he has to do it while standing up. The high esteem in which the coach is held by every try-out bespeaks a healthy condition of athletics.
The advent of Coach Sherwyn and his assistant from Dartmouth heralds the dawn of a new era in athletics. The influx of eastern methods of coaching has infused new blood in our system of athletic development and the outtools for a winning team is the brightest in years. A willing harmonious and well trained team having all possible confidence in the coach, is sure to bring all the laurels to Kansas this year.
A past generation of college politicians will suffer seventeen different kinds of agony to note the long steps being taken by the Student Council in their elimination of "plum getting" at the University. With a senior class meeting called for Monday and the probable decision that the manager of the Annual shall forthence be a position that pays in honor only, we see one of the highest honor in school placed in its right position. It is not right that the manager of the Annual be allowed to make a year's salary off the sale of the books. It is not right to the manager that he be made to take a great pecuniary risk without adequate compensation, if the project is not a success. The logical solution is to make the manager of the Annual a position of honor and if there are any profits or losses let them be borne by the class.
Again the student body has been shown the desirability of the formation of literary societies in the University. Chancellor Strong in his annual address yesterday spoke of the growing needs of organization and stated that the fraternities are meeting their part as well as possible but that in this school literary societies were absolutely nil.
The rejuvenation of the Cooley club is a step in the right direction. Thorough parliamentary drill is essential to every successful man and the prevalent idea in the past that University debating and literary societies smack too much of the high school, is false. In past years in the College the

A short business meeting of the Quill Club will be held Monday afternoon at 4:30 in Fraser hall.
Snow Literary society, XYZ, and Adelphic debating societies have been dominant factors in school life. Their revival will accomplish something much needed in this school.
Tomorrow the University will be host to the highest executive of the greatest nation of the world. The University and the city of Lawrence will east aside all factional politics and will strive to give a hearty and wholesome welcome to the noted guest. The University is fortunate in obtaining President Taft to speak before the student body and it is incumbent on the latter to show their appreciation by observing the request of the Chancellor that there be no applause. Tomorrow will see the first public gathering of the student body and may it be such that it presages the most loyal one that the University has ever seen.

Fred Winter '10, former high hurdler and holder of the University record while he was in school and Wm. Thiele, both of whom are with the General Electric Co. of Schenectady, N. Y., are at the University visiting friends. Winter is working in the test department of the factories and Thiele is in the company's offices.
Winter is quite enthusiastic about his work and states that this company, which is one of the largest of its kind in the United States, takes more men from the Missouri Valley than from any other section of the country.
