NOW FOR K. S. A. C.
The little episode on McCook last Saturday was most gratifying. The tangle with Baker the week before had left a suspicion of doubt and apprehension in the minds of a few, and all felt that it was incumbent on the coach and the team to make a good showing against St. Marys. A score of 47 to 0 is an indication of the strength of Kansas and is not an evidence of the weakness of St. Marrys.
Coach Quigley of the Catholics stated before the game that his team was the best the college had produced in eleven years and he predicted an 18 to 0 score with St. Marys holding the big end.
Just how seriously the prophetic prowess of Coach Quigley is to be regarded is not a question at issue, but the one evident and conclusive fact is that Coach Sherwin has produced a team of men who know football from its fundamentals. The game last Saturday was a revelation of what a coach can do in one week.
In answer to the western idea of football that every game on the schedule shall be a victory, he developed his men for the game and the merry pastime with St. Marys was beautiful to behold and a joy forever.
Coach Sherwin and his team have arrived. We have no reason to fear any school in the Missouri valley and there is a strong suspicion among the student body that K. S. A. C. is due for a good drubbing.
WE NEED A SONG.
The need of an original football song was the first thing that impressed a faculty member from the east when he first came to the University. For years we have used the fireside favorites that have grown old in the service of other schools and during these many years there has been no one with enough music or poetry in his soul to compose a football song that is distinctive of this school. "The Crimson and the Blue" is a school song that is

proper in its sentiment for almost any occasion, but its dirgielike solemnity hardly furnishes sufficient enthusiasm during a football game.
If there is anyone in school who would be a benefactor to the University, he should compose a "football song. It is needed and it is needed badly. The students ought to pride themselves on having something original and not be content with a mere appropriation of the songs of another school.
The fly in the ointment this year appears to be Nebraska. With a whirlwind start they have been beating their opponents by large scores and appear to be getting stronger every game. Last Saturday the Kansas Aggies were humiliated to the tune of 59 to 0 and Nebraska intimates that she didn't half try. Next Saturday we meet the Aggies and some reliable dope can then be obtained. The Cornbuskers have a team this year made up for the most part of "N" men and we know what they were last year.
Slogan for today: We want a football song.
Work Has Taken Him Through Southern Kansas.
RALPH SPOTTS RETURNS
TO HELP THE STATE
Ralph Spotts, field secretary for the University Extension Bureau, has just returned from a trip through the southern part of the state where he has been explaining the system of lecture courses which the University is offering. Each course consists of six lectures to be given at regular intervals through the winter on some special subject. Several towns have expressed a willingness to take one of the courses but have not decided definitely which one.
Prof. C. A. Dykstra will go to Clay Center October 17 to talk on "Municipal Problems," Prof. W. L. Burdick to Atchison October 20 to talk on "Nathan Hale" and Prof. C. G. Dunlap to Olathe, October 27 with a lecture on "The Great Novelists."
Wisconsin Plan May be Adopted By University.
At a recent meeting in Topica the preliminary plans to widen the scope of the University in the state were arranged. Chancellor Strong, Governor Stubbs, several members of the Board of Regents of the University and Prof. R. R. Price, head of the extension department, will leave soon for Wisconsin, where they will study the methods now used in the University of Wisconsin.
Chancellor Strong, the Governor and the Regents will go to Wisconsin at the same time and probably will attend the conference. The party may visit other schools on the trip, Iowa and Minnesota at least.
Professor Price goes to Madison to attend a conference of heads of extension departments. It is the plan now to get the meeting of the conference at the University of Kansas next year.
