QUIT KICKING
This week is to decide whether or not the student body is going to stand behind the team and the coach. In every University there are always a number of students who use the hammer on every thing that does not go to suit them. This University is no exception. Right now one can pick out a few students who refuse to be reconciled over the defeat by Oklahoma and who see only humiliation and disgrace in Nebraska's victory over us.
As a direct cause of all this downfall of football hopes, is named Coach Sherwin. He is held responsible for everything that has gone wrong and these same knockers are already planning on who will coach our team next year.
There was never a greater unfairness shown any man. Coming from the east with no knowledge of the situation here, he has been expected to produce an ever-victorious team from a bunch of men, the majority of whom know only the bare fundamentals of football.
Give the team and the coach a chance. The great majority of the student body are as strong in their support of the team as ever, but it is the persistent knocking of a few people that make an unpleasantness to the team, the coach, and the student body. What the people at the University need is to have about three years of successive defeats in athletics. Maybe then a winning team would be appreciated.
AND YET AGAIN
The unexpected did not happen. Since the beginning of the football season the Nebraska team has been considered the most likely candidate for the championship of any team in the conference. Their victory over the Tigers gave them a good boost but their tie with Ames took some of the wind out of their sails. Their decisive defeat of Kansas will probably make
them the undisputed champions of the valley.
Coach Steihm has a wonderful team. Trained to the minute, experienced in all the tricks and science of the game, heavy and heady, they completely overwhelmed their lighter opponents. Kansas has nothing to regret. The team played with every ounce of strength that it could give and in view of the elephantine proportions of the Cornhuskers it is remarkable that they did as well as they did.
Nebraska has a team of giants; from tackle to tackle they average over 190 pounds. Nebraska has a team of speed fiends; their back field is the fastest ever seen on MeCook. Nebraska has a team of men who are past masters of the art of holding. When one considers that eleven penalties for holding were assessed—and goodness knows how many times more they offended—it is easily seen how great an advantage one team may have over another when they use this illegal practice.
The Cornhuskers beat us and that just about tells the story.
RICORD TO STUDY LAW
Ed. Ricord, the barber who was made the goat of the tar party at Shady Bend last August, and who has pleaded guilty, has taken up the study of law under the tutorship of W. W. McCanles, the prosecuting attorney of Lincoln county. His course includes two years instruction under the Lincoln county attorney, to be followed by enrollment in the School of Law at the University of Kansas.
Well, won't that be just lovely?
Victims of Street Car Accident Regain Strength.
INJURED ARE RECOVERING
Those who were severely injured in the street car accident a week ago last Saturday are slowly improving and will attend classes in a few days.
Miss Eda Hinchman is much better and will probably be able to attend classes next Monday.
Prof. J. P. Trickey is still confined at the home of Dr. I V Redman. He is slowly improving but it will be several days be fore he will be able to be cut.
Forest C. Walden who was very seriously injured has gone to his home in Newton where he will probably remain until the latter part of next week.
TOULANE PLAYS CUBANS.
Will Have International Football Game on Christmas.
Toulane University, Louisiana will probably participate in an international football game this year. The Athletic Club of Havana, Cuba, sent an invitation for a football game to be played in Havana on Christmas day, and in all probability, the game will be played. In 1907 these two teams played at Havana and the Cubans were defeated.
KICKS.
--the head of our only bass drum (as was one Friday morning) it will be far more appreciated. It costs $16.00 to replace both heads, and although we can stand the replacement twice, this third time within a year gives our finances a purple color.
It isn't customary for the band to talk back, but occasionally the strain reaches a certain mark, at which we too become human and kick. Now we don't mind being called on to do our part at all the rallies, conventions, and general demonstrations. We are willing to sit in silence for two hours listening to students day speeches while four-fifths of the student body are privileged to leave at their pleasure. We can stay in Lawrence to play for commencement a week after most vacations have begun;—it is a part of our business,—our biweekly contribution for the good of our school and we are glad to do our share at athletic contests; but we hate to be made monkeys on account of our looks. We make no claims to beauty, and only suggest that if your eyes hurt them.
For a time longer than most of you can remember the band has arrayed itself in heavy moth-eaten uniforms of red and blue which are without exception under sized and misfit. After a year of saving in which $60.00 was accumulated we ordered these "boy scout creations." Director McCanles advanced the money ($180.00) necessary for buying them out of his own pocket, with the prospect of having to wait at least two years without interest for the last of it to be repaid to him. Exactly forty uniforms were ordered during the summer for forty unknown men, and naturally some of the forty do not fit. It is impossible to fit an ever changing band without a number of extra suits. We needed uniforms, and did the best we could under the circumstances. They are cheap, certainly, because we are trying to pay for them without asking for subscriptions from the student body, and if you don't like them perhaps you know a solution. Leggins would improve the appearance of the suit decidedly, and at the present rate we may be able to purchase them year after next.
If anyone leans toward the suggestion that the University should buy uniforms, as other Universities do, we merely suggest that he try his luck. It will not take him long to get all the information he needs. The band has a hard time getting even a room in which to practice.
In closing may we suggest that if some of the very enthusiastic would unload their "pep" in some way other than smashing
If anyone thinks band trips are a solace for all sorrow, let him also seek information, and he may discover that the joy of being on duty nine out of ten hours isn't what it is cracked up to be. He may also be surprised to learn that the band boys always pay a part of their expenses on these trips.
