Universities to Study
Campus.
The Board of Regents of the Univer
sity met in the chancellor's office Mon
day evening to consider several mat-
ters requiring immediate attention.
iA farewell letter from Regent Allen
was received and instructions were
given the Chancellor to formulate the
sentiments that were informally ex
pressed, highly appreciative of Regent
Allen's long and distinguished service.
Especial emphasis was placed on the
very great value of his legal service
which has been rendered gratuitously
to the University and would have cost
private corporations having similar in
terests at stake very large sums. The
fact of his absolute integrity, his dis
interestedness, his wisdom, tactfulness
and constantly courteous and concilia
tory attitude towards all his col
leagues was brought out. Further the
Regents directed the Chancellor to se
cure if possible from Mr. Allen permis
sion to publish his farewell letter, 4s j
in their opinion it was a document of
great value to the University and the
state.
The Chancellor presented with, his
endorsement the request that the Re
gents endorse a proposition to pave
the road south and east of the Univer
sity Farm connecting it with the city
paving and that of University Place.

ELECTION SPEAKS AT FARM.
MAKES PLEA FOR EDUCATION
Regent Haller Introduced Speaker
Dean Burnett and Prin. Bradford
Pay Tribute to Coupland't
Work.
In a somewhat reminiscent mood
Tuesday morning Regent George Coup
land, recently defeated candidate for
re-election, spoke to the students at
the University Farm on education, the
University, and his connection with
it. He was introduced by Regent
Frank L. Haller who reviewed Mr.
Coupland's work for the institution
and paid a tribute to his services.
Regent Coupland urged the students
at the University Farm to feel a close
relationship to the University as a
whole even though the defeat of Uni
versity removal has made it impossi
ble for the city and farm students to
be educated on a single campus.
Toward the close of his speech,
marked more by an appeal for educa
tion, high ideals, and higher salaries
for the faculty, than comment on the
election, removal, and his work as re
gent, he said:
""'I want to say this it is more of a
personal nature I probably won't
have the opportunity to address you
again officially that the privilege of
service upon the board of regents af
fords one of the greatest opportuni
ties that the state has to offer and I
think it is one of the best paid offices.
How important it is to provide the
things that have the loftiest ideals. So
I want to voice this sentiment, that

AUTHORITIES SAY NO
BUMMING SATURDAY
Announcement Made Yesterday The
Players Must Have Rest Too
Many Dangers.
Humming with the football team
will be absolutely prohibited accord
ing to Assistant Director of Athletics
Guy E. Reed. On the Manhattan trip
some of the ' loyal ones" found it a
pretty tough" proposition to be boot
ed off in the yards or in some little
burg along the way.
The athletic department pays for
the very best accommodations for the
football men in order that they may
get the right kind of rest while travel
ing. No student who has thought very
seriously about the matter wishes to
be so "loyal" that he should disturb
the rest of any of the men and lessen
the chances of victory by so doing.
To the thoughtful it is certainly mis
placed loyalty.
There Is another side to the matter.
If a student is injured while "bum-
mins" his way to one of the big games
it places a blot on football and on the
school that no explanation can erase.
The athletic board at its meeting
Monday night discussed the "would-be
Weary Willies" at length. It was the
unanimous opinion that the practice
must be discouraged if football is to
hold its place in the University and In
the minds of the public.

SCORE TWO TOUCHDOWNS USING
HAWKEYE PLAY8
SCRUBS SCORE TWICE, ALSO
Forward Passes, Hawkins to Caley,
Net One Hundred Yards for the
Second Team Varsity vs.
Freshmen Today.
By II. I. Kyle
The few fortunate fans who fared
to the football field yesterday were
given a royal treat in the form of a
real bona fide game between the
freshmen and the second team. After
a strenuous two-hour drill Monday, In
a game as the Hawkeyes play it, the
unsophisticated Harmonites trotted
onto the. gridiron, swelling with con
fidence. On the other hand, the scrubs
assumed an air of quiet modesty,
blended with an atmosphere of grim
determination.
Hawkins, of the second team, re
ceived the kick-off and returned the
ball twenty yards. Doyle bucked the
line for two yards. Porter smashed
off' tackle for five more, and Selzer
made first down. The frosh defense
stiffened and held the scrubs, taking
the ball on downs. They then Hawk
eyed their way down the field to a
touchdown. It was plain that their
confidence was based on something
tangible.
Again the scrubs received the kick
off, which, being a short kick, went
to the mighty Halberslaben, center
for the second-stringers, who hesi
tated a moment, and then, clasping
his prize to his bosom, he diyed into
the luxuriant blue-grass, where he
sought to hide from the onrushing
freshmen. The scrubs then cut
loose with a dazzling display of open

Why Not a Study TableT
A man living in Columbia, Missouri,
has invented a dining table with a
revolving central part on "-which the
dishes containing the different articles
of food are placed. Each person
seated helps himself to what he wishes
by merely revolving the movable part
until what he wishes comes In front
of him. A student taking rhetoric 13
has suggested that such an arrange
ment would make a convenient study
table.
