FOOTBALLERS PLAY
GAME OF SOCCER
The wintry winds of yesterday,
whirling around and through the
rather abbreviated costumes of the
football men, caused Coach Ruther
ford to put them through a hard drill
at soccer football. The association
game enabled the men to warm their
blood as they butted the sphere with
their heads or kicked it lustily with
their feet and legs. About thirty
men were ready for the matinee par
ty when practice time came around,
and they put in a most profitable ses
sion for several hours.

PHI PSIS DEFEAT SIG EPS
Phi Kappa Psi won from Sigma Phi
Epsilon Tuesday evening at Twenty
second and J streets, by a score of
8 to 6. The game was almost any
body's battle all the way through, the
two teams playing fairly even. A
threatened rally by the Sig Epa that
would have tied the score was stop
ped by a catch by Penney. The hit
ting of Cook featured the game, he
making four hits out of as many
trips to the plate.

"There are now more than 140 col
leges and normal schools and 250
newspapers using simplified spelling.
This includes fifteen state universities
and papers of all sizes from the Chi
cago Post to small weeklies. Practi
cally every Illinois paper uses simpli
fied spelling, as the result of the en
auiSenient of the system by the Illi
nois Press association.
"The simplified spelling movement
is progressing satisfactorily. I do not
know that anything will be done right
away. There are many advocates of
simplified spelling in the faculty, who
understand the proposition thorough
ly. President Wilbur is favorable to
the movement.
"I have talked at 200 institutions in
thirty-five states on the subject and
by the end of the week shall have vis
ited practically every college on the
Pacific coast. Reed college, at Port
land, endorsed the movement several
years ago. and simplified spelling is
used entirely there." Daily Palo Alto.
THE NEW MILITARY SYSTEM
SIMPLIFIED SPELLING
That simplified spelling is not a rad
ical change from the present system
of orthography as many people sup
pose, but is simply a sensible use of
letters of the language according to
their sound, is the stand of George
H. Danton, Pacific coast representa
tive of the simplified spelling board
of New York. Danton, who io now a
nrofessor of German at Reed college,
was formerly a member of the Stan-,
ford faculty. He spoke last night in
the chapel on "Simplified Spelling.
"The simplified spelling board sends
me out as a field agent to get people
to use the forms of spelling given in
the dictionaries. The spelling I ad
vocated would not be very different
from that regularly used. It Is not a
radical change from the present sys
tem, but simply & xurve intelligent use
of our alphabet," said Professor Dan
ton today.
"The old order changeth," and so
does military drill. No longer do the
underclassmen spend two weary aft
ernoons a week in current rehearsing
of "column left," "port arms-," "for
ward march," and "squads right, one,
two, three, four, five, step." No long
er is the military department officially
unconscious of the fact that blue dress
uniforms are uncomfortable. And
with these changes, because of them
and others, we find that the attitude
