THE HESTKRIAN.
Representatives of Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, and Missouri
universities met at Kansas City, December aS, and formed the
Western Interstate Foot Hall Association. Curtis Hill of
Missouri was elected president of the association and C. 1 ).
Chandler, Nebraska's representative, was made secretary. A
great deal of enthusiasm was shown at the meeting and no
pains will lc spared to make the league permanent. The U,
of X. will play her first game with Missouri at Omaha, Novem
ber 5. The last game will also lie played at Omaha, Xovcm
lcr 24, with Iowa. The game with Kansas avHI le played at
Lincoln, Xovemlcr 12. Ity this arrangement the university
learn will not have to go outside the state to play. It remains
to he seen now whether the university has enough enthusiasm
now to begin this work -with a will. One thing is sure if we
expect to compete with these other states more systematic
coaching and work all around must he had. If each one
would do his part no one would have to sacrifice his -school
work for foot ball. But if nearly all stand hack and wait for
one or two to exhort and entreat and work and "stew" 1o get
men out to practice there will -not he much hope for us.
The question now is, will the base hall spirit that has been
slumbering for nearly two years be awakened in the spring?

heiotyJts, and pen and ink sketches, all in the
Ufighest style of the printer's art., Also a complete record of
Jill -importnnt events in the life of our university, a history of
each class, a biography of the chancellor and of the deans of
rthe various departments, a list of members of the foot ball,
Imse ball, tennis, bicycle, and boarding clubs, etc., ad ho.
Just the thing to send to your friend nnd to keep for refer
ence. It will be a volume of whichevery student and friend"
oftthe university will be proud. Itwillbe becond to noipubli-(
-cation of its kind east or west. No pains or expense will 'be

As is the custom in other colleges, the annual will be pub
lished on the co-operative plan as regards designs, photos,
sketches, cartoons, etc. Each society and organization will
be expected to pay for any engravings as sketches that it ne
wish to insert in the space allotted to it. We. hope to sec a
great deal of pleasant rivalry between the various societies and
clubs each vicing with the other to produce elegant and appro
priate material. That's the way to get a first class publication
and the only way to get the classes, clubs, and societies
worked up to such a degree of enthuisasm and class pride that
they will not hesitate at expense or labor to make their share
of the book do them credit and gain them glory. The expense
will be but trifling when divided among the many who will
share it.
Tut on your thinking caps, seniors, juniors, sophs, freshies,
society-club-athletic-men, women and children and see to
it that the Sombrero when it comes out next May paints you
and the institution in glorious, unfading colors.
A number of enthusiastic students and .outside friends of
the university have already offered donations of money to
assist the managers in this undertaking. Any assistance of this
kind will be A'cry acceptable.
The price will not exceed $1.00 per copy to be paid when
book is .delivered. How many will you take?

who will gladlv furnish anv further information.

How long, O Flippln, will 1 abuse, the professor's
patience? How long am I to have those miserable goo'.e
eggs after my name on the register? To what end is my
unbridled ignorance to display itself? Do not the daily
flunks, the audacious cutting glances of the professor sur
rounded by his ponies, (i. e. lit. tran.) and his aids, does not
his looks, when he glances towards me move you at all? Do
you not perceive that my laziness is uncovered. Do you not
sec that my plan of action is held fast bound by his know
ledge? Do you not think be is ignorant of what T did last
night, what the night before, where I was, wnat my scheme
was for eluding recitation?
O what a time! O what customs'! I come to class. I
pick out and designate Tor reference, the best equestrians in
the class. The professor knows it. The class see it. Yet
I pass. Pass, may, even more I expect to be Fresh next year.
