There is a splendid opponunity for another literary society in the University. All that is required to make it successful iB push and energy of the right sort. In our opinion, the failure of the Philomathinns may bo attributed to the ri diculous method of procedure used last year when it was organized. It was a literary or g.inization established on a religious basis. This combination never works. The society this year was composed entirely of boys coining from the preparatory school. Had the girls only taken an interest in the society it would not have disbanded. There' must be loadstones in our literary societies. This is a distinctly athletic issue. Noth ing,but athletics count this time of year. The foot ball games have taken up a great deal of room, as foot ball games have a way of doing, and we have been forced to expand to twenty pages. Even with this increase in size we are compelled to omit several articles that ought to appear, and among them .the Y. W. C. A. column. We are very sorry about this, for they had prepared an exceed ingly interesting column, but it came in late and foot ball was her& before it. We hope the association will pardon this omission, and we promise to do better in the future, but just now we must repeat Tom Paine's words, slightly modified, and say, "Camp is our creed, and foot ball our religion." We are deeply indebted to Mr. A. M. Troyer for his report of the Baker game. If the Baker club makes a practice of carry ing their umpire with them it is no wonder that they have won so many games this sea son. The game Saturday was conclusive proof of the superiority of our team over Baker's. Had it not been for umpire Toomey, who plays full back upon the Baker team, wo could have another victory recorded for us. If the umpire had been a disinterested party we might not have so much cause to com plain, but when the visiting club stands up as they did, to have one of their own men act as umpire, we register ti kick. Something, a little more Ohristian-liko is expected of the "Littlo Ministers" from Baker. Wheu they play "Salvation" and "Kock of Ages" against our Nebraska sinew, we hate to soe jmm5SwSwmiiiiiii 1 mm iiiii .11 iiiyiBiwiftifjwwiWiiiMwip
