THE HESPERIAN THE IDEAL AND THE REAL. I saw 'her in the thronging crowd, 'Oh what a form ! What ease ! "What fgranc I Her every movement is a charm; Oh, won't she turn to me her face ? iLike alabaster is, her neck A shame to hide it by that lace 'Oh why can't I get nearer her ? And will she never turn her face? She poses with a goddess charm; In her can be no earthly trace. She must have fallen from the skies; But oh, why won't she turn her 'face? My muse is dead. My angel's fled. A silly girl now takes her place. I'm blind. I'm dumb. She's chewing gum, And she at last has turned her face. ATHLETICS. The wind has the foot-ball 'field all to litsdlf thi8 week while our boys are off rais 'ing 'the dust and making touch-downs in other parts of the western hemisphere. The tonm left home in excellent shape, expocting itoonjoy their western ride of 3,500 iiuIob; and hoping to find time and enough room in thoir spocinl car to stow away each game as they moved along. In the first gamo, at Sioux City, they in du'lgod in numerous touch-downs, and found considerable amusement as the Sioux City Ipapers said in watching that team's futile (attempts at bcoring. While our beys had a walk-away, it is a noticable fact too that no careless playing was done by the toam. Too often such a igamo is marked by fumbleB and indifferent work, but a letter from one of the men states that every one of them was "in the game from start to finish," This trip is just the thing to put our toam in shape for the championship games, and particularly is this so in regard to the new imen who needed just such experience. Missouri will probably bo our strongest 'foe this year, but "Pop" Bliss will have to rustle a husky eleven indeed, if he wrests thoiponnant from us. Kansas, iromombor, 'is Shore iNovorribor 16th, and if we oxpoct to secure more than one game here next year, as some think we should have, we must turn out a big, enthu siastic crowd. Had you hoard about Donne, that academy about thirty milos west of hero at Crete? She scored two touch-downs out of ns last year, nnd is ready to try it again only wo must come down after our spanking tliis time. Doano boat Grinncll and Iowa City both llast week, allowing neither team to score. So we would rather hold the stakes than bet on the score if wo play them. It is hoped that Oury, tackle, and Spoonor at quarter will both don the shin-guard be foro tho soason ib too far gone. The socond eleven have been practicing regularly, with Spoonor as captain, and iloft for Hastings today whore they will mo doubt find a 'hard tussle with tho Y. M. 0. A. 'of that city. ILOCALS.
