r 8 THE HESPERIAN i toaclios tho intolligont control of the body, but that in tho training season at loast it permits of no dissipation. That much is oxpoctod of tho team. Tho faculty and student body believe that, and believing it give their support to tho team. But their faith would bo really shakon if they knew how slight the limitations have, been the past season, and how tho common rules of training have been violated. Captain Wilson has proven himself a successful captain. Ho conformod to tho recognized rules of training, and kept tho good will of his men to tho end. Mr. Whipple's management has been good with tho possible exception that ono or two minor games might bettor have been loft oil' tho schedule; but ho recognizes this fact, and only scheduled thoso games with the best interests of tho team at heart. Our selection of a coach this year was truly Unfortunate. Tho management no doubt recognizes this fact, and in the select ion of a coach for tho coming year, will choose a man who is above petty jealousy, and who is himself an example in tho matter of training. "Rif! Raf! Ruff!! Rif! Raf! Ruff!! Doano's eleven is pretty hot stuff!" KOHO. Do-do-do-ra-mi! M-m-m-u-d! M-m-m u u-u d-d-d!!! 0-24. That was Doane. "Rah! Rah! Rah? Boom-te-ra! Iowa College! I-o-w-a!" KOHO. U-u-u-n-n. His nose is cold! Hoar him cry. O-o-o! M-m-y! 0-24. That was us. Cameron, Shuo, Harry Jones and Dean Gardner played with tho Omaha University club at Donvor, Thanksgiving Day. They say they were treated royally. We played high class foot-ball with Missouri and Doane. If tho striped bipeds of New Jersey want a brush with us next year they will be accommodated. The financial condition of tho association is good. A team should be put in practice early next fall. A captain for next .year will bo chosen soon. Let us keep up our record in that respect. Ho must bo able to promote good fooling among his men. Ho must be a man who will train. THE PALLADIAN FEED. Delightful Social Affair at the University. It is a time honored custom of tho Palla dian literary society of tho Univorsity to celebrate tho Thanksgiving season by hav ing an informal "spread" or "food" as tho ravenous studonts havo always called it. This was originally intonded to roconcilo tho forlorn Palladians who could not go homo for thanksgiving, but tho attractions of this annual event have becomo so strong as almost to mako amends for tho loss of mother's mince pies and turkoys, and most mombors of tho socioty stay horo till after tho fca&t. No univorsity gathoring of tho year has given itsolf up so thoroughly to good humor and jolity as tho largo crowd of Palladians and frionds who gathered in their hall Wednesday night for a good time generally and a feast especially. Tho early part of the evening was spent chiefly in games, tho platform being provided with tabtas for crokinolo iish pond, and other games. Shortly aftor 9 tho president, Miss Emma Boose, called tho socioty to order for a short program as follows: Recitation Hugh Walker Vocal solo "A Mathematical Sign" Mr. Albers Original poem Mr. Piper "Some Old Pali Times" T. 1' . A. Williams At tho close of this program Miss Booso in a few fitting words oxproBsod tho rogrot of tho whole socioty in tho loss of an able membor, Miss Margaret Hall, who leaves soon to make her homo in Now York. A largo bouquot of roses tied with chocolate and cream ribbons, tho Palladian colors, was presented to Miss Hall. Tho master of ceremonies thenjappoarod
