glass in his hands before eating it. Possibly
his hands were of the same texture as his
alimentary canal.
Probably the best man on the program
from a scenical standpoint was the Japanese
dwarf.
An account of the program would be in
complete without mention of the quartette.
While showing lack of practico the boys did
very well, and the Delians possess in them
the first requisits of a fine quartette.
On the whole the program was a very
good one and Miss Keziah will receive a
hearty reception if she ever appears here
again.
Song; for Oratorical Contest.
ATHLETICS.
We're all come down to Doanc again to play
another game,
We have not 'leven foot ball men but we'll win
it all the same,
For we've another orator he'll add honor to
our name,
While we are marching to victory.
CHORUS
Harrah, Hurrah, we bring the jubilee,
Hurrah, hurrah, for "Sam" and victory,
For Pinkerton is just the man to do them up,
you'll see,
While we ?rc marching to victory.
How those Doane men boasted of their orator's
renown,
How they filled the country with praise for miles
around,
How they said the'd "overturn" till "Pink"
could not be found,
While we arc marching to victory.
Chorus, Hurrah, etc.
The Uni's dashing Sophomore can never win'thu
prize,
So the saucy Cretans said with feelings of such
si.e,
"Hut I guess not, for they forgot" 'twas only
in their eyes,
While we were marching to victory.
Chorus, Hurrah, etc.
Vcs and there were Uni boys who rent the air
with cheers,
Veiled with such vigor that they made you hold
your cars,
When they saw the Doane rfiens' "House" go
down midst briny tears,
While wc were marching to victory.
Chorus, Hurrah, etc.

In our last issue we expressed the hope
that practice in base ball would be trans
ferred to the campus this week, but the ap
pearance of another "strip" of weather
settles the question. However, the work in
the armory will prove of much value, and
no time is lost even though the weather holds
things oif for some time yet.
After handling the ball for an hour each
day the men take a steady run of ten
minutes and thus bring their "base making"
muscles into action. Most of the men find
themselves a little sore after the hard prac
tice, but are as fresh as ever next day.
Captain Pace has some good ideas on the
development of the arm muscles, and will
have a dozen or more well seasoned men
picked from the many candidates by the first
of April.
At the earliest date possible there will bo a
game with Doanc, not a final test of strength,
but a little exciting exercise to see how the
boys show up.
Young Wilson who made such marked
development last year as a iieldcr will be
more missed than any of the old players.
Randolph intended to play, but is not sure
that ho can spare the necessary time. He
has held down the third bag for three years
and was captain for '!)4, and lias many
friends who would be pleased to see him at
his old place.
It was generally understood last fall that
no foot-ball games would be billed for our
grounds this coming fall. It is now definitely
known that Kansas will go up against us
hero again next fall. Wc may conclude to
amuse ourselves with Doano again this year.
And of course in this caso Mahomet will
come to the mountain. Our usual game on
Thanksgiving with Iowa is of course an
established fact.
The Tonnis Association mot last week and
decided to expend about cno hundred dollars
upon the courts. There will bo four or five
courts with the best tennis fence obtainable
