THE HESPERIAN
selves for the admiring gaze of the pub
lie, and nil our nonentities always conceal
themselves and say nothing for fear of
giving the school a bad name nit!
We don't howl down eminent orators;
We don't drink beer for two consecutive
years- and "ox it" to graduate. Over at
Yale, you know, the whole school turns
out, occasionally, to insult a prominent
man. The whole school must have turn
ed out, "digs" and all; for the noise in
dicated it, so of course Yale, Old Yale,
did it all. That is logical. In Germany,
the students do little but drink beer; and
hee each other into sausage.
How glad we are that we are not as
thev are.
MY LOVE.
0 Miifj ye bin's! O burst, ye buds!
U wing, ye trembling chut!
0 dance, ye fairy papery poppies,
To the music of my boating heart!
My love is near.
If all tliebhclsiuall the world
Were -iuging on one hough,
They could not nng the madding joy.
My heait is knowing now
My loves is here.
THE PASSING OF SCYLD.
Key Id,. son of the ea,
('nulled and rocked to rest
On her drowsy mother hi east.
Lonely thy craft came in;
lonely thy sail had been;
So should thy going be.
,,:l1 ider thy crown,
Lulled by the dizzy reel
Of the wave beneath the keel,
Strange that you wished a grave
Itoekecl by the changing wave
Out on the sea alone.
Now could thy coming trace;
None knew thy hn w. or kin
Thou that the tide swept in;
Thou by the sea wind blown
Out to the wide unknown.
There is thy resting place.

On her drowsy mother breast,
lonely my craft came in,
Lonely my jife ha )Con,
How shall my going boy

Athletics.
The foot-ball season at this place will
open at M St. park on Saturday Oct. 17,
at 3 p. m. The Donne team will be hero
in all theii glory and with all their usual
confidence. We know what it is to be
beaten by Doane and our boys will-exert
their brain, muscle and ingenuity to the
utmost to avert sueli a catastrophe. Wo
will have nowalk-a-way however. Doane
is fortunate in having most of her old
men back. Lee, Fisher, Reasonor,
Houston, you know what they generally
do on the gridiron. They will do it on
Saturday if we don't play ball. Then
they have our old coach Thomas and he
will make a desperate attempt to show
us a good time. Our boys are doing
good work now. Several new men have
boon coming out this week. The mighty
Turner was seen in the push the first of
the week and a shout of joy went up
from the throats of the on-lookers, and
the coach chuckled. It was announced
last week that Hansen would probably
have to leave school on account of the
failure of his father's bank, but arrange
ments have beon made for him to stay,
and he is still filling up a pretty large gap
in the line. Votaw is another new man
who looks powerful but the best thing is,
he's twice as powerful as he looks. Tf
you stav away from tho park on Satur
day you'll miss a pretty game and a close
game. There is but one thing that
would make the boys play harder and
the management feel happier, than for
overv man in the Uni. to turn out. That
thing is, for every man to turn out and
bring a fair admirer of the game with
him. Now don't yon be out of your
proper place the 17th.
At a meeting of the team Wednesday
evening, Orlie Thorpe was elected cap
tain. The selection is a good one. Thorpe
is one of the best players we have and
keeps his head remarkably. Ho has been
playing on the team for two years and
first distinguished himself by his magnifi
cent run in the Kansas game of '95.
Come to the game.
Will Dungan, one of our last years
heavy men is in town and will take in
tho game.
Doan' yo' stay away, now.
