THE : HJC8PKKIAN k some of your victories (?) For instance, if you recollect. Dear Quill, the Iowa State Oratorical As'sn accepted your resignation "with great pleasure" in 1892. And didn't the "little colleges" western pigmies, under stand send your orator down to about ninth place in 1801. And since yon have been with the "Big Universities" of the East, has your orator ever gotten above fourth place? And what about the I. I. C. A. A.? lias not Grinnell taken that longed for "cup" to be her own? How are you in the track athletics anyhow? Have you beaten Rush yet? And say, would it not be a pious idea for you to get a clear title to the Football championship in Iowa before breaking in so suddenly upon Yale and Chicago and Minnesota Universities? And is your memoiy sti jng enough to recall that gama with Kansas? Was it rG to 0? Or are we dreaming? And then at Omalut in 189G, how many days did it take you to de feat Nebraska? And would you kindly tell us what the score at Council Bluffs was last fall? You figure well, Dear Quill, and since you do will you please calculate your exact position in the athletic world? Tell us your exact position in track athletics, in oratory and football. And, say, did you not meet Nebraska in baseball last May? And was not the score 14 to 9, and that on your own ground? Do j'ou really think there is danger that you may 'jeopardize" your position in athletics. If so, pray tell us what you have in store to put in jeopardy. The wails you have been uttering would not indicate that it is money. Say, Quill, is it not mostly braggadocio? Be honest now and tell us truly, are jou not whistling somewhat to keep your courage up? Have jrou ever been troubled with swelling of the capital appendage? Arc you qufte confi dent that you had not been to see the "Cherry Sisters" the night proceeding the writing of that editorial? We leave thee now.
