, The opportunity offered by Professor
tyees of the university to students de
siring to take a European tour during
the coming summer should attract a
large number of young men. The cost
of the trip lias been reduced to a mini
mum compared to the number of plaeps
that are to be visited. This is only
rendered possible by the experience
which Dr. Lops has already had in this
line. He has made several trips al
ready, all of which were h'.ghly success
ful. We feel sure that the desired num
ber of students will appear for this
trip within a few days.
, One more gume remains for our team
this season. From the present outlook
It v,ill be one of the most brilliant con
tests of the season. Not that Grinnell
has a team able to cope with the Uni
versity of Iowa eleven, but for the rea
son that it promises to be a kicking
contest throughout. Wheeler of Grin
nell has a record second only to that of
Benedict among all of tho teams of tho
west. As the matter appears on pallor,
Wheeler is stronger on place kicks
than on punts, and It is probable that
Benedict will surpass him easily on this
latter point. On the other hand, If the
past records of tho two teams are crl
terlons, It will not be safe for either
team whose thirty-yard line Is crossed.
A large crowd should attend this con
test In Omaha on Thanksgiving day
and lend Its support to the team, not
only at critical moments, but through
out tho game. V
Wo have noticed in various ex
changes that efforts are being put forth
in several different places to start tro
phy rooms. To tho knowledge of the
editors no such an attempt has over
been made here, although tho custom Is
ojd In several eastern Institutions.
After a llttlo consideration, wo feel

The death or another foot ball player
a few days ago has again awakened
more or loss comment over the coun
try. In the University of Iowa, where
the accident happened, foot ball games,
were canceled for a length of time. It
Is the same old story that has been
heard for the past few years about the
brutality of the game. Comment
scarcely seems to be necessary upon
tho situation in Iowa, but a few words
upon class foot ball in general may not
be amiss. We believe that class games
should have some restriction placed
upon them, and that only men passed
upon by an athletic trainer or a phy
sician used to examination of athletes
fliould be allowed to enter the game.
The death of the player at the Univer
sity of Iowa was due purely to the fact
that he was not in a physical condition
to stand the wear and tear of a hard
game. He had been warned by the
head of the department of athletics not
to go into a game, yet he had done so
at his own risk. Further than that, it
is stated by physicians that it was not
entirely the blow received at the time
that ho was carried from tho field that
killed him. Theso things should he
consideied before any opinions are
passed as to the cause of h's death.
With some check upon students to keep
them from entering Into games at tho
wrong time fewer fatalities would re
sult. It Is a fact that It Is not the stu
dents who are In training that are in
jured in the games, but those who piny
without sufficient training. In fact, a
large number of the deaths and serious
accidents occur in high and prepara
tory schools and small colleges, whore
there is no chance to get training nec
essary. We extend our sympathies to
the faculty and students of the Univer
sity of Iowa, as well as to the parents
of the gentlemnn.
In the last Issue of the Drake univer
sity Delphic considerable space is
given up In explanation or how It hap
pened that Nebraska could win from
that Institution In foot ball. By actual
count they find a majority of their
team laid up with injuries. Several
other things aro set forth very strongly
and upon tho whole a vory credible
statemont Is made. It may ho that
they are right In what thoy say, but It
Is our opinion that they lost the game
because Nebraska outplayed them by
straightforward foot ball. That is tho
conclusion reached by nil tho Dns
Moines pnpors In the, criticism of the
game on tho morning after It was
played. "Wo aro willing to give Drake
credit for a plucky fight, but not credit
for winning a gamo that does not prop-

erly belong to them. In another col
umn of the same Issue tho Delphic
quotes from the Nebraskan-Hesperian,
showing the decision of the Nebraska
athletic board in regard to profession
alism in that institution. In conclu
sion they speak as follows: "It should
be noted that the above decision was
reached through an Investigation or
fncti rather than from the standpoint
of po'ley. What Is convincing evidence
to the University of Nebraska ought to
be worthy of consideration by certain
schools of lesser prominence. We
await the time when the people 'of Iowa
know the difference between a crusade
for pure athletics and a combination
for boycott and personal defense." As
we stated in a previous Issue, we think t
that the Institutions of Iowa are mak

I the chances of the university for win

view taken by the smaller colleges 01
not. It Is true that It Is tho result. With
this end In vlow, tho Nebraska asso
elation has concluded that the only
proper course Is to withdraw from tin
Btato association and to form a larger
and better one. to be composed of instl
tutions of somewhat nearer equal rani'
and with a unity of purpose. It is tin
desire of the colleges to cultivate a pol

an audience without sufficient regard
to thought. On the other hand, 'state
