School in which the score stood 800
in favor OF the "U". These football
games are all very much alike and a
description of one gives a person q
fair opinion OF any. In describing a
game Of football Il spectator says;
1.-The handsome youths attack one
another. tread upon one another,
they bruise, they wound, they dislo.
cate the joints of one another, they
break each other's| noses, they kill one

out Il gladiator. his face red with
blood, his nip sprained, his hair
matted, and his clothing soiled with
the mud, made of dust and blood.
Hurrah! Princeton has beaten Yale!
The surgeons carry the bruised and
wounded to the hospitals, and fifty
thousands souls. among them the
adorable women who, at a ball.
faint at the perfume of flowers, here
burst out with a shout tremendous,
deafening any savage"
But there was none such rough
playing at the game last Saturday.
The university men are saving their
strength and building up muscle for
their slaughter of the University of
Wisconsin players in the game to he
played here November 16.
T. We freshmen are having All excit-
ing time at present over the election
of our class officers which takes
place this week. The students who
are residents of Minneapolis held a
caucus and selected their, ticket and
propose to run the class. But the

and several other large cities, and
those from the country, have united
and will proceed to ''do up" Mime

Yet outside Of party strife and
football interest, work lat the uni
yersity IL running along harmo-
niously. The number Of students has
increased considerably since last
year. The number of freshmen is es-
timated at about 400 and the total
enrolment including medical and
agricultural students is expected to
reach $500.
The university comprises eight
large buildings and several smaller
ones. besides the agricultural college

III this fail of drill hall which will
be modelled after the old Norman
castle Of early England. The d.
mentions will be 22Ox12O feet, and the
main room, 22OxSO feet will be used
as drilling place for the cadets. At
present the drilling is done on the
campus; there are five companies
consisting of from sixty to seventy
five members each. The movements
OF this body of blue-uniformed
students. if done together as they
will be after little practice, are an
attractive sight and draw many
spectators to the scene,
The opening day Of the classes and
the closing day of registration are
always a verdant sight. The mex
perienced freshies run about hunting
up their. different buildings and
classes, and it is no uncommon sight
to see a drawing student in the
chemical laboratory, or sanitary
science worker in the dissect-
ing room of the medical college.
But after a few days they become
accustomed to their work and it is
then really pleasure to attend the
university.

writing on one side of the paper only.
I have heard that Moses was an
editor, or at least, had the making
OF an editor in him; for Exodus,
chapter 80, verses 1910 say: "And
Moses turned and went down from
the mount, and the tables OF the
testimony were in his hand; the
tables were written on both their
sides, on the one side and on the
other were they written.-AndM Moses
anger vaxed hot, and he cast the
tables out Of his hands. and broke
them beneath the mount"
j. Therefore, lest your anger wax hot
I have written on one side only.
