Columbia, No, Dec. 16.-Two of the
most distinguished football advocates
in America, President Jesse of Missouri
university, and Chancellor Snow of the
University of Kansas, stood at the
Wabash depot in this town this after
noon discussing the great college game
I have always countenanced foot
ball, said President Jesse.
L have more than countenanced foot
ball, replied Chancellor Snow. I have
given it my hearty support. / have put
myself on equal terms with the football
team of Kansas university and urged
the boys to their best efforts. I have
discovered in the seven years since
football was first played in Kansas un-
1VerS1ty that the members of the team
are among the best students. This sea-
son several of the men who stood high
est in their classes, at first declined to
go on the team because they wished to
devote all their time to their studies. I
Joined with the coach and captain in
persuading them to join the team and
since then they have distinguished
themselves by brilliant playing. Edu-
cation and athletics should go hand in
hand. One promotes the Other''
When interviewed later regarding the
alleged row between himself and Presi-
dent Jesse Chancellor Snow said: THE
reports have been greatly exaggerated.
read in a paper that President Jesse
had in an address to the students here
accused the Kansas boys of foul play
ing and professionalism. [ published
quite an emphatic denial in which I
said that I did not believe DR.. Jesse had
made the statement in question. Short
ly afterward L received a letter from
Dr.. Jesse saying that the reports re-
garding his remarks about the Kansas
team were false, and thanking me for
expressing my belief that such was the
case"
Chancellor Snow was here, as he said,
to take his first look at Missouri uni
versity and also to meet the athletic
association for the purpose of discuss
ing football A meeting in his honor
Snow delivered a brief address to the
students. As a result the teams of
Missouri and Kansas will have a better
understanding in the future and will
next season be on much better terms
than in past years, as the chancellor
took occasion to explain several things
for which the Missouri boys had cen
sured the Kansas team.

WANTS THE BABY.
Indiana Teacher Willing to Adopt an
Infant Once Buried Alive

Terre Haute, Ind, Dec. 16.-A teach
er in the Michigan City schools wants
to adopt the baby of Mrs. Thompson,
which was buried for three days and
then found alive by Detective AicRae.
Mrs. Thompson had returned to the
neighbOrhOOd of her home in this cOun-
ty with the 3-Weeks- old baby, but as
she did not want her parents to know
of its birth she carried it into the
woods and. as she says, with the assist
ance of George Cotton, its father, bur-
led it while alive. Both she and Gotten
have been indicted for the crime. The
baby is now months old. The letter
from the Michigan City teacher is as
follows:
Michigan City, Ind, Dec. S-Mr. Nc
Rae: Dear Sir:@ inclose a clipping
from the Michigan City News. I wish
to ascertain if the statements are true.
I am a teacher in the public schools, so
have no deep plot in asking for inform
alton, but if you can give details of the
way that child was buried I would like
to have them. I think if it lives 1t
ought to be taken away from its sur
roundings and brought up by decent
people. [ would be willing to take it if
it could be sent by some woman or
brought to me, or if you would be will
ling to pay expenses 1 could come after
it during the Christmas holidays.
for 1 do feel that it should be taken
away Very respectfully,
ADA L. PURDY.
The mother of the child is now taking
good care OF it.
