A Game With Illinois.

To the Editor of the University MSsourian:
The suggestion OF the St Louis
alumni to have a football game played
annually in st. Louis between Mis-
souri, and Illinois is good one and
is advanced at the best time. There
are many reasons why Missouri should
play Illinois and why the game should
be played in St Louis.
The football games played by the
State University should all be played
with other state universities The
feature that makes the Kansas game
so full of interest is the fact that
two states are represented on the
border line in an Interstate contest.
We play Kansas on the west, then
why not Illinois On the east.
The game would be success finan.
cially. While ST. Louis has many
football teams representing the var
ious schools in that city none OF them
has any great appeal TO the lovers
OF football. Let such a game as a
Missouri-Iliinois game be played and
the largest stadium in ST. Louis could
be easily packed with people from
the two states. 1t would net nearly
as much money for the Missouri ath
!etic association as the Kansas game
The idea Of playing only state uni
versities is one that no one will Offer
objections to. The University of Mis-
souri, is state institution In tht
Middle West state universities are til.
stronghold. There are few large en-
dowed colleges. We all believe il
state universities and believe in fost
ering as much spirit between them a:
is possible. The best way to do thi!
is to have interstate competition.

activities. W.

May Build Fraternity Houses.

At meeting OF the board of trus-
tees OF Northwestern University a
few days ago the question of fraternity
houses on the campus was taken up.
Petitions were presented from several
fraternitics. asking that the univer-
sity advance a part of the necessary
funds, provided the fraternities should
raise specified amount.
Last spring there was considerable
agitation for dormitories on the
campus in which the various fraterni-
ties should rent suites OF rooms.
The plan, however, is felt to be open to
number of criticisms and both the
board and the fraternities have let it
drop.
In case the board takes favorable
action on the petitions which have
been presented. it is probable that
several fraternity houses will he erect
ed on the campus in the near future.

steady, sure steps Of the College OF
Agriculture are miieStones on the road
to Il greater superiority. Il superiority
which is not tieeting, a superiority
which best displays the intellectual
advancement OF the students. As ath-
letic victories show physical superb
Ority chiefly, these victories show in
creased mental ability. Such achieve
ments, although seemingly unilnpor-
tant, are steps toward greater
university.
The College of Agriculture has
brought many such honors to the
University OF Missouri. 1t will bring
more.
E,verybody's sympathies are with
the assistant coach who lies very i'll

everybody is celebrating the victory
he was partly responsible for.
