After Iowa Game.

After Iowa Game.
COLUMBIA, NO.. Oct. H.-CSpecial)-
win both the Hmes and the Iowa games
while we are on the trip said Coach
Roper today, when asked about the pros
poets. we will take twenty-one men on
the trip, so we will not fall short OF sub
stitutes. 1t will be hard to keep the men
10 condition while travelling, but 1 expect
them TO be In as good condition when
they play Iowa on October 80 as when
they play Ames."
The 0twenty-one men to be taken on the
trip are those which have shown up best
so far in the games and In scrimmage.
Cove, Roberts. Alexander, Johnson. Idler,
Saunders, Deatherage, Clair, Pixley, Klein,
Grain, Hall, Thatcher, Doyle. Bradley,
Wilder. Hackney, Bluck, Pearson and
Shuck, headed by Captain Rlstine, will be
taken. The team left Columbia at 9 p. m.
today, arriving In Des Moines Friday morn
ing where they will stay until saturday
morning. Then they go to Ames, where
they play that afternoon. Instead OF com
ing back to Columbia, the team will rest
up at Cedar Rapids all the next week, hav-
ing practice work and crimmage with Coe
college. 1t is the intention Of Coach Roper
to give the team Just enough scrimmage
work to keep them in good condition while
in Cedar Rapids. Saturday, October 30,
they proceed to Iowa City, where they play
Iowa State university.
According TO Guy s. Lowman, assistant
coach of the Tigers, who saw Ames defeat
Grinnell college last Saturday, the Tigers
have a hard proposition betore them.
"Ames appears to have as good a team as
last year, and will probably outweigh us
about five pounds. The Aggies did not
seem to be a bit Handicapped because Of
the absence OF the Lambert brothers"
Their good showing against Minnesota does
not presage a Tiger victory, but Missouri
rooters know their team can come from
behind and win II the two elevens are
anything like evenly matched.
Head Coach Roper, Assistant Coach
Lowman, Manager Monilaw, and several
rubbers and newspaper correspondents ac-
companied the squad in its special, and
much enthusiasm was manifested at the
Wabash station when the train left to-
night. Many OF the more enthusiastic root
ers who could not accompany the team
raked up all the spare change they had
and gave It to their more fortunate friends
to place at best possible odds on their
favorites, and a special wire has been
leased into Columbia to inform the student
body OF the progress of the game, pla by
play. The more conservative say they
will be satisfied with one victory out of
the two games, Ames and Iowa, but none
place both contests In the defeat column.
Gilchrist, the Tiger halfback, who viii
return to school this week, will probably
join the squad at Cedar Rapids after the
Ames game, and in all probability will
play in the Iowa contest. His addition
Will greatly strengthen the Tiger back
field.

LAWRENCE, Kan, OCT. M.-CSpecial.)-
The regular foot ball training table started
here today. The management has decided
that all men who have a chance to make

The trainers expect that the table will
condition the men for the Washington
game Saturday. There is small 1tkeli-
hood that Washington will cause Kansas
much trouble, but the coaches are pre-
pairing for a hard game. They intend to
have every man In good shape. Several

COIN THE FIRST DESIDERATUM
High-Sounding Titles Little Cared for
by the Really Successful
Business Man.

An offer of title is often made
in place of salary, and many men
are eager for just such places, says
a writer in the Chicago Tribune.
The real business man doesn't care
much what he calls himself or what
the world calls him; what he is after
is the coin, with a capital X.
A young writer styles himself q

at him. What we want is dignity,

fury he poked fun at our good coun-

positions, and he couldn't find out.

There are very few amusing anec-

that he failed to see humor in any,

astonished when some of the specta-
tors recognized him. While waiting
outside the house for his brougham
a man came up to him and asked
him to write his autograph on the

Greig had little esteem for the or

they should buy my music than give

his naive remarks to a friend to
