MARvELs OF THE STOCK WHIP

The stock whip, in the skillfull hands
of the Australian, is not only an article
of the greatest utility, but also a for
midable weapon. Owing to its great
length-the lash varies from twelve to
thirty feet-and the shortness of the
butt, which measures only eighteen
inches, it is an extremely difficult and
awkward thing to WELD, and the begin
ner is apt to seriously hurt himself if
he does not exercise care when prac-
ticing.
A we'll trained stockman, however,
can hit a cent every time at ten PAGES
distance, and with the dreaded lash
in his hand, cracking like pistol shots,
can keep mob of wild cattle in check.
If used with full force, it will cut
through skin and flesh like knife;
but, unless a beast shows distinct vice,
the stockman uses it more for the pur-
pose of instilling fear than of causing
pain. 1t can also be used as bolas-
a Patagonian form of the lasso-and
an adept with the whip can catch and
hold beast by causing the lash to
curl round its legs.-From "a Train
in School for Cowboys" Wide World
Magazine.

SUPPORT OTHER ACTIVITIES

Football has passed into history
The leftover enthusiasm shoRld now
be devoted to other channels. Other
student activities are just as desery-
Ing of support. such as debating. bas-
ketball. track and baseball.
Missouri won the Missouri valley
championship in baseball last year
and has always held a good record in
track. Basketball has not reached a
plane of common interest because Of
the lack OF support on the part of
students. Roofing is as essential in
one athletic event as in another.
Debating, the least supported OF
student activities, is also the most
successful insofar as victories are
concerned. The debating teams of
the University have not been defeated
in three years. They have won from
Kansas. Texas, Colorado. and Wash
ingtor universities
Whole-hearted support is needed
for all activities. Students should get
behind basketball and debating and
show their interest in the welfare OF
the school is greater than their indi-
vidual pleasure from attendance at
these events.

is THE HORSE PASSING?

A year or so after automobiles be-
came common, it was freely prophe,
sled that the horse was to be sup
planted as means OF carrying pas
sengers., This prophecy was realized
quickly in the development OF the au-
tomobile and in the arrival of the
taXicab. which is driving out the horse
cabs in most cities. But few people
thought that the automobile would
be utilized so generally as a carrier
Of commerce as it is now.
Especially is it used in the cities.
Instead of the old slow draft horse,
there is seen now the big hurrying
motor truck. These trucks haul every
thing from coal to poultry At present
there are about 800 of these in ST
Louis. and about 200 in Kansas City.
The principal advantage of the mo-
tor truck over the draft horse is that
it is much faster, and can haul heav-
ier loads. This shows especially on
long hauls. A truck is said to do six
times the work of a hors and cart.
Not only in the cities is the truck
the horse. In the smaller
towns and in the country these COM
mercial automobiles are found in ever
numbers. They are used
for every purpose.

years. They could be drawn closer
to the University, and feel themselves
more part of the school than they
do now.
One of the most characteristic fea-
lures of a big Eastern game is the
way the alumni attend in body and
renew their college days in their col
lege towns. If we could accomplish
this here in the Middle West. it would
mean much to the school, OF course
all the traditions of an Eastern col
iege could not be developed at once
But both the school and the ALUMNI
would be benefited if the alumni would
come back TO Columbia every two
years. A loyal band of alumni is one
of the greatest assets of a school. With
the great advantages to be derived
from bringing them back TO Columbia,
and to Lawrence, the new plan &,
least seems to merit trial.

University Chat.

While two thousand students from
The University OF Missouri were Ius-
lilly cheering their football team last
Thursday, another contest. of really
greater importance to the University
and to the State Of Missouri, was being
won by the College of Agricihture's
stock judging team.
Missouri won at Chicago. a contest
which gives it supremacy among the
best agricultural colleges OF North
America. The greatest stock jude-
ng contest ever held, four scholar
ships OF $3.50 each won, and Kansas
in the eighth place? Is that rea-
son for celebration?
The students of the university which
can produce such team as this.
should certainly give it a rousing re-
ception on its return. Missouri not
only sent Kansas ANONYMOUSLY down.
but defeated eight other Institutions.
and among them were the strongest

LARGEST CIRCULATION
IN BOONE COUNTY.
VICTORIES

President Hill at assembly struck
a note that should be dwelt upon. We
are proud that our University can de,
velop a superior football team, and
there is surely an occasion for us TO
be proud that it can also develop a
winning stock-judging team.
The record made by the Missouri
stock:judging team at the Interna-
tional Live Stock Exhibition at Chi
cago brings credit to the University.
To a great many people a victory in
such contest means more than a vic
tory on the gridiron
The score at Chicago leaves no room
for doubt. Missouri's victory was de-
cisive. Besides winning the team tro-
ply, Missouri students stood highest
as individual judges. Four out OF the
five composing the team were awarded
scholarships. The fifth man on the
team stood eighth on the honor list
We not only beat Kansas, but we
beat seven other states at the same
time.
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1910-12-01

The University Of Missouri is show
ing the people of the state that it de-
served the mil-tax income which was
refused it q few weeks ago at the
polls. The quality Of the work here
may be fairly judged by the showing
.ci Missouri students in competition
With students of other states. The
showing Missouri made in football last
Thursday needs 10 telliEg-the con
tas. at Kansas City is pretty sencr-
ally understood. In another athletic
event that day-a five-mile run-Mis-
souri, won in walk Cadets from
the University of Missouri won the
rifle match at Kansas City.
But greater victory for the Uni
yersity was won in Chicago Saturday.
The Missouri stock Judging team at
the International Live Stock show
made higher score than had ever
been made before at an international
show. The individual scores, too. were
record-breakers. in judging saddle
horses Missouri won from Kentucky. a
state long famous for its saddle horses.

WHEN PLAYED HERE

All the Kansas City papers are urg-
ing reconsideration of the decision
not to play the annual Missouri-Kan-
sas game in Kansas City. They as
sert that there is no reason to take
the game away from Kansas City
The behavior of the students is good
and is becoming better every year.
they say. The Kansas City alumni
associations of the two schools also
are working to keep the game there.
Leaving aside the question of wheth-
er it is better for the students to
have the game played in the two col
lege towns, or whether the game can
be made to pay outside of Kansas City.
there is no doubt that the removal of
the contest to Columbia and Lawrence
would put the alumni of both schools
in closer touch with their universi-
ties.
Every year the alumni go to Kansas
City in crowds to see the game, and
renew their acquaintance with one
another. If the games were played
at home these men would come to
Columbia or Lawrence. They would
see the growth of their old schools
year by year. No longer would they
be strangers in their old college
towns. The associations of the Uni
versity would mean more to them if
tney saw the school once every two
