In sending in his photograph, James
H. Cobb, the new recruit ball pitcher
wrote on the bottom of it, ''Tyrus
Gonb; a fan who saw the picture,
few seconds and then remarked:
We'll. 1 hope he won't -tire-us'
hope he. will live up to the record of
his namesake when it comes to swing

proves greater speedsmith than Wal

]. P. Taylor of sO7 East Tenth
street comes forward with the sug-
gestion that the ball team be called
the Us" The idea comes from the
fact that J stands for Jimmy, John
Jackson and Jayhawkers. Also, Mr..
Taylor suggests that the name Santas
might be appropriate, same being
taken from the name of Topeka's
greatest railroad. Having Travelled all
| over the world, Mr.. Taylor is in a
position to know what he is talking
about when he says that the words
/ Santa Fe and Topeka are as insepara-
BILE as the Siamese twins. He says that
no matter where you go, north, south,
| east or west whenever you mention
! Santa Fe, it instantly calls to the mind
| of your hearer the city of Topeka.
| And this is because Topeka is the
| greatest center of any one railroad in
| the world.
Some time ago Hurry UP Yost made
a special trip from his southern home
| to Ann Arbor to line things up for
next falls football season. Here is
how he did it: Sixty-eight of the most
promising men of last years freshmen
| teams were picked out These men
were divided into squads of five and
six men each and each squad was
placed in charge of a veteran of last
seasons eleven. Then a course of in
door training was outlined, and the
men will be expected to follow the
instructions of the veterans from now
until school closes in June. Among
these IS most promising young grid
iron warriors from whom the new
mem berS of next seasons eleven will
be chosen is Francis Willard, son of
F. G. Willard of TOpeka-and Francis
| Willard, by the way, was among the
| fourteen men who were picked for the
| all-freshmen Wolverine team. Here
/ hoping he lands steady place on the
varsity next autumn and makes a
football name for himself and for
| Topeka.
Dead.
So still and pale and wan it lies
/ Beneath the sadness of their eyes
/ Where once it lay in lusty strength.
/ Dead.

/ And mourn the joys that far have

i There yet it lies in somber state
i Dead,
The mans stern face is turned away
In trembling tones she hears him say,
