The showing made last night indi-
cations for a strong team this
year are exceptionally good. While
The Cairo boys are not in first class
shape at this the beginning OF the
season they showed fine form for
the amount Of practicethey have
had and possibilities of wonderful
Improvement,
Although perhaps joutclassed fn
every department of the game the
Murphysooro team put up a good
fight and should he commended on
the manner in which they took de-
feat. The Cairo team was on the
defensive during the whole game
keeping the ball in their hands the
greater part of the time. Only the
early season form in basket shoot
ing kept the Cairo score what II
was. The Cairo team was strone
in team work leaving no room for
individual stars. Westerman, Rink

WHEN THE QUAIL CALL

The quail now call in their autumn
homes in a tangle Of fallen leaves and
watch the geese as they fly away on
the wings of chilling breath. They
hide their homes in the deep, deep
leaves and trill "bob-white", bob
white. until the hunter at last is
freed and comes with rod of death.
They meet their death with dumb
attempt to match their giant foe. They
feint and hide In the friendly bush
when tainted wind breaths come The
woodland, too, takes a part to play
and matches the quail's occurrences.
But all in vain does the skill of wild
take hands in the game or chase. The
hunter shoots, and at night he boasts
Of quail his bag contains.
Some quail may call, unharmed By
man, with nature only as reaper.
Their mission more than a piece of
toast, they live to call again and
watch the geese as they fly away on
the wings of chilling breath.

COLUMBIA'S CAVES

this way, even when they get lost,

But Columbians sometimes forget

never get near the mouth of the caves.
Columbia hasn't a cave? No-if you
will insist ON being literal. Neither do
they use lanterns nowadays in ex-
ploring caves. Huck Firms always
manage to get electric flashlights
when they go on modern explorations.
Aside from that, don't you think tn,

THE PRIVILEGE OF COURTESY

THE PRIVILEGE OF COURTESY
How many of us do things because
we feel it is our duty, And how
many times we force ourselves to be
courteous because we think good form
demands it. We are constantly re-
minding ourselves that we must do
this thing or that thing simply be-
cause we believe it is expected of us.
But is that the right way for us to
display our hospitality and kindness?
Wouldn't it be a whole lot better for
everyone concerned if we wore our
Sunday manners" all the time and
considered it a privilege to make the
other fellow feel better. For, indeed,
it is a privilege. If everyone thought
courtesy a privilege and conducted
himself accordingly, the whole world
would be a better place in which to
live.
Columbia and the University will
have their greatest opportunity to be
courteous when the annual Missouri
Kansas argument is staged here
Thanksgiving Day. Let's go about it
with light and a willing heart. We
should be glad Of the opportunity to
entertain the old alumni, the visitors
from Kansas and the many other per-
sons who promise to make the crowd
this year a record breaker. Colum-
bias "open house" will be much
bigger success IL Columbia considers
the opportunity as real privilege
and not merely as something which is
expected.
