The game will be played at New Haven, and there is seating room for 35,000 people. · The tickets are divided equally. Already Harvard alone has calls for 50,000 tickets. Ticket brokers are busy, and the pasteboards are becoming quite valuable.

Leads in College Prohibition Move- ment, May Get National Oratoricals Prohibition Leagues have been or- ganized in practically every college in Kansas. This state leads all of the others in the college prohibition movement so far as interest, member- ship and support are concerned. Kan- sas may get the 1910 grand national oratorical contest next spring, in which speakers from all over the United States compete. It is by far the most extensive and important oratorical contest of the year. The prize is $175. C. S. Pierce, Baylor University, Waco, Texas, now holds first honors, and Pennington, of Earl- ham College, Richmond, holds sec- ond. The last national contest was held in Memorial hall, Columbus, Ohio.

As leader of the orchestra in 1908 and 1909, Mr. Lebow was recognized as one of the best musicians in the sta'e. He was a member of Gorm- ley's band.

William Jewell Thanksgiving Game Will Not Go to St. Joseph.
That , the Thanksgiving game with William Jewell will be played in Ot- tawa, on the college gridiron, is now practically certain. Coach Brummage, of the Liberty, Mo., college team was especially desirous that the game be played at St. Joseph, Mo. but Coach Wann, voicing the sentiment of O. U., urged that the game be played here. . William Jewell will be paid $200 to come here and play. There is no reason why there should not be a record breaking crowd here to wi.ness this contest. The whole of the busi- ness section of the town will undoubt- edly turn out, if the day is good.

WANTS MORE SATURDAYS.
Professor Schwegler of State Univer- sity, Finds a Real Need.
The Kansas University News-Bulle- fin prints a very interesting story of Prof. Raymond A. Schwegler, formerly of the college here.
Prof. Schwegler hasn't enough Sat. urdays in he calendar to fill all the lecture engagements he is asked to make with the coun y school associa- t'ons of the state.
These associations meet on Satur- days and listen to lectures on school topics. Prof. Schwegler, who is as- sociate professor of education, deliv- ered addresses at twenty-four com- mencements and at thirty-seven insti- tutes last year. These were about half of those he was asked to fill.
This year all but three of Prof. Schwegler's Saturdays until April are engaged. His services are offered to the common schools of Kansas as a part of the work which the university feels to be its duty to do for the strengthening and upbuilding of the state system of education from the bottom to the top.

MAKING MILITARY MAP.
Lieutenant Powell, Football Official at Baldwin, Is in Ottawa. Lieutenant R. G. Powell, whom Baker students will remember as the impartial referee of the Ottawa-Baker game, is in town in charge of a de- tachment of men from Fort Leaven- worth. The soldiers are quartered here while at work on a military map of the roads and general topography of the neighboring country.
The work is being done on horse- back, and all measurements are be- ing made, not in miles, but in the time it takes a horse to traverse a certain distance. The survey is for government use in case of war.
With Lieutenant Powell is Corporal Hook, who acted as field judge in the aforementioned game.
Lieutenant Powell and Corporal Hook had been quartered at Baldwin several days before the Baker-Ottawa contest.
A USEFUL FIRE ESCAPE.
One at The Cottage Is Used in De- fense and Offense.
Under the auspices of Mr. Fred Fletcher and Prof. J. A. G. Shirk a fire escape has been added to the Charlton Cottage recently. There have been no practice runs from the inside of the building, but once or twice some young lady has made the daring climb from the outside in order to reach the inside when a water-fight or other such hostilities were taking place. There is no doubt but that the fire escape will be of great use and convenience in case of fires and calamities.

THE LOCAL ORATORICAL CONTEST ON JANUARY 7
PRELIMINARY ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE EVENT COMPLETED THIS WEEK.
Copies of Orations to the Judges on December 22-Five in the Contest.
The local oratorical contest will be held in the chapel, Friday evening, January 7th. This date was set at the regular meeting of the Student Council last Tuesday evening. Other preliminary arrangements were also recommended by the oratorical com- mittee and adopted by the Council.
December 22nd, the day before the holiday adjournment, was set as the day on which five copies of each ora- tion shall be in the hands of the ora- torical committee. Meanwhile, the committee has already proceeded to send out letters to prospective judges on thought and composition.
The portion of the constitution of the Kansas Inter-Collegiate Oratori- cal Association relative to the rank- ing, grading of orations, and securing of judges, was adopted to be used by. the committee in charge of the local contest. This means that there will be five judges on thought and com- position, and three on delivery.
The adoption of the rules of the Inter-Collegiate Association obviates the possibility of a deadlock between two orators, such as occurred here last year, when there were at first only three judges Ton thought and composition, but later two more were added.
The matter of prizes to the winners of first and second places was left over by the Council to be decided later. Under the old local oratorical association control, cash prizes were given, and last year this custom was continued. But it was the sense of the Council last year that. medals should be the awards. The oratori- cal committee is now investigating suitable medals.
It is probable that five will enter the local contest. Others, however, may decide to enter. The five men and their subjects are: Charles Bat- ten '13, "The American Negro;" Mar- cus Clemmons '12, a phase of the in- ternational arbitration problem; George Collett '13, "Frederick the Great;" Albert Miller '13, "King Da- vid, the National Hero of the Heb- rews;" John Shields '13, "Lincoln, the Politician."
According to the rules of the Inter- Collegiate Association, Ottawa will have next to the last, or eighth, place on the program this year. Miss Cor- inne Stephenson '09, who with her "Socrates - A Universal Teacher," won third place for Ottawa in the intercollegiate meet here last year, was seventh on the program then.
The inter-collegiate contest will probably be held on March 11, 1910, at Wichita, under the auspices of Friends' University.
The Kansas Inter-Collegiate Orator- ical Association is made up of the lo- cal associations of the following col- leges: Baker University, Baldwin; College of Emporia, Emporia; Fair- mount College, Wichita; Friends'
University, Wichita; Midland Col- lege, Atchison; Ottawa University, Ottawa; Southwestern College, Win- field; Washburn College, Topeka; Salina Wesleyan, Salina. The officers of the association are: Roy Mock, Salina Wesleyan, president; Francis L. Cooper, Baker, vice president; John W. Stanley, Friends', secretary- treasurer.
Several of the local contests will be held before the holiday adjourn- ment. Ottawa's provision to have the contest just after the holidays will allow the contestants opportunity to practice on delivery during the holi- days.
Mr. Crosby Owns Pantatorium.
Full interest in the college panta- torium has been purchased by Ches- ter Crosby ac '15, of Oscar Coe '10. Mr. Crosby has begun a campaign for new members.
MADAME LANGENDORFF MAY VISIT THE CHAPEL
SINGER COMES FROM LAWRENCE FOR TUESDAY'S ENGAGEMENT IN OTTAWA.
The Advance Sale of Tickets Indicates Big Crowd at Season's Big Attraction.
Madame Langendorff will come to Ottawa directly from Lawrence, where she sings Monday evening. Prof. Bixel expresses the hope that she will get here Tuesday morning in time to visit the College chapel.
Langendorff will probably not travel in a special train. It is rarely true that a soloist is able to travel in this magnificent style. Madame Nordica, who sang here last winter, however, did travel in a special coach.
The reserved seat board for the Langendorff attraction at the Rohr- baugh opera house opened today at Miller's drug store.
That there will be a well-filled house, if the weather is good, is indi- cated by the big advance sale of tickets.
Favorable criticism of the great sniger, ranging from fair to profuse, continues to be given by the press. A review of recent date says:
""The greatest artist ever!' was the expression of everyone present at this morning's public rehearsal after hear- ing Frieda Langendorff, the prima donna, who sang several selections, and at the close she received a great ovation .. A second Schuman-Heink!
Madame Langendorff's voice is a big, rich contralto, wonderfully dra- matic and of great range and quality of tone. Temperamentally and .vocal- ly she is, according to critics, by far the greatest contralto singer of the world today."

THE OTTAWA CAMPUS.
IN SEA OF MUD OTTAWA AND SOUTHWEST PLAY A DRAW.
THE 33 SCORE OFF FAIRMOUNT ALL THE HOME TEAM GOT ON TRIP.
But the Experiences and Adventures of the Journey Made Up ithe Loss.
After having won easily from Fair- mount College, Wichita, last Friday, in football by an overwhelming score "of 33 to 0, the Ottawa team met ad- verse conditions at Winfield Monday, in the form of a muddy field, and played a draw game with Southwest- ern, in which neither team scored.
Sunday afternoon at 5:40 the foot- ball team left for Winfield to play Southwestern on Monday. Supper was eaten at Winfield. Monday morn- ing, Coe and Crosby spent the fore- noon in the hotel parlor singing the latest songs. They were accompanied on the piano by one of the dining- room girls.
At 3:30 the game started. The field was a sea of mud. The captains agreed to play two 25 minute halves. Neither team could gain consistently. The Southwestern team, being the heavier, gained on line plunges, while McCandless and Hickey pulled off two very nice forward passes. Alderman, Coe and McCandless made good gains around the ends.
The first half ended with Ottawa In possession of the ball about the cen- ter of the field.
The second half was a repetition of the first, except that Ottawa was with- in 25 yards of the goal, and instead of a place kick, the ball was punted, and once more Southwestern held Ot- tawa for downs on the Southwestern 2-yard line. During the game, South- western was within 20 yards of the Ottawa goal only once.
After the game the members of the team had a few minutes to make the train. They missed the car so they had to walk. McCandless and Crosby found some girls, and thus they miss- ed the train, but no one knows why Frink and Coe missed it.
The trip was a hard one and Ottawa was lucky to make a trip like that, play two games lose neither and still get home without even a sprained ankle for a souvenir.
The Story of the Trip.
When Coach Wann and his athletes started out on their trip few of them
provided for cold weather much to their sorrow. Of the seventeen men, only six took their overcoats. When the train pulled into Newton, the first thing was to get supper, then to bed. At 5:40 they were awakened to take a train to Wichita, arriving at nine o'clock. Rooms engaged at were Hotel Carey. When the team arrived the rain was falling fast, and every member of the team had the direc- tions turned round.
The Fairmount game started at 3:30. The team was cheered on to victory by Ross Atchison '06, and sev- eral people who were formerly of Ottawa.
Friday night the players went to shows in various parts of the city. During the show rain fell in torrents, and the boys came straying in one at a time. Price and Crosby came in carrying their shoes in their hands. They reported wading water knee deep.
Saturday the storm was still fierce. A few braved the storm and went to Fairmount to chapel. The main thing that impressed the team was the boundless enthusiasm of the stu- dents at Fairmount; also how the stu- dents were backed by the dean and faculty in that enthusiasm. Dean Thayer, of Fairmount, complimented the Ottawa players upon the spirit and cleverness with which they play- ed. He also complimented his school upon having a . captain like Clyde Plank to lead the team. Frank Price replied for the Ottawa team, assur- ing the students of Fairmount that the team was well satisfied, and that Ot- tawa was sincerely hoping that ath- Ietic relations between the two col- leges could be kept up as well as they had been started.
