IT'S UP TO WALTER CAMP Transylvania's Trick Play Against Miami University Raises Question. Is there such a thing as a balk in football This question has lecn raised as a result of a trick play used by Trans ylvania's center rush in the Thanks giving Day game at Lexington, Ky., with Miami University's eleven, and as a result there is a strong likeli hood that a new rule covering iust such cases may be found in the foot ball code after the rules committee finishes its labors next meeting. Capt. F. W. Stone, Miami's physical direct or, has laid the question before Wal ter Camp, the greatest authority on football rules in America and a mem ber of the rules committee. The play is this. The center ru-h makes a miick motion of the hand just as he would in snapping the ball back. Rut be doesn't snap the ball. The opposing team is deceived by the motion and charges. Then when the other fellows are offside the center real ly snaps the ball and the other fellows are penalized for living offside. There is no rule that now covers such a play in express words, but the Miami folk claim that this false motion should be illegal on the same grounds that a pitcher is not allowed to balk in base ball. Four times in the Transylvania game the Miami team was thrown off-ido by this trick and penalized. YOUR APPENDIX MAY BE OF SOME USE -IF YOU ARE ILL, ANYHOW English Surgeons Learn How to Make Mysterious Organ Valuable. LONDON. Dec. 21.- What purports to be an important discovery in ref erence to the vermiform appendix is describe! by one of the surgeons ot the West London Hospital, apparently showing that the dangerous, mysteri ous organ can greatly help a surgeon in treating diseases of the lower intestine. The difficulty of applying medicines in I he lower intestines is overcome by us ing the appendix as a duct. The operation being exactly in the same manner a the familiar operation for appendicitis, l,ut instead of remov ing the organ, the surgeon threads through the various layers of miisclc in the alidomiiial wall and attaches it to the skin: it i then opened and by a tube passed through any necessary medicine can Ik- applied directly to the mucous membrane of the lower intes tines.

CLEOPATRA NOT BEAUTIFUL? Italian Scholar Says So, and Some Here Agree With Him. Another lemon from the garden of science! After centuries of poetic myth, are we to find that Anthony and Cleopatra were, after all, but engaged in the mod ern game that impecunious counts and American heiresses play? Instead of lieing the splendid conqueror brought low by Cleopatra's immortal lieauty. was Anthony but an ambitious schem er, willing to give his political strength in exchange for the treasuries of the Ptolemies in order to execute his Per sian campaign? Was romance stran gled for gold and power even in the age of the lotus and asp. when the riddle of the Sphinx was yet young Such would seem to lie the case from the views advanced in a lecture by Signor Guglielmo Ferrero. the Italian historian, at Columbia University, in which he declared that Anthony, in stead of being infatuated with the charms of Cleopatra, was only schem ing for her wealth, while she was de sirous of his political prestige in order to strengthen her position. And this ruthless rending of popular fancy is confirmed bv onr own scholars. She WAS Fascinating. Dr. Howard V. Canter, instructor in Roman history in the University said: "Destructive iriticisni is always at tractive, but in many cases is based on insufficient evidence. Ferrero's the ory is no exception. That politics was a factor in Anthony's relations with Cleopatra noliody denies; but that Cleo patra was the better and possibly more ambitious xiiiliii.in of the two Ferre lo's theory neglects. Florus tells Us that Cleopatra demanded of Anthony nothing less than the Roman Empire and that he promised to give it to her. Dion Cassius says that on Anthony's return from the East he assigned to her many of the conquered provinces. "That Cleopatra was a fascinating woman is the persistent tradition of antiquity, and in the absence of airv political aims on Julius Caears part. Lnnlv her charm can explain his alliance with her a fact not noted by Ferrero. The romance of Anthony and Cleopatra remains uiishattcrcd. Even conceding that politics was the more important factor in their alliance there is still left to the dramatist sufficient motive in the person and character of a woman whose name has been liked by romance with such romances as Helen of Troy and Marie Stuart." Sticks to Romance. Prof. G. R. Johnson, instructor in hi-tory at Stephens College, says: "This view of the Italian historian. Guglielmo Feriero. strikes me as a new view of the matter, since I have never seen it explained in that way In-fore. 1 am inclined to the view that the affair between Anthony and Cleopatra was a love affair, one of those kind that makes a fellow forget his state affairs rather than seek to advance them by any alliances." Theory Unique and Probable. N. O. Hopkin-, instructor in history at the Teachers College High School, savs: "The idea advanced bv the Ital ian historian Ferrero. that Anthony played politics, not love, strikes me as unique and probable. The Romans knew the game of politics thoroughly, and it is not difficult for me to 1k lieve that Anthony's marriage was to some extent, if not largely, for polit ical gain." Robs History of Charm. Eugene Fair, instructor in history at the University of Missouri, says: l lielievc the criticism made by the his torian is just. If we study the char acter of Anthony we can readily be lieve that the marriage with the Egyp tian Queen was for power and mutual aid. Cleopatra needed Anthony's help, for she was hard pressed at home. Both would lie lienefited by a marriage. It take "a great deal of the charm from history to consider the marriage in this light, but I believe that the view of the Italian is sound." Exchanged Title for Wealth. Dr. F. F. Stephen, instructor in his tory at the University, says; "The critici-m made by the Italian historian seems to me to be probable. Modem historical criticism is uncovering a Teat many such myths, and it seems TWO OPINIONS ROMANCE- ;h ERE'S what a poet wrote about Anthony and Cleopatra: 1 am dying, Egypt, dying. Ebbs the crimson life-tide fast. And the dark Plutonian shadows Gather on the evening blast. Let thine arm, O Queen, enfold me, Hush thy sobs and bow thine ear, Listen to the great heart secrets Thou, and thou alone, must hear. William Haines Lytic. ERE'S what a historian said about them: "The marriage," Signor Ferrero said, "took place at Antioeh, with all the dynastic ceremonies of Egypt, in 30 B. C and ther..- ;h upon Anthony became King of Egypt, though he had never dared assume the title. "This was brought alwut not by love, but by polities a scheme which Caesar understood perfectly. After the plunder of other regions, the on ly state left that was rich in precious materials was Egypt, and these were wanted to use in the campaign of Persia. "Why did Anthony marry Cleopatra, instead of conquering Egypt? Because there was an old tradition in Rome that Egypt should be ex- i ploited, but respect shown her independence." i STABBED, SAYS HE LET HAZOB SLIP Roy C. Newman in Hospital With Wound Over His Heart. Roy C. Newman, son of C. C. New man a hardware dealer, is in the Par ker Hospital with a stab wound over his heart. He underwent an operation ami is rallying from it. Newman stated to the hospital at tcudans that the wound was caused when his razor slipped while shaving, and refu-ed to make any further state ment. Newman is about 2S years old and lives with his father at HMWI Cherry street, lie was taken to the hopital Friday. CIRCUIT ATTORNEY-ELECT APPOINTS M. U. ALUMNI Seebert G.

L IN ROLE OF BANDITS Two Youths Invade Teacher's Room and Threaten Her With Revolver. HER APARTMENTS RANSACKED Carthage, Mo., Woman Is Prostrated by Prank'of Students. CARTILAGE, Mo., Dec. 21. Two high school Imivs on a lark entered the apartments of Miss Clarissa Works, a teacher in the Manual Training School here Saturday night and at the point of a pistol ordered her to keep quiet while they ransacked her room. Miss Works was prostrated from fright and for several minutes was un able to call for assistance. Nothing was taken from the room. The police have not arrested the youths, but de clare their identity is known. The town indignant at the joke, which is likely to land the two boys in jail. Miss Works was reading as she lay in bed. She heard someone enter the front door and supposed it was Miss Josephine Stuckey. who was coming to stay all night with her. Pistol Pointed at Teacher. Then two poorly dressed young men entered. One drew a revolver, which he pointed at the teacher, cautioning her to lie silent. While be kept Miss Works covered with the pistol, his pal rummaged the room for valuables, But so far as could be learned, nothing was taken. There were a number of articles of considerable value in the room. The burglar! were in the room aliout thirty minutes, but offered Miss Works no violence. When they left they care fully locked the door to prevent their victim sounding an alarm liefore they could escape. As soon as the burglars were gone Miss Works raised a front window and stepped onto a roof of the porch, screaming for help. Ncighliors were aroused and the police sent for. Miss Work was able to give the officers a satisfactory description of the burglars. She said they appeared to Ik aliout 17 or IS years old, were not masked, nut had their faces blackened, and had their hats pulled down over their eyes. Boys Known to the Police. An investigation lonvinced the offi cers that the supposed burglars were two schnollioy. Miss Works declares they were not schoolings and feels sure that she would know any students, even in disguise. The ollicers declare they have evidence to the contrary and Marshal Robert Jones authorizes the following statement: "The Ixiys who were in the scrape at the Knudseii home are known to the ollicers. They can come in and confess the matter or they will lie arrested for burglary with its coneqneiice." Mi Works collapel after the police arrived ami was nervous all Sunday.

Mr. Knox made an excellent rec ord as attorney general under Presi dent Roosevelt is regarded as one of the ablest lawyers in the Unitel States. Besides this fact there is the diplomatic ability of Mr. Knox. The new secretary of state is a "mixer" of the highest type and with his shrewd skill in handling people, will doubtless make a success in his new and impor tant office. Mr. Knox will succeed Eli Im Root, who is considered generally to lie one of the best men who have headed the presidential cabinet. INCREASED PAY FOR JUDGES. The President's recommendation of a higher salary for federal judges has raised a question that is not likely to be settled until the increased salaries are granted. In the compensation which it give. it nllieials tor tlieir service.--, llie state Judge Jones, sitting at Union, Tenn., in the case of the night riders charged with the murder of Captain Rankin a few months ago, has issued an edict that none of the ministers of the city refer to the case in tlieir pulpits while it is on trial. Similar orders have been issued to the Tennessee papers in re gard to printing testimony in the ease, the avowed purpose of the orders tieing to prevent the stirring up of strife.

Everybody in the world likes Christmas; from the grouch v. old, office worn, bookkeepi' the little pickaninny who gets a few-second-hand toys from the family her mother washes for: from the old maid whose stifled mother instinct finds joy in giving to a neighlior's children, to the blushing sweetheart whose loman tic heart is enraptured at the gift of her lover; from the mother who. in spite of her complaints of the buffeting of the crowded shops, finds keen delight in selecting a toy to satisfy her re markable six-year-old son's mechanical taste, and a doll for her litle daughter who is, at the age of eight years, as sweet and motherly as if an angel controlled- her very thoughts; from this mother to the children who lielieve in Santa Claus and see him in their dreams for weeks before Christmas. Christmas gifts? Why. they are worthy of the day which is devoted to their giving. Who can deny that he likes to receive gifts, and how emi nently unfit to lie allowed to partake in Christmas festivities is he who does not find keen joy in giving them! So much trouble to find what to give? Yes, but what delightful trouble; like the pangs of the little boy's first love affair when he lays at night unable to sleep. o excruciating are the pangs which tug at his heart strings, but what other pleasure is half as delight ful as those pangs? Good times? Why. just to walk down the streets and pass the houses with holly-adorned windows is having a fine time; isn't it fun to shop with the holiday crowds and force your way through groups of people with loaded arms to a counter covered with shining tin monkeys, and bright green parrots, and fuzzy dogs and pick out the one that the baby will like best? No. it isn't all fun. not quite all. for our pleasure is dimmed at times as we move down the slushy walks after day light has sped and the shop windows are resplendent with galy colored toys and shining, shimmering, decorations by the knowledge that everyliody can not Ik as happy as we are. There, in front of this attractive window filled with tos, are two little urchins, one a lioy probably eight years old, and one a little girl three years jounger. The little fellow is ragged and his torn stockings and half-laced shoes are pa thetically thin and the contrast is bit terly vivid with the shimmering furs of the lady standing next him.

The Men's Club in connec tion with the City Press Club gave a dinner Wednesday night, while Thurs day evening the women were addressed by a well-known magazine writer. Why Not with Illinois? To the Editor of the Unlrerslty Missourian: Why not more games with Illinois? Why is it that the University of Mis souri and the University of Illinois have so few athletic contests? Whv has the University of Missouri po few rela tions with the University of Illinois? The University of Missouri has lie- come one ot the leading state univer sities of the country, so why not have more relations with the university of a state that has a recognied leading state university? Outside of Kansas, Missouri has more in common w-ith Illinois than any other state, so why not have more mu tual relations? Is the Mississippi river an insurmountable barrier? There are more students from Illinois attending the University of Missouri than from any other outside state, and they would like to ce Illinois receive more attention, especially in the matter of inter-collegiate contet. such as base ball, track, tennis, and debating. During the past four years, the LTni vcrsity of Missouri has met only one team from the University of Illinois. That was in tennis last year, and the Missouri team was successful. It might also be said here that the tennis team that was defeated here at Missouri af terwards won the championship of Il linois. Students from Illinois, profes sors from Illinois, citizens from Illinois, and all persons interested in Illinois at the University of Missouri would like to see Missouri meet Illinois in at least one contest during the coming semes ter, and that is baseball.

"Yep." replied the red-headed "Soph" with the wart on his nose, anxious to show how much he knew about it. "An thony was a sort of a ward politician and stump speaker in Rome.

I think it was. when he met Cleopatra." "So he fell in love, quit Jiolitics. and met his fate?" guessed the Freshman. "Not if you want to lie up to date." corrected the "Soph." "The latest re ports have it that Anthony played the Queen for an easy mark to help him set himself up as a rival of the lioss." What I would like to know?" aked the Arts student slowly, during the pause that followed, "is how Anthony was able to do it." Well." finished the "Soph."

The University of Missouri Tigers opened the basketball season by de feating the Warrensburg Normal School team Friday night, 40 to 12, and Saturday night. -10 to 18. The j!.tme Saturday night was ragged ami -hotted a lack of form and team work on both side. At times the in dividual plaving was good, but at no period of the game did the Tigers come up to the team work or individual work thev showed in the game the night be fore.

Cohen show dl up well at throwing goal, but his inability to get the ball on the toss. up prevented systematic work. staa lacked ginger and experience but he covered his man well. In the second liah Henley and Cntdtier went in but both tianis were then completely dis organized and the plaving was poor, the one feature being the work of Hen ley, who made seven goals in the half. The first game started in fine form. The 'Iiuers worked together and piled up stores for awhile but before the first half aided the plaving was all indi viduil. Uistiue handled the ball per il ttly in dribbling but was in bad form on goal throwing. Gardner was the most consistent plaver on the floor, covering his man and nearly alwajs passing the ball where it lelonged.

UNIVERSITY M1SS0URIAN, MONDAY, DECEMBER 21, AMERICAN WOMAN AS SEEN BY CRITIC Writer in German Magazine Says She is Spoiled, Bigoted, Nervous. HER WHIMS DOMINATE MEN But She is "Handsome," He Admits, and Defender of the Good. BERLIN, Dec. 21. The American woman is placed upon a pedestal and in the same bieath picked apart by a critic who writes a deep anal.vsU of her whims, faults and caprkes in Velhagen und Klasing's Xene Moiutshefte, Ger many's leading illustrated magazine. The captious critic gives the Ameri can woman credit for many admirable attributes, but he finds much of which to complain. He starts out on his liarned anal v sis by making the serious obst nation that the American woman is "remarkably early mature."' 'Lhui he condescends to concede that she is "handsome, with tine contour and figure, not infrequently with the round and gracious hues of the best female models." He dives into his dictionary and comes up with various adjectives that, he avs, adequately epiess his idea of his precious subject. She is 'nerv our. intelligent, bigoted, gracious, ele gant, amiable, spoiled, uom.mh and. at the same time, unwomanly." She is full of "wants and claims and of a monstrous self consciousness." All this the critic avers without a tremor. Wishes Are Commands. "American women." the critic goes" on, "are inclined to regard men who have rai-cd them on the pedestal and pinnacle of goddesses as simply the gratifieis and suppliers of their whims. Their wishes are commands for the or dinary American man. It makes no difference if the wishes are unreason able. They wanted army canteens abol ished, because those establishments were supposed to harlxir and encourage alcoholism, and the representatives of the people in Congress abolished them forthwith, in spite of the protests of military people and epert. They com mand s-tate Legislatures to forbid the "sale of intoxicating drinks, and forth with they are forbidden, and thousands of business existences ruined in conse quence. "When they appear lefore a court ot justice, and a man is their opponent, justice is alwavs on their side, the god dess never hesitating to take the band age from her eves. The mere attempt of a man to get the better of a woman in a court of justice is condemned with draconic severitv of the judge. It makes no diffcience if the man is in the right; he is uncivil, unchivalrous, un gentlemanly in his mere attempt; he has attempted to degrade a goddess; he has been guilty of sacrilege. Her Right to Horsewhip Man. If an American woman has even a suspicion that some man has done her a wrong sh" can horsewhip him in the public street amid the applause of the onlookers. And should the man at tempt self-defense the onlookers would fall on him and maul him within an inch of his life. As avenger of her honor she may shoot down an unfaith ful lover, or her father or brother mav do it, and the jury will invariably find extenuating circumstances for the mur derer and acquit. "Art is equally under her slipper. Painting, sculpture, literature and the drama must tremble at her nod. There must be nothing that i naked, in any sense of the term. Even thing must be clothed. Prudery demands this, and woe betide the man who tries to defend what the almighty American woman condemns! "And yet it must le admitted," savs the" critic, "that the American woman is the warm defender of all that is good. She is supreme in the work of daily charity.

Men leave her to manage all those things and confine themselves to hunting the dollars; which, of course, they gladly pour at their women's feet. The American man does not feel the woman rule which he has created. That this aIouiiding gjnecocracy rules the United States is an undoubted fact, and it is tvpical of the situation that for eign nations who do not approve of this unhealthy state of affairs arc apt to be regarded by Americans as uncivilized and as enemies. We, in Europe, will never forget the comical indignation aroused in America when the outspoken tiaekwar of ISaroda declined to admit that American women are the wisest and most Icaiitiful women in the world."

Mr far W RM KAISER NEEDS CASH: WILL SELL CASTLES $10,000,000 a Year Is Not Enough for Emperor of Germany. BURGOMASTER STILL SURE CURE FOR BLUES Harry Hermsen and Ruth White Please Columbia House. BERLIN, Dec. 21. Emperor William and every member of the Imperial fam ily must practice most rigid economy from now on and indefinitely. This, al though his annual income is estimated conservatively at $10,000,000. Again and again Socialist members of the Reichstag have deplored the Em peror's extravagance as frightful. But he recognizes extraxagancc only in oth ers. The Emperor has been literally pour ing out money on works of art, espe cially on pictures and sculptures, in re storing old fierman castles, in rebuild ing Achilleon, the beautiful marble pal ace in the Island of Corfu, which he bought from the Empress of Austria's estate. The stringency is so great it is re ported the Kaiser xxill sell all the im perial castles at Benrath and Jager schloss, near Dussendorf. Everything the Emperor does is on the same magnificent scale. His achts, including the Hohenzollern, and his rac ing boats cost him a large sum an nually. So do his stables. His hunt ing .ot winch he is xery lond. is very epensie. Besides, the Emperor's love of music and his library cost him a great deal of money. Last May it was put out tentatively that he would ask the Prussian Land tag to give him $2,500,000 to pay his then existing debts, and to allow him $1.000000 a j ear more to increase the pay of his sen ants, but frugal Ger mans frowned on his request. ''The Burgomaster," one of the ear liest of the successful musical comedies in the United States, was presented by a capable company, headed by Itutli White and Harry Hermsen, at the Co lumbia Theater Saturday afternoon and evening. In all its essentials the show is the same as when it first won popularity. Ruth White, who plays the part of the gilded youth, still carries herself with correct mannish swagger. Harry Herm sen as the Burgomaster, who sleeps two hundred years and awakes in City Hall Park, New York, in the year 190S or thereabouts, on the whole fills the part acceptably. Several times Saturday ev ening he had difficulty in maintaining the German dialect and lapsed percep tibly into plain English. "The Tale of a Kangaroo," one of the most haunting of comic opera melodies, still has power to charm, as the au dience testified. "Just Keep Cool" and the other old favorites also won en cores. The chorus, both in singing and danc ing ability, was well above the axerage. Perhaps the greatest hit was made by the "tough girls." The show was cut short in order to allow the company to catch a train to St. Louis, where it is at the Garrick Theater this week. SHE WOULD HAVE WOMEN SOLDIERS Mme. Pelletier.

This appointment will gie Illi nois two places on the Panama Bench, the other bein held by Judge Loren Collins of Chicago. He Says He's Willing to Spend $250,000 in Berlin. BERLIN, Dec. 21. President Castro, delighted with his enthusiastic recep tion here, has announced his determi nation to prolong his isit and distrib ute among the German tradesmen the large sums of money he intended to spend in Paris. As a preliminary moe in this direc tion, he issued a public invitation to the haberdashery trade to lay before him their choicest samples of neckwear, from which he will choose a resplend ent and costly array. "I am willing to spend a quarter of a million dollars before leaxing here," he said. PARIS, Dec. 21. Mme. Madeleine Pelletier, a physician and French er- sion of the Suffragette, demands of the French Gox eminent that women be compelled to do military service just the same as men. "I wish to furnish a response to this sort of person. It is objected that the guns are too heavy, the marches too long for women. Well, lighter imns can be made, and she doesn't need to march as much as men. Besides, wom en don't need to be soldiers; they can be nurses in the hospital and assist in secretarial work. But they must have uniforms. The uniform gives one pres tige. Nuns are respected on account of their uniforms. "In public meetings," says Mme. Pel letier, "when the claim is made for women to hac the right to vote, xery often someone will rise and shout: You wish to vote; then, do your military service!' "In military education women will learn the necessity of xiolencc. Women fear to inflict pain. They are wrong. Let them use xiolence. It alone will not make our cause triumph. I am an antimilitanst and think ranee wrong in making so much of the army: but I am also a Feminist, and I think that sen ice in the army would improxe women." l&t irug ifjtfjr For Sale or Rent.

With modeling clay and skilful fin gers, Lorado Taft revealed secrets of the sculptor's art and at the same time made an impression on the minds of those who heard his lecture in the au ditorium of the University of Missouri Friday night. While working on delicate details which lequired minute care, Mr. Taft created ludicrous situations by a few indentations transforming a smiling likeness of Marie Antoinette to a f.ue marked with age; or poses of states men and orators to resemble pious monks or college students ht-foic and after cxamin ition The functions of the xarious muselts were duelled on as an intrndm tion to the lecture.
