Crowd Saw Show Arrive This Morning—Sea Serpent Caused Near-
The circus has arrived.
The circus has arrived.
Owing to the wet ground the management of the World's Greatest Show has discarded the enormous tents which ordinarily cover ten and a half acres, and has obtained Robinson gymnasium for the performance. However, Mr. C. B. Root, purchasing agent and animal trainer of the circus states that there will be seats for all, so well arranged are the seating accommodations.
An enormous crowd turned out this morning to watch the circus arrive. The Man-Eating Sea Serapid caused a near tragedy. Attracted by the roarings and hissings of the gigantic brute, a youngster stepped too close. The monster stopped lashing his仁胸 legs with the fist and cried as the screaming boy. He was on the point of doing the Jonah act when circus attendants intervened and hurried the monster away.
"Our whole circus, complete and entire in every detail, is here," said Mr. Root to a Daily Kansas reporter this morning. "Ordinarily we leave out one or two acts or keep them for emergency, but everything will be shown tonight. We are planning to have all the elephants watered before five o'clock. Special, policemen have been obtained to handle the large crowd, and perfect order is assured. Our show is sure some pumkins" added Mr. Root. "Come and bring the children."
The manager of the grand after concert was very reticent and mysterious on being interviewed, but insinulated that some startling things would be seen. "Children screaming or crying during the dare-devil and leap for life acts will be instantly ejected," said he. "Also care must be taken not to approach too close to the Wild Man, as he is suffering slightly with the croup and is easily annoyed."
Arrangements have been made with a local meat shop for feeding the animals. The troupe will eat at the University Cafeteria.
At the last place where the World's Greatest Amalgamated and Combined Circus showed, over ten thousand people witnessed the production. This is exactly the same show that ran for months last year before New York audiences.

STIEHM REPLACES EAGER
AS MANAGER OF ATHLETICS
Man to Whom Cornhusker's Financial Success is Due Gives up Position at Season's End.
Earl O. Eager, familiar to Nebraska students as "dog," will be no longer manager of University athletes after the expiration of his present term, his successor having been appointed by the athletic board at a meeting held last evening. His place will be filled by Coach Edward O. Stichm, the positions of coach and athletic manager being combined.
Eager ends a highly creditable service with the University, lasting a number of years. Through his efforts athletics have been put on a paying base in Nebraska and the 2020 athletic field is largely due to his activity.
A committee was appointed to draw up resolutions of appreciation of the successful term now being completed by Manager Eager.
The position of assistant coach and manager was also created, and will be filled in the near future. Gay Reed is the most prominent candidate under consideration...Daily Nebraskan.
BASEBALL OPENING
NEXT WEEK----MAYBE
If Weather Permits the Sherwins Will Meet the Tigers
The date for the first appearance of Coach Sherwin's baseball hopes has been definitely announced for the 9th and 10th of April. On those days the variety baseball squad will mix with Missouri, rain and snow permitting.
So far the Jayhawker athletes have drawn more than their share of hard luck. With almost no out-door practice on account of weather conditions and their indoor practice broken up by track practice there has been almost no chance for picking a team.
Unless the weather turns for the better Kansas will be forced to play Missouri with a squad of men not yet rounded into form. Missouri on the other hand has had a full week of practice and has already met Wisconsin in a 3 to 3 tie. They will however come here at the close of a two weeks trip and the experience and team work that will have been gained will be off set in a measure by the condition of the men.

ROUGHNESS NOT THE FAULT OF THE GAME
Basket Ball Rules Committee Fixes Blame on Players and Officials
The college basket-ball rules committee ended its annual two days' session in New York March 30, coming to the conclusion that notwithstanding much criticism the present rules need no fundamental changes.
The real trouble, it was declared, lay in the failure of certain teams to obey the rules. The eastern intercollegiate league was pointed out as a "conspicuous offender in this respect," and a resolution was adopted calling upon the teams to adhere strictly to the rules hereafter.
A few changes were made designed mainly to make the game faster and less rough. It was decided to give the players but ten seconds to pass the ball before the referee had placed the ball on the foul mark, which is expected to eliminate much killing of time by the leading team. The two-minute rest periods were abolished. The committee decided also to instruct officials to "tighten up" in enforcing rules against holding and blocking.
Dr. L. J. Cook of the University of Minnesota reported that in the West basket-ball was continually played and it was possible of the big games it was impossible to accommodate all of those who wished to see the games.
