A KANSAS TRIUMPH!
Naylor Loads, and the Students of the State Unite in Praise and Yells.
A Trip to the Capital—It will go down in History.
The University has scored another great triumph for manly pride and enthusiasm. Since last Monday night it has won a higher place in the estimation of Kansas people. When the glad news came that Naylor—that Kansas—had won the battle at Lincoln, a great shout went up from the students of K. S. U. Their defeat was now a Kansas victory.
Then a spirit of generous pride and joy took hold of them and the cry went up:"On to Washburn!" The cry was no sooner heard than it was on the tongue of all.
Energetic students set themselves to work and soon preparations were made for a big trip and good time at the home of the victorious orator. A meeting was held, badges were secured, the date was set and the leaders were elected. Prof. Will Franklin-than whom there is no better fellow in the whole U.-was put in command of the forces. And right here we want to say that he and his assistants Ackley, Brown, Chapman and Roberts are to be heartily thanked for their careful and successful leadership.
Before 6 o'clock Monday evening the Santa Fe depot was crowded with professors and students. There were over 250:-17, we are glad to say, were loyal young ladies. The special train of four coaches pulled up on time and soon it was filled with the yelling celebrators.
Here we go to the capital: that special is a racer—at a mile a minute, we whirl along. Everybody is glad of it, the quicker the better. The minutes fly—so does the train. There is lots of good feeling on board—there is singing and laughing and shouting. Thirty minutes have gone; "Topeka!" "Topeka!" We stop. "Fall in!" shouts our stern commander. We fall.
The train arrived in Topeka about thirty minutes before it was expected by the Washburn boys, and in consequence the reception was not quite as complete as it would have been. But this or nothing else could stifle the boundless enthusiasm of the 250 visitors. Falling promptly into line and lead by Chancellor Snow the students marched like an armed host fight into the heart of the capital. The procession had not gone far,
when Prof. Snow was placed in an open carriage in company with President McVicar of Washburn. Then Marshall's Military Band came flashing down the street and fell in at the head of the impatien troopers. The Washburn boys now gathered and formed a second line beside their University friends. Everything now was ready. Grand Marshal Franklin, seated on a foaming charger gave the command, and the Band struck up a triumphant march, and the great, glad columns went yelling, thundering down Kansas Ave.
My dear reader, were you ever a college student? Ah! You were? Then you can remember those glorious times when your heart broke loose with the young blood that over flowed it—when with loyal love for every good fellow, your college pride went tearing, roaring from your bursting lungs like an anthium of the free. Then, too, you can appreciate this Kansas triumph. You can feel, we are sure, the stirring inspiration of those beating drums and flying colors and Kansas shouts—those yells, those songs. Hear them: "Naylor! Naylor! S. W. Naylor!" "Yip, yip, yip! ya-hoo-oo, Washburn!" "Rock! Chalk! Jayhawk! K U!" "What's the matter with Kansas? She's all right, you bet!"
But here we go—a Kansas triumph for a Kansas man up a Kansas Street! What a scene! A Kansas scene! Kansas first, last and all the time!
We reach the State House:
We halt—a flash! boom! boom! boom!
boom! Even the cannon yell!
It begins to rain: nobody likes that. We take the street cars for Washburn college. Here we go buzzing out through meadows and across lots. We see the college: we don't wait for the car to stop. We are off and soon find ourselves the guests of as kind and good people as ever lived. The boys yell for Naylor and Kansas and victory. The band plays—the boys sing and congratulate everybody and shake hands—with the ladies. Then some one says something about ice cream and cake. That settles it—no more yelling now—not until we are through with that delicious dish. The dishes are finished—so are 60 gallons of frozen cream—and the speaking begins.
receive and welcome you. I admire your spirit and generous pride. This is indeed a Kansas victory that we celebrate. I am glad you come headed by so able and good a leader. Some twenty-three years ago I cast my vote for F. H. Snow as Professor in the first faculty of the Kansas State University. I am glad I did it. I have never regretted it. I am delighted to know that the University has secured so eminent a chancellor. Again we welcome him and you with all our hearts."
President McVicar stood upon the steps of the library and welcomed the students as follows: Students of the Kansas State University, Washburn is glad to
Then shouts went up for Naylor. The victorious orator mounted the steps and spoke about as follows; "We have not come here to talk. We have come to celebrate a Kansas victory. I am unwilling to say more than to thank you for the honors you show me. I want to be among those who are shouting for Kansas. I want to congratulate the students of Kansas upon the fortunate accident that has given this state the victory. I cannot say what I would like to say. There are times when one's heart cannot be told. I cannot but heartily thank you and welcome you as those who are interested in the welfare of this great state."
Chancellor Snow was then called and he spoke about thus wise: "We celebrate to-night another victory for the great State of Kansas. It is not Naylor of Washburn, but Naylor of Kansas. We have come—four car loads full—to congratulate you and celebrate this victory. If Demosthenes' definition of eloquence is correct, Action, action, action—the boys of the University have demonstrated by what they have done and will do to-night, that they are truly eloquent This is a victory that needs to be celebrated Kansas history is a famous history. Corn and wheat and cattle are now making it famous, but they are but making it possible for other and greater victories. This victory is one of the mind, of the voice and youthful eloquence. It will do much to convince our eastern institutions that we can compete with them on any field. I am glad of this victory. It will inspire and uplift the youth and young institutions of the state. And more, it will prove that this state is able to produce minds of the greatest culture."
H. F. M. Bear spoke eloquently in behalf of the boys. He made indeed a splendid speech. It is imperfectly, as follows: "I hardly know why I am called here.

AN INDIAN MASSACRE!
The Red Men put on their Pants and Scalp the Fale Faces
The University Base Ball Club has played and lost its first game. The Haskell Indains did the fatal business
The game last Saturday afternoon was intensely interesting. The close and brilliant playing made it a capital contest. The clubs were pretty evenly matched and both fought desperately for the pennant. But only one could win it. The U. boys played hard and earnestly—they played well and effectively, but they fell,—not because the Indains played harder and more earnestly, but because they played better and more effectively. That is the sum of the whole matter. The U's were out-played and fairly defeated We are sorry, but not alarmed.
The Indains put up a clever game: the battery was the bigger part of it. Mackey is a remarkable twirler: twenty-one men beat frantically but uselessly at his magical sphere. Mackey is more than a pitcher: he is a base ball man from head to foot. His brilliant throwing, sure batting and cool head formed the power that spoilt the cake for the U.
The University boys were not far behind the Red men in the brilliancy of their playing. But they were left when it came to strength, certainty and endurance.
When we remember, however, that this was their first game, and that they went on the field weak in individual and team practice, we are tolerably satisfied with the work of the University boys. There is one thing, at least, for which they should be warmly praised: every man played "ball" every man was earnest and careful; and earnestness and carefulness are the very life of the game. They are indeed the elements that bring success.
Captain Davis conducted the game with his characteristic spirit and good sense. He held second without an error, Smith played gallantly and Swank tried hard and successfully to support him. But we have better things to hope from our "phenom."
None will deny that the club as it played last Saturday showed many lamentably weak and ruinous spots. These fatal defects must be mended; the future success of the club demand it. To be clearer, this defeat has forced upon us two conclusions; first, the club should be carefully thined and judiciously strengthened; second, the club, as a team, must have

more consistent practice. This, it seems to us, is imperatively its present needs.
Because it is the first game, we will not be personal in our criticism. Yet we believe that every man who saw that game—every sensible man—knows now what that criticism would be. A little study of the following facts will give you sufficient data for any opinions that you may want;
In spite of this defeat we have the greatest confidence in the ultimate success of the club. We believe that Manager Armstrong and Captain Davis are earnest and enthusiastic in their desire to make the club the pride of the U The club can be made to win and we believe they will lead it to victory,

The fielders had little to do.
Harper's coaching was a striking feature of the game.
There was entirely too muck kicking on Umpire Hickey's deh cisions.
Smith's slide in home was the thing that nerved the boys up to better batting. That slide was a dandy.
Several of the aboriginal base ball cranks reposed their faith in the H. L. nine by risking their sheckels. Ask Baker
Davis played a faultless game. Prof. Robinson was out to see the game.
Clerk Moody's well known face smiled encouragement to the boys. Several of the K. S. U. young ladies attended the game.
Theumping by Mr. M. E. Hickey was characteristically just and able, and he deserves nothing but the thanks of both clubs.
Among the features of the game were: Smith's home run in the fourth inning; Adams' brilliant playing at first base, with only one error; Esterly's long hit to center field which brought in three runs.
