Athletic Notes.
Last Friday evening Kappa Alpha Chapter of Pi Beta Phi (better known as I. C. Sorosis) gave a large and elegant reception in A. O. U. W hall. The young ladies were all attired in "Kate Greenaway" costume and the effect produced was very charming and picturesque. Harry Riggs and Miss Emma Hynes lead the grand march. Dancing was the principal feature of the evening; Bell's First Regiment Band furnished the music. The refreshments were served in the hall on side tables. A number of visiting friends of the I. C.'s were present. The entertainment was a decided success and a credit to the popular and pleasant young ladies of Kappa Alpha chapter. Those present were: Miss Alice Penfield, Emma White, Hattie McCague, May Page, Eva Miles. Lena Beard, Helen Sultiff, Anna Barker, Mattie Snow, Gertrude Crotty, Emma Hynes, Lyle Hynes, Nell Griffith, Maud Mansfield, Bella Love, Nannie Love, Bay Shultz, Daisy Cockins, Mary Gilmore, Jo Gilmore, Jennie Sutliff, Stella Hynes, Mamie Tisdale, Julia Powell, Kate Powell, Mannie Lyons, Dottie Simpson, Mary Miller, Josie Hutchings, Carla Cockins, Clara Coffin, Lillie Fenn, Grace Fields, Bertie Thompson, Lillie Gemmell, May Gemmell, Mattie Brown, Nydia Gilmore; Messrs. Obe Taylor, Snlon T. Gilmore, G. G. Blair, W. F. Caidwell, H. Buckingham, W. A. Jackson, Will Snow, O. H. Campbell, W. H. Brown, Henri Nickle, H. E. Riggs, R. S. Horton, B. F. Akers, J. Gordon Gibb, O. D. Walker, Fred Shultz, Whit Miles, Y. M. White, E. C. Franklin, E. Swope, W. W. Davis, F. G. Crowell, A. H. Plumb, John Mastin, Will Penfield, D. Dunn, F. Melluish, W. Y. Morgan, Will Brown, R. J. Curdy, John Prescott, C. F. Spencer, Dix Spencer, N. M. McCague, L. N. Lewis, W. S. Jenks, S. Brewer, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schmidtmeyer, and Mrs. Geo. E.

executive committee, Davis, Gilmore and Mulvane.
The following base ballists will represent K. S. U. in the base club club: Davis, c; Canfield, p; Allen, 1st base; Campbell, 2d base; Esterly, 3d base; Deford, s; s; Hogeboom, l f; Mulvane; c f; Bride, r f.
The pennant will consist of the colors of the winning fraternity, with the colors of the other frats arranged around the sides and corners. The pennant will bear the inscription: "Champions of the Inter-Fraternity League of K. S. U. 1886."
The fraternity nines have captains as follows: Beta Theta Pi, L. T. Smith; Phi Kappa Psi, W. S. Allen; Phi Gamma Delta, W. A. Jackson; Phi Delta Theta, Jep Davis; Sigma Chi, A. Cunkle; Sigma Nu, G. W. Harrington. Each fraternity is charged five dollars for admission into the league.
At the drawing Monday, Captains Allen and Smith drew first positions, Jackson and Harrington drew seconds, Cunkle and Davis thirds. Accordingly the Phi Pais and Betas will meet in the first game, which will probably be played the 25th, a week from to-day. The Phi Gams and Sigma Nus will play the second game Saturday, the 26th.
The K. S. U. nine must come first, everything else in the way of athletics ought to yield to it. Up to the present time it has not practiced as much as it should have. The Inter-Fraternity league is all right, but it must not absorb all our interest. The University nine ought to be working with might and main. The contributions show what the faculty and students expect.
Considerable consternation was caused among the different fraternity nines, Wednesday morning when Campbell and Simmons appeared with Sigma Nu badges. These gentlemen will form that fraternity's battery. Campbell is an old player, a fine catcher and as a batter has no superior in the University. Simmons is said to be an excellent pitcher. Sigma Nu pools have risen with perceptible rapidity since this addition.
Orophilian hall, Friday, March 11,
'87. The society was called to order
and after the usual preliminaries,
followed the installation of J. A.
Halligan, president, and Rosa McMurray, secretary, and other officers.
The program was unusually interesting. Reading by Thomas Hunt, essay by Ella Funk, declaration by Flora Fincher, extemporaneous by Joseph Rolston, oration W. T. Caywood.
After recess, the question,
Resolved: That municipal woman suffrage will result in much general good for the State, was debated, affirmative May Churchill and Lillian Bell; negative, Flora Fincher and
The Orophilians
Ella Funk. The judges decided for the affirmative. The debate was highly entertaining not only because of the novelty or a ladies' debate, but also on account of the lively and able manner in which they handled the question. Since the ladies have so creditably shown their argumentative abilities we hope that hereafter they will take an active part in this feature of the program. After the debate Miss Gertrude Hunnicutt voluntarily favored the society with a declamation with great credit to herself. After the usual routine of business the society adjourned for one week.
