Athletics The scheme suggested by the Courier of having an inter-frat base ball league is a good one and should be carried out. There are several "frats" that have men enough for a whole team and one or two left to carry bats, etc. "Theta Nu Epsilon" might furish umpires. Some one has discovered that the new athletic association has commenced operations without formally finishing up the business of the old association. The Board of Directors should have made a full and complete report to the Association including a statement of the financial resources. This would be just as the students of the University are interested in the welfare of Association and should know what is being done. The mistake should be corrected *a* once. The senior team will probably play as follows: Howell, catcher; Topping, pitcher; Piatt, 1st base; Harvey, second base; Hogg, third; base Rothrock, short stop; Hill, right field; Corbin, center field; and Buchan, left field. The Faculty team is practicing industriously, and the great game will come off tomorrow. The secretary of the Athletic Association has received a letter from Joseph Adams, secretary of the Chicago Athletic Association, in regard to the field contest to be held in Chicago June 2nd. The programme will be as has been announced in the STUDENT'S JOURNAL and will be participated in by the principal colleges of the west. The University association is requed to send delegates and should take an active part in the contest. Chicago University, Oberlin College, Purdue University and the universities of Wisconsin and Illinois have entered the contest so far and K. U. should be represented. There are several men in active training at present who would creditably represent the University. The association should do something before it is too late. The State Field Athletic Meet will be held at McCook Field on May 30th. The colleges of the state will enter. The Board of Directors has decided to give an opportunity to all who may desire to pay their membership fees and obtain shares in the Athletic Association. The fee may be paid to Treasurer Moody at any time. Every student in the University should have interest enough in University affairs and athletics to help the association at least to the extent of fifty cents'. Harry Kendall, of Champaign, IL, is preparing an article for "Outing" on football in western universities. He will give the history of football in Purdue, Lake Forest, the Universities of Michigan, Missouri, Iowa and Kansas. K.U. will be given an illustrated article. The M. S. U. Independent says that whenever the Athletic Association gets up a base ball excursion over there everybody ge's on a beautiful jag. This is a mistake. They should at least be limited to the home grounds. An advisory committee is recommended. The Senior team defeated the Phil Delts last Wednesday by a score of 18 to 0. Next! Baker s'ill continues her record-breaking course-Ottawa 14, Baker 5, Haskell 4, Baker 1. The State Normal School has written to the Athletic Association that no contestant's will be sent to the State Field Athletic Meet to be held here on May 30th. One reason given is that they have no athletes available, and another is that May 30th being set apart as a Memorial Day, should not be desecrated by such affairs. This sounds more like Baker than the State Normal. The Bakeries have decided not to have any State Field Day Contest at Baldwin this year. This leaves a clear field for the Sate Cotest arrange by K. U. The games at St. Joe last week were not very successful. St. Joe won the Friday's game by a score of 21 to 7, and Saturday's game by 15 to 3. The boys played good ball, but were slightly out classed. A return game with the McCooks will be played at Leavenwor h to-morrow. It is to be hoped that the High School Field Contest to-morrow will be a success. There is probably no better means of developing athletics for future University contests, and it is to be regretted that more high schools have not entered. A play will probably be given at the Opera House on May 12th, for the benefit of the Athletic Association. Announcements will be made later. Kinzie, one of K. U.'s old athletes, is in the Cornell Law School and may complete his law course at K. U. next year. He says that Cornell is no better than the University of Kansas and offers no better facilities in any direction, and has only a fair base ball team this year. The Senior-Facul y base ball game which is the most exciting event in Athle circles of the whole year, will come off to-morrow afternoon at McCook field. The Seniors will be out in force with their class colors and with the aid of the Sophomores expect to ou-l everything in the University y. State Field Meet.

The Spring Oratorical Contest- The University Spring Oratorical contest which took place last Friday night was a grand success in furthering the oratorical interests in the State University. Whereas last year there were only three contestants, this year there was the full number, six contestants. A fair sized and very enthusiastic crowd gathered to hear the orators. President Charles H. Lease of the Oratorical association presided. After the invocation by Dr. Cordley, Miss Summerfield rendered a very good vocal solo, and the first speaker, Mr. Scott, was introduced. Mr. Scott's voice was a great hindrance to his speaking, and possibly accounts for his rank. Mr. Mr. Hopkins did very well considering the subject which he had to handle, which had to do with farms and farming. A piano solo was next given by Miss Wilson. Mr.' Mason was the next speaker, and although his voice was not at all distinct, his oration was more interesting to the audience than the preceding ones. Mr. McMurray followed in the winning oration on "The Character of Demosthenes." His voice was round and full and his delivery very good. After a solo by Miss Mamie Berry, Mr. Eli Cann was introduced and spoke on "Herbert Spencer's Theory of the State." Mr. Cann used his usual debater's delivery, which although defective from an oratorical standpoint, is very effective from an argumentative point of view. His oration received the highest grades as to thought and composition. Mr. Mayo Thomas was the next speaker. His subject was "The Anglo-American," and he did it full justice. His delivery shows marked improvement over that of last fall in the local contest here. Mr. Higgins gave several comic selections which were received with great applause. The markings of the judges are as follows: DELIVERY.
