ATHLETICS.
The Seniors have the strongest team in the University this year and propose to make things lively for the Juniors and the Faculty.
The baseball management is negotiating with the Denver Athletic Club for a game of ball.
Prof. Newson being unable to devote the necessary time to the management of the bace ball team has resigned, and at the last meeting of the Athletic Board, Mr Harding was elected to succeed him
The K. S. U. base ball team will play a game with the team of Haskell institute a week from to morrow on McCook field. This is the first game of this season and will show the mettle of our boys.
The high wind interfered with base ball practice last Saturday, but a game was played. Smith is a good pitcher, but is rather wild at times. He seems to be the best pitcher available, and will improve with a little practice.
President Garrett of the Athletic Association, received a letter Wednesday from the manager of the ball team of the University of Iowa asking for a game of baseball with our team this spring.
The Kansas Methodist conference has given football a black eye, but it cannot deprive the young men of Baker University of the joy of having met and wiped off the face of the earth everything in their territory worth defeating. It is yet six months until football will be played again to any great extent, and the conference will have ample time to modify its sirtleness on the college game, as the rules themselves are modified. But since football is such a brutal sport, it may be naturally asked how the ministers became so familiar with it as to distinguish and mark for special disfavor the "stlying and mass plays" mentioned in the resolutions.—Kansas City Times.
Everyone will be sorry to learn that "Jim" Kelcey will be unable, at least for a white, to play his customary place on the ball team. He has received positive orders from his physician to give up all violent exercise on account of injuries received last summer. He has resigned his place as captain of the team; but may be able to be in his usual place before the end of the season. At the last meeting of the Athletic Board Mr. Matteson was elected temporary captain to take his place.
There is a prospect that there will be some good boat races this spring, as may be judged from the men who are to form the crews. The crews that have already engaged the boats in the morning are 5-6. Hill and Rickseecker; 6-7. Newton and Stuart, and Raymond and Topping; 7-8. Parker and Jantzen, and Ochler and Clark; and in the afternoon 2-3 Duffee and Edwards; 4-5 Crosby and Schroder and Taylor and Checlede; 5-6 Allen, Waltmire and Galbreath; 6-7 Orr and Cox; 7-8 Squires and Wyriek, and Biggs and Brown. If enough interest is shown in boating to warrant it, the Association will buy the boats at the end of the year, and will probably purchase some better boats soon. The river here furnishes a course that can hardly be improved upon and those interested in boating will have the hearty support of the Athletic Association in their efforts to give boating the high place that it deserves here, among athletic sports.
Jay Luther Taylor of Baker has broken out again. Nothing very serious however. Prof. Newson wrote to the manager of the Baker aggregation to arrange a game for the spring season of base ball. But the Bakerites are not the people to run the risk of being defeated. Last year after having, by a succession of lucky accidents won one game of football, they very generously offered to play another game if K. U. would give them a guarantee if $500, enough to run their team for about two years. This year, it would seem, they have decided not to risk their reputation by playing even one game. Prof Newson received the following answer:

DEAR SIR—In answer to your letter or March 10th I will say that our Athletic Association positively refuses to permit our base ball team to meet you until you have settled the football difficulty.
Very truly,
J. LUTHER TAYLOR,
Secretary Athletic Association.
Prof. Cowan and Physical Culture.
Work called for on Monday afternoon and delivered on Friday afternoon. All work guaranteed to be first class
Mr. Cowan also has charge of the religious culture of the University and it is be hoped that a new life may be given to this all important branch of training in our University without which no man is well fitted for a truly successful life. We now have an instructor in our midst who is capable of teaching the English Bible, and we should like to see the question of having such a study in the curriculum of the University revived.
Prof. Cowan and Physical Culture.
Prof. Hector Cowan arrived at the University last Wednesday. Thursday morning he led the regular chapel exercises at which a large number of students were present. From 9:10 to 10 o'clock he met the first division of his physical culture classes, and after calling the roll, briefly outlined the work. The three divisions in physical culture under his direction will meet from 9:10 to 10, 12 to 1, and 4 to 5. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. At first the exercise will be entirely with dumb bells, and later with other apparatus which will be provided. Mr.Cowan does not vane very highly the Indian club as a means of exercise, as he claims that it is merely for show, and that the dumb bell is a far more valuable instrument or real physical development. The Juniors and Seniors will not be registered in any of these classes but may attend when they desire.

The Second International Convention of the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions, convened in Dearborn, Feb. 18 to March 5th inclusive. As the name implies, it is a movement to lay before the English speaking student world the claims and needs of Foreign Missions. The movement had its genesis eight years ago in a new England college and has spread until now it embraces not only the whole United States but also Canada and the British Isles. In America there is an enrollment of about 4,000, while in the British Isles there are 700 more and 684 volunteers are already on the field. For the first time the students of the Anglo-Saxon world are united in a mighty enterprise. In numbers the convention was larger, two to one, than any meeting of students ever held. There were in attendance 1187 students from 294 institutions, representing 38 denominations. Including all who took part in the convention as student delegates or speakers we have a total of 1357. The convention was one marked throughout by prayers and thought rather than by surface enthusiasm. Among those in attendance were: John R. Mott, Rev A. J. Gordon, Rev A. T. Pierson, R. E. Speer, Rev J. Hudson Taylor and Miss Geraldine Guinness of London, England, Geo C. Stebbins, Rev H. C. Mable. Besides these there were present the representatives of the leading mission boards and societies of America.
Student Volunteer Convention.
Ex-President McCosh of Princeton, in speaking of this movement recently, declared that it was the greatest offering of young men and women to foreign missions since the day of Pentecost.
COMMUNICATIONS
It is indeed surprising, that a body of men with as much wisdom as the faculty of our University, should in some few instances, go so far from what the students wish, when there is so little cause for such action. Early in the autumn, the Senior class took action upon the matter of having no members of the class deliver addresses on Commencement day, but in their stead have some noted man—some man to whose discourse all could listen without experiencing weakness. This sentiment was voiced by the entire class, and a committee was appointed to confer with the faculty in regard to this matter. The reason for this action on the part of the class, was that their idea was progressive. It is the modern idea of class Commencement days, having entirely supereded in eastern colleges the old way of having inexperienced boys and girls expound their wisdom to a long-suffering and possibly, over indulgent audience.
As a usual thing, the faculty of Kansas State University has very few of these petitions from an entire class, and since they are so seldom petitioned it seems pure obstinacy on their part to stick to an obsolete custom so persistently, especially when against the protests of the very ones chosen to represent the class at this time, unless they can give a good—a very good reason for it. In other colleges, this matter is left to the class itself to decide.
The plan suggested by the class has been tried before at K. U. with perfect success. Last year the class took the same action in regard to the matter, with like results. Cannot some member of the faculty write an explanation of this matter, for the next number of the Students Journal and greatly oblige.
