K. U. Takes Another Game From the Quakers,
K. U. added one more game to her string of victims by shutting out the Quakers with a score of 3 to 0. The game was the best one seen on McCook field this year. It was a pitcher's battle between Pyle and McGill, both men having the opposing teams at their mercy. Pyle struck out ten men and gave no free passes to first, while McGill struck out nine men and allowed one man to walk. Both teams played a fast fielding game, K. U. having slightly the better of it in this department.

The class game between the junior laws and the medics this morning on McCook field resulted in a victory for the law boys by a score of 9 to 6. There will be two more class games to decide the championship. The winner of the senior-sophomore game will play the final game with the junior laws.

A number of students went down to attend the concert.

COLORADO WINS DEBATE.
The K. U. Colorado debate at Boulder last Saturday night resulted in a victory for Colorado. Kansas had the affirmative of the question; Resolved, That Employers are justified in not recognizing labor unions In the choice of judges for the debate, Colorado went the limit of discourtesy with the Kansas boys. By the agreement between the Universities, K. U. was to submit four names to Colorado from which the latter were to choose two judges; and Colorado was to submit two names to K. U. from which one judge was to be chosen.
Kansas chose a judge from the two names submitted by Colorado; but when the K. U. boys got to Boulder they learned that Colorado absolutely refused to accept any one of the men proposed for a judge. The K. U.boys submitted the names of ten men and still Colorado refused. Finally the K. U. team was compelled either to take the remaining two judges, men that Colorado named, or return home and pay the expenses of the trip themselves. The Kansas debaters finally allowed Colorado to name the judges, and Colorado named the three and got the decisions of all.
The Kansas team feels that the Colorado university gave them very unfair treatment and say that they are not anxious to continue debates with the school.

The last lecture will be given by W. A. White of the Emporia Gazette. The date is not yet known.
McCARTY WINS.
o Opposition to Foster for Secretary and Treasurer—Board Divided Equally Between the Two Tickets.
The Weekly election yesterday resulted in the election of the following men: officers: Editor in chief, W. G. McCarty; See'y. and Treas., Geo. O. Foster; and Carl Riley, Mabel Jenkins, Ada Bechtel, Helen Alder, Dana Gatlin, C. A. Leinbach, Emil Brunner and E. R. Gentry for the new members of the board.
This election was preceded by one of the hottest political fights ever made on the hill. Two tickets were in the field and every place excepting that of secretary and treasurer was contested hotly. Each side claimed the election last night when the polls were closed and it was not until all the votes had been counted that Mr. Keyser's supporters admitted defeat. The board elect is composed of people from both tickets; four on each side being elected.
Following is the official returns showing the number of votes received by each candidate; Editor in chief, McCarty 218, Kayser 183; Sec. and Treas. Geo. O. Foster 404; board members, Carl Riley 370, Mabel Jenkins 368, Helen Alder 346, Dana Gatlin 330, Emil Brunner 308, E. R. Gentry 226, C. A. Leinbach 226; W. L. Simpson 192, L, P. Purtan 185, Lapham 147, Carl Morgan 77.
One new feature of this Weekly campaign was a statement by each of the candidates in the course of procedure which each promised to follow, if elected. Both favored a reorganization of the management of the Weekly and if possible the establishment of a daily paper, or at least the publication of a university papper three times per week.
Mr. McCarty has had considerable newspaper experience having published a college paper at Emporia; worked upon the Emporia Gazette and is at present the university correspondent for the Kansas City Star,

P. S. CREAGER LECTURES
the Telegraph Editor of the K. C. Journal Tells Something of the News End of Newspaper Work.
P. S. Creager, the telegrapheditor of the Kansas City Journal, lectured to the Economic Conference and class in Journalism Thursday afternoon at 4:30 on the "News End of a Newspaper." "The Policy of a Newspaper" said Mr. Creager, "is to give the greatest satisfaction to the greatest number in the line of news." "News is what the public desires to read and what they have a right to know." He spoke about the wide difference between the so called news of various newspapers. The inclination toward sensationalism which the New York papers follow and the broader, less sensational news printed by all the Chicago papers, save one. He spoke of the craving for nastiness which some newspaper readers have, and the desire of some few newspapers to fill this want.
Mr. Creager spoke of the "fake" stuff which some newspapers printed and pointed out the serious danger in guessing at a news story. The country correspondents for the metropolitan papers came in for their share of attention here. Too many are inclined to over color their news stories in order to give the paper a good story and a continual watch must be kept at the office to prevent the special correspondent from enlarging too much upon facts.
He spoke of the desire upon the part of the news paper to tell only the truth in its news columns. "The usual city editor," said Mr. Creager, "would sooner loose out on a half dozen news stories than print one untrue news article".
He spoke of three important requisites for a successful newspaper reporter; he must know what news is; must be able to judge its value; and lastly be able to write it up clearly and concisely.
