ATHLETICS.
SAGURDAY. MARCH 5.1904.
BASE BALL
Manager Plank has beer and is still trying to get a good coach for the base ball team but so far his efforts have been unsuccessful.
The applicants for positions on the team were out on McCook field for the first time Tuesday. There is a great deal of good material for all the positions except pitchers and third basemen, and with these exceptions the prospects for a team are good. Captain Sexton has certainly a difficult proposition before him in choosing from the list of applicants the right men for the places.
BASKET BALL
The members of the track team are doing steady, hard work preparing for the indoor meet at Kansas City. Manager Plank is arranging for an excursion at a very low rate and it is expected that a large crowd will accompany the team to witness the meeting with Missouri in Convention Hall.
Exchange games have been arranged with Ottawa and Baker. The first of this series will be played, Monday, March 7th, with Ottawa in the K. U. gymnasium at 4 o'clock. The dates of the other games will be arranged later.
The work of smoothing the grounds and moving the south bleachers has commenced.
TRACK ATHLETICS
The team will take a trip to Newton and one or two other places if the expenses can be arranged.
F. L. Moulton of the class of 1900, will coach the track team, this spring, coming up from Kansas City as often as his business will allow. Moulton was the fastest man the university ever had, winning the hundred yards dash in 9 4-5. The world's record held by A. C. Duffy is only 9 3-5. He also holds the 220 yards dash record for K. U. of 22 1-5 seconds, and the 220 record for Yale, and won the 100 yard dash from Harvard last year, he being then a member of the law school at Yale.

W. L. A. JOHNSON'S ADDRESS.
State Labor Commissioner Speaks to the Conference of Sociology and Economics.
At the Sociological and Economic Conference Thursday afternoon, Prof. F. H. Hodder introduced Mr. W. L. A. Johnson, State Labor Commissioner. Mr. Johnson prefaced his remarks by stating that he was a mechanic and had served sixteen years in the shops. He was consequently well qualified to deliver an address based upon the progress and influence of the trade organizations. He first dealt with the labor conditions in early England. Men were forced to work for wages established by law and were prohibited from joining guilds or confederations.
He then recounted the progress of trade unionism in the United States. The first union was formed in Boston in 1806 by the journeymen tailors. They were so violently opposed that they were compelled to meet in cellars and garrets.
During the period from 1806 to 1866 the formations of trade unions was rather spasmodic. After the war laborers began to join with each other in order to defend themselves more successfully against the capitalists. In 1872 a national convention consisting of sixty organizations was held at which it was agreed to enter the field of politics. The defeat of their nominee for presidential honors taught them that the purpose of their organization should consist of nothing more than bettering the conditions of the working people.
Later conventions confined themselves to this aim. The results are shown by the following:
In 1881 the eight hour law was advocated. It now prevails in most of the building trades.
In 1883 legislation providing for a Department of Commerce and Labor in the cabinet was demanded. Twenty years later (1903) the Department of Commerce and Labor was formed.
In 1889 the convention advocated the adoption of the Australian Ballot System. It asked for a national holiday for working men which congress established in 1894 by setting aside the first Monday in September of each year. Labor organizations were active in securing the Chinese Exclusion Act. The Seamen's Bill of 1898, which they were mainly influential in having passed, prevents the shanghaiing of American sailors. Mr. Johnson spoke of other reforms which have been secured by organized labor.
He then spoke of the last meeting of the American Federation of Labor. This body is representative of the various trades unions throughout the United States. At its twenty-third annual meeting in Boston in 1903
jt represented 25,000 organizations in the United States. During the interval elapsing between 1902-1903 it had received 440,000 additional members.
In closing his remarks Mr. Johnson said the good which labor unions had done in this country was attested by the higher social, economic and intellectual standard prevailing among laborers at the present time. He asked that students of economics view the labor question from an unprejudiced standpoint. Trades unions should not be condemned for the mistakes they make without being given credit for the progress they have made.
Kansas Will Send One Man to Oxford Next Year.
THE RHODES SCHOLARSHIP.
Chancellor Strong, as ex-officio chairman of the committee on the Rhodes' scholarship for Kansas, and upon whom devolved the duty of appointing the other members of such committee to act with him, appointed as the other two members President Plass of Washburn College and President Murlin of Baker University.
The committee held its first meeting Friday at the University of Kansas. It was decided that the scholarships for Kansas should be thrown open to general competition for all students who in June of this year shall completely finish the sophomore year in colleges of the state accredited by the State Board of Education. Such candidates must be between the ages of nineteen and twenty-five years and no one is competent to apply who obtained his bachelor's degree more than two years prior to 1904. The examinations will be sent by the trustees of the Rhopes' scholarship fund and will be held at the University of Kansas at Lawrence on May 23, 24 and 25. All persons expecting to enter this examination should send application to the chairman of the committee at Lawrence on or before the first day of April, 1904.
Information in regard to the subjects in which examinations will be given may be obtained by addressing Chancellor Strong. One scholar only will be chosen for the coming year and he will enter the University at Oxford in October, 1904.

INTERCOLLEGIATE NEWS.
Julia Marlowe, the famous actress, has attacked college dramatics. She says they are altogether too light, and that the type of college play which prevails in the greater number of American universities and colleges is a disgrace to the intellect of both the spectators and actors. Miss Marlowe makes a strong plea for more classical plays. She goes so far as to say that if classical plays were more in vogue in college dramatics, the whole tone of the stage would be changed for the better and educated audiences would be drawn to the best class of serious plays. "The brand of college theatricals they now furnish is mainly a cheap combination of campus slang and buffoonery," she savs, "The women of our schools do much better than the the men. Smith college will this year present Romeo and Juliet, and Barnard college a performance of "The Rivals." These announcements are significant of a most welcome interest in the higher walks of the drama by college bred women, and their brothers might well imitate their example."
In view of the fact that groups of men are constantly leaving the campus to take rooms together at some hotel or private club, the students at Yale are seeing a great danger to unified college spirit. This tendency is becoming more and more marked and today scarcely any of the sophomores room on the campus. As a consequence it is said that the students are loosing common interest and the famed democratic spirit of Yale is on the wane. In an effort to prevent this the sophomores societies were abolished, but this did not work out as expected. At present an effort is being made to procure Durfee hall, one of the college dormitories, especially for a sophomore dormitory. This will bring the class more together in a favorable way.
Nebraska had forty men out in the base-ball field last Wednesday.
