Basket Ball.
K. U. 25; TOPEKA 22
TheVarsity basket bell team defeated the Topeka Y.M.C.A. team in a close game Thursday night by a score of 25 to 22.
The game was a very hard one throughout and very rough. Many fouls being given on both sides.
The K, U. team did not play together in the first half and at the end of the half the score 14 to 10 in favor of Topeka, but in the second half the boys got together and with the aid of 4 goals and seven free throws won the game.
The team work of the Topeka boys was good and they were clean in their handling of the ball while the Varsity fumbled several times. Capt. Allen made eleven free throws. Griggs of Topeka made twelve. Kansas made seven goals to Topeka five.

The K. U.-Haskell basket ball game bids fair to be one of the hardest games K. U. will have this season and will be well worth the price of admission. Haskell always plays a good fast game and looks upon the Varsity as a worthy rival.
Manager Plank is making every effort to make a success of the game and has provided room and seating space in the gymnasium for all who will come.
BASKET BALL TRIP
The basket ball team will leave January 29 for William Jewell, where the first game of their trip will be played. They pay Wm. Jewell Jan. 29; Omaha Y.M.C.A., Jan. 30; Sioux City, Feb. 1; Morning Side College, Feb. 2; Des Moines Y.M.C.A. Feb. 3; Highland Park, Feb. 4; Grinnell, Feb. 5 and Iowa University, Feb. 6.
The prospects for a good team are very promising. Many of the old men will be back and several good ball players have entered this year.
Either Manager Plank or Dr Naismith will accompany the team and probably one substi tute will be taken along.
The base ball applicants have commenced signing up for the positions they will try tor and work in the gymnasium will commence soon.
BASE BALL.
Manager Plank has been very busy getting a schedule arranged and reports good progress. Games have been arranged with Manhattan, Emporia, Wichita, Ottawa, Lindsborg and Fayettville, Ark., and Mr. Plank proposes a trip east to Chicago and back through Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri with games to be played with many of the principal colleges of those states.
RECOLLECTIONS OF TOLSTOY.
Prot E. A. Steiner Tells of the Great Reformer and His Work.
Professor Edw. A. Steiner lectured last night in University Hall upon "Personal Recollections of Tolstoy." The lecture was one of the most interesting ever given at the university
Prof. Steiner described the persistence with which Tolstoy has worked for the uplifting of humanity, how the Count has thrown off all claims to title and rank and completely devoted himself to the welfare of the peasant classes. In order to maintain their confidence he has become a labore like themselves, affects the peasant mode of dress and even lives upon their frugal, simple diet.
In his work for social reform Tolstoy's watch word is "sacrifice." The man who would make things better socially must give up something himself. Tolstoy is not in sympathy with the organized Nihilism of Russia. He is not even a radical socialist as so many have made him out to be. Prof Steiner quoted him as saying: "The Future does not belong to Socialism, but to Christianity." Count Tolstoy has always frowned upon any thought of revolution by means of force in Russia.
Prof. Steiner spoke of the social condition of the Russian people and in this connection he said of the controversy between Japan and Russia: "Russia cannot afford to go to war. The people are overburdeued with taxation now." He told how the sending of the Russian troops into China had increased the tax burden upon the people of Russia. All necessities of life are now taxed to the limit and should war come, people will starve. Then social revolution will not be unlikely.
In speaking of the personal appearance of the great reformer, Prof. Steiner said: "He has no racial characteristics; he is big, powerful and each feature seems to have been made without a thought of the others; his nose is too large, his eyes too small. He seems to have been made in a hurry. His is the face of original humanity immediately from God."
INTERCOLLEGIATE NEWS.
Prof. Steiner spoke of the intimate acquaintance which Tolstoy showed with American affairs. He knows all about the leaders of every religious sect and political party. He is a great reader of American books. Henry George's "Progress and Poverty" he considers the greatest American book.
Of Tolstoy's own works, Prof. Steiner considers that "The Little Peasant Tales" have had the greatest effect in bringing the Slav up to a higher plane of existence.
The new catalogue of Princeton University, which has just been published, shows a total registration of 1,431 students for the year 1903.04 as compared with 1,383 last year. This is a gain of 48. As is the case at Yale there is a marked increase in the number of Scientific students. The enrollment of the Green School of Science exceeds by 91 the enrollment of last year. In the Academic Department there is a decrease of 33-721 students this year against 754 last year—most of which is in the junior and sophomore classes. There are 380 freshmen, 108 specials, and 114 graduate students. The number of faculty members and instructors is 109.
Pennsylvania is shown to have more students at Princeton than any other state in the union—342. New Jersey sends 324 and shows a steady increase, while Pennsylvania has stood at the same number for four years or even dropped back a little. New York sends 266 men, Illinois 67, and Connecticut 23. Missouri, Wisconsin and Michigan show a falling off in numbers of men who are sent to Princeton, which may, perhaps, be the result of the strengthening and broadening of the home universities. Of foreigners there are 6 from the British Island, 1 from Turkey, 2 from Japan, 1 from China, and 4 from Canada.
The Beta Theta Pi house at Syracuse is quarantined because one of the men living there has smallpox.
The Syracuse Daily Orange, the student publication of Syracuse University, is now being printed in a shop owned and operated by students. Syracuse is the third university to have such a plant. Brown and Columbia have shops controlled by students. The printing plant is owned by a corporation known as the Orange Publishing Company, the directors and stockholders of which are all students.
In the printing shop all but the foreman are students. New machinery and type to the value $1500 has been installed. As practical "schools of journalism" these three college dailies are not now excelled.
Five resident students and three former students of the University of Chicago were lost in the Iroquois theatre fire.
A Press Club has been formed at the University of Minnesota. Although there is no class of journalism at this institution, many of the students are interested in journalism and organized the club. The club intends to unite social pleasure with its literary work.
