MAY-POLE SCRAP.
Freshmen Prove Victorious Over the Sophomores in the Annual May-Day Fight.
Day Fight.
OTHER CLASSES AND SCHOOLS REW
For several days the Freshmen and Sophomores have been making preparations for the annual May-pole fight Tuesday night the first open action was taken. The Freshmen put up their pole and flag on the campus about one o'clock, guarding it there until morning Contrary to expectations the Sophomores did not appear on the bill during the night. At six o'clock Wednesday morning they began to congregate at the corner of Ohio and Adams streets. At a few minutes past seven General Vincent ordered an advance all along the line. The brigade formed itself into a column and proceeded up Adams headed by the fatal nine who were doomed to remain out of the scrap. At the top of the bill the nine ex-commanders dropped out but the column marched steadily forward passing inside the main entrance halting before the Freshmen hone surround ing their standard, a short distance west.
General Vincent halted here long enough to form into a semi-circle and allow his different captains to select their respective victims, then on they went with a yell. Within five minutes two Freshmen lay stretched out upon the ground with fetters on hands and feet; the Sophomore losses amounting to only twelve men, one pair of shoes and a sweater. The Sophomores indiscretely scattered their prisoners over considerable territory. This gave the Freshman girls an opportunity for loosening their fallen brothers, which they promptly did. The fight waxed warm each side tying members of the other. The Sophomores lost their prisoners as fast as they were tied while the Freshmen kept close guard over their prison-ers, thus retaining all or nearly all of them. This soon resulted in a decided weakness in the ranks of the yearlings, leaving the infant band with its original strength, except for the wear and tear of the individual members. After their first lot of victims was cut loose the Sophomores played a losing game to the end. Within an hour and a quarter they were all bound and some of them tied to the pole. Here they remained until the wristle

blew at nine. At this time the flag was taken down and delivered to Chancellor Spangler, and all went to the Chapel to listen to an address by him.
ANNUAL TRIP OE THE PHARMICS.
The scrap was decidedly a tame affair as compared with last year. The Disciplinary committee had ordered all classes and schools but the Freshmen and Sophomore Arts and Engineers to refrain. Some members of that committee were on the ground witnessing the fight. This induced the Laws and Juniors to remain idle much to their chagrin.
Pharmics and Modies Make their Annual Visit to K. C.
On last Friday the students of the Pharmacy and Medical schools made their annual visit to the Kansas City as the guest of the wholesale drug firms. About 200 students made up the number which went down on the trip. After reaching the city the schools were taken through the drug establishment of Paxton Horton and Gallager where each student was presented with a fine button hole bouquet. They then were taken through the house of Evans-Smith Drug Co., where they were courteously entertained. Eli Lilly and Co. was next visited and here many practical lessons were learned by the future pharmacists and doctors. At noon the body met at the Hotel Baltimore for a sumptuous dinner given in honor of the students by the Parke Davis Drug Co. A short rest was then enjoyed after which the boys were taken through Parke Davis College store.
After a thorough inspection of the establishment the boys were given the treat of the day. The third floor of the building had been prepared sor dancing and the boys spent the rest of the afternoon dancing to the music of an orchestra as the guests of the young lady employees of the firm. It was with a sigh that the boys departed from the dance to meet at 7:30 in the evening at the Midland Hotel. The boys met in a body at 7:30 in the evening when they became the guests of the Eli Lilly Co. They occupied the front rows at the Auditorium Theatre and left on the early morning train for Lawrence after giving three cheers for the K. C. drug
Bowersock Opera House May 9.
It is not an uncommon thing to witness stage production brought to such a point of geniusness as to be almost exact reproduction of that which is seen in daily life, Theo. Kreuner, who wrote "The Angel of the Alley" for Sullivan & Harris, took for his subject the shadowy side of life as seen in a great metropolis, and laid the foundation of his story in the heart of New York City. He has tried to show the better element of poor life on the east side of New York and has given us a theme for sensation, a resume of the daily happenings of those whom the high class look upon with distrust and suspicion. He has shown us a picture of that life which is not a small portion of a metropolis.
A TRIP TO THE PEN.
Prof. Blackmar took his Sociology class to Leavenworth Wednesday to visit the Penitentiary the Soldiers' home and the Fort. There were about 85 in the party as a good many students outside of the class joined the excursion.
The train left the 'Union Pacific depot at seven o'clock and reached Lansing at nine. On arrival there the party was divided and guides conducted them around through the shops and factories where the prisoners work. Some of the boys went down in the mine which is 720 feet deep. At noon all met at the administration building and watched the men file in to dinner.
In the afternoon all went to the Soldiers' Home and over to the Fort. They were not allowed to go through the Federal prison as was intended on account of smallpox which has just broken out. Many rode to Leavenworth and stayed until time to take the train for home at five. Prof. Blackmar conducts these excursions to the Penitentiary every spring in connection with the work of his Sociology class, They are very enjoyable and instructive and helpful to those who are especially interested in Sociology work.

Held By the Enemy.
William Gillett's "Held by the Enemy" presented by a specially engaged company under the management of Howard & Doyle, the well known theatrical managers of Chicago, will be the attraction at the Opera house for one night, Friday May 24. The play is well known to most all theater-goers. It is without doubt the best production of that gifted author. A strong feature of the production will be the special scenery which is carried for each act.
Junior Laws Defeat the Middlers in Base Ball.
The class teams of the Junior and middle Law classes crossed bats on McCook field last Monday afternoon for the first class game of the season. The Middlers proved to be easy prey for the busky Juniors and were easily defeated by a score of 14 t. 7. Captain Ramsey, Russel and Quir put up a good game for the Juniors, while Pitcher Tools proved an enigma to the Middler batsmen. The Junior laws stand ready to play any class team in the University C. Russell is manager of the team and Joe Ramsey acts as captain.

WELL, WELL, OLD ROCK CHACK.
The last issue of the K. U. Weekly contains an advertisement relating to plow shoes that sell for 98 cents. They are necessary up in that mountainous country. Most of the boys wear crewers in climbing the Adams street chicken ladder. Everyone is slab-footed in Lawrence and they have a gait like jail birds that have been running a tread mill.-Western Life.

BASE BALL RECORDS
The 'Varsity Team is Playing Fast Ball on Its Eastern Trip.
Three Hard-Luck Games - Kirksville,
Highland, Park and Nebraska.
The K. U. base ball team is scheduled to arrive home Saturday night. Although the boys have had a tolerable successful trip, a team plays under on so long a trip for in addition to the strange grounds and rooteas is the fatigue and strain of the journey. Most of the games lost have been exceedingly close and in the case of Highland Park and Simpson on account of errors at critical points in the game. In the former, in the last half of the 9th inning the score was 2 to 2 with Highland Park at the bat, two men out and one man on third. Scrant overthrew third base letting in the winning run. Tucker's work was the feature of this game getting one single a two baggier and a triple also, making K. U.'s, two runs himself. McCampbell pitched the Siopson College game but the boys failed to back him up and the game was last through no account of his. The Kirksville game Thursday was lost on account of the incompetency of the嗅eire. So says the Kirksville reporter for the K.C. Journal. Giving Kansas absolutely nothing on calls and strikes and calling six unjust decisions against them. Up to the end of the eleventh ining the score stood 2 to 2. When the 12th inning was finished the score stood 8 to 7 favor of Kirksville.
Games won were, Washburn, Manhattan, Knox, Missouri. Those lost were Nebraska, Simpson, Dixon, Highland Park, Kirkasville. The one game to be played yet is with Missouri and as the result will not be known before this issue of the WEEKLY we sincerely hope it may be won making the games won and lost five each.
