THE 'VARSITY'S PROUD RECORD.
The Tigers Knelt Before the Jayhawkers by a Score of 6 to 2.—A Large Crowd Present to See the Game.
Washburn vs. Kansas
A Very Fast Game in Which the 'Varsity Won by Good Team Work.—An Auspicious Day.
The Missouri Tigers proved themselves easy for K. U. on McCook field Wednesday last. With four scores to the good, our boys shut them out seven innings; Missouri getting only one run in each, the third and sixth. Missouri opened up at the bat in a lively manner and succeeded in getting two men on bases, but neither one saw the home plate before their side was retired. Kansas coming to bat made two runs and it was evident from the bat of the first inning that the game belonged to K. U. Missouri playd good ball at times allowing K. U. to score only in the first and fourth innings, where, on account of Missouri's raw fielding our men scored. After the fourth the Tigers gingered up and supported their pitcher in a very creditable manner. K. U. taking the one, two, three, order for the remainder of the game.
The trip of the Kaussa University ball team opened auspiciously at Topeka, Wednesday, with a victory over Washburn college by a score of 6 to 2. The enthusiastic crowd of roosters behind the 'Varsity ioech saw the K. U. itam put up as pretty an exhibition of the national game as ever takes place on a college diamond. Kansas arrived on the field at 8:15 p.m. and a brisk practice immediately began. The grand stand was packed by Washburn supporters and the side lines were swarming with excitable faces. Numerous were the personal remarks aimed at our men and much mirth was provoked by the roundness of Clyde Alphin (for a short time.) In the center of the crowd floated a pretty Washburn flag,疟然 flaming the white W in the
ANNUAL Y. M. C. A. BANQUET.
College Institution Meets at the Eldridge
for its Third Annual Spread.
The Kan as University Y. M. C. A.
met at the New Eldridge hotel last Sat-
day evening for its Third Annual
Banquet. Plates were laid for about
250 guests, but even then many were
unable to gain admittance to the bau-
quet because of the large number in attendance. This banquet is held once a year and serves to bring the Y. M. C. A.
and its friends together around the fest-
ial board that the objects and purposes
of the organization may be explained.
face of the K U. team, which steadily and systematically wilt ed all the defiance and vivacity out of its fold and left it—a subdued little w on a mild gentle field of blue, surrounded by a meek and sorrowing Washburn aggregation of Washburn femininity. Over on the side lines the vinegar K U. delegation pranced, "Rock Chalking" all the spirit out of the Congregational team rooters provoking the most astonishing brilliant pyr technical displays, interspersed by occasional balloon ascensions by Alkin, the Washburn "Slat breaker.23"
Congressman J. D. Bowersock presided as teasmaster and interspersed his introduction with many little witty remarks. Regent Scott Hopkins delivered the toast "College Memories", which was an account of some of his little college scrapes. Rev. Willis G. Banker spoke on 'Our Greatest Need' in which he urged the great need of a Y. M. C. A. building adequate to the uses of the association and to be situated on the university campus. C. Harker Rhodes '04, made the hit of the evening. He spoke on 'A Freshma.' View" and while suffering from a natural embarrassment he had a forcible and effecive delivery. Dr. C. M. Sheldon delivered the toast "One Man Power" in his usual effective way. E. Haworth gave a short talk on "The Faculty
The game was called at 3:30 and K. U. came to bat but failed to score. Washburn made two hits in her half but were retired with no runs made. In the second third and f forth innings neither team scored, but K U. made two runs in the seventh. K U. made one more run but Washburn, though two hits and our only two errors scored two runs in her half and making the score 6 to 2. In the eighth, Washburn woke up and essayed to pull the game out of the fire but Alphin, undismayed by the terrific clamor, shot the sphere through with the speed of a catapult, feely lifting Shrant off his feet. In the ninth hitting Gill managed to work around to third without one man out. A husky ball player stepped up and shammed the h resoleide to deep center. Barnett caught it in perfect style and by a magnificent ut throw to Shrant, caught Gill at the plate. It was a suave piece of work, and even the disappointed Washburn paused to applaud. This double play disposed of one of the hardest games of the season and formed a fitting climax to a brilliant game.
View" during which time he managed to keep his listeners in a rear of laughter. Frank H. Smith the new President of the Y, M, C A, closed the annual gathering with a few remarks on "The Future." Everyone left the table feeling glad in his heart that he had been there and vowed to himself that he would be in attendance next year at the fourth annual spread.
Professor Miller Lectured.
Professor T. J. Miller was in Lawrence the first of the week. Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock he read a metrical dramatization of the Dido episode in Virgil, prepared by himself. The lecture room in the Physics Building was crowded to hear the noted Latin scholar. At 2 o'clock of the same afternoon he lectured before the latin students on teaching Virgil. On Tuesday afternoon at the same hour and to the same audience he gave a lecture on Roman Tragedy and read a large part of his own translation of Seneca's Media
Prof. Miller has a chair in the Latin Department of the University of Chicago. He is editor of Harper and Miller's Virgil, and has edited several other latin works. He is now preparing a latin text called the Chataqua series. His talk on tragedy and the translations were taken from this. He is a personal friend of Prof. Walker, whose guest he was while in the city.
BOAT CLUB.
By active and energetic work the boat club has succeeded in getting into good working order. The membership has already almost reached the limit. Any persons wishing to join will have to do so soon, or stay out. More than usual interest in boating is manifest and the club anticipates an unusually active season. The row boats and shells are in the very best condition and the sail boat will soon be in running order. The boat and swimming races will take place some time in May
A SNAKE IN THE GRASS.
We know not whence it came from, but it is stopping temporarily at K. U. We kn. w not its exact species and genus but will try to find out at a date not very far distant. It is thought to be an importation, but whether it came from Greenland, the South Sea Islands or Madagascar is not known; for we know not so much as the latitude it formerly inhabited, and truly it is such a one from whose company tie vertest serpentine might shrink with horror.
NO.27.
It is very doubtful how or where the above term, that is, "snake in the grass" originated; but the fact that it is so commonly used in dwarf sibling certain individuals shows what a great need it supplies. These human snakes in the grass have been known to all ages and peoples, from the first generation of our era, when Judas Iscariot gained for himself a notoriety in this line, down to April 19, 1301, when a certain individual at K. U. (with more gas than grit, more "babishness" than bravery) for special merit along this line gained undisputed right to the title.
It is said that the copperhead is the most treacherous of all reptiles; going upon this supposition we were at first disposed to so class the new unknown. But before we had time to announce our opinion the discovery of a cap or hat-like covering led to an examination of the same. The reptile seemed to be exceedingly sensitive about this newly-observed characteristic and after a somewhat prolonged examination we decided it to be a cobra. However when poked up a little, it offered no resistance, and knowing the well-known aggressive disposition of the cobra, we had to abandon this speculation. We had about given up a classification, and had turned our bucks upon the specimen; when with the fury so characteristic of cowardice (a kind of fury that is not exactly fury, but a sort of furious hatred) with the fury of cowardice and the treachery of the savage it buried its fangs in the person of its examiner; the decision was immediately reached; It was a SNAKE IN THE GRASS.
Ascribed to the memory of a certain K. U. student; here ascribed to his memory because we fear he will never be remembered otherwise. If you know not to whom ask any Freshman, Sophomore, Junior or Senior in school. Avoid being a Snake in the Grass lest you be remembered also. ANON.

BAND CONCERT.
A Goodly Sized Audience Listened to an Interesting Program Wednesday Evening.
CONCERT TO BE AN ANNUAL AFFAIR
The Kansas University Band gave its first annual concert in the Chapel last Wednesday evening. The proceeds of the affair are to help bear the expenses of the band; such as buying music, rental of horns and the purchase of uniforms. There was a good attendance and a fine program.
Almost every number was full and replete with interesting features, but some failed to respond, as in the case of Miss Van Clefe. The "Indian War Dance" made the hit of the evening, as it was something novel and unique.
The bass solo by Mr. Frank Smith, of course, made a hit and he was enthusiastically received and repeatedly enforced. Mr. Jelick rendered a violin solo in a highly artistic manner, was also well received and forced to appear a second time. The same fate awaited the mandolin and guitar duet by Messrs. Newhouse and Swayze, but Mr. Swayze failed to respond with his guitar, whereupon Mr. Newhouse generously treated his delighted hearers to a mandolin solo, which was warmly appreciated.
The concert will be an annual affair, and it will be continued for the purpose of paying the expenses of the band, as well as to furnish students of the University a most enjoyable evening's entertainment by the University Band.
Prof. Naisimith has had a 14 pound and a 12 pound hammer made, besides a 12 pound shot. They were made at the shop. A new kind of wire link handle is put in the hammer, that is very durable.
