Is warranted to wear longer than those swell PATENT LEATHER ones, but we notice the "Hill Boys" all grab for the
MISSOURI WON.
Decision of Judges Were 2 to t for Missouri.
Both Sides Did Fine Team Work and Presented Good Argument.
KANSAS TEAM WELL ENTERTAINED.
Missouri University defeated Kansas in the debating contest held in Columbia Mo., last night. The debate was held in the University Chapel. There was a small attendance, the crowd numbearing less than three hundred, nevertheless they were very enthusiastic and gave the three Kansans a sample of Tiger yelling. The Kansas team has been in preparation for several weeks and had developed a degree of team work that approached the limit of perfection. But when it went out to do the battle prepared for, it met an equal in the team from Missouri. Three times our team went against the boys to the East, slowly forcing the heights of eloquence, but each time sank back to give way to Tiger yells and allow the fine Missouri eloquence to spend. At last Kansas concentrated all her energy to make a final attack upon the Missouri arguments, Tolan lead the charge but could not bring the judges to see that the points were lacking in force and fidelity. One Judge was convinced that Kansas had the right idea, but two remained true to the Missouriians whether they presented any logic or not. Missouri did fine team work and presented good argument, the personality of the speakers and their delivery were the weaker points. Our team very much resembled them in all respects and would have likely won had the contest been held in Kansas. The two schools have been rivals for years and Missouri is overjoyed at the thought of her victory.
The question debated was "Resolved that the Federal Government Should Subsidize the Merchant Marine." Our boys had the negative. The program was as follows:
Mo. Aff. Kan. Neg.
Newton Cheadle,
Woodson McMath,
Dearing Tolan.
REBUTTAL.
Newton Tolan.
Mr. Newton was Missouri's strongest man. He was an entertaining taker but was especially strong in argument. The forceful logic of this one man did a great deal towards winning the decision. Mr. Woodson also excelled in the point of logic and had much the same style as Mr. Newton. They had evidently consulted the same logicians and had received similar tips. Mr. Dearing on the other hand had confided his troubles to the elocutionists and worked up a fine delivery. His eloquence was very interesting and furnished good entertainment for the Kansans. The strong points of our boys have been so often displayed that a mere mention of the names brings up the vision of eloquence, logic and strong personality the Missourians had to overcome in winning. The boys were well entertained at the hands of our neighbors and report a pleasant trip. They were given a reception by the band. Thursday night Friday and Friday night were spent in Columbia and now
The Third Annual Banquet of the University Y. M. C. A. promises to be the greatest affair of its kind ever giver by the Association. Last year Governor Stanley acted as toastmaster, Dr. Williston, Regent Ackley and others responded to toasts. The dining room of the New Eldridge was crowded to the limit.
Congressman Bowersock will act as toastmaster and Rev. C. M. Sheldon of Topeka, Regents Scott, Hopkins and other interesting and prominent men will respond to toasts. The banquet will be given at the New Eldridge Saturday evening April 20th. The affair is in honor of the Association's new officers.
The Y. M, C. A. Banquet on April 20th at the New Eldridge.
KANSAS- COLORADO PRELIMINARY.
Held in University Chapel Last Saturday Evening.
Mowry and Gardner Chosen.
- It was originally planned to hold the Colorado preliminary on Friday evening but when it was announced that coal was lacking and the room could not be heated, the contest was postponed twenty-four hours. When it finally came off there was a small crowd and only four contestants. The speakers in their order of speaking were 1. C. A. Gardner; 2. W. F. Mowry; 3. Ed Mechem; 4. W. C. Boyles. The question was "Resolved that the Best Interests of Civilization Demand the Dismemberment of China."
Mr. Gardner came first. His debate showed considerable preliminary reading but little preparation of the speech itself. He gave the plan for dismemberment of China. He showed why dismemberment would accomplish more in China than integrity. By his hard logic he attempted to convince the business man and the practical politician who were judges.
Mr. Mowry, first on the negative how ever thought he could better gain the decision by talking directly to the minister. Mr. Mowry presented the plans which were to be followed out in case Kansas and Colorado decide to retain the integrity. Mr Mowry followed this plan up with arguments proving that, in case the two states decide to dismember that celestial Empire they will make a fatal mistake.
The Judges were Treas. Folks, Rev Millan and State Rep. Rilling. Gardner was the unanimous choice for first place and W. F. Mowry was awarded second There is no doubt that we have an excellent team. Gardner has for the past two years been an active worker in literary societies and is an old debater. Mowry is an old debater and will help to entertain the neighbors on the west right royally. He was one of the team which debated with Colorado at Boulder last year. The Legal Fraternity Phi Delta Phi has his name on its roll book.
Mr. Cassity is pledged to the Pnr Delta Phi.
Last Sunday each of the ministers had a large congregation—of Easter bonnets.

SEASON OPENS.
K. U. Defeat Ottawa Monday at Ottawa.
A STORY OF THE GAME.
The 'Varsity Team Work was the Fea-
ture of the Game.
The boys who went to Ottawa Monday were treated to a regular 4th of July game. It was replete with spectacular fielding and daring base running. The Varsity team without having played together before gave an exhibition of team work the like of which has always made the K. U. athletic teams winners. All of the boys showed up well especially Shrant and McCampbell. Shrant's catching was sure and his throwing speedy and accurate. He also batted well. Curry at first base was a trifle nervous but that will wear off and he will make a good first base man. McCampbell covers lots of ground at second, is a sure fielder and a good thrower. White at short plays an excellent game, having a terrific whip. He will play at third when capt. Poorman gets back into the game. Tucker played third very well, showing no inconvenience in going from the field to the difficult corner. Leonard, Barnett and Quigley played an errorless game in the outfields. Barnett's work was on the sensational order. Quigley led the team at the bat getting two singles and a two baggger out of four times up. Allphin pitched a remarkable game, allowing only five scattering hits, no two of which were in the same inning. He fanned five men and gave no free passes.
Ottawa scored in the first inning on a hit by Forgeberg who stole second, was sacrificed to third and came home on a fly to right, which Leonard was a trifle slow fielding in. This ended Ottawa's scoring, although it took fine pitching by Allphin to get out of some of the tight places.
K. U, scored one in the fifth and one in the sixth and but for some very hard luck would have had more. Tucker being caught twice at the plate, both times the decision being close.
