BASKET BALL AT INDEPENDENCE, MO.
Kansas Makes a Good Showing but Loses Both Games.
Independence Team a Strong One—Has Been Together Five Years.
On January 31 and February 1 our basket ball team played two games with the fast M. W. A. team of Independence, Mo. This team was organized about five years ago and the players are the same now, with perhaps one exception, as at the beginning. They understand each other perfectly and play a fast and furious game. However, our boys, though they did not beat them, had them badly scared all during the first game. They made the first goal and run the score up to five points before Independence scored a point. The game was exceedingly rough and not very fast. Two of our boys received sprained ankles during the first half, and Smith, during a scramble for the ball received a kick in the shoulder, which caused him to retire from the game. Fees took his place, but his shortness of stature put him at a great disadvantage in matching his man, who was over six foot. F Owens was very unlucky in goal throwing, but made one or two pretty throws. Joe Alford also made several good throws from the midst of a squabble. H. Owens played a different man in each game and in both cases clearly out played his man. Sawtelle played the star game at back. He played against Dick, the fast Independence for ward, whom the Independence people think can not be held down. Neverthe less, in the first game he only succeeded in throwing one goal off Sawtelle, when it is his habit to throw seven or eight, and if that is not holding him down what is? In the second game Sawtelle played the entire game with a sprained ankle, and succeeded in holding his man down four goals.
The first game resulted in a score of 11 to 8; the second, 29 to 13, both in favor of Independence. Our boys, on the whole, played better than they themselves expected and opened the eyes of Independence, who expected a complete walk-away.
Y. W. C. A. NOTES.
The Mission study class has taken up an interesting new book called "Protestant Missions in South America."
The reception to the seniors given at the home of Prof. and Mrs. Hodder, Friday night, was one of the not enjoyable association events of the year. Their spacious new home is most admirably adapted for entertaining, and they, with the association committees, succeeded very completely in making the evening a delightful one to all.
A gospel meeting will be held Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m. in the Congregational church. Every Y. W. C. A. girl should be present and bring a friend.
The cottage prayer meetings held early in the year, have been again resumed, and will be held each Monday evening as formerly.
Miss Stafford was presented with a beautifully bound volume of the "Rubaiyat," at the Wednesday afternoon meeting as a slight expression of the appreciation of her untiring energy and devotion as president of the association. Under her administration a most substantial growth has been attained, and her successor, Miss Ewing, will have a good foundation upon which to build the next year's work.
The meeting Wednesday afternoon was an installation service for the new officers of the association, and was well attended considering the stormy weather. Miss Barth had charge of the opening exercises, of which a very pretty duet by Misses Walton and Stern was a part. The retiring president, Miss Mabel Stafford, then gave a short address, recalling briefly the aims of the association and urging to constant effort for the future. The message she left on relinquishing her office, was "Daughter, I say unto thee, arise," and her interpretation was surely an inspiration to more earnest effort. At the conclusion of her address Miss Stafford conducted the short installation service for the new officers, and Miss Ewing, then took charge of the meeting.
Dr. John H. Outland will Coach Kansas.
Just as we go to press, general nanna ger Foster gives out the news that Dr. John H. Outland has signed the contract that makes him our head coach for next year. Mr. Foster has been negotiating with various men for some time but it was only a few days ago that the athletic board took definite action and gave Mr. Foster general instructions. The WEEKLY will say more of Dr. Outland next week.
Pigeon Hole Mail Service.
The University has just put in twenty-four small boxes, lettered from a to y, inclusive, in the lower corridor. These boxes will be used for notes from students to one another, from calm to students and vies versa from the University to the students. They will also be used for letters that may accidentally stray uy from the post office.
Chapel.
Diversified leadership has characterized Chapel exercises this week. Monday Prof, Penny conducted a musical service; the superiority of our Hymnal was indicated and parts of several bymns were sung. Tuesday, Prof. Adams gave a strong tribute to the memory of Queen Victoria who had been so long the Heart if not the Head of England.
Prof. Sayre made some practical remarks Wednesday in regard to chapel attendance; it is suggested that a prize be offered to the man who shall cause migration to the front seats in chapel. Thursday Prof. Bailey presided and the week closed Friday with an announcement by secretary Hansen of the Universal Day of Preyer for Colleges; this day is Sunday Feb. 10, and it was ap pointed for this purpose by representatives of the Christian Association from sixteen countries at a meeting held at Versailles, France last August.
When the prize for filling front seats is won another will be offered to the person who will drive the contents of the halls into the chapel at the proper hour.
The attention of the law boys is divided this week, between their classes and the work of the District Court, now in session. The Middle laws hold Moot Court, under Dr. Burdick on Fridays, and the Juniors under Prof. Higgins, on Thursdays. Each court is provided with its proper quota of officers, and much business is ground out each week.
The Senior laws were examined on the subject of Roman law by Prof. Burdick on Tuesday.
AMUSEMENTS.
"Arizona."
In its field among plays "Arizona" must be placed with the classics, which like the books bear well a second and third visit. The large audiences which filled the Grand Opera house both afternoon and evening yesterday were evidently in the second or third stage of their "Arizona." The characters must have been familiar to have received such ovarations, and even thought they knew just what was coming, their interest was as intense as when it was all a surprise. For the first time since the play has been given in Kansas City the part of Estrella is being acted. Grace Thorne, who has noting to do that gains applause, commands respect for her acting — K.C. Star, Bancrook Opera house Fiddler Ed
Bowersock Opera house Friday, Feb. 15.
A genuine sensation is looked for in the performance of Black Patti's Troubadours. The company is unquestionably one of great merit and its versatile and talented artists are capable of giving a magnificent entertainment. The delightful feature of the performance is the happy mingling of comedy, burlesque, vaudeville and opera, which is presented with the most corsommate artistic taste and splendid stage surroundings. Black Patti is a host in herself, and although the star of the company, she is surrounded with a coterie of singers and comedians such as are rarely found in traveling combinations. Bowersock Opera house, Wed., Feb. 13.
The new musical comedy which is produced by the "Two Real Coons" Will liams and Walker and their own big company of fifty people, will be seen at Bowersock's Opera house Feb. 11th and it has been conceded to be the most successful production of the season. This company includes among its members The Freeman Sisters, singers and aerobic dancers; Famous Golden Gate Quartette Sutton, Coates, Winefred and Coates, comedians, vocalists and buck dancers; Alice Mackey, Fred Douglas and Reese Bros. champion Baton jugglers and gymnasts; the phenomenal soprano vocalist; George Catin, the only colored Chinese impersonator in the world; Ada Overton, the charming lyric artist; Miss Lottie Tompson, character comedienne; Jessie Shipp, producer and comedian will introduce an entirely new specialty.
Williams and Walker and their own big company, as usual this season have a new and original musical farce comedy. The name of the company comedy is "Sous of Ham" and was written to show the peculiar style of these colored artists. These two comedians stand above in their style of work and it is unnecessary to go into details about them as their reputation is world wide. Many new and novel specialties will be seen as the comedy progresses. Spectacular cake walk ballet with electrical effects will be introduced.
NO.19.
A Grand Chorus of thirty beautiful colored girls with trained voices. Fifty people all told is carried by this company and all special scenery. The production is under the direction of those well known amusement caterers, Hurtig and Seamon which is a sure guarantee of its being up to date in every particular.
The familiar figure of Judge David Martin is seen on the hill every afternoon now. We regret to notice that he was greatly reduced in health by his late illness, which also delayed him in meeting the class in Equity, for some weeks
JOHN MARSHALL DAY.
Hundredth Anniversary of Marshall's Appointment as Chief Justice.
Meeting Held Under the Auspices of Law School.
Monday forenoon the 10 and 11 o'clock classes were dismissed and all students invited to attend a meeting in the chapel. The meeting was held by the law school in honor of the one hundredth anniversary of the installation of John Marshall as chief Justice. The affair was well attended by both students and p ockers.
The program opened with a song by the Jay Hawker quartette. Mr. Spangler, chairman for the occasion, then gave a short talk, stating the purpose of the meeting, also giving a short history of John Marshall as lawyer, and his appointment to the position of chief justice. He stated that since Mr. Marshall was the leading lawyer of his time it was fitting that the exercises should be held by the law school.
Mr. Kolb, junior law, delivered an onation on John Marshall. He spoke of the strong personality of Mr. Marshall, physically, mentally and morally. His talk was interspersed with wit and humor, and contained many anecdotes illustrating the character and habits of Marshall.
Mr. Peyton Carter, middle law, gave an oration on "John Marshall as Jurist." He gave a short history of the work done by Mr. Marshall while chief justice, also his influence in helping to secure the ratification of the constitution. He related the strength, clearness and definiteness with which Marshall gave his decisions.
Mr. J. G. Slonecker, lawyer, of Topken, was then introduced. Mr. Slonecker delivered an address on the life and work of John Marshall, treating first of his public then his private life. He gave an interesting history, in short, of the life of Mr. Marshall while a young man, as soldier and lawyer, and of his later life in politics. He then treated of the work of Marshall as chief justice and his manner of interpreting the constitution. Mr. Slonecker then took up the private life of John Marshall, giving his habit, his strong home attachment, and his personal characteristics. He pronounced a strong eulogy upon the life of this noble statesman.
