BASE BALL OUTLOOK
Bright Prospects for a Strong Team Forty Candidates Already.

BALL NEWS.

Kansas University Played Independence
Mo., on Friday.
At present the outlook for a successful base ball season is very encouraging.
The work of arranging the schedule is being pushed rapidly and the management expects to present a series of games on the home grounds that will gladden the hearts of the most enthusiastic fan.
Manager De Graff of the Iowa State Normal School at Des Moines was in town last Saturday and arranged for a game to be played here when his team is enroute on its western trip next spring.
The Iowa Normalites hold the present championship of Iowa and this game promises to be one of the best of the season during their extended trip. The Iowa team expects to play most of the leading colleges teams of Nebraska Kansas Colorado and Texas. The K. U team will also take a trip through eastern Nebraska Illinois and Indiana probably somewhat longer than the one taken last year and including some of of the same games. Captain Poorman says the prospects for a winning team were never brighter there being about forty candidates for the various positions on the team. Of the old men there are Tucker, Barnett, Hall, Curry, Maltby, Poorman and Allipha who will contend for this years honors, while the influx of our new blood will create sharp rivalry for the different positions. Among some of the men are Gramley formerly of Washburn, star batter of last years bank of commerce team, Kansas City. Quigley, Captain of Concordia team and sub. half on K. U. football team of 1900. Tussel who is a handy man with the stick and also twirls the ball and Schrant the big right tackle will try for honors behind the hat
The men are showing a great deal of enthusiasm, working out every day in the gymnasium and also on McCook field when the weather permits.
The K. U. basket ball team went to Independence Thursday to play a series of games with the M. W. A. team of that place. A lively game is expected as that team has beaten William Jewell and Haskell this year.
Here is success to the new century base ball team.
The first regular league game of this season will be played here next Friday with the Lawrence Y. M. C. A.
The new term has opened with a week of large chapel attendance. This is a part of the course which should be elected by every student, although no credits will be recorded upon the records of the registrar. The whole student body does not assemble as often as would be well; the occasional mass meetings indicate what enthusiasm and college spirit may be developed through general assembly. A crowded chapel each morning would result inevitably in an increasing esprit de corps of which we are in great need. The spiritual benefits of these devotional exercises are not to be ignored, and
Chapel.
Rev. Mr. Bennett has been the leader this week. His general theme was "The Essence of True Religion;" his development of the subject was of a nature to encourage definite thought on the part of the students. His remarks Friday were addressed especially to the senior class.
Queen Victoria.
Anything relating to Queen Victoria is of especial interest at present. There are two books in the library which contain the autograph of the deceased queen. They belong to a set of five volumes which was presented to Mrs. Channing of Cambridge, Mass., in 1873. On the fly leaves of two of the books are notes of presentation, written by the queen and signed "Victoria R." This set was presented to the University library, Sept. 20th, 1893, by Prof. Francis J. Child of Cambridge, Mass.. Through the kindness of Miss Kate Stephens the MacMillan Co., of New York, has presented the library with Frank Stockton's "Buceaneans and Pirates of Our Coast," in its page proof form with the author's corrections.
That New Fraternity.
A new fraternity was organized in K. U. last Saturday. It is the Epsilon chapter of the Eta Pi. The colors are cerese and greec... Mr.Rith has been the chief promoter of the fraternity and was elected president. There are a goodly number of charter members with three pledged members. The first initiation was held last night. A chapter house for next year has been selected on Vermont street. The monogram is a combination of the two Greek letters, Eta and Pi.
It is to be a general fraternity, but their entire policy has not yet been given out as the members do not wish to commit themselves.
The Quill Club
Professor also spoke of the paper which our Professor Carruth read on "Ring Episode in Nathan der Weise.
The Quill club, the literary club of the University held its regular meeting Thursday afternoon. It was the final meeting of the fall term, and was a very interesting and entertaining one as the club was fortunate in having Professor Dunlap to talk on the meeting of the Phibological Association which met in Philadelphia during the holidays. The Professor spoke in his entertaining manner of the program, the men whom be met and of the real benefits to be derived from such meetings. It is not so much the scholarly papers says the Professor that one enjoys and profits from but it is the personal contact with the members. It is worth a whole lot to be among men of wide reputations to see them and hear them talk and to be with them.
It was one of the short papers that elicited favorable comment from the men in the east. Kansas was further honored by the selection of Professor Dunlap as a member of the nominating committee and the election of Professor Carruth to a position onthe executive committee. The officers of the Quill Club elected for the term: President, Mrs. Hass; Vice president, Miss Pendleton; and secretary, Miss Stanton. The work
for the ensuing term will be of the greatest interest to all who are interested in composition/
AMUSEMENTS.
THE "DEVIL'S AUCTION."
For a fifth of a century Manager Yale has continually kept the "Devil's Auction" company before the public, and each year this attraction is revised and brought up to date in every respect. The many novelties, innovations, specialties, etc., for this season far surpass all previous years; in fact, not one old feature remains, and the many patrons of this famous spectacle will find that the only thing old in the performance is the name.
Among the many new specialties may be mentioned Mille Irene and Zaza, the girl with the dog with the nuburn hair, a novel act, seen outside of New York for the first time, the three brothers Leando, comedy acrobats, the Clements sisters in an artistic singing and dancing specialty, the Sidonia troupe, an importation from the training school of Madam Phasey. This act is well deserving of first mention, as it comes direct from England under contract with Manager Yale for this year's tour of the "Devil's Auction," Richard T. Brown, the comedian, Miss Margrett Kingore, "The Vital Spark," and numerous others in conjunction with the special novelty entitled "The Dance of the Elements," an electrical novelty and produced for the first time with the "Devil's Auction," together with new scenery, costumes, trick and transformations, will undoubtedly be the best performance of this long-lived spectacle, and the patrons of the Bowersock opera house have a treat in store for them on Monday, Feb. 4th.
Manager Yabe's claim that the "Devil's Auction" company is the oldest in name, yet the newest in point of rovity can well be substantiated in this season's production in this famous spectacle, as everything is new from the time the curtain rises on the first act until it is rung down on the beautiful transformation at the close of the performance. Every act, novelty and feature being new, all the scenery, properties, etc.; in fact not one old feature is retained, and the theatre-going public of Lawrence will certainly have a treat in store for them on Monday night.
NO.18.
The Country Go.
There were not as many who took advantage of the pleasant and profitable exercise of the "go" as had anticipated, but those who did go report a pleasant time. The crowd rode the train to Sibleyville. There they spent the foremen in sight and scenery seeing. At noon they were invited by the station agent to eat their lunch in the depot. The kind-hearted agent also furnished hot coffee, the creamery supplying them with cream.
After lunch the crowd visited the creamery, then went up to the coal mine near Blue Mound. There they picked up very interesting fossils of various kinds. After a climb up Blue Mound they returned home by way of the suspension bridge.
This kind of recreation is coming into prominence among the students and will undoubtedly be very popular as spring returns
A BIG YEAR
For K. U.—This Term the Enrollment will Pass the Eleven Hundred Mark.
THE UNIVERSITY IN GENERAL.
The Appropriation Bills are Almost Sure to Pass. . . The Work Last Term.
Before the WEEKLY goes to press more than eleven hundred students will have enrolled in the various schools. This is the banner year of Kaussas. It is hard to estimate, but perhaps the enrollment for the year will pass the twelve hundred mark. There is an increase in the enrollment in all schools. This is noticeable, especially in the four year courses. This year's engineering class will be larger than ever before. The arts class will be up to the usual number, with about the same number in the fine arts class as last year. The medical school is prospering, and the law school, though graduating only a few on account of the extension of the course, is larger than ever before and has a more competent faculty than ever before.
There is general good feeling in the University. Everybody feels that the legislature is alive to the needs of the school and will gladly make the appropriations asked for. We are all living in hope. There are a number of departments overcrowded and turning students into other courses until they can be better equipped. This is noticeable in the department of English. It would require about four assistants more than the present number to handle the students in composition work.
The work last term was quite satisfactory. There were not so many total flunks as usual but perhaps more conditions. It was noticeable that several departments have sent in more than their usual number of failures. It is judged from this that these departments have tightened up considerably, and the students are thinking of a more severe grind.
Y. W. C. A. NOTES.
Before proceeding with the regular meeting Wednesday the annual election of officers was held with the result : For President, Miss Ruth Ewing; First Vice President, Helen Calhoun; Second Vice President, Miss Boyle; Corresponding Secretary, Martha Pittenger; Recordling Secretary, Daisy Dean; Treasury Winifred Everingham. Installation services for the new officers will be held Wednesday February 6th.
Miss May Williams was leader of the regular meeting Wednesday afternoon, her subject being "Friends." It seems an interesting subject to the girls present and the short time available for the service was well filled with good ideas on ideal friendship.
The members of the old and new cabinet of the association will meet at the Y. W. C. A. house Saturday night to talk over plans for the new year's work. The Bible classes have been arranged for the new term and a schedule of them is posted on the bulletin board.
Sunday afternoon Miss Eva Shultz, who has been a missionary in South America, will address the class in mission study at the Y. W. C. A. house.
