BASKET BALL.
NO.14.
First Game at Liberty, Mo., with William Jewel.
Monday night K.U. and William Jewel played basket ball at Liberty, Mo. The game was splendidly played and K. U. only lost by the close score of 6 to 8.
The team left here Monday afternoon. The delegation consisted of Manager Russell, Prof. Naismith, Fred Owens, forward; Joe Alford, forward; Herb Owens center; J. H. Sawtell, back; C A. Smith, back; and Gould and W.A.Smith, substitutes.
The game started off with a rush for K. U., and all through the contest our boys clearly outplayed their opponents. K.U. made five goals that the umpire refused to count and this lost the game. When the ball went out of bounds the K.U. boys immediately returned it and resumed playing. The umpire objected every time to the place of return and refused to count the goals that were made immediately after. The boys are well pleased with their trip, but feel that they deserve better treatment at the hands of the umpire.
The game was very exciting. At the end of the second half the score was a tie, and it took several more minutes to decide it. During the second half Joe Alford sprained his ankle and Gould went in. At the end of that half Smith took Sawtell's place.
The students of William Jewel were very enthusiastic. A large crowd was out, and it simply went wild after the game. To liven up matters there was also a cane
rush. The Missourians were certainly outplayed but they are not unacquainted with the game. Over one hundred men tried for places on their team, which is good evidence of its strength.
INTER-COLLEGIATE.
The main building of the State Agricultural college at Ames, was destroyed by fire last week. The loss is about $100,000.
A number of the college papers are planing to put out elaborate foot ball numbers. The Round Table from Beloit, Wis., has already reached us, and it is certainly a fine number.
Students at the University of Wisconsin who miss either the last recitation before vacation or the first after will not be allowed to take final examination. We rather think there will be a full attendance.
Three Princeton freshmen were fined thirty dollars each for stealing the clapper from the bell of "Old North church." They intended to have the clapper melted up and made into small coins to be sold as souvenirs, the proceeds to be used for paying the fines.—Vidette Reporter.
Junior Meeting.
The Juniors held a short class meeting Monday noon. The question of interest was the "Prom." It was decided not to give it until after Easter. The hall was not selected, but it is very likely to take place in the Eldridge hall. The class decided to meet again next Monday and make definite arrangements.
