KANSAS UNIVERSITY WEEKLY.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE.
Chancellor Snow Given Leave of Absence for a Year—W. C. Spangler to have Charge Temporarily.
At the regular meeting of the board of regents last week Chancellor Snow was given a leave of absence for the remainder of this year. The action was prompted by the condition of the Chancellor's health. Mr.W.C. Spangler was made executive agent of the board with power to act in the absence of the chancellor. This really means that Mr. Spangler will be the acting chancellor during the coming year. Mr. Sams will be here most of the time to assist in the financial work.
Chancellor Snow's relations with the University have been very satisfactory,and every one regrets that it must be temporarily severed. Every one,however,has perfect confidence in Mr. Spangler. He is a graduate of both the art and law schools, has been a regent, and has once before acted as vicechancellor. The work will go on just as smoothly as in the past.
Fairmont Club Wins in Golf.
In a heavy and disagreeable north wind on Saturday, the 10th, the Oread golf players met the delegation from the Fairmount Park club of Kansas City, in an eighteen hole match and suffered a defeat at their hands. The fact was clearly demonstrated that the Kansas City players were better trained and more skilled players than the local golfers. The score was 19 up for Fairmount.
The only Lawrence players who defeated their opponents were Herb Bullene, who won over Snider by 2 up and Prof. McClung, who got 3 up over Sullivan. Hodge of Fairmount, lowered the record on the course from 47 to 43, which was quite a surprise to the Oread members, who regarded the course as very difficult. A number of compliments were
paid to the club on the fine condition of the links, and all remarked on the natural beauty of the grounds.
The players for Fairmount were: Wessieurs, Sullivan, Rice, Matthews, Taylor, Sullivan, Hodge and Snider. For Oread: Sterling, Newson, Bullene, McClung, Gibb, Carr and Copping.
The next match to be arranged will be with the Leavenworth golf club. A challenge has also been received from Topeka. The local players are all developing skill, and inside of a year will be able to compete successfully with the neighboring clubs.
