KANSAS DEFEATED
SOUTH DAKOTA TRACK TEAM DE
FEATS THE JAYHAWKERS IN A
MAGNIFICENT CONTEST BY
ONLY A Few POINTS.
TREATED ROYALLY AT SIOUX CITY.
Moulton is the Bright Star of Our Team
Making 20 of Our 59 Points-An
Unfair Starter Handicaps
the Kansans.
Last Saturday, May 19th, on the athletic field of picturesque Woodland park at Sioux City, Iowa the nine finely trained South Dakota university athletes clad in vermilion suits met our nine doughty Kansans clad in their immaculate white suits, five of which bore the coveted blue Ks on the Jersey. The scene in the grandstand and the paddock about the mile race course which greeted our athletes was one which involuntarily thrilled their hearts even though our men saw nothing but vermilion ribbons and vermilion bunting everywhere and looked and looked in vain for any sign of the crimson and blue. But the crowd of over two hundred enthusiastic South Dakota students, the band from Vermilion, the gay South Dakota tallyho party which gathered to cheer on their team displayed an interest in field and track sports which was a revelation to our team. The weather was the most beautiful imaginable, but, while the track was dry, it was in poor condition for attaining very good results.
Soon Moulton and Hood and Collins are "set" for the 75 yards dash, the pistol flashes, they are off, and after a pretty struggle Moulton wins by a nice margin. Collins second. Then the little band of Kansas yell like mad for the 75 yard event had been conceded to their opponents. There is a pronounced silence in the audience as five points are chalked down for Kansas and only two for South Dakota. Then comes Cates' victory in the high hurdles and still more silence —K. U. 16; S. D. U. 4.
The 100 yard dash is announced and South Dakotaans smile again and breathe a sigh of relief and the play plays bilariously, for have they not enlisted in the struggle their pride and wonder, the winged Burkla nd? Their joy is, however, short-lived for while their wonder gets the lead of Moulton owing to a partisan starter setting Moulton back a yard at the start, Moulton catches up with the wonder after 50 yards and passes him as though he were a hitching post. K U. 13; S D U. 4. Then Hess and Owens sween the whole seven points in the discus throw and the crowd prepares itself for the inevitable. Betters on South Dakota want to bet the other way and Pat McClaine, S D U.'s trainer concedes victory to Kansas.
The bright particular star of the whole meet was Fay R. Moulton, our world's record spiller. Newspaper reports speak of his performances as "wonderful," "remarkably good," "the best ever made in this section of the west," a Sioux City paper puts it, etc., etc. Moulton was responsible for twenty of our points, winning first in every event he entered. Tobey cann next with $10\%$ and Cates next with 9.
But at this stage a succession of misfortunes and failures overtook us. Principal among our misfortunes were Captain Cates strained muscles and some abominable hurdles, a wrong award of second to Burkland by a S.D.U. judge in the 100 yd dash when Smith should have had it; the jumping of Collins from a higher elevation than Tobey; and the setting back of our runners by an unfair official, the starter, who evidenced his supreme satisfaction in the success of S.D.U. after the last race by shootin off all the loads in his starter's pistol. In pleasing contrast with the starter,s miserable tactics were the unbiased decisions and uniform courtesy of the referee of the meet, Russell A Marks of Sioux City, a fair man and a gentleman who made himself very popular with our boys both on the field and off. Principial among our failures was our loss of both first and second in the two long distance runs in which our men were completely outclassed.
Our boys found much to praise in the South Dakota boys, and speak highly of the excellent treatment accorded them by
the northern university boys. They are of the right stuff, and it is to be trusted that the magnificent meet just closed may be supplemented by many others in the future and very soon avenged by a foot ball game next fall, in which sport our relative merits may be different.
A word of praise should be spoken for F. A. Gray, manager of our team, who succeeded in securing the best meet K. *U*, ever participated in on such favorable terms. The total expense of the trip to our team was nearly $200, all of which was borne by S. D. U. Summary:

NEBRASKA DEFEATED.
SATURDAY THE 'VARSITY NINE DEFEATED THE NEBRAKAS IN A GOOD GAME BY A SCORE OF 8 TO1.
WAS HARD HITTING THAT DID IT:
Gordon of Nebraska, Was an Easy Mark for the Kansas Fluggers.
Saturday at McCook field was pulled off one of the best games of the season. It was the return game with Nebraska. The visitors were in good form considering their extensive trip and the Kansas team was in good trim except that Moore was out of the game, which caused some change in the players. Parent was behind the bat and did good work. Tucker was at third and played a splendid game. Jenkinson was in the left field and Maltyb in right. The home nine was somewhat patched up, but played a mighty fine game.
There was no time in the game when the score was close, or when the Kansas fans feared losing the game. It was Kansas's victory from the first innning. Nebraska played mighty fast ball ball. In fact the visitors were the fastest team on the home grounds this year but could not score but once because there was no opportunity. They found much difficulty in hitting Hall and were not successful in bunching hits. Time and again men were advanced to the third bag but so cleverly was the game played by the Varsity that the visitors could not score. There was no opening, everything was closed in on before it was possible to score a run
The usual Kansas game was played from the beginning. Parent hit, followed by Poorman's single when Housh landed a home run directly over center, the prettiest hit of the year. Three men came trotting in and the sight struck consternation to the hearts of the visitors. Everybody yelled and Housh was decidedly the hero of the game. The visitors took a brace and retired the next three men without further scoring. They also retired the Varsity during the second third, fourth and fifth innings without scoring. In the sixth Housh made the circuit aided by Parent's and Poorman's effective batting. In the seventh the fireworks were begun anew, a continued story from the first inning. The Varsity had the game all the time but wanted to put on the finishing touches and show the visitors some things about the game. Four men crossed the home plate and the game was practically finished. Parent, Poorman, Housh, Tucker and Frebert did some slugging in the famous seventh that was a surprise to the visitors.
It is easy to tell the visitor's part of the the story. For the first two innings they went out in one, two, three order with the exception of a walk in the second. It was in the third that the Varsity had its bad luck which let the visitors score their only run which like Washburn's only run was accidental. The Nebraskans bit ball on calsy but nally only three times for a safe, and these were scattering. The fielding game of the 'Varsity was almost perfect which shut off any possible chance of the visitors scoring.
Nebraska has some men who are good enough to play on the 'Varsity nine. Deputation in center was quite a favorite with the boys. He made one or two phenomenal catches, but did not bat well. Reeder at second played a mighty pretty game. They all played well but not well enough.
It would be treating our own team hateful to say who was the best man, for ever everybody played just as well an any one could desire.

Mr. Buzi announces the completion of the "oo" Annual. It will be first placed on sale at the Senior play, and afterward on the hill.
This year has been one of the most difficult in the history of the school for getting out an annual. The Laws refused to go in with the Arts, and got one out for themselves. The Pharmacy school is also getting out a year book. Besides this Mr, Buzzi has been compelled to oversee a large part of the editorial work The book is a very creditable one, however, and deserves the support of the school at large. It is not a book of one department nt, but of the whole University.
