RECORDS BROKEN.
SATURDAY EVENING AT THE INDOOR MEET CATES RAISED THE FENCE VAULT AND THE STANDING BROAD JUMP AND SAW-TELL RAISED THE SNAP-UNDER RECORD.
A SUCCESSFUL MEET.
A Good Crowd Attended-There Was Enthusiasm and Interest, and the Men Showed Training
On last Saturday evening quite a large crowd assembled at the Y M C A gymnasium to witness what proved to be one of the most successful indoor meets we have ever had. Records were broken any number of times. Towards the end of the program many remarks were heard concerning the length of it and the large number of events which were not pulled off showed plainly that the management had undertaken too much. It seems that the management should have found some larger place in which to have held the meet. They could also have had more than one event going on at a time. All things considered, the boys did very well and proved that we have some very fast indoor men.
In the first event, the suap-under, Sawteille proved himself the best man with Emery a close second. Sawteille cleared the bar at 10 inches above the horizontal bar which was placed at 5 feet 11 incher. He broke all previous records by over 2 inches.
Event No. 2, was the pole vault. Cates and Beaman tied for the first place, with the pole $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches above last year's record which was 6 feet $3\frac{1}{2}$ inches.
Cates won event 3, the broad jump, in nice shape, breaking last year's record of 10 feet 4 inches by an inch. Thus gave him the record.
In the high kick, the 4th event, Cramer proved himself a wonder. He placed the leather two inches higher than it has ever been before, by kicking it at 7 feet 5 inches Herman was second.
Brunton won the hitch kick at 7 feet 11 inches. Gray was second. The record is 8 feet inches.
Owens won the running high jump at 5 feet; Cates was second at 4 feet 10 inches.
The next event was the tumbling, and it proved to be the most interesting event of the evening. The men who comprised the team did remarkably well, they were swift on their feet and went through their program with lots of snap and ginger. Emery, their captain, handled himself extremely well for an amateur. Beaman was at first inclined to have a case of genuine stage fright, but soon recovered himself.
In the pole vault De Lano won wonlly over all the other contestants; Sawtelle sprained his ankle in this event. De Lano's high mark was 8 feet, 6 inches.
In the feather weight wrestling match Gray won. Cates won in the light weight class. Gray then consented to a try a bout with Cates, but he proved too light for him. Simpson easily won his match in the heavy weight class.
Avery and Burues fenced a couple of fast rounds and both declared their honor satisfied.
The tug of war between the laws and engineers was not pulled off.
A number of other interesting events were cancelled on account of the lateness of the hour.
Pudd'n Head Wilson as presented twice last week by the K. U. Dramatic club under the direction of Miss Georgia Brown was a decided success. Full houses greeted the performers and the audiences were well pleased with the play throughout. Several of these home talent plays have been presented under the direction of Miss Brown and they have become very popular but Pudd'n Head Wilson eclipsed them all. The whole cast was exceptionally strong for a home talent play but Will Walker as Pudd'n Head, Miss Eva Brown as Roxy and Miss Mabel Rice as Rowy deserve especial mention.

Within College Walls.
Within College Walls.
After college, what? is the thought which is very often uppermost in the mind of the young man or the young woman still within college walls. The majority of college students to some extent live in the future tense. Many young men and women enter college with a definite purpose and that purpose is to fit themselves far a life work. They look upon the years of college life as a preparation, a period of training, a time set apart for such self development and intellectual attainment as will prepare them to enter life equipped as men and women to take their places in the ranks of humanity and face the demands and duties of life. It is true that college life is a vestibule. As we step into it, we leave behind us our childhood; we pause for only a few short years and then step out into a larger life, into manhood and womanhood. The time spent within college walls is the transition period of life. It is the seed time in thought and activity, and yet should it be only that? Would it not be well for us as college students to occupy ourselves with the present tense somewhat well not alone upon the "after-whiles" but to ask of ourselves this question, "In college, what?" Oh, that our college students might grasp the significance of the present moment of college life. The word opportunity is written in large and golden letters over the entrance of every moment into which you pass so rapidly. A moment is short in duration but gigantic in influence, Emerson says, "One of the illusions is that the present hour is not the critical decisive hour. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. Write it on your heart that the present moment is the moment of opportunity which alone is yours," Make use of time if thou lowest eternity. Know that yesterday cannot be recalled, tomorrow cannot be assured, today is only thine, which if thou procrastinate, thou losest; which lost, is lost forever. This present moment you are making character; the thought of your heart, whether good or evil, is leaving its impress upon your life; the act you are performing this moment is making you either better or worse. But not only should we make use of the passing moments for ourselves, but each brings with it the opportunity for helping others. Oh, that we might "redeem the time;" that we might "buy up these opportunities!" As I look into the faces of Christian students, the one thought uppermost in my mind is that of the God given opportunity which is theirs for helping God to shape and mound lives. The Christian student can in very deed and very truth "be a laborer together with God." He cannot help God to put upon the landscape of nature a cloud or a sunset, but he can be the brush which the Master Artist uses in putting immortal tints of beauty upon a human soul. God's masterpiece is the soul and He can use the Christian student to mould and shape the souls of who come within the touch of the Christ that life.
Oh, Christian students, while looking beyond to the after college life, do not underestimate the value of the present moment. Consider each moment spent within college walls as an opportunity come from God to touch some life and mould it more and more into the perfect image of the perfect pattern.—Pennsylvania Chronicle.
Now is the time for boating. Take advantage of the unusual opportunities open to K. U students.

KANSAS
DID NOT DO MUCH TO THE TIGERS
IT WAS $ONL 10 TOJ12 AND
WAS ANYBODY'S GAME
UNTIL THE SEVENTH
INNING!
THE FEATURES OF THE
Game Were the Rank Plays by Both
Teams, the Spasmidic Hitting
and the Occasional Grand-
stand Plays.
Last Saturday's game was a fair exhibition of base ball, on the whole. Kansas showed Missouri just as was expected by the Kansas fans but did not show her enough. Kansas' supporters expected to see the home team show the Tigers up hands down, just as Kansas always does in footfall and debate and things, but the Kansas fans were just a little disappointed. They were not disappointed because Kansas does not have the men to play the game, but because the men do not play the game as fast as they can.
Tucker, Moore and Poorman are all playing good fast ball, but the others can improve without doing themselves or the town any particular injury. The outfield needed fly paper or something else in their hands; the infield needed practice in picking up grounders and getting them over to first. It was nothing out of the ordinary to see a big nice fly drop singly into a fielders mit then tumble hardly out and roll down the field; More than one Tiger bit a ground ball to third base and ran it out to first; Kansas had an cfl day and so did the nine from Miss souri; Their work was perhaps a little worse than that of the home nine. The home nine played well the first of the season but has had several off days since.
The game was somewhat spasmodic, Kansas scored four in the first innning, while the Tigers had been retired with an onion; Kansas scored another quarter in the fifth, while the figs big scoring was in the fourth; It was at 3:10 that the nine surley Tigers took the bench, and Jefries, Gavin and Hawkins went out in one, two, three order. In the second inning the visitors succeeded in sending Rohn around the circuit for their first score. In the third Garvin and Cooper scored, and in the fourth the fireworks started. Three well bunched hits, a walk and trio of errors netted the Tigers four runs and put them one score in the lead. It was at this stage of the game that the grand stand bowled and the bleachers roared, trying to induce the Varstity to take a base. In the fifth the visitors failed to reach the home plate and in the sixth and seventh the Tigers made three more runs, making them a total of ten.
The home team started out at a very rapid pace. Housh, Poorman, Parent and Moore hit and with the aid of Morgan and Curry the first four batters crossed the home plate before the side was retired. The home team scored one in the third and one in the fourth. In the fifth the Tigers had a little spell of the rattles and the 'Varsity added four marks to its list, thus relieving the spectators a great deal. Two more scores followed.
The following was the line-up in batting order:

W. A. White: If Kansas loses the services of Arthur Graves Canfield, at the State University, a rite scholar—and scholars are rare, and a gentleman,—and gentlemen are much rarer, will leave the state. Kansas cannot afford to be parsimonious with the state educational institutions. Men like Canfield command high salaries because they are worth the money they receive. Michigan should not be permitted to take anyone from Kansas.
Regent Scott: "Three years ago the popist legislature reduced the salary
as they had been fixed by the regents twenty per cent. Last year the appropriation was made in a lump sum and the regents restored the salaries as nearly as that sum allowed to the old figure. The regents believe the University of Kansas is entitled to just as good men as the University of Michigan or any other American University, and they would pay the salaries necessary to secure and hold these men if they had the money. But the truth is that the regents of the University are expected to do with $120,000 what the trustee of other institutions are given twice that sum to do. That being true it is no wonder that our own University is to a large degree a training school for the eastern colleges, a place where young men of talent and ambition come to get experience to fit them to do the work that commands good salaries."
SNOW LITERARY SOCIETY.
The last meeting of the Snow Society was perhaps the most interesting we have yet had. There was an intensely interesting program rendered by the Society, but the most entertaining part was the talk given by Prof Jones.
His subject, "2,600 miles on the Pacific" gave promise of an interesting talk and those present were not disappointed. Prof. Jones had his audience entirely within his control and kept them in close attention during the whole of his talk.
Last summer Prof. Jones went from San Francisco to Hawaii on a sailing vessel, experiencing sea-sickness and the other ills that amateur sailors are heir to and it was a description of this voyage which he so entertainingly gave the society.
