TODAY THE 'VARISITY AND HAS-
KELL BEGIN THE BASS BALL
SEASON ON M'COOK
FIELD.
THE BUSY VARSITY NINE
Is Working Hard Now. Haskell Today Ottawa and Baker Monday
The first game of base ball of the season is being played on McCook field today between the 'Varsity and Haskell nines. The teams are lined up as follows: 'Varsity; Moore, catcher; Hall, pitcher; Parent, first; House, second; Poorman, short stop; Owens, third; Tucker and Reid, left field; Barnett, center; Malbey, right field. The Indians will line up in the following manner: catcher, Archequette, Felix; pitcher, Augusta, Giuiel; first base, Fallis; second base, Payer; third base, Gravie; shortstop, Palmer; left field, Pageon; center field, Decora; right field, Jackson.
The Indians have been working hard the past month and are in good form. They are working harder than usual as they expect to play exhibition games during July and August.
The 'Varsity nine is quite busy now. Coach Yost was down twice the past week on Tuesday and on Thursday. He works the boys for three hours per day, and is well pleased with the result. The team promises to be particularly strong in stick work, as this is one of the things that Gear is working on in particular. The in-field will play a stronger game than the '99 team and the outfield will be as good if not bett er. The battery is an improvement over last year, and the nine as a whole will play a faster game than any that the 'varsity has had for several years.
The games at Ottawa and Baker will be strong ones, as both teams have strengthened their nines materially since last year. The Otiawne nine will perhaps give the *varsity* a good rub, as the Baptists have been working faithfully, and have some splendid material.
Y. W. C. A. NOTES.
The Y. W, meeting was held last week on Tuesday evening instead of Wednesday as usual, on account of the dismissal of school on Wednesday, for the vacation. Rev Fenn led the meeting and he talked helfully about "Selfsacrifice." Miss Walton sang a very beautiful solo.
Rev. Fenn, formerly of Leavenworth, who was here for several days just before the vacation began, gave the young women of the association some very helpful suggestions. He met several of the committees and talked over with them their work.
Next Wednesday's meeting will be held at the usual hour, 5 to 6, in the chapel. Mrs. | Lane, a returned missionary in China, will talk of the mission field there. This week's meeting was led by Perry O. Hansen, the state secretary of the Y. M. C. A. His subject was"Serving God."
The-Philanthropic committee met last Wednesday evening at Miss Lower's. They have planned a new line of work which will soon be taken up. This will be the establishment of a class or club among colored girls of the town for the object of self culture. The work of the industrial school is carried on steadily and with success.
The girls will have their second annual "Easter Greeting" next Saturday afternoon. It will be given at Prof. Blackmar's for the members of the association and the ladies of the faculty.
The Bible classes meet as usual this week, Miss Henderson on Thursday after afternoon in the Woman's League room, and Miss Barth on Sunday afternoon.

Kansas University people are urged to attend the lecture of Mr. Rockett at the Opera House next Tuesday evening.
Gen. Funston, Lt. Col. Little and all the members of Company H, zoth Kansas, are witnessed in the genuineness of his battle views. The following extract from the Iola Register, Regent Scott's paper, ought to be a sufficient guarantee of the merit of the lecture from an educational standpoint:
Iola. Kan. Register, Dec. 2,1899.
the Opera house was packed to the doors last night by people who were anxious to follow the pictured career of the Twentieth Kansas through the Manila campaign, and to say that none were disappointed is not stretching the truth a particle. Mr. Rockett was himself on the firing line with the boys having accompanied them from Frisco and he was wounded three times while in pursuit of the pictures which the audience enjoyed last night in peaceful safety. Mr. Rockett explained each picture and his comments were not the least interesting part of the entertainment. As an entertainmenti Mr. Rockett's pictured story of the Philippines is worth many times the price of admission, and the Register urges all who were unable to be present last night to attend tonight. The pictures are perfect, the instrument which projects them on the screen is the best made, and the insight which the talk and the pictures give one of our new possessions in the far east is esteemed an educational treat. Mr. Rockett deserves in every way the patronage of the public, and Iola considers herself exceedingly fortunate indeed to have had the privilege of hearing his talk.
The purpose for which this lecture is given is to start a fund to erect a monument to the memory of the boys of Co. H., who did not return. As the University's loss was heavy, so let its appreciation of the service rendered be great.-Adna G. Clarke.
Don Silvers, as he is popularly known, has been seriously ill at the Beta house since Saturday. Dr W M McClintock was called from Topeka Sunday to perform an operation for appendicitis. Lon has been getting along as well as could be expected. His parents have come from Miltonvale to be in attendance.
Prof, F. O. Marvin was elected councilman from the 2nd ward in Tuesday's election. Wilder Metcalf and Prof. W. H-Carruth were elected members of the board of education.
Maurice Clippinger went to Centralia.

Prof. Olin has made a tour of the state visiting the high schools to investigate the work being done in preparing students for the University. He reported to the chancellor that the high schools almost without exception do not teach English proper even though they are on the list of accredited high schools. Many teach English Literature, History of English Literature, Grammar, Classics, or something suggestive of English, but very few have a course in genuine English. As a result of the report a statement has been sent out from the Chancellor's office to the superintendents of the high schools telling them to improve their course in English or they will be dropped from the accredited list.
