The Outlook for 1900—More Men and More Enthusiasm Than Ever Bef Geer Will Coach the Team-The Best Schedule Kansas Ever Had-Game With the University of Chicago.
The base ball fever is just now very high. There has never been so many eager men who will try for places on the nine as there are this spring. There has never been so much enthusiasm as there is now. The Athletic association has never taken so much interest in the sport as it is taking this spring. There has never been so much interest among the students and the faculty as there is now. Base ball which has formerly been somewhat neglected has been placed on a new footing and will be played with the same vim and energy that has characterized Kansas' work in foot ball.
The out lock for baseball was never so bright as at the present time. Besides more men and more enthusiasm than formerly Manager Nichols has just arranged the best schedule that Kansas has ever had. The out of town schedule includes games with the best colleges in Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. On its trip east Kansas will play the University of Chicago in Chicago. This is the first time in the history of western baseball that a game has been secured with Chicago. This game is a boom to Kansas base ball. People in the east will find cut that Kansas has a University and that it plays base ball.
The big cut of town schedule includes the following games:
April 26, Washburn; April 27, St
M arys; April 27, afternoon, Manhattan
April 28, Nebraska, at Lincoln; April 30,
Highland Park, at Omaha; May 1, Cornell College, Mt Vernon, Ia;May 2, Dixon College; May 3, University of Chicago;
May 4, Knot College, Galesburgh, Ills;
May 5, Missouir, at Columbia. Besides the big trip the 'Varsity will play the Blues in Kansas City in May and Nebraska at Lincoln on Decoration day.
ADELPHIC LITERARY SOCIETY.

Beginning April 7 the Varsity meets the Indians, on the 17 the Blues will be here, and on the 21 Missouri, May 12 Washburn, May 22 Nebraska, June 5 is the date for the Alumni game. The exact dates for games with Ottawa, Baker, Manhattan and St. Marys are not set but the games will come for the most part in May.

The young women of the philanthropic committee gave a children's party last week, Saturday, for the boys and girls who attend the Industrial school which is under the care of the Associated Charities. The children enjoyed themselves hugely at games and story telling, and a light lunch was served them.
Saturday evening of last week the two committees of the Y M and Y W C A meet at the Y M C A house for an ensign party. T these committees are the new ones which have just been appointed at the beginning of this term, and the object of the evening was to put the members on a basis of better acquaintanceship, so that they may more easily work together. It was a very novel method of entertainment that was presented. The young men were all furnished with pennants of dark blue, needles, thimbles, and red embroidery floss. Each of the young women was appointed to teach some young man an embroidery stitch. This was a progressive game, and at each charge the young man learned a different stitch. When the evening was over a prize was presented to the one who proved the nearest "seamster," and another to the one who had mastered the greatest variety ofstitches.

FONES THAT NEBRASKA UNI-
VERSITY IS NO LONGER A
MEMBER OF WESTERN
INTER -- COLLEGIATE
FOOTBALL LEAGUE.
Nebraska is However, Open for Dates with the Kansans.
THE LEAGUE WAS UNSATISFACTORY, IS THE REASON-
President K. P. Fones of the Western Intercollegiate Football League has received a letter from Wm K Hastings, secretary of the athletic board of Nebraska University stating that that institution has withdrawn from the league. The only reas on for this action is that the league has proven unsatisfactory. This league was organized several years ago and comprised the Universities of Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas. Iowa was the first to withdraw, and since then, the three remaining members have held together. The withdrawal of Nebraska will break up the league. The letter states that Nebraska is anxious to arrange games individually with any of the colleges in the league for next season.
