K.U. TRACK TEAM.

PRESENT.
WILL SOON BEGIN OUTDOOR WORK.
It is Preparing for Interstate Meets with Nebraska, Missouri, and South Dakota.
Manager Gray of the Kansas University track team has made arrangements for a meet with the Nebraska team to be held at Lawrence May 26. Last year the Kansas Nebraska team was held at Lincoln and the Nebraskans were easy victors but this year the K. U. team has gone into training early which it did not do last year, and will be able to put up a better contest. Besides there is a great deal more interest being taken in track work this year and there is a good deal more material from which to pick a team.
which to pick them out. The track men started their outdoor work a few weeks ago, but the bad weather has compelled them to train; indoors most of the time. They had held a few preliminary cross-country runs under the direction of Capt. Cates, but these had to be given up until good weather begins again.
again.
The runners are practicing at starting in the gymnasium and are getting along, all right. Capt Cates is anxious to get his men at work out doors again, because it is essential to begin early to get them in form by the time of the spring meets.
form by the use of a meeting. A meet has been arranged with Missouri State University, to be held at Columbia, but the date has not yet been decided upon. A proposition has been made by South Dakota to meet the Jayhawkers at Sioux City, and Manager Gray thinks the offer will be accepted. He was figuring on having a state meet at Lawrence for all the Kansas colleges, but if the meets with South Dakota and Missouri can be satisfactorily arranged, the state meet will probably be abandoned. He has, however, spoken to the several of the Kansas colleges about such a meet, and if they are anxious for one it may be held at Lawrence after all.—Ex.
K. S. U. GIRLS GET MARRIED.
When the Rev E W Donald in a recent address at Andover Academy, Mass., took occasion to criticize the higher education, which may overwhelm him. Dr Donald was fearful that educated women would not marry and be came armed with statistics in an attempt to prove that when a young woman bird gone through the average college course she was unwilling to assume the petty annoying obligations which housewifery and maternity bring. The statistics upon which all this was based were supplied by investigation into the lives of the young women who had taken B. S, degrees at Bryn Mawr college Pennsylvania.
In Kansas State University Fifty Per Cent of the Woven Graduates H.ve Married.
There were only 234 of these women young and old who had gone out from this institution for their high and exclusive education and of that number only thirty two up to and including the class of 1894 had married. In all only 14 per cent of the graduates had been willing to risk a man in the house,
he are not considerable in the interest.
The chancellor of the State University at once began to dig up catalogues and take account of the women who had gone forth with degrees. He wrote to all those who had not been properly reported and gleefully chuckled as the evidence accumulated. There had been 125 women graduates of the State University up to and including 1894. The returns, when all were in, showed that sixty-three of them, a little more than 50 per cent had married.
a man in the house
Chancellor Snow, of the Kansas State University in common with any number of other educators, read the speech and the comments on it. He did some commenting himself, but before he talked without reserve he did considerable investigation.
ference in a Kansas coeducational institution and a Pennsylvania exclusive college for women will force the institution of numerous comparisons. Do the educated young women of Kansas take more kindly to matrimony, or do more of them marry because the supply of available young men is larger than it is in the east? Or is there an advantage from the matrimonial standpoint, in co-educational institutions?—Mail and Breeze.

FOSSIL HUNTING IN WYOMING.
It Was a Kansen Who Worked the Wyoming Deposit First.
In "Science" for February 9. Elmer S Riggs, A.B., A.M., 96, now of the Field Columbian Museum of Chicago, has an article dated January 23, correcting some accuracies which appeared in the article on "Fossil Hunting in Wyoming," in the January Cosmopolitan.
In the course of the article, Mr. Rugg says: "The valuable deposit worked out by the Field Columbian Museum party had not previously been passed over by 'a Kansas University professor,' as stated by the author of the Cosmopolitan article. On the contrary, the quarry had been quoted and worked for some time by the Kansas University men. After they had taken out a large quantity of unusually good material and returned home, the Field Museum party made a new stripping beside the old and obtained from it large additions to its summer's collection." The statement in question in the Cosmopolitan is the following: "As the work progressed during the day, it became apparent that another prospector a Kansas University professor, had spent some hours on the same spot a month earlier, but had passed on without recognizing the fertility of the exposure." Howard W. Bell is the author of the article.
Pennsy's Track Team Will Go to England
Pennsylvania University track team will leave for England June 20 on the steamship New York. Arriving in the land of John Bull, the Quakers will put in at least two weeks training to accustom themselves to the British climate, and July 7 will compete in the English championships in London. There they will have a chance to meet the men of Oxford and Cambridge, who, a year ago, defeated the team from Yale and Harvard.
After the English games the team will be taken to the vicinity of Paris, where they will have a week's preparation for the Olympian games, which will be the event of the year.
Perl Decker's Oratory.
The program of Olympian games at the Paris exposition is as follows: Sports begin on Map 27 and last until October 28. They include track and field games, hockey, cricket, tennis, croquet, bowling, base ball, lacrosse and golf. American colleges will enter in the 110 meters hurdle, 100 meters dash, 400 meter and other long distance runs and steeplechases, high and broad jump, pole vault, putting shot and throwing discus. The world championship events will occur July 15, 17, 19 and 22. The prizes will be meda's ranging in value from 50 francs to 400 francs. A special event is the international relay race of 5,000 meters, in which teams of five men will take part. All American teams are entered for this event.
Attorney Perl Decker's oratory in the police court night before last has borne fruit. While Ben Moran, the man he defended against the charge of intoxication, undertaking to prove that he never touched a drop of liquor, was fined by Judge Osborne after the hearing, the case was reinstated and reconsidered. The result was that the prisoner was released and the money he had paid for his fine was returned to him.
The flight of oratory was a little slow in getting in its work, but in the final round-up it was all there, and had full weight with the court. Mr. Decker is to be congratulated upon being able to get a police court to reconsider its verdict; the case is a rare one and should go down into history as such. Joplin Globe.
Be Wes a Football Flaver,
HE WERE FOOTBALL.
The Missouri Tigers went to Fulton last fall in a wagonette to play foot ball. The wagonette was tipped over and one of the Tigers had his nose broken. He sued the liveryman for $500 and lost. The attorney for the defendants argued that "so small an accident as a broken nose amounted to nothing to a football player."

Funk of the Tigers Throws Five Goals and Is the Star Of the Game.
The Jayhawkers' basket ball team was badly defeated by tld Y M C A Tigers of Kansas City last week, Friday, at Kansas City. The atmosphere of the Missouri river town seemed to have a peculiar effect upon the youths from Kansas and they did not put up their usual snappy game. Yahn played his usual strong game at back, while Vandruff carried off the honors at goal throwing.
the honors at goal throwing.
The Tigers scored the first goal, but the Jayhawkers threw two in rapid succession a few moments later, when it was nip and tuck for a while before Funk tied the score with another basket. The Kansans got in front twice more before the half was over, but each time their opponents equalled things up and the first part of the game finally ended with the score 8 to 8. Apparently the Lawrence team shot its bolt at the start, for in the second half they did not succeed in making a point, while the Tigers rolled up ten, all on goals from the field.
from the held. The Kansas City champions played all around their 'varsity rivals, both individually and collectively. This is not saying anything derogatory to the Kansas team work, for it was very good, but the Tigers was better. They kept the University boys on the jump all the time, and in the second half simply plyaed them off their feet.
Funk with his record of five goals from the field probably deserves the honor of being called the star of the game. He certainly proved a tower of strength to his team and his accurate throwing more than any thing else caused the Kansans' defeat. Ricksecker the K.C. center threw the two most sensational baskets of the evening, one from the center and the other out of a scrimmage on the side line.
Vandruff probably did the best work for Kansas as far as scoring it. He scored twice both times on quick passes that the eye could hardly follow. F. Owen also put up a fast game but his one basket was an easy one that did not show any particular skill. The scores:
