A RECORD BREAKER.

THE ANNUAL FIELD MEET WAS SUG
CESSFUL-BEAMAN RAISED THE
HAMMER AND THE SHOT
RECORDS—THE FRESH-
MEN WON CLASS
RELAY RACE.
MOULTON'S 100 YARD DASH.
Was the Feature of the Meet He Smashed BIs 10, 1-5 to 9 3-4 Lowering the World's Amateur Record of 9 4-5.
The annual field meet Thursday was highly successful from the point of view of records made but from the point of view of attendance and enthusiasm it was a failure. This was owing partly to the threatening weather and partly to the fact that the professors "kept school" in the afternoon.
Beaman's shot and hammer records and the work of the Kansas City and Leavenworth high schools attracted a great deal of attention and elicited much favorable comment. The 220 yard dash won by Sawtell was a good event. The Freshman class won a good number of events. The relay race was a big event and fell easily to the Freshman. The throwing of the discus is a new event for K. U., this being its first introduction. Beaman established the record of 89 feet and 2 inches. The event of course that brought down the crowd was Moulton's splendid 100 yard dash which lowers all former amateur records.
The 16 pound shot put entered by Beaman, Blockburger and Whitney went to Beaman with a record of 39 feet 8 inches over Moss's record of 37-6 Blockburger was a close second.
The running high jump entered by Cates, Sawtell and Irwin, was won by Cates who made 18 feet, 9 inches, against Sanderson's record of 20%; Sawtell was second with 17 feet, 9 inches.
Shaw of the Kansas City high school, threw the base ball 312 feet, 4 inches. The University record was by Moore who threw 305 feet against Mattison's record of 367 feet, 10 inches.
Jimmy Alexander made his old record, 5 feet, 7 inches, in the running high jump. Toby followed with 5 feet, 6 inches. Moulton and Holloway also jumped well.
The record for the bicycle mile was also lowered, the former record which has not been published is just a little less than five minutes. Worley rode it in 2.59⁴, Thompson in 3.301-5. The track is very poor and too small for time.
Beaman put the 10 pound hammer 111 feet, 5 inches, which is a record breaker, Avery was next with 105 feet.
Mat Smith took the 440 yard dash in 56% over Ruth and the Kansas City men Ellis and Morrison. Ellis was second with 57%.
Sawtell took the 880 yards run over Owens and Dismes, time 2:222 Alexander and Cates took entered the 220 hurdle; Cates fell at the finish giving Alexander the race time 29 2-5, against Cates' record of 27.
Holliday won the pole. vault over Chappel, Sanborn and Cook at 8 feet against Shellenberger 9-9.
The class relay race was a good event and was hotly contested by the Juniors,, Sophomores and Freshmen. The Freshmen team composed of Sawell, Van Petten, Worley, McKowen, Hood, Clarke, Kilburn and Council won, time 3:37. Johnston, H. Owens, T. Owens, Hall, Whitney, Poorman, Ruth and Edson ran for the Sophomores. For the Juniors Smith, Gray, Russell, Dennis, Maxwell, Duer, Sutton,
The meet was closed by the mile run entered by Gavin, Diesem, Holiday, Sanborn. Chappell and Cook the event went to Gavin time 5:18. Diesem was second with 5:25.
About 700 art collectors, picture lovers, critics and society people turned out Tuesday and Wednesday of last week to enjoy an exhibition of the works of four well-known St. Louis artists, namely, Charles Heberer, Gustav Waldeck, Frederick Stoddard and William A. Griffith. The exhibition took place in the Camera Club's rooms at the Y. M. C. A. building where all four men have their studios.
Senior Play
Fine Art Exhibition.
On May 10th occurs the one dramatic event of the year, the Senior play, "Innocence Abroad." Much thought and time has been expended in the preparation of this play. The plot is founded on ga very popular French drama. It promises to be full of lcolor and of interest to everyone. The cast is fortunate this year in having several members of the K. U. Dramatic Club whose splended work has been well received for the past two years.
The portraitals shown seemed to attract most attention, although there were some much finer bits, in the way of landscapes and life-studies shown.
One portait shows an exceedingly pretty girl in a rich begonia-pink gown, made low and square in the neck and finished with long sleeves. Her hair is arranged in a soft, waving pempadour about a lovely cval face, tinted like a wild rose and lightened by a bair of dreamy and sad eyes. One arm is thrown carelessly across the corner of a small table, the hand, with its long, tapering fingers, resting prettily on the edge. The background in a flat, grayish-green wall, covered with an armorial design combining, I am told, the Rumsey crest and coat of arms—sketched from life also, I dare say.
Mr. Griffith's favorite bit of his own work is a landscape combining a narrow stretch of brilliant blue sky and a long range of low, yellow hills patched with coarse grass in varying shades of green. The sketch is called "Out in Kansas," and it is full of a breeziness and sunniness that makes one sign for the liberty of life on the plains. A little six by eight landscape made on the banks of the Oise, during Mr. Griffith's last tour of France, is, in my eyes, one of the most pleasing specimens of his art. -St Louis Post Dispatch.
Pl Beta Phi Scholarship.
Primarily the scholarship is for the benefit of Ft Beta Phis, but in the event that no member of the Fraternity wishes to take advantage of it, it is open to any University girl.
The Fi Beta Phi alumnus of the Law-
rence chapter have announced the estab-
lishment of a $20colan scholarship in Kansas
University.
Pi Beta Phi is to congratulate upon initiating a work of this kind. The scholarship will help the University, and at the same time the fraternity will be aided. It is admitted that what every fraternity most needs is alumni enthusiasm and thus Pi Beta Phi will surely gain in large measure. For with this loan fund to administer the alumnae must of necessity keep in close touch with the active chapter.
The scholarship is to be known as the Lucinda Smith Buchan memorial scholarship. Pi Beta Phi has done a beautiful and appropriate thing in naming its scholarship for Mrs. Buchan. She was an honor to her fraternity and to her college and it is a fitting thing that her name should always be known and revered in Kansas State University.
Mr. John Merrill of the Music school gave his graduating recital Thursday evening at University hall. The recital was well attended by the students and people from the city. Palms and flowers were used in decorating the stage and produced a beautiful effect.
Mr. Merrill's Graduation Recital.
Mr. Merrill was assisted by Miss Cole, soprano Carl Preyer and a double quartette. The singing by Miss Cole captured the audience; her voice was clear, distinct and indicated a thorough musical education. Mr. Merrill is one of the few gentlemen who have graduated from the department of music and his instructors should feel proud of the success he has attained.
Most of the pieces rendered by Mr. Merrill were his own compositions. They were all of a very high order and showed that the compositor has rare musical ability.

MISSOURI WINS THE SECOND GAME
FROM KANSAS CHIEFLEY TERO'
THE RANK DECISIONS
MADE BY THE
UMPIRE.
LAWS DEFEAT THE PHARMICS.
The Senior Arts and the Junior Laws Are Not Abie to Get Together.— Trouble May Be Arbi- trated.
The game with Missouri at Columbia on Monday was played on the poorest field, the team has played on this year.
First base was in about six inches of water with second and home the same. The outfield was covered with weeds a foot high and the ground very muddy.
As in the first game, Kansas made more hits than Missouri and had the poorest luck imaginable.
The umpire made some of the worst decisions that could possibly have been made and they all came at times when they meant runs. One of them cost the K. U. team three runs. He wouldn't listen to argument, and while he would give no reasons for his decisions, would not allow us to show him where he was wrong.
Besides this, our errors, were all made at critical times while those of Missouri, didnt amount to anything.
Curttright was quite easy and the Kansas team made eleven hits off him but lost the chance to score on account of the poor condition of the grounds.
Hall, as usual, pitched a good game and allowed the Missourians only seven hits. Behind the bat, Moore, put up his
Vol. VII. No. 33.
Behind the bat, Moore, put up his usual fine game.
Griggs led the team in hitting with three hits while Parent and Carroll each made two apiece.
Garvin, Missouri's catcher, did the best playing for them, both at the bat and in the field.
Although the game was lost, the team was in excellent spirits, on account of the fine treatment accorded them, excepting of course, the very poor work of the umpire. The score was or follows:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Missouri...2 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0
Kansas...1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0
Double plays: Kansas—Housh to Carroll, Barnett to Housh. Missouri—Moseman to Hawkins to Cooper, Moseman to Jones.
Hits: Kansas, 2; Missouri 8.
Errors: Kansas, 7; Missouri 5.
Batteries: Kansas—Hall and Moore.

JUNIOR LAWS WIN FROM PHARMICS.
Pharmics Can Mix Pills but Not Play Ball.
The Pharmics wishing to amuse the visiting members of the State Pharmaceutical association Tuesday, tried to solve a few legal problems propounded to them by the Junior Laws. As to amusing their visitors they succeeded, but not in the way they had hoped to do.
The Pharmics during the first half of the game were chalked up with numerous errors, but settled down to a steaudier gait in the latter half. They were unable to solve Vandol's curves and not a fly went to the outfield, only a few grounders slipping passed the infield.
On the other hand the Laws batted both Holiday and Tannehill at will. Holiday the first pitcher up for Pharmics was wild, and was replaced by Tannehill who was steadier.
Owens made half of the runs for the Pharmics by stealing bases. Lenau made a circuit of the bags by sending a slow grounder over second base, through center field and under the fence. Moor and Riling carried off the honor for number of runs scored. Moore, out of six times at bat, scored five runs, and
Riling six times up scored four runs and was left on base once. The largest crowd that has attended the class games was out and much enthusiasm was manifested when the Pharmics would hit the ball,

For two hours the Arts and Laws wrangled over two of the Junior Law players, the Senior Arts claiming that they were registered specials, and the Laws maintaining that they were conditioned Juniors. Notwithstanding that Judge Greene explained the difference between a special and a conditioned student, and showed that the two players in question were unconditioned Juniors, the Seniors refused to play the game, and withdrew from the field.

NOTICE OUR ATLAS OFFER.
Perry O. Hanson Accepts the Offer of the Advisory Board.
A GENERAL SECRETARY
At a meeting of the advisory board of the Y. M. C. A. last week the matter of general secretary was taken up and thoroughly discussed. After a canvass of students and members of the faculty it was apparent that there would be no difficulty in raising the required salary. Accordingly an offer was made to Mr. Perry O.Hanson of the University of Minnesota. A reply was received from Mr. Hanson this week accepting the position. Mr. Hanson has been president of the Y. M. C. A. of the University of Minnesota the past two years and comes here well qualified for the work.
As a recommendation of Mr. Hanson's abilities we need only refer to the fact that President Canfield of Ohio State University had decided upon him for the Ohio work but the financial problem prevented the completion of the arrangement.
The new secretary will be here to assume his duties, August 15. All the details of the work for next year will be completed before the opening of school, September 6)
Dan Godfrey's Brittish Band.
Dan Godfrey, whose band comes to Lawrence on June 5, leads with ease and nice perception of the musical values; the band plays with accuracy no less grateful to the sensitive ear. It plays without the mechanism apparent, notwithstanding the instrument, cornet, and bassoon tickle the ear in solo. Three artists from the guards, modest appearing, confident nevertheless, win applause. The British Guards band means selected musicians from the life guards, the royal horse guards, the Scots' Guards, all qualified and degree masters. Dan Godfrey cherishes kindly feeling for America, and there was more than mere sentiment in his arrangement of the "England and America" medley, musically picturing a nautical fight from Portsmouth harbor to rule "Britannia."
Students returning home, who are in need of a Trunk or Telescope, should see Weaver's stock before making a selection. The line is strong, so are the Trunks. Prices low, from $1.50 to $18.00 for Trunks or Telescopes.
Jim Kelsey, who is now playing ball with the Minnesota team, and who was catcher on the best base ball team K. U. ever bad, was on the hill Thursday.
