The base ball game at Ottawa was a very interesting one, considering the fact that Baker had beaten Ottawa, and K. U. had beaten Baker so decisively.
The Ottawa team played the best game it has this season, Gill, the Ottawa pitcher, did real nice work and held our batters down well, only nine hits being made off him, of which Housh and Lucas each made three. Carroll's two, bagger in the ninth inning with three men on bases was the feature of the game.
Foeman had a busy day at short an accepted all of his many chances without an error. The rest of the team played very fast ball and with the exception of one wild throw it was an errorless game.
The Ottawa team could not hit Hall at all and could come to where near scoring until the eight inning when they happened to slip in a run by a little slow work on the part of K. U.
The fielding of Ottawa was erratic, Van Amburg supported Gill well and the outfield did very creditable work. The game was umpied by Mr. Thomas of Baker, who gave general satisfaction to both

JUNIOR-SENIOR GAME
Contrary to the general expectation, the Seniors easily took the fourth game of the inter class series from the Juniors Monday by a score of 15 to 1, and began their victorious march. The game stopped just in time to free the Seniors from the charge of being apostles of Bryan.
About three quarters of an hour was consumed in wrangling as to whether Dennis should be allowed to play with the Juniors. The game finally commenced without him.
But the Juniors were disheartened at the loss of Dennis who was their only-pitcher and consequently put up a poor game of ball.
The Seniors hated the ball at will and with their safe hits and the numerous errors on the part of the Juniors they had no trouble in crossing the plate fifteen times.
The Juniors and their sympathizers were in the majority among the rooters and some times used forcible means to dis courage the most persistent of their opponents.
The positions were filled as follows:

ed over the Juniors in the class game of base ball and were somewhat elated. However they were not very hopeful of the Sophomore game. Some of the Seniors even told their friends that they the Sophomores, expected to trample their palm of viory, in the dust.
Tuesday afternoon the seniors triumph
The game was exceedingly close and exciting until the seventh, when the Seniors took a strong lead that the Sophomores could not overcome. The work of Barnett and Thatcher, the Sophomore battery, was good but the real feature of the Sophomore playing was the fielding of Heincke and Frebert.
The Seniors as on the former day played in great luck, they were really trotting in too fast company but won out by timely hitting. Diesem's whip was in good shape as it puzzled the Sophomores just a little to find him. Alexander caught a good game and Pratt at short did good work. The line up was as follows:

Y. M. C. A. CONSTITUTION CHANGED.
Advisory Board of Professors. Business Men and Students Appointed.
At the close of the meeting Sunday some very important business was transacted- At the suggestion of the cabinet the Association made the following constitutional amendments:
Section 1. There shall be an advisory committee of the Association consisting of nine members, viz., President of the Association, two student members of the Association and six members of the Faculty Alumni or Christian men interested in the work. Only members of evangelical churches shall be members of this committee.
Section 2. The president, by virtue of his office shall be a member of the advisory board. The two student members shall be nominated by the nominating committee and elected to serve one year, at the annual election of the association. The members from the faculty, etc., shall be nominated by the advisory board and elected at the annual meeting of the association to serve three years or until their successors shall have entered upon the discharge of their duties. This committee shall choose its own Chairman and Secretary.
Section 3. The Advisory Committee shall appoint General Secretary, subject to the approval of the association. They shall determine the amount of his salary and the proportion of his time that he shall devote to the work of the association. They shall secure funds necessary for his salary. They shall have general supervision of the work of the general secretary. They shall meet at least once each year with the cabinet of the association and shall sustain an advisory relationship to the association.
Section 4. The committee shall meet within two weeks after the annual election, for organization and the transaction of business and at such other times as the chairman may determine.
All the eastern associations and the larger college associations of the west have found advisory boards necessary to the widest and best work. It will no doubt be of great advantage to unite our faculty, student body, and outside friends in some such representative body. And great impetus and smoothness will be added by the keeping in touch of the three classes who are deeply interested in the welfare and influence of our institution. Following this the appointments to the advisory board, made by the cabinet, were unanimously ratified by the association. As appointed Y. M. C. A. advisory board is as follows:
Professors:
Chancellor F. H. Snow,
Professor Wilcox,
Dean Sayre,
Dr. Naismith.
Business men:
Willis K. Folkes,
Capt. John Haskell.
Students:
H. H. Tangeman,
Winfield Witherington,
Lacey Simpson.

PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY NOTES.
At the Chemical seminary Thursday, Prof. Franklin gave a review of Prof. Fisher's Syntheses of Sugars. That is, some of the sugars that are found in fruit, such as grapes, also that found in honey. It was of interest to note the different steps that were taken in building up the sugars from these elements, especially interesting that he took several that are not found in nature.
Work has actually begun on the excavating of the new Chemistry building. Thirteen teams and a large number of men are working at it. There is from 3 to 5 feet of dirt and 4 to 5 feet of rock to be removed by the 22nd of June, so that the foundation can be commenced by the rst of July.
One of the most serious accidents that have occurred in the chemical laboratories was that Tuesday, when a flask of boiling light oil (benzine, gasoline, etc.) exploded with which Mr. Sawick a senior pharmacy student was conducting some experiments. The oil set his clothing on fire burning his hands and arms so seriously that he has been compelled to return to his home in Tonkea.
Mr. and Mrs. Russell Whitman came up from Kansas City for the Brown-Gardner wedding.
Prof. Blake is contemplating putting in more machinery in Mr. Stimpson's shop. There is hardly a week that passes, but what some one sends in specimens of rock which are to be analyzed for some of the precious metals.
ORATORICAL CONTEST.
ANNUAL SPRING CONTEST HELD LAST NIGHT AT PRESER HALL.
Small But Appreciative Audience—W.
H. Hyatt Wins First Place.
Owing to the very stormy weather only a very small audience was present. Two of the judges were unable to come, and the decision was left to the third. Rev. Dr. Cone.
Those who believe that University oratory is declining should have been at Fraser Hall last night and listened to the excellent orations. Thirty five speakers originally entered the contest, but a preliminary Friday night reduced the number to six who spoke yesterday evening.
The first oration was on "Immigration and Naturalization" by Herbert Owens. Mr. Owens' oration was brief, interesting and to the point. His gestures, however, were not easy, and he did not display sufficient feeling.
Howard Lower spoke second on "What Shall We Do with the Philippines?" Mr. Lower's opinion is that we are wrong in conquering the islands. We are following a policy traught with danger, and we are opposing the wish of Europe for peace. The speaker believed we should deal with the Philippines as we are dealing with Cuba. Mr. Lower spoke clearly and decisively, and he had the true oratorical spirit in feeling what he said. His delivery on the other hand, was too rapid.
Edward McMath's oration was on the subject, "Is Socialism Desirable?" The speaker presented the negative side and supported his position ably. Mr. McMath was one of the best appearing speakers. He has a deep, full voice which will improve much with more practice. His delivery also was too rapid.
The subject of W. S. Hyatt's oration was "The Future of the Trust." Mr. Hyatt presented both advantages and disadvantages of combinations, weighed them carefully, and decided that trusts are dangerous to our nation. The speaker was well informed and gave his audience the opinion that he had much more of interest which he might say. His work was scholarly and delivered with feeling. His voice was clear and every word distinct.
J. R Worley chose for his subject "Demostemens." The oration was far above the average biographical attempt. Mr. Worley's voice was good but inclined somewhat to the monotonous. His gestures were timely and excellent.
Miss Root was the last orator, and her subject was "Prison Reform." Miss Root handled her subject with ease and power. She believed that ideal punishment consisted in treating prisoners as patrons, not as convicts under sentence. Miss Root's appearance was pleasing and she sustained her reputation as an executionist.
By Dr. Cone's decision Mr. Hyatt received first place and Miss Root second. The prize was fifteen dollars in gold.
Special arrangements have been made for the "Senior meeting" next week. A Senior will lead and a large attendance of the Seniors is expected.
Y. W. C. A. NOTES.
The last regular service will be held next Tuesday as there will be no meeting on the 31st on account of the holiday.
