THE MAY POLE STOOD.
The Freshmen Showed Commendable Class Spirit in Planting a Pole. They Fought Heroically For It. The Juniors Were Loyal to the Freshmen. It was the Pretest May-pole Scrimmage in the History of the 'Varsity.
SOPHOMORES AND LAWS OPPOSED
The Seniors Did Not Support the Sophomores and the Laws Come to Their Assistance. They Attacked Fiercely and Used Many Clever Devices to Overcome the Organized Freshman.
The Freshmen class has a little college spirit, more perhaps that any other class in school. The Freshmen had read of May-poles and had heard thrilling stories of scrimimages from their predecessors Being thus roused and having received a slight bluff from the Sophomores who were afraid to plant a pole last year they decided to display their blooded natures.
Accordingly six of the brawniest of the c class pierced the campus with a postauger eased the hole, designed the pole and prepared the details. Early Monday morning forty other Freshmen appeared and all crept stealthily upon the campus bearing a large iron pole which was at once placed in the ground and decorated with tar, axlegrease and barb wire. There were no Sophomores on the hill, only four guards who were almost half stiff with fear and wonder at the sudden appearance of the pole. All the work being done the Freshmen danced around the pole and the yell which is too long to print, issued forth from forty pairs of lusty lungs resounding and reverberating from hill to hill. The Chancellor appeared shortly and at once ordered the pole down. The wily Freshmen employed strategy and in less than half an hour had the Ceancellor's consent that the pole might stay up till chapel time.
By 7:30 students began coming up the hill. The little stiff flag at the top of the pole bearing "102" told at once that it was the Freshmen may-pole. Every man who passed was forced to salute the pole. This fun lasted until 8 o'clock almost every one saluted without compulsion. Three or four members of the faculty had had to be shown that the boys were in earnest but tipped and bowed pleasantly at the last moment. Mr. Rice, although about to be thoroughly smeared, still refused to honor the flag and was only turned loose on account of the generosity of President Renn of the Freshmen class.
The Sophomores and Laws formed at a Adams and Tennessee streets and at 8:30 marched slowly up Adams street in solid phalanx. The members seemed about equal. The Freshmen buddled near the pole, the outer guard was placed, the spectators retired to a place of safety and every body awaited the first onslaught in silence. As the attackers neared they brok into a double quick and a horse ridden by a colored boy, was forced against the Freshman line. A moment later the whole line of Sophomores, carrying a ladder, and a long wire struck the outer guard of the Freshman. There were a few crashes, a snapping of timber, a tug of war, and the ladder was broken and the wire was in possession of the Freshman. This was the best charge of the whole scrimmage. Neither side wavered, but met boldly. The assaultors were slightly abashed at their ineffective work.
Rushes without weapons were now tried, then there was a rush with a pole, all of which was shrewd, but ineffective. The invaders resorted to strategy, single men attacking, trying to draw the Freshmen from the pole. J. Franklin Baker, one of the daring Sophs., lighted an arm load of hay and dashed toward the pole. His work was repeated, but was ineffective. The Sophomores divided their forces and attacked from all sides. This was the most effective but did not accomplish the end sought. The vigor of the invaders waved a little and they again resorted to tricks. The scrimmage continued until 9 o'clock. When the flag was taken down,
The contest was close and exciting. There was little rough play, no slugging to speak of, and very few men lost their heads. Every body went to chapel just as they came from the scene of the conflict.
it fell into the hands of the Freshmen. A severe tussle followed but they still held their own.
THE LAW-PHARMIC POLE.
THE LAW-PHARMAC POLE.
At 11 o'clock when everything was over the Laws, who wished to appear game, secured some aid from the Pharmics and formed a boisterous aggregation in front of the main building. They strung some kind of colors on a telephone pole and began "joshing" the Fine Arts who sat on the steps. The most of the men had gone home and dressed up and did not care to enter another scrimmage but one by one they fell in and soon pulled down the Law. The Laws saved the most of their colors and placed them on another stronger pole. The Arts now rallied in larger numbers, but as the pole was high and very strong they did not succeed in getting the colors before time was called at 12 o'clock.

BASE BALL GAMES.
K. U Takes Two.
The University ball team won from Washburn by a score of 7 to 6 in ten innings. K. U. played a splendid uphill game. The features of the game were Hall's pitching and the sensational work of the K. U. team in the ninth when Washburn had the game all but won with three men on bases and no outs.
St Marys won by luck making every run after there were two outs. Each team got six hits but the score stood 9 to 3.
Manhattan was an easy mark K. U. out played her opponent at every point and scored at will. The game ended with the score 14 to 5 in favor of K. U.
WASHBURN GAME.
K. U. won an exciting and slightly sensational game from Washburn Thursday afternoon by a score of 7 to 6.
K. U. played a splendid up hill game and demonstrated that she never gives up luck and errors. Washburn was able to score five runs in the first two innings, but could get only one more in the next eight. K. U. got her first run in the third, tied the score in the seventh and won in the tenth by Grigs putting a long single over the first baseman and bringing in Barnett. The work of the K. U. battery was excellent from start to finish. The Washburn team got four hits off of Hall in the first three innings but after that did not find him once. Moore played fine ball and had the Washburn players afraid to try to steal second base. The work of the infield was very pretty after the men settled down to business. The most exciting feature of the game was the splendid rally of K. U. in the ninth inning with Washburn at bat. The bases were full and no outs and score a tie. The crowd went wild and it seemed impossible that Washburn could not win. But by perfect fielding and gift edge pitching K. U. retired Washburn without a score.
Score 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
K. U. 0 0 1 0 2 1 2 0 0 1
Washburn 2 3 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
Summary—Earned runs none, two base hit, Farent; wild pitch, none; passed balls, none; struck out by Hall 10, by Cambell 9; stolen bases by K. U., 8, by Washburn, 4.
ST. MARY'S GAME.
The University team lost a game to the St. Mary's College team Friday morning by a score of 9 to 3. The St. Mary's team played in great luck making every run after two men were out. K. U. got as many hits as St Mary's, each getting six. Of these Lucas got 2, Poorman 2, Housh 1, Griggs 1. But K. U. did not have the fortune to get them at opportun times. The K. U. men did not play in their regular positions because they were saving Hall for the Nebraska game. Moore pitched most of the game; Tucker going in the box the last of it, and thereafter St. Marys succeeded in making but one run.
Summary:
K. U, battery—Moore, Tucker and Parent. St. Marys—Corrigan and Tierney. Hits—K. U., 6; St. Marys, 6. Struck out by Moore, 2; by Corrigan, 3.
The University boys had a good batting eye Friday afternoon at Manhattan. The main feature of the game was the constant hitting of K. U. Every man on the team got one hit and several of them more. The pitcher on the Manhattan team played a good game, but had no support.
MANHATTAN GAME.
Parent started the slugging the first time up, and as usual the team played better ball every inning, and at the end of the ninth, the score stood 14 to 5 in favor of K. U.
Junior and Senior Laws. The first of the inter-class series of base ball was played between the Junior and Senior Laws last Tuesday on McCook

A View of the Valley of Mexico
The locomotive bissed, and sputtered, and coughed as it labored up the steep grade; and the quick sharp puffs echoed with a metallic ring from the huge masses of lava rock, hardened in great fantastic shapes, and covered in the shady places with dark green moss and fine hair-like ferns. Pine trees, rooted in hollows and crevices that held little patches of soil, sent their bracing northern fragrance through the car windows; a very pleasant change from the heavy odor of tube roses and other semi-tropical flowers that grew abundantly in the valley below.
Suppressed exclamations of awe burst from the passengers as the creaking train crawled slowly around a sharp curve. We seemed to have silde out into mid-air, and far below lay the wide expanse of the Valley of Mexico; a tiny world with lakes, rivers, and villages, the city clear and distinct living a little to one side, and around it all was the high impenetrable wall of the ever present mountain tops.
The railroad extends along a narrow ledge hewn in the side of a great volcanic cone, and the mountain is so steep that in looking out from the car window no support for the track can be seen. The car apperks to hang on the mountain's side 3,000 feet above the valley. The little Contreras, which we had left long before when we began the climb out of the valley, was nestled among the foothills at the edge of La Pedregal, the lava beds. Beyond the foothills stretched the broad expanse of valley. Fields of big maguey plants were changed into dark green medows; groves of trees became clumps of bushes, and scattered over the wide plain were groups of houses, in each group one or more church towers glistening white in the sunshine.
The floor of the valley is so level that the bright shining surfaces of its three lakes seemed to round up from their shores. Chalco and Chochomico were nearest, separated by a thin strip of land, and beyond them was the broad surface of Texcox. Their shores were clear cut and distinct, and every break in the surface of the valley could be easily traced, the air was so light, and clear. The lakes seemed only a little way from us, yet the nearer shore of Texcox was forty miles in a direct line.
A city of toy houses was spread out beside Texcocho. The houses of Mexico are built of stone and in solid blocks with many little court yards inside the walls. Between these blocks the streets seemed like black crevices, and the court yards were square holes. The train crawled around the huge black cone; the city and the lakes slowly, very slowly, glided behind the mountains on our left; and, straining our necks to look ahead, we saw the great white cone of Popocatapelt towering high above his neighbors and piercing the deep dark blue. Near him was stretched Ixacintiaul, the white woman, lying on the valley's rim, face upward, and covered closely with her great white cold shroud. The train turned, the valley was gone, and we rushed on between groups of naked mountain tops.
