FIRST GAME GOOD BUT THE SECOND ABOUNDED IN ERRORS.
The Base Ball Season Opens at K. U.-The Haskell Indians are Comparatively Easy for Us.
The Work of the Two Pitchers, Hall and Tucker, Is to Be Praised — Housh, Lucas and Moore also Played Excellent Ball — The Final Scores Were 9 to 6 and 16 to 10.
The base ball season opened at Kansas University Saturday, April 8th, with a game with the Indians of Haskell Institute. A fairly good sized crowd attended the game but the good work of the team warranted a much better attendance. The notable features of the game were the catching of Parent, the good batting of Lucas and Poorman's great catch. The game was fast from start to finish, and consequently the crowd was very enthusiastic.
The game was called at 3 p. m.
During the first three innings neither side scored; but in the fourth, Lucas made a three base hit over the right fielder's head. Barnett followed with a safe hit scoring Lucas. With two men out, Miguel went to pieces and together with two errors by the Indians K. U. scored six more runs. In the first half of the fourth inning the Indians made five runs, due to several hits and errors. However, they only crossed the home plate once more during the game, while K. U. was able to make the rounds twice.
Hall was put in to pitch to start the game and did some very good work. Tucker replaced Hall in the fifth inning and he also covered himself with honor. Housh was loudly applauded when he twice made very difficult stops and threw the men out at first. Parent also played a star game. He did not have either an error or a passed ball. He made two hits out of four times at the bat, one of them being a two-bagger. The final score was 9 to 6. Umpires, Hogg and Warren.
THE SECOND GAME.
The second game with Haskell institute was played on McCook field Tuesday, April 11. The game was a slugging match intermingled with numerous errors. The day was very warm and as the players were not used to it they lacked spirit and consequently the game was long and tiresome. Moore, who is trying for catcher showed up in great form and undoubtedly will hold his position. He made for himself a reputation in catching and also in batting and base-running. He has the ginger of a ball-player and enthuses the players very much. The features of the game were the batting of Housh and Moore. Moore out of five times to bat made three safe hits. Housh, however, out of five times to bat made two-bagger, two singles and a sacrifice. Both Hall and Tucker showed up well under trying circumstances. The Indians played a listless game until Augusta began to get mad and rounded into pitching shape.
The Indians came first to bat and managed through an error to score. K. U. came to bat and knocked out five runs. Up to the eighth inning the score was 11 to 9 in favor of K. U., but in the eighth Augusta was hit for five runs. Poorman

THE MISSOURI DEBATE
Facts and Logical Reasoning Win Over Sarcastic Viturination and
Disconnected Argument.
Our debating team under heavy disadvantages, covered itself with glory at Columbia in the annual debate, the result of which was briefly told last week. Prof. Vickery, who accompanied the boys, is enthusiastic in his praise of their eloquence and logic.
Kansas was clearly ahead both in delivery and in argument. Before the debate there was considerable scrapping about judges and their minor points. Missouri's representatives carried this clear through the debate and lost no opportunity for heaping ridicule and abuse upon their opponents. They said that Kansas had a few beautiful theories, but according to disinterested listeners, and the judges, they were theories backed up by indisputable facts. There was no discountery on the part of the Kansas men. The attitude of the Missourians was in decided contrast with the debate here last year when the visitors were applauded as heartily as our own speakers, although it is thoroughly consistent with Mr. McIntyre's remarks as published in the Independent afterward.
Mr. Decker opened for Kansas. His speech was fine and furnished the aesthetic element of the evening. Though it was full of eloquence and beauty, the eloquent orator was merged in the clear logical thinker. He easily outclassed everyone on the platform.
Missouri was greatly prejudiced against Decker, for he had been there two years ago when he won the Interstate Oratorical contest, and their only hope was that he would not be as successful in debate as in oratory.
The argument in Decker's speech was probably no better than Hyatt's. Hyatt made a strong talk and his delivery was good. He began quietly and toward the end grew strong and eloquent.
Brady acquitted himself creditily. He held his audience from the start. His voice was strong and full, but his modulation was somewhat defective and at times he bordered on the monotonous.
On the whole the speakers were nicely
balanced. K U. bad one advantage in that Missouri did not divide the question so systematically nor outline their points.
In the closing speech K. U. showed the greatest superiority. Here Mr. Decker proved conclusively that he was not only an orator but a debater by the masterful way in which he summed up the arguments made by the negative, and rebuted the leading arguments of the affirmative. He showed that if all the Missourians had claimed was granted as true, they still had not proved what was necessary in order to win the decision. This is the second time Mr. Decker has led K. U. to victory in debate. He was the leader of the team which won the unanimous decision over Nebraska in '08.
The speakers for Missouri were lacking in self possession, and spoke rather at random. They walked about the stage, and their first speaker stood part of the time with his back to the audience.
Their third speaker, Whitelaw, was the strongest, and the one on whom they relied most. He is a Vale man who had heard of Decker, and was anxious to buck up against him, but now he isn't so anxious. He talked like a threshing machine, and the highest praise which his admirer, the M. U. Independent can give him, is to say that his arguments were stated with such rapidity as to confuse one. His speech was very pretty and taking, and abounded in sarcasm and wit which pleased the audience, but didn't take so well with the judges. He had lots of argument, but would run off on side issues.
Outside of the incidents at the debate itself our boys were given fine treatment and have nothing but praise for the president and faculty of the University of Missouri.
Mr. Decker's rebuttal speech was interrupted by the audience which could not trust the timekeeper to call him down when time was up. As the Independent says, this was a disgrace to the debate. This is also the only remark in its account by which one might remotely infer any sympathy for the Kansans or appreciation of them. Our boys however came back, loud in their expressions of appreciation of the ability shown by their opponents.
When asked what caused the decided victory of K. U. in debate over the Tigers Mr. Decker said:
Decker Talks of the Debate.
"It is due in the first place to the fact that harmony prevailed between the debaters, in the division of the question, and all during their preparation. Mr. Brady and Mr. Hyatt deserve special credit for the hard work they have done, and Mr. Hyatt is to be commended especially for the wide and thorough investigation he made of the subject.
In the second place Mr. Bumpardner had a great deal to do with the winning of the debate. As secretary of the debate committee, he holds a position which brings little glory, but calls for a great deal of time and work, and upon the conscientious manner in which this work is done, depends the success of K. U. in debate. It was largely due to him that the practice debates were so helpful. Besides him we have to thank for these practice debates, Messrs. Anderson, Lane and Karr, for their services in arguing against us, and also Professors O'Leary and Jones for their criticisms, the value of which we appreciated when we met the tigers.
In the third place too much credit it cannot be given to our new professor in Oratory. The zeal which Prof, Vickery shows in everything that pertains to debate and true oratory is having a marked effect. His criticisms—and in criticism lies his greatest power—as to logical arrangement, delivery, and general decorum in debate were of great help and were much appreciated by K.U's representatives. The encouragement which his presence at Columbia gave us will not be forgotten.

BOATING.
A Club Organized for Exercise and Sport on the River.
The beautiful water course on the tranquil Kaw will soon be alive with boats of all descriptions, propelled by the lusty strokes of Kansas University students. A club was organized Friday noon to promote the sport and obtain rates for the many who desire to participate in the interesting and healthful exercise. It was decided that the racing shells should be purchased and immediately put into shape for use. The question arose as to whether the membership should be limited as fear was expressed that enough boats could not be procured to supply the demand. Investigation however, showed that the boat house was well prepared to meet all demands made upon it and the club membership will no doubt be open to all students and faculty of both sexes
We, have, without question the most ideal watercourse in the state. Nothing will be more enjoyable than a pleasant excursion up the river.
During the early spring many of the boys have taken trips up the course on hunting expeditions. Now that the season is opened it is expected that club excursions and picnics will follow in rapid succession. A grand regatta is being arranged for to take place on Decoration day.
The keen enjoyment and exhilarating exercise will no doubt make boating the most popular sport at K. U. during the spring and fall
Reports from all the large eastern colleges and universities concerning boating are at present receiving considerable attention.
AMUSEMENTS.
Robert Mantell will be the attraction at the opera house next Thursday the 20th, presenting his great success "Monbars" which he has played over 3,000 times and always to delighted audiences. The play is a bright one and holds the attention of the audience through all the five acts, "Monbars," a young naval officer, falls in love with Diane, the daughter of the Marquis de Noirmont, who is one of his greatest creditors and as a token of his gratitude to "Monbars" for extending the time of payment De Noirmont gives him his daughter's hand. Diane has however already betrothed herself to Louis de Meran, a friend of "Monbars," which after his marriage "Monbars" discovers, but is not apprised of the man's identity. The marriage therefore turns out very unhappily and as one of "Monbars" enemies, Laurent concocts a scheme to poison him; circumstances point to the guilt of Diane. The denouement comes however, Diane is proved innocent Laurent is killed by "Monbars" in a duel. Diane discovers her real love for "Monbars" and the curtain descends upon a happy reunited couple.
