The finest exhibition of scientific basketball of the season was given, at the rink Saturday evening. The playing was rapid and showed skill such as no other game of the year has shown. There was an equality of strength between the teams and neither had a decided easy game. The Kansas men being accustomed to a smaller field, were slightly handicapped as their game is attaining goal from any part of the field, while the 'Varsity game is to advance the ball to the goal. The playing of both teams was brilliant, often eliciting hearty applause. The goal throwing of Wm. Sutton and Emley for the 'Varsity was phenomenal, while Pachel, Funk and Martin for K. C., were almost equally good. At 8:15 the teams were in their positions and Dr. Naimshim put the ball in play, the Varsity playing for the west goal. Emley getting the better of his pponent drove the ball into K.U. territory and before K.C. and the spectators knew what had happened, Sutton, aided by Hess had thrown the first goal. The same thing was done again in less time than one can tell it. K.U. had scored 4 in less than three minutes. It seemed that Kansas City was up against the "realthing" and she was. The boys remained cool, however, and spent a moment in seeing how it was done, and then began to play ball in earnest. The Varsity work was just as brilliant throughout the first half, but Kansas City was also playing ball. By some means the Y.M.C.A. men pressed the ball to Funk. Who reached up and put it in the goal. This was done three times in quick succession. Emley threw two goals for the Varsity, Sutton threw three more, when Pachel of Kansas City made a brilliant field goal and time was called. Score K.U. 16. C.K. 8. When the second half was called the men wearing the tiger sweaters trotted out with a look of determination on their faces which told the spectators that they were going to play to win. After five minutes of terribly hard playing Kansas City made the first goal of the second half. The 'Varsity was playing faster and harder than in the first half but Kansas City was interfering much more with her goal throwing. Rachel and Martin of Kansas City each made goals and the score was 14 to 18 in favor of Kansas University. Things now took a decidedly interesting aspect and the playing was just a little like football the principle game was knocking the ball from your opponent this play continued until a foul was called on Kansas City and Satton threw a foul goal thus relieving a little the anxiety of the 'Varsity spectators. In the minute and a half remaining neither side scored and the second half closed Kansas City, having scored 6 to the 'Varsity's r. The game had been satisfactory to the con testants and the spectators. It was New Books. We are, constantly receiving new additions to our stock. It will pay you to see our line.

On Tuesday afternoon Professor Hunter addressed the club. His subject was "Present Economic Status of Insects as a Class." He based his talk on a paper written by R. O. Howard and published in "Science." Professor Hunter said man is largely to blame that certain insects become so numerous as to destroy crops. He has killed so many of the birds and animals that preyed upon these insects that they no longer hold the insects in check and thus the balance of nature destroyed. Insects are very injurious and their ravages are a menace to all vegetable matter. They sometimes destroy crops, stored foods, dwellings and clothing. They also often inflict much harm upon live stock. The apple has 281 species of insect en emies, the clover 82, and the sugar beet 70. It has been estimated that the average annual damage to cultivated crops in the United states, by injurious insects amount to $30,000,000. Insects attack almost everything that is stored up. They even injure Persian insect powder. Recently certain species of flies have been discovered in California that breed in pools of crude petroleum. A further idea of the injury wrought by insects can be gotten from the estimates of the depreciation in the value of cattle brought into the Chicago stock yards. The loss incurred by the bof fly on cattle brought into the union stock yards, during six months, was estimated to be $3,335,565. On the other hand insects are beneficial in many ways. They destroy noxious plants, pollenizers of plants and other injurious insects. They also serve to enrich the soil. It has been estimated that there are 113 species of beneficial insects; $^{116}$ injurious species and 70 species not yet determined. Last week, for the first time this year, the men who were trying for positions on the base ball team were able to get out onto McCook field. There are about forty trying for positions and the prospects for the game were never, in the history of the University brighter. The selection of the team will be left to Dr. Naismith and Capt. Housh. Base Ball. There will be three games played with Haskell institute the first week of April. Arrangements are being made and it is probable that K. U will play 'two games with' the University of Nebraska at Lincoln and two with the University of Missouri at Columbia, while these colleges will reciprocate and each will play two games here. As Washburn has withdrawn from the triangular league the league will be composed of K. U., Ottawa, and Baker. The schedule as has been arranged so far by Manager Jewett is as follows. April 22, Ottawa at Lawrence. April 24, K. U. at Baldwin. May 13, Baker at K. U. May 15, K. U. at Ottawa. OTHELLO. THE MAQUEO MAKES A GRAND SUCCESS OF ITS FIRST TRIAL OF TRAGEDY. --- THE PLAY WAS ALL RIGHT AND EVERY ONE WILL SAY SO Vol. VII. No. 22 Tragedy is the highest form of dramatic art and in the representation of it the actor displays his biggest powers. In presenting the tragedy of "Othello," the Masque has fully demonstrated its powers. The performance last night fulfilled the expectations of all, and surprised many who did not realize the existence of so much dramatic talent in the University of Kansas. It showed that there is such talent here, and that in no mean degree. The acting was in every respect satisfactory, the play well staged, the costumes were fine, and nothing was lacking to the satisfaction of the large audience. It would be difficult to name every one of the cast as best. One feature was the uniform excellence of the actors. Of course the three leading parts, Desdemona, Othello and Iago, are the most difficult, but they were admirably interpreted by Miss Brown, Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Baker. Miss Eva Brown's ability is too well known to need comment, but she increased her laurels by her rendition of the part of Desdemona. She entered completely in the womanly character of the fair maid of Venice and her loving, loyal devotion to Othello even to the end. Nothing remained to be asked from such a portrayal. Mr. Hale Hamilton was well fitted tr voice and figure to take the part of the warlike Moor. He was filled with, the savage passion of the barbarian, culminating pethaps when he hurled lago from him. His conception of the part was good and in most parts his action strong, although his appearance was not always graceful. Mr. Franklin, Baker, who had been hitherto seen only in comedy, showed that he could play well the greatest villain in literature, as well as Touchstone. He was throuch outlaugh the "honest, honest lago" with tones of sympathy and kindness for all, but revealing in his soilleguies the devilish depth of his infamous schemes. Mr. Baker is an actor of talent and of special nobility of countenance, which suits well the double faced part of lago. He was probably the best actor among the men. But one of the great things about Shakespeare is that he could introduce more than one strong character, yes, more than three. Here we have besides Desdemona, Othello and Iago, Emma Cassio, Brahantio and Roderigo; In these other parts some fine acting was done. George Wood's two scenes as Cassio in the second act were as clever pieces of acting as were represented in the whole play, and showed ability of a superior order. Mrs. Smith as Amelia rose to a great height in the fifth act and received the greatest applause given to anyone. The audience once wished that she had more to do. Among the minor characters especially worthy of mention, are Mr. Kose as Erabianto and Mr. Johnson as the Duke of Venice, Brobantio has but one scene, but one full of the strongest emotion so that Booth regards it as one of the heavy parts of the play. There an actor has good chance to show his ability. Taking it all in all, it was a fine show, well acceptable to all who attended, and one of which "The Masque" and especially the members of the cast, may certainly be pronounced. They have worked hard and long and have attained the success they deserve. This is a striking demonstration of their wishes, and the WERKLY wishes to congratulate each member of the cast. The Marque in an institution now firmly establishes and if its future can be judged by its past, we shall certainly hope for great things from it in the days to come. Save time and patience by using a Foun- tain pen. The Waterman Ideal and the Parker's Lucky Curve are the leading ones. You can see a fine line of these goods at Rowlands & Bender.
