ANNUAL ORATORICAL CONTEST.
SHERMAN G ELLIOTT CARRIES OFF THE FIRST PLACE.
Large Audecge Present and Much Enthusiasm Shown.
The annual oratorical contest was held in Frazer Hall Wednesday night, to determine who should represent the University at the state oratorical contest at Ottawa. February 24.
Although but two students had entered the contest, much interest was aroused, and when the University band had ceased playing, the chapel was filled with students' and townspeople. The two contestants Mr. Rose and Mr. Elliott, were greeted with great applause, and intense enthusiasm was manifested by those present, as each brought out some good thought or striking point.
Sherman G. Elliott carried off the laurels, the subject of his oration is "What of the Future?"
Each received much courage and help by the size of the audience. During the time preceding the contest and while awaiting the decision of the judges the University band held the attention of the audience.
The oratorical part of the program was diversified by a vocal solo by Miss Stemm of the Fine Art department.
C. E. Rose took for the subject of his oration "The Power of Ideas." His language was excellent and he spoke in clear, ringing tone, which could be distinctly heard in all parts of the room. The oration was replete with many beautiful thoughts and it attested the ability of the writer.
Sherman G. Elliott, a brother of P. S. Elliott who brought honor and laurels to K. U. last year by winning the state oratorical contest, has much of the fire and eloquence of his brother. His oration "What of the Future," is desired to win first place at Ottawa. Mr. Elliott not only receives the honor of representing the University at the state contest, but he received greater honor in receiving a higher marking over so worthy an opponent as Mr. Rose. He spoke in clear and measured tones, and his perloids were well chosen, showing a skillful handling of his subject. The oration deals with a current and popular subject of the new policy of the United States and received much applause from the audience. His thoughts were to the point, beautiful and rounded into harmony with each other.
The judges on thought and composition were Thos. Doren, F. D. Coburn and A. W. Dana; and on delivery Prof. Dunlap, Prof. O'Leary, and Clarence Hall.
The contest will go on record as one of the most successful since the foundation of the oratorial association. The large audience attests the awakening in this line of study.
The summary of the weather report for January, taken by Chancellor Snow, shows mean temperature of 29.57 degrees. The highest temperature was 60 degrees and the lowest was 7 degrees below zero. There were four inches of snow during the month, three fogs and a precipitation of 42 inches. 44.67 per cent of the sky was cloudy, there being but two entirely clear days and six entirely cloudy.
Four staid and dignified seniors appeared in caps and gowns at the contest.

FOWLER HALL NOTES.
Assignments have been posted on the bulletin board in the main building.
Some of the advanced students will be set at work remedeling the old plower and ath es which were in the fire.
The number of students having increased in the last few years necessitates four extra lathes, which have been ordered.
The new milling machine has not yet arrived, but is expected now at any time, and will be set up immediately upon its arrival.
Fred Stone and Bert Cluster have finished moving and setting up the testing laboratory machinery.
The marble switch board was shipped from Vermont January 20, and will arrive soon.
The machinists under the direction and supervision of F. E. Ward have been working on the old one hundred and fifty four horse power engine, which was in the fire, all fall and the department deserves a great deal of credit for its industry and for its work in regard to this engine. The machine has been set up and tested and found to be in just as good order as it ever was. When warm weather comes it will be sand-papered, repainted an polished.

The committee on interstate Debate having been asked by Missouri for an in interpretation of the words, "British colonial policy" has sent the following statement to Columbia:
It is well worth any students time to spend a half day in the Fowler shops as they are a model of neatness, beauty and are the best shop in the west.
Interstate Debate.
"Question, --Resolved, that the United States should adopt the British colonial policy in the government of its recent acquisitions, Hawaii, Porto Rico and Philippines."
Interpretation—Officially British colonies are divided into three classes (see Brit. vol. 1, 160) and the colonial policy of Great Britain is to advance one colony from a lower class to a higher one as soon as circumstances justify a larger degree of self government. But they are never to be allowed an equal representation and a vote in the house government."
The time for the preliminary contest was fixed for March 3. The debaters selected to represent the different organizations at the preliminary are: E. H. McMath and W. J. Baumgartner for Snow society; J. H. Carr and Mr. Hyatt, for Adelphic society; P. D. Baker and Mr. McChan, for minor debating clubs; E. H. Brady and J. A. Andrews, for the Law school; L. Lyons and O. J. Lane, for the Kent club and J. W. Shepard, for the Art school.
The Adelphic.
Notwithstanding the cold and disagreeable evening a good sized crowd assembled in the Adelphic rooms Saturday night, January 28th. The meeting was set aside for the contest to choose debaters for the final Kansas-Missouri debate, but owing to the coldness of the room and the non-appearance of two of the judges, the debate was postponed until Monday night. The evening was spent in a short impromptu program. After the installation of the new president, Oscar Lane, Miss Root gave a recitation and Mr. Burton delivered an impersonation. This was followed by a debate upon "Woman's Suffrage," Messrs. Hyatt and Belcher. defending and Messrs. Decker and Benson opposing the right of women to vote. Each speaker was limited to three minutes. The decision was left to the ladies, who refused to make known their opinions upon the argument.
The department of taxidermy has just finished a fine harp seal. It is the largest seal now mounted and is one of the finest specimens brought back by Prof. Dyche. The next seal to be mounted is the ugzug seal, which is about 10 feet long.
Prof. Dyche's class in advanced zoology now occupies the cat room of Prof. Williston. The department can probably do much better work in the absence of the ball room music and the stentorian commands of Mrs. McCollam Smith.
K. U.'S FIRST GAME.
PLAYED AT KANSAS CITY FRIDAY.
Score 16 to 5 in Favor of Kansas City.
At 3:50 Friday afternoon the Kansas University Basket Ball team left Lawrence to play their first scheduled game of the season with the Y. M. C. A. Basket Ball队 of Kansas City, Mo
The Kansas boys were hospitably entertained by the Y. M. C. A., and everything that could be done for them was done.
The score would seem to represent that the game was a one-sided affair. On the contrary it was a splendid exhibition of basketball.
The chief characteristic of the Y. M. C. A. playing was that whenever any one of them got the ball, they threw for a goal. K. U. undoubtedly played a more scientific game as they worked the ball to the basket and then tried for a goal. Our goal throwing was nothing phenominal.
K. U should not feel discouraged, but encouraged over the showing they made in their initial game.
K. U. was handicapped by the fact that the baskets of the Y M.C. A. club were fast tended to the wall while those which the K. U. boys were accustomed to play with were about twelve feet from the wall. The game abounded in brilliant plays and from time to time the plays brought forth tremendous applause from the audience.
THE GAME IN DETAIL—FIRST HALF.
The game was called promptly at 8:45 with Kansas at the south goal. The regulation twenty minute halves were played.
After one minute of play, owing to a foul, Sutton threw a goal. The playing from this time was exceedingly fast. The Y. M. C. A after three minutes play threw a field goal. Sutton made one of the most sensational plays of the game one minute later. The ball was thrown to him and he rolled it for three yards. He was viciously beset by two Y. M. C. A. men and bending backward he threw the ball fully twelve yards and got a goal. The cheering at this good play was loud and long.
Jesse James, the young man who has lately come into prominence by his alleged connection with the recent train robberies in Missouri, at this time played a rough, and at times, a very ungentleman game. He was cautioned and punished by the referee several times during the game. During the next ten minutes the Y. M. C. A. made a scratch goal, and the half closed with the score Y. M. C., A., 4 K. U., 3.
SECOND HALF
During the first half of this half, K. U. braced up and outplayed the Y. M C.A. Henderson and Bowen distinguished themselves by their clever rolling and Sutton seemed to be everywhere at the same time. K. U. threw a field goal.
The latter half of this half was characterized by the number of fouls committed. Ashley distinguished himself by throwing a field goal fifteen yards away. The Y. M. C. A. made four points from fouls and eight from field goals during the last ten minutes play. The game was finished at 9-45. Final score Y, M. C. A; 16; K, U. 5. Line up.

Basket Ball Game,
There will be a game of basket ball at the skating rink next Friday night between Kansas University and the Topeka basket ball team.
A good game is expected as Topeka's coach, Caswell of 23rd St. New York Y. M. C. A. basketball team played on that team, which has never been defeated.
Vol. VII. No.18.
The students should all come out and encourage one of the best and most scientific games in the world.
The Masque.
The Masque met last Monday evening with Prof. Penny. After the transaction of business and the adoption of the new constitution, the club was very pleasantly entertained by Mrs. Penny. A special meeting was called for next Monday evening. This will be the annual meeting for the election of officers.
SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS.
Professor Preyer went to St. Louis the 8th to hear M. Rofenthal.
A number of new students have registered in the Fire Arts department for the new quarter.
Miss Geneve Lichtenwalter has been invited to play in Kansas City, February 15th.
Professor Farrel has returned from Kansas City where he assisted Mr. Edward Kreiser in an organ recital Thursday evening. His violin solos were highly appreciated.
Miss L. Dickinson, who has been having trouble with her eyes, went to Kansas City Thursday to consult an occultist.
Several of the faculty accompanied by a number of music students attended Madame Barreno's recital at Kansas City January 27. All report a fine time and the concert an excellent one.
The Pipe Organ tickets are now on sale.
The first recital will be given Tuesday evening, February 14. It is to be hoped that the citizens and students will show their appreciation of Prof. Penny's uniting efforts, to make these recitals a success.
The Spinsters' Convention.
The time for regular Y. W C. A. prayer meeting has been changed from Wednesday evening at 5 o'clock to Tuesday evening at the same hour. The change has been made to accommodate a number of the young women who have physical culture on Tuesday.
Such an aggregation of old maids as had never before been seen in Lawrence greeted a crowded house Thursday night. Their appearance was a decided success in every respect. Prof. Abe Levy's wonderful invention certainly leaves nothing to be desired, and can even effect the wonder demanded by the candidate whose chief desire was to be a Phi Psi—like Willie Cockins.
The musical and elocutionary numbers were charmingly rendered and in themselves constituted a concert or no mean merit. The whole idea was a novel one and was certainly well carried out, reflecting great credit on the ability of those who took part and on the ladies of the Presbyterian church who have had the management of it and who have worked thus hard to raise money for the new church.
Those taking part were Misses May Gardner, Ida Smith, Erna Barteldes, Kate Nicholson, Katherine Addison, Zillah Smith, Allie Rohe, Grace Poff, Gertrude Becker, Mame Addison, Ota Nicholson, Frances Barker, Jessamine Connelly, Mary Riddle, Lillie Cahill, Anna Rankin, Mame Tisdale, Ella Russell, Belle Ross, Miss Leedy, Miss Saum, Alberta, Winneck, Ethel Connellly, Mrs, O'Brien Cecil Stanford, Virgine McCrory, Bonnie Bell, Myrtle Lawton, Abbie Noyes, Franklin Baker, Abe Levy, Hugh Megs, Rob Manley.
Y. W. C. A. NOTES.
The prayer meeting next Tuesday will be led by Mrs. Cora McCollum Smith.
Miss True, state secretary of the Y. M. C. A., was expected to visit the association this week. As she was unable to be here, the meeting was led by the president, Miss Henderson.
