WERE THE VICTORS LAST SATURDAY EVENING AT THE RINK.
A game of basket ball was played at th
rink Saturday evening between the Seniors
and Haskell, and the Juniors and Freshmen. ___
The Faculty and S. phomores Put Ups Very Good Game.-A Series of Games to Be Plaved This Winter Between the Various Classes and the Faculty.
To those who never before witnessed a game of basket ball, the contest last Saturday evening was a revelation. There is a general idea that basket ball is a sort of weak substitute for football. Such is not the case. In basket ball perhaps more agility is required than on the gridiron. Moreover, the game is free, from the roughness that is found on the football field, and is of special value as an athletic sport, since it can be played as well indoors as out. Professor Naismith who is the inventor of the game was one of the referees at the rink Saturday night and explained the point of the game to the spectators
Basket ball is a splendid sport for athletes and an interesting one to spectators. The series of games will do much to arouse the class spirit and will serve to keep up the interest in athletics until the base ball season opens.
The score was 25 to 24, in favor of the Seniors. For the Seniors, Royal, Emley, and Sutton did the best work, while Whitney and the two Owens boys of the Sophomore team deserves special mention.
A series of inter class and faculty games has been arranged. The two faculty games played last Saturday evening were merely preliminaries.
What They Think of It.
The first game of the evening was between the faculty and the Junior class. For the faculty, Professors Carruth, Hopkins and Barber and Messrs McClung and Hogg, with GEO. O. Foster as substitute, fought the battle. The faculty, while they understood the game, did not have as much endurance as the Juniors and consequently were defeated. The score was: Juniors 19, Faculty 8. In this contest Dennis, Sutton, Carruth, Hogg, and McClung were the stars—in fact, it was a regular 'all star combination.'
After the arena had been cleared and the wounded gladiators dragged out, and while the University band rent the air with "Rock Chalk," the Sophomore and Senior teams took their respective places. This game was a very pretty one, each team giving evidence of more practice than the teams of the Junior and Faculty displayed. The whole game was exciting and until time was called, the result was in doubt.
Kansas University has just adopted a new and lengthy constitution for its athletic association. The new plan has several good points about it which will doubtless unify and purify their athletic sports. However, they have so much machinery that it is likely to prove cumbersome and unwieldy. In this association there is a graduate, faculty and student membership. The officers are president, vice president, secretary and a treasurer, who is to hold his position by virtue of his office as treasurer of the University. There is to be a board of directors, consisting of eleven members, five of whom are students. For the direct supervision of sports there is a general manager, who is subject to the board of directors, but who has under his care all the team managers. Besides these there are team managers, team captains and eight standing committees. All of these furnish excellent places for aspiring young students but the scheme as a whole is open to the criticism, that where there are so many heads it will be almost impossible to place responsibility. Nebraska's plan, placing upon a board of control, consisting of five members, the entire responsibility for all the athletic interests of the University, is infinitely simpler and has worked admirably during its first half year of existence.—Nebraskan.

A Battle of the Giants.
Those who attended the Barb dance last Friday evening were witnesses to a novel contest—a contest in which neither strength nor powers of expression played a part, but a contest wherein grace and self possession were the all important factors. It was a test of dancing.
For a long time a sort of unfriendly rivalry has existed between Mr. John Buttomer and Mr. James Drysdale. This feeling grew out of frequent discussions as to their ability to "trip the light fantastic." The upshot of it all was, that on last Friday evening Mr. Buttomer challenged Mr. Drysdale to a contest of dancing, the same to be held immediately. Mr. Drysdale readily consented.
Vol. VII. No. 17.
The dancers with the exception of our heroes, seated themselves about the sides of the rcom. The orchestra struck up sweet strains of music, the rivals, each with a lovely, shy maiden clinging to his arm, stepped out upon the floor, and the battle began.
battle began.
On and on whirled the contestants, now plunging forward at a terrific pace, now whirling, with the rapidity of lightning, but their every movement was grace itself. Now the rivals bent their long, supple bodies almost to the floor, now they stood stiffly erect, while each gazed with flashing eye and dilated nestil upon his enemy. Oh it was a sight to behold! These buds of manhood, whirling and bending and swaying, as if shook by some mighty breeze. And all the while the smile of conscious superiority playing over their noble features.
But why dwell upon this splendid scene?
The music ceased, the dancers recovered their equilibrium, and slunk away into obscurity to await the decision of the indexes.
Mr. Drydsalde won by a score of 287 out of a possible 300.

A Comparison.
We publish below a part of an article sent to one of the state papers, by a normal graduate, and the reply, which Tom Charles, law 98, makes in his paper, the Republic City News;
"I desire this article to present the merits of the state normal at Emporia, which in the past has not met with as generous a support as its usefulness demands. The Normal is at the head of our public school system and every patron of the public schools of the state is interested in it as nearly every teacher in the state has or will soon take instruction there, and it is admitted that teachers with a Normal training are better equipped than those without such training. The people then are nearer, more closely related to the normal than either of the educational institutions. A large share of the graduates of the Normal become a part of the educational force of the state, thus giving back to it what the state has given them. The Normal is pre-eminently the people's school. * * * The graduates number about 1,200. The class of 189$ numbers 126, the largest class in its history. What other school in Kansas can furnish such a record? I have said that this is the people's school. By that I mean that it is patronized by the sons and daughters of the farmer, tradesmen and workingmen who largely earn the money themselves wherewith to pay expenses.
In these days when there is much said about legislation in favor of the rich, it is surprising that the legislators of Kansas do so little for the institution that is nearest to them and deal so liberally with institutions farthest removed from them and patronized largely by those who have no expectation of rendering back to the state any portion of that benefaction. * * * Notwithstanding the neglect this institution has received at the hands of the legislature, it is doing a grand work for education in the state. * * * I have said that the State Normal did not receive fair treatment as compared with the State University and Agricultural College. A comparative statement might not be amiss. I give approximate figures. Appropriations for payment of teachers: State Normal. University. Ag. Colleg

$27,000 $95,000 $38,000

Average cost per student:

These figures need no comment.
"Now my dearly beloved graduate of the K. S. N. it seems to us one of the essential things to be taught in Emporia is honesty. K. U. has no appropriation of $95,000 for teachers, but only 69,603.77 her student body is not made up of capitalists' sons and daughters, but only 2 per cent of them are of such parentage, 54 per cent of the boys and 14 per cent of the girls are self supporting; 54 per cent are the boys and girls of farmers, 14 per cent of laborers. There are not 800 students there but 1,100. And against your wonderful record of 120 graduates last year K. U. sent out 200 men and women who had taken from two to four years more work than they could obtain in Emporia. Against your 1,200 graduates she has 1,545. Why not tell that against the one course in Emporia—that of preparing country school teachers, K. U. has seven distinct and separate schools; that K. U. is a school for teachers of teachers; that she teaches more than reading, writing and spelling. She gives a score of special courses and has competent men for instructors. You can't expect surploin at the price of neck, you can't expect a Williston, a Dyche, a Carruth, a Blake, a Marvin or a Jimmy Green at the price of a Payne, a Stevenson, a McNally or a Baily. All honor and respect to our worthy K. S. N., but she bears the same relation to K. U. that a county school bears to our county high schools. In the words of your hero, Prof. Bally of Emporia, "Our Yellow dog knows more than that."

FACTS ABOUT BASKET BALL
For the benefit of those who are not acquainted with the game, the Cardinal publishes a list of the fouls and the methods of scoring.
1. Touching the ball at the center of the field before either of the center men has touched it.
2. Any player except the captain of the team addressing an official during the progress of the game.
4. Carrying the ball.
When a member of one side commits a general foul the opposing side is given a free throw for goal from a point fifteen feet from the goal. The following constitute general fouls:
3. Kicking the ball or striking it with the fists
5. Holding the ball. The ball must be held by the hands only. Using any other part of the body to hold or assist in holding the ball constitutes a foul.
6. Tackling, holding or pushing opponents. The arms must not be used in any way to interfere with the progress of a player who has not the ball. Grasping the clothing or person of a player with the hands or putting one or both arms about a player is called holding.
7. Delaying the game.
For the following fouls the player may be disqualified:
qualified;
1. Striking; 2, kicking; 3, shouldering;
4. unnecessary rough play; 5, tripping; 6.
backing.
The game is played in two halves usually of twenty minutes each. The teams change goals at the end of the first half.
Scoring: A goal from the field counts two points; a goal made from a foul counts one point. All goals thrown count for the side into whose goal the ball was thrown, even though it was done by mistake.
The department of zoology is at work upon a group of hair seals from Greenland collected by Prof. Dyche. The museum has three species of these seals in addition to a group of fur-seals. At present there is no room in the museum to place them on exhibition so they will have to be stored away until proper display rooms are furnished in a new museum building.
In a late number of the Library Journal, An article appeared by Prof. George Wagner, of the department of pharmacy, on a method of preserving pamphlets. The method is the invention of the author and is a good one. It will no doubt be hailed with delight by the librarians of the country as pamphlets are very hard to preserve for any length of time without having them bound.
The University has recently received a number of copies of the biennial report of the bureau of geology and mines of Missouri. It is only about sixty pages in extent, but from this it would seem that the work falls far short of the high quality attained under Dr. Keys, the former state geologist of Missouri. The work is full of scientific errors and impracticable theories.
The University Quarterly has received sixteen new exchanges since the 1st of January among which are the reports of the geological survey of Russia and publications of the royal library of Berlin.
The physics department has just recently received a low reading dynamometer and two high reading electrostatic volometers one of which has a range from zero to 12,000 volts.
