A practice game of baseball was played by the team Saturday afternoon with the Indians at Haskell. No attempt was made to play a regular team but all of the candidates were given a few innings. While Dale Gear, who is coaching the team played field for three innings trial. It was the first time the boys had engaged in outdoor practice and considering this fact the game put up was very encouraging to the fans who walked out to the Indian school to see the first game of the season. Of the new men Ellis, who played first for three innings, and then went behind the bat to catch Peters for the next three, made the most favorable impression. Perhaps the most interest centered in the work of the pitchers. Both Swett and Peter were given a trial for three innings. Both pitched a fairly steady ball and but few safe hits were made off of either. Peter pitched a particularly steady game not giving a single base and striking out several men. Phillips was also given a trial for one inning but this one inning was hardly sufficient to allow his work to be judged. The big score of both sides was largely the result of the rough condition of the ground, which made fast fielding in the infield almost impossible. The game was marred by the injury sustained by Keeler the Indian third baseman whose nose was broken by an ugly bounding grounder. Seven innings were played the final score being 10 toin favor of Kansas University. Regents Meet Wednesday The board of regents will meet Wednesday. At that time the board of regents will take action upon the suggestions of the faculty in regard to the proposed changes in the requirements for admission in the course of study. There is little doubt that both suggested changes will be adopted. At this meeting the usual routine business of the spring meeting is to be transacted. The distribution of funds among the departments will be made. This year however, there will be but $8,000 to disdistribute instead of the usual $100,000, since the legislature of last year took the fixing of salaries into its own hands. Neither will it be possible to make promotions or additions to the faculty. The regents are forbidden by the recently enacted statute to pay any salaries except those provided for by the act. The attorney general has furthermore given it his opinion that since the regents are denied the right to alter the salaries, they also excluded from changing the titles No assistant or associate professor, need hope for promotion for another year a least.

On Wednesday evening the sixth recital was given by the pupils of the music school. It was a piano recital although the pianists were assisted by Miss Jean Bowersock, violinist, and Miss Myrtle Lawton contralto. The program was slightly shorter than usual but was very well rendered. The first number was a selection arranged for piano and organ and played by Profs. Penny and Preyer. It was an overture to "Coriolanus" by Beethoven. It was a very brilliant piece and very brilliantly executed. Mr. Harold Henry was the second on the program with a very pretty selection by Robert Schumann, entitled "Soaring." He played very clearly and with a great deal of precision. The next number was a march by Victor Hollaender, by Miss Boyles. It was a heavy piece abunding in heavy pull chords. At one part of the piece she seemed to get slightly mixed but when she came to the same thing later in the piece she played it well and ended strong. Miss Lawton's song was very pleasingly rendered. It was entitled "Grass and Roses" and was composed by Bartlett. The fifth number was by Miss Weber. Her selection was "Rordo Brillante" by Karl von Weber and was played well. Miss Fisher's playing was up to her usual high standard. Her piece was a Sherzo from Sarato in B flat minor by Chopin. The final number was a Romance from "Samson and Dehlah" by Saint Saen, arranged for piano, organ and violin and played by Miss Bowersock, Prof. Penny and Prof. Preyer. It was very finely played and enjoyed by the audience. Latest styles, all new shapes, in Fredora and stifhats at Boston store. J. W. O'BRYON, DENTIST. Over Bell's Music Store. Lawrence, Kan. )
