will make their appearance together with the famous historical characters of the past. Some of the University professors will be introduced, the Populist legislators Senator Jumper in particular will receive their share of attention, and an attempt will be made to make it interesting for everybody with local allusions and adaptations. The Seniors have been working hard on this play, and will put it on the stage with all the necessary accessories of scenery and costuming. The mere fact that it is given under the direction of Miss Georgia Brown is a sufficient guarantee that the performance will be excellent. Miss Brown herself says it is the best Senior Play that was ever put on the stage in Lawrence. The Seniors will undoubtedly have a crowded house.

BAKER VS. K. U.
The 'Varsity defeated their old rivals from Baker by the one sided score of 16 to 7 in the game played last Monday on McCook Field. The visitors went to pieces in the first inning, allowing K. U. to score 6 runs. Butchart was in the box for the visitors. The home secured 14 hits off his delivery. His support was decidedly ragged however. The Methodists were not able to bunch their hits on Stanley and secured but 7 during the game. The 'Varsity team played together at all times and several sensational plays were made. Todd's brilliant stop of Butchart's sharp drive to the infield and Swett's single handed catch of a foul in the seventh inning were the features. Carroll with four hits, two runs, four assists, and one put out was first with Sherman a close second as to general average. Blackshere's work at bat together with a record of five stolen based made him a ready favorite. Peters took Stanley's place in the box in the seventh inning. Housh retired from the game. Archie Hogg and Lieut. Smith of Baker umpired the game.
