THE MAN WHO FELL FROM THE WATER TOWER.
N. M. McGillivray, a former student of the University, was a visitor at the University this week. McGillivray is remembered and known to all students of the University as the man who fell 75 feet from the top of the stand tower while attempting to inscribe his class numerals upon it. His class was the last to attempt such feats and during his freshman and sophomore years they bedecked their side of the stand tower, which is easiest to get at from the ladder. But as it was easy for other classes to do that, so in Mr. Gillivray's junior year, it was proposed to place the emblem of their class on the northeast side which is very difficult to get at. A rope and pulley arrangement was made whereby a man could be pulled up to the top, McGillivray, as the most daring, was selected to do the painting. He was safely pulled up and was beginning to work when the rope broke just above his head. Nearly dead from the fall, he was carried to his home where he lay helpless for weeks. After getting up he was compelled to go on crutches for nearly a year, but he has since almost entirely recovered and to look at him now one would never dream that he had gone through such a painful experience.
Of the six men who had hold of the rope that night two have since died, one, George Hood, is a member of the faculty. and the whereabouts of the other three is unknown.
Mr. McGillivray has for the last four years been in the employ of the Mexican Central Railroad. At present he holds the position of Division Superintendent of the Zacatecas branch.
THE BASE BALL TEAM.
Prospective Line Up. Plenty of Good Ma-
verial.
The prospects for next year base ball team are very bright. Seven of the old players will be back and there will be plenty of good, new material from which to choose. The catching position will be very well guarded by Royer, who played the same position last year and who is captain of this year's team. Royer is considered one of of the best amateur catchers in the Missouri valley and he is a good field general, always in the game and always getting the best out of his men. The pitching staff this year will be very strong. Morgan the star pitcher on last year's team will hold down the same position next season. Gill and Ames, who pitched for the Friends University last year, will also be on the pitching staff and should prove very valuable to the team. Dean who played third base some and short last year, will probably play short this year in Sexton's place as Sexton is a star outfielder and will be needed in the left garden. Henry who played first base last year will not be back this year but there will be a good man to hold down that suck in either Brookens or Ben Young. Ben Young was a star first baseman on the Kansas City Kansas, high School team last year. Second base will be well covered by Wilson, who played that position on last year team, Johnson, who played third base last year and who will play the same base this year was the best around player on last year's team. He never lost his head and is a good hitter and a surthrower. Everything that come in the outer field will be take care of by Sexton, Woodford an Gillette, who make an outfit that is hard to beat. The schedule though scarcely started will probably embrace the following College of Emporia, Emporia Normal, Agricultural College Washburn, Friends University Fairmount, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Washington University Missouri and possibly Iowa Practice will begin as soon as the weather settles and will be pushed vigorously.
