A TENNIS TEAM.
The Spring weather has renewed interest in tennis. Some of the students, and Professor's Carruth, Abbott, Higgins and Ashton are planning to lay out new courts for the use of the University. When talking to a reporter on the subject Professor Higgins said: "Of late years tennis has received very little support here. And the only way that tennis can be successfully played as a University sport, is by the organization of a tennis club under the direction of the Athletic Board, with regular membership fees for its support. In this way tournaments could be arranged and the best men picked to represent K. U. in inter-collegiate contests
The athletic board makes a standing offer of the space south of McCook field, to any club of eight members who will lay out tennis courts on those grounds. K.U. once boasted of many skillful players; Prof. Higgins, Russell Whitman, Carrol and Sidney Griggs have brought honor to K.U. in tennis tournaments. The best players among the students are: Gentry, Draper, Caton. Purton, Smith and Dubb.
R. C. Ross of the class of '06, has been ill for a few days with typhoid symptoms. He was taken to the hospital Satusday but his physicirn thinks he will be out in a few days.

GLEE CLUB CONCERT.
The University Glee Club never sang better than it did at its concert last Friday evening in the High School auditorium. Every seat was taken and the enthusiastic audience called for two and three encores for each number on the program. Half the proceeds went to the Club and half to the High School Athletic Association under whose auspices the concert was given Judging from the unusual number of encores called for and the smiles of everybody at the close of the concert, our Glee Club has added another one to its long string of "hits."
The club will give six or seven concerts this Spring. The manager has received letters from several Kansas towns including Tonganoxie, Ottawa and Kansas City, Kans., arranging for the concerts—the first of which will be in about two weeks.
The club is resting from rehearsals this week, but will resume next Tuesday. The members are now in good training and will give one of the finest musical programs ever given by the University club at the annual Spring concert, May 4.
BASKET BALL CAPTAIN FOR NEXT YEAR
At a meeting of the basket ball team held Wednesday morning, Milton Miller was elected captain for the next season of 1905 and 1906. He was one of the strongest men of this season's team and will serve faithfully and well. Arrangements were also made relative to having the team's picture taken for the annual.
There will be no special excursion Friday, but both roads have made a rate of $1.60 for the round trip. Tickets may be had today and are good for the return on any trains until Sunday night. The roads already have an open rate of $1.60 on for the grand operas in Kansas City and could not cut below this rate. The Union Pacific has offered to run a special train from Kansas City to Lawrence Friday night if a sufficient number desire to return at that time.

KANSAS METERORITES.
The Only Collection in the West.
The University museum contains the only collection of Kansas meteorites in the West, and includes specimens of five different meteoric falls, worth from $2,000 to $3,000. The largest specimen weighs 218 pounds and the smallest less than one pound.
The meteorites are the private property of Dr. F. H. Snow, who started his collection fifteen years ago when a large number of what are known as Pallasite iron meteorites was found in Kiowa county, Brenham township. No one knows when the meterorites fell, and they were only discovered when the sod was being broken. The farmer on whose land they were found hffd no idea that the curious stones had any market value and gave specimens to his friends as curiosities, but his wife conceived the idea of their origin and the news-spread over the state. Dr. Snow went at once to Kiowa county but Professor Craigin of Washburn college had been there and secured all as he thought, 2,000 pounds for $400, and shipped them to New York. After a little search Dr. Snow secured five specimens that had been overlooked, one of them weighing 218 pounds. He was offered $1,500 for this specimen by the Austrian museum at Vienna a few years ago, but refused, wishing to keep it in Kansas.
The next meteorites Dr. Snow secured was a stony Sidercolite which fell in Washington county about mid-day early in the summer of 1890. Although the sun was shining brightly when it tell, the brilliancy of its light was noticed for over a hundred miles around. Dr. Snow and Prof. Craigin secured the meteorite which weighed 144 pounds for $800. and divided it. Parts of it are now in Dr. Snow's possession.
Another specimen Dr. Snow secured, fell near Tongonoxie, about fifteen miles from Lawrence. A University student secured it from the farmer on whose farm it fell, for $2.50 and he sold it to Dr. Snow for $250—enough to pay the rest of his University course. Only a slice of this meteorite, which was solid iron is in the collection at present.
Dr Snow has steadily refused to dispose of the meteoric stones under any conditions which will take them away from the University as he feels that the place for them is in the museum of the Sunflower institution. No one has felt dispased to donate any such specimens to the University and it is owing to Dr. Snow's enterprise that the few remaining are not now resting in European museums. As Kansas grows in wealth the Board of Regents may feel in a position to secure the collection as the property of the museum.
"Shanty" will have Saturday evening dances during Lent at Pythian hall, beginning March 14. This is the season of the year when you want a change in the Menu. Wiedemann has a fine assortment of Sundaes, with fruits and nuts. Try them.
