KANSAN ELECTS.
Four New Board Members Chosen.
The board of the KANSAN elected four new members to fill the existing vacancies at the regular weekly meeting Monday morning.
They are:—Roy Roberts, '08,
Omer J. Miles, '08, Roy Moore,
'07, and Minnie Owens, '05.
Of the new members, Mr. Roberts was in the Fall term competition and was eligible for appointment at that time, but felt unable to accept the place then. The others were elected from the Spring competition and represent the best all round talent of those who have been working for positions. The KANSAN Board now has for the first time the full number of active members, who intend to use their time and energy in making the paper what it should be.
NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS.
All men who held shares in the old K. U. Weekly are requested to meet in room 15 at noon Monday. There are some matters connected with that organization, which need to be settled.
FRESHMEN ELECT CAPTAIN.
The freshmen met at noon Wednesday and elected H. H. Angney captain of the base ball team. All candidates for places on the team should be out on McCook field every afternoon this week to practice for the game with the Sophomores Saturday morning. Every one who can put up a good game is urged to be present.
HASKELL TAKES ONE
Indians Win Game By Score of 5 to 3.
The first base ball game of the season resulted in a victory for Haskell by a score of 5 to 3.
The game served to try-out the members of the University team as they had not payed in a match game together before.
The principal surprise in the game was the pitching of the two K. U. men.
When Hoffman went in to twirl in the sixth inning the team seemed to expect him to do all the work and forthwith the Indians began to pile up runs.
Relihan went in for the first five innings and not a man crossed the home plate although he was knocked about freely. This good showing was partly due to the good support that the team gave him, each man covering his position fully, not an error being made.
The first run was gained by a fly by Archiquette out to Sexton, who failed to stop the ball and let what would have been a one base hit develop into a home run. Hoffman struck out the next man up and also one man in the eighth inning, thus showing his control of the ball and if he had been as well supported as was Relihan the score might have been different. Luck seemed to be against Hoffman while it was with Relihan.
Johnson didn't seem to be able to keep out of the Indians way at third and was knocked over, letting the ball get away and the man in home.
One of the prettiest plays of the game was made when Woodford in center threw to Royer at home and caught the man, three feet from the plate. Sexton made a three bagger in the fifth which brought in Bailey from second. He in turn was brought in by a hit of Johnson.
Gillette made a three bagger but was left on the base. He fielded well, attending to everythat came his way.

COMPLIMENTARY REGITAL.
The complimentary recital given by Mrs. Lyons and Prof. Edward Hubach at the Methodist church Monday evening, was well attended by people of the town and of the University.
The program was given with
such snap that it was concluded only too early. The duets by Mrs. Lyons and Mr. Hubach were especially strong. They were Mendelssohn's "I Waited for the Lord," Lucantoni's "A Night in Venice," and "The Music of a Kiss," by Gastaldon. The execution of "Prison Scene from Faust," by Mrs. Lyons and "In Native Worth" and "Beloved, It Is Morn," by Mr. Hubach, won vigorous applause from the large audience. The remainder of the program consisted of bright, catchy songs which exemplified the ability of the singers in lighter work. Miss Maud Cook played the accompaniments on the piano, and in the absence of Miss Greisiager, Mrs. Straffon presided at the organ.
The concert was especially interesting because it was something of a farewell by Mrs. Lyons. Mrs. Lyons expects to leave Lawrence May 1st and be gone until September. She will fill several concert engagements and stay in Boston during the summer.
MISSOURI DEBATE POSTPONED.
The Kansas-Missouri debate which was to have been held Friday evening, April 14, has been postponed one week on account of difficulty in securing judges. The change makes the Iowa and Missouri debates the same night.
The baseball team will be in Columbia Friday and Saturday April 21, 22, and thus the two events will be combined.
IOWA GAME UNCERTAIN.
The Athletic Board met in the Chancellor's office Wednesday noon and instructed Manager Plank to try to make arrangements with Iowa for games Friday and Saturday afternoons on McCook field. On going to press word has not been received from Iowa in reply to the managers telegram but if a game is arranged for Saturday afternoon the inter class track meet will be postponed until the following Saturday. Announcements of the plans will be made at Chapel as soon as they are definitely arranged.
INTER-SCHOOL TRACK MEET
APRIL 22.-50 MEN WORKING.
The track meet between the schools of the University has been postponed until April 22, on account of the base ball game Saturday. This date will be exclusively for the track.
Every day sees a new squad of Engineers, Arts and Lawyers added to the group of men who have been working on McCook field. The college and the engineers are working harder than the other schools, and if Commons, Russell and other trackmen, who are now watching events from the side lines, come in, the meet will be a big affair. April 20 is the last day for entries. Any man who is enrolled in the University is eligible.
