THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
SEASON'S FIRST GAME ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON
Kansas Aggies Here For Two
Battles Over Coming
Week-end
TEAM IS IN GOOD SHAPE
Continues Good Stick Work and Hopes to Cop Pair from Visitors
Kansas opens her home baseball season on McCook Field Friday afternoon, when the Varsity will meet the Kansas Aggle team. Last year K. U. won the championship and the Aggievillagers, winning two here and losing the series there.
This will be the first Conference game for the K, S, A, C, bunch this season. St. Mary's recently held them to a tie in an tenning game.
Of the Jayhawk pitching staff, Rodeye is in good shape at present, but Ulrhulwa's arm has been broken him up. The defense is looking fairly good, while Marxen is looking fairly good.
The stick work of the entire team on the Oklahoma trip was beyond the expectations even of Coach Lindsay, and there is no reason to believe that it will not be kept up throughout the season.
"Left" Farrel in left field is keeping that corner well guarded, and is not only good in getting over the third down zone of tactic advantage. Judkins has been showing up all watt centerfield in workouts since the southern trip, while Gerey and Bihr are both good for men. The Uhlbahr has been playing in left field.
Long Joe Bloomer at first has been improving in his defensive work considerable of late and this combined with his ability with the bat, makes him a mighty strong man for the Aggies to try to chaw on. On across the diamond at third Wetzel is a little slower than usual on his feet, but that manages to care for most everything that comes into his territory. He is not ready good reputation at short by his fielding and hitting in the workouts, and will give a mighty good account of himself in the coming games.
Joe Boyd at second, like the rest of the infield, takes a good healthy connection with the ball frequently, and has been showing well at second base. Gray will combine with Boyd to make it mighty unpleasant for any Aggie man who tries to put the initial bag in his pocket. Gray has a wicked ability to block shots of the enemy, and also leans against the horsehide in no mild manner.
This combination ought to give K U. a running jump at the Cowen enough to get the two games at home and remember it when we go down there.
PASSENGER DIRIGIBLE NOW READY FOR TRIAL
Giant Airship Will Carry Pas sengers from London to Malta and Egypt
IS LUXURIOUSLY FINISHED
Speed and Travel Comfort Combined; Will Carry Crew of Twenty-eight
London (By Mail).-England's first passenger diligence, the G. F. A. A. F. has been completed and is ready for trial trips about England, preparatory to carrying out demonstration com-
plications to Malta and Egypt this spring.
Equipped with sleeping cabins and commodious passenger saloon, carriage couches and upholstered with white enamel woodwork and nickel finishes, the G. F. A. W. A. F is an attractive innovation. Every effort has been made to laureate comfort of the cabin.
Meals will be served aboard. The cooks galley is lined with aluminum and fitted with oil stoves. In the sleeping cabin the berths are divided from one another by heavy curtains. During the daytime the cabels can be folded away and the curtains drawn back to allow air to enter, the space where travellers may take in wicker armchairs and take their meals from seaside tables.
construction started on the G. F. A. A. P. sometime after her designs were completed three years ago by Admiral experts. Originally the giant craft was named R36—but when her final specifications were changed from military to civil equipment, her name was changed.
Today the big arribal represents a new departure in rigid type of construction. Her dimensions and constructional features are as follows. Length, 672 feet, (longer than the R34 by 30 feet); maximum diameter.
78 ft. 9 in.; cubic capacity, 2,100,000
feet of hydrogen gas; nominal lift,
63.8 tons; maximum speed, 65 miles
an hour; normal cruising speed, 50
miles per hour.
Under ordinary circumstances the craft will carry a crew of 24 men and four officers. Still wireless equipment is required, and cars are in telephonic communication with the control car. It is possible to walk from one part of the ship to another.
Aeronautic experts are pointing out the airship has almost wholly ellipsoid the airplane in the field of passenger traffic.
Hereford it has been impossible to start extensive experiments in airship passenger enterprises because of the colossal cost of the big dirigibles as compared to the relatively small outlay required for constructing a aeroplane, and because there are freedom from vibration, no noise, no smell of gasoline and the fact that passengers can eat, read, talk, write, smoke or sleep in peace on board.

Mr. Snake Sheds His Old Coat. Takes Whiff of Chloroform And Enjoys Pleasant Dreams
The canning season is arriving. The force at the Museum are already preparing for the future. How does a pie选 pickled Texas rattlesnake sound!
Down in the taxidermy shop of the Dyche Museum, one by one the fierce lous snakes with their quivering tongues and hollow rattles are losing their power. The winter coats to replace them with shining new spring ones. The moral to this is, of course, "Be economica and wear your old coat." But how should a snake know that, even when an inch enough is covered clothes? To be sure, he censure him, in all our vanity of style and color.
The process by which Mr. Snake is prepared for his last sleep is quite interesting. As soon as his shabby cock is ready to be diseased, it beaten down to its point, where which cue Mr. Snake himself and crawls forth in all his shiny egotism. Then friend Man appears at
the door of Mr. Snake's abode with an evil-looking stick has adjusted an able noise at the end. Before he realizes what has happened, Mr. Snake feels a wise grip about his neck—but that brings up the old quotation of where is a snake's neck, so we'll cancel that statement and say that he feels the grip just below his head.
His 'ext habitat' is in a large container where she fumes of chloroform or formaldehyde. Mr. Snake allows roams of an opium fiend, and he soon forgets all in its cestacy, even as the famed Lotus-eater of the Odyssey.
The hollow voice of deathkeeps him after a few hours while he still remains in oblivion, and if he no need heat at once, he has no other choice, when, a little later, a hypodermic needle fits his system with formaldehyde. He is next seen in a fashion of new spring styles in a glass jar o formaldehyde in the show rooms of the Museum.

The jocular old party was about to board a tramcar on a pouring wet day. "Ah, conductor," he inquired, "is this Noah's Ark of your full!"
"No, sir," the conductor retorted,
"there's room for one more donkey.
Jump on."
