ANOTHER KNOT FOR THE TIGER
KANSAS TOOK THE SECOND GAME 27 TO 14.
Both Teams Played Rough, Fast Basket Ball- Two Men Disqualified.
"Oh, gracious! They are murdering my game!" quoth Dr. Jas Naismith, in sorrowful tones, as Tiger and Jayhawk roughed it back and forth over the basket ball court Saturday night: and truly, the University authority on "The Principles of Sports and Games" had reason to be sad.The game, however, was a satisfactory affair. It was only another step in the terrible revenge that is due to fall on the head of old Missou. The score was 27 to 14 with Johnson's bunch on the long end.
In the first period the locals began with a rush. They pushed Tiger players this way and that in the meantime managed to collect 16 points. The men of Lowman did just as much pushing, but were able to negotiate but one basket and garner a free throw.
The second spasm was a little better than the first. The visitors scored as many points as the home boys and had lots of fun besides; for Coach Lowman says there is no fun in the game unless it is rough. Accepting his definition, it must be admitted that the home lads had a little quiet amusement themselves. In fact the affair was so enjoyable to all concerned that the Kansas captain and Parker of the Tigers were excused from the contest as each had used his allotted share of fouls and others wanted a chance.
Parker was the star of the performance, making thirteen of Missouri's points. He was generous, however, and allowed Cohen to gather in the fourteenth. For the locals Captain Johnson and Heizer were the stars of the first magnitude.
The score :

RELIGION OF SOCRATES.
Prof. Shorey Makes Interesting Comparisons in Vespers Talk.
"The Religion of Socrates" was the title which Professor Paul Shorey of the University of Chicago applied to his talk at the vesper services Sunday afternoon in regard to the religious views of the ancient Greeks. He said that there was no longer the fierce conflict between radicals which raged a few centuries since in regard to the merit of Socrates' philosophy. Thinkers now recognize the value of his teachings, yet without over-praising them.
Professor Shorey briefly referred to the higher morality of the Hebrew heroes over that of the Greek deities and the protest against the evil in Greek religious life which came from men like Socrates and Plato. He also showed how the personality of Socrates as interpreted by Plato influenced the writings of Romans such as Marcus Aurelius. Professor Shorey stated that at best Greek moral philosophy was but limited compared with the universatility of Christ's truth. The special music was the pleasing anthem "Great and Marvelous are Thy Works," from "The Holy City" by the chorus. The prelude and postude were appreciated by the audience, as

KANSAS TOOK MEET EASILY
BAKER BOYS WEAKER THAN WAS EXPECTED.
Contest Became One Merely Between the 'Varsity Representatives.
The track meet last evening resulted in a complete victory for Kansas. The score was, Kansas, 775-6; Baker, 171-6.
Though no exeptionally fast time was made, the performances in the various events were satisfactory.
NUMBER 56
Baker proved to be a weaker foe than had been anticipated. The score tells the story. The Preachers were simply outclassed by Hamilton's speeders and many of the races became simply a fight between local rivals.
The quarter a speedy event,was captured by Captain Haddoek, after a hard fight with Ream of Baker, who is the state record holder.
The mile was at first a fight between Kansas and Baker, but after good generalship had put the Bakers out of the race Hamilton's men fought it out among themselves.
The greatest event of the evening was the two-mile. Andy Cummins, the holder of the University record, captured the race after a hard fight with Watson, Fisher and Gruber. The only first taken by Baker was in the relay. Hamilton sent in some of his tryouts and they were not fleet enough to turn the trick.
The score follows.
30 yard dash—Haddock first,
Reamer second, Rice third. Time
4. Roberts disqualified
30 yard low hurdles—Hamilton first, Winter second, Parker third. Time 4:1.

READY FOR THE RUSH.
Many Applications for Teaching Jobs Expected.
The committee on recommendations for teachers, of which Prof. W. H. Johnson is secretary, is ready to receive applications from students who wish to teach next fall. This committee has application blanks at the office of Professor Johnson and desires that all applicants fill these out as soon as possible, since inquiries for teachers will soon begin to come in. These blanks are very comprehensive, enabling the applicants for teachers to get a good idea of the future teacher.
Last year there were about 300 applications for teaching positions and of these more than 250 were filled. Professor Johnson thinks that there will be more applications this year as well as more positions to fill.
GLEE CLUB TRIP SUCCESSFUL
SINGERS WERE GREETED WITH LARGE AUDIENCES.
Boys Were Guests at Several Social Events After Concerts.
The Glee club returned last Sunday from the most successful trip that any University musical organization has ever taken. Six cities were visited and a good impression was made by the boys in each place. Every night crowded houses with standing room only met them and the people who had heard former glee clubs pronounced it by far the best ever sent out under University direction.
Abilene was the first city visited by the boys and standing room only remained in the opera house at that place. After the concert a dance was given in honor of the tthe club by former University students now living in and around Abilene.
Salina turned out in great numbers to hear the much heralded K. U. singers, and judging by the press reports from that city, the toys certainly made a "hit."
A crowded house greeted the club at Ellsworth, the next stop and after the concert a dance was given in honor of the club. At Lindsborg, the home of good music in Kansas, the members, according to Prof. Hubach, sang their best concert of the trip. A very favorable impression was made and Lindsborg will always look forward to a return of the glee club.
Before the concert at Emporia a reception was held at the State Normal and immediately after the concert a dance was given by the younger set for the club.
At Alma the last stop on the trip, the high school auditorium was crowded to the limit and most successful concert was given

The club members and Prof. Hbach are loud in their praise of
RED POSTERS TO BLAME
CITY PROHIBITS TACKING POSTERS ON TREES.
Ordinance Will Be Enforced in Future—Sophomores Were Close to Trouble's Door.
In the future the classes of the University will not be permitted to tack advertising cards of any kind on the trees of the city.
This morning J. H. Mitchell, attorney for the city, called upon Mr Edward E. Brown, purchasing agent for the University, and asked for the names of the members of the sophomore class who are responsible for the red posters which appeared so promiscuously on the city trees this morning. Both the president of the class, Albert LeMoine and the chairman of the social committee, like Lambert, were called by Mr. Brown and an explanation for their conduct was demanded.
It developed that the posters were tacked to the trees without knowledge on the part of the sophomores that there is a city ordinance against such practice. On a promise that the sophomores would take down the objectionable "scarlet fever" signs, and that in the future they would post signs of no kind, no action was taken by the city.
The managers of the class were given a good scare, but they promis ise that they will give the best party in Fraternal Aid hall Friday night in spite of their present difficulty in advertising.
The trouble over sign-tacking will refresh the memories of those here last year about the trouble the Masque club and Thespians encountered with the city over plastering the whole down-town district with their advertisements. They, too, got out of their difficulty by taking down their signs and promising to be good in the future.
Held Educational Conference.
Professor W. H. Johnson, the high-school visitor, returned from Topeka this morning where he had been to attend a meeting of the visitors and lecturers of the state educational institutions. This meeting was called by Governor Stubbs for the purpose of making plans for future work. Another meeting will be held in a few weeks.
Debate Tryout Postponed.
The tryout for the Kansas-Missouri pri debate which was to be held tonight has been postponed on account of the lecture of Prof. Lowell, also two members of the committee were unable to be there. The tryout will be held Thursday night at 7:30. Nine contestants have so far entered for the tryout.
Notice.
There will be no meeting of the Good Government club tomorrow evening.
