Haddock finished with 24 points while Shen of Dartmouth placed second with 19 points. W. A. Bartels, a university of Pennsylvania freshman, won first with 15 points. The next two players placed the even event, first place counting one, second place counting two points, and so on.

The War
Here and Over There
The Germans have been unable to dent the Allied line on the western Front since the capture of Kemmel Hill on Friday. Intense artillery fighting still continues but the Germans do not appear to be prepared to meet the French forces, so their large losses in men killed, wounded or made prisoners.
May 1 is to be Thrift Stamp Day throughout the United States. On that day every store, shop, booth, and individual selling goods of any character at retail is expected to urge customers to accept Thrift stamps as part of his or her change on every purchase.
Holland has agreed to reopen the Limbim railway but it is firm in its warning to Germany regarding the nature and extent of material transported over the road and by waterway.
Subscriptions to the third Liberty loan now total $1,700,044,850, according to the latest reports of the Treasury Department
Joseph Reiter, a wholesale sugar dealer at Brooklyn, N. Y., who was found guilty of charging $17 per 100 pounds of sugar, will be allowed to continue his business upon donating $1,842 to the American Red Cross.
Our 14-inch guns weigh nearly 95 tons and are more than 58 feet long, costing $118,000 apiece.
School children in Germany get reward stamps for collecting old papers, scraps of metal, rags, and even hair, all of which are used.
During the first year of our war nearly 60,000 letters, many including detailed plans, were received from the inventive genius of the country by the Naval Consulting Board concerning methods of combating the German U-boats.
Dillon of Capper Publication Tells Journalists of News- paper Game;
Charles Dillon, editor of the Capper Farm Publications, in a talk to the women of Theta Sigma Phi, said: "There is a greater chance for women in the field of journalism than ever before. The women of Kansas are in practically all field of work today and they have already proved that they are as capable as men in all ways."
Women are more dependable than men as reporters, he said, because they do not loaf on the corner or go off to a show when sent out on an assignment, and it is the woman's con science that we now need in the newspaper field. However, Mr. Dillon will never advise a girl to become a reporter and particularly a society reporter because "there is nothing in the world that becomes harder unless it is a church trustee."
Mr. Dillon said that the day of long novels is past. The enormous number of short stories of the war are taking their place, and this generation will be dead and forgotten before the editors cease to print accounts of this great struggle.
The April number of Kansas Municipalities came from the Journalism Press today. In this number are articles on 'Saving Lives Through Efficient Organized City Health Departments,' by John J. Sippy; epidemiologist of the Kansas State Board of Health, and 'Municipal Home Rule in Nebraska,' by C. A. Sorensen, secretary of the League of Nebraska Municipalities.

Announcement Made at Huge Jayhawker Beauty Ball Friday—Farce Scores Hits
The official standing of the winners of the Jayhawker "Kansas Girls Contest" was announced at the Beauty Ball held in honor of the winners in Robinson Gymnasium Friday night.

The standing of the other six girls who were given places in the contest are Elizabeth Steen, fifth; Eileen VanZandt, sixth; Josephine Huoni, seventh; Louise Lorght, eighth; and Jessy Wattu, ninth.
Confetti and yards of paper ribbon were used in the carnival dance which was the feature of the close of the party at 2 o'clock.
The party was probably the most unique and clever one given at K. U. this year. At each place at the tables where the midnight feast was given was a small wooden hammer and a carnival hat. Scattered through the crowd were small rubber ballons. During the supper the rhythmic pounding of the hammers created the noise suggestive of a great carnival. The chorus and special dances gave while the 12 o'clock supper was being held. A hitch was without a hitch. The Beauty Contest winners were in the chorus. It was said by many to be the choice farce ever put on at the University. Donald Davis, manager, outid his soph hop efforts of two years ago.

Casualties Collapse After Shrapnel Bal
The first official casualty list of the Jayhawker Beauty Ball Friday night in Robinson Gymnasium shows 10 crushed ankles, 2 cracked skulls (as a result of an accident), 18 bruised arms, 20 smashed toes, 20 ruined dispositions, and 40 sore eyes. In explanation the manager's office said that nearly all sore eyes were the result of trauma from injuries. Entanglements with arms of opposing couples were few and minor injuries resulted.
One lieutenant kept after his man for one entire dance only to run into him when the dance stopped. The long list of smashed toes is accounted for by the fact that the close order of attack used by the enemy naturally resulted in some of our forces being walked on. One captain accounted for many of these assaults and capped unscathed herself. Crushable ankles generally were due to the inexperience of some recruits in their first engagement.
The next casualty list will not be issued for another week, because of orders from secretary that the general commanding the expeditionary forces shall give out all such information. General Gambol will be responsible for the issuance of the next list.
Plain Tales From The Hill
SOCIAL NOTE
By request the sky lights were turned on at the Beauty Ball Friday night. It was part of a program to conserve the colored lights. If you don't believe this, Mrs. Brown might tell you.
Theta Sigma Phi came, wrote a hyphenated top deck in a head, and blew. Which busted the Kansan's hope of getting through the semester without busting that headline rule on hyphens.
THERE'S STILL HOPE!
William Allen White, who talked to the honorary women journalists here last week, was rotten in English when he was at the University of Kansas. At least his teacher said so. General Funston wrote the best theme of the year, Mr. White's teachermen's memoir, the great army man, while Mr. White made a great author and newspaper man.
THEIRS' STILL HOPE!
Here, consolation for the poor
English answer is:
Lost, somewhere between sunrise and sunset. 6 inches.
Finder please return to Ralph Rodkey, K. U. quarter mile.
Rodkey has been informed that he loses six inches on each stride in his 440-yard dash. He has been trying to pick up the extra six inches, because he realizes that the longer he loses the distance, he take to run his distance. Which, incidentally, will please Coach W. O. Hamilton.
Mrs. Helen Ross Lantz, grand president of the Theta Sigma Phi which held its convention here last week, likes the K. U. journalism spirit, and she told a Kansan reporter so.
"I appreciated the kindly spirit which exists between the women and the men in your daily office here. It is so much better to understand each other and be friendly, than to be constantly nicking petty quarrels. At the same time this is a constant quarrelling. I think the other way is much better."
IN 1920?
Are those boys botany students
That I see everywhere
Working upon the campus;
What are they doing it?
What are they doing there?
Law Student——
Botany students? Well, perhaps,
But first of all they're freshies
Who've failed to wear their caps.
And I'm an overseer
Who makes them pay their fines.
Just now they're set to digging
Out of the dandelions.
There will be a meeting of the Y. W. C. A. Tuesday at 3 o'clock at Myers Hall. A model Eight Weeks Club meeting will be conducted. Social hour will be held at the close of the meeting instead of at the beginning.
