WON THE CUP
CAPTAIN DRISCOLL SAVED THE TROPHY.
The K. U. track team defeated Missouri in the relay race at the K. C.A. C. Handicap meet last night, and won the silver loving cup which was the trophy of that event. The team scored six points in the general contest which the K.C.A.C.won easily. Manager Lansdon is well pleased over the record of the boys last night. The team won the relay race, first in the pole vault and third in the 440. The Missouri men won the mile race

and third in the half mile. In the regular events where all the clubs were allowed to enter contestants Kansas won 6 points Missouri 6 and Nebraska $13\frac{1}{2}$.
The greatest surprise of the evening and the event over which the most enthusiasm was shown was the relay between our team and the Tiger team. Tidd of Missouri got the pole and started the race with Commons gaining about 15 yards in the two laps. Dennis lost about 10 more for Kansas and Wallace held his man about even. With 25 yards in the lead Ellis of Missouri started for the last two laps against Captain Dris-

K. U. VS. STATE NORMAL.
This May Be Last Game of the Season.
NUMBER 44
The game with Washburn Wednesday night put the University team in good form, after the wear and tear of their long trip. The game tonight will show them in their old time form—the form that beat Nebraska, with the team work that held the admiration of all the eastern teams who saw them play. Since the game with Baker is somewhat in doubt, this will probably be the last game of the season, and the students should show their appreciation of our first champion basket ball team by liberal patronage.
Tonight the University five will meet the men from the State Normal in the gymnasium in the second intercollegiate basket ball game played on the home court. Since their defeat at the hands of our boys early in the season the Normalites have been strengthened by changes in the team, and unless all signs fail the game tonight will be a fast and exciting one.

FIVE CENT ENTERTAINMENTS.
An Assessment of $2.00 Would Make Events Cost Five Cents.
A meeting of class presidents was held yesterday afternoon to discuss the advisibility of a general student assessment. Manager Lansdon says he can furnish 10 foot ball games, 10 basket ball games, 10 base ball games and 4 track meets for $2400 from students. Dean Skilton estimated that $300 would support the musical organizations and assure 6 concerts each year. An assessment of two dollars would raise $3000 and this would leave $300 for debating.
The same committee will meet Manager Lansdon, Dean Skilton, and Dr. Carruth on Monday to discuss the question further.
Sigma Xi Elects.
The faculty members of the Sigma Xi honorary fraternity of the University of Kansas met last night and elected six new members to the scientific order. To become a member of the Sigma Xi fraternity a student must do some scientific research work and reach a certain degree of scholarship in his studies. The newly elected members were: Professor F. W. Bushong as a faculty member; Richard E. Scammon, graduate member and special student in zoology; senior members, Ira J. Adams, electrical engineer; Frank F. Rupert, research work in chemistry; Mabel Davis, special work in mathematics; U. G. Mitchell, special work in mathematics.
KANSAS WINS
EASILY DEFEATED WASHBURN WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
Washburn Could Not Locate Baskets----Hope Washburn's Star----A Good Turnout
=A Good Turnout.
Kansas outplayed Washburn Wednesday evening in the gymnasium and won by the one sided score of 39 to 12. This was the first opportunity afforded to the public of seeing the Missouri Valley champions play, and the seating capacity of the "bleachers" was taxed to the limit. No doubt can exist but that Kansas has a wonderful team. Their team work was fine and the ball was passed with unusual accuracy. Allen was the star as usual but Siler was a close second, getting six field goals.
Washburn has evidently been playing upon a floor with higher ceiling, as many of their long throws coincided with the ceiling. They passed the ball well enough but their goal throwing was very poor. Millice, the big football player, must have imagined a football game was in progress, and made numberless fouls. He almost precipitated a fight, when he floored "Fog" Allen in a rather crude fashion during the first half. Hope is Washburn's best man. While not a spectacular player he made most of Washburns points.
