KANSAS WINS LAST FOR GOOD MEASURE
Jayhawk Decorates Tiger with 31 Long Scratches While Losing 18 Feathers
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 27, 1914.
ROOKIES DO A FANCY STEP
Between Halves K. N, G.'s Drill Under Bennett's Leadership, Sproull's Men Deliver The Encore
By a score of 31 to 18 the Kansas basketball five defeated the Missouri Tigers in the Robinson gymnasium last night, taking the last of a two-game series and making four victories over Fields' athletic team.
The game was closer than that of the night before, and harder fought. Missouri was playing steadier ball, but at the same time, the Jayhawkers did not appear to be extending themselves to the limit, and could have added more points to their total, had they been needed.
Kansas started with a rush, Greenlee scoring three field goals in the first minute of play. The lead given the Kansas team by Greenlee's early scores stayed with them throughout the rame.
Missouri, on the whole, looked better than on Wednesday night. The forwards showed more fight, while the guards held the Kansas men down better than they had before. Palfreyman, acting captain, again played the whole game for the visitors, fighting hard to win. He and the team perfectly, and letting no athletes loaf. The "sweet singer of Columbia," showed form unequalled by any foreign athlete on the home court this season.
The Jayhawkers played their usual steady, consistent game. Passing perfectly, and showing its floor work to the best advantage, the Kansas five outclassed its opponents in all the finer points of the game, and left no doubts in the minds of the spectators as to its superiority as a team.
E. C. Quigley worked the game as referee, assisted by Lamar Hoover, umpire, and worked it to perfection. More caprese skills, but not not being the home court this season.
Between halves Emmett Bennett led his corps of national guards through a series of pretty marching drills. Captain Sproull and the Jayhawker team met for the second half, mitten on the "souls" to perfection.
Captain Sproull, playing his last game on the home court this year had the "old pep" in every respect. Making nine hits, he gave the grave the grandstand and a pretty exhibition of his skill in that line of the game.

PROFESSOR TODD TELLS
ABOUT MOURIRE RIVER
J. E. Todd, assistant professor of geology and mineralogy in the University of Kansas, has the leading article in the latest issue of Science. The subject of the paper is the Fleissian History of the Missouri River."
After an interesting survey and an exhaustive treatment of the subject, Professor Todd concludes with the statement that "it may gratify our national pride a little to see how cleverly nature, not long ago, changed so much of the drainage which has been carried in by plains into the British dominions, so that it was permanently 'diverted into our borders.'"
From the sketch by Professor Todd can be seen how nature has wrought the course and character of the great stream.
Kappa Sigma will hold initiation for new members Saturday night.
UNION WILL OPEN TUESDAY
The student union will probably be opened Tuesday.
Work will begin tomorrow when the furniture comes, under the direction of I. C. Gregory, who will have charge of the building. The work of arranging the furniture and fixing up the house for occupation will take until Tuesday. Then those who have signed up for membership will pay their fees at the house and become members of a real Student Union.
A barber shop may be included in the house. A barber has applied to chairman Duke Kennedy, of the union committee, for permission to open a shop in the house but no such action has been taken on the application yet.
Several students want rooms in the house but only a few, if any, of these students want them.
Mr. Gregory, who will take care of the house lives at 1321 Tennessee and will be in the house all the time that students are there. He was for public school teacher, and, until recently, was in the insurance business.
CHEMISTS HOLD OUT TODAY ON MT. OREAD
Engineers Celebrate With Talks to Which all are Invited
Prof. W. A. Whitaker and his chemical engineers are busy today. This is Chemical Engineers' Day and they have it all to themselves. However, they are not at all selfish. Large signs were stationed at the entrances to the campus this morning announcing practical talks by practical men, and inviting all students to attend the lectures.
The first session opened this morning at ten o'clock in the Chemistry lecture room, with E. J. Baldwin, president of the Chemical Engineering Society presiding. Opening remarks were made by Dean P. F. Engling and Dr. School of Engineering and by Prof. W. A. Whitaker for the department of chemistry. Other talks were made by prominent chemists.
The afternoon session opened at 2:30 with an explanation of the "Railroad Test Department," by H. S. Harriann of the U. P. Railroad. Following this was a number of talks by W. J. Reese, Kansas City, Kan.; R. A. Henley, Lawrence. E. L. Tague, Topeka, and R. W. Smith, Chief Chemist of the U. S. Laboratories, Kansas City, Kan.
The members of the Chemical Engineering Society, professors and guests will meet at the Fldridge toilets on Monday. The Chemical Engineers' Day at the University of Kansas, but it will be repeated next year.
SEISMOGRAPH RECORDS
TRACES OF EARTHQUAKF
An earthquake was registered by the seismograph in the basement of Fraser Hall Wednesday night. The tremor began at 11:18 and lasted uninterrupted until Prof. F. E. Kuster, who took the readings said that the disturbance was probably located in the lower St. Lawrence region, a distance of 1700 to 1,800 miles from here. As near as he could estimate, this would be just off the coast, where she slept and was not registered by instruments in the east at all.
H. C. Hansen, chairman of the
U. University branch of the American
Institute of Electrical Engineers,
has announced the following appointments to committees for Engineers'
C. B. Sykes; C. M. Bocker, C. E. Nottingham;
strom L. M. Bocker, C. E. Nottingham;
baseball, F. J. Lynch, C. B. Sykes; parade. C. V. Clower, C. B. Sykes, L. N. Weibel; stunts, J. R. Smith; banquet, A. J. Fecht, S. R. Thomas, A. S. Wickstrum, G. A. Whitney, E. R. Sanders, P. Smith.
Professor Kester is trying to have the instrument removed from Fraser Hall to the Physics Building where it will be possible to watch it constantly. In its present location, the instrument was used for a day and its record examined. In its new location it would be constantly watched.

APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE
ATTENDS ARTS CONCERT
It was a very appreciative audience that last night attended the Roscoe Kimball and Charlotte Kert concert given as the second number of the winter concert by the School of Fine Arts.
Every number of the program called for an encore. "The Pirate Song" rendered by Mr. Kimball probably called forth the most applause. Other numbers well received were "Hopelessly Loving," sung by Miss Ikert; and "Aria from La Jolie Fille de Perth." sung by Mr. Kimball.
STUDENTS BUY SEVENTEEN
Seventeen dollars worth of taffy is some amount of stickiness but nevertheless the sweet-toothed students invested to that amount at the candy sale held by the Home Economics club this morning. Even the savage kids have a duales to be sweetened and they patronized the sale liberally.
DOLLARS WORTH OF CANDY
At the meeting of the Civil Engineering Society held in Marvin Hall last evening, Mr. J. M. Meade gave a talk on "Chances to Succeed in the Railway Business." Mr. Meade is the Santa Fe railroad.
The proceeds will be used to pay for the equipment and to meet other general expenses.
Foster to Return Monday
Registrar reg. O. O. Foster will return from the meeting of the Intercollegiate Registrars Association at Richmond, Va., Monday. Aside from the news of his election as president of the association, his assistants have heard nothing from him.

VETERAN DEFENDS OUR WAR PENSIONS
Col. H. L. Moore in Chapel Addresses Plea for Present System
"Once a year the old soldiers march to the cemetery on Decoration Day. We say they go to decorate the graves. Their business in the city is not to decorate their graves but to make them. This work was done without compensation."
Colonel Moore reviewed an article in one of the periodicals dated a little over a year ago in which the pension system was attacked and was characterized as a needful expenditure. "I have never received a pension," he said, "for I have no disabling qualification. But when any one speaks of the veterans as undeserving and calls them 'bounty jumpers and coffee coolers' then I feel impelled to say something."
This was the argument Col. H. L. Moore presented in chapel this morning as to why pensions for the civil war veterans should not be discontinued. "Where we consider," Moore colonsed that only civilian in the North but had a vacant seat in the dining room, and how in every town of the country there were bereaved ones, we will realize more than ever the meaning of the words of Lincoln in his second inaugural, duties of the government to be 'to care for' those who has borne the battle for his widow and orphans."
K. U. DEBATING SOCIETY
ELECTS NEW OFFICERS
Officers for the third quarter were elected by the K. U. Debating Society later.

FACULTY MAY CHANGE COLLEGE GROUP PLAN
Committee Meets [Tonight-
Wants Student Opinions
on the Problem
MAY ALTER MAJORING TOO
Subcommittee Preparing Report for Committee Representing All Departments of the College
A committee composed of five members of the College faculty will meet tonight and discuss the group system. They will prepare a report for a committee of twenty-three, representing every department in the College, and suggest possible alterations that will do away with the criticisms of the present scheme of grouping. It is also possible that this committee will recommend certain changes in the majoring plan.
The members of the committee have expressed a desire to hear student opinion on the group problem. If you have any ideas on the subject the Kansan will be glad to present them in proper form. There have been plenty of kicks on the subject—here's the chance for a little constructive work on the part of the students.
The committee of twenty-three, met Tuesday afternoon in the office of Dean Templin and after discussing the group question appointing a new committee five to report on possible changes or formulate a new arrangement.
The concensus of opinion seemed to be that the group system was of accidental origin and that the University had developed so that a possible change might better conditions It was conceived that it was too late for any changes to take effect but if alterations are made they will go into effect next fall.
The main criticisms of the group system by the faculty were that the advisors are nothing more than clerical officials, that the present majoring system is defective and that certain "grounds" are too large.
The subcommittee consists of Dean Ellin Templin, and Professors A. T. Walker, H. A. Millis, J. N. Van der Vries, and H. C. Allen.
"PINAFORE" TO TAKE PLACE OF MAY FETE
Famous Opera Will be Presented by University Women
Women
"Give three cheers and one cheer more
For the hardy captain of the Pin-
afore."
At the meeting of the council of the W. S. G. A. yesterday it was decided that this year's Kirmiss would feature a production of "Pinafore," an opera by Gilbert and Sullivan, to be given May 9.
The play will take the place of the annual May Day celebration, given alternately each year by the W. S. G. A. and the Y. W. C. A. The performance will be an open air production in Marvin Grove.
Training of the dances for the chorus work has already begun under the direction of Dr. Margaret Johnson in the gymnasium classes, and efforts are being made to obtain a director for the play.
JUNIOR FARCE COMMITTEE
DISCUSS "MISS DYNAMITE"
The junior farce, "Miss Dynamite," true to its name exploded yesterday. Some of the members after reading the play though it best to drop it and select another one, hence the explosion. It is not known whether the committee thought it was too dangerous a thing to "play with" or whether they thought they could find something more desirable.
There will be another tryout to select the cast as soon as the people who have the matter in charge decide on the new play.
Grad Club to Meet Tonight
The Graduate Club will meet tonight at 7:30 in Haworth Hall to hear a lecture by Prof. F. H. Hodder on "The Recent Newspaper Caricatures." The lecture will be illustrated, and Professor Hodder has a number of rare slides. A reception for new members will be held.
