Emory Rinker Of Wakeeny Is Wearing His Sky-Piece Today
A large number of sophomore held a jollification at chapel time this morning with some freshmen as their guests, and as a result certain fledgling on the hill aren't sitting down now so often as they used to. The sophs, and especially the sophs, are green with a splash past Green hall at every time of day wearing magnificent and vari-colored head-pieces.
The punishers awaited their victims as they (the victims) emerged from Fraser after chapel and hidden behind the fire-escapes grabbed the freshies. Those who had caps were released, and those who had caps, but not the right ones, were released—a while.
Emory Rinker, a freshman engineer from Wakeeen, Kas, was the first one caught, and since he took his punishment in the proper spirit the whole bunch got off more easily 't than they would have otherwise.
TO WORK WITH WISCONSIN BOTANY HEAD
O. T. Wilson, a graduate student now assistant instructor in the department of botany, has accepted an assistantship with Dr. C. E. Allen, head of the department of botany at the University of Wisconsin, where he will complete his work pr a Ph.D. degree.
While Mr. Wilson would not state his salary, it is understood that the position is a good one.
The meeting of the Spanish club, which was postponed yesterday will be held next Tuesday.
A limited number of the suppressed political edition of yesterday's Daily Kanman may be had at the office for 25 cents apiece.
KANSAS WINS SECOND FROM AGGIES 6 TO 5
Farmers Staged A Batting Rally In Ninth That Almost Won
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 9, 1913.
In an exciting ninth-inning slug-fest Kasas again beat the Aggies at Manhattan yesterday afternoon 6-5.
Kansas lead until the ninth by making 2 in the fourth and seventh each to the Aggies in the fourth. Then after Kansas had apparently clinched the game with 2 more in the ninth, the Aggies put on a terrific batting rally and scored 3 runs, driving Buzick from the mound.
In this round Evans walked. Then Cletland sigped and Agnew hit for 3 bates. Bishop relieved Buzick and fanned Dresser. Calmell then singled, scoring Agnew. Briny followed with another hit, but Forssler followed. With runs across and a hit needed to tie the score, Knaus popped up.
According to Coach Frank's telegram, Kansas gave 15 hits, Aggies 11. Sommers starred at the bat with 2 triples and a single in 4 chances. Coolidge also played sensationally. For the Aggies McCallum gave 3 hits, one of a kind. Both pitchers were nounded heavily.
The score:  R. H. E.
Aggies. . . . .000 200 003 - 51 13
K. U. . . . .000 200 202 - 61 15
Batteries: Pololl and Forsberg;
Busick, Bishop and Sommers. Umpire,
Moore.
These two victories strengthen K. U.J.'s championship chances. Today and tomorrow the teams plays at Lincoln.
PROFESSOR CARRUTH
LECTURES ON EUGENICS
Improvement of Human Race Discussed In Chapel Yesterday Afternoon
A lecture on eugenics, the science which has as its aim the improvement of the human race, was delivered in Fraser chapel yesterday afternoon at 4:30 by Professor Carruth. The lecturer was made possible by a grant from Huntington Wilson, wife of the former assistant secretary of state.
Sir Francis Galton, "the father of eugenics," defines it as "the study of the agencies under social control which may improve or impair the physical characteristics of future generations." It has as its aim the production of a more healthy, more vigorous, more intelligent humanity.
"How strange it is," said Professor Carruth, "that we have given to the man crop so much less attention than to the corn crop, the hog crop, and the fruit crop. Not more children are needed, but more children from the best stock. The world is increasing more greatly from the poor elements than from the good elements. The undesirable faction of the world's population is contributing far more than its share and the desirable faction less than its share to future generations."
Twelve members of the Oresa Golf club go to Topeka tomorrow afternoon to meet the Topeka Country Club team in a match game tournament. Capt. M. W. Sterling, O. A. H. Johnston, Cooper, Kinear, Crawford, Davis, Blackmar, Hurd, and Patterson compose the team.
PLAY TOPEKA COUNTRY CLUB
A new edition of local score cards has been run off, showing in complete detail the revised course, now 2555 yards long, an increase of 50 yards. Members can get cards from Secretary Joseylm.

Oread Golfers, 12 of 'Em, Meet Capital City Team Saturday
TRACK TEAM OFF FOR LINCOLN TODAY
'Confidence, But Not Ove confidence" Will Win,
Says "Pat"
The track team left for Nebraska early this morning, feeling confident but not over-confident, of victory.
The team held long hard work-outs Wednesday and Thursday, and the general conclusion of both coaches after the athletes had been put through their best paces was that Kansas, according to all laws of dope, should take first place in the meet Saturday. Of course the unexpected may happen, and Nebraska may be saving the day by preparing to drive on the Jayhawkers at the last moment, but unless the Cornhuskers show a lot better form tomorrow than they have shown heretofore this season, Kansas should win.
The team leaves Kansas City this morning on the 9:30 rattler over the Missouri Pacific. Most of today and Saturday will be spent in resting up.
After consultation between Coaches Mosse and Hamilton, it was decided to take Ammons to Lincoln today, instead of Amos Johnson. This move came at the last moment, for although the men are practically equal in form, and the experience would have done Johnson, a new athlete, the most good, he was needed also to represent Kansas at the Kansas State Intercollegiate tennis tournament, played off today and tomorrow at Winfield, and he took that trip instead. He will contest with the team in he remainder of the home meets, however.
Captain Patterson, just before leaving this morning, said, "While we expect to take the meet with Nebraska tomorrow, I doubt if it will be such a runaway affair as we first thought, and as the Kansas said earlier in the week. While no bear stories have been coming from the Cornhusker camp, nevertheless we believe that these men, after winning the football and the basket-ball games, will fight their heads off to make it a clean sweep over Kansas in athletics this year, and for that reason we know that we will have to fight and fight hard to take the points which in any other circumstances, we should take easily.
"However, I hope, and really believe that no matter how hard the Cornhuskers fight, Kansas will take the meet tomorrow. Our motto is 'Confidence, but not over-confidence.'"

MILL THERE BE A SENIOR PLAY IN 1913?
Constance McCammon, Dir-
t
ector, Says "No"
Unless—
Two more loyal senior men are needed for the senior play.
"The senior play committee has been having a great deal of trouble in selecting a play this year," says Constance McCammon, director. "The trouble is due to a lack of interest on the part of the senior class, which is 'explainable' only as a lack of 'pep.' The senior play has become a tradition at the University of Kansas, yet the class of 1913 has made little or no effort to put on a creditable performance.
"It is probable that if the class does not show a great deal more interest in the play 'At Yale', which has been selected by the play committee, this year's" senior class will work with the faculty assistant who did not give a senior play. The play committee is getting tired of working alone.
"Some objection has arisen to the title of the play for 1913, 'At Yale.' This play is a professional play, on a par with the 'College Widow' and others of a similar class. There is no reason why the senior class should not consider this play on a par with 'Brown of Harvard.' The plot is bright and snappy and deserves the serious effort of every one."

WOULD DEBATE WITH CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS
Delta Sigma Rho Initiates Adopts Resolutions Lays Plans
Serious consideration of debates next year with Leland Stanford University or the University of California, together with plans for next year's debates with Colorado, Oklahoma, and Missouri, were taken up last night when Delta Sigma Rho, honorary debating society, held its annual initiation and banquet last night at the Hotel Eldridge.
The following members of this year's intercollegiate debating teams were initiated: Frank Carson, E. L. Bennett, John Johnson, Asher Hobson, Arvid Frank, and Homer Hoyt. After the initiation ritual, a six course dinner was served. Worth Rodebush presided as toastmaster and speeches were made by Ralph Spotts, *L.*, Rollin Perkins, *T.*, Frank Hobson, Minor, Wilber, and Prof. G. A. Gesell.
Delta Sigma Rho has chapters in Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and most of the larger schools of the west and publishes a magazine. The Kansas chapter has been established since 1911.
Whereas the University of Kansas has completed an unusually successful year in debates, and whereas never before has the interest in local and intercollegiate debating been so great in the student body, Be it resolved by the society of Sigma Sigma Rho;
Offers for next year were elected as follows: President, Kit Carson; vice-president, Johnson; secretary-treasurer, Frank; publicity, Bennett; the following resolutions were passed by the society;
That we encourage this debating interest among the students, and urge upon them the importance and benefit of work in the various societies and university debates; and
That we heartily endorse the work of Prof. G. Aessel as coach of the debating teams, and thoroughly approve the methods of systematic organization which he has encouraged in the preparation for these debates.
TENNIS TEAM OFF TO WINFIELD MEET
Johnson And Smith Represent Kansas Intercollegiate Contests
The Varsity tennis team left late yesterday afternoon for Winfield, where they will contest in the Kansas State Intercollegiate tennis tournament to be held there today and tomorrow. Johnson and J. R. Smith made the trip for Kansas and will contest in the singles and the doubles. They will return to Lawrence Sunday afternoon.
Among the colleges which Johnson and Smith will have to fight in order to bring the laurels home to K. U. are Cooper College, the Friends, the College of Emporia, the Emporia State Normal, Baker, Ottawa, Southwestern, Washburn, and Lindsborg. No coach accompanied the players.
It was thought until the last mini-ute that Howard Richardson, last year's star, and one of the best men out this season, would also take the trip, but it was decided to save him for some of the later home meets.
Soph Fined For Speeding
The down town crusade against automobile speeding brought grief to Ben A. Sweeny, a sophomore engineer, last night. Sweeny was charged with exceeding ten miles an hour on Massachusetts street and at his trial in police court this morning was given a total fine of $15.50.

WILL BUY PICTURE OF "TOMMY" JOHNSON
K. U. Students To Purchase Great Athlete's Portrait By Subscription
COUNCIL ADOPTS RESOLUTION
Committees Appointed to Collect—A Five-Cent Assessment Will Do It—Cost $85
Whereas, Thomas Warwick Johnson of the class of 1911 was a thoroughly representative student of the University of Kansas, doing more for his school in athletic activities than any other student has previously done, and
Be it resolved that the students of the University of Kansas purchase by popular subscription the full size photograph of Thomas Warwick Johnson, now in the possession of Con Squires; that said photograph be hung in a conspicuous place in the halls of the University, and that his name in this manner be honored and preserved as that of the greatest athlete ever enrolled at the University of Kansas.
Whereas, he was called from this life while in the midst of his school activities and before the University as a whole or the students individually could show their appreciation for his admirable work, therefore
The Men's Student Council, at a meeting held yesterday, adopted the above resolution in regard to the large picture of "Tommy" Johnson which was exhibited in the Athletic Booth at the Exposition.
The Council named Hal Rambo, as chairman of the committee to raise the
Con Squires, its present owner,
wants $85 for the picture. It has
be figured that by an assessment of
five cents upon every student in
the University this amount can be
quickly raised.
Law School: Seniors: E. I. Irwin; uniors, Frank McClellan, Charles F. Alexander.
To collect this amount the following committees have been appointed to represent the various schools and different classes:
Engineering School: Seniors, Ed. Van Houten; juniors, Sam Fairchild; Sophis, Rusty Russell; freshmen, Clyde Van Derlip.
College: Seniors, Milton Minor,
less Bozell; juniors. Paul Ross, Ruth
Iarger; sophs, Victor Householder,
ynges Engle; freshmen, Landon
Aird, Eben Halloren, Helen Hershberger
Fine Arts: Juniors, Lydia E. Cook; freshmen, Hazel Williams. Pharmacy, Willard Lewellen. Medicine, Rocco Ward. Collections will begin the first of next week, and a meeting of the committee will be called Thursday or Friday.

Two Freshies Start Today
In Canoe On Long
Voyage
This afternoon at 1:00 o'clock two University students, Clyde Van Derlip and Roy Stevens, started upon a trip to Kansas City from Lawrence in an 18-foot canoe.
The boys expect to arrive at their destination sometime tomorrow afternoon, if everything goes nicely. Both are freshmen, Van Dervil in the Engineering School, and Stevens in a laboratory work for the School of Medicine.
"We expect to make Bonner Springs our camping place this evening," said Van Der Lap, the owner of the canoe as they were leaving at the river bank this afternoon. "Ten hours of active paddling should see us somewhere near Kansas City," said Stevens.
Last summer Van Derlip made a 3-weeks' trip on the Osage River with the same boat used to make the trip to Kansas City today.
