PLANS FREE-FOR-ALL TENNIS TOURNAMENT
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 8, 1913.
Manager Hamilton Issues Call For Entries In Big Meet: Nobody Barred
WOULD-B CHAMPS INVITED IN
NUMBER 145.
Wants Faculty, Freshies, and Other Dark Horses to Enter—Offers Trophy to Winner.
All students, including freshmen, and graduate students, and all faculty members wishing to enter the free-for-all school tennis tournament, should report in person or send their entries in the singles and doubles to Manager Hamilton's office, on or before Thursday, May 15. A silver loving-cup will be presented to the winner of the singles. All male students in the University and faculty members are eligible—W. O. Hamilton.
Manager Hamilton is backing a free-for-all school tennis tournament, and thinks it should be well-contested and a good thing for University tennis.
"Before this year," said the manager in speaking of the proposed contest yesterday, "tennis hasn't been on a very strong footing at the University, and not much interest was shown in the sport or in the team which represented Kansas. Of course we have always had good tennis teams, and our records are good enough for any University, but on the whole, what work has been done, and what trophies we have won, have been due more to the unfailing perseverance of the contestants and the Kansas representatives themselves, that to any concerted action upon tae part of the student body.
"This year, however, interest in tennis has picked up noticably. One indication of that fact was the demand for the new courts, which we are now building. This tournament is the largest thing in this line, and if it succeeds this year, you might make it an institution at K. U. As the Kansas stated yesterday, we often hear the wall that 'So and So could lick that bunch of dubs who are representing Kansas out there easily, only they weren't eligible.'
"I expect to see Nees, H. Richardson, Johnson, J. R. Smith, Hopper, Teacheren, Cooper, Folks, Rohrer, and all the rest of these tennis sharks out for this elimination contest, and about 200 dark horses.
"Higgins, O'Leary, Sturtevant, Mitchell, Millis, and Walker, of the faculty are good, but they won't bite. The students have some cracks, too, but there's always someone a little better.
"Now this tournament will do away with that bug-a-boo and excuse about 'werent eligible.' No one, except the Chancellor's baby and Daddy Haworth is ineligible for this tournament. For that reason, I don't know how many entries, and make this the biggest of its kind ever held at K. U.
"There will be no entry fee. The entry list closes at 6 o'clock Thurs-
day."
A silver cup with the winner's name, the tournament score, the winning score, and the date of the game which inscribed upon it will be given."
"We want every freshman, ever upper-classman, every person who has ever seen a tennis racket, to come out for this meet, to settle the championship question between students and opponents, to teach tennis and its proper place among K. U.'s sports, and to develop material for next year.
Pharmacists to Tour.

HOBSON THINKS ANNUAL WILL BE CUT DOWN
Predicts Less Pretentious Book Next Year If This Year's Doesn't Sell
"The students must support the annual this year of they cannot expect the same kind of a book to be put out by succeeding classes" as Asher Hobson, manager of the 1913 Jayhawker this morning. "We

have had 1400 books printed and 500
books sold. did they must all be
buried on of the pay, i.e.
sued this year if the necessary financial support is not given.
Manager Hobson refused to express an opinion on the junior plan which was turned down by the Student Council this week, but he insisted that future Jayhawkers will not be so pretentious as the one
R. G. ALLISON Editor 1913 Jayhawker
Just how the publication of next year's annual will be put on a stable basis is still a question. R. G. Allison, manager of the 1913 Jays hawker said this morning:
the plan the juniors adopted did not in any way help the situation. It did not take away the responsibility, and merely required the tenents to pay a dollar more for those cuts than they have had to previously."
The manager and editor of this year's annual have given up the idea of making any salary and are now trying to sell enough Jayhawkers to pay expenses.

MURRAY OFFERS DANCE PLAN TO ST. COUNCIL
Idea Favorably Talked Or But Stored Away Till
Next Year
It was favorably discussed by the council but no definite action was taken. Next year the council will meet the social committees of the various classes, when some decisive action will be taken.
Prof. E. W. Murray, in his capacity as chairman of the student interest committee of the University Council, appeared Tuesday night before the Men's Student Council and presented a plan for holding University dances in the Gym. next year.
The plan offers many advantages. There would be no expense other than the music, and students would be subjected to no more discipline than they are down town, under women College. Curious Murray figures that a saving of $400 could be made on 20 class parties.
Two large teaching plums fell to K. U. students today. Agnes Urlaub, Fine Arts, '09, received the position of teacher of piano and harmony at Anthony high school, and Leora Kuchera, Fine Arts senior, obtained the post of music teacher in the public schools of Sedgwick.
FINE ARTS STUDENTS

Kansas Twirler Makes Two Hits, One Being A Home Run
BISHOP BEATS AGGIES IN FAST GAME 3 TO 0
In a fast, clean-cut game Kansas took the first of a two-game series from the Aggies at Manhattan yesterday 3-0.
According to a telegram from Coach Frank, each team made one error, and Kansas two double plays. Coach Frank also made a sensational catch "in front."
The star of the game was Bishop pitching for Kanass, who made two hits, one a home run in the seventh inning and eight out 8 men. Bailey of the Aggries 9.
Kansas scored 1 in the second without a hit, and after 2 were out in the fifth. Bishop singled. A walk and another single scored him.
The game by innings:
B. H. J.
Agles . . . . 000 00 00 10   8 4
Kangas . . . . 000 10 00 10 3   4
This makes the Kansas championship prospects even better. The same teams play again today, and then Kansas goes to Nebraska for two games.

WORLD'S SECRETARY TELLS
OF Y, W. C. A. WORK
Miss Clarissa Spencer of London,
England spoke before the Y. W. C.
A. yesterday in Myers hall on her
world's secretary of the Y.
W. C. A.
In her talk Miss Spencer spoke of the work of Miss Laura Radford, an old K. U. graduate of the class of '94, who is now secretary of the Y. W. C. A. at Calcutta, India. She also described the work of the association at Singapore and Madras, and worked with the Balken states whose members enlisted in the Red Cross service at the outbreak of the Balken war.
Miss Spencer is on her way to Lake Mohenk, New York. The next convention will be held at Stockholm, Sweden, in 1914.
The work of the Y. W. C. A. with the immigrant girl and the protection afforded her by the secretaries of associations, in going from one country to another was also discussed by Miss Spencer.
WILLSON OR DODD,
WHICH WILL IT BE?
There's An Unusual Situation In Student Council Election Today
FACTION RIVALRY STRONG
Willison is Weakened Because He's a Soph, and Dodd a Hated Engineer
Results:
Law: H. Holloway, 88; W. H.
McClure, 61; Frank Miller, 67
Standing at 2:30
Pharmic: Chinnery 48.
Graduate School: Burke, 21; Bennett, 9.
Malcolmson, 201.
Willson, 135; Dodd, 136
Maloy, 91.
Who will be elected mighty Umpity-Umps, Dodd or Willson? Today's election for Student Council will probably be fought out on the question: is it better to have another Engineer president, after the Engineers have had the job for two straight years, or shall we take our chances on this man, Willson, the political accident of the hill, and a sophomore at that?
Willson is favored because he has had a year's experience on the Council, knows the ropes, and in spite of the self-confessed admission that he was elected last year to the board for four years, for their candidate straight, is by no means a green candidate for president.
Against him, of course, lies first of all the fact that his election to president of the Student Council might tend to lower the dignity (Heaven will protect the working girl) of the office. That the office should be held by a senior, at least, is the general feeling. And it is generally conceded that Willson will lose more votes on that account than on any political entanglements he may be in among the steen-deozen fighting factions in University politics.
Many opposed Dodd first of all because "the Engineers have had it long enough." In addition others like to say, scornfully, as they do of every man who has sense enough to keep out of politics until his junior and senior years. "Well, who is this man Dodd, anyhow? Never heard of him before." And the Dodd booster replies. "Dood is of age!"
Now as to who is backing each candidate: It is generally guessed that the Phi Pi's are back of Dodd, in spite of the conventional campaign statement that he is running Devil wouldn't dare to run on an independent ticket up here, say the wise ones.
Willson is backed by a conglomeration of organizations who will do anything to beat Dodd. Perhaps the main reason why Falchirde withdrew from the body's opposition to beat Dodd and his backing at any cost.
It is worth notice that the rest of the officers on the ticket have no opposition, and that there is little coming. Worshipers of Umpity-Umpies.
In the College somebody is going to be mighty humilated unless two men tie, for 8 men are out for 7 women. In the college going to be the goat is a big guess.
Bennett and Burke will fight it out among the graduate students to succeed "Whispers" Crookham. 3. Students for 2 jobs while 6 engineers want 4 places.
About 1300 votes are expected.
MORE MEN WANTED
