UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 4, 1913.
B. BALL MAKES ITS 1913 DEBUT TODAY
NUMBER 120
Kansas and William Jewell on McCook at 3:30—St. Marys Tomorrow
PORTSIDER SCHENK MAY PITCH
Easy Game Expected—Whole Team to Get Chance to Show Mettle
The 1913, baseball season opens officially on McCook field this afternoon when Kansas hooks up with the William Jewell team of Liberty, Missouri, and Coach Frank and his squad of twenty ball players make their first appearance before the public in a real ball game.
The definite lineup for the contest this afternoon has not been announced since Coach Frank has not decided upon some of the positions. However, it is a safe bet that "Lefty" Schenk, the portsiers, who showed such good form last week in the six innings he was on the mound, will be chosen to oppose the Missourians.
His arm has been bothering a little but he claims to be ready for a game. A hard contest is not expected this afternoon and the Coach will no doubt give every one a try-out.
The game will start at 3:30 sharp. The probable battery for the Jayhawkers is Schenk and Sommers.
The squand has been working for the past month and appears to be in pretty good condition. The pitchers are coming around in good shape and as soon as some hot weather hits the country every thing will be well.
JUNIORS ARE DANCING IN THE GYMNASIUM TONIGHT
The game tomorrow afternoon with St. Mary's should be a corker. It is really too hard a game so early in the season and should certainly give the coach a good line on his men.
STUDENTS AND PROFESSOR
RIDE IN PATROL WAGON
Prof, Victor E. Helleberg and seventeen students of his class in Remedial and Corrective Agencies visited the federal prison at Leavenworth and the state prison at Lansing yesterday.
The Junior Prom, the biggest social event of the year at the University, takes place tonight in Robinson Gymnasium. 800 people are expected to attend.
Today was spent in the transaction of routine business, such as allowing bills, and some minor appointments were confirmed. Both boards will adjourn tomorrow.
TELLS OF MORAL VALUE
OF KEEPING HIGH IDEALS
The travelers were: Professor Hellerberg, Mary Tupper, Helen Degan, Frank Banker, Minnie Moser, Isa Smith, Grace Banks, Rolla Wymper, Clyde Meath McCormick, O. N Roth, W. W. Thompson, Fred Scheurer, Omar Hite, Mathew Wilson, and James Houghton.
Dinner was served the visitors at the officers' mess in Leavenworth, and tea by Mr. and Mrs. Codding at Lansing. The party was hauled to the train at Lansing in the prison patrol.
Four members of the temporary Board of Regents, A. B. Reeves, Dodge City, Vance Humphrey, Junction City, Rodney Elward, Castleton, and Rachel Pugh, Independence, are meeting today in the office of the Chancellor. The two other members of the board, G. W. Marble, of Ft Scott, and C. F. Foley of Lyons have not arrived yet. The new Board of Administration is meeting in conjunction with them.
"The Moral Value of a Lofty Purpose" was the subject of a speech in chapel this morning by Dr. J. B. Silcox of Kansas City. His general advice was to avoid the mediocre, seek the high, strive for the great things, not to underestimate one's ability. "The men with an upward look are the men with a lofty purpose," said Dr. Silcox. "A lofty purpose rises when morals, duty, industry, and integrity have eternal precedence. One talented man with a purpose can do more than ten talented men without a purpose."
TEMPORARY BOARD OF
REGENTS HERE TODAY
The Kansas Prom is generally conceded to be a very same affair, even flowers and cabs being generally dispensed with, and every effort being made to keep the function within the bounds of reason.
Following a ruling made two years ago the Prom starts at 6 o'clock and ends at 3 A. M
It is estimated that each girl will make an average outlay of $30 for this occasion, and boys in proportion as they rent or buy "swallow-tails." The above is a picture of last year's Prom.
SUGAR COAT WORK FOR CHILDREN,HE ADVISES
Vice-President of Playgrounds Association Tells How To Exercise "Kids"
That work should be interwoven with play in such a manner as to make the work seem as play to the child was the statement of Mr. Weller, vice-president of the National Play-ground Association in his talk before Professor Blackmar's sociology class this morning. The German idea of "One, two, three, up, down, left, right" is not the American method of giving children exercise, he pointed out.
"I took my boy Winston on a camping trip once and imposed upon him the task of filling the camp stove woodbox," Mr. Weller declared. "It took about as much energy to get him to fill the receptacle daily as it would have taken to do itself.
"However, this same boy found it great sport to run up a steep hill with a heavy wheelbarrow at top speed, because he pretended that the barrow was a locomotive and he was the engineer.
"Now this same principle applies to school life. Make the school work so interesting to the child that it will seem as play and there will be no difficulty in getting him to work."
The freshman smoker committee met last night and made plans for the first freshman smoker, to be held on April 15, probably in the Gym. Tags will be out next Tuesday. This smoker will be held for all first year men of every school in the University.

SIX OUT FOR FOOTBALL
Mosse and the Pepery Hal Dozen Romp Joyfully in Cool Breezes
Spring football practice is being imposed upon, according to Coach Mosse. At the practice Thursday afternoon only six men showed up for training work.
But Thursday was a great day for football anyhow. The coach with his six lone enthusiasts worked steadily for two hours. If more men have been there, and surely have been a practice game on the field south of McCook.
The "pep" was very evident in the men. The cold wind from the north kept the men humping. The big freshman Mulley ran around the track on the field twice before the practice commenced. "Dad" Paslay succeeded in making one circuit of the field.
The fellowing men showed up for practice: Ryan, Mulloy, Nelson, Hammond, Burnett and Paslay.

NO DEFINITE ACTION
ON BACTERIOLOGY MOVE
Story of Transfer of One Department to Rosedale Without Foundation
The faculty merely informally discussed the advisability of giving the medical school control of the bacteriology department and other departments that give instruction in medicine. The faculty may give instruction in the school may give instruction in medicine and nothing else, but no action whatever was taken.
At a recent meeting of the council of the Rosedale School of Medicine some proposed changes to the constitution of the school were discussed, but no definite action of any sort was taken. The matter will probably be formally decided at the next meeting of the council, in accordance with recommendations to be offered by the faculty.
The current story that the department of bacteriology was to be transferred to Rosedale is groundless. There never has been such a department for any of the departments that give instruction in medical work.

CORRECTION
There is one very crestfallen Cub on the Kansan today. Last night he picked the University Debating team up and, glorying in a "top head story," with one word transported them to Colorado. However, they will not go until next Friday, April 11.
