FT. LANE WAS ON CAMPUS.
50 Years Ago a Fort Stood Between Fraser and the Lilacs.
"Halt! Advance and give the counterstign! All's well on number
Fifty years ago such commands might have been heard out on the green east of Fraser hall, where the lilac hedge now blossoms forth.
Fort Lane, a look-out point and place to store ammunition, was then located along the top of Mt. Oread, from the Physics building more or less to North College, during the Civil war.
It was named after James Lane, the first United States senator from Kane.
Just east of the main entrance to Fraser was the power house, a long, low stone building. Along the ridge, three or four feet in height, ran a wall made up of loose stone. One cannon could have kicked it over, but to Lawrence people in those days it was a strong shelter.
It is very characteristic of Kansas that when, 50 years ago, soldiers marched and countermarched, the buildings of the state University now stand, and students build bon fires and burn tigers every year on the spot where their fathers once stood prepared to resist Tiger forefathers with bullet and sabre.
BASKET BALL TEAMS TO HOLD CLASS SERIES
Freshmen Look Strongest Only Varsity Players Ineligible—Bond to Coach
A basket-ball tournament to determine the class championship of the University stands next on the athletic calendar. The first practice is called for tomorrow at three o'clock, the finals to be played during the high school will be on April 15 and 18. The winning team will be awarded a silver loving cup which will be engraved and placed in the trophy room.
The freshman class is the only one which has now a regularly organized team, but the coaches see good material in the other classes and are anticipating closely matched teams and some hard-working coaches the teams and help them get tied up for the championship race.
Only Varsity players will be barred from the series, those men who have been playing with the College being listed among the eligibles.
All basket-ball men are urged to come out to the first practice tomorrow and participate. The strength of the classes is nearly even, and all have a good chance to win the cup. The dates of the preliminary games have not yet been determined, but will be set soon.
PROF. BAILLEY'S INVENTION
MAKES L.K. W.C. BEAVE
A very unique device is used at K. U. to ascertain whether or not the city of Lawrence is receiving its water supply from the Kaw river. It was invented by Professor Bailey, a professor at the Department of the University of Kansas.
A chart was then made showing the graph or curve for the percentage of chlorine found in the waters taken from wells which receive their supply from underground infilttration and are usually in good condition.
A year age samples of water from both the river and the settling basins of the Lawrence water works were taken daily and a chemical analysis made for the determination of the per centage of chlorine in same.
Any deviation in the chlorine curve immediately points out the fact that river water is being pumped into the city mains.

WASHBURN BASEBALL DIES
Athletic Board Decides to Abolish Game—Slated to Play Kansas.
Kansas will not meet Washburn in baseball this season. The athletic board of Washburn recently decided that the college would have team, but reconsidered it later and decided against the game.
The students were surprised at the action taken by the athletic body and did not receive it favorably. Petitions are being circulated among the student body asking the board to put baseball on the list of sports for the year. Washburn was slated to play the Jayhawkers this season, the exact date not having been definitely decided upon.
This action shows the spirit which exists at most of universities. Next to football the students at Kansas are more interested in baseball than in any other sport.
The colleges of Oklahoma, somprising the state intercollegiate athletic association, decided at a recent meeting to allow college men to play professional baseball and not be barred from intercollegiate competition. The association includes the state university and the agricultural and mechanical school. The scholarship standards of the conference remain the same.
