THE KANSAN.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 4, 1906.
VOLUME II.
BACK TODAY
LAST GAME OF THE PRACTICE SCHEDULE TODAY.
Base Ball Team Developed Rapidly-A Summary of the Results.
The Jayhawker base-ball team will reach home this evening from its long trip through Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. The boys will play their last game today against the Normalites at Emporia if the field is in condition. "Andy" Brown and "Ben" Young came home this morning and resumed their work in the University.
The two defeats administered by the Sooners at Norman, Okla., in the early part of the trip seemed to cast a spell over the boys and they lost every game while in Texas. On account of rain but one of the games scheduled at Austin, Texas, was played. Then at the State Agricultural and Mechanical school our boys were defeated 7 to 1. At Austin they lost 4 to 2. When they reached the Gulf at Galveston, the Southern Leaguers handed out two more defeats, 11 to 2 and 13 to 2. The Kansans need not be discouraged though, since the Chicago Nationals were defeated by Galveston a few days before 2 to 0. The early training advantages of the south were clearly shown in the fast work of the teams in Texas.
The showing made by the boys at Norman, Okla., on Monday was the best of the trip. The Territory boys were jubilant over their two former victories and with the Kansas team's record in Texas before them they were offering two to one money on this game. Every Jayhawker went in to win and the score of 9 to 2 bears out their determination. Hoffman pitched the battle and allowed but five scattering hits. The Kansans got ten hits among which were 2 two baggers by Young, and 1 each by Wilson, Brown and Hoffman.
At Emporia College yesterday in a four inning game Kirmeyer the Leavenworth slabsman allowed the Presbyterians but 1 run while the Jayhawkers made nine.
During the trip Brooken's batting record has been the highest of any man on the team. On the pitching staff Meade, Hoffman, Kirmeyer, and Jones each won a game and have shown their ability to "deliver the goods."
The games played on the trip and the scores were:
Friends University 1, Kansas 3.
Chilocco Indians 1, Kansas 6.
Oklahoma University 5, Kansas 1; second game O. U. 8, K.
U. 4; third game O. U. 2, Kansas 10.
Austin, Texas 4, Kansas 2. Texas Agricultural and Mech School 7, Kansas 1.
Galveston Southern League 10, Kansas 2; second game G. S. L. 13, Kansas 2.
Emporia College 1, Kansas 9.

Glee Club Successful----Returned Monday from Trip.
The University Glee Club returned Monday from their spring tour of towns in the northern part of the state, having to their credit as successful a trip as was ever taken by a musical organization of the University.
There were gatherings of old students and graduates with the Club, at many towns, and much interest was shown for Kansas University. Much credit is due R.W.Hoover, who has managed the club so ably this season and made it possible for the treasurer to report a net profit of $150 for the season.
Concerts were given at Holton, where Chas. Ise,'05, is principal, at Frankfort, Waterville, Washington, where Webb Vincent, a former football star is principal. The club was at Beloit Friday night, and was entertained by the high school after the concert. The last concert was at Minneapolis, Saturday night.

FOOTBALL RULES.
National Committee Work Finished--In Disfavor Here.
The Football Rules Committee has at last finished its work in New York and the lovers of the game can rest assured that football will be played at least one more season. However many changes have been adopted and it is rather doubtful whether one season will be enough to give them a thorough trial owing to the length of time that will be consumed in learning the alterations.
In substance the most important changes are the following: Ten yards must be made in three downs; to offset this, the defense has been weakened and only six men can be in the line of scrimmage. No tackling will be allowed below the knees. One forward pass will be allowed in every scrimmage. Heavier penalties will be inflicted for rough playing.
Various opinions have been expressed in regard to the effect of the rules on the game at Kansas. Captain Donald said that he believed the future contest would result in basket ball games owing to the forward pass. He also stated that roughness would be as prevalent as formerly.
Montgomery County in Athletics.
NUMBER 52
The Montgomery County boys organized a basket ball and base ball team during vacation and played several games in their county. Thursday evening, the Coffeyville city team defeated them in basket ball 26 to 13. The Coffeyville High School won a game Friday evening by the score of 17 to 10. In the game Ansel Clark received a painful sprain in the shoulder which prevented his playing farther.
On Saturday the University club defeated the Montgomery county High School in base ball by the close score of 8 to 7.
The boys in the teams were: McVey, Dunbar, Smith, O'Brien, Fowler, Disney, Dudley, Davis Morgan, Lynch, and Clark.
Dr. Corbin Speaks.
Dr. Alberta L. Corbin addressed the students in chapel Tuesday morning on the subject of culture. She remarked that a criticism had been made to the effect that there was very little culture to be found among the students of the University of Kansas, and then explained what was meant by "culture" when the remark was made. The theme of her address was that a truly cultured person ought to be able to perform manual labor rapidly and efficiently and that the person who has not acquired this power lacked the perfection of human culture.
"ALLEMANIA" IS LAUNCHED.
German Club Launch Ready For The Trial Trip.
"He laughs best who laughs last."
The German Club's gasoline launch, which was begun last spring, is finished, and is now resting on the placid waters of the Kaw. The workmen put the final touches to the machinery, and arranged details for launching last Thursday. Saturday morning the boat was taken from its familiar resting place on the campus and hauled to the river where it was launched and several successful tests made.
The boat which was designed by engineers of the club is 24 feet long, and is fitted with a double cylinder engine capable of making 800 revolutions per minute. The boat will be christened on the first trip made by the club and the official name will be "Allemania."
Kansas High Schools Accredited.
At the recent meeting of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools held in Chicago the following Kansas high schools were accredited with the association: Fort Scott, Junction City, Leavenworth, Sumner County, Topeka, Wichita, Hutchison and Lawrence. Kansas City Kansas failed to make a report in time to be considered.
Other Kansas schools would have received accreditation but sor slight irregularities which debarred them on account of the rigid standards of admission of the association.
