KANSAS AHEAD
ONE VICTORY AND A TIED SCORE ON NEBRASKA.
Hoffman Was the Star Pitcher Many Errors in Yesterday's Game.
In two of the most exciting baseball games played on McCook in many years the Kansas boys won the first from the Cornhuskers and tied the score of the second in a twelve inning game. An inability to catch and handle the ball accurately in the practice before each game indicated the nervousness and intense desire of each team to win. While the hits made by each team were almost equal, the Kansas men made theirs at more opportune times. In the pitching department Hoffman was decidedly out of the class of Morse, the Nebraskan, since he retired ten men at the bat to Morse's two. Jones, the south paw, held the Cornhuskers down to one less hit than Dort did the Kansans, and kept those made so scattered that excepting the errors made by Young at first and Hoffman in the field in the second inning, but three scores would have been made by the visitors. Young, Brookens and Johnson were the sluggers for Kansas, Young securing two singles and one two bagger in three times up and Brookens connecting for a single and double and Johnson driving a hard grounder for three bases. In the second game Bloss connected three times out of six.
On Thursday six hundred Jayhawkers witnessed the game and repeatedly cheered the home boys when they retired the Nebraskans without a score. Nebraska made her two scores in the third inning when with bases full Bellong hit a hot drive to Baily who tried at second, but failed to retire the man thus scoring the third base runner. Hoffman then hit Wilson, forcing in another. For Kansas Brookens scored in the second on an error made by the Nebraska third base man, and in the fifth. In the fifth Johnson's long drive scored Young and Hetherington and from third Johnson scored from a sacrifice by Brown.

PROFESSOR ENGEL TO EUROPE.
To Spend Summer Abroad--- Prof. Carruth's Trip Postponed.
Professor E. F. Engel, of the German department will spend the summer in Europe in company with Professor T. W. Todd of Washburn. Professor Engel will start about the first of June. Mrs. Engel and children will accompany him as far as Indiana where they will spend the summer. Professors Engel and Todd will go by way of Liverpool, through England, France, and into Germany, where they will spend the most of the summer. Professor Engel will visit Switzerland, Austria, and Bohemia, to study the scenes of "Tell" and "Wallenstein."
Professor Engel has been on the University faculty since his graduation in 192. As a student he was editor of the University Courier one semester, and of the Review one year. In connection with Professor Carruth he has been at work on "Die Blinden," a fresh little story of German life which they have written together and which will be used in the high schools of the state next year.
Professor Carruth has postponed his European trip for one year on account of University business. He had planned to spend the summer collecting material for his history of the German novel. He will probably carry out this plan next year.

SCHOOL MEET POSTPONED.
Bad Weather Ruins Track----Will Be Held Next Saturday.
The interschool track meet which was to have been held today, has been postponed until next Saturday on account of the condition of the grounds after the rains of the last two days, and the impossibility of getting them in proper shape. Had there been a few hours of sunshine yesterday arrangements could have been completed without trouble.
Preparations are being made at the University to entertain the largest crowd of high school students at the coming State high school meet, next Friday, that has ever visited the University at one time since the inauguration of the meet. The giving of two cups this year, one to the Kansas City schools, and one to the schools of the state, gives the state schools an advantage they have not had heretofore. A cup will also be given to the student making the highest individual score and also to the relay team that wins the relay race. This is another move in the right direction.
Entries have been coming in quite rapidly the last few days, and there is promise of an exceptionally good meet. Every student in the University should take it upon himself to see that all our visitors are entertained in the best possible manner, as this meet and the conference of high school teachers will do more toward bringing students to the University than any other one means we have.
FRATERNITY DEBATE TONIGHT

EMPORIA EASY
KANSAS TOOK ANOTHER VIC- TORY TODAY.
The Score Was 11 to 0-Mead Proves His Ability in the Box.
Kansas annexed another victory this afternoon by defeating the College of Emporia in a very one-sided game. The Emporia boys made many costly errors which resulted in scores for the Jayhawkers. Their pitcher delivered the ball well, and the safe hits off him were few, but the poor fielding support of the rest of the team was responsible for a large share of the score.
Meade pitched a good game for Kansas, pitching out seven men before the end of the sixth inning. Brookens was at his best behind the bat and took in everything that came his way. The general work of the Jayhawkers was better today than in the game yesterday, the outfield showing up much stronger. The better condition of the diamond would account for part, but not all of the improvement. Nearly four hundred spectators were out and although the game was one sided, it was, on the whole, interesting.
The first time up Baily pounded the ball over the fence for a two bagger. Brookens got a walk and Bloss made first on an error, followed by a single from Wilson and two scores were made. On a sacrifice Young scored Bloss. The next three innings followed with goose eggs. In the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth, two scores at a time were made, making Kansas 11 in all.
The score was as follows:
R BH E
Emporia 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 5 10
Kansas 3 0 0 0 2 2 2 2 0 - 11 8 6
Batteries: K. U., Meade and Brookens; Emporia, Matthews and McCormick. Struck out, by Meade, 10; by Matthews, 7.
