THE KANSAN.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME II.
TWO GAMES
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 18, 1906.
KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA PLAY THIS WEEK.
The Games Will be Close----Feared Kansas May be Over Confident.
On Friday and Saturday of this week the Oklahoma University will cross bats with the Jayhawkers on McCook field. In the early part of the southern trip the territory boys defeated the Kansans in two games by the score of 5 to1 and 8 to4 but at the return game a week later the Jayhawkers played rings around the Sooners and defeated them by the decisive score of 9 to2.
The winning of the games on McCook will decide the championship. It will take both to make Kansas leader since Oklahoma now has the two. No opportunity is now left for loafing. The home team has been very successful lately but one of the hardest propositions of the entire season is before them now. Every man must play at his best if he would send the Oklahomans home, a defeated team.
Hoffman, who showed up so well in the last game with Oklahoma, allowing but five scattering hits will go in the box in the first game and Kirmeyer or Jones will deliver the elusive twisters in the second game.
7-11-44.
Senior Play Will be May 15 and 16 ---The Cast is Chosen.
The annual play to be given by the Senior class of the University, has aroused much interest by the novel advertisements, 7-11-44, which have kept the students and townpeople guessing. 7-11-44, is the title of the play, which the committee say is "very interesting for all and a little too interesting for a few." The members of the committee are: chairman, Maud Olander (appointed to fill the vacancy of Maud Van Cleave,) Paul Neff, Calvin Newman, Lawrence Brett, Chas. Van Fleet, Helen Alder, Lois Borland, and Pearl Maser.
Tha characters have already been assigned and rehearsals have been held for the first and second acts.
Margaret Philbrook, Inez Kilgore, Ada Bechtel, Charlotta
Clark, Dan Anderson, Paul Neff, Lawrence Brett, Oscar Zimmerman, Harry Hart, Glen Parker, Emile Brunner, Fred Grant, Calvin Newman, Wilbur Parker, Wallis Wilson, and William Neville make up the cast.
The play is a five-act comedy and will be presented at the Bowersock, May 15 and 16, with an admission $1,75,50 and 25 cents. Harry Hart is the manager of the play.
Judges Not Chosen--Parker Has Rheumatism.
BAKER DEBATE SATURDAY.
Saturday night in the University chapel Kansas will strive with Baker University for supremacy in debating. The debate has been attracting more attention than any similar match since the two schools broke off relations several years ago. Baker will have a large crowd out to cheer her representatives.
The judges for the debate had not been chosen this morning, but no serious difficulty is anticipated in selecting three men who will be satisfactory to both schools. The Kansas team is in excellent training for the debate, and will put up the strongest argument that has been heard in a state debate in a long time. Wilbern Parker, whose rebuttal work in the Iowa debate last year attracted so much attention, has been suffering with rheumatism for several days, but will be in the debate.
FRATERNITY SCHEDULE.
Pan-Hellenic Baseball Next Week ---The Schedule is Ready.
With the opening of the regular base ball season the enthusiasm over the inter-fraternity playing has returned, and is now plainly showing itself. The committee, composed of Stanley I. Myers, Chas. R. Hines and John Schwin, appointed to arrange a schedule of games has prepared the following:
Thursday, April 26, Phi Gam vs Alpha Tau.

K. U.-K. C. A. C. RELAY RACE.
K. C. Team Here Saturday. -- Smashing of Records.
Manager Lansdon has secured the K.C.A.C. relay team to run against the Kansas team on Saturday afternoon. This race will be the first event in the afternoon preceding the interschool meet. The K.C.A.C. team is the fastest set of men in the West, having defeated the St. Louis athletic club in the Collisseum in the big in-door meet March 17, at St. Louis. The Kansas City boys ran the four races of 350 yards each in 2 minutes and 49 seconds flat, while the Jayhawker team ran the same distance against the Tigers and Washington University in 2 minutes and 52 seconds flat. Cotton, the fastest sprinter on the K.C. team, ran the 440 in the meet last June a close second to Moulton in 50 3-5 seconds. The Kansas team will likely be composed of the same men who contested at St. Louis, Driscoll, Dennis, Wallace, and Young.
In the inter-school meet Saturday the Laws and Engineers seem to be the closest competitors for the silver cup. Russell will no doubt establish a new pole vault record since he is now crossing the bar at 11 feet in practice. Putman, the Samson of the '09 class, has already hurled the steel hammer 20 feet farther than the K. U. record stands and is sailing the discus in capital form.
Asher for Clerk.
Henry Asher, who graduated from the law school last year, received the nomination Monday on the republican ticket, for clerk of the District court of Douglas county. His prospects are bright for election, by all accounts, and his University friends hope to see him successful. He has been clerk of the Probate court of Lawrence for the last three years, so he will go in office with experience in the same line of work.
ALPHA TAUS WIN
THE EWING HERBERT CUP CHANGES HANDS.
Fred Brett Took First Place in the Second Pan-Hellenic Debate
Fred Brett of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity won first place in the second annual inter-fraternity debate last Saturday night. The trophy of the debate, the silver loving cup given by Ewing Herbert of the Brown County World last year, goes to the Alpha Taus for the year, and if they succeed in defending it for two years more, it becomes the permanent property of the fraternity.
The contest Saturday night developed much more interest than last year, and it will no doubt be one of the big events in fraternity life in the course of a few years. The contestants were: Fred Brett, Alpha Tau; Art Relihan, Sigma Chi; George T. Guernsey, Phi Gam; Theo. Alford, Sig Alph; and Bernard Sheridan, Phi Psis. The judges were Professors Engel and Miller, and W. B. Brownell.
PHI DELTA PHI ELECTS. Five New Men Elected to the Law "Frat."
At its last meeting the Phi Delta Phi fraternity elected to membership the following men: H. R. Lebrect, A. L. Bloss, A H. Nevitt, J. R. Thorn, and John Roaten. Action was also taken towards building up a library at the chapter house.
Half-Holiday Friday.
The University will have a half-holiday Friday to leave the students free to entertain their high school friends in the afternoon. The Phi Psis will give a dance in Pythian hall that night to their high school guests; the Sigma Chis at their chapter house, and the Phi Gams will give a smoker at their frat house.
Kansan Elects Board Member.
At the meeting of the Kansan board Monday morning Will G. De Weese, of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, was elected to fill the place recently made vacant by the resignation of Howard Farnsworth. Mr. De Weese is a freshman in the college and has been doing work in the newspaper class this year.
