THE KANSAN.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME II.
LOSE ONE
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 28,1906.
FIRST DEFEAT SINCE TEXAS GAMES.
Was a Comedy of Errors--Baker and William Jewell Were Easy.
Of the three games played on McCook field this week, the home team won two and lost one. The victory taken by the K. S. A. C. on Wednesday was the first loss the Jayhawkers have had since they left the Gulf nearly a month ago. The game with our brothers from Baldwin was a continuous performance of singles climaxed by a heavy three bagger by Hoffman in the fifth inning. The third game, played yesterday afternoon, was much of a farce and closed at the end of the fifth inning in a heavy rain.
In the game with the Aggies the Jayhawkers infielders contested for first place in the number of errors they could make. The Farmers started the game by scoring two men in the first inning. A base on balls, an error and a nice single tell the story of this act. A single by Johnson and a home run by Bloss tied the score. Jones allowed the visitors too many hits to win the game, even though his support had been perfect. The Kansas rooters got the Aggie twirler in the air in the ninth and for a time it looked as though the score might be tied, but the game closed with the score 8 to 6 in favor of the Agriculturists. Final score:
R. H. E.
K. S. A. C. 2 1 2 0 2 0 0 1 0-8 12 7
Kansas. 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 3-6 7 5
Batteries: Kansas, Jones and Brookens; K. S. A. C., Fury, Caldwell and Cave. Struck out: By Jones 3, by Fury 5. Umpire, Morgan.
In the second game Hoffman proved himself an enigma to the preachers except in the sixth when they bunched four singles and scored three men. Two errors in the seventh let in one man and this ended the scoring by the visitors. The Kansas batters were at their best driving singles almost at will. Score by innings:
R. H. E.
Kansas. 2 3 0 0 2 0 1 0 *-8 15 6
Baker. 0 0 0 0 3 1 0 0 -4 6 5
Batteries: Kansas, Hoffman and Brookens; Baker, Mason and Bloom. Two-brse hits, Lewee; three-base hits, Hoffman. Struck out, by Hoffman 5, by Mason 2. Umpire, Ramsey.
In the five-inning game yesterday with William Jewell the Kansans started out with their accustomed batting and drove out three singles and a three bagger by Bloss which netted 4 scores. Meade pitched a good
game, allowing the visitors but two hits. The score:
R. H. E.
W. J. 0 0 0 0 0-0 2 4
Kansas. 4 0 0 1 0-5 9 1
Batteries: Kansas, Meade and Brookens; William Jewell, Baar and McCatee. Two-base hit, McCatee; three-base hit, Bloss. Struck out, Meade 5, Baar 3. Umpire, Morgan.

KANSAS WINS TRACK MEET.
Emporia Strong in Sprints--Three Records Broken.
In the dual track meet today between Emporia College and Kansas University, the University won by the score of 751-2 to 411-2. Emporia showed up much stronger than was expected, especially in the sprints and some of the weight events.
The surprise of the day was the breaking of the K. U. record in the high jump by "Cap" Young. He cleared the bar at 5 feet 83-4 inches beating the old record 1-4 of an inch.
Putnam beat the record in the hammer throw, made by himself last Saturday. The former record of 128 feet was raised to 134 feet. He also broke the discus record held by Ackerman. Emporia was strong in some of our weaker points.

GAME IS STILL ROUGH.
The New Rules Given a Trial This Morning.
The football squad was out on McCook field this morning and played a trial game to test the new rules of the national committee. Aside from the novelty of a spring football contest, the game did not add much information to the knowledge of the rules. It became at once apparent that forced line plunges would gain the ten yards if executed with speed and determination. End runs are not much different and the tackling above the knees does not materially make the game any more "ladylike."
The forward pass will not be used much owing to the liability of losing the ball.
Coach Kennedy said that he hardly knew what to think of the rules. He believes that as they are more fully understood, more satisfaction will result. The men as a general rule, were not very favorably impressed. Donald said that they bumped into him just as hard as ever and that he didn't see where the elimination of roughness came in.
DATE IS SET.
Bicycle Playing Card's at Vic's.
The French Play Will Be Given May 11.
MADE MONEY.
The annual play given by the students of the French department will be given this year on Friday evening, May 11, in Fraternal Aid hall. The play is a charming comedy and is full of the most delightful situations imaginable. Rehearsals have been held three times a week for the last two weeks. The cast is a strong one, and is composed of about twenty-five members.
Baker Debate Cleared One Hundred Sixteen Dollars.
Shinola Shoe Polish at Vic's.
The accounts for the Baker debate have been settled, and Manager Earhart, of the debating council, has deposited fiftyeight dollars to the credit of the council, as Kansas' half of the proceeds. The total receipts were $138, and the expenses were only $22. Tickets to the amount of $35 were sold here before the debate, and the Baker crowd took about the same amount. The proceeds will be used to defray expenses of the Iowa debate.
THE SOPHOMORE
SECOND YEAR PARTY A SPLENDID SUCCESS.
Three Hundred in Grand March. Novel Effects in Electric Lighting.
The second year entertainers fully maintained their reputation as hosts in their first annual party for the senior class. Although it is an innovation for a lower class to give a formal party for the upper classmen, the success of last night's party will no doubt ensure the permanence of the custom. There were about one hundred and fifty couples in the grand march which was led by president Simpson of the sophomore class and Kate Reynolds.
The class confined their decorations to electric light effects and plant decorations in the front of the hall. The room was lighted in green and white, the lower class colors. At intervals the white lights were extinguished, and the green glow which filled the room lent a very novel appearance to everything.
The committee which planned the party stood in the receiving line and welcomed the guests. They were Rex Singleton, Nellie Graves, Harold Bozell, Esther Raugh, Clare Brigham, Rebecca Moody, Mac Drennan, Genevieve Clark, Herbert Luther and Frances Houlton. The programs were given out by Alice Templin, Herbert Rankin, Annie Allen and Ansel Clark. Newhouse's orchestra furnished the music for the twenty-six dances on the program. Several of the numbers were arranged especially for the occasion.
Student Volunteers Here.
About fifty representatives of schools of the state are here attending the annual convention of student volunteers of the state which met last night and continues its session over Sunday. Chancellor Strong welcomed the visitors last night and was followed by Dr. Wilber, who made the principal address on the character of the volunteer movement.
The speakers at the meetings today and their subjects were: Dr. W. C. Payne, consecration meeting; "Whom to Enlist," Mrs. F. A. Wilber; "Volunteer Band," John Dadisman, State Student Lecturer Y. M. C. A.; "Our Preparation," Mrs. Wiles, of Calcutta, India; "Home Work for the Volunteer," W. W. McLean, General Secretary Agricultural College; "Christians' Attitude Towards Missions," E. B. Black, General Secretary Kansas University, and "Volunteer Ideals," Miss Van Zandt, General Secretary of the University Y. W. C. A.
