I AMILTON'S BOYS ARE DOING THINGS.
17on From Drake Last Night Took Two From Missouri and Last One at Washington.
According to a report received by the Lawrence Journal, the Jayhawker basket-ball team added another scalp to their list last night by defeating the Drake team by a score of 60 to 30. The particulars of the game could not be learned.
"Tommy" Johnson and his teammates in slight way, got sweet revenge for the Thanksgiving football game by taking four straight from the Tigers in basket-ball. The score of the first Columbia game was 25 to 21 in favor of Hamilton's pets and the second was a run-a-way for the Jayhawkers, the final count being Kansas 58 and Missouri 22.
Tonight the Jayhawkers play the Iowa State Agricultural College at Ames, Iowa. Tomorrow and Saturday night they play at Lincoln against the Cornhuskers. Ames is an unknown quantity, but the Nebraskers were easy when they were here early in the season.
The last of the series at Washington University resulted in a victory for the Kansans, the score being 19 to 16.
The team will return to Law rence Sunday.

CAR LINE APRIL FIRST.
Good Weather and the Loop Will Be Done Then.
Providing weather conditions permit, the loop of the street railway which is to encircle the campus of the University, will be in operation by the first of April. Work on the construction of the line will begin March 1, and a large force of workmen will be kept busy until the line is completed.
At present the tracks end just north of the Law building. The line will be continued from that point west, behind the Chemistry building, then turning south, will pass between the gymnasium and Fowler shops. At this point the track will drop just below the hill between the power plant and the shops, and then east to Ontario street, south of the Physic building.
FOR A NATIONAL GUARDCOMPANY
MOVEMENT TO ORGANIZE
ONE AMONG STUDENTS.
C. R. Shifler, a Middle Law, is the Recruiting Officer—Petition to Be Signed.
A company of the Kansas National Guard will be organized among the students of the University if a petition which C. R. Shiffler, a middle law, is circulating, receives a sufficient number of signatures.
Mr. Shiffler has been instructed by C. L. Martin, '07, Adjutant General of Kansas, to prepare a military petition and to turn it over to Wilder S. Metcalf, '97, who is the colonel of the First Kansas regiment. Colonel Metcalf will lay the petition before the state military board.
The company, if one is organized will be a part of the First Kansas regiment, which is now short one company.
Dr. James Naismith is in favor of the organization of a company at the University. He has agreed to allow the gymnasium to be used for drill and armory purposes.
"Valuable training and experience may be derived from membership in the Guards," said Mr, Shifler today." Every man is completely outfitted without expense to himself. Each member will receive about $30 a year for attending drills and for firing 250 rounds of ammunition on the target range at three cents a shot.
Mr. Shiffler believes that a company of maximum strength can be recruited from the University student body. He passed the petition around at his boarding club yesterday morning and secured seven signatures, in a few moments. He has had considerable experience in recruiting militia companies, having served as the captain of one.
"Some of the features of chief value to the members are the participation in the army maneuvers at Fort Riley next summer and contesting for medals awarded by the state for marksmanship."

GALLERY GODS WERE EJECTED
TWO STUDENTS AND LITTLE KID TAKEN OUT.
A Peanut War Carried on by "Rough Necks" Had Disastrous Ending Last Night.
As a result of the rowdy, rough conduct of the gallery gods at the Bowersick opera house last night two prominent students of the University and a little down-town kid were given their money back by the manager and gently escorted out of the theater by the same gentleman. One of the students is a middle law and the other is a senior pharmacie.
Nearly a hundred students were in the "Roost" last night for the presentation of "Polly of the Circus," and, as characterized by one who was a victim of their sport, they acted like a chowd of first class "rough-necks." Contrary to the usual custom the noise and boisterousness which generally precedes a performance of that kind, lasted until the two students and the little kid were taken out between the second and third acts.
The offence which got the two students and the little kid into trouble was the waging of a "peanut war." The fun of the gallery opened for the evening with the customary announcements in loud tones when University couples took their seats in the parquet. Then the student "roughnecks" opened fire with peanut shells upon the theater patrons who were seated in the front of the parquet, and kept up the fusillade through the entire show.
In addition to making the evening uncomfortable for their targets, the peanut shooters disturbed the performance at critical points. At certain times when the rest of the house was quiet and when complete silence was necessary for the effectiveness of the performance, the rattle of cracking and falling peanut hulls broke in disagreably upon the attention of people who had gone to the opera house with other intentions than that of having fun at the expense of the audience.
Finally, the disturbance became more than the opera house manager could stand—and long experience with student audiences have made those managers more than usually patient. The two husky students and the little kid were led to the door and bidden a glad farewell.
It is reported this afternoon that the student council may take action to prevent a repetition of last night's disorder.
Notice to Adelphics.
The Adelphic Literary society will meet tomorrow afternoon, February 25, at the usual hour. It will be largely a business session and as many members as possible should be present.
