ONE GAME EACH
DRURY TOOK THE SECOND GAME EASILY.
KansasWas Out of Luck->Visitors' Errors Cost Them Little.
In the first inning Kansas scored two, through a base on balls, an error, a sacrifice and a hit. In the third they took another and in the sixth two more. In the eighth Wilson made first having been hit with the ball, and followed by Bailey's long drive, both were scored.
The college men in the second reached first on an error followed by three passes and a two bagger they scored four. In the ninth they scored three more on an error and three singles.
Kansas won the first game from Drury College of Springfield, Missouri, yesterday by the close score of 8 to 7. Kirmeyer pitched the game for the Jayhawkers and except a flight into the air in the third inning when he issued three passes to first, he had the college boys guessing. Captain Johnson played a brilliant game at third, handling two hot drives that looked like hits. The heaviest batting of the year was done by Spide Bailey who connected once for a three sacker and again for a home run. Brookins caught two difficult fouls and succeeded in handling all irregular balls that came near the plate.

Drury easily took the game today by the one-sided score of 8 to 3. Kaufman pitched a splendid game for the visitors, allowing but four hits, one of them a home run by Wilson in the eighth. Jones allowed nine hits and errors in the field, allowed three runs in the second.
The visitors seemed to get their hits in the most opportune times, while Kansas seemed out of luck all around, and Wilson's home run brought but one score. R. H. E.

H. J. Allen Speaks.
Mr. H. J. Allen, of the Ottawa Herald spoke to the Newspaper classes yesterday on "Political Newspaper Writing." The talk was crisp and to the point, and one of the best this year. He said in part:
"To be an expert writer of political news, a reporter should have imagination and constructive genius. He should be well read and informed on the leading questions of the day. There should be no coloring in reporting political news, no use of fine literary expressions, but a clear, concise, and accurate statement of facts. Be honest and fair, giving all men the benefit of a doubt, but above all be truthful in your report, do not let your reader lack information concerning a political controversy."
German By Laboratory Method.
Professor E. F. Engle, of the German department, has a new plan for teaching beginning German, called the Laboratory Method, which he has been using this year. Bymeans of picture charts, the student learns an extensive vocabulary, and fixes it in his mind by associating the word with the picture, and original sentences are written and corrected in class. The student learns at once to express his thoughts in German and easily learns to speak the language. Much more work can be done in this way. The idea received very favorable comment at the Teachers Conference.

C. M. Harger Speaks.
Mr. C. M. Harger spoke to the Quill Club Thursday afternoon on the West in current literature. Mr. Harger says that the great western story is yet to appear, and that it must be on the line of John Fox's "Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come." He declared that William Allen White was one of the leading western men in current fiction, and especially commended his plan of localizing all his stories.
Sickness of Men the Reason. The Next Meet at Missouri.
OTTAWA DECLARED MEET OFF
Manager Lansdon received word from Ottawa University Friday that Ottawa could not meet K. U. in the dual meet here Saturday on account of the sickness of her star in the weight events. This leaves only the meets with Missouri May 12 and Nebraska May 26. As these meets are held at Columbia and Lincoln the students will not be able to see the team in a real meet this year unless Manager Lansdon secures the strong K.C.A.C. team for a dual meet on McCook, June 2. Either the Kansas City team or the K.S. A.C. team will be willing to come here on that date, but it is improbable that any attempt will be made to have a meet that late in the year.

DEBATE IS OFF
MISSOURI SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE "LEARY."
Submit Judges Who Cannot Serve. —Little Chance that Debate Will Be Held.
The debating management of Missouri practically cancelled the Kansas-Missouri debate yesterday by refusing to leave Columbia until all three of the judges for the contest were chosen. They did this after the Kansas council had made all the concessions and offers to avoid the difficulty that common fairness could suggest.
The trouble arose in selecting the two judges from the list of ten which Missouri submitted. The two who were announced in the Kansan on Wednesday were taken from this list, but could not serve, as they were all lawyers, and very busy. After Missouri refused to submit other names, the Kansas council selected four other names from the original ten, but Missouri wired the failure to get them to act. Later it was learned through a Kansas City man, that one of them, a Mr. Ball, would act. Missouri was notified, and Kansas suggested that he and the other judge taken from Kansas' list should choose the third. Missouri not only refused, but would not accept the man they had proposed, "because Kansas had communicated with him." They still insisted that the other two judges be chosen from three remaining of the original ten names, and as one of them was a graduate of Missouri and another now has a son in the University of Missouri, Kansas very naturally refused.
There is a very strong feeling here that Missouri is trying to get out of the debate, and at the same time shift the responsibility to Kansas. For this reason the council offered to grant any reasonable concession to avoid the break.
If the postponed Missouri debate does not take place, the persons who bought tickets can get their money back from the men who sold them the tickets. There is a possibility that the debate will be held next Saturday. B.A.EARHART, Business Manager
