BAKER DEFEATED
SCORE WAS 13 TO 4=HOFFMAN DID GOOD WORK.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 9, 1906.
Kansas Batted Mason Hard--- Strong Wind Made it Disagreeable for the Spectators.
Kansas more than evened things up with Baker by defeating them on their own ground Monday by the score of 13 to 4. Although the day was not an ideal one, about 300 rooters accompanied the team and from the comparative yelling of the two schools, an outsider would have imagined that Baker was playing away from home.
From the moment that the excursion reached Baldwin, the K. U. contingent took possession of the village, and at no time were the Baker's much in evidence aside from the ball game. Only one incident occurred to relieve the monotony. In front of Hobb's grocery, hardware, and general merchandise store while struggling to divide some yellow bunting which the store keeper had hung out as a supposed adornment were treated to a volley of eggs. However, liquid chicken put no damper on their spirits.
The game started at four o'clock and for two hours Kansas tried to make as many runs as possible, while the spectator would have imagined that the Methodists were trying to out do each other in juggling the ball. Mason was as easy as usual and Johnson's men had no trouble in making seventeen hits. However the miserable support that he was afforded, would have dampened the ardor of any pitcher. Hoffman pitched a fine game and allowed only eight scattered hits. He had excellent control and did not give a pass during the game.

In striking contrast to the showing of the Bakerites in the field, the Kansas boys played a clean game, making only one error.
The feature of the game was Bailey's home run in the second inning and the heavy batting of Johnson and Brookins. The latter secured two three baggers. Umpire Felix, of Ottawa, gave satisfaction and his decisions could be heard all over the field. The score was:
The young men of the Quivera Club of 1312 Vermont Street, will give their annual party to the ladies of the club on Saturday evening of this week.

MISSOURI MEET SATURDAY.
Track Team Goes to Columbia Friday---M.U. Claims New Records.
The track team will leave Friday morning for Columbia for the track meet Saturday with Missouri University. The men are all in good shape, and the meet will be very close.
The latest advices from our neighbors are that they have made new records that will put them ahead of the records of our best men. They assert that Larue, is throwing the hammer over 134 feet and Jackson has the credit of running the two mile in the best time of 10 minutes 3-4 seconds. Kansas will concede the two mile race to Jackson, but as to the hammer throw, though we're not from Missouri, we've got to be shown. Tidd and Jenkins will have to make record time to take the half mile race from Miller and Siler, while Driscoll and Dennis will not be far in the dust at the end of the 100 and 220 yard dashes.
The meet is looked upon as the first real try out of the Kansas team against formidable opponents, and will give the first good comparison of the abilities of the Kansas team and the Nebraskans.
The squad that will represent Kansas will number, besides Manager Lansdon and Coach Butler, twelve as follows: Capt. Driscoll, Young, Parker, Priest, Barnard, Miller, Dennis, Johnson, Wallace, Russell, Putnam and Siler.
Cast of Characters for This Year's Production.
The last hard practice will be held this afternoon, and the men will be in the pink of condition for the meet Saturday.

The following is the cast of characters for the French play to be given in Fraternal Aid Hall Friday evening:
SCORES "MUCKERISM."
The admission to the play is free according to custom, and everybody interested is cordially invited to attend.

Manager Lansdon Talks Plainly on Athletics.
Mr. W. C. Landon, general manager of athletics in the University, made a very plain and straightforward talk in chapel Tuesday morning on the value and standing of college athletics. He enumerated some of the advantages of a thorough athletic training, and justified the existence of our athletics on that ground.
In closing, he deplored what he termed "muckerism" in all athletic contests, and declared that the true sportsmanlike spirit is best shown by leaving both teams entirely on their own resources to play their game. "I never like to hear a fellow say that he and three hundred others got out on the sideline and won the game in the last few minutes by their yelling and jeering," said he. "It is a better spirit that does not try to make the visitors forget what they came for by dint of the noise that can be made."
PLAY WASHBURN FRIDAY.
Only One More Game With a State School.
The Jayhawker base ball team will play the Washburn team on McCook Friday afternoon of this week. The team from the Congregational camp has not made a very enviable record yet this year but you can put it down that they will deliver the best they have when they go up against the Kansas team. The University boys this year are not respectors of the denominational schools.
275 Receive Degrees.
Iowa Proposes Debate Question.
The Presbyterians from Emporia failed to even get a close glimpse of third base and the Wesleyan followers at Baker were unable to annex a victory in either game played this year. After Washburn, Friday the Catholics from St. Marys will be the only school of the state left.
Two hundred and seventy-five seniors will receive diplomas at the forty-fourth annual commencement of the university, Wednesday, June 6th. This will be by far the largest class ever graduated from the university, showing an increase of 75 over last year's class. The college will furnish nearly half of the graduates, the senior class in that department numbering 124. The first class to receive M. D. degrees from the university numbers 63. The law school has thirty-three candidates for degrees, followed by the Engineering school with 32, the Pharmacy with 16 and the Fine Arts with 7.
Iowa has submitted the following proposition for its next year's debate with Minnesota: "Resolved, that the cities of all the U. S. should seek the solution of the street railway problem in private ownership." Minnesota will have to report its choice of sides by May 9.
STILL UNCERTAIN
NO ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE MISSOURI DEBATE.
Missouri Refused to Send Representative to Kansas City. Debate Probably Off.
No satisfaction has as yet been received from Missouri as to the annual debate which was to have been held last Saturday evening, and in all probability the debate is off for good. After the failure of Missouri to secure the judges suggested by them and accepted by Kansas, Missouri was asked to send a man to Kansas City to confer with a representative from Kansas about a later arrangement for the debate, but this Missouri refused to do.
The most of the difficulty at Missouri, so far as can be judged from the correspondence, lies with the student members of their debating league who have carried on the most of their negotiations. One of the things that Missouri has alleged in the despatches to the Kansas City papers is that Kansas has been dilatory. Just two days after the list of judges sent by Missouri's student secretary were received here, a faculty member of the league wrote to know why the judges had not been chosen, as he thought the list had been sent for more than a week.
Kansas is still willing to arrange a later date for the debate, but the attitude of Missouri seems to indicate that there is slight chance of an agreement.
Sophs in Trouble at Minnesota.
A number of sophomores at the University of Minnesota have been called before the faculty for an attack on the freshmen who were giving a dancing party last week. The sophs rushed the hall where the dance was held and were repulsed by the freshmen just as the police came on the scene. The sophs turned their attention to the cops and showered them with eggs and stones until they withdrew. It is expected that the leaders of the attack will be expelled.
Tennis Tournament With Baker.
Arrangements are under way for a tennis tournament to be held with Baker University some time this spring. The matter of selecting the University team is being pushed, and the entries will be closed on Friday of this week. Tennis has been very much in the background as a student sport at the University for a long time, but of late there has been a growing feeling for the game, and the tournament that is being arranged is one of the results.
