IN BETTER FORM
KANSAS WINS TWO MORE GAMES THIS WEEK.
Nebraska Found Hoffman a Surprise---Rain Prevents Second Game at Manhattan.
The base ball team has gingered up a little in the last two games played, taking the second from Nebraska, Saturday and winning from the Farmers Monday. The last Nebraska game was full of errors, but luck and Hoffman's magnificent twirling saved the day. The following account is from The Daily Nebraskan:
Kansas took the last game of the series on Saturday by scoring six runs to Nebraska's five. At the end of the ninth the score stood 3-3, and the tenth yielded no runs for either team. But Kansas hit Milliken in the first half of the eleventh to such an extent that three men crossed the home plate. Nebraska went after Hoffman in their half of this inning, and were able to get two men across the fourth base. Here Hoffman settled down and refused to give Carroll a safe hit. A little single at this time would have meant two runs for the 'Varsity had men on second and third.
Hoffman, the Kansas pitcher, twirled a great game, striking out ten men. He is considered the best pitcher Kansas University ever had, and is the best amateur twirler in Kansas. Both teams made a good many errors, but Kansas proved the greatest offender, having a even dozen to the 'Varsity six. But the Southerners always recovered in time to pull themselves out of the hole.
By ihnings:
By innings:
Kansas...2 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 3—6
Nebraska...0 1 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 2—5
Earned runs—Nebraska. Twobase hits—Johnson, Hetherington, Justice. Sacrifice hits—Wilson, Fenlon. Stolen bases—Hetherington, Bloss, Gaddis, Rine, Fenlon, Carroll 2, Sprague. Bases on balls—Off Hoffman 3, off Mullikin 1. Hit by pitcher—By Mullikin 2, by Hoffman 1. Struck out—By Hoffman 10, by Mullikin 6. Umpire—Ahlin.
Kansas played a good game Monday and cleaned up the Farmers at Manhattan by the score of 6 to 4. Since the winning streak of the Manhattan boys, they had begun to consider themselves invincible, and the ease with which the Varsity took them into camp came as rather an unpleasant surprise. Hoffman did the twirling and seemed to be in as good condition as on Saturday at Lincoln. His speed was remarkable and the boys gave him better support than they did in the Nebraska contest.
A second game was to have been played yesterday,but on
account of rain it was called off. The boys play St.Marys today and a great game is expected as the St.Marys team has not lost a game this year. Hoffman will probably pitch again.
DRAMATIC CLUB REORGANIZES
Name is Now "The Masque"-New Constitution Adopted.
The old University Dramatic Club was formally reorganized at a meeting of the club last night, when a new constitution was adopted, and plans discussed for the extension of the scope of the work next year. The name of the reorganized club is "The Masque," and the official emblem is in the form of the ancient actor's mask, with a dagger thrust through it. The emblem is now worn by all active members of the club, about twenty-seven in number, counting the director and managers.
The membership of the new club is limited to twenty-five, but plans have been discussed for doubling this number next year, and for giving a number of private entertainments for the members and their friends, in addition to the regular public plays of the club.
Freshman Dance.
The last dance of the University season will be given in Fraternal Aid hall next Saturday night by the Freshman class. As the heat of the season demands it will be a "shirtwaist" party. This will be your last opportunity to dance with your friends before vacation, so you had better be present. The admission will be 75 cents as usual.
Boarding Club.
Students remaining at summer school may obtain board at Mrs. Kinne's, 1132 Tennessee Street. Also several rooms for rent.
Dr. W. C. Payne gave a reception for his bible classes Sunday afternoon.
THE QUILL IS OUT.
Annual Publication of the Club Issued Yesterday.
The second number of the "Quill," the annual publication of the Quill Club was issued by the club yesterday and is for sale at the English office. It is a handsomely bound, thirty-eight page booklet, and is entirely the work of the active members of the club. Among the best features of the book are a story "The One That Stuttered," by R. O. Douglas; The Chief's Bullett," by Minnie Leach; and a characteristic child story, "The Runaways," by Abby Beckwith.
The book is the work of the Graduate Magazine shop, and is one of the most artistic publications ever put out by a University club.
Ex=CHANCELLOR LIPPINCOTT.
Speaks in Chapel=Left University 17 Years Ago.
Dr. Josiah A. Lippincott, former Chancellor of the University, visited the hill today and spoke for a few minutes in chapel. It has been seventeen years since Dr. Lippincott left the University and the profession of teaching. He was succeeded as chancellor by Dr. F, H.Seow, with only a short interval between, in which Mr. W.C. Spangler was acting chancellor.
From here Dr. Lippincott went to Topeka where he was pastor of the first Methodist church for several years. From there he went to Philadelphia to take charge of a large Methodist hospital. He is at present away on a years leave of absence. His son Barlow Lippincott graduated from the University of Kansas in 1887 and is now a prominent civil engineer of Los Angeles. The younger son, Walter is practising medicine at Seattle.

Men Who Were to Have Met Missouri.
An official letter was received from Missouri the first of the week, formally calling off the Missouri-Kansas debate, which was to have been held here May 5. The men who were to contest with the Missourians are John Gage of Kansas City, D.J. Howell, of Marysville, Mo., and Samuel McWilliams of Fort Scott. The personal mention of the men was published in the Kansan May 2.
JAYHAWKER TRACKMEN GO TO LINCOLN FRIDAY.
Driscoll is Unable to Run---There Will be Six Track "K's" This Year.
The track team will leave Friday morning for Lincoln, Nebraska, where they meet Nebraska University in the last meet of the season, on Saturday following. Captain Driscoll, who is still suffering from a lame ankle, will be unable to take part, and the team will be weakened considerably as a result. The best we can hope to do is to make as good a showing against the Cornhuskers as was made in the meet with Missouri last Saturday. The squad that will represent Kansas on the trip will consist of the following men: Acting-captain Young, Siler, Parker, Combs, Miller, Priest, Dennis, Wallace, Putnam, Russell, Johnson. Captain Driscoll, Coach Butler and Manager Lansdon, will accompany the team.
Altogether, the season's results have not been so discouraging as results seem to point out. Much new material has been brought out that will make the team stronger than in several years past, when practice begins next spring. Many of the new men have shown ability to make good records in their first season, but were handicapped in meets with strong teams on account of inexperience. To such is attributed the loss of several races of the Missouri meet. In addition it is said that we are to have an experienced coach next season. Butler has done exceptionally well considering that he has received no pay whatever, and the time he spent was taken from his work in school.
No official action has been taken in regard to the awarding of K's for this season, but the award depends upon the winning of a first place in a meet with a state university, or the breaking of a record on McCook field. Figuring thus, Johnson, Putnam, Miller and Russell are the only new men to receive the coveted emblem, while the "K" men of last year who will receive them again are, Young and Parker. There is a chance that some others of the new men will win some firsts in the Saturday meet.
Mr. J. A. Symonds, eastern representative of the Regal Shoe Co., is at the Eldridge House with a full line of all the new productions of the shoe world and extends an invitation to everyone to call and look them over. Hours from 5 to 9 this evening, and from 8:40 to 4:30 to-morrow, May 24. Yours respectfully, Regal Shoe Co.
