UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME II.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 26, 1906.
CATHOLICS WON
ST. MARY'S NEEDED SIXTEEN INNINGS TO DO IT.
Kansas Took Two Games Yesterday----The Visitors Were Rather Easy.
The record game of the season was played at St. Mary's Wednesday when the Catholics and the Varsity battled sixteen innings before the deciding score could be driven in by the former. Hoffman and Bakule were the opposing twirlers and a battle royal was waged between the two best college pitchers in Kansas. Although Hoffman allowed a few more hits than Bakule he more than made up for this by fanning 17 men, while Bakule struck out 12.
From start to finish Kansas played gilt edged ball. Everyone fielded in fine fashion and every run with the possible exception of the last one was earned.
From the eighth to the sixteenth there was "nothing doing." In the last inning Burns for St. Mary's was hit by a pitched ball and after stealing second came home on an excusable error by Hetherington. This was undoubtedly the best game ever played by a University team. The spectators at St. Mary's almost went wild when their team finally won.
Neithe1 side scored until the sixth when St. Mary's touched up "Hoffy" for three safe ones and added 3 scores. Kansas got busy in the eighth and drove in three runs making the score a tie.
This makes the ninth consecutive victory for the Catholics. A return game will be played here Monday, June 4th.

Kansas took the whole thing in a doubleheader yesterday afternoon by defeating Friends College of Wichita and Southwest Kansas College of Winfield on McCook field. The first game was a slow one with the Quakers to blame. Kirmeyer pitched a good game, allowing but five hits and issuing two passes. The runs made by the Quakers came in the sixth inning on a double by H. Davis and a single by Wentworth. The score:
Kansas...0 2 1 1 0 3 2 0 x-9 9 8
Friends...0 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0-3 5 1 2
Batteries, Kirmeyer and Brookens,
Davis and Outland.
Meade was in great form in the second game, allowing but two hits and fanning seven men. The game was full of snap, and good plays and it looked for a time as though the team might suffer a defeat. The scoring began in the fourth,
when the Kansas boys fell on Terrance for three hits. Wilson and Justice led in the bating, each getting a two base hit scoring a man each time. The score:
R. H. E.
Kansas...0 0 0 3 0 1 0 0 0—4 3 3
Winfield...0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0—1 2 2
Batteries: Meade and Brookens;
Terrance and Walford,
A change was made in the lineup of the Kansas team on account of the absence of "Spide" Bailey from his position. Johnson was put at short, Wilson at third, and Justice put in Wilson's place in left field.
UP TO REGENTS
ATHLETIC BOARD ADOPTS GENERAL ASSESSMENT PLAN.
Will ask Regents to Allow Registrar to Collect--Two Dollars the Amount Admits to Everything.
At a meeting of the Athletic Board this morning the general assessment plan was unanimously accepted, and the Board of Regents will be asked to permit the Registrar to collect the assessment at the opening of the university next fall. The various classes of the University pledged themselves to the plan early in the present semester, and it has been only a question of the practicability and amount of the assessment. All you have to do next fall is to pay your two plunks—look pleasant—and go to everything without worrying about the expense.
NUMBER 67
PHI BETA KAPPA ELECTS.
Twenty Seniors Have Received the Honor this Year.
Three seniors were elected to the Phi Beta Kappa last night making a total of twenty elects for the year. The new members are Olive Collins, of Lawrence, Amy Langworthy, of Leavenworth, and Aileen Weaver, of Lawrence. Under the constitution adopted this year by which only one-fourth of any class may be elected, it would have been possible to have only three more members out of the class '06. The other wearers of the key this year are: Helen Alder, Frank Barlow, John Bender, Mary Bennett, Hedwig Berger, Ellen Boyle, Mabel Kent, Grace McKnight, U. G. Mitchell, Ella Nash, Maude Olander, Georgia Pilcher, Arthur Pitcher, Mary Smith, Ben Stelter, Maude VanCleve, and Margarethe von Unwerthe.
Sigma Chis Won.
The Sigma Chis won the inter-frat baseball championship in a one-sided game this afternoon. Batteries: Sigs, Bailey and Fry: Betas, Griggs and Humphrey. Score was 17 to 1.
Students who wish profitable employment for the summer should call on E. Edwards, 832 Kentucky. No experience required.
SOPHS ARE CHAMPIONS.
Defeated Freshman Lacrosse Team This Morning.
The Sophomores won the class championship in lacrosse this morning by defeating the strong freshman team by the score of 8 to 3. The game was fast and good plays were frequent. All the members of the soph team played a star game, the chief offenders being Bischoff, as a defensive, and Weldon as forwards. Clark came in for his share of good work. Weidlein and Capt. Downs excelled for the freshmen. Davis was injured in the last half by getting his shoulder, hurt first in basket ball last winter, thrown out of place. H. Angney took his place. Professor Emerson acted as referee. The members of the victorious team will get numerals, which were voted at the class meeting yesterday, in case the boys won.

LAWS ARE CHAMPIONS.
Sophomores Play Poorly in Last Game.
The game for the championship of the school was won by the Laws this morning. The Sophomores, while they played a fairly good game, were off at critical moments and the "Green Hall" boys took advantage of every misplay. Dodge was on the firing line for the '08 men and was very wild, giving eleven passes. Benson was hit as hard but had better support. "Fog" Allen's unassisted double play was the prettiest of its kind seen on McCook this year.
Class Luncheons.
After the alumni address on Wednesday, June 6, the visitors and members of all classes may get luncheons ready served at rooms 5 and 11. Fraser Hall, at 25 cents per plate.
The purpose of this arrangement is to enable the faculty, graduates, their families and friends to remain on the hill not only to enjoy a picnic luncheon on the campus, but also to be present for the program given jointly by the seniors and alumni at 2 o'clock in North Hollow.
All those wishing to participate in this luncheon either by classes or with party of friends should secure tickets at once at the Alumni Headquarters, Room 3, Fraser Hall, or Registrar's office.
Mrs. C. F. Tripp of 1340 Kentucky Street has several excellent modern rooms to rent to ladies or gentlemen during the summer school. Light house keeping may be done.
UNIVERSITY DAY
STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES MAKE SENSIBLE TALKS.
Some Reforms Are Suggested-- Plan for University Club Explained.
The University chapel was crowded yesterday at the last assembly of the year, and it was an appreciative gathering that welcomed the student speakers, D. J. Sheedy, G. Clyde Baldwin, and John F. Bender. The speakers dealt largely with matters of real concern to the students of the University and showed that they took the occasion seriously.
D. J. Sheedy spoke first, and after taking a good natured fling at a few tender spots, devoted his time to the consideration of the status of the professional schools. His contention is that they should have the same representation in class affairs, the Prom, the annual, the Play, and other like affairs that the College and Engineering schools have.
G. Clyde Baldwin made perhaps the most serious and important talk in advocating the organization of a University club to harmonize the factions into a real unified university life. He took the position that the lack of sympathy between various interests comes from narrow circles of interest. "The club would teach the Y. M. C. A. fellows that T. N. E.'s are not all bad, and the T. N. E.'s would find that the Y. M. C. A. badge is not a sign of narrow-mindedness. The barbs would see good fellows in the frat, and they would find the barbs a likeable set of fellows."
John F. Bender spoke on the freedom of modern college discipline, and evidently drew some of his conclusions from the conditions here. He contrasted the antagonism of student and instructor of a couple of decades ago with the feeling of candor and sympathy that now exists between faculty and students.
Chancellor Strong, in closing the chapel exercises, expressed his appreciation of the sentiments voiced by the speakers, and declared his hope that the custom of a University day each year might become one of our traditions.
Freshman Football Jerseys.
The Freshman Class has at last purchased the jerseys for the Freshman football team. Fog Allen a member of the队, was sent to Kansas City last Saturday as a representative of the class to make the selection. The jerseys are the very best quality that could be bought in Kansas City. They are blue and will have the class numerals '09 in red on them. The team made an enviable record last season in not having been scored against once.
