K. U. WINS TWO GAMES
Aggies Fall Before Craig and Smee; Kansas Loses to St. Mary's College
Two Conference games won from the Kansas Aggies, and a non-Conference defeat by St. Mary's, was the result of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday's foreign invasion by the Jayhawk baseball team to Manhattan and St. Mary's. Craig and Snee were the heroes in the two Conference wins, while Smith and Porter pitched in the lost game with the Catholicus.
Two professors who recently were reprimanded by the Board of Administration for breaking the rule against smoking in the buildings were sweeter. In one case, editors fogged up the lecture room in Snow Hall, and the journalism offices.
As an initiation for the new chief of police, the policemen of Lawrence yesterday paddled Captain Boyd under the old gag of guessing how much he weighed. While students usually set the "billies" to be $15, the "coppers" were not so considerate, but used their regular "billies," to good effect—so Mr. Boyd said.

While the Jayhawker was giving statistics on powder it might have stated that the K. U. women use more than the combined European armies.

LORENZ HUNTS ATHLETES:
Takes Gym Classes to McCook In Search of Material
There may be some new athletes on the University track team. H. A Lorenz, instructor of physical education at McCook College, is holding trouts on McCook Field for the men in his gym classes, and if any show exceptional ability he intends to recommend them to Coach Hamilton, as possible Varsity material.
Send the Daily Kansan home to the folks.
"There are men in the University," said Mr. Lorenz this morning, "who would make good athletes if someone would just find them and make them to work. Some of the fellows in my Gym classes have the physical makeup of athletes, and, if I am not mistaken, a few of them are good athletes." It is my endeavor to find such men as may be of use on the track squad and to hand their names to the coaches. It is then the business of the men in charge of the track athletes to see that these men get to work."
The freshmen men at the Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind., have set aside a day for burning their special class head gear, a small green cap, similar in shape to the freshmen headgear at K. U. This is the one big event in which the upper classmen cannot take part.

K. U. ORATOR SECOND
Havinghurst Takes Part In Interstate Contest at Omaha
Clarendon Havinghurst, who won first place in the state oratorical contest at Topeka, came out second in the interstate contest at the University of Omaha, last Friday, May 5. He represented the State of Kansas in this contest and his subject was, "The Coming Conflict."
Francis Case of the University of South Dakota took first place, speaking on "The Modern Paradox." The entering states took place in the following order: South Dakota first, Kansas second, Iowa third, Nebraska fourth. Missouri fifth and Colorado sixth. The man winning first place in this interstate contest will go to the national contest at Lake Mohonk.
"I believe," explained Dr. Naismith "the reason that so many persons drown is because they think that they can do it without practice as they could at the end of the summer's training. This they cannot do. As a matter of fact, without practice one can not swim and could have gone with regular practice.
"Each day that the weather is fa-vorable the gym classes will go to the lake and anyone who wishes to join them is welcome to do so.
There were five judges and their marks for the man winning first place were two firsts and two seconds, for Havinburgh they were two firsts, two seconds. He also received one hundred per cent on thought and delivery.
YE SWIMMERS BEWARE
"Anyone found swimming in Potter Lake without a gymnasium instructor present is liable to arrest," said Dr. James Naismith this morning. "Each instructor is deputized to see that this rule is enforced."
All Who Swim in Potters Lake Unattended by Instructor Liable to Arrest
"Another thing to bear in mind is that the lake is not like a river where the water is constantly in motion, but it is still and the water can be warmed there. It is also that there is a warm layer of water, underneath which is a very cold area. When one is swimming near the surface he does not come in contact with this cold area, but should he rightly swim through it and cramps are likely to set in. If the students could only realize this I believe that they would be more careful."
"I should advise," continued the Doctor, "anyone who has not had any practice this winter and who wishes to go out with the classes to come to my office and have his heart examined. The heart like any other part of the body becomes run down if it does not get the necessary exercise."
George Davis, of Scottsdale, a sophomore in the College in 1914, who has not been in school for the past two years, said he was on his way day. He came to hear Mr. Sunday.
Plans are under way for a new hospital at Ya-li College in China. A campus is being planned for which twenty acres of land have been purchased outside the city wall of Changsha, and $56,000 has been raised by Yale men to construct buildings on the plot.
Only five institutions whose attendance is over 600 do not admit women. These universities are Parthmouth, Harvard and the University of Georgia.
In addition to the usual number of college clubs, the University of Michigan now has a bicycle club.

LEARN RULES OF THE GAME
Football officials are to be taught new plays introduced into the game in a school conducted by Dr. James Naimsmith, physical director, if the plan of Dr. Bert Kennedy, physical director of Washburn College, is realized.
FOOTBALL OFFICIALS WILL
"In recent years," says Dr. Kennedy, "many football officials have not kept up with the times and have not followed them to the east. Consequently, when a coach uses any of the "new stuff" in a game, such plays may be ruled out by the officials as inseligible. The officials 14, 28, and 31 often especially given to these practices."
A schol such as Dr. Kennedy is urging Dr. Naismith to start would fix a standard for officials and also establish a list of accredited officials. Football games would then be judged by competent and up-to-date men.
EDUCATORS INITIATE
Phi Delta Kappa Lock-Steps
Pledges at Cameron's
“Fall into line. Cut the comedy and mind your step,” was the command that the new members of Phil Delta Kappa, educational fraternity, received as they set out in a line of eight, chained and practically gagged, from Myers Hall, Saturday afternoon to nice littleJAunt to Cameron’s Blur.
The lock-step was rigid and unrelenting and the guards saw to it that it was kept. Loaded with pots and pans and food enough for twenty-eight, the meek and unsumming bunch of educators marched down Indiana past sympathetic, pretty girls and scandalized dames.
Cameron's Bluff was a long, weary way and the lock-step became a limp before a halt was called. A steak roast served to restore the patience that had reached the point of rebelled. The tramp home finished the day.
The initiates were: Otis Burra,
Frank Smith, George Burry, Carl
Scheffler.
'16 GIRLS PLAN MIXER
The men at 1017 Indiana have been compelled to use the neighbors' telephone for making dates this year, on account of having only a Home phone, so there was much rejoicing Saturday when a telephone of the neighbors were uncovered, abundance soon changed to gloom and to some doubt as to the reliability of the new instrument, for every man who used it the next day put "stung."

Will Meet Wednesday to Picnic on Golf Links, Rehearse for May Fete
Senior women will hold a mixer on the golf links, Wednesday evening for the purpose of practicing for the May Fete. The women are asked to meet on the steps of Robinson Gymnasium, Wednesday evening at five o'clock and bring fifteen cents. They will then go to the golf links where they will have a picnic supper. The rest of the day is spent in the fete. All senior women will have parts in the fete as attendants of the Alma Mater.
"This is the last chance the girls will have to practice, and it is necessary that all come who possibly can," said Clare-Gene Dains, this morning.
By all sorts and manners of methods students sought relief from the suddenly-arrived hot weather yesterday. The Kaw River received its share of relief seakers, who report that the old river has lost none of its water and that it is no longer there. Other students discovered that the golf links is a good cool place to take one's books and actually "study." A few who live near North College spread quilts under the trees on the hill and spent a peaceful afternoon buried only by the fluttering maple seeds and by the shifting sunlight.
Those editors who made rash promises of summer jumps in order to obtain another onion or doughnut at the store should be surprised if taken at their word.
The annual of the University of Nevada will be issued next year without containing any advertising matter from the Reno merchants. The merchants claim that it is charity pure and simple to advertise in the annual publication, which will the student publications if they are made to subsidize it every year.
