SENIOR PLAY A HIT
Alton Gumbiner's Portrayal of K. U. Life is Well Received
The senior play "Copping the Grapes" by Alton Gumbiner, which was given last night at the Bowering Theater in New York for success. It was written about K. U. by a K. U. man and contained much local color and many local hits.
Sidney Moss as the financially embarrassed student, who decides to write a play in order to get home Christmas to Alice Dearring, showed K. U. man, and Beulah Dearling of a real
The scene was in the D. K. E. house the night before the prize dramatic closed. The prologue and epilogue presented the author in the inspiration to write and the winning of the. The two intervening acts were the result of a writer, in which a gentleman burglar holds the whole room in his power at the point of a revolver, is finally overpowered and taken in charge by a policeman who decides the booty is too good to miss and so turns the tables and plays the part of bandit. The director then faces some of the fraternity brothers who declare the whole thing is a joke to keep Allie from working on his play.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 27, 1916.
Ed Boddington as a philosophising burglar was capable of working on the sympathies of the whole crowd—with the exception of Mrs. Woggs, who continually repeated her refrain that "It is terrible, terrible."
Fred Whitten made an excellente graft seek policeman. John Hamilton, Paul Rathfon, Bob Smith, John McCommon, Hector Dodge, Jimmy Rodyd, Moore and Guy Waldo repressed the loving Fraternity brothers.
Roddy Moore as the politician and Guy Waldo as the wit pitched off some good speeches. Kenneth Lott, as the abused and indignant freshman, scored his dear brothers—until they turned tables and brought out the paddles.
Prof. Arthur MacMurray coached the play. Don Burnett was manager. The house was packed. No long waits occurred during the play.

Behold, thou hast made my days as it were a span long; and mine age is even as nothing in respect of thee; and verily every man living is altogether vanity.
Lord, let me know mine end, and the number of my days; that I may be certified how long I have to live.
LUCY RICHARDS
(1893-1916)
For man walketh in a vain shadow, and disquieteth himself in va. i; he heapth up riches, and cannot tell who shall gather the m.
And now, Lord, what is my hope: truly my hope is even in thee.
Deliver me from all mine offences; and make me not a rebuke unto the foolish.
When thou with rebukehs dost chasten man for sin, thou makest his beauty to consume away, like as it were a moth fretting a garment; every man therefore is but vanity.
Hear my prayers, O Lord, and with thine cars consider my calling; hold not thy peace at my tears;
For I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner; as all my fathers were.
O spare me a little, that I may recover my strength:
before I go heme, and be no more seen.
—From the 39th and 90th Psalms.
FALLS DEAD NEAR GYM
Lucy Richards, Sophomore, Dies Suddenly on Way to Tennis Course
HEART FAILURE CAUSE
Courts
Had Taken no Exercise—Pulmotor Failed to Save
WAS INVITABLE—DR. SUNDWALL
Dr. Sundwall, who assisted in the post-mortem examination, said that the death of Miss Richarda was due to
Lucy C. Richards, a sophomore in the College, fell dead at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon of heart failure as she was walking down the path to the field to practice with Ruth Endick, '18 College, for field work. They were tossing pebbles over the Hill, when Miss Endick saw Lucy Richards fall to the ground. She attempted to pick her companion up thinking she was going to die. Richards' heavy breathing alarmed her, and she immediately ran to Dr. Alice L. Goetz, professor of physical education for women.
"When I reached Miss Richard, I took her pulse," said Dr. Goetz, "and I felt but one beat. We used artificial respiration for a few minutes until we could get our pulmotor, and also sent for the larger pulmotor at the city fire department; but neither was effective in producing respiration. Miss Richard had stopped breathing because she had not been more than three minutes after she fell, that I felt her last nausea beat."
WORKED FIFTY MINUTES
After using the pulmotor for fifty minutes, hope of revivirg Miss Richards was given up, and her body was taken to the home of James B. Carper, 1000 Illinois, a friend of her family. It was later removed to Funk's undercarriage. The quest held last night gave the cause of death as heart failure.
Miss Richards' parents were notified and the body was taken this morning at 11 o'clock to her home at Minneapolis, Kans.
HAD NOT EXECURED
"There was no chance of saving Lucy Richardson's Nismith smith this morning, 'her heart' had stopped when Dr. A. L. Goetz reached her. There was not much oxygen in the pulmotor as it had been used on a little girl the day before and so we telephoned immediately to the Law Office motor which they brought up within ten minutes. Dr. S. A. Matthes did everything possible to start the heart with no success. I do not know what brought on the attack as Miss Richards was not exercised strenuously at all. She and another "woman" while driving stones and as they each stooped over to pick a stone Miss Richards fell. Dr. Goetz was immediately called."
HAD TAKEN NO EXERCISE.
"I am not a doctor, I did not cause the death of Miss Richards," said Dr. Geeta, this morning. "She and Miss Endacott had just dressed in gym suits for exercise and were leaving the Gymnasium to go down to the tennis courts. They were just a few feet away from the side entrance when Miss Richards fell. Her companion attempted to pick her up but he was too heavy. Miss Richards may office and heavily. She may office and hurried and reached Miss Richards within three minutes after she had fallen. Her heart was beating its that then. Miss Richards had taken no exercise and seemed to be in normal health, her acquaintances said. She was active in women's sports and was used to physical endurance. In physical examinations "bicker over a year" before finding to be normal. No hereditary disease was discovered. Such deaths are unexplainable. Nothing we could have done would have saved her."
IN MEMORIAM.
fatty degeneration of the heart and nothing could have prevented her death.
Lucy Carney Richards, a sophomore in the College, died suddenly on Wednesday.
Miss Richards was born April 4, 1893 in Minneapolis, Kan. She was graduated from the Minneapolis H. S. in 1913 and after taking a graduate course in high school, spent several months qualifying herself as a bookkeeper, for the sake of the business training.
She entered the University in the fall of 1914. She was brilliant in her studies, and showed conspicuous ability in women's athletics. During the war she was one of the most active and reliable reporters on the Daily Kansan. It was her intention to fit herself for newspaper work, and the quality of her writing showed great promise. Much of the matter on her letters appeared in the Daily Kansan of later days from her pen. Her fellow students and her instructors never failed to find inspiration, encouragement and good cheer in the spirit which she brought to the faithful and conscientious readers, could always be expected from her.
Miss Richarda was one of five sisters, one of whom, Hazel Richarda, was graduated from the University last year. She was very active, and was physically so strong that nobody suspected her real condition.
"Lucy was always the boy of the family," said her father to a Kansan reporter his morning. "She had an especial place in her heart for small boys. She liked to participate in their sports and games. They were devoted to her. She had a large and loyal following of them, and had a particular dislike for what she called 'sissy boys', and if any one of her, young, followers had tendencies that were not properly masculine, she made it her business to redeem him. Many a boy will be able to look gratefully back on my daughter as a determining and benefactive influence in his life." Like the young boys whose companionship she loved, she was aliachief, fun and harmless mischief; and we would tell her that she was a greater cut-up than any of them.
"Her influence on girls, however,
was equally marked." One summers she
organized a crowd of Blue-Bird Girls,
took long hikes under her leadership.
"Last summer she went to the exposition at San Francisco, and did a great deal of mountain climbing, in which she became members of the party in endurance.
Mr. Richards left for Minneapolis this morning, with his daughter's flowers to hand off. As a token of journalism, have sent flower as it token of, their sense of loss.
"She was a skilled mime and this gift, together with her high spirits, made her the life of every crowd. She was an invertebrate reader—a fact which was evident in the quality of her academic work."

SENATOR WILSON TO
TALK GOOD ROADS
State Senator Walter E. Wilson, of Washington, will speak Friday afternoon, April 28, at 4:30 o'clock in the lecture room of Snow Hall. Senator Wilson is a K. U. alumnus and will spike on "The Economics of Good Roads."
This lecture is one of the series given by the departments of economics and political science and was to have been given some time ago. It was then secured by a lecture secured by the department of sociology for the same time.
IS SUNDAY WELCOME?
Faculty Divided Over Evangelist's Visit to K. U. Next Month
When ten members of the faculty were asked yesterday by a Kansan reporter whether they approved of Billy Sunday's being brought to the University, six were in favor of it, two were non-committal, and two Prof. F H, Hodder and Prof. C S. Skilton, were against the idea.
PROF. HOODER CALLS HIM "VULGAR"
"I can only repeat," said Professor
Hooder, "what I have said before. I
have been exhaustively, quite explicitly,
the height of vulgarity. I do not expect him - to corrupt the students' English, neither do I expect him to do it any good. I do not think it would be a good thing to stamp of approval on a man of that type. I don't blame the students for wanting him. They would go to hear him as they would go to see a circus. They are not responsible for getting hurt." Mr. Hoodyer was the executive force of the University."
Professor Skilton takes practically the same stand. He said, "I don't approve of Billy Sunday's volcanic sentiment," and he favored of having him come to the University. If he came, he would be an object of curiosity, nothing more. The churches and religious organizations are now cared for the religious lifes of the school."
It could not be learned what Prof. H. A. Mills thought. He said when he was concerned Billy Sunday's coming, but none that I care to express."
Prof. C. G. Dunlap also was reluctant in expressing his views, "I have a deep sense of guilt, mock, and consequently I have no opinion one way or the other," he said.
"GLAD TO HAVE HIM" — CHANCELOR Chancellor Strong said: "I have no objection whatever to Mr. Sunday's University refusal, but the University refused to invite Mr. Day to speak there, the University of Pennsylvania gave him a cordial invitation. That rather evens up the matter. I understand too, that the largest crowd ever assembled for a public address at Princeton met to hear Mr. Sunday. No doubt the objections of the University authorizing its issuing. Since he has already been invited, I shall be clad to have him."
Dean Blackmar: "There is just as much reason for having Billy Sunday as for having Bryan, Roosevelt, or President Wilson. I am not pleased with Sunday's methods. They are entirely foreign to what I would advocate, but he is certainly getting where he needs to go, where other people have failed. As far as achievement is concerned, there is no greater man, at present, in the United States than Billy Sunday, and there is no reason why he shouldn't come to the University, just the same as any other famous speaker."
"WANT to HEAR HIM - HOPKINS"
Prof. E. M. Hopkins said; "I have never heard Mr. Sunday speak. If I were acting as representative of the University, I should vise him, but I see not reason why he should not come under the auspices of the Y.M. C. A. or upon the invitation of the student body. Personally I should like to hear him at the University. I think he could be depended upon to give a talk entirely suitable for the place and the occasion. If I thought otherwise, I should of course not wish to have him come."
ELDERKIN KPW
"I so need no reason to Billy Sunday shouldn't send the Rev. Noble S. Elderkin, when asked for his opinion.
"There abrupt, pointed remarks that jar us are often better for us than the softer, more polite phrases. I was never for Billy Sunday until he went to the University of Pennsylvania and got away with it. A man who can teach you a student body must have something in him. He made a big hit at Princeton, too. I understand. I happen to have a brother there at present and he reports the sermons as 'great stuff.'"
Ada Dykes College Speaker
Ada Dykes will represent the College on the Students' Day program May 19 at the University. She was elected at a mass meeting of College students today noon. Last year Miss Dykes' brother John Dykes spoke for the Collargiers.

In the center of this square, during the interval between the second and third courses of the three course luncheon, the guests will dance. Two cabaret performers will do character and ball-roon dances during the final hours of the play. Frank Hetherington, '17 College, and Mrs. Kate Drisdom, well known caterer, will serve the refreshments.
A thirty-five minute intermission will occur at midnight, between dance numbers 16 and 17. At this time the Soph Hop farce, "Oh! Oh! Oh!" will start with the dance of twenty, and a student orchestra of seven. Seat checks for the farce are to be given out early in the evening when the guests first enter the Gym. "The first guests to arrive will fence the best seat," said Manager Chris this morning. "One simply can't afford to be late to this party."
