VOLUME III.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEBRUARY 9, 1907.
DEFEAT OTTAWA
JAYHAWKERS WON FIRST GAME BY CLOSE SCORE.
Play Nebraska at Lincoln Tonight.—Four Games Next Week.
Ottawa, Kan., Feb. 8, 1907. Special.-The Jayhawkers defeated the Ottawa basket ball team 37 to 35 in a hotly contested game on the Ottawa court tonight. The Baptists had a slight advantage in the first half, but K. U. came back strong, Hackett, the K. U. center, showing a surprising reversal in form both in team work and free throwing. McCune and W. Miller, the "pony" forwards of the visitors, did some spectacular work in the second half, McCune tossing the winning basket at the call of time. The work of Milton Miller, the Jayhawker guard, made it hard for the Ottawa forwards to score field goals. K. U. used team work to get the ball close to the basket and did not risk long shots, while Ottawa was forced to take long ones on account of the guarding of Miller and Bergen.
Nebraska is to be played at Lincoln tonight. This is the first athletic event between the Jayhawkers and Cornhuskers this year and the men are going in to win. Last year Nebraska was defeated in basket ball 38 to 17; in base-ball we gave Nebraska one game out of four; in football everyone knows the score; in fact we defeated the Cornhuskers in every line of athletics except track last year. The game tonight is the beginning of a new year in athletics.
Next week the team plays the Farmers at Manhattan, the Soldiers at Fort Riley, the Teachers at Emporia, the Methodists at Baldwin, and the Athletes at Newton. These are all hard games, and if the team is able to win half of them in their demoralized condition, Kansas should be satisfied.
Is Making Good.
The University of Kansas Glee Club is meeting with great success on its trip through central and western Kansas. Everywhere the club is meeting with the heartiest kind of a reception. Dances and parties have been given in the boys honor after nearly every concert. The work of the club is receiving much favorable mention everywhere the boys sing. The Club will give a concert at St. Marys this evening. The club elected officers for next year after the concert Thursday night. They are: R. E. Teal, manager and Frank Frickleton, assistant manager and treasurer.

A "HOWLING" SUCCESS.
Missouri Glee Club Pleases a Large Audience.
The University of Missouri Glee Club gave an excellent concert in Fraternal Aid Hall Thursday evening before a fair sized audience. From the standpoint of music, they came up to their advance notices amply. Their voices were good, their selections well chosen and their appearance on the whole decidedly pleasing. Their stunts, however, were way below last year's average and as a general rule fell flat. The much touted swell programs, for which the state of Missouri is said to pay many sheckels, failed to arrive, and the audience was kept guessing whether it was "Turkey in the Straw" or the "Pilgrims' Chorus" from Tannhauser that was being rendered. After the concert those who wished to get their full seventy-five cents' worth stayed for an informal dance and met the Missouri boys. Pryor Combs, a junior in the law school here last year, was one of the soloists of the Missouri club.
Harold P. Chase, editor of the Topeka Capital, and a graduate of Harvard, delivered an address in chapel yesterday. Mr. Chase graduated with a class that contained some of the most eminent journalists in the United States, among whom were William R. Hearst, and the editor of the New York Evening Post.
Harold P. Chase Speaks.
Mr. Chase did not impress the students as an orator, but as an eminently practical thinker. His speech dealt with education and its relation to citizenship. He characterized the last century as the one of greatest social progress in the history of the world, and said that much of it was brought about by the greater education of our times. Mr. Chase is an ardent worker for higher education and has always been a friend of the University.
NUMBER 37
There is a large burnt wood panel hanging in the Registrar's office which was given by the foot ball team for the trophy room in the new gym. It is the work of Job White's brother, R. W. White of Topeka, and has on it the names of all the men who played on the team this year.

GOOD CHANCES
UNIVERSITY APPROPRIATIONS REPORTED FAVORABLY.
Ways and Means Committee Make No Reduction.—State Institutions Fare Well.
The ways and means committee of the state senate has reported favorably on the full amount asked by the Chancellor for the expenses of the University for the next two years. For 1908 the University gets $267,000 for salaries, repairs and general maintenance and $100,000 for a civil and mechanical engineering building. For 1909 the recommendation of the committee is $263,000 in salaries, repairs and general maintenance, and $150,000 for new buildings. The amount recommended is all the University has asked, and it is now thought that the passage of the bill is practically assured. The committee is very earnest in its recommendation that the full amount be allowed. A member of the committee recited the fact that there are in Kansas almost 10,000 students attending state institutions of higher learning, while Kansas has been spending less than any of the neighboring states on its institutions.
The total appropriation for all state institutions reaches the sum of $1,937,034,the largest in the history of Kansas. The state university of course receives the largest sum of this. The state agricultural college also receives $220,000 for new building. Senator Miller expressed a prevailing sentiment in a speech before the committee when he said: "Our educational institutions come to us this year asking the largest appropriation in our history. We have held them back from session to session until in some departments, at least, they are at a standstill in the midst of a commonwealth which is making wonderful progress in every line of social and industrial development. I realize the earnest spirit of economy which should guide us, but I am in favor of dealing liberally, progressively and broadly with our educational institutions and allowing them to take a rank where the greatness of our state demands."
Class Dates Changed.
The Freshmen-Junior and the Sophomore-Senior basket ball games will be played at eight o'clock Monday night instead 4:30. The Freshmen-Senior and the Sophomore-Junior games will be played at 8 o'clock on Wednesday night instead of 4:30. These changes have been made to remove the conflict with the lectures of Dr. Charles S. Minot.
DR. MINOT'S LECTURES.
Harvard Man Gives Course ot Five Next Week.
Dr. Charles Sedgewick Minot, professor of Histology in the Harvard Medical School, will begin his course of lectures on Biology and Philosophy Monday afternoon.

The course concludes with a chapel address on the last subject Friday morning. Professor Minot is one of the most brilliant exponents of science in the country. He is considered an international authority in the field of embryology. He is president of the Boston Society of Natural History, and belongs to numerous scientific societies both abroad and in the United States. He has written many books and essays on embryology and other branches of his profession.
The Pi Phi Party.
The Pi Phis gave their annual spring party in F. A. A. Hall last night. Kelley's orchestra, hidden behind a beautiful bank of palms and ferns, furnished the music. Dean and Mrs. Green led the grand march, which started at nine o'clock with about 120 couples in line. In the receiving line were: Mary Hayden, Mable Marsh, Mrs. Marsh, Marjory Marshall, Claudia Pendleton, Mrs. Weaver. Nelle Mitchell, Lucile Dillard, Agnes Evans and Mary Murvine gave out the programs of plain white, bearing the Greek letters of the sorority on the cover.

The Cottlow Recital.
The piano recital by Miss Augusta Cottlow of Boston in the University chapel Wednesday evening was one of the most thoroughly appreciated musical events of the year. Miss Cottlow is an artist of the highest class and her interpretations of the difficult selections Wednesday were excellent. Her technique was almost wonderful and brought forth much applause. This was the third number of the course of artists recitals that is being given at the university this winter.
