KANSAS VERSUS HAWAII TO OPEN 1915 SEASON
Games With Fast Chinese Team on McCook Field Thursday and Friday
RED CRAIG TO PITCH OPENER
With Strong Battery and Fast Infield McCarty's Jayhawkers Begin Season at Home
Prof, E. W. Murray, chairman of the eligibility committee on athletics, said at noon today that he thought every player would be eligible for tomorrow's games.
Tomorrow afternoon on McCook Field the 1915 Joyhawker baseball team will make its formal debut in the annual game with the fast Chinese team from the University of Hawaii. This game is always one of the hardest of the season, and the way the Chinese have been winning on their tour of the States this year shows that the Varsity will have its hands on the game. We will visit a 64-year history for a two game series, and a victory over this aggregation would be an auspicious beginning of the season.
In the last few days the Varsity has shown unusual interest in practice and the team that will line up for the game tomorrow will be in the best condition. A satisfactory battery seems to have been found, and with the amount of material which McCarty has had to work with, the team looks good for a successful season.
Players in Good Condition
The first game of the two with the Orientals will see Craig doing the hurling for Kansas with Captain DeLongon on the receiving end of the battery. Craig has shown up wonderfully in the practice games and has the speed and control of a vet, but he is slated to pitch in Friday's game while Fischer, Moss and Stiller will be waiting on the bench ready to get into either game if needed. The changing of DeLongon from second to catcher places the position behind the bat in a much more dependable aspect than it has been in practice games and it has been used at second until a catcher can be used at relieve DeLongon who wants his old berth back again.
Infield Looks Good
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 14, 1915
The initial sack will be covered by Spruell when he is not on the mound, while Lindsey will be used as substitute in this position. Wood will take care of short stop with King in charge of the third sack.
"We have at last lost an infeld that is showing some class," said McCarty yesterday during practice. "The men are showing more speed today than I have seen in them this season. DeLongy will do the catching for us and the whole situation looks good to me.
"The outfield has been such that it could be depended upon all the time, for with Chinnery and Wandel back in their positions the only place left to fill in the gardens was right field, and Wieble has filled that. Beside we have Hewlett and Moor in case we can be judged. The team will be to balance now and the only way we can judge them is to wait and see them in action."
As an extra inducement to interest students in baseball, Manager Hamilton today placed season tickets that admit to the ten games of the home series on sale for two dollars. Tickets for each game will be fifty cents. Tomorrow's game will be called at 4:30 o'clock.
The line up of the team as they will start the game tomorrow will be: Sproull, 1b; Russell, 2b; Wood, ss; Seabrook, 3b; Heywood, 4b; Wieble, 5b; Delongy, 6b; C craig, 8.
CADY WANTS WHITE
CROSS PLEDGES PAID
Prof, H. P. Cady, chairman of the White Cross committee at the University, asks that everyone who has been an inearrent and is in arrears to pay at once.
At the present time $1,500 remains to be collected. The committee is charge wishes to make good the wages of its institution pledges for Belgian relief.
Becomes Honorary Society
The Home Economics Club by unanimous vote of its members became an honorary society at their meeting yesterday. Members hereafter will be elective and selected from among them. The club formerly took anyone who was interested in the work.
CONCEIT LIKE PRIDE GOES BEFORE THE FALL
Tennis Net Causes Disaster
He was a long, lean, and remarkably spry youth down on the tennis court, and while he waited for his partner, he put in his time by showing off before a couple of women, and then trying to wield the racket. He chased their wildly soaring balls, plucking them from the atmosphere, digging them from ditches and fishing them from mud paddles, all the time addressing the audience about the weather, the crops, and the appropriateness of red hair ribbons to tennis women. When they rested, he entertained them by marvelous stunts with his rocket spinning it, tossing it and balancing it on his nose and in many ways showing cones what a remarkable youth he was.
Suddenly the ball, propelled by a muscular feminine arm, smiled to the far end of the court away from the smart young man. With a light and graceful bound he was on the court in pursuit. The net was no barrier for him. He gathered himself together and prepared to bound lightly over it. Alas, he had miscalculated. With a rending of net and a creaking of posts he descended to earth and knocked at the racket so proudly was ground deeply into the bosom of old mother nature.
The curtain of charity descends on the scene at this point, but not before the two tennis maids are heeded to giggle unsympathetically.
WILL STAGE DRAMATIC CLUB PLAY TONIGHT
Gives"The Man From Home' in Bowersock Theater at 8:15 o'Clock
The newly organized Dramatic Club of the University of Kansas will make its initial bow before a student audience tonight when it presents The Man Prose, an exhibition in four of the Bowersock Theater. A cast of fourteen, selected in competitive tryouts from the members of the Club, has been rehearsing steadily for the last two months in preparation for the annual tournament. Neither trouble nor expense has retarded the efforts of the players in producing the show. "Everything gives promise of a very credible performance," said Prof. Arthur MacKinnon, the show's running manager, and I feel sure that the show will "go over it as should."
Following is the cast:

"TheMan From Home." by Harry Wilson and Booth Terrace,
is a drama in play, and has been featured extensively by leading players during the past two years. Only a little over a year ago, William K. Hodge appeared in it at the Shubert Theater in Kansas City, the play at that time being on what is known as "big time." This season it is being used by prominent stock companies throughout the United States; the company at the theater writing it not less than as city stars in the movie. That it will make good in college circles there is not the least doubt.
The curtain rises at 8:15 o'clock.

PI U'S ANNEX
Sigma Phis the Victims in a Close Battle, Marked by Wear, Hitting.
The "fatal sixth" was too much for 'Cozy' Cazier, the Sigma Pi twirler and when the smoke had cleared away he found that the Pi U.s had forged ahead of his mates and that the game had faded away. Steady pitching by Stockton and the "circus" catch by Harsh saved the game for the seventh and today another game has gone into their W column in the league standings. The final score was 3 to 2.
The Sigma Phis started with a rush, before Stockton could locate the platter, but when he got going he had them eating out of his hand. Weak hitting and numerous errors marked the playing but it was a "nerve-wracker" from the spectators' point of view.
FACULTY'S TO HAVE CHICKEN PIE SUPPER

LARDNER HERE TOMORROW
But Two of Twenty-Three Books
Checked Out Have Been Turned in
M. Lordner's audit takes the place of the one formerly made by Edward E. Brown, whose office was abolished. This year for the first time uniform books and instructions were provided free from the state printery.
Registrar Foster has several times made announcement of Mr. Lardner's wishes in the matter, but the organizations have not responded. Out of a total of 65 coming under Mr. Lardner's inspection, but 23 have ever checked out books. What course the secretary will pursue is not known. He has told us that regularities in accounts will be carefully investigated. It is probable that he will call for an accounting from each of the secretaries.
When James T. Lardner, financial secretary of the Board of Administration, comes to Lawrence from Bangalore, he organizes organization account books issued by Registrar Foster under his direction, he will find two of the 23 sets of books issued ready for his collection, and theophone class and the Jayhawker.

Berg Takes Position
W. I. Berg, a graduate student in the department of entomology, has accepted a position in entomology in the Kansas Agricultural College.
PROBABILITY CURVES
NOT ALWAYS PROBABLE
Can't Read Profs' Minds
A mathematics student took a quiz the other day and, to find out how much he got, consulted the apparatus showing the probability curve. This is an example of a vertical position and standing in a horizontal position. A large mass of very small balls about the size of small shot are dropped from the top, striking projections as they descend, thus throwing them back and forth. They finally fall into a trough parallel to each other at the bottom, forming columns of different lengths.
"Now if this column is the largest, as it usually is," said the stude, pointing to the middle one, "I'm going to get a I plus in that quiz."
The balls started dropping. The middle column was largest: Then the one next to it caught up and just barely edged ahead.
"There goes my I, 1 bet that prof,
doesn't know how to grade those papers," the math stude uttered.
He has put it.
But suddenly he saw the middle column of balls nudge ahead again with a sprint.
His face brightened. There was still hone.
But the column could not keep up the pace, and it fell behind again.
"Oh heck! I don't believe in those old probability curves anyway," he muttered, as he slammed the paper on the floor.
CHANCELLOR TO SING AT OLD SONG SERVICE
Will Take Part in Convocation for Rendering of Old Ballads
Everybody out to hear Chancellor Strong sing one of his favorite old time songs in a convocation for the rendering of old ballads which is to be held at 11:30 o'clock Friday, April 29
Chancellor Strong's favorites are: "Rocks of Ages," "Comin' Thru the Rye," "Old Kentucky Home," "Massa's In the Cold, Cold Ground," and "Asplee in the Deep." Just one of these he will sing at the concerts has been announced if it is likely that if his first rendition is applauded sufficiently he will come back stronger with his encore number.
The convocation committee is arranging a program for the entertainment and besides having the head of the University as one of the songsters she may seek a feminine subject. She may sing with Chancellor Strong.
root, F. R. Hamilton has suggested that students become familiar with the once popular and now never-to-be-forgotten airs so that at the convocation the chapel will echo and reecho with tunes that undoubtedly will remind us of the older professors' classes will be dismissed at that
Classes will be dismat- sors of their younger days. hours the professors are trying to make this the largest convocation of the year.

TO HAVE STUDENT LOAN FUND GOING NEXT YEAR?
Board Believes It Can Obtain $25,000 for Helping Under-Graduates at K. U.
MEN WANT TO CONTRIBUTE
President Hackney Says Large Amount of Money Could be Secured Which Student Might Borrow at Low Interest
If the Board of Administration succeeds in carrying out its plans, a student loan fund will be in operation here next year that will enable students to complete their four years by the means of borrowed money.
Seniors Forced to Quit
At a luncheon held yesterday in Myers Hall, professors and members of the Board discussed the proposition thoroughly and it was favorably received from every angle. Prof. E, F. Engel, who is secretary of the system now used in the system now used is good as far as it goes. But there is only about $226 in the treasury now, however, and only small loans can be made.
According to a report that was made by Registrar George O. Foster, several students, some of them senior, attended an online semester on account of the lack of funds to carry them over until they would be able to obtain work. One hundred dollars has been the limit, when a student has borrowed from a lender, for cases that has been insufficient. Con Hoffmann, who is at the head of the employment bureau, also showed the necessity of having a fund that could be extended necessary credit to students in order that they finish school.
Will Push Question
President Hackney of the Board of Administration declared that he believed it would be possible to obtain a fund of at least $25,000 for the proposed purpose. "There are men in the state who are interested in sending money to the school," it is more than likely that they would contribute funds to a loan board if the board was conducted on a business basis", he says.
Members of the Board of Administration expect to work on the question and push it with all their might and considering the fact that the faculty are in favor of the movement it is more than likely that next year a student may apply to the Board and by paying a very small rate of interest, funds may be borrowed for from one to four years and this way comprise his education.
