THE KANSAN. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS VOLUME II. FRESHMEN WIN LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 2, 1906. FIRST DEBATE GOES TO LOWER CLASS. It Was a Close and Interesting Contest=-Class Support Very Light. The freshmen won the first inter-class debate Monday night with the sophomores. The contest was a very interesting one because of the fact that it was a match of intellects instead of the time-honored match of brawn. The judges were Regent A. C. Mitchell, Professor L. E. Sisson, and Charles V. Jones, a law attorney at Clay Center. The freshmen received two votes and the sophomores one. The freshman team, composed of Clyde Fife, Tom R. Gowenlock and Henry C. Waters, defended the affirmative, and Miller McCreary, Ansel Clark and Omer Miles the negative. The question debated was: "Resolved, That Congress should delegate power to a commission to fix and regulate railroad rates." The best work of the evening was the speech of Henry C. Waters of the freshman team, who did much toward winning the debate. He presented his argument in a clear and forcible manner, outlining a plan of rate regulation and substantiating it by argument which the sophomores were not successful in refuting. Ansel Clark was a strong speaker on the sophomore team. He made a very able speech and refuted practically all of the argument that had been advanced by the affirmative. He contended that such an act on the part of Congress would be vesting too much power in one body. The debate was opened by Clyde Fife, freshman, followed in order by Miller McCreary, sophomore; Tom R. Gowenlock, freshman; Ansell Clark, Sophomore; Henry C. Waters, freshman; Omer Miles, sophomore. Clyde Fife made the rebuttal speech. Tom Gowenlock, the second speaker on the freshman team, produced good argument for his side and his argument was well presented. One point advanced by him was that the establishment of a railroad rate commission would do away with long litigations. His summary was good. Omer Miles proved clearly the one point of unconstitutionality. He referred to the system of differentials now in operation between New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, which r revents the centralization of trade to one port, New York, as an example of the successful operation of rebates. The support in the audience was about equal between the two classes. Both classes engaged in a lung contest before the debate began. John Bull and Charlie Hoar played a mandolin and guitar solo at the beginning of the debate and Mr. Tuthill sang a solo after the contest was over. Both of these were encored. The attendance was good and much enthusiasm was shown. There was every indication that these debates will attract much interest in the future. Phi Gams vs. Alpha Tau. The Phi Gams defeated the Alpha Taus in the first baseball game of the inter-fraternity series on McCook field this afternoon by the decisive score of 13 to 7. Clark played the star game for the Alpha Taus Score by Innings. R H E Phi Gams 1 3 0 2 1 3 0 3 x 13 10 3 Al. Taus 0 2 0 2 0 3 0 0 7 5 15 Batteries: Phi Gams, Hetherington and Campbell: Alpha Taus, Clark and Forber; umpire Johnson. Sophs Defeat Freshmen. In the first inter-class baseball game the Sophs easily defeated the Freshmen Saturday afternoon by the score of 13 to 9. The '09ers were erratic throughout the game ane except two dis astrous innings when 5 scores each were made, the game would have been close. Score by innings: R H E Fresh 0 0 0 0 1 3 3 0 2 9 12 Sophs 0 5 1 0 2 5 0 0 x 13 13 4 Batteries: Soph, Dodge and Coleman; Freshmen; Doubleday and McKibben; umpire, Morgan. 1706 Enrolled. Charles H. Landrum, of the class of '05, completed his enrollment in the Graduate School today. His enrollment makes 1706 on the University register for this year. The enrollment this year has fully met all expectations and a similar increase will make a total close to 2,000 by the end of next year. The Men Who Will Meet Missouri May 5. KANSAS DEBATING TEAM. Next Saturday evening, May 5, is the ninth annual debate between Kansas and Missouri in the University chapel. The judges for the debate are all lawyers from Kansas City. They are Judge H. Field, Judge James Ellison, and Judge E. P. Gates. The men who will represent Kansas are: John Gage, D.J. Howell, and McWilliams. John Gage, a junior in the College, is a graduate of Central High School of Kansas City in the class of 1903. He is a member of X Y Z literary society, and of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. D. J. Howell is a junior law, and a graduate of the Marysville, Mo., high school in the class of 1905. He was president of his graduating class, and did some debating. He is a member of the Athenian Senate. NUMBER 60 Sam McWilliams graduated from the Kansas State Normal in '97 and enlisted in the 23rd regulars in '98, going to the Philippines. After finishing his term of enlistment, coming out as corporal, he entered the U. S. mail service for two years. He has a considerable reputation as an elocutionist in Fort Scott. The Missouri debaters are Clarence A. Cannon, M. C. Burk and B. G. Clark. Mr. Cannon, who leads their team, is a first year lawyer, and a graduate of William Jewell College. No Iowa Debate? Chapel exercises will be held from 10:45 to 11:30 Friday morning, to allow time for the arrival of Dr. Sanders, who is to deliver the address: The periods will be 8 to 9, 9 to 10, 10 to 10:45, and the last period from 11:30 to 12:15. Late Chapel Friday. The secretary of the Debating Council has as yet received no reply from Iowa with reference to the Inter-State debate, which Iowa asked to have called off. It is very improbable that any debate will be held. In this event the council will have a small balance in the treasury at the end of the year and there is a general sentiment in favor of using at least apart of it to buy pins for the teams. TWO GAMES FIRST MEETING WITH DRURY IN BASEBALL. The Missourians are Strong Track Meet With Ottawa Saturday Afternoon. The Jayhawker baseball team will play the Drury College team from Missouri on Friday and Saturday of this week. The Drury team has defeated the strong team from Arkansas University. This year is the first time that Kansas has engaged in athletic contests with this school and from the class of football they put up last fall there is no doubt that they will give us a hard game upon the diamond. Hoffman is certain to pitch one of the battles and Kirmeyer or Jones will occupy the box in the other game. The Kansas supporters should be exceedingly proud of the batting record of our team at this period of the season. Out of 17 times at the bat in the last four games Capt. Johnson has hit safely 11 times, making a per cent of 650, and closely following him are Bloss, Brookins, Brown and Young. The average of the entire team is almost 250 now, while at the end of last year it was less than 200 percent. The next contestants of Kansas on the track team will be Ottawa University, which will allow themselves to be measured by the strong Kansas team on Saturday. The Ottawa team is a stronger aggregation than that of Emporia College, so track enthusiasts may look for a good contest. They are reported to be exceptionally strong in the sprints and the weight events and have a relay team that is hard to beat. This will be the last opportunity to see the Kansas team in action before they meet the strong teams of Nebraska and Missouri, and at which the mettle of the boys from Kansas will be severely tried before they bring victory home. The meet will precede the base ball game between Kansas and Drury college. C. O. Pingry went down to Topeka last evening to attend the Republican State Convention. Bicycle Playing Card's at Vic's.

The best of feeling is felt here for Kansas University over the debate. The courteous treatment we received from K. U. is duly appreciated and Baker students are anxious for an opportunity to return similar treatment. It is much nicer to have such friendly relations with sister colleges than to have any ill feeling or harsh thoughts for them.-Baker Orange. The freshman-sophomore debate is well on its feet and promises to be an event of importance in class affairs. The crowd Monday night was but a handful in comparison to what should have been there, and the debate itself was more of the short order variety than should be the case in the future. Considering the time possible for preparation, the debaters were without exception good, and give promise of being strong recruits for the debating force next year. Saturday evening of this week Kansas and Missouri will meet in debate for the ninth time. The debate will be a good one and well worth the support of the University. In the regular order of succession it is the time for Kansas to lose, as success and victory have alternated almost without exception. There is no good reason why this should not be the exception, for we have a good strong team who have been consistently at work for the last two months. Come out and help defeat the Tigers. We should have a crowd like the Baker debate-That's the kind every debate should draw.

U. to be proud of the victory. She certainly had one coming, judging from all the vain attempts she has made from long ago to the present date; but if K. U. wins the return game, why Baker will be badly fooled. That game, of May 7, will be in every way THE game of the season. Baker will win that game sure. We know and appreciate the strength of our players when they are together, and the B. U. team will have the proper support when the K. U. boys come here. A picture for exchanging half cabinet with K.

The junior civils discovered a very touching scene on the farther side of the golf links a few days ago while doing some practice work in surveying. Two people were sitting on the green sward, evidently enjoying the scenery and fine weather. By using the transit as a field glass, the engineers discovered that it was a popular co-ed and her best fellow-or at least the evidence of the transit showed that he was in high favor. It is rumored that the surveyors became so absorbed in watching the progress of the couple, that they got their work mixed with other things and that their data looked like notes for a popular love story.

ONE GAME EACH DRURY TOOK THE SECOND GAME EASILY. KansasWas Out of Luck->Visitors' Errors Cost Them Little. In the first inning Kansas scored two, through a base on balls, an error, a sacrifice and a hit. In the third they took another and in the sixth two more. In the eighth Wilson made first having been hit with the ball, and followed by Bailey's long drive, both were scored. The college men in the second reached first on an error followed by three passes and a two bagger they scored four. In the ninth they scored three more on an error and three singles. Kansas won the first game from Drury College of Springfield, Missouri, yesterday by the close score of 8 to 7. Kirmeyer pitched the game for the Jayhawkers and except a flight into the air in the third inning when he issued three passes to first, he had the college boys guessing. Captain Johnson played a brilliant game at third, handling two hot drives that looked like hits. The heaviest batting of the year was done by Spide Bailey who connected once for a three sacker and again for a home run. Brookins caught two difficult fouls and succeeded in handling all irregular balls that came near the plate. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 5, 1906. R. H. E.

Drury easily took the game today by the one-sided score of 8 to 3. Kaufman pitched a splendid game for the visitors, allowing but four hits, one of them a home run by Wilson in the eighth. Jones allowed nine hits and errors in the field, allowed three runs in the second. The visitors seemed to get their hits in the most opportune times, while Kansas seemed out of luck all around, and Wilson's home run brought but one score. R. H. E.

Allen Speaks. Mr. H. J. Allen, of the Ottawa Herald spoke to the Newspaper classes yesterday on "Political Newspaper Writing." The talk was crisp and to the point, and one of the best this year. He said in part: "To be an expert writer of political news, a reporter should have imagination and constructive genius. He should be well read and informed on the leading questions of the day. There should be no coloring in reporting political news, no use of fine literary expressions, but a clear, concise, and accurate statement of facts. Be honest and fair, giving all men the benefit of a doubt, but above all be truthful in your report, do not let your reader lack information concerning a political controversy." German By Laboratory Method. Professor E. F. Engle, of the German department, has a new plan for teaching beginning German, called the Laboratory Method, which he has been using this year. Bymeans of picture charts, the student learns an extensive vocabulary, and fixes it in his mind by associating the word with the picture, and original sentences are written and corrected in class. The student learns at once to express his thoughts in German and easily learns to speak the language. Much more work can be done in this way. The idea received very favorable comment at the Teachers Conference. The contract for the construction of the laboratory and administration building at the University Medical School at Rosedale was awarded by the Board of Regents at noon today to the Urban Construction Co. of Kansas City, for $16,824.

Mr. Harger says that the great western story is yet to appear, and that it must be on the line of John Fox's "Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come." He declared that William Allen White was one of the leading western men in current fiction, and especially commended his plan of localizing all his stories. Sickness of Men the Reason. The Next Meet at Missouri. OTTAWA DECLARED MEET OFF Manager Lansdon received word from Ottawa University Friday that Ottawa could not meet K. U. in the dual meet here Saturday on account of the sickness of her star in the weight events. This leaves only the meets with Missouri May 12 and Nebraska May 26. As these meets are held at Columbia and Lincoln the students will not be able to see the team in a real meet this year unless Manager Lansdon secures the strong K.C.A.C. team for a dual meet on McCook, June 2. Either the Kansas City team or the K.S. A.C. team will be willing to come here on that date, but it is improbable that any attempt will be made to have a meet that late in the year.

The debating management of Missouri practically cancelled the Kansas-Missouri debate yesterday by refusing to leave Columbia until all three of the judges for the contest were chosen. They did this after the Kansas council had made all the concessions and offers to avoid the difficulty that common fairness could suggest. The trouble arose in selecting the two judges from the list of ten which Missouri submitted. The two who were announced in the Kansan on Wednesday were taken from this list, but could not serve, as they were all lawyers, and very busy. After Missouri refused to submit other names, the Kansas council selected four other names from the original ten, but Missouri wired the failure to get them to act. Later it was learned through a Kansas City man, that one of them, a Mr. Ball, would act. Missouri was notified, and Kansas suggested that he and the other judge taken from Kansas' list should choose the third. Missouri not only refused, but would not accept the man they had proposed, "because Kansas had communicated with him." They still insisted that the other two judges be chosen from three remaining of the original ten names, and as one of them was a graduate of Missouri and another now has a son in the University of Missouri, Kansas very naturally refused. There is a very strong feeling here that Missouri is trying to get out of the debate, and at the same time shift the responsibility to Kansas. For this reason the council offered to grant any reasonable concession to avoid the break. If the postponed Missouri debate does not take place, the persons who bought tickets can get their money back from the men who sold them the tickets. There is a possibility that the debate will be held next Saturday. B.A.EARHART, Business Manager Business Manager. Everybody Is Going to Baldwin to See the K. U.-Baker Base Ball Game.

SATURDAY, MAY 5.1906 The difficulty in the choice of judges for the Kansas-Missouri debate which was to have been held tonight, was nothing but an over-zealous suspicion on the part of Missouri that somebody was trying to do them. Such a setiment and such a spirit in matters of this kind are unworthy of such an institution as the University of Missouri should be. The debating management showed the same spirit last year in the choice of judges, and Kansas had to start to Columbia for the debate with only two judges. This they did as the only way to keep from calling off the debate, and then after the contest, in which the Missourians were fairly beaten, the Independent came out in a lurid editorial, accusing Kansas of unfairness, and even hinted at a stolen victory. In the matter this year, Kansas gave everything in reason and still Missouri was not satisfied. They refused to accept a Kansas City man as a judge whom they had proposed, because the Kansas men had gotten in an indirect way, by telephone the information that he would serve. When the other men proposed by Missouri, could not act, Kansas offered to have the man chosen from our list and Kansas City judge referred to choose the other judge. This Missouri refused to do and would not leave Columbia until all the judges were chosen from the list they had submitted, not another of whom could serve. What Missouri needs is a debating council with proper appreciation of the dignity which a state institution should have. The only trouble that exists is in the morbidly suspicious minds of their student council. Nearly three hundred young men and women will receive degrees from the University of Kansas this year, and will scatter over the state to take up their share of the work of citizenship. They will do their part, there is no doubt of that, and the doing of it is the only advertising that the University needs. If they show, by their attitude toward things, the fruit of the time spent on Mt. Oread, the purpose of it all is fulfilled, and others will follow. It Didn't Stop. A couple of gallant young men, prominent in the university started out to Haskell the other day to see a ball game, and to meet a couple of equally well known Baker ladies, who had been seeing the sights at the Haskell Indian school. They were walking on the Santa Fe tracks, and "hopped a freight train, thinking to get off at the Haskell station. The train stopped a mile beyond Blue Mound, and it was dark when the strays got to Haskell. The girls had disappeared, strange to say. Gets Bryn Mawr Fellowship. May Clark, of the graduate school, who has held the fellowship in European History in the University this year, has been awarded a $600 fellowship in History at Bryn Mawr for next year. The fellowship was secured largely by the excellence of Miss Clark's M.A. thesis on the "Lords of Trade" which was sent to Bryn Mawr. Chicago Cuts Michigan Game. The athletic authorities of Chicago University have decided to cut the Thanksgiving game with Michigan from their schedule, and have asked Michigan to release them from the contract for the next year. The reason given is that the proper spirit does not exist between the two institutions and that the annual game only makes the condition worse.

Guiding Sunday School people over the campus has its amusing side along with the other things. "Are you the guide? Well we want to see that liquified airing machine. Oh is this it. Well it's boiling isn't it. Now how much colder would it have to be to make ice?" This came from the tall angular woman, who was taking notes for future use. "Do you know William Hinkle? You don't! Well that's funny. He's a specialist. He said he enrolled as a special, but I forgot what in." By this time a crowd of forty elderly ladies surrounded the guide. "Oh isn't it grand up here! Such a magnificent hill. What an inspiration! The very poetry of nature. Everything so lovely! Oh young man you have a wonderful opportunity, and let me impress on you, every moment ought to be of use to you." "Are you a student?" asked one. Well! and a guide too! Hurry up Lizzie! here's the guide." The young man gazed thoughtfully at North Hollow where "the other fellow" was entertaining "the girl," and—thought so too. "And this is really the Museum! Well! Isn't it beautiful! Do they get all these things in Kansas?" "Yes Ma'am" cheerfully replied the guide. "One of the most interesting things about this exhibit is the natural spring you see trickling down the rocks" he continued. "Oh is it natural! Lizzie do come here and see this real spring bubbling down the cute little mountain. What song of joy." "What time is it, please? 4:30! My gracious, we must hurry. We're going to Haskell. We're much obliged." The young man fell over on the campus and grinned as he turned his watch back half an hour. Clothes cleaned, repaired, and pressed $1.50 per month. Phone 506.

The French department presents the annual play next Friday evening in F. A. A. Hall. The Mandolin club will furnish special music between acts. The synopsis of the "world of boredom," as the play is called, follows. zanne reading something, find an excuse to send her from the room and read the letter which she has hidden under a book. They think it is from Bellae to Suzanne. The story centers about the Duchesse of Réville's desire to marry her nephew, Roger de Céran and her favorite niece, the charming Suzanne de Villiers and Madame ce Céran's attempt to defeat this plan and have her son Roger marry Miss Lucy Jackson, a wealthy English girl. In the first act Paul and Jeanne Raymond, newly married, arrive to spend some time at the home of Madame de Céran, for Paul, sub-prefect of Agenis, hopes through her influence to become prefect. Then Roger returns from a trip to the Orient and the Duchesse at once brings up the subject of Suzanne, arouses Rogers jealousy toward Bellac, a professor popular with the ladies. Suzanne returns suddenly, having left Bellac's lecture, as soon as she heard Roger was expected. By what she says of Bellac she confirms in Roger's mind, what the Duchesse has intimated. Soon Bellac arrives with a "body guard" of ladies, eager in their praises of his lecture. As they all leave the room Suzanne hears Lucy ask a servant about a letter on pink paper which she lost. This was a note from Bellac to Lucy, which read: "I shall arrive Thursday, meet me in the evening at ten o'clock in the conservatory. Have a headache." Suzanne, who has just found the letter, reads it, and thinks it is from Roger to Lucy. Roger and the Duchesse see Su- The second act opens with Saint Réaul just finishing a lecture, and then the guests adjourn to another room to hear a reading by the poet. Roger, Madame de Céran and the Duchesse stay behind to watch developments. Presently Jeanne escapes from the reading to meet her husband alone for a few minutes. At a loss for an excuse, she finally says, "I have a headache," and goes on. Then Lucy appears, and she, too, gives "a headache" as her reason for leaving. Finally Suzanne comes. She succeeds, after a while, in getting away from them, and when they ask why she is leaving the reading she says: "I have a headache." In the third act the meetings take place in the conservatory, with the Duchesse and Madame de Céran concealed to watch. Paul and Jeanne come first but soon the squeaking of the door warns them some one else is coming, and they start away, but come back and hide. It is Lucy and Bellac. Lucy demands an explanation of his note. In the midst of their love making they are startled by a laugh from Paul, and hastily retreat. From what Lucy says about losing the letter, the Duchesse sees through it all, and when Roger and Suzanne come, each expecting to find the other with some one else, she manages to bring them together and leaves them. Roger supposes that Suzanne takes him for Bellac, and Suzanne that Roges takes her for Lucy. Each is determined to find out how far the other has gone. When Suzanne can stand it no longer, she jumps up and tells him she is Suzanne not Lucy. After mutual explanations they find out how things really are, and that they love each other and not some one else. The Duchesse takes things into her own hands, and in the last scene announces the engagement of Lucy and Bellac, of Roger and Suzanne, and promises that Paul shall be prefect.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 9, 1906. Kansas Batted Mason Hard--- Strong Wind Made it Disagreeable for the Spectators. Kansas more than evened things up with Baker by defeating them on their own ground Monday by the score of 13 to 4. Although the day was not an ideal one, about 300 rooters accompanied the team and from the comparative yelling of the two schools, an outsider would have imagined that Baker was playing away from home. From the moment that the excursion reached Baldwin, the K. U. contingent took possession of the village, and at no time were the Baker's much in evidence aside from the ball game. Only one incident occurred to relieve the monotony. In front of Hobb's grocery, hardware, and general merchandise store while struggling to divide some yellow bunting which the store keeper had hung out as a supposed adornment were treated to a volley of eggs. However, liquid chicken put no damper on their spirits. The game started at four o'clock and for two hours Kansas tried to make as many runs as possible, while the spectator would have imagined that the Methodists were trying to out do each other in juggling the ball. Mason was as easy as usual and Johnson's men had no trouble in making seventeen hits. However the miserable support that he was afforded, would have dampened the ardor of any pitcher.

The feature of the game was Bailey's home run in the second inning and the heavy batting of Johnson and Brookins. The latter secured two three baggers. Umpire Felix, of Ottawa, gave satisfaction and his decisions could be heard all over the field. The score was: The young men of the Quivera Club of 1312 Vermont Street, will give their annual party to the ladies of the club on Saturday evening of this week. Leaders in perfumes and complexion creams. Dick Bros. Quivera Club Gives Party. MISSOURI MEET SATURDAY. Track Team Goes to Columbia Friday---M.U. Claims New Records. The track team will leave Friday morning for Columbia for the track meet Saturday with Missouri University. The men are all in good shape, and the meet will be very close. The latest advices from our neighbors are that they have made new records that will put them ahead of the records of our best men. They assert that Larue, is throwing the hammer over 134 feet and Jackson has the credit of running the two mile in the best time of 10 minutes 3-4 seconds. Kansas will concede the two mile race to Jackson, but as to the hammer throw, though we're not from Missouri, we've got to be shown. Tidd and Jenkins will have to make record time to take the half mile race from Miller and Siler, while Driscoll and Dennis will not be far in the dust at the end of the 100 and 220 yard dashes. The meet is looked upon as the first real try out of the Kansas team against formidable opponents, and will give the first good comparison of the abilities of the Kansas team and the Nebraskans. The squad that will represent Kansas will number, besides Manager Lansdon and Coach Butler, twelve as follows: Capt. Driscoll, Young, Parker, Priest, Barnard, Miller, Dennis, Johnson, Wallace, Russell, Putnam and Siler. Cast of Characters for This Year's Production. The last hard practice will be held this afternoon, and the men will be in the pink of condition for the meet Saturday. FRENCH PLAY FRIDAY NIGHT The following is the cast of characters for the French play to be given in Fraternal Aid Hall Friday evening: SCORES "MUCKERISM."

Galloway; un domestique, Kenneth Campbell; Servantes, Lillie Bernhard, Rillie Bernard. Manager Lansdon Talks Plainly on Athletics. Mr. W. C. Landon, general manager of athletics in the University, made a very plain and straightforward talk in chapel Tuesday morning on the value and standing of college athletics. He enumerated some of the advantages of a thorough athletic training, and justified the existence of our athletics on that ground. In closing, he deplored what he termed "muckerism" in all athletic contests, and declared that the true sportsmanlike spirit is best shown by leaving both teams entirely on their own resources to play their game. "I never like to hear a fellow say that he and three hundred others got out on the sideline and won the game in the last few minutes by their yelling and jeering," said he. "It is a better spirit that does not try to make the visitors forget what they came for by dint of the noise that can be made." PLAY WASHBURN FRIDAY. Only One More Game With a State School. The Jayhawker base ball team will play the Washburn team on McCook Friday afternoon of this week. The team from the Congregational camp has not made a very enviable record yet this year but you can put it down that they will deliver the best they have when they go up against the Kansas team. The University boys this year are not respectors of the denominational schools. 275 Receive Degrees. Iowa Proposes Debate Question. The Presbyterians from Emporia failed to even get a close glimpse of third base and the Wesleyan followers at Baker were unable to annex a victory in either game played this year. After Washburn, Friday the Catholics from St. Marys will be the only school of the state left. Two hundred and seventy-five seniors will receive diplomas at the forty-fourth annual commencement of the university, Wednesday, June 6th. This will be by far the largest class ever graduated from the university, showing an increase of 75 over last year's class. The college will furnish nearly half of the graduates, the senior class in that department numbering 124. The first class to receive M. D. degrees from the university numbers 63. The law school has thirty-three candidates for degrees, followed by the Engineering school with 32, the Pharmacy with 16 and the Fine Arts with 7. Iowa has submitted the following proposition for its next year's debate with Minnesota: "Resolved, that the cities of all the U. S. should seek the solution of the street railway problem in private ownership." Minnesota will have to report its choice of sides by May 9. STILL UNCERTAIN NO ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE MISSOURI DEBATE. Missouri Refused to Send Representative to Kansas City. Debate Probably Off. No satisfaction has as yet been received from Missouri as to the annual debate which was to have been held last Saturday evening, and in all probability the debate is off for good. After the failure of Missouri to secure the judges suggested by them and accepted by Kansas, Missouri was asked to send a man to Kansas City to confer with a representative from Kansas about a later arrangement for the debate, but this Missouri refused to do. The most of the difficulty at Missouri, so far as can be judged from the correspondence, lies with the student members of their debating league who have carried on the most of their negotiations. One of the things that Missouri has alleged in the despatches to the Kansas City papers is that Kansas has been dilatory. Just two days after the list of judges sent by Missouri's student secretary were received here, a faculty member of the league wrote to know why the judges had not been chosen, as he thought the list had been sent for more than a week. Kansas is still willing to arrange a later date for the debate, but the attitude of Missouri seems to indicate that there is slight chance of an agreement. Sophs in Trouble at Minnesota. A number of sophomores at the University of Minnesota have been called before the faculty for an attack on the freshmen who were giving a dancing party last week. The sophs rushed the hall where the dance was held and were repulsed by the freshmen just as the police came on the scene. The sophs turned their attention to the cops and showered them with eggs and stones until they withdrew. It is expected that the leaders of the attack will be expelled. Tennis Tournament With Baker. Arrangements are under way for a tennis tournament to be held with Baker University some time this spring. The matter of selecting the University team is being pushed, and the entries will be closed on Friday of this week. Tennis has been very much in the background as a student sport at the University for a long time, but of late there has been a growing feeling for the game, and the tournament that is being arranged is one of the results.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 1906 UNIVERSITY CALENDAR. Friday, May 11. Friday, May 11. Mrs. Bellville-Brown, Pres. of Federation of Clubs speaks in chapel. Kansas-Washburn base ball game on McCook field. French Play in Fraternal Aid Hall. The Methodists were delightfully generous in their way of dealing out the score to the base ball team-another case of a Baker's dozen. Thirteen to four is the way Baker's epitaph looks to us, and after three weeks of boasting about what their team would do when Kansas came down there. They certainly did it. Our team earned about half of what they got in the way of score, and the rest was "what Baker did to them." With a part of what Manager Lansdon said in chapel yesterday morning, if literally taken, we cannot agree. But when he condemned "rattling" a visiting team as unsportsmanlike, if he intended to score a lot of inane roasting of the individual players that is usually evident, we are with him heartily. Cheering is all right in any quantity and all the time, so long as it is good-natured and directed to the encouragement of the team. Without it there would be no interest in a contest, and the spirit which is half the value of school athletics would be lost. Why do we go to college? Did you ever closely question yourself? Have you ever tried to figure out just why a higher education attracts you? Do you come to college to play or to grind, or to mix just enough play and enough grind to make life worth living? Some of us come to work, but change to play. A few, very few, come to play and change to work. Around us we see both the player and the grind. If we are freshmen we have the chance to choose the footsteps of either. If we are upper classmen, we discover that our pathway is already well defined. To a greater part of the outside world the college career consists of four years of devilment, pipes and cigarettes, liquor and bulldogs, or things which produce thin, sickly looking individuals who know nothing outside their books. The outside public should recognize that a college-bred man is not the rough-housing, harum scarum sart of being, nor the tall, weakeyed cadaverous individual, who furnishes material for the comic supplements. The Chancellor has spoken of making the Junior Prom the "main social event of the year," and that everyone should strive to make it such—that the WHOLE SCHOOL should be interested in it. It seems to us that such sentiment is inconsistent with the fact that Senior and Middle Laws were not invited to the Prom. Possibly it is a little crude to knock because we are not participants, but it is our idea that if the Prom is for the Arts and Engineers—(well and good, we have our Fall Law Party)—then it should be known as such and not as a whole university function, for when anything of the latter sort happens we of the Law School wish a chance to help to make it a whole school affair.—Lawyer. The above extract from the last number of the Lawyer states an objection on the part of the professional men of the University that is not altogether without some reason. As a mere matter of consistency, it seems that it would be right that for this occasion all men who will receive degrees should at least rank as seniors. The editorial is reprinted by request of some of the professional men who now have no part in the annual university event.

It isn't strange, however, that "particular" people, who have looked at Clothing in the other stores cease to look further, once they have seen Ours! It's very annoying to have to look about for Clothes. "I've been buying Clothes at So-and-So's, but I like your clothes so much better is an expression frequently heard here. It's annoying.

Carl Miller, who was a student at Leland-Stanford University until the recent earthquake disaster there, is here visiting Philip Nelson and other friends at the University. Mr. Miller was an eyewitness of the disaster, and gives an interesting account of it. The splendid new library building yet unoccupied and the new $350,000 gymnasium were completely wrecked. The memorial arch and the dormitories were badly damaged, and many of the class buildings were seriously wrecked. The University will, however, open for its summer session and for the regular fall term in September. Light on Iowa Debate. A general attack by the Daily Iowan on the debating management at that institution throws some light on the Kansas-Iowa debate deal which was dropped on the responsibility of the Iowans. Kansas was to have met the law school team, but the original date conflicted with a debate that another team had the same night. The following seems to indicate that there was another reason back of it: "The laws got ready to meet Kansas, and a merciful Providence prevents a meeting which would have furnished an opportunity for another defeat. The University gets no glory out of this sort of thing, nor do the men get much benefit." The Iowan wants to take the debates from the control of the schools and literary societies and throw them open to all the University. Workmen, Notice!

Sprained Ankle Keeps Plucky Captain at Home---Chances of Success Are Lessened. The chances of Kansas in the Missouri track meet were considerably lessened Thursday night when Capt. Driscoll sprained his ankle so severely that he was unable to walk and the team went to Columbia without him. Worse still it is quite probable that it will keep him out of track athletics the rest of the season. This is unfortunate as it comes at a time when we meet our strongest contestants, And every man is needed. The necessary change in the way the men enter the events, with Capt. Driscoll's absence, will probably deprive Kansas of first places in the 100 and 440 yard dashes, and will give Missouri a place in the high jump, since Young will not enter in that event, in order to make sure of a place in the 440 yard dash. "Cap" Young will be acting captain. The squad that made the journey to the Tigers den was changed somewhat from that given out in Wednesday's Kansan. Siler was unable to go account of his studies, and Pringle and Combs were added to the squad. Pringle is entered in the weight events as second man, Combs is entered in the high jump, and in the relay race, if it is run. The running of this event depends upon whether or not Missouri will agree upon a half mile relay instead of a mile. This change was made on account of the necessity of putting a new man, untrained, in that event in Capt. Driscoll's place. Batting Averages. Player. A. B. B. H. Av.

MISSOURI NEXT WEEK. Game with the Tigers Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday and Wednesday of next week the 'Varsity base ball team will cross bats with the Missourians on McCook field. These two games are the last on the home field until after the Nebraska trip. Missouri as usual has a strong team, and the games next week will be worth seeing. The Tigers defeated the Drury college team the first of the week by a score of 4 to 1, making their ninth consecutive victory on the home field this year. It will be remembered that in the last two games with Drury here last week, Drury got rather the better of the score by winning the second game with a score of 8 to 3, to our 8 to 7 victory of the day before. NUMBER 63 FRATERNITY BASEBALL. Sigma Chis Defeated Phi Psis Yesterday---Semi-Final Today. Frank J. Merrill, went to his home in Paola Friday. The fourth game of the interfraternity series on McCook field yesterday afternoon between the Sigma Chis and the Phi Psis. The game was easy for the Sigma Chis, the score being 15 to 1. Only five innings were played as the grounds were wanted for the K. U.-Washburn game. ROASTS FOR EVERYBODY. "7-11-44" Tuesday and Wednesday. Usual Rush for Seats. The first game of the season was between the Phi Gams and the Alpha Taus. It appeared to be an even game for awhile but the Phi Gams took the lead and came out on the heavy end of the score of 14 to 7. The Sig Alphs met an overwhelming defeat at the hands of the Betas to the time of 21 to 1. The Sigma Nus fell an easy prey to the Phi Delts by 19 to 4. To Entertain Missourians. The students in the University from Kansas City, Mo., are planning to entertain the members of the Missouri base ball team when here Tuesday and Wednesday with some suitable event in their honor. Forrest Allen the chairman of the movement has issued a call for a meeting in the chapel Monday at 12:15. All students from over the line are urgently requested to be present. Roy DeVasher visited friends at the University of Missouri last week. The semi-finals for the first division will be between the Phi Gams and the Betas. The Sigma Chis and Phi Delts will play the semi-finals of the second division on next Monday. The victors of each division will cross bats in the final game of the series on May 25. An admission fee of 25 cents will be charged to this last game. Next Tuesday and Wednesday evening the seniors will appear in the annual play. "7-11-44" is a college play with the college spirit, including football. Special scenery has been prepared, and the song specialties by the chorus are all original. The cast has been at work for the past six weeks under the direction of Professor E. G. Frazier. The members are: Margaret Philbrook, Ada Bechtel, Carlotta Clark, Inez Kilgore, Harry Hart, Paul Neff, Daniel Anderson, Emile Brunner, Laurence Brett, Oscar Zimmerman, Glen Parker, Frank Bedell, W. E. Broadie, and C. O. Pingry. The usual rush for seats is on, and since Wednesday morning places have been held in the line at Woodward's drug store for the opening Monday morning. The Ingleman club boys are first in line, having held the place since Wednesday morning. WAS CREDITABLY DONE. Sixth Annual French Play Well Presented. The presentation of the sixth annual French play in F. A. A. hall last night was very successful and a credit to the department and the people who participated in it. The cast was large and good without exception. Hettie Mossler as the duchesse made a splendid appearance and Genevieve Sterling as the countess, and Harold Bozell as her son, were very good. Nina Fell as Suzanne, the vivacious niece of the duchesse, did some of the best acting of the whole cast and made a hit with the audience. After the program the hall was cleared for the dance which was given for the members of the cast and their friends. Newhouse's orchestra furnished the music, and the affair was quite as enjoyable as any formal dance that has been given recently. The '08 basket ball team that won the K. U. championship will receive numeral jerseys. The material for the '08's has arrived and the champions will soon appear in the gym wearing the new jerseys. Should the Soph lacrosse team win the championship game from the '09 team, they too will be given suitable trophies. The Washburn football players have not yet received their sweaters with the blue "W" as the athletic board there is in debt and without credit. The Washburn girls' literary society will hold an entertainment to raise money to buy the sweaters that are stored away in a Topeka dry goods store. This proves that the Washburn girls are the redeeming feature in that institution. A CLOSE GAME WASHBURN WAS NOT EASY AS WAS EXPECTED. Confidence Allowed Three Scores In First Inning.=Hoffman Saved the Day. In a fairly good game K. U. defeated Washburn college yesterday by the score of 5 to4. The team as well as the spectators were expecting the Topeka boys to be a snap but when the latter got the bases full in the first inning and scored three runs, the rooters realized that Kansas would have a run for their money. Meade, while he was not batted hard, was taken out in the fifth inning and Hoffman placed in the box. The latter put a new aspect on affairs and retired Washburn with only one run when the bases were full and no outs. Washburn scored three runs in the first inning. Stahl and White each singled and Mc Campbell reached first on an error by Bailey. Robb fanned out and Johnson batted an easy one to Bailey. However, Nipps the next man up made a single and all three men scored. In the fifth the Congregationalists scored one more run. Farmer and Reigle singled and Stahl got to first on Young's error. At this stage Hoffman came in from right field and took Mead's place. White struck out and McCampbell knocked a hot one to Johnson who threw the pitcher out at first. Farmer scored, however. Robb fanned. Kansas scored once in the second inning and three in the third. In the eighth they added another to win. Spide reached first on an error by Nipps and was brought in by Meade, who fattened his average considerably. In the third Hoffman made a three bagger but was thrown out at home. Bloss, Young and Brookins scored in the same inning. Hetherington scored in the eighth on an outfield fly. Brookens got two hits out of three times up and Hoffman also got two. Score by innings: R H E Kansas 0 1 3 0 0 0 0 1 x 5 6 5 Washburn 3 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 4 6 4 Batteries, Kansas: Meade, Hoffman and Brookens; Washburn: Mc Cambell and Robb. Freshmen Football Numerals. The freshman class voted to use the remains of their surplus funds to buy numerals for their football team. About $50 will be paid out for jerseys bearing the '09 stamp. This action is a little delayed, but it shows the right spirit in the lower class men in behalf of the invincible '09ers. Cap and gown pictures, Squires.

SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1906 The actions which are being taken in giving numerals to class athletes mark another step in the development of class athletics. Inter-class and interschool events are coming to be one of the leading features in University athletics. It is something unusual for a college crowd to clean out such an educational institution as a circus. Those Missouri boys must have been sore because the elephant drank at the hydrant, or perhaps because the tents were proof against "crawling." Some of the incidents connected with the base ball game at Baldwin Monday merit, and have already called down, the general disapproval of the whole university. The men most intimately connected with the affair have very naturally been suspended, but the worst of the matter is that their punishment does not in the least diminish the evil effects of their actions on the institution. The students of Baker will very naturally spread the news of the actions of the representatives of the University of Kansas, and the telling of it will not in the least work to the good of our school. A man's conduct can never be properly said to be entirely his own affair, but when he is one of such a body as this University, whose standing is set by his bearing, it becomes a matter of responsibility to keep his conduct above reproach. The men who were concerned in the affair were representatives of supposedly the best there is in the University, and their fall hurts in more ways than one. It seems of course that in these matters many concerned get off unpunished, but that should not make one lose sight of the principal fact, that the act was unworthy of men of the type that the university stands for. A contributed editorial in the last issue of the daily Iowan has this to say about conditions necessary to a healthy state of affairs in oratory and debate: "It would be no more unreasonable to expect the physical director to produce a winning football team from seven or eight men over whom he had no supervision, than it is to expect the professor in charge of public speaking to bring winning debating teams from a small part of the men of the University, when he has no authority over the submission of the question, or the choosing or training of the contestants. I submit that what is needed in both oratory and debate is men, an interest and supervision. We have the supervision in oratory, but lack both men and interest. If interest can be aroused and an opportunity to compete given, I believe the men will be forthcoming." In a general way the contention is good, and something of the same weakness that the Iowan is delploring exists in the similar kinds of work here. There is no use of ignoring this fact until next year just before the annual debates. Now is the time to start the movement for an improvement. Our debates should be already under way for next year. The questions should be chosen and the important material provided by the library if it is not already in the files. Our debates will never be what they should be until something of the kind is done. Why cannot the thing be done before the end of the year? Mrs. Merrill, of Paola, visited her son Frank at the Phi Psi house Thursday. Clothes cleaned, repaired, and pressed $1.50 per month.

The chapel exercises yesterday were given over to the "Women's Federation of Clubs," and instead of the faculty occupying the platform, all the seats were taken by the visitors, and as Chancellor Strong expressed it in his opening remarks, "we had before us a large number of Kansas daisies." She insisted that the college club women of the future would be better than those of the past and intimated that the male members of the audience would be husbands of the club women in the future. This statement provoked much merriment. Mrs. Brown, of Salina, the president of the Federation, was the first speaker. She confessed that the contemplation of speaking to the students had caused her much more worry than all the duties connected with the Federation. Mrs. McCarter, of Topeka, whom Mrs. Brown had designated as "the best speaker of the Federation," was next on the program. She congratulated the University on its historical location and insisted that the best boys and girls of the State were sent to the "Athens" of Kansas. She modified the statement somewhat by saying that some of the "best" boys were sent to other institutions in order to make it interesting for our football team. The serious part of her speech was devoted to the advantage of "silence," and numerous instances were cited of noted men obtaining fame through the instrumentality of silence. The exercises were closed with a rendition of "Crimson and the Blue" and as a grand finale, Professor Hubach started "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U." A rare opportunity will be given University young women at Y.W.C.A. meeting, Wednesday, May 16, to hear Mrs. Leila McKee Welch of Kansas City, Mo., a Wellesley graduate and former president of the Western College for women, Oxford, Ohio.

The American intercollegiate football rules committee has sent a statement to every college in the country, urging that the institutions do their part in eliminating brutality and rough play from the game. The rulemakers themselves say that they cannot stop such tactics, and that it is up to the college authorities to deal out drastic punishment to offenders. In the statement is an appeal for the banishment for a year of any player committing a second offense in unfairness. "The continuance of football depends upon the spirit in which it is played," said a member of the committee. "We have done our part, now let the college authorities do theirs." Mrs. Rutherford, of Leavenworth, is visiting her son Chester for a few days. Knew His Man at Once. A certain professor who teaches history, accompanied the ball team to Baldwin last Monday. The "boot leggers" of the Methodist town anticipated a "wet" business among the thirsty University boys and accordingly were promptly on hand when the excursion from Lawrence arrived. One Bakerite, who could tell the thirsty ones by intuition, walked up to our professor and attempted to sell him a quart battle of "Quaker Maid." With a look of astonishment the youth quickly disappeared in the crowd when the professor disavowed any intention of even becoming thirsty. Mrs. E. M. Gowenlock and Miss Leah Doling, of Clay Center, were visitors at the Beta house Friday. Mrs. Relihan, of Smith Center, and Mrs. W. E. Best, of Columbus, are visitors at the Sigma Chi house.

Cornhuskers Would Like to Supplant Missouri. In an editorial in the last issue of the Daily Nebraskan, appeared the following statement about the Kansas-Nebraska football game which will be played next year: "In changing the schedule Kansas will in all probability come to Lincoln for the Thanksgiving game. Since Kansas and Missouri cannot agree the Jayhawkers are quite anxious for the Nebraska-Kansas contest. Missouri and Kansas have always had the Thanksgiving date but for some reason or other it is not to be played that way next year." Nebraska has been feeling in the direction for some time, and nothing would please them better than to have their game substituted for the Missouri game on our schedule. Manager Lansdon has received preliminary communications looking to this end, but has very naturally refused to consider them so long as we have the contract with Missouri. So far as Kansas is concerned, the agreement will not be broken, and probably the only ground for the feeling that Missouri would balk was the doubt which existed for a while as to whether she would have a team next year. The recent election of a coach for next year seems to remove this possibility, and so far as Kansas is advised there is no doubt that we will play our annual game with Missouri at Kansas City next year. Lacrosse Teams Busy. The class lacrosse teams have been practicing for the last three weeks in preparation for the tournament to be held soon on the golf links. As yet the game has not received very much support here, but it is steadily gaining in popularity. It is the game for track men as it develops in them the requisites for their work better than any other sport. In the east, it is the next game to baseball and football in the number of devotees. Manager Lansdon is in receipt of a letter from Illinois University to schedule a lacrosse game between the two Universities. In all probability, nothing will be done in regard to the matter until next year when it is hoped better lacrosse material will be available. Dr. Naismith ordered a new set of crosses for the team last night. It was necessary to send to Cornwall, Canada, for these crosses in order to get good material. Cap and gown pictures, Squires.

Y STRONG PLAY "7-11-44" MADE A HIT LAST NIGHT. Is a Popular Football Play---- There Were Many Dramatic Situations. The first presentation of the senior play "7-11-44" in the opera house last night was greeted by a house full to overflowing. The play is a really strong one, has some splendid situations, and the cast is without exception good. It is not without the ludicrous side and Emile Brunner and Dan Anderson as Bob Williams and Bub Hawkins, the verdant freshmen, brought down the house in the second act. "Bob" in his borrowed dress suit, and "Bub" with his pink necktie, made a striking pair. The best acting of the cast was the work of Paul Neff, as Ralph Page, in the role of the jealous lover. He played a splendid part and sustained it throughout the play. Margaret Philbrook, as Virginia Blair, the queen of the hill, played a difficult part well, in her efforts to attract the star half-back strongly enough to keep him in the University. NUMBER 64 The strongest situations are in the third act, in which Harry Hart, as Burton, the half-back admits to betraying the signals to the Colorado team, to shield as he thinks, the girl he loves, and whom he has trusted with the signals. The fourth act which represents the Kansas-Colorado game in progress, is very good and has no mark of amateur work. Burton's vindication and his entrance on the field in time to save the game make the act a very stirring one for a college audience. The cast is: Jack Burton, half back...Harry Hart Bob Shirk, coach...W. E. Broady Andy Gordon, pseudo student... Lawrence Brett Ralph Page...Paul Neff Bub Hawkins, green...Dan Anderson Bob Williams, also green... Emile Brunner Jim Leslie, George Ferris, Sig Alphs ...Glen Parker, Oscar Zimmerman. man. Rev.

The senior annual The Jayhawker for 1906 was on sale at the production of the senior play last night. The books are handsomely bound in full morocco, and are selling at a dollar and twenty-five cents each. The special features worthy of mention are the pictures of faculty, students and equipments of the Kansas City branch of the Medical School. The book is fully up to the usual standard in number and character of pictures, as it is in the lighter material. The annual this year is the work of the Clay Center Dispatch. Notice to Newspaper Students. It seems advisable to change the date of the trip of the college newspaper classes to Kansas City from Saturday to Friday May 25.

OUT OF LUCK KANSAS LOST HER RABBIT'S FOOT YESTERDAY Hoffman Struck Out Twelve Men Justice Made a Home Run. The Jayhawkers lost the first game of the Missouri series yesterday afternoon by the score of 5 to 3. Kansas lost the game through the sheer cause of hard luck. Three times during the game Jordan and Salisbury, the Missouri twirlers were in a hole and just as regular they made a double and retired the Kansans. From the strike out point of view Hoffman pitched a great game, having made 12 Tigers lay down the stick but in the fatal sixth "Hoffey" lost his "rabbit's foot" and for a few minutes the visitors pierced holes through the atmosphere with safe hits. One error at second and a hot grounder, which captain Johnson was unable to field, helped bring in three winning runs for the Tigers. Kansas secured her only scores in the first inning, when Johnson singled and Brookens made first on an error, followed by a home run by Claire Justice. The spectators applauded the fast fielding of Wilson and Bailey in the fifth when with a visitor on first and second, Jordan drove a long hit into the east fence, which was returned in time to catch the second base man before he crossed the home plate. Salisbury relieved Jordan in the sixth, and did not allow the Kansans a hit the rest of the game. The score was as follows: R H E Kansas 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 3 6 Missouri 0 2 0 0 5 0 0 0 0 5 7 3 Batteries: Kansas, Hoffman and Brookins; Missouri, Jordan and Salisbury, and Sconson and Bonford.

"This world and one more, and the 'taters to dig'" said the Arkansas farmer to his wife. This week and one more, and then who knows? This is the vital question at the University just now. Missouri's old rabbit's foot seems to be still in action on the diamond as well as in track athletics. Kansas was surely hoodooed yesterday, or she could not have helped making a larger score. The first presentation of the senior play last night brought forth only favorable comments on every hand. It is a work of real dramatic merit, aside from the local adaptations, and it is a thing of which the senior class, and its committee, may well point with pride. Once more the seemingly inevitable has happened, and another track defeat is ours at the hands of Missouri. We can only keep at it in the hope that with the new gym and all winter practice we can sometime turn the tables on our friends across the line. We wish once more to ask our subscribers who have not paid their subscription to do so as soon as possible. Don't think we won't ask you for it—we're not so backward as that. There are hundred and fifty in the University to whom this applies, a share of that money is needed to pay the expenses of printing for the rest of the year. The scheme to hold off the reservation of tickets for the senior play lacked a great deal of the fulfillment of its purpose, if that purpose was to place them on in a lump on Monday morning. The situation was that all the seats were sold and located by the time they were supposed to go on sale. Such is college enterprise. Valuable Drawings. Marie A.

Venerable Mason Visits the Hill Again. LAID FRASER'S CORNERSTONE. An interesting character visited at the University last week, and was unnoticed in the crowd of other visitors on the hill. It was J. H. Schaeffer, the man who placed the first stone of Fraser Hall. When the construction of the building was begun there was great rivalry among the masons to determine who should lay the first corner stone of the college building. The honor fell to the lot of Mr. Schaeffer. This was his first visit to the campus since he took his tools down the hill. He was accompanied by a man who had lived in the vicinity of Lawrence for thirty-two years and had never been on the hill before. Mr. Schaeffer made the remark that even if he had been gone so long there were still pieces of his old shirt all over Fraser Hall. He explained this startling statement by saying that when the stone arches over the windows were put in place in putting in the key-stone, his shirt would get caught and the only way to get loose was to tear away and leave the fragment between the stones. Mr. Schaeffner has a piece of the hand-rail that used to run along the sides of the old steps to the main entrance. This piece is about three inches long and he has it polished and varnished. He told an interesting story of Dr. Snow and his weather reports in the early days. It seems that Professor Snow had begun this work when the University was still housed in old north college. Mr. Schaeffer said it was a familiar sight when Fraser Hall was being built to see Dr. Snow ride a little Indian pony up the hill to observe weather conditions. This is doubtless where Dr. Snow acquired the fearless way of riding which he still manifests in his meteoric flights down Mt. Oread on his bicycle. Sigma Xi Meeting. The Sigma Xi meets this week on Thursday evening at the home of Professor Kay, instead of with Professor McFarland as was announced Saturday. 4 WATKINS NATIONAL BANK Capital $100,000 Surplus $20,000 J.

Innes, Bullene & Hackman AGAIN VICTORS MISSOURI WON THE TRACK MEET EASILY. The Ninth Consecutive Victory---- Putnam Makes a New Record. "Easy" was the word spelled by the Tigers in the dual meet between Missouri and Kansas held at Columbia last Saturday. The score was 79 points for Missouri and 38 for Kansas. The loss of Capt. Driscoll, by the injury to his foot, was responsible in a measure for the size of our end, though the men entered in his place, showed up well. All considered, Kansas, with her men new and inexperienced in track work, did as well as could be expected. Priest and Miller ran good races in the mile and half mile respectively, and pushed their men hard. Dennis crowded his runners around the course. When it is remembered that these men are doing their first work in track this year, we can console ourselves after all. The features of the meet were the two Missouri records broken. Putnam for Kansas, threw the hammer 138 feet 3 inches beating the boasted Missouriian over ten feet and making a further throw than was ever made on Rollins field. Anderson, for Missouri, broke the shot put record with a put of 43 feet 7 inches. There seems to have been considerable discussion over the result of the discus throw. The Missouri man's last throw was measured to be a half inch farther than Putnam's. Track men doubt whether so small a difference could be measured in a discus throw of over one hundred feet. It was the ninth consecutive victory for Missouri over Kansas in track. Missouri won eleven firsts and eight seconds, Kansas four firsts and six seconds.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS VOLUME II. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 19, 1906. ONE OUT OF THREE JAYHAWKERS PLAYED LIKE WOODENMEN AGAINST TIGERS Lost First Game to Cornhuskers Hoffman Tried Two Consecutive Games. In the last three games the Jayhawkers lost to the Tigers, won from the Missouri Normals and again lost to the Cornhuskers. This is the third game played this year with Nebraska, the first two being played upon McCook field several weeks ago. In these games each school won one and tied in the other. In the second Missouri-Kansas game Wednesday the Jayhawkers were given one of the most complete drubbings ever witnessed upon McCook field, losing by the score of 10 to 0. The Tigers played the real game from the beginning to the end while the locals played like wooden men and toyed with the ball throughout the game. Hoffman started out to pitch a strong game but the tax of the game the day before began to show on him in the fifth and at the close of the sixth, when three runs were made, he was taken out. NUMBER 65 Kirmeyer, without warming up, went on duty in the seventh and by hitting two men, passing two and allowing one single together with three unpardonable errors in the infield, one of which should have been a double, the inning netted the Tigers six runs. Salisbury, the Tiger propeller of the pill, was a puzzle for the Kansans throughout the fateful game, allowing the Jayhawkers to connect safely but three times during the game. In the ninth came the only show for the locals, to prevent the disgrace of a shut out when Johnson knocked a clean three bagger, but without a coach to warn him to stop he ran into a sure out at home. The score by innings was as follows: The 'Varsity boys defeated the Warrensburg State Normal from Missouri by the score of 16 to 6. The Missourians played ball like the Jayhawkers had the day before, running up 12 K. H. E. Kansas... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0—3—6 Missouri. 0 0 0 0 1 3 6 0 0-10—5—1 Batteries: Kansas, Hoffman, Kirmeyer aud Brookins, Missouri, Salisbury, Swanson and Bloebang. errors. Both teams hit hard, two and three base hits not being uncommon. The feature of the game was a single by Horsman the normal pitcher who had but one hand. Score by innings: R H E Kansas 3 0 6 1 0 5 0 1 x 16 16 3 Normals 0 0 0 1 2 0 3 0 0 6 19 12 Batteries: Kansas, Meade and Brookins: Warresburg, Horsman and Dittemore. Umpire, Allen. The game at Lincoln yesterday was an easy victory for the Cornhuskers, although the game was not so one sided as the score would indicate at the first glance. Jones allowed no more hits than his opponent. For the first time this season Brookens yielded his place behind the plate and Justice picked them off the bat. Dort pitched steadily for Nebraska, keeping the hits scattered, while the Cornhuskers took kindly to the curves of Jones, the Kansas southpaw, driving in most of their runs on long hits. A home run by Fenlon and a triple by captain Morse were the features, although Hoffman for Kansas smashed out a triple and sent in two of the Jayhawkers' runs. The score: R H E Nebraska 3 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 x 9 9 2 Kansas 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 3 9 3 Prof. McClung and Prof. Stevens' Little Son Injured. PICNIC ACCIDENT YESTERDAY. At a biology picnic on Washington creek eight miles south west of town, yesterday Professor McClung, and Richard, the small son of Professor Stevens, were seriously burned by an explosion of blasting powder in a camp stove which the party was using. Professor McClung noticed the odor of burning cloth about the stove, and on opening the oven door saw what he supposed was a bundle of cloth smouldering around the edges. He had just drawn this bundle to the edge of the oven when the powder exploded with violence. The professor's clothes caught fire and he was badly burned about the hands, face and ankles. Richard Stevens, who was looking into the oven at the time, was badly burned about the face. Mr. Martin of the museum had just driven out to the camping place in a carriage when the accident occurred, and the injured ones were placed in the carriage and brought to town, SIR ALFRED HODGES, BROTHER OF THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE, AND SIR ROBERT HODGES, SON OF THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE. Men Who Were to Debate Iowa. Iowa has refused to consider all propositions that Kansas made for holding the annual debate at a later date than was first set. They still want to have the debate on their schedule next year. The men who were to have met Iowa on the question of a fiscal protectorate for the South American States, are: H. J. Bischoff, William J. Luckey and John H. Sutton. Bischoff, who is a member of X. Y. Z. society, is a graduate of the Washington, Kansas, high school, and is a sophomore in the college. Luckey, is a middle law, a member of the Phi Delta Phi, and of the Athenian Senate. He is a graduate of the Greenley high school. Sutton is an Iowan, and did part of his preparatory work in Buena Vista College. He is a senior law. eight mile trip taking just forty minutes. It is supposed that the powder had been thrown into the stove to get it out of the way. The stove was one Professor McClung used in his collecting expedition in Idaho last summer, and it is supposed that the powder was some that he used to break open rocks in his search for specimens. The German Play. The Unitarian church was well filled last night to hear the German play, "Gunstige Vorzeichen." The performance was a creditable one in every way and the eager attention and laughter of the audience showed that it was appreciated. The individual parts were all well acted, but Mr. Paul Faragher as Holdhaus, the mistaken wooer, made the greatest hit. He seemed to know just how an embarrassed lover would act. Mr. Riesen, as the old man, was well suited to his part. He was slow to grasp the situation but made the best of it when he did understand. Miss von Unwerth as his daughter was the typically quiet and timid young lady. Miss Hoskins entered well into the spirit of her part as a jolly, joking young lady who is equal to any emergency. Mr. Guy Brown as lackey played an indispensable part, although he did not say a word. Lacrosse Teams Busy. The tryout for places on the Lacrosse teams is narrowing down to seven or eight of the best of the players in each class. The freshmen and sophomores seem to be in the lead for honors at present. The freshmen under Downs have been practising faithfully ever since open weather has permitted it. The sophomores have elected Ansel Clark to head their squad, and are putting in most of their spare time in work. They have an advantage in that they have most of the men this year that won the class championship last year. The tournament will be held the latter part of next week, the winners having their names put on a scroll to be hung up in the trophy room of the new gym and they are also promised class numerals.

SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1906 The spirit of reverence for tradition is evidently on the wane. Who ever about any body getting sore about a charivari? Why, that used to be as much a part of the ceremony as the payment of the preacher. Verily, the world is going to the dogs! It is said that a member of the ball team went to sleep on the bench the other day, and a special detachment had to be sent to his rescue to call him out of his stupor before the game could go on. He was probably seeing visions of bases full and a lucky drive for a home run. From some unknown cause the baseball team has gone sadly to pieces in the last week. It is not because they cannot play ball, for they have done it this year, and have been playing a great game until the last three or four contests. The unity seems to have left the team. They need to get together and they can't help doing the rest. Now would be a good time for someone in the university with a little authority back of him, to get the university into the honorary fraternity of debaters and orators. All the western state institutions are in the new movement, and a number have already been taken into the organization. It would be of immeasurable assistance to those interests in the university if our representatives were made members of such an honorary organization, with membership in the best schools of the country. Tennis enthusiasts are having an inning this week, and the results and are very gratifying to the lovers of the game. The number of candidates to the tournament team was quite large, and the interest in the trials has been good. Next fall it is hoped that active work can be taken up at once. There is no particular reason why tennis should not have a higher place in the sports of the University, and, if the movement is kept going, a new line of athletics will be opened for those who do not indulge in the more strenuous games. Out-Talked. The friends of C. O. Pingry and W. T. Clarkson got them together last week for a test of their volubility, and turned the talk to athletics. Both gentlemen immediately got intensely interested, and the talking match waxed fierce-almost violent. After a lapse of several hours the continued verbosity of his opponent began to tell on Pingry, whose loquacity was failing him. It seemed he was fast approaching a condition bordering on collapse when his backers withdrew him from the contest, and Clarkson was adjudged the winner. He now undoubtedly hold the championship in the line of perseverance. Victor Iles Honored at Columbia. The University council at Columbia University, New York, has just awarded a scholarship in history, value $150, to Ivory Victor Iles, who took his A. M. degree here last year. He has been assistant in history at the University of Colorado this year. Columbia awards forty-two scholarships each year, and the selection of the recipients is made from the list of graduates of the best universities and colleges in the country. Dr. M. T. Sudler, dean of the Medical School, spoke in chapel Tuesday morning on "Typhoid Fever." He said thal almost every case of typhoid was caused either from impure milk or impure water supply and that the best way to avoid the disease was to insure that all water and milk used had been boiled.

William Allen White UNIVERSITY BOOK STORE. By Writes Poetry. The following poem on the San Francisco disaster appeared in the New York Independent under date of May 10. It is the work of Harry H. Kemp, the globe-trotting genius of the university. He contributes regularly to the Independent. The God of Magnificent Cities, who maketh a fact of a dream, SAN FRANCISCO. And mountains up masses of granite to the tune of shrill whistlès and steam- He said; "I will build me a city of temple and market and quay, To commerce with tropical islands To commerce with tropical islands and yellow hordes over the sea." As ants scale the trunks of high cedars, his masons kept on, one by one. 5 the clamor of sieuges went tinkling to the wondering face of the sun. Along huge skeleton scaffolds, sure footed, practiced of eye. and guided the long steel girders which swung thru the spaces of skv. And thus there was builded a city, a million spired youth, a world-mart. Which roared like a sea shell with noises of traffic and labor and art. In the course of the days and the seasons the Titan of Earthquake awoke: The human-placed burden it irked and weighed on his neck like a voke; So merely he turneth him over with a primitive savage's mirth, And sendeth out smoke from his nostrils, and tosseth a handful of earth. And the lordly, tall buildings collapsed, of the strength of their sinews beguiled. As a playhouse of blocks tumbles down at the blow of a petulant child. Said the God of Magnificent Cities, the placer of granite and beam; "My Rome is the laughter of nations my Carthage and Athens a dream; My olden Assyrian cities, and those of the Pharohs of old. Are one with the kisses of Helen, are one with a tale that is told. The haunt of the sun-loving lizard and jackal, the awe of the band Of wandering nemds which blun Of wandering nomads which blunder upon them half-buried in sand. But I will rebuild me this city and shape it to grandeur again; For I never have meant it for marmots, but as habitation for men." Lo! once more the church bells, the whistles, the ships that go out thru the bay. With forward sweep and the sea gulls a-wing in the wake of their way! And once again the hammers, the noises of traffic, the cry Of artisan voices, the atomlike builders who climb in the sky! O God of Magnificent Cities, O piler of granite and beam. The nations are waiting and watching to see the refashion thy dream. HARRY H. KEMP. Clothes cleaned, repaired, and pressed $1.50 per month. Phone 506. The Lawrence Pantorium, 12 West Warren Street.

B." said she thoughtfully, "isn't that a new degree the University is granting this year?" And then the foolish crowd laughed and the fair one wondered why. UNIVERSITY CALENDAR. Tuesday, May 22.

Dixon was married at Emporia this week, and brought his bride to Lawrence, and they were rooming on Massachusetts Street. Tthe boys were just getting warmed up to their task and were preparing to invade the house and drag forth the backward groom, when his landlady interfered and threatened to shoot the whole crowd if they didn't leave. They left, but the police had been called, and came on the scene in time to nab one of the loiterers.

A bunch of university boys were given an impromptu treat the other day on McCook field. A city confectioner drove out to the field for the purpose of selling some ice-cream. While busily engaged in doing so, one of the boys easily "swiped" a gallon freezer of cream from the rear of the wagon and placed it behind a nearby tree. After the confectioner had disposed of some of his cream he started for town without the least apprehension of what had been going on. As soon as he was out of sight everybody, including the baseball men who were practicing, made a rush for the cream, picking up stones, boards, candy boxes, and anything which could be used to secure some of the frozen dainty. The driver soon appeared again in quest of the freezer which he thought had fallen out of the wagon, but to his dismay the empty freezer was all he could find.

Nebraska Found Hoffman a Surprise---Rain Prevents Second Game at Manhattan. The base ball team has gingered up a little in the last two games played, taking the second from Nebraska, Saturday and winning from the Farmers Monday. The last Nebraska game was full of errors, but luck and Hoffman's magnificent twirling saved the day. The following account is from The Daily Nebraskan: Kansas took the last game of the series on Saturday by scoring six runs to Nebraska's five. At the end of the ninth the score stood 3-3, and the tenth yielded no runs for either team. But Kansas hit Milliken in the first half of the eleventh to such an extent that three men crossed the home plate. Nebraska went after Hoffman in their half of this inning, and were able to get two men across the fourth base. Here Hoffman settled down and refused to give Carroll a safe hit. A little single at this time would have meant two runs for the 'Varsity had men on second and third. Hoffman, the Kansas pitcher, twirled a great game, striking out ten men. He is considered the best pitcher Kansas University ever had, and is the best amateur twirler in Kansas. Both teams made a good many errors, but Kansas proved the greatest offender, having a even dozen to the 'Varsity six. But the Southerners always recovered in time to pull themselves out of the hole. By ihnings: By innings: Kansas...2 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 3—6 Nebraska...0 1 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 2—5 Earned runs—Nebraska. Twobase hits—Johnson, Hetherington, Justice. Sacrifice hits—Wilson, Fenlon. Stolen bases—Hetherington, Bloss, Gaddis, Rine, Fenlon, Carroll 2, Sprague. Bases on balls—Off Hoffman 3, off Mullikin 1. Hit by pitcher—By Mullikin 2, by Hoffman 1. Struck out—By Hoffman 10, by Mullikin 6. Umpire—Ahlin. Kansas played a good game Monday and cleaned up the Farmers at Manhattan by the score of 6 to 4. Since the winning streak of the Manhattan boys, they had begun to consider themselves invincible, and the ease with which the Varsity took them into camp came as rather an unpleasant surprise. Hoffman did the twirling and seemed to be in as good condition as on Saturday at Lincoln. His speed was remarkable and the boys gave him better support than they did in the Nebraska contest. A second game was to have been played yesterday,but on account of rain it was called off. The boys play St.Marys today and a great game is expected as the St.Marys team has not lost a game this year. Hoffman will probably pitch again. DRAMATIC CLUB REORGANIZES Name is Now "The Masque"-New Constitution Adopted. The old University Dramatic Club was formally reorganized at a meeting of the club last night, when a new constitution was adopted, and plans discussed for the extension of the scope of the work next year. The name of the reorganized club is "The Masque," and the official emblem is in the form of the ancient actor's mask, with a dagger thrust through it. The emblem is now worn by all active members of the club, about twenty-seven in number, counting the director and managers. The membership of the new club is limited to twenty-five, but plans have been discussed for doubling this number next year, and for giving a number of private entertainments for the members and their friends, in addition to the regular public plays of the club. Freshman Dance. The last dance of the University season will be given in Fraternal Aid hall next Saturday night by the Freshman class. As the heat of the season demands it will be a "shirtwaist" party. This will be your last opportunity to dance with your friends before vacation, so you had better be present. The admission will be 75 cents as usual. Boarding Club. Students remaining at summer school may obtain board at Mrs. Kinne's, 1132 Tennessee Street. Also several rooms for rent. Dr. W. C. Payne gave a reception for his bible classes Sunday afternoon. THE QUILL IS OUT. Annual Publication of the Club Issued Yesterday. The second number of the "Quill," the annual publication of the Quill Club was issued by the club yesterday and is for sale at the English office. It is a handsomely bound, thirty-eight page booklet, and is entirely the work of the active members of the club. Among the best features of the book are a story "The One That Stuttered," by R. O. Douglas; The Chief's Bullett," by Minnie Leach; and a characteristic child story, "The Runaways," by Abby Beckwith. The book is the work of the Graduate Magazine shop, and is one of the most artistic publications ever put out by a University club. Ex=CHANCELLOR LIPPINCOTT. Speaks in Chapel=Left University 17 Years Ago. Dr. Josiah A. Lippincott, former Chancellor of the University, visited the hill today and spoke for a few minutes in chapel. It has been seventeen years since Dr. Lippincott left the University and the profession of teaching. He was succeeded as chancellor by Dr. F, H.Seow, with only a short interval between, in which Mr. W.C. Spangler was acting chancellor. From here Dr. Lippincott went to Topeka where he was pastor of the first Methodist church for several years. From there he went to Philadelphia to take charge of a large Methodist hospital. He is at present away on a years leave of absence. His son Barlow Lippincott graduated from the University of Kansas in 1887 and is now a prominent civil engineer of Los Angeles. The younger son, Walter is practising medicine at Seattle. Seniors! All who have ordered caps and gowns must get them Thursday at 12:15 in room 14. NUMBER 66 SIR WILLIAM H. BROWN HOWELL M'WILLIAMS GAGE NEBRASKA NEXT Men Who Were to Have Met Missouri. An official letter was received from Missouri the first of the week, formally calling off the Missouri-Kansas debate, which was to have been held here May 5. The men who were to contest with the Missourians are John Gage of Kansas City, D.J. Howell, of Marysville, Mo., and Samuel McWilliams of Fort Scott. The personal mention of the men was published in the Kansan May 2. JAYHAWKER TRACKMEN GO TO LINCOLN FRIDAY. Driscoll is Unable to Run---There Will be Six Track "K's" This Year. The track team will leave Friday morning for Lincoln, Nebraska, where they meet Nebraska University in the last meet of the season, on Saturday following. Captain Driscoll, who is still suffering from a lame ankle, will be unable to take part, and the team will be weakened considerably as a result. The best we can hope to do is to make as good a showing against the Cornhuskers as was made in the meet with Missouri last Saturday. The squad that will represent Kansas on the trip will consist of the following men: Acting-captain Young, Siler, Parker, Combs, Miller, Priest, Dennis, Wallace, Putnam, Russell, Johnson. Captain Driscoll, Coach Butler and Manager Lansdon, will accompany the team. Altogether, the season's results have not been so discouraging as results seem to point out. Much new material has been brought out that will make the team stronger than in several years past, when practice begins next spring. Many of the new men have shown ability to make good records in their first season, but were handicapped in meets with strong teams on account of inexperience. To such is attributed the loss of several races of the Missouri meet. In addition it is said that we are to have an experienced coach next season. Butler has done exceptionally well considering that he has received no pay whatever, and the time he spent was taken from his work in school. No official action has been taken in regard to the awarding of K's for this season, but the award depends upon the winning of a first place in a meet with a state university, or the breaking of a record on McCook field. Figuring thus, Johnson, Putnam, Miller and Russell are the only new men to receive the coveted emblem, while the "K" men of last year who will receive them again are, Young and Parker. There is a chance that some others of the new men will win some firsts in the Saturday meet. Mr. J. A. Symonds, eastern representative of the Regal Shoe Co., is at the Eldridge House with a full line of all the new productions of the shoe world and extends an invitation to everyone to call and look them over.

Some of the records of subscription have been lost, so if you are asked for your subscription and it has been paid, the collector wants only to see your receipt that he may make a record of it. It seems that the city of Lawrence is at last waking up to the fact that the prohibitory law has been violated regularly and openly for years. It is a queer situation that such things can go on without interruption and in the open, with everybody but the authorities "next." It has been a notorious fact that intoxicants were to be had for the asking, and it has been advertised by the press of other towns of the State. Lawrence is just finding it out officially. Missouri has at last officially declared the debate off for this year, after the matter had been dropped for so long that it was almost a mere matter of history. It is to be hoped that a satisfactory explanation of the difficulty can be arrived at, and that the annual Kansas-Missouri debate will continue in the future without some of the conditions which have made it unpleasant in the past two or three years. No one here knows what was the matter with Missouri this year, beyond that they made a pretense of having the worst grievance ever. One thing that has been a stumbling stone is that they have what purports to be a contract for the government of the debates, and no one here has any idea of what those articles contain, beyond what Missouri herself represents through any one of three or four correspondents who have been carrying on the negotiations. Bury the hatchet—let's take a fresh start. The Hoodoo man seems to be after the Kansans' scalp for fair lately, judging by editorials from various college papers and from their own rag. The "Independent" and "Daily Iowan" claim that the chinning department of their respective institutions have gotten advanced cases of lock-jaw owing to the "Angelic" inclination of the "pious" Jayhawkers. Accordingly negotiations for the annual "confab" are off between the Iowa and Kansas Laws and the most radiant smile from the brightest sunflower that ever bloomed in the trust-ridden state could not convince the Missourians that they intended to do the square thing for Missouri needs to be shown. The above is clipped from the editorial page of the Daily Nebraskan, and shows a pretty thorough misconception of the real situation here, thanks to the Missouri Independent. There was no trouble at all with Iowa, beyond the fact that their Law School which had the debate scheduled, backed out on the debate. There was no disagreement, Iowa simply refused to set another date, presumably on account of conditions in their own school. Mr. U.G.

Professors Cady and McFarland of the Chemistry department of the University of Kansas, have made an analysis of natural gas as it is delivered in the pipes at the University and in Lawrence. It will be of interest to know that it does not contain any air as has been asserted. They have also made the remarkable discovery that there is a considerable quantity of helium in the gas. Their analysis is as follows: Composition of natural gas on May 16, 1906. Oxygen trace Carbon dioxide 0.20 Carbon monoxide 0.00 Marsh gas 98.06 Hydrogen trace Nitrogen 1.57 Helium 0.17 Total 100.00 As the natural gas comes from different localities and that delivered at Lawrence is a mixture, it is liable to differ in composition from time to time.

A couple of misguided laws, who have reached the dignity of seniors without knowing any better, paid a visit to the fifth floor the other day. The engineers gathered 'round, prepared to out do themselves in hospitality, and when the legal gentlemen saw what was doing they tried to work tricks of their trade, and offered to give bond to return later, as they had classes that needed their immediate attention. It was no go, and with a resigned air, the disciples of Blackstone prostrated themselves over the desks in their profound respect for the keenness of the engineering minds. The laws say it isn't settled, but the two who have been there are satisfied. Engineers at Topeka. About fifty of the engineering students visited the various machine shops at Topeka last week. They were accompanied by Professors F.E.Ward, E.F. Walker and Geo.Hansen. In the morning they visited the Smith Automobile Works, in the afternoon the Santa Fe machine shops and in the evening the Edison Electric Light plant. They report royal treatment. At the Santa Fe shops, their guides instead of being poorly informed clerks were some of the best informed men of the drafting department. Just the photo to exchange, with or without K.

Rollins Bingham, "circuit rider" on the Kansas City Star, addressed the newspaper classes a few minutes Monday morning on "special correspondence." Mr. Bingham is one of the most unique character that has appeared before the newspaper classes this year. He is the son of Mr. Bingham the celebrated Kansas City painter and is a graduate of Yale University, being a senior while Chancellor Strong was'a freshman. While in school he was a member of the Yale rowing crew. After graduation he led a varied life, finally drifting from the drummer's trade into the newspaper business by writing some special little stories for the St. Louis Globe Democrat on Drummers' Life. He at once made good in the newspaper business and since that time has been writing special correspondence for the various newspapers. His best work has been done on the Star where he signs his letters which are principally of a political nature, by the nom de plume of "The Circuit Rider." These letters were extremely influential in securing the election of Folk as governor of Missouri. He will make his headquarters here during the present political campaign. The method he uses in writing his stuff is to ride around among the farmers and find out what they think about political matters. He will bring his saddle horse to Lawrence this week and start another of his tours through the state. Mr. Bingham will be known among the students as being the enthusiastic Missouri rooter in the games last week. Vanilla, chocolate and cherry ice cream at Wiedemann's.

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. Score by innings: Score by innings: Kansas 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3---3---6---2 St. Mary's 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4--4-10---1 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.

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. The line up.

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.

Nearly three hundred seniors leave the university in another week to take up the work that they have been fitting themselves for. The best wishes of the school go with them-may life be full of honors and honest work for them. Here's to their success. A University Club properly organized could be made a powerful factor in shaping the attitude of the students on all important questions, and could be very effective in bringing the whole university to a responsible observation of the attitude of the right minded in those things. Along with a lot of other things, the first University Day has passed, and if current expression is to be trusted, in is in a fair way to be incorporated in the body of traditions of the university. The men who spoke did not astound with oratory, nor did they attempt it. They talked, and talked sense. The sentiments expressed by them can in a general way be subscribed to by the whole university. KANSAS CONFLICT, by Governor Robinson. LIFE OF CHARLES ROBINSON, by Dr. F. W. Blackmar. KANSAS IN LITERATURE, PROSE AND POETRY, edited by Professor W. H. Carruth. SUNFLOWERS, a collection of K. U.

All of the above books, with the most complete line of Books suitable for gifts are on our book table. The University Book Store. For one preeminent reason the idea of a non-factional University Club would be the best thing that could be introduced into the life of the institution. That is that the men do not properly appreciate the other fellow's worth. There are only a few snobs on the hill, and the "rough-necks" are correspondingly scarce. There are many who have the reputation of one or the other who do not at all deserve it. The Club would wipe out a lot of that sort of thing, and for that reason it is a worthy project. Some of the things in connection with the management of the baseball team this week look rather queer to the average student—very much like rank politics in fact. There are sometimes and places when a political contest is all right, if it is conducted right. It does seem, however, that a man who is a member of a university team of any kind which fixes the comparison of the university with other schools, should make that his first concern, and not subordinate it to petty interests of a fractional part of the institution. The publication of the Kansan for this year closes with this issue, and another period in the journalistic development of the University becomes a matter of history. The Kansan has had its faults this year, no one is more willing to admit it than the management. But it is not with a hopeless, hang-dog expression that we say it—just the contrary. The new order of things has not yet had time to develop, and the history of these last two years in which it has had its inception and a fair measure of development, gives promise of better conditions when the system has time to firmly and fully establish itself. The present management will be continued next year, and with only the changes that a few months of apprenticeship has shown necessary, the policy will be the same. Here's to the past, and may the next year be nothing but an improvement. A Good Record. Out of thirty-two games played this season, Kansas has won 19, tied 1, and lost 12. On McCook the boys lost four games—two to Missouri and one each to Manhattan and Drury. The tie game was played with Nebraska on April 13th. Two games were lost to Galveston, which does not count since the latter team is a professional one. The best game ever played by a K.U.team was played at St.Marys for the state championship and only losing on an error. On the whole, the university can well be proud of her boys.

All the classes are divided in small sections for recitations, laboratory and clinical bedside instruction. Students are admitted to advanced standing after passing the requisite examinations.

This will add a great deal to the efficiency of the Bible Study work in the University. An Honest Confession=. An instructor was having a little informal talk with his class yesterday about the work of the term, and the talk drifted to the authorities on the subject of the course. "Miss Blank," said he, "What is your opinion of—," naming the author that had been the main text in the course. "Well, really, I haven't used it very much," was the artless reply, and she wondered why they laughed.

HELIUM IN GAS WELL. Professor Cady Talks of Discovery to American Chemical Society. Professor H. P. Cady, assisted by Professor D. F. McFarland, gave an address which has attracted a great deal of attention, at the meeting of the Kansas City chapter of the American Chemical Society, which met in Lawrence Saturday afternoon and evening. This address submitted the results of some analytical work in which Professors Cady and McFarland have been engaged. Some time ago it was found that the gas from a natural gas well near Dexter, Kansas, would not burn. Samples of the gas were submitted to Professor Cady for analysis. After repeated experiments helium was found to be present in the gas to the extent of 1.84 per cent. Helium was first discovered in the atmosphere of the sun by means of the spectroscope. Later it was found in minute quantities in some minerals on the earth, Prof. Cady's discovery of its presence in the Dexter gas is the first discovery of helium in a considerable quantity and will undoubtedly give rise to a great deal of interest in this element among scientific people. Bishop Hartzell of the Alpha Deuteron chapter of Phi Gamma Delta, at Illinois Wesleyan, visited at the chapter house here for a few hours last Friday, and told of his experiences while directing the missionary work of the Methodist Episcopal church in Africa.

Perlee Rawson Bennett of the class of 1886 has lately given to the library file of the first publications ever printed at the University. Some interesting manuscript is also in the collection. The papers are: Observer of Nature, printed in 1874, Kansas Collegiate, University Courier, University Pastime, and The Heirophantes. The gift is quite a valuable one for historical reference, and as the library file was lacking in these numbers they fill a long felt want. The manuscript throws light on some interesting "politics" supposed to have occurred at the union of The Review and Courier. The writing is rather a lengthy one, justifying the aforesaid union, and trying to do away with taint of partisanship. Mr. Bennett's gift is certainly appreciated. Inexpensive but Sweet.

AN IMRORTANT YEAR; The year just closing marks an epoch in the activities of the German department which easily puts it in the first place in the university with reference to the amount of extra work accomplished. Not only is the enrollment larger than ever before and the interest in the work greater, but more has been done to get the high school work of a uniform character in the year than in the whole history of the institution before. The German bulletin, issued as an experiment will be a permanent feature in the future, and the interest kept up. The department has presented three plays this year, "Die Schulreiterin,""Die Lugnerin," and "Gunstige Vorzeichen," besides the work in the regular weekly meetings of the Verein, which has been of a very high character.

Following, Eaton beat Hoover in the singles by the score of 6-2, and 6-4. Baker had won every tournament up to this one, so the victory gives Kansas the college championship of the state.
