THE KANSAN.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 9, 1907.
THREE DEFEATS
KANSAS LOST TO COMPANY "F" TEAM LAST NIGHT.
The Score Was 41 to 15.—K. C. A.
Wednesday, and
NUMBER 45
William Jewell Thursday.
For the third straight time the University basket-ball team was trimmed again last night. The score was only 41 to 15, in favor of Company F of Independence. Kansas never had a chance of winning from the blow of the whistle.
Kansas did not score until nearly the end of the first half when they secured five points, but the soldiers already had 23. In the second half the Kansans did little better. For the Jayhawkers McCune and Miller did noble work, but the odds were against them.
Thursday night the team played William Jewell a hard game, losing by a score of 22 to 20. The Jayhawkers were defective in team work and too light for William Jewell's heavy guards. McCune was the star for Kansas. The individual score was: Miller, f. goals, 1, field throws 0, fouls 5; McCune, f. goals 4, field throws 1, fouls 5; Hacket, c., goals 1, field throws 2, fouls 8; Woodward, goal 0, field throws 0, fouls 1; Wohler, goals 2, field throws 0, fouls 0.
In one of the hottest games played this year the Kansans met defeat at the hands of the K. C. A. C. team Wednesday night by a score of 44 to 35. In the first half the Kansans played rings around the K. C. athletes and at the close of the half the score was 27 to 18. The intermission, however, seems to have done the Blue Diamonds good for when they came back they began to show the Kansans up in great style, while the Jayhawkers had lost the location of the basket. When the smoke of defeat cleared it was found that Kansas had added 7 points and the Kansas Cityans 26 points. Beck, who played against Hacket at center, threw 11 goals.
The team plays the Kirksville Normal tonight and the Missouri University Monday and Tuesday.
Mandolin Club Election.
The University Mandolin Club elected the following officers for next year at the meeting of the club Wednesday evening: Charles Hoar, president; Julius Marks, vice president; Wiliam Peet, secretary; Carl Eddy, manager. The club will go to Kansas City, Friday, and will give a concert in Kansas City that evening.
Tryouts This Afternoon.
In the try out for the mile and the half mile this afternoon, Worden won the mile in 5:2 and Priest won the half-mile in 2:15. The 50 yard dash and low hurdles are being run on the Fraser Hall straightaway.
TEAM NEARLY COMPLETED.
Bunch that Meets Tigers at Kansas City Picked Today.
The men who will twist the Tiger's tail at Kansas City March 15 have been chosen with but one exception. Fourteen men have been chosen. The choice of the fifteenth and last lies between Loper, Haddock and Cummins.
The following men will be photographed by Squires this afternoon, the first fourteen of whom will go to Kansas City: Parker, Young, Cooley, Babb, Lapham, McCoy, Newbold, Butler, Driscoll, Dennis, Worden, Russel, Priest, Putnam, Pringle, Cummins, Drake, Campbell, Loper and Haddock. Hagerman has Worden in special training. Some unexpected ability has been shown in the past few weeks training and that together with the fact that he already had a team not to be scoffed at, makes Coach Hagerman confident that he will "show" the Missourians a thing or two March 15.
PHI BETA KAPPA BANQUET.
Interesting Program Given at Presbyterian Church.
The Phi Beta Kappa society held their annual banquet Friday evening in the Presbyterian church parlors. A short reception was held before the banquet for the benefit of the recently elected members.
Professor Hopkins as toastmaster, made his introductions exceedingly novel and interesting by using translations from Beowulf. The toasts were:
Irregular Verbs, Miss Benn.
Iregular Verbs, Miss Dear
If I were Roosevelt, Mr. Squire.
If I were Roosevelt, Mr. Squire.
Robinson Gymnasium vs. Fraternal Aid Hall, Miss Jackson.
Beyond the Rio Grande, Mr. Cooper.
An Imaginary Quantity, Miss Everett.
The East and the West, Miss Nadine Nowlin.
Mr. Dooley on Phi Beta Kappa,
Mr. Tavlor.
Phi Beta Kappa Ideals, Mrs. R.
D. O'Leary.
Little business was transacted, but the chapter refused to endorse the applications of Washburn and William Jewell for chapters. On receipt of a letter from Professor Edwin Bartow of the University of Illinois, formerly of this University, the chapter endorsed the application of that institution for a chapter of the society.
President's Address.
RUSHING THE BARREL
HON. F. D. COBURN TALKED.
Tells Students the Importance of Letter Writing.
Hon. F. D. Coburn, the man who wouldn't be a United States senator, delivered the chapel address Friday morning. His subject was "Letterwriting," and Mr. Coburn, who is considered as maintaining a model office and office methods such as letter writing, is surely qualified to discuss that subject. He evidently thought that University students are either lax or ignorant in the art of correspondence, for he went into minutest details. His address was full of good sensible information which the student needs as well as others. "Courtesy, legibility, and lucidity are the essentials for a correct letter," said Mr. Coburn, "courtsey first because it is indispensible to life in general." The talk was characteristic of the man, simple, energetic and valuable.
