TROUBLE OVER SENIOR PLAY
Play Not Yet Written—Must Be in Hands of the Director Within a Week.
DISSENTION AMONG COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
Dissension in the senior play committee was made known today after the date on which the play will be given was definitely decided upon last night. It is said that some time ago trouble ensured over a disagreement between the manager of the play and the chairman of the play com mittee as to whether or not the chairman should receive a part of the money from the performance. There is no precedent giving the chairman a right to receive a compensation, and consequently the manager refused to agree to divide the proceeds.
From this disagreement further complications arose. As yet no announcement for a tryout for parts in the play has been made. No play or a synopsis of any play has been submitted to the play committee and as yet no formal action has been taken with regard to the choosing of a play.
It is said that Vale Nance, Irwin Snattinger and J. E. Miller, members of the play committee, are working on the production which will be given. These men it is said, have written the plot and are now filling in the dialogue. The first act is completed, but no reading has been given before the committee. The chairman announced that he would call a meeting for the reading of the synopsis, but no meeting has yet been held.
The dates set for the play are May 4 or 5. This makes is necessary for the manuscript of the play to be in the hands of the director by March 18, a week from tomorrow. It has been stated that the play, which is now being written, will not be presented to the play committee until that time. If so, the probabilities are that it will be up to the committee to either adopt the play as presented or be seriously hampered in selecting or writing another.
Mr. A. B. Frizell, instructor of mathematics in the University received a severe fall yesterday afternoon and as a result is now suffering from a paralysis of his right leg. His fall was occasioned by the slippery condition of the board sidewalk in front of the gym.
A. B. Frizell Fell on the Icy Sidewalk.
INSTRUCTOR INJURED
Mr. Frizell was taken to his room at 1247 Kentucky street, but this morning, as his condition was not improved, he was removed to the hospital.

Clark W. Hetherington, director of athletics at the University of Missouri, has been offered the position of director of athletics at the University of Wisconsin.
ENTRIES STILL COMING IN.
Nearly 300 High School Basket Ball Players Coming.
A definite schedule for the games to be played in the basketball tournament, commencing tomorrow morning,has not yet been arranged. Not all of the teams who are expected to enter have notified the management of their entry, but letters are coming in on every mail and by tomorrow morning Manager Lauddon expects at least 300 entries for the tournament.
Tomorrow morning a complete schedule will be arranged and the preliminaries will all be played in time to allow the playing of the finals Saturday afternoon.

HAVE FIGHTING CHANCE TO WIN
KANSAS MAY TAKE TOMOR ROW'S MEET.
The Men Are in Good Condition and the Dope Looks Brighter.
Scores of Former Indoor Meets
1904—Missouri 48 Kansas 40
1905—Missouri $57^{1/2}$ Kansas $27^{1/2}$
1906—Missouri 55 Kansas 30
1907—Missouri $48^{1/2}$ Kansas $36^{1/2}$
1908—Missouri 48 Kansas 37
1909—Missouri $62^{1/3}$ Kansas 22 2 3
The score gave teil only too plainly the city of the Kansas Missouri meets in Convention hall in the past six years. What the result may be tomorrow night is the question uppermost in the minds of all loyal Kansans. "We are going to Kansas City with an even chance of winning the meet," said Coach Hamilton this morning. "The men on the team are every bit as good as the Tigers and are in fit physical condition. A good deal depends on how the men feel tomorrow evening and on the break of the luck These things being even we have at least an equal chance."
The track men and others closely interested in the meet have been filing dope sheets with the coach on the result of the meet. The majority of these pick Kansas to win with a margin of from one to ten points. There are a dozen or more, however, who give the enemy the meet by a fairly large margin.
Total...41 44
A conservative estimate which strikes a medium between the two extremes is as follows:
Kan. Mo.
50 yard dash ... 8 0
55 yard low hurdles ... 3 5
55 yard high hurdles ... 3 5
440 yard dash ... 5 4
Half mile run ... 3 5
Mile run ... 3 5
Two mile run ... 3 5
Pole vault ... 3 5
High jump ... 5 3
Shot put ... 0 8
Relay ... 5 0
No Meeting Tonight.
Tickets for the meet were placed on sale at the check stand in Fraser hall at 1:30 this afternoon. All box seat tickets with the exception of those reserved for the management were kept in Kansas City for the Kansas City alumni of the two schools.
The meeting of the Civil Engineering society, which was advertised for tonight, will not be held as Mr. Ira G. Hedrick, who was to talk, was not able to come to Lawrence.
THE WEATHER.
Clear tonight and Friday; rising temperature.
SANDERS WILL LECTURE.
This estimate while conservatives gives Kansas a good chance win should any of the Missouri speed merchants fail to deliver. A change of any Kansas second to a first or taking a second net counted will give Kansas the meet. On the other hand the loss of any of the points that have been given Hamilton's men, would make the result a certain defeat.
Two Talks on Hebrew Religion Next Week.
President F. K. Sanders of Washburn College, will deliver two lectures at the University of Kansas next week on "The Development of the Hebrew Religion." The lectures will be given primarily for Prof. J. E. Boodin's class in the philosophy of religion, but will be set at 4:30 on the afternoon of next Wednesday and Friday in order to permit the public to attend. President Sanders will lecture in the Snow hall lecture room.
WRITERS CONFER
Regent Will Be Here Tomorrow
—Gladden Lectures Have
Large Attendance.
W. A. WHITE AND DR. GLAD DEN TO MEET.
(Continued on page four.)
By a special engagement Regent William Allen White, will visit the University tomorrow for the purpose of meeting and conferring with Dr. Washington Gladden, who is delivering a series of lectures here this week to the Bible Institute. While neither of the two great men have ever met, so much has transpired that indirectly connects them, that the meeting tomorrow will be a novel one.
It happens that Dr. Gladden is pastor of the First Congregation al church in Columbus, Ohio. At the time Mr. White's book, "A Certain Rich Man," appeared, a copy of it fell into the hands of Dr. Gladden, and he was so pleased with the work that he delivered a Sunday evening sermon upon the subject matter short time later. The sermon created considerable press comment and a copy of a Columbus paper in which an article on the review of Dr. Gladden, made in his sermon, was published, was sent to Mr. White. In return Mr. White sent Dr. Gladden an autograph copy of "A Certain Rich Man" as a Christmas token. Consequently a sort of mutual friendship developed and both men determined to visit each other at the first opportunity. That opportunity will come tomorrow and the two noted men will confer on no one knows what, but it is needless to say that the meeting will be an interesting one.
In speaking of Mr. White yes tederday, Dr. Gladden stated that he was surprised to hear that the famous Kansan was so young. He said that after reading the book above referred to the historical references made in it led him to believe that the author must be a man of mature years. When told that Mr. White was still a young man he was greatly surprised.
MET,RESOLUTED THEN PARTED
"I anticipate a very pleasant meeting with Mr. White," said Dr. Gladden. "He appeals to me as a typical Kansan, a man who represents the state in every de-
STUDENT COUNCIL QUIZZED TWO OFFENDERS.
'Let Him Who Is Without Sin Cast the First Stone,' the Sentiment.
The members of the student council gathered together last night and met, face to face, another problem of University affairs. The result was that the usual "good resolution" step was taken and the meeting was adjourned.
Last evening the principal call for legislation was with regard to the peanut throwing at the Bowersock opera house, which occurred on the night of the presentation of "Polly of the Circus." Allan R. Shaw and Frank C. Wood, who were ejected from the gallery at that time for disturbing the peace, were brought before the council and their story drawn from them.
After they had admitted throwing the peanuts, the members beban to try to determine what attitude the council should take on the matter. A rigid inspection brought forth the conclusion on the part of the majority of the members of the council that they too, had in times past been guilty of a similar offense, ie., throwing peanuts from the gallery. Consequently the need for action was recognized and after the "ejected" had been reprimanded, the council passed without a dissenting vote the following resolution:
"Whereas, recent conduct of the students in the gallery of the Bowersock opera house has gone to the extreme, the student council gives warning that all disorderly conduct in the future on the part of students will be severely dealt with."
The conduct referred to has been defined as not only throwing peanuts alone, but the releasing of any edible articles or other missiles, from that part of the play house known as the gallery. The council also proposed to recommend that the Friday of all quiz weeks be declared a holiday and appointed a committee to confer with a committee of the faculty in the setting of dates for University functions in the fu.
PAINFULLY BURNED
Everett B. Sutton, a junior, received a painful injury yesterday afternoon. He went to the basement of the physics building to syphon some distilled water from one of the large bottles in which it is stored. By mistake he placed the tube in a bottle of sulphuric acid and in starting the syphon his mouth was filled with the acid Remembering his chemistry caused him to call for ammonia hydroxide. It was obtained and applied. However, Sutton failed to remember that although ammonia hydroxide counteracts the acid, it also eats the skin, and the final application caused him to suffer painful injuries about the mouth.
