LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 10, 1907.
AN EVEN BREAK
JAYHAWKERS WON AND LOST AT DRURY.
Kansas Took the First Game 14 to 7—Lost the Second Game 2 to 0
The University base ball team split even in their series of two games with Drury college at Springfield, winning the first contest on Monday by a score of 14 to 7 and loosing the second game yesterday afternoon by the close score of 2 to 0.
2 to 0.
Mondays game was a swatting bee pure and simple, both teams wielding the willow with great effectiveness. Captain Brookens pupils connected safely thirteen times while the college team had fourteen bingles chalked up to its credit. All the Jayhawkers batted like fiends. Hoffman put the ball over the fence for a home run, Angney connected for three two baggers while Holmes was the "batting kid" swattings the victor fiercely every time he came to bat. Hoffman, the star twirler of last years team, was in the box for the first time this year and pitched a splendid game for six innings. In the last part of the contest, however, he weakened considerably and was batted hard. The features of this first game was a triple play which Drurp pulled off when the bases were full.
Score by innings:
R H E
Drury 2 0 4 1 0 0 3 1 3-14 13 5
Kansas 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 2 3—7 14 5
Bick and Evans.
Yesterdays game was lost by an error by Spide Bailey in the fifth. Rogers the first man up for Drury, connected for a pretty single. The next batter knocked a fierce liner through short stop which Bailey failed to stop and which Bloss in center field also missed. Both runners scored and the game was lost for Kansas. A brilliant ninth inning rally gave the Drury team a scare but the needed runs were not forthcoming. With two outs and the bases full, Holmes, who has been doing the heavy batting for the Kansans, on the trip thus far, dented the air three times.
Score by innings:
R H E
Drury 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 -2 6 2
Kansas 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -0 5 2

COLLEGE MAN VS CONVICT.
Prof. W. U. Moore Ironically Compares the Two Subjects.
Professor W. U. Moore of the law faculty spoke in chapel Tuesday morning on "The State and the college man's education.
"I chose a subject you would not like," said Professor Moore "because if a chapel speaker talks on a subject you like intensely you derive no value from it, if he takes a subject you know nothing about you pay no attention, but if he goes in opposition to your accustomed views you will at least give ear to what he says."
He went on to say with a semi-believing look, the college man really owes no more to the state for his four years of education than the convict for four years in the penitentiary. Many think this is a rank heresy and that it is very wrong to "play with an education" to use it for enjoyment. Why not? Humanity trifles with many things more dangerous than education. One has a right to get an education and a right to use it as he will.

Junior Class Meeting.
Regents in Session.
Professor F. W. Blackmar recently received a letter from Arthur S. Manny, an instructor in St. Johns College, Shanghai, China, stating that his volume on Sociology has found its way as far as China. The book gave great satisfaction and is being used as a text book in that school. Mr. Manny said that the Chinese students were much interested in questions of political reform and found the book a great help to them in their work. It may in time be translated into Chinese.
