In one of the prettiest field meets ever held on McCook field, the College edged out the Engineers for first honors and won the loving cup by the narrow margin of a half point. The final score was: College 52 $ \frac{1}{4} $ Engineers 52,and Laws 26 $ \frac{3}{4} $ "Boo" Wallace,a law, really won the meet for the College team. With the result hinging on the outcome of the pole vault,Wallace tied Johnson for third place,giving the College the meet by a half point.
Five records were smashed during the afternoon, the half mile, mile, two mile, discus throw and broad jump. The half mile was easily the spectacular event of the meet, Priest and Miller, taking a nice lead in the first lap and a half, began to sprint fully three hundred yards from the tape. Priest lead until but a few feet from the tape when Miller heroically lunged forward and the race was called a dead heat at $2.6\frac{1}{2}$ flat making the first K. U. record where two athletes divide the honor.

Jennings in the Box Allowed But 3 Hits.-Kansas Gathered 9 Timely Hits.
An error by Bailey in the sixth, followed by a neat three bagger by Thompson, scored the teachers one run.
In a one-sided game of baseball on McCook field this afternoon, Kansas defeated the State Normal nine by a score of 11 to 1. Jennings held forth in the box for the Jayhawkers, slaughtering the normal batters almost at will and holding them down to three lone bingles.
The second inning developed into a regular binglefest for Captain Brookens proteges. Angney, Bloss and Brookens connected for two baggers, and Bailey and Jennings for singles. Young was given his base on balls twice in this inning, while Hoffman secured a free ticket to the initial sack once and before the third out was registered against the Jayhawkers six men had chalked up runs.

ANNUAL SOPHOMORE A GRAND AFFAIR
Brilliant Colored Lights, Dreamy Music at the '09 Party--200 Couples in Grand March.
The 350 or more guests who attended the annual Sophomore given in Fraternal Aid Hall last night, in honor of the senior class, were unanimous in their opinion that the affair was a decided success. The events of the evening moved off without a hitch. When the party ended at 3:30 it was evident from the expressions of the guests that the class of '09 had made a record as social entertainers.
The hall was appropriately decorated with colored lights and ferns, and the numerals of each class, the sophomore and the senior, in lights of the class colors, occupied places on either side of the room. Red and white lights, colors of the sophomore class, made the hall a scene of brilliance and gaiety. The orchestra of ten pieces occupied a place on the stage surrounded by ferns.
As the guests entered the hall they were met by the reception line, composed of Messrs. Ernest Skofstad, Harold Armsby, Tom Veatch, and James DeBerry, and Misses Zella Mitchell, Jessie Baldridge, Amorette Weaver, and Lucy Wright. At 9:30 the grand march started, led by the class president, Ernest Skofstad, and Miss Zella Mitchell, class secretary, followed by the remainder of the reception committee. The line of grand march contained nearly 200 couples and reached several times across the hall. Programs were given out by Mr. Robt. Rowlands and Miss Bertha Lukan, and Mr. Ike Hausman and Miss Grace Collins.
The programs each contained twenty-two numbers. There were four intermissions, during the evening in which refreshments were served in the large dining hall below. They consisted of two courses. Throughout the evening punch was served in the ball room.
The committees who had charge of the affair were: Invitation, Clay Waters,chairman, Ike Hausman, Jas. Deberry, Robt. Rowlands, Jessie Baldridge, and Alberta Clarke; decoration, Amorette Weaver, chairman, Zella Mitchell, Harold Armsby, Tom Johnson, and Roy Walker; refreshment, Lucy Wright, chairman, Claude Clay, Mildred McCurdy, and Tom Veatch.
