Missouri lost in base ball to Washington,yesterday,7 to 3 poor old Mizoo.
Kansas lost the third debate to Iowa after winning from Baker and Oklahoma. Washburn next.
The Sophomore prom given last night merits the highest praise for the class and the committees through whose efforts the party was planned.
With two no-hit games and a good lead in the games won column so early in the season, Kansas has half won the Missouri Valley base ball championship.
Minnesota Daily: "Who saw them? A hundred and fifty girls at Minnesota are taking swimming lessons.—Kansan." There must be a Jayhawker in the wood pile.
Kaufmann has promised to break his contract with Springfield "Three-I" league if he finds it possible to work his way through school. Kaufmann is an excellent student besides being the best twirler in western college baseball. He is worth much to Kansas.
Students at the University and especially the young women will recollect that during the campaign last fall for athletic election "Job" White made an extraordinary race for the rowing committeeman through his promises to take his supporters boat riding. The boat season is now on and above all political debts should never be left unpaid.
The reports of the batting and fielding averages that the Kan-
san will publish in the Saturday issues will be taken from the official records kept by Manager Lansdon. These reports will be final and if they do not look as well to some individuals as they should, don't blame the Kansan.
Donald, the last year's captain of the K. U. football team, known to several Fort Scott parties, was almost killed yesday over at Iola. Donald is in a smelter there and accidently collided with a live wire. Four hundred volts passed through his body and he was hurled thirty feet and terribly shaken up. The big man was reported somewhat better today.-Fort Scott Republican.
The above report is slightly twisted. Donald received his electric shock at Fowler Shops and ten minutes later he was as quiet as ever.
Where some of the city newspapers and one of the Kansas City paper correspondents gathered their data for the bugaboo about the Kansas students boycotting the Baker-Kansas debate is a mystery indeed. Professor Carruth's address to the students Friday stating that the reason for a small crowd were other than the fact that there was a negro on the team were exactly right. The truth is that there was no united effort by the students to go to Baker just as there has never been any great effort to take a large crowd to a debate. The down town papers were evidently shy on night copy and they stretched the truth until it tore.
Mrs. Henlen, of Herington, is in Lawrence visiting her daughter, Florence, who is in the University.
MOST young men don't go to College, but they do like the way the College man dresses. If you have missed the chance of taking a degree in art or science, you can easily add many degrees to your appearance with College Brand Clothes. They confer the right to "B. S." — "Bachelor of Style."

Carbines Instead of Bibles.
In Superintendent Crocker's office is an interesting relic of the border warfare in Kansas. It is an old Sharp's carbine, of the same kind and possibly one of those that came up the Kaw during the strenuous days in Kansas, and were distributed to the Free State troops at Lawrence. In those days sternwheel river boats made regular trips to Lawrence and on one of these boats were several large boxes labelled "Bibles," but which were afterward ascertained to be carbines for the Free State men. These rifles represent the first breech loaders made and are very unique and interesting.
Will Protect the Birds.
An effort is being made this year to protect the birds on the University campus. It is estimated that in former years about one-half the bird's nests on the campus have been destroyed, in most cases by small boys of the town. This year warning notices will be posted and every possible means taken to protect the birds.
Research Work in Pacific Lab.
A research room in the Marine Biological Laboratory on the Pacific coast belonging to the University of California, has been placed at the service of Dr. Hyde for the ensuing summer. Dr. Hyde will pursue certain investigations begun at Woods Hole, the Atlantic coast Marine Laboratory.
Jaunt to Lecompton May 1.
The Country Club will celebrate May Day this year by taking a jaunt to Lecompton. Though the trip is a good long one it will be possible to ride one or both ways and a good lunch will be provided at the other end of the line. The club is looking for a crowd.
Dr. H. H. Vaughan of the Romance Languages department has resigned and accepted a position at Ohio State University.
