VOLUME III.
THREE VICTORIES
DEFEATED SOONERS 3 TO 2,5 TO O, AND AGGIES 4 TO 0.
Jennings Administered Second Shutout Today--Home Run by Bloss--Kansas 11 Hits.
Batting like fiends, fielding like veterans, and with Jennings twirling in splendid form,the Jayhawkers took the last game of the series with Oklahoma on McCook field this afternoon by a score of 5 to0.
Every man on Captain Brookens' squad had his batting eye in fine trim and started the contest by knocking House out of the box in the third. Page, who succeeded him on the firing line, fared little better and at the end of the game the Jayhawkers had a home run by Bloss, two two-baggers and eight singles chalked up to their credit.
Hoffman and. Angney pulled off fancy fielding stunts. Jennings did excellent work in the box.
The score:

Kansas 0 0 4 0 1 0 0 0 x-4 11 1
Oklahoma 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0-0 7 4
Jennings and Brookens,
House, Page and Walker.
With Harlan pitching splendid ball, Captain Brookens's squad took the first game of the series with the University of Oklahoma on McCook field yesterday afternoon by a score of 3 to 2. All the scoring was done in the first three innings and for the remainder of the game both sides went down in one, two, three order.
McCreedie, touted as one of the star twirlers of the Missouri Valley, was on the firing line for the Sooners and was extremely effective except in the opening inning when the Jayhawkers garnered three runs. Bloss started the trouble by reaching first on being hit by a pitched ball. Holmes got on by an error by Beaver, the Sooners' third sacker. Brooken's scored Bloss by a scratch hit and "Spide" Bailey cleared the bases by a pretty three bagger. This ended the scoring as far as Kansas was concerned.
Harlan twirled a splendid game for Kansas, striking out six men and holding the Sooners down to three lone hits. Bailey was the "hitting kid" of the day securing two of the Jayhawkers' three hits.

In a pretty pitchers' battle between Kaufman of the Kansas team and McCandless of Farmers, the Jayhawkers defeated the strong Agricultural
College nine on McCook field Wednesday afternoon by a score of 4 to 0. Both twirlers were pitching shut out ball but Captain Bookens's squad were stronger in the field. Kaufman allowed but four bingles throughout the contest, all of them in separate innings, while McCandless held the Kansas squad down to three bingles.

DEBATE '09 VS. '10
ANNUAL CONTEST BETWEEN CLASSES TUESDAY NIGHT.
Shall We or Shall We Not Segregate Sexes in Our Colleges, Is the Question.
The annual debate between the freshman and sophomore classes will be held next Tuesday evening in the University chapel. The question to be argued is "Resolved, that it is for the best interests of the students in colleges of liberal education that the sexes be segregated." The sophomores have the affirmative, their debaters being Henry Waters, Ralph Johnson and Cecil Fay. The freshmen are represented by Rollin Perkins, Lester Disney and Roy Dietrich.
This debate ought to be of interest to the students of the University since the wisdom of coeducation which is generally considered as the natural state of affairs here, is being questioned. The debate takes the place of the May-day scrap, the custom in years past.
PROFESSOR CADY AS DOCTOR.
Called to Kansas City to Use Liquid Air to Save a Child.
Last Sunday there began in Kansas City a fight for life in which the existence of a child could be prolonged only by administering every moment pure oxygen. Compressed oxygen was ordered from St. Louis but that meant delay. The available oxygen was soon exhausted and two automobiles were sent out over the city, procuring here and there a tube of oxygen just in time to prevent death.
Monday at 3 o'clock they wired the Chemistry Department to send any liquid air on hand. This was sent and a little later a second message asked that Dr. Cady come to assist in the struggle to keep up the supply of oxygen. The liquid air arrived just as the last bubbles were issuing from a retort in which $ \mathrm{K C l O_{3}} $ had been decomposed as a last resort. Until Wednesday morning, when the shipment from St. Louis arrived, the work of procuring oxygen from the limited materials and apparatus at hand was carried on desperately. More than once the lips of the child had become blue
before the most strenuous efforts could produce a few more bubbles of gas. Last reports indicate recovery.
To Cooperate With the A. C. A.
The newly organized Kansas Branch of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae have been invited through their Director, Dr. Hyde, to cooperate with the National Association in the promotion of Educational and Social Ideals. Kansas University has received from the Association of Collegiate Alumnae $4,500 in fellowships and it deserves the support of the Kansas Alumnae.
MAY DAY GAME AT BAKER
May Day, through the kindness of Chancellor Strong, is to be a gala day in commemoration of the cessation of hostilities known in history as the May pole "scrap."
This year, Manager Lansdon, with the keen foresight of a statesman, scheduled the K. U.-Baker baseball for May Day and arranged an excursion for a thousand, 75 per cent of the money from the sale of tickets in Lawrence to go to the K.U. Association.
Varsity Will Play Methodists May 1.—Great Crowd to Accompany Team at Baker.
The K. U. rooters are planning to surprise the quiet town of Baldwin by wearing the loudest customs that can be obtained. The height of fashion will consist of a cut-down derby with a two inch crown with a red and blue band, a tramp suit, yellow socks and yellow shoe strings. Impressive ceremonies will be gone through with in the Baker campus with speeches by K.U.orators.
The Jayhawker fans are going to Baldwin to see the color of the fellow's hair who is going to out-pitch Kaufmann. A pitcher's battle is advertised and Kaufmann has taken a week's rest. Incidentally, the K. U. rooters expect to see some live stick work, resulting in a Baker's dozen hits with a Baker's dozen of runs. It is hoped that the Methodists will not make their usual Baker's dozen of errors.
