UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME III.
AWARDED THE K'S
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 29, 1907.
THE ATHLETIC BOARD GAVE 21 MEN COVETED EMBLEM.
Eleven Track and Ten Base Ball Men Receive Honor—Successful Season in both Sports.
The last athletic board meeting of the year was held today for the purpose of awarding K's to the men who "made good" on the track and baseball team during this season.
Those who received K's for track work were: Miller, Priest, Cummins, Cooley, Butler, Parker, Putnam, Drake, Young, Haddock, and Russell. All of these won firsts except Haddock and and Young. Haddock won two seconds on the short sprints in the Missouri meet, while Young took a second and tied for first.
On the ball team the following men will receive the K.: Brookens, Young, Holmes, Angney, Bailey, Hoffman, Bloss, Carlson, Harlan, and Jennings.
The K may be won on the track by winning a first, breaking a K. U. record on McCook field, or winning two seconds. In baseball or football the K is won by making a regular place on the team. Putnam broke his own record on the hammer throw at 145 feet,1 in.; Drake, the discus record at 114 ft.; Miller, the mile at 4.40 and half mile at 2.02; and Cummins, the two mile at 10:22 2-5. Miller did the best work of the season. Butler established a new broad jump record at 21 ft.,6 inches.
K. U. has had great success this spring on both track and diamond, defeating Nebraska and triumphing over Missouri's best man, Jackson. The ball team is the best that the school has put forth for years and it has made a remarkable record. Seventeen games have been won and eight lost, making the teams per cent 680, a record that ranks with those of the best professionals.
Manager Lansdon will give a banquet Thursday night at the Eldridge house to the track men. The K's will be presented at that time, and a captain for the next year will be elected.
TO BE DEDICATED MAY 31.
Churchmen Coming to Lawrence to Dedicate Myers Hall.
The new Bible Chair house built by the Christian Woman's Board of Missions, will be dedicated May 31. Many distinguished members of the Christian church will be present.
The building, which stands a block north of the Library, was completed in November, and opened for the use of students and teachers in the University.
The Sigma Nu boys gave a party Saturday evening in I. O. O. F. Hall.
JUNIORS TRIMMED THE SOPHS.
Score in Base Ball Game 15 to 1. Dodge Was Invincible.
The sophomore base ball team went to pieces Monday allowing the juniors to wallop them 15 to 1. Fisher had poor support and was hit hard. Dahlene went in at the beginning of the fifth and was also touched for a bunch of safe bingles. Dodge, the junior twirler had excellent support and was in form. Wallace, who went in at the beginning of the sixth really didn't believe that the second year men could hit, but Dahlene took a three-bagger off him and then scored. Wallace then held the sophs down to infield hits. The feature of the game was a one-hand stab of a long fly by McCarty in the center field, robbing the second year men of a two-bagger. Only eight innings were played when the score-keeper refused to serve and the game was called.

AND BAKER BACKED DOWN.
Manager Lansdon Called the Methodists Bluff.
DAILY CHAPEL NEXT YEAR.
Five Days a Week until University Gets More Scattered.
Apparently Baker did not think that Kansas would call her bluff when she challenged the University to play another game of baseball for the championship of the state. Her challenge was published in all the leading papers. Manager Lansdon immediately accepted it providing that the game be played on McCook field. Baker completely backed down upon receiving our acceptance and showed conclusively that her challenge was bluff from the first.
Honored by French Government.
COMMENCEMENT
Chancellor Strong announces that chapel exercise will continue next year as usual, five times a week. These exercises have been found so useful in the university life, and so beneficial from the standpoint of the reputation of the University in the State, that daily chapel will not be discontinued until the University is larger and more scattered than it is at present.
Miss Le Duc of the French department has had conferred upon her the honorary "Les Palmes Académiques" by the French Government. She received this high recognition on account of advanced work in the arts and literature done both in this country and France.
