Latest is the Pitching Gun.
A new invention, termed "The pitching gun," is being worked out with great success at Annapolis. The gun is expected to give the candidates all the necessary practice to make them able to hit any pitcher. The gun is directed to throw the ball directly over the plate or curve it to any degree u. to eight feet. This is done by simple regulation of the breech. Fifteen pounds pressure is used, thus giving the ball about the speed of an ordinary pitcher. If desired the speed of a modern three-inch rifle can be obtained.

WASHBURN IN TROUBLE.
Former Coach Sues the Athletic Management.
A suit filed with the district court last week by Dr. G. W Weede against the Athletic Board of Control of Washburn college in which the former foot ball coach sues for $475, back salary, seriously threatens the prospects for spring athletics at that institution, and with what is probably the best bunch of track and baseball material in the history of the school there is not the price of a postage stamp in avail able cash to equip the teams for practice and start the work. The students' enterprise fund which was relied on for this purpose,has been garnisheed under this action.
Work on the new quarter mile track and the athletic field have been stopped and the baseball team lacks the necessary equipment for practice. Two track meets have already been scheduled and a baseball schedule is ready for the final arrangements. What policy the athletic board intends to follow under these circumstances is not known as yet, as there has been no meeting of the board since the filing of the suit. The action will come up for trial during the next term of the district court which convene April 4.

The Origin of "Jayhawker."
A bit of Kansas history from the Olathe Register: One morning in the fall of 1856 Pat Devlin, a Free State Irishman, rode into Osawatomie on a horse heavily laden with plunder. “Have you been foraging, Pat?” he was asked. “Yes, I been out jayhawking.” “And what is jayhawking?” was the next question. “Well, you see, we have a bird in Ireland we call the jayhawk; it worries its prey before devouring it. And joyhawking is a good name for the business I've been in.” The name stuck, and while in time the meaning was lost, all Kansans came to be known as “Jayhawkers.”

A newspaper laboratory is one of the new features of the course in journalism at the University of Wisconsin this year. It is equipped with seven standard typewriters with desks, on which the students are required to write them stories.
To furnish models for their work, several thousands of well written news stories of all types have been mounted and classified in a large filing case. Magazine and special feature articles taken from newspapers and periodicals have also been provided to furnish students good examples of this kind of material.
Files of the New York papers the Milwaukee and other Wisconsin dailies, and representative weeklies of the state, are preserved for daily reference and use by the students in newspaper work.
Reference books, descriptive matter and illustrations of types setting and type-casting machines, printing presses and stereotyping outfits also form a part of the laboratory equipment.
A "morgue" with obituaries cuts, and matrices of well-known people shows the student how such matter can be preserved for use on short notice.
Over 75 students have enrolled in the six courses offered in various phases of newspaper work.
