BRYAN IS COMING
WILL LECTURE IN ROBINSON GYM SUNDAY NIGHT.
Women Are not to be Admitted on Account of Lack of Seating Capacity.
William J. Bryan, orator and statesman and most prominent man in the Democratic party, will be in Lawrence next Sunday and at 7:30 will deliver his famous lecture "The Prince of Peace" in Robinson gymnasium under the auspices of the University and city Y. M. C.A. Mr. Bryan will arrive in the city from Topeka at 5:15 Sunday evening and will go to the home of W.R. Stubbs, where he will be entertained during his stay in the city. Mr. Bryan comes here from Topeka where he addresses the Sunflower club the night before.
Admission to the lecture will be free by tickets, which will be passed out at the check stand. The object in this is to prevent confusion on the night of the lecture as it is expected that the number desiring admission will greatly exceed the capacity of the building.
For the same reason admission will be to men only. Those in charge of the affair had at first intended to make it open to men and women but it was found that the members of the University and city Y.M.C.A could not be accommodated if this was done hence the exclusion of the women.
Mr. Bryan will remain at the W.R. Stubbs home Sunday night and will leave Monday morning for his home at Lincoln. The University glee club will furnish music the night of the lecture.

JAYHAWKERS GETTING READY.
Coach J. P. Hagerman Expects to Win Indoor Meet—Kansas Has Lost Nine Men.
The wail comes from the Tiger's camp that they have lost three veterans since last year. The Jayhawkers have lost nine of last year's leading veterans out of the game: Babb, Russell, Butler, Driscoll, Lapham, Putnam, Haddock, Newbold and Milton Miller.
With the annual indoor meet with Missouri in Convention Hall only three weeks off and with Kansas hard at work, things look more optimistic for the Jayhawkers every day. However a remarkable state of affairs exists: instead of eliminating by tryouts in order to pick fifteen men for the squad, this year there are barely twenty men trying out.
Coach Hagerman feels very confident of Kansas's ability to twist the Tiger's tail on March 13. His dope has it that the Jayhawkers should have first in the mile, half-mile, two mile, shot put, pole vault, low hurdle and high jump, while seconds look encouraging in the shot put, low hurdle and high jump.
The squad of fifteen that will probably meet the Tigers in Convention Hall are: Priest, Captain Cooley, Cummins, Parker, Young, Wenger, McCoy, Martindale, Guthrie, Cohn, Coventry, Stevenson, Mitchell, Leland and Dennis.
Secretaries of University organizations and clubs are requested to write a brief story and history of their organizations, and a list of officers and place it in the "Jayhawker" box at the checkstand at once. Organizations desiring to have cuts in the Annual should make arrangements with Harold Bozell.
"Jayhawker" Organizations.
The Athletic Association will hold a special meeting Tuesday to elect a student member to the athletic board to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Urbane Angney.

TIGERS DEFEATED
JAYHAWKERS TAKE TWO MORE—30-19 AND 26-22.
Twelve Straight Victories — Des Moines Y. M. C. A. Tonight— Then Ames and Nebraska.
Playing ball like fiends, the Jayhawker basket ball squad won their twelfth straight victory and humbled the Tigers for the fourth successive time by defeating the Missourians in Columbia last night by the score of 26 to 22. The team work of the red and blue was too much for their opponents, and although the score was close, Kansas had the game tied up all the way. The team is playing wonderful basket ball right now and is standing the long trip well. After the game last night Captain McCune and his husky lads started to Des Moines, Iowa. Tonight they play Des Moines Y. M. C. A., Thursday they meet the Ames Aggies, and they close the season Friday and Saturday with two games with Nebraska.
The first Missouri game was easy. Although the first half ended 12 to 8, the Jayhawkers went after the Tigers and by consistent teamwork in which guarding, dribbling and goal shooting was the continuous performance, won 30 to 19. Bergen, M. Miller, and McCune did the goal work, "Billy" Miller juggled the ball and Woodard played safety. The score: Kangos, 30.
