LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEBRUARY 22, 1908.
KANSAS WON FROM NEBRASKA
JAYHAWKERS TAKE FIRST GAME OF SERIES.
Score of Game Was 28 to 26—
Won From Ames but Lost
to DesMoines.
Captain McCune's victorious basket ball squad dropped into Lincoln last night and defeated Nebraska University in the first game of the series by the close score of 28 to 26. The Jayhawkers played a great game and won on their merits. McCune and Billy Miller were again the stars. Woodward also did great work in free throwing, clearly showing superiority over Walsh of Nebraska.
Tonight the same teams meet again in Lincoln. If the Jayhawkers can again humble the Cornhuskers they will have a claim to the college championship of the Missouri valley.
Thursday evening the Kansas squad defeated the Ames Aggies, at Ames, Iowa, by the score of 53 to 35. Woodward was the star for Kansas making seven free throws out of ten chances and throwing five pretty field goals. Captain Lenberger scored 24 of the 35 points that Ames gathered and was easily the star of the team.
Kansas----53.

The Jayhawkers sustained their first defeat on the long trip at the hands of the Des Moines Y. M. C.A.five Wednesday evening by the score of 34 to 17. The first half ended 15-13 with the Iowans on the big end but in the second half Kansas could collect only four points. The DesMoines lads have the fastest team in Iowa. Captain McCune's squad was worn out by its long, tiresome trip. The team was also handicapped by the smallness of the court.
Kansas-17.

WANTS CO-EDS TRAINED
In Art of Cooking—Boodin's Reform Movement.
NUMBER 38
Prof. J. E. Boodin spoke at the regular Wednesday meeting of the Y. W. C. A. on a girl's education. He believes that schools of higher learning should provide courses for girls which would fit them for their distinctive positions in life even as technical courses are provided for the boys. He maintains that the control of a household with regard to its economic and hygienic welfare requires scientific knowledge as truly as does the construction of a bridge.
The University has made a start in its course in domestic science and the wood working, but Prof. J. E. Boodin believes that much more should be undertaken.
CHANGES PROPOSED IN ELECTIVE SYSTEM
University May Lighten List of Science Requirements by Including Mathematics.
At the last faculty meeting the question of revising the present elective system at the University was considered. The idea proposed by the committee is to give the student a broader range of subjects to choose from and still have him take the same amount of required work. The science requirements will probably be lightened by the addition of mathematics and other subjects thus allowing the student more freedom in selecting studies from the required list. Another meeting will be held Monday to discuss the matter.
BLAKE HERE NEXT WEEK.
Former Head of Electrical School to Speak.
Professor L. I. Blake, formerly head of the Electrical School of the University of Kansas, will begin a course of lectures here next Tuesday. He will give three talks of a popular nature and several technical ones to engineers. Professor Blake is working with the Submarine Signal Service Co. of Boston, Massachusetts.
Celebrate Founder's Day.
The Phi Psis held a Founder's Day banquet at their chapter house Wednesday night to celebrate the thirty-second anniversary of the founding of the Kansas Alpha chapter. Among those present were Profs. M. W. Sterling and C. G. Dunlap, Herbert Bullene, Joseph Ramsey, George Esterley, Robert Garver of Topeka and Maurice Alden of Kansas City.
HOWETOLECTURE
ON"TRIP AROUND THE WORLD" FEBRUARY 28.
Illustrated Address in Chapel Will Be Free—To Be Humorous.
Unheralded and unannounced, Ed Howe, the brilliant and eccentric editor of the Atchison Globe, will arrive in Lawrence sometime next Friday, February 28, and at his own expense will deliver his illustrated lecture on his trip around the world in the chapel that evening.
Last year Howe chartered a special train to Topeka at his own expense and delivered the lecture to an immense audience in the Auditorium. C.M. Harger tried to get Howe to lecture to the journalism classes, offering to pay his expenses. His answer over the 'phone was: "I don't want to come to talk to a certain class. If you'll let me come at my own expense and deliver a free lecture, I'll bring my lantern man to Lawrence sometime Friday, I don't know when. I want to meet a lot of the students and people. Ed. Howe's book, "Daily tes on a Trip around the
Ed. Howe's book, "Daily Notes on a Trip around the World," has been a great seller on account of its quaint humor and human interest. It is the same thing that enables the Globe to overcome all opposition in Atchison.
A FRESHMAN TRACK TEAM.
Intention Is to Meet Missouri and Nebraska.
M. W. Ross, president of the freshman class, has issued a call to all of the boys of the class to meet in chapel at 12:15 Tuesday to plan for a class track team. Coach Hagerman will preside and talk to the boys. He says that there is an abundance of good material in the class and he will urge the boys to get out and practise to make the team to show their loyalty to class and to the University.
Challenges will be sent to the track teams of the freshman classes of the Universities of Missouri and Nebraska and it is expected that one if not both of these meets will be arranged.
The freshmen will also contest against the high school track team which wins first honors in the annual meet on High School day to be held at the University on May 2. Following the annual struggle between the Manual and Central High Schools of Kansas City, Missouri, to be held the latter part of May the freshmen will go to Kansas City to compete with the successful team.

Coach Kennedy Will Set Jayhawkers to Work.
"In order to get ready for Oklahoma, Iowa, Washburn and Nebraska in succession, the University of Kansas football men will have to be put through a month of spring practice," said Coach A. W. Kennedy today.
