Tomorrow afternoon the Tiger base ball team will arrive from Columbia for a couple of games with the Jayhawkers. Saturday afternoon while the base ball game is going on here, the Kansas-Missouri outdoor track meet will be in progress at Columbia. Kansas has a fighting chance to take this meet and if all the men are in good condition some surprises may be sprung.
Kansas has this year met Missouri in eight athletic contests and has lost only one of these. Three more are yet to be played and Kansas will probably win two of these, the ball games.

Fifteen high schools of Kansas and western Missouri have entered ninety-two athletes for the great invitation meet on McCook next Saturday. The classiest of all the secondary school athletes in this part of the country will compete and a great many of the McCook high school records are sure to be smashed. French, the Pittsburg lad, who jumped 5 feet, 9 inches two weeks ago, will attempt to raise this mark. Woodbury, the Central hurdler, is sure to beat the University high hurdle record.
Central has entered eighteen athletes; Manual and the Freshmen seventeen each; Westport ten; Kansas City, Kansas six; Wentworth five; Dickinson County and Lawrence three each; Pittsburg, Overbrook and St. Joseph two each; and Eskridge, Wetmore, Burlingame and Paola one each.
The relay will be a four lap race between Manual, Central, Westport and the Freshmen. A fine loving cup will be given to the winners. The Freshmen are strong in the weight events and ought to annex several points.
First place counts five points; second place, three; third, two; and fourth, one. First place winners will get gold lined cups, second place men silver cups and those who land third will be awarded bronze medals.

SENIORS
MASS MEETING
ONLY FIFTY STUDENTS PRESENT LAST NIGHT.
Final Effort to Be Made Toward Organization Tuesday in Chanel.
Fifty students attended the mass meeting in Fraser Hall last evening in the interests of student government. The constitution drawn up by the committee of ten was read and discussed at length. The question as to the powers of freshmen and sophomores in the new body of social reformers was the issue of the evening.
The constitution provides for a student board to consist of fifteen members not including the president and vice-president.
The opinion of the speakers last night favored a representation from each school in proportion to the enrolment, and that each school should be a judge of its election. The decision of the powers of various classes promises to be an interesting issue at the final meeting.
Owing to the small crowd present, it was decided to hold a meeting Tuesday morning at the time for chapel and permanently organize the scheme for student government of the various phases of University life
Fellowship to Rebecca Moody.

VICTORY IS COMPLETE
EIGHT VIOLATORS OF THE LIQUOR LAW CONVICTED.
Newspaper Men Prove Story in Student Edition of Journal.
After two witnesses had gone on the stand yesterday in district court and told a story similar to that which forty or fifty students were ready to tell, the eight defendants in the liquor cases resulting from the exposures in the student edition of the Lawrence Journal plead guilty one after another. The victory for the University journalists was complete. The defendants evidently went to trial with the idea that the student witnesses were suffering from "cold feet" and would fail when the crucial moment came.
The two witnesses that took the stand were not members of the Scoop Club, but the next two men slated for the chair were members of that organization.
County Attorney Haaley said in reference to this matter, "I considered it a state matter, and arranged the witnesses for a special purpose. I had two Scoop Club men for the third and fourth witnesses. Although the Club started the investigation, it had no voice in the arrangement of witnesses."
The two boys who told their story in a convincing manner that left no room for doubt on any body's part. Lawyer Riling, attorney for the first two defendants, attempted to embarrass the last witness, but was unable to confuse the testimony in any way.
After the interruption caused by the verdict of the Parker jury Riling's clients plead guilty. The others that followed got in the band wagon and followed the example without a fight.
THE SENIOR PLAY.
To Be Replete With Musical Choruses.
Frank Parker, manager of the Senior play went to Kansas City today to secure costumes for the staging of Zu Zu which is to be given May 21 and 22.
