Freshmen Win From Manual.
Phi Delta Phi to Give Banquet.
This morning the Freshmen defeated the Manual High School base ball team in a fast well played game by the score of 5 to1. The fielding was good on both sides, both pitchers were effective and the game was keenly fought all the way through.
The Phi Delta Phi law fraternity met Wednesday evening and made plans for a banquet to be given before the close of school. George N. Gibbs was elected to the office of consul. The other officials associated with him are R. O. Douglas, C. C. Merillat, R. H. Worline, H. T. Fisher and H. C. Wood.
FRENCH PLAY WAS GOOD.
All the Parts Were Well Acted by French Students.
The French play "Les Vivacités du Capitaine Tic" was given last Tuesday evening. The large, appreciative audience was of accord in saying that it was the best French play ever given at the University. Roy Dietrich, as the kicking artist; Miss Helen Ames, as the bewitching little cousin; the astute guardian, Thomas Lee; the affable, motherly aunt, so well delineated by Edna Hopkins; and the pedantic suitor, Paul Farragher, filled their parts exceptionally well.
KANSAS WINS LAST GAME

Kansas closed the '08 base ball series with Missouri, with a record of four straight victories by winning from the Tigers by a score of 11 to 4.
BLACKMAR PRAISES PAPER.
Best in Eighteen Years and Did Much Good for Lawrence.
"The students' edition of the Lawrence Journal," said Professor Blackmar yesterday to his class in Sociology, "was the best paper printed in Lawrence for eighteen years. The good it has done for Lawrence in a sociological way is inestimable. The editors are to be congratulated."
Olympic Games Next Tuesday.
The annual olympic games originated by the University Y. M. C. A. will be pulled off Tuesday evening in the "gym." A relay race between the "longs" and the "shorts" and the "fats" and the "leans" will be one of the features. Juggling, clog dancing, and musical stunts by various fraternities will add to the pleasure. The games last year were the best attended stag event of the season.
Grant Harrington, '89, former editor of the Hiawatha Democrat, talked informally to the newspaper class students on Friday morning. He told of his experiences in securing law enforcement in his town by using his paper to give publicity to the evils of the town. He urged students to have a vigorous policy for any newspapers.which they might come to control.
Harrington Gives Talk.

KANSAS TAKES THIRD.
Wins 1908 Baseball Series from Missouri—Poor Playing.
By winning yesterday's slugging match from the Tigers, Kansas made it three straight and took the '08 base ball series from Missouri. The game was full of errors and long hits and would have suited a lover of the old time slugging festivals.
Kansas took the lead in the first and Missouri tied the score in the second. After this, first one team and then the other was ahead. Kansas took the lead in the seventh when six scores were gathered in from a bunch of brilliant plays by Carlson, Jennings, Angney, Gibbs, Rockerfeller, Harlan, and Doubleday. Missouri could not overcome this lead and the game was won.
Harlan was ineffective throughout the game. Missouri used three pitchers, none of them being able to fool the Kansas batsmen.
The feature of the game was the batting of Gibbs, who with a sprained ankle went in at the seventh and won the game with a double and a single. Jennings was the all around star. His stealing home in the fifth was the headiest piece of work seen on McCook this year.
The score:
Exciting Inter-School Meet.
Thursday morning there was an exciting "inter-school" track meet in front of the Chemistry building. The Pharmics and Engineers were principals, the events being the 50 yard dash and the high and low hurdles. Both sides claim victory and the pill makers asserst that if they had had their track suits the Engineers would not have had a look in.
