THE KANSAN.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME IV.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 28, 1908.
WON LAST GAME
KANSAS GOT TWO OF THREE FROM WASHINGTON.
Kansas Can Now Claim the Championship of Missouri Valley Baseball Teams.
Tuesday afternoon the Jayhawkers turned the tables on the Washington ball squad, winning the game 5 to 4 and the series with two games out of the three. By defeating Washington Kansas put herself in line for the championship of the Missouri Valley.
Ben Young's band of diamond heroes owes its victory to one of those hurricane ninth inning rallies that characterize the Jayhawkers. With the score 4 to 2, with Washington in the lead in the last of the ninth, Angney got to first on an infield rap, Van Cleave won a home on the team with a two-bagger scoring Angney, Rockefeller got one base on his tap over second base and both runners scored on a wild throw to the plate after Harlan had bunted. Kansas had three runs and the game.
The Jayhawkers were the first to score. They got a run in the fourth on an error and a hit. In the sixth Washington put two men over, each side got one in the seventh and Washington made another score in the eighth.
The pinch hitting of Van Cleave, who is playing short until Jennings' arm rounds into shape, was a feature of the game. Doubleday made a great catch at center and robbed Washington of a two-bagger. Hardaway, Washington's center fielder, ran in on a Texas leaguer and caught it right down at the grass roots.
Both pitchers were effective during most of the game, especially when men were on bases.
The score:
R.H.
Washington—0 0 0 0 0 2 1 1 0-4-8
K. U. -0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 3-5-8
Batteries: Hardaway and Rodenberg; Harlan and Rockerfeller.
St. Marys Tomorrow.
Tomorrow the St. Marys ball team will play Kansas on McCook. St. Marys defeated the Jayhawkers 3 to 2 a few weeks ago. The game is called for 3:15.
Thespians Elect Officers.
Tuesday evening the Thespians Dramatic Club elected the following officers for the ensuing year: Edward E. Haney, president; George R. Hiatt, vice-president; Maurice Allendoerfer, business manager; Hazel Allison, secretary.
FRESHMEN ARE STARS.
Make Enviable Record in Base Ball—Lose Two out of Ten.
In a one sided game at Lexington, Missouri, Monday, the freshman base ball team won from the Wentworth Military Academy by a score of 18 to 2.
Tuesday they were beaten for the second time this season by the Thirteenth Infantry at Fort Leavenworth by a score of 4 to 0. Burdick was in the box but his curves were ineffective against the soldiers. This is the team which the 'Varsity beat early in the season by the close margin of one point, the score being 1 to 0.
The freshmen have done star work all spring, and promise plenty of candidates to fill the vacancies of this year's veterans. Out of ten games played, they have lost only two, one to the Frankfort high school and one to the Thirteenth Infantry. The individual records of the men are good.

SCHOOL ENDS THURSDAY.
Only Four Days of Quizz Week. Faculty Decides Tuesday.
At a meeting held Tuesday afternoon, Chancellor Strong acting for the Regents, granted the recommendation of the faculty that the work of the University close Thursday, June 4. Last term the movement to reform the present quizz system was started, but nothing accomplished. The question was taken up in the last meeting, but the faculty could not agree on a definite plan. The holiday was decided on as a substitute. This will shorten the strain of quizz week and give the instructors more time to grade the papers. Next year a more complete reform will be established.
John Ise Gives Recital.
John Ise, of the Fine Arts School, will give his graduating recital this evening in University hall. The orchestra will play his accompaniments. Some of his own compositions will be played.
Guy Mosher and Milton Miller have been selected by Miss Carrie Watson as the two new men on the library staff for next year.
