THE VARSITY CAME BACK
BEAT HASKELL BY A 10 TO
5 SCORE.
Success With the Indians Gives Hope of Winning From Nebraska.
As baseball, the session held with the Indians on McCook field Saturday, was of very little force but there was in the 'Varsity' 10 to 5 victory much of the swee nness of revenge and this more than made up for some of the other things that were lacking.
It can be said, however, that Ebright's men made a far better showing as stickers than they did the day before, and as the men walked to the plate and clouted the ball one after the other, those in the bleachers who feared the team were hitless wonders drew deep breaths of relief Haller was the particularly shining light in this department, putting the ball out of the lot four times out of five at the stick. The pitchers also worked well and not a run that was tallied to the Indians' credit was earned.
But just here was the sad feature of the performance. Coach Ebright's men bobbled several easy chances and allowed the Sioux to slip across the rubber without molestation. The errors did not all lie with Rockeyites however, for from the third to the eighth innings the redskins gave a very passable imitation of the Los Angeles aviation met.
Muri was sent on the firing line for the Indians, but the liberties that the 'Varsity took with his slants and the Curtiss-like performance of the substitute first baseman caused him to seek his old hunting grounds around the initial sack. His successor on the mound fared no better and when he had to retire with a badly injured hand in the seventh, Means was called to the rescue.

MAY CHANGE WITHOUT LOSS
EASY TO SHIFT MISSOURI KANSAS GAME.
So Says Manager Lansdon, Who Has Long Favored Playing the Game on College Grounds.
In an interview this morning concerning the playing of the annual Thanksgiving game alternately at Lawrence and Columbia instead of at Kansas City, as betoretofe. W. C. Lansdon, manager of athletics, said.
'I see no reason why the game should not be as profitable played here and in Columbia as it has been in the past at Kansas City. While the receipts will probably be somewhat less, the expense would also be cut down appreciably.
Last year the expense of the game at Kansas City was over $8,000 and the University's share of the receipts totaled less than $10,300.
"From this it would appear that as the net profits were only a little over $2,000 the profits could be made to reach that figure if the game were played here.
If the game is played here, it means of course, that the seating capacity of McCook field must be greatly increased. A new grand stand must be built on the south side and improvements made in the present stand and in the bleachers on the north side, and at the west end. Personally, I am inclined to believe that we will have very little difficulty in getting as large a crowd here as was present at the game at Kansas City last year.
"The question seems to be not so much the handling of the crowd on McCook as the earing for the people in the town. It would mean that every patriotic person in Lawrence would have to get busy and make coffee and sandwiches on that day if the people were to be fed. As far as that is concerned, a cup of coffee and a sandwich was as much as I was able to obtain in Kausae City last year after the game.
"Of course, it is a matter of mere speculation what Column I will do in the matter. I understand, though, that President Hill is in favor of abolishing the Kansas City game; and further, Columbia is better prepared now to handle the game than it was a few years ago, when the question of such a game first came up.
"As far as playing the game on the Saturday preceding the Thursday of Thanksgiving is concerned, I am inlined to favor the idea, as in previous years the team has been handicapped by having two games come so close together; and it will save running over a Saturday without a game, as it was proposed to do this year."
Annual Board Editors Will Rest The senior annual editoria board expects to take a well earned rest after tomorrow night.

SENIOR PLAY READY.
As Usual, It Is the "Best Ever" Tryout Tomorow Night.
The manuscript for the senior play has been completed and according to Miss Gertrude Mossler, the director, it is one of the best ever written in the University.
"This year's senior play will be somewhat different from the usual run of senior plays," said Miss Gertrude Mossler today. "I was much pleased in looking over the manuscript to notice the gratifying absence of small talk, which most amateur playwrights are un able to keep out of their lines.
The first and only tryout for places on the cast,which will also be for places on the senior farce cast, will be held in Fraser hall tomorrow night, at 7:15, before Miss Mossler, Vale Nance, chairman of the senior play committee. Milton Cain, manager of the senior play, and Miss Edna Hopkins, chairman of the senior farce com mittee.
"It is different from the usual run of college plays also in having a small east. The play has the merit of having been written with due regard for dramatic consisteney, rather than with the dominating purpose of making places for as many characters as possible. It really is 'legitimate drama,' which means that it is not like many amateur productions."
The senior play this year is a four-act comedy-drama. It deals only in part with life at the University. There are seventeen char acters. The name of the play has not yet been made public.
Rehearsals will begin next week. The play will be given on Thursday and Friday nights, May 19 and 20.
The name of the senior farce as announced by the farce committee will be "Mr. Jay Hawk."
