JAYHAWKERS 48; CORNHUSKERS 13
KANSAS WINS FIRST BIG GAME IN ONE-SIDED CONTEST.
Johnson Made 11 Goals. Every Kansan a Star, and Bell Best Nebraskan.
Kansas won the first interstate basketball game from Nebraska last night by a score of 48 to 13. It was a whirlwind contest from start to finish.
The Cornhuskers were clearly outclassed in all departments of the game. In the first few minutes of play Kansas took the lead and it was easy to predict the winner. At the end of the first half the score was 19 to 6 in favor of Kansas.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 9, 1909
Kansas used the long overhead pass and the dribble. Nebraska seemed to favor the short pass.
Every man on the Jayhawker team played a great game. Johnson at forward seemed to be invincible. Time after time he would dribble the ball across the field and add two points to the score. Capt. Woodward at guard threw four field goals. Martindell played a star game at guard. Long who went in at forward in the second half pulled off several brilliant plays. Bergen and Heizer at center played star basketball. McCune at forward did much to give Kansas the victory.
For Nebraska, Bell at guard was easily the star player.
"Phog" Allen, of the Kansas City Athletic Club was a visitor at the game. In speaking of the Jayhawkers he said, "My prediction is that they will easily win the Missouri Valley championship. They are great. Kansas could defeat Chicago if the game were played on the court here."

LAWYERS TOBAR ASSOCIATION
K. U. Graduates and Students to Speak.
NUMBER 38
The University will be well represented at the annual meeting of the State Bar Association to be held in Topeka January 28 and 29. Three of the speakers will be graduates of K. U. Besides this the University will have a personal representative to speak, who will be chosen from the senior class by a competitive contest which will be decided by submitting papers on the subject, "Should the rule 'that a person cannot recover money which he has paid another under a mistake of law' be adhered to when it appears that the payee is not entitled to it and should not in good conscience retain it?"
The three graduates are Judge G. L. Finley, '93, Dodge City; Arthur M. Jackson, '97, of Leavenworth and Professor W. E. Higgins, '94, who will prepare a paper on "The State and the Criminal in the State of Kansas." A majority of the classes will be dismissed on these two days, allowing the students an opportunity to attend the meeting.
HAVE DRESS REHEARSALS.
ThespiansGiving Finishing Touches to Friday Night's Play.
The Thespians are holding full dress rehearsals for their play, "The Climbers," to be given in the Bowersock opera house next Thursday and Friday nights.
The costumes for the play are new in entirety. The opera house has been somewhat remodeled on the inside and new scenery has been procured for the Thespians.
"The Climbers" is a strong play and Miss Georgia Brown, the popular dramatic instructor of Kansas City, has been working hard, training the caste. Nearly all the players are experienced and adapted to their parts.
The University Hospital had an enrollment of two students this week. Henry Kohlman, a fellow under Professor Duncan, and James Fields,a Junior Pharmic, were both taken to the Hospital Thursday. Fields went to his home in Kingman this morning.

DEAN MARVIN HEADS SIGMA XI
NATIONAL MEETING CHOSE ENGINEERING PROFESSOR.
Sigma Xi was founded in 1886 at Cornell University and is the largest of all scientific honorary fraternities. The object of the society is to encourage research work in science.
Marvin Not at Meeting and Honor Was Unsought—Sigma Xi Greatest Honorary Scientific Society.
All the larger universities and colleges have chapters of Sigma Xi. Twenty-five schools were represented at the Baltimore meeting.
For the past four years Dean Marvin has been chairman of the National Council of Sigma Xi and his work as chairman won him his new position. Professor Marvin was elected to the society in 1890 and that same year a chapter was installed at the University, the fifth in the United States. At the present time the fraternity has fifty-three members in Lawrence.
Dean Frank Olin Marvin, of the School of Engineering, was elected national president of the Sigma Xi scientific society at the national meeting of the society held in Baltimore the latter part of last week. Dean Marvin was not even at the meeting and the election came as a great surprise to him. He had not understood that he was considered for the position and did not learn of his election until yesterday.
Several Kansan Board Openings.
Tryouts for places on the Kansan board are now open to all students of the University. There are several vacancies that are to be filled in the near future.
An out of town man who lived in Lawrence twenty years ago was at McColloch's drug store yesterday buying post cards. He said "What a wonderful change there has been in and around the University since I was here. It certainly has grown in size and beauty and no one, unless he had been absent like I have, can realize to what magnitude the institution has grown."
PROFESSOR HODDER RETURNS
Attended Historical Meeting and Visited Library of Congress.
Prof. F. H. Hodder has returned from the annual meeting of the American Historical Association at Richmond, Virginia. Mr. Hodder is a member of the executive committee of that body.C. L. Becker and C. C. Crawford also attended the meeting of the association.
After the association meeting Prof. Hodder spent several days in the Library of Congress and the Archives of the State Department. He also visited the University of Virginia at Charlottesville and Jefferson's home at Monticello.
CADY TO OBSERVE WEATHER
One of the features of the conference was the luncheons given by the professors and ex-students of the various Universities represented. These reunions were held at the Commonwealth Club at Richmond. Cornell University was first, with eighteen people at its luncheon. Kansas came second with twelve representatives. Prof. W. C. Abbot was present.
Regents to Allow Tome Tstudents to Work in Buildings at Night.
At a meeting of the board of regents Friday evening Prof. H.P.Cady was put in charge of the work of securing the daily weather observations and the preparation of the monthly record which was for so many years the work of Dr.F.H. Snow. The instruments will be moved from the Snow residence sometime during the spring and will probably be placed in the Chemistry building.
The regents also granted permission to the scholar in Bacteriology and to the fellows in industrial chemistry to enter the University buildings for work at night without the presence of a professor, thus placing these students on the same footing with instructors in this respect.
Kappas Gave Tea.
The Kappa Kappa Gammas had a most enjoyable tea this afternoon at their chapter house, 1400 Tennessee street, for all the sorority girls. The hours were from three to six.
"Billie" Ingram, of Beloit, is visiting at the Sigma Nu house.
