ANOTHER BRUTAL SPORT.
Discovered to Exist at the University.
A few years ago five blooming, healthy young specimens of Kansas manhood came to the University, full of hope and pride and ambition. Today those five men are heartbroken and miserable, and the joy has gone out' of their young lives with a dull, sickening thud. All of that, if not more so.
And the reason for this blight and despair? Why, yesterday those five were refused admission to Company A of the Kansas National Guard, which is being formed here. The reason for the rejection of these ambitious young warriors was—whisper it softly—deformed feet. Flat, and clubbed, and twisted and maimed pedals put the chances of those five ambitions young men on the hum.
And they're bitter about it, too for they say it's entirely the fault of the institution they've been attending.
"Did I bring these mained extremities with me from home?" said one of the unfortunate, waving a foot full of corus before the bystander. "No, by ericky, these didn't come from hopping from furrow to furrow on the dear old farm, and they didn't come from long jaunts on the track of the Central branch, and they didn't come from that brutal game of football, either. Hark ye, stranger, this"—pointing once more with a tearful gesture to the injured pedal—"this is the result of years of walking upyon brick-paved hill to eight o'clock classes," indicating Adams street.
All the other victims attribute their misfortunes to the same cause, and advocate the abolition of walking by order of the Board of Regents. A movement is on foot, it is said, to force the street railway company to carry all students who buy athletic tickets, to classes free next year

PLAYED A TIE GAME.
Sig Alph-Sigma Chi Game Called in the Eighth.
The Sig Alphs and the Sigma Chis played a seven-inning base ball game on McCook field yesterday afternoon. The score was 7 to 7 at the end of the seventh when the game was called on account of darkness. Another game will be played later, but the exact date has not yet been decided upon.
This afternoon the Alpha Taus and the Phi Delts will play a regular scheduled game on MeCook field.
At the Chemistry Club.
Bruckmiller's subject was "The Manufacture of Fertilizer." He gave the methods by which fertilizer might be made the best use of, by experimenting with soil as to the amount of acids or bases that it requires.

First Performance Staged Last Night
GAVE "THE REDCOAT."
"The Redcoat," the second production of Miss Muriel Culpa a former University student, was staged at the Bowersoek opera house last night before a large audience. The play was given under the auspices of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the proceeds will be used by that organization in defraying the expenses of holding a state convention of the society here in May.
Thirteen of the twenty-five members of the east were University students. The title role and the leading girl's part were both played by talent of the school. The first was taken by Charles Younggreen and the second by Mis Alberta Cresswell. Both did well. The others from the hill were: Charles Woodbury, Quay Barnett, Frank Nutter, Logan Abermathy, Homer Conley, Ward Coble, George Hill, Melvin Kates, Vernon Ward, Margaret Fort and Melville Wood. Speaking from the standpoint of dramatic production the play itself is undoubtedly better than Miss Culp's, "Father and the Frat," which was produced by the Thesian dramatic club last fall. Good lines abound in it, and there are several situations cleverly developed. But as a whole it does not hang well together.
Several things in the plot require a considerable stretch of the imagination, while the play rather leaves the impression that the Revolutionary heroes devoted their time chiefly to love and carried on the war as an incidental matter.
The play will be repeated to night.

TWO FELLOWSHIPS.
Open to Students in Department of Geology.
Prof. Erasmus $ ^{a} $ Haworth has received the announcement of a fellowship in geology, at Princeton University and an industrial fellowship at the University of North Dakota.
The Princeton fellowship will require work to be done in some special line in geology and special work on the investigation of high grade clays will be required in the fellowship from North Dakota.
"These fellowships," said Prof. Haworth, this morning, "each carry with them $400. I should be glad to recommend some of our students for these fellowships. It is a splendid opportunity for a student interested in geology."
Professor Humble lectured last Friday night at Pleasant Oak school house, near Clearfield, to a chapter of the Anti-Horsethief association. He also conducted an informal discussion on legal principles.

HELD LAST MEETING
Prof. A. J. Boynton Spoke to the Good Government Club.
The Good Government club held its regular bi-weekly meeting at the Sigma Chi House last night. Professor Arthur J. Boynton gave a short talk on the tariff.
Among other things, Professor Boynton said that he believed in the establishment of a permanent tariff board, and the entire removal of the tariff from the realm of politics. He also described the manner in which, under the present system, manufacturers lay their wants before congress and have their side of the question discussed without reference to the long-suffering consumer. He also stated that he believed the ordinary man is in no way qualified to pass judgment on any sort of a tariff.
This will probably be the last meeting of the Good Government club this year.
