VOLUME V.
CORNHUSKERS WERE DEFEATED
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEBRUARY 2,1909
KANSAS TOOK GAME SATURDAY 18 to 13.
Missouri Comes for Two Games Tomorrow.—Missouri 26, Nebraska 24 Yesterday's Score.
The feature of the game was the guarding done by both teams. Johnson was put in at guard for Kansas and held Walsh down to three goals. For the first thirteen minutes of play neither team scored a point. It was eighteen minutes before Nebraska threw a field goal and Kansas did not get one until the second half. The score at the end of the first half was 8 to 2 in favor of Nebraska.
Last Saturday night in a sensational game, which was undecided until the referee blew his whistle at the end of the last half, the Jayhawker basket ball team won from the speedy Cornhuskers on their own court by the score of 18 to 13. On account of the snow storm the Kansas team was compelled to stay at Union, Nebraska, Friday and did not arrive in Lincoln in time to play the game scheduled for Friday evening.
At the beginning of the second half the Jayhawkers started in for blood and soon hit their old time pace overtaking the lead which the Cornhuskers had over them. Bell of Nebraska was disqualified in the second half and replaced by Jones.
Wednesday and Thursday nights of this week the Kansans play the Tigers in Robinson gymnasium. These will be the first intersection championship games for Kansas.
Miss Ruth Hunt spent Saturday and Sunday at her home in Kansas City, Mo.
"Phog" Allen was up to coach the Kansans last night. He says the men are all in good condition.
According to dope the Tigers should be defeated. At Lincoln last night the Tigers defeated the Cornhuskers by a score of 26 to 24. The Nebraska correspondent makes the defeat seem due to the fact that the Missourians would not play against Wood, the colored forward of the Nebraska team. Tonight the Tigers play at Manhattan.

CARRUTH STARTS
SCHOLARSHIP
Professor W. H. Carruth, head of the department of Germanic languages and literatures, has established a freshman scholarship of $100 for the graduates of the Lawrence high school who enter the university. It will be available to the graduates of 1909 and will be awarded to the candidate passing the best examination in entrance German. The examination will cover all of the two or three year course and will be conducted by members of the German department of the University. One-half of the amount of the scholarship will be payable November 1, and the other half May 1, 1910. It is the first scholarship provided for the benefit of Lawrence high school students. Professor Carruth has specified that the scholarship be known as the Frances Schlegel Carruth scholarship.

LAST JOINT CASE ENDED.
The Last Echo of the Scoop Club Newspaper.
Probably the last incident in the events following the Scoop Club's edition of the Lawrence Journal last spring occurred in the Douglas county district court yesterday when "Bull" Drake pleaded guilty of violating the prohibitory law and was fined $100 and given thirty days in jail.
Drake's was the ninth conviction which resulted from the Scoop Club's paper.
Henry L. Simpson '07 of Denver, Colo. visited at the University, Monday.
LEGISLATORS WERE HERE
TWELVE OF WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEES ON HILL FRIDAY.
J. W. Gleed for One Board of Regents for Two Schools-C. S. Huffman for Oread Hospital.
Owing to the inclement weather only twelve members of the ways and means committees of the house and the senate were able to visit the University last Friday. The twelve gentlemen present attended chapel, inspected the different buildings and looked into the work being done by the students and by the school at large.
At the morning chapel exercises all the legislators spoke. Representative Davis of Bourbon county, a former student of the University, made a splendid, practical speech in which he urged the University to get closer to and do more for the people of the state. His speech was in line with the recent action taken by the Chancellor in investigating ways to carry on extension work to aid the whole people.
Every senator and representative present stated that the University should be pushed ahead by the state and that the progress of the school should not be allowed to even momentarily stop.
Senator Huffman of Cherokee county, an old and consistent friend of the University, in his speech said that he favored giving the University an appropriation in keeping with the increasing wealth and prestige of the state.
A MEMORIAL FROM J. W. GLEED. Yesterday J. W. Gleed of Topeka presented a memorial to the legislature setting forth the proposition, backed by suitable arguments, that the University and the Agricultural College be put under the control of a single board of regents and of a single chancellor or president. He believes that under such a system the administration of the schools would be better and more satisfactory to all concerned.
FOR A STATE HOSPITAL HERE. Today Senator C. S. Huffman of Cherokee county introduced into the senate a bill providing

GRENFELL IS TO BE HERE NEXT WEEK.
Next week Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, the famous lecturer who is devoting his life to bettering the conditions of the fishermen along the Labrador coast, will be at the University. The committee has arranged for addresses on Wednesday and Thursday, and a public lecture to students at 4:30 Wednesday afternoon of next week.
Dr. Grenfell has been called the "Patron Saint of Labrador." After receiving a medical degree from the Labrador Hospital, he went as a mission doctor with the hospital ship "Albert," bound for the Labrador coast. In his own words he wished "to satisfy the aspirations of a young medical man and combine with them a desire for adventure and definite Christian work." This was the beginning of his work in establishing hospitals in Labrador. He is spoken of as surgeon, master-mariner, magistrate, financier, and reformer. He has written a large number of articles for magazines and papers. Dr. Boodin has one of his stories,'A Voyage on a Pan of Ice.' Dr. Grenfell is now making a lecture tour in the interests of his Labrador fishermen.
Don't Flunk the Freshmen.
Unless a first term student in the University has made a malicious failure in his studies it does not seem that there is any good reason to start him out on his college career with a list of "flunks." It seems to be a hobby with some instructors to flunk as many first term students as possible, especially is this true in the language and mathemstics departments. They do not make an allowance for the fact that freshmen, especially during the first term, are discouraged, that for the first time they are away from home, and that the work they do the first term may be no criterion to what they will do during the remainder of their University career. To fail these students serves only to make them more discouraged and drives many from school who otherwise would become good students. The second term is soon enough to begin the culling process on freshmen. -A Senior.
