LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEBRUARY 11, 1909
WASHINGTON28 JAYHAWKERS26
KANSAS LOST FIRST GAME IN ST.LOUIS LAST NIGHT.
Won from Warrensburg Tuesday by Score of 37 to 14-Washington again Tonight.
Last night the Kansas basket ball team lost its first game of the season in St. Louis to the strong Washington University five by a score of 28 to 26. The game was not a good exhibition of fast basket ball. The team work of the players was good in spots and ragged in others. The defeat of Kansas was due to the hard luck the Jayhawker forwards experienced in locating the basket.
In the second half the Washington five spurted up and overtook the Jayhawkers and in the last minute of play scored the goal which won them the game. The final score was 28 to 26.
In the first half the Jayhawkers played the Washington aggregation off their feet. They outplayed them in team work, in fact in every department of the game except in throwing baskets. With the great form which the Kansans showed in the initial half, they had a chance to secure a lead sufficient to win the game, but luck was against them and the half ended with the score 14 to 11 in favor of Kansas.
The game was not a rough one there being but two fouls made by each team. The Jayhawker free thrower was unable to locate the basket, while the Washington player made a perfect score.
In the first half McCune and Long played forwards, Heizer, center, and Martindell and Woodward guards. With the beginning of the second half Bergen was put in at center. Heizer was switched to Martindell's place and Johnson went in at forward for McCune.
Tonight the Jayhawkers will play Washington again. Manager Lansdon refused to play the game with a St. Louis official, so Ashley of the K. C. A. C. will officiate tonight.
Tuesday night the Jayhawkers defeated the Warrensburg Normal team 37 to 14. The game was fast and clean, the Kansans making but one foul and the Normalites fourteen.
The Kansas team played a great defensive game with no one starring. The team work of the Kansans showed much improvement over that exhibited against the Tigers last week.

PROFESSOR WEBSTER CLOSED
Lectured Yesterday on the Great Problems of Science.
Prof. A. G. Webster closed his scientific lectures under the auspices of Sigma Xi Wednesday afternoon by a discussion of the problems of Science in
He exhibited a resonator of his own design and the phonometer which he used for measuring sound.
Though much of Prof. Webster's addresses was too scientific except for the technical student, his lectures were well attended and enjoyed because of his pleasant manner of presentation.
Dr. Grenfell in Chapel.
Dr. Grenfell spoke in chapel this morning concerning his attitude toward life which has caused him to devote himself to the material and spiritual welfare of the deep sea fishermen. Dr. Grenfell has accomplished his work not by sermons but by coming into personal
TOMORROW the University is to play the host. The guest is to be the most important one in the state-the State Legislature.
It should seem unnecessary to urge the student body to turn out en masse to give the members such a welcome as they have never had before.
Every student in the University should realize the importance tomorrow of coming out and showing just what the great institution here has. The University does not want to show more than it has, NOR DOES IT WANT TO SHOW LESS THAN IT HAS.
It has over two thousand students. IT HAS A RIGHT TO EXPECT THAT EVERY ONE OF THESE WILL BE OUT. The University of Kansas depends upon the Legislature for its support. It is only fair to the Legislature that they have an opportunity to see all the students on the campus tomorrow. Many of the students have friends in the Legislature. Many of the members of the Legislature have friends in the University. When the members of these two bodies meet there should be some regular "old home" reunions.
A detailed story of the order of tomorrow's exercises is published in today's Kansan. READ IT AND UNDERSTAND JUST WHAT PART YOU ARE TO PLAY.
TOMORROW THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS EXPECTS EVERY ONE TO DO HIS DUTY.
the past, present and future. Knowledge concerning the conservation of energy was the great advance in physics in the nineteenth century. At present the problem is concerned with the properties of ether under various conditions. The structure of an atom and the possible universal importance of electrons in the construction of all matter will be a source of future scientific study.
On Tuesday afternoon, Prof. Webster spoke on the measurement of the loudness of sounds.
contact with the men on their ships, by healing their bodies and otherwise ministering to their physical needs. To overthrow the influence of grog ships among fishing fleets, Dr. Greenfell sold tobacco at cost from his ship to the fishermen, who thus did not care to go to the ships where they were tempted with liquor. He is thoroughly happy in his consecrated life and notwithstanding the struggles guarantees the same to all who live the life of true service.
ARRANGEMENTS ARE PERFECTED
PROGRAM FOR MEMORIAL SERVICE IS MADE OUT.
The Legislature, local G. A.R., Manhattan Students, and the University to Take Part.
The final arrangements for the Lincoln centenary celebration to take place tomorrow on Mount Oread have been made and the program has been perfected. Both branches of the Legislature, the local G.A.R., a representative aggregation of Manhattan students, many of the citizens of Lawrence, visitors from over Kansas, and the faculty and students of the University will take part in the appropriate ceremonies.
The members of the legislature will arrive in Lawrence over the Union Pacific from Topeka at 9:15 a.m. They will immediately enter their carriages and be conveyed to the University. They will be greeted at Lee street just above Myers Hall by the students.
The entire student body will be lined up tomorrow at 9:30 on both sides of the street from Snow Hall to Myers Hall. The legislators will pass through the double line and proceed to Snow Hall where they will descend from the vehicles. In the mean time the students will proceed to Robinson Gymnasium led by the University band. The senior class will precede followed by the Juniors, Sophores, and Freshmen in order.
As soon as the students are seated in the gymnasium the band will return to Snow Hall and accompany the legislature to the scene of the memorial exercises. That done the band will return a second time and usher in the assembled veterans of the Civil War.
As soon as the regular chapel services are finished the Chancellor will turn the services over to the G.A.R. The oration of the day will be delivered by Willis Gleed, of Topeka, a member of the board of regents.
The exercises in the gymnasium will be ended at 11:15 and until 1:15 the legislature will visit the different buildings on the campus and inspect the needs of the University.
From 1:15 until 3:30 the members of the legislature and other visitors will be entertained at dinner in the main floor of the gymnasium. From 3:30 to 4:15 the legislature will inspect the practical work being done in the University in teaching students the useful things of life. An organ recital in Fraser Hall, and the the picture exhibit in the museum building will occupy the attention of the visitors un-
