LINCOLN MEMORIAL SERVICES A GRAND SUCCESS.
Four Hundred Came Down From Topeka.—3,500 Heard Willis Gleed's Classic Oration.
The largest crowd ever assembled in Robinson gymnasium attended the Lincoln memorial services yesterday. That statement alone describes the success of the attempt to fittingly commemorate the 100 anniversary of the Civil war president's birth. It is safe to say that west of the Mississippi there were no such exercises, attended by such a representative and influential body of men and women as took place on Mt. Oread yesterday.
The members of one of the most progressive legislatures Kansas ever had, most of the state officers of the commonwealth, members of the faculty and student body of the great Agricultural school, the local veterans of the fierce intersectional conflict, friends of the University from all over the state and nearly every one of the 2,167 students of the University took part in the services.
The members of the legislature and their wives and daughters, the state officers and the clerks and stenographers in all branches of the state service in Topeka came to Lawrence yesterday morning on a special train over the Union Pacific. The special carried 394 Topeka visitors. Shortly after ten o'clock the long line of automobiles, cabs, carriages and private vehicles of all kinds arrived on Mt. Oread coming up Oread ave. from the north. At the head of Lee street the students of the University were lined up on either side of the street and through this double line the visitors passed. The guests alighted on the steps of Snow hall and refreshed themselves there. As soon as all the carriages had passed through the long lines the students, led by the band, marched into Robinson gymnasium. After the students were seated the legislators, greeted with lusty cheers, entered the hall and took their place on the platform. Assembled together at the front was a great democratic body of lawmakers, chosen by a great democratic people and facing a democratic student body from the democratic homes

JAYHAWKERS CAPTURED TWO
KANSAS 24, MISSOURI 19; KANSAS 23, WASHINGTON, 18.
Both Games Were Hard Fought. Kansas on High Road to Southern Championship.
Early in the second half "Tommy" Johnson put the Kansans three points in the van with a sensational field goal and a free throw. Till the end of the conflict Kansas maintained this lead adding two additional points at the very end of the game.
Yesterday evening in Columbia the Jayhawkers defeated Missouri for the third consecutive time this season by the score of 24 to 19. From the start neither contestant held a material advantage and the first half ended with ten points credited to each team.
Both teams played fierce basbetball but the Tigers, anxious to humble Kansas in Missouri territory, played the fiercest game and earned fourteen fouls before time was called. Kansas was caught fouling only four times.
Tonight Kansas and Missouri meet for the last time this year.
The Jayhawker basketball team avenged itself against the Washington University five in St. Louis Thursday night by winning the game 23 to 18.
The game from the start was a whirlwind affair,neither team being able to score for several minutes of play. The Jayhawkers got the best of the argument early in the game and kept the lead until the finish.
The sting of defeat still smarting from the first game with the Washington five, spurred the Kansans to such a pitch that they fought harder and faster than they ever did before. Every man on the Kansas team played a star game. The team work of the Kansans was almost perfect. The small court upon which the game was played somewhat handicapped the Jayhawkers in the first game, but it bothered them little in the second one.
Lowman of Missouri refereed the game.
The score for the Missouri game:
KANSAS PTS. POS. MISSOURI PTS.
McCune 2 f. Ristine 9
Long 2 f. Burrus 2
Heizer 4 c. Henley 6
Woodward 6 g. Gardner 0
Johnson 10 g. Bernet 2
