In a fast game Thursday night the Tiger basket ball team defeated the Washington team in Columbia by a score of 28 to 21. The game was spectacular from the first and at the end of the first half the score was 19 to 15 in favor of Missouri. The Washington players were unable to locate the basket but played an aggressive game.
Ristine, Henley, Bernet and Gardner of the Missouri team finished their college basketball career in this game.
Tonight in Robinson gymnastium the Jayhawker basketball team will tangle with the team from Washington University. If this game is won by the Kansans the championship of the southern division is also won.
"Tommy" Johnson the speedy Jayhawker forward will not play in tonight's game unless he is compelled to do so. Coach Allen wishes to save him for the conference champion-ship series which will be played with Nebraska soon.
Manager Lansdon intends to make the following proposition to Nebraska concerning the place where the final games will be played in case Kansas wins the southern section: That one game be played in Lincoln and one in Lawrence and in case each team win one game, that the final be played in Kansas City.
Prof. H. P. Cady went to Kansas City this morning to attend a meeting of the Kansas City section of the American Chemical Society.
Prof. E.M. Hopkins delivered a lecture on "Literary Criticism" at the annual open meeting of the Ladies' Literary League of Abilene, Kansas, last Friday evening.
PAINTINGS TELL THEIR STORIES
"The more an observer puts into a picture, the more he will get out of it," says Prof. W. A. Griffith to the picture lover. "Just as the more a person learns about Shakespeare, the more he appreciates what that poet has written, so if the general character of the painter's life is known, it adds much to the meaning of that man's productions."
Pictures are representations of instances of time. They cannot show movement, they can only suggest it. There are pictures which tell a story other than the mere scene which they represent.
One of the best story telling pictures in the art exhibit is "The Broken Contract," by Walter MacEwen. The setting of the picture is in the middle ages when marriage contracts were made. Who broke the contract and why, are questions suggested to the observer. The emotions of the characters stand out clearly. One class of people will see in this picture a deep tragedy depicted. Others will see in it a masterpiece from the technical point of view.
"The Intermezzo" by Henry S. Hubbell is another picture with a story. A violinist is playing a concerto. During one of the intermissions, he drops upon a divan in perfect relaxation, while the woman accompanist plays the interlude.
"The Gold Fish," by Albert Herter, is a masterful thing almost oriental. "The Bowery Scene" by Sloan is one of the best story pictures in the exhibit, depicting a scene of life in the lower strata of New York society.
A recent addition to the art collection is a clever optical illusion by Nyman Green, the silhouette artist.
The exhibit will be open on Washington's birthday.
Kemp Next Tuesday
Harry Kemp will give a new lecture next Tuesday evening in Fraternal Aid hall for the benefit of the City Y. M. C. A. The proceeds of the lecture will go to pay a deficit of $125 that the association incurred during the convention here.
JAYHAWKERS TO PLAY NINE GAMES NEXT FALL.
FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
GAMES NEXT
Same Teams That Met Ever Victorious Squad Are Booked for Games in 1909.
Manager Lansdon has arranged the football schedule for next fall and made it public. Nine games are contracted for despite the fact that the conference ruling permits only eight. The contracts were already signed before the rule was adopted and Kansas will not come under the new order next fall.
The Nebraska game which was due in Lawrence will be played in Lincoln next November. The reason for this change is that all the big games were coming on McCook one year and the next year only minor contests were played in Lawrence. This last season Nebraska and Iowa, the big teams on the schedule, were met on their own gridirons and to vary this arrangement and to give the students one big game each year, the Nebraska game was put in Lincoln two years in succession. The Iowa game will be played on McCook Field on Nov.20.
The same teams that played the evervictorious team last fall will be pitted against the Jayhawkers next year. The order of their coming is varied somewhat. Oklahoma is the third team on the schedule instead of the fourth and Manhattan comes fourth instead of third.
The schedule follows:
Sept. 29 Normal McCook Field
Oct. 2 St. Mary's McCook Field
Oct. 9 OklahomaMcCook Field
Oct. 15 K S A C Manhattan
Oct. 23 WashingtonMcCook Field
Oct. 30 Washburn Topeka
Nov. 6 Nebraska Lincoln
Nov. 20 Iowa McCook Field
Nov. 25 Missouri Kansas City
