LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 27.1909
KANSAS 22 2-3
MISSOURI 62 1-3
JAYHAWKERS TOOK BUT ONE FIRST.
Tigers Were in Good Condition and Sprung Surprises on Hayerman.
Kansas 22% and Missouri 62% was the final outcome of the annual indoor clash between the Jayhawker and Tiger track teams in Convention hall, Kansas City, last night. Just as the Missouri dopesters predicted, the blithe young men from the land of the Jayhawk were on the small side of the score card from the first.
Luck did not break even in lsst night's meet but the best team undoubtedly won. The Jayhawkers were in every event from the start to the finish except the two-mile, which Steele, the wonderful runner from the Tigerland, not only won but in doing so he clipped almost half a minute off the Missouri-Kansas record, running the distance in 9:48 2-5.
In the fifty yard dash Douglas beat Haddock by a foot; Herzog beat Newbold in the low hurdles by a few inches; the shot put was won by Roberts of Missouri, who did only 37 feet and 5 inches, in other words 5 inches short of what Stephenson did against Baker—luck was against Kansas in these events.
An unfortunate accident occurred in the mile race, Cooley spiked Cleland of Missouri who fell losing about eight yards by the fall. The Missourian finished the race but was unable to catch the Jayhawker runners. Cooley was disqualified, giving Cleland second place.
Interspersed with the events of the dual meet were several invitation races. High school teams, Y.M.C.A. and picked teams made up the list of athletes.
Fifty-yard dash — Douglas, Missouri, won; Haddock, Kansas, second. Time: .05 3-5.
High jump—Bowling and Herzog, Missouri, and Smith, Kansas, tied for first place. Distance 5 feet 5 inches.
One mile run—Clark, Kansas, won; Cleland, Missouri, second; (Cooley disqualified). Time 4:41 3-5.
Fifty-five-yard high hurdles—Herzog and Bowling, Missouri ran a "dead heat," giving Missouri eight points. Time :07 2-5.
440-yard dash—Douglas, Missouri, won; Haddock, Kansas, second. Time: 54 3-5.
Shot put—Roberts, Missouri won, 37 feet 5 inches; Wilder, Missouri, second, distance 36 feet 81-2 inches.
880-yard run-Tipton, Missouri, won; Burgess, Kansas,

HELD MEETING
CHANCELLOR SPOKE TO MEN YESTERDAY MORNING.
Sentiment in Favor of Student Council Strong—Committee to be Appointed.
After the Chancellor's address, several students spoke upon the general sentiment in regard to the movement. Prof. W. J. Baumgartner, who has had much experience with student council work at Chicago University, explained in brief the workings of such a body.
Chancellor Strong addressed a large meeting of University men yesterday morning after chapel upon the needs of a student council. He mentioned a few problems connected with University life that could and should be regulated by the students themselves through their own organization. In his opinion it is absolutely necessary to have something of this sort to bring the students closer together and thus create a stronger college spirit. The Chancellor advocates a Student Union, a building where the students can assemble to chat and read and have a general good time. But this building can't be obtained from the legislature until it sees the necessity of such a building. If the student council gets behind this movement, it can get what it asks for.
A motion was unanimously carried that the Chancellor appoint a committee to make preliminary arrangements for a council, a report to be made within three weeks. This committee will be appointed the first of next week.

MASQUE PLAY MONDAY NIGHT
SECOND PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR.
"In the Bishop's Carriage" with "Madam Butterfly" as a Curtain Raiser.
The Masque Club will make its second appearance this year in the modern four act comedy drama, "In the Bishop's Carriage," at Bowersock's Opera House, Monday and Tuesday nights of next week.
This is the twelfth regular performance of the Masque club and it will have an additional attraction in the shape of "Madam Butterfly" as a curtain raiser. This artistic little sketch is the work of David Belasco, and is a remarkable reproduction of Japanese pathos and emotion. A special feature of "Madam Butterfly" is the acting of a child, little Amy Irene Radcliffe.
The dramatization of the main play is based on the book by Miriam Michelson and is chiefly the work of Channing Pollock, one of the foremost American dramatic critics. The plot of the play centers about Lombroso's theory that criminals are not necessarily all bad, but that there is one cell in the brain thus diseased. This cell can be made normal by applying strong moral influences, and thus the criminal tendencies can be overcome.
The cast is composed of seventeen people, all exceptionally well fitted to their parts. The costumes have been secured from Kansas City, and one set of scenery from Omaha,
"KING" COLE RETAINED.

WILL COMMENCE SERIES OF LECTURES THURSDAY.
Dr. van Eeden of Holland to be Here.—Vanden Broek Tells of Him.
J. A. Van den Broek, a sophomore in the Engineering School is a native of Holland and is well acquainted with Dr. F. van Eeden the famous author and psychologist who will begin a series of five lecture at the University next Thursday April I. Mr. Von den Broek spent a week in the home of the great man near Amsterdam when visiting in Holland last summer.
After being graduated from Amsterdam University in medicine Dr. F. van Eeden went to Paris with the idea of continuing special work in that line. Here he became interested in psycho-theuropy and when he returned to Holland established a clinic in Amsterdam. He made a great success of his venture as he was the first man to introduce hypnotism into Holland. He has now withdrawn from the practice of medicine for though still interested in it he wishes to give more time to literary and sociological studies.
Dr. van Eeden became the leader of a new school of literature in Holland by publishing his book "The Quest" in 1880. This work is so highly regarded in Holland that it is studied in the high schools much as Shakespeare is studied in America. He is the author of many other books both literary and scientific. Most of them have been translated into German and two of them into English.
Dr. F. van Eeden is a pronounced socialist and has contributed much money to communistic enterprises to help the laboring men. He is however in no way an agitator and takes an active share in the events of the day only when he can be of practical help to his people. By successful mediation between striking railroad men and their employers he has secured the warm friendship of the men and the thorough respect of the employers.
