A
FRESHMEN WILL WIN THE MEET
SCORES PREDICT VICTORY FOR FIRST-YEAR MEN.
Despite the cold weather and the wind, Coach W. O. Hamilton succeeded in taging one of the best track shows that has been seen on McCook field for some time. And that the coach knew what he was talking about when he said that a number of the 'Varsity records would be laid on the shelf was proven, at least in part by the results.
With the relay, broad jump,and to-mile run, three remaining events to be decided at the interclass track meet this afternoon the score shows that the freshmen are due to win. The score at the time of going to press is as follows: Seniors, 21, Juniors $ 15\frac{1}{2} $ Sophomores, 36; Freshmen, $ 48\frac{1}{2} $
There is probably no doubt that had weather conditions been favorable the hopes of the coach in record-breaking would have beer realized. Of the six events he predicted new records would be established, two were made.
The first was in the pole vault and the second in the 120-yard hurdles. The winner of the first record was Tod Woodbury, a freshman, who by breaking the record won his "K." The second record was etaken by Winter, a senior,who already holds a track "K." The men in the other events which the coach had hoped to establish new records were unable to set the required pace against the wind.

MUSIC FESTIVAL WAS A SUCCESS
MUCH TALENT DISPLAYED
AT ALL CONCERTS.
NUMBER 83
Despite Fact That Symphony Or chestra Was Delayed in Arriving, Satisfaction Was Given.
The Music Festival of 1910 was one of the most successful ever given at the University and this in spite of the failure of the Minneapolis Symphony Orehestra to reach Lawrence in time for a concert yesterday afternoon as scheduled. The concert which was to have taken place yesterday afternoon was given this morning at 9:30, before an audience almost as large as attended the regular concert last night.
The failure of a railroad to make schedule time from Denver was given by the manager of the orchestra as the reason why his musicians did not arrive on time. The orchestra left Denver immediately following a concert there Thursday evening, with the promise from the railroad company that the train would reach Lawrence in time for the concert the following afternoon. A partly disabled engine on one of the divisions caused so much loss of time, that the orchestra did not arrive in Lawrence until after four o'clock.
At the rehearsal held yesterday afternoon, Miss Esther Shaw, a junior in the department of music, played Mendelssohn's G minor concerto with the orchestra. It is the plan of Dean Skilton to have one of the more proficient music students play at the afternoon rehearsal of the orchestra each year.
The high opinion which the University public holds of the Minneapolis orchestra was more than justified by the concert last night. To the best musically educated persons in the audience, the "Symphony Pathetique" by Tschaikowski probably seemed the best played piece on the program at least, that is what one of them said today. To other people there seemed little use to try to make comparisons. The entire program was thoroughly enjoyed from beginning to end by the great audience. The "Hungarian Phantasy" which Prof. Carl Preyer played with the orchestra was enthusiastically received. Professor Preyer's playing has never been more brilliant than it was last night. Professor Hubach's solo, "Celeste Aida," accompanied by the orchestra was fully equal to the work of the artists who travel with the orchestra.
The first concert of the series, Thursday evening, was a recital by Genevieve Wheat Baal, soprano, and Richard Czerwonky, violinist. The work of Mr. Czerwonky was one of the fine features of the festival.
- Ticket holders accepted with out complaint the changed conditions made necessary by the failure of the orchestra to arrive in time for the concert yesterday afternoon. Nearly all adapted their own business to the time of holding the concert this morning and attended. No comment on the festival is heard except expressions of satisfaction.
THE WEATHER.
Fair tonight and Sunday; cooler tonight.
It is not known yet whether the sale of tickets will pay the expenses of the festival, but Dean Skilton said this afternoon that he believed it would pay out.
TO GIVE ALUMNI ADDRESS
Prof. C. M. Sharpe, of Missouri, a Commencement Speaker.
Professor Charles Manford Sharpe, dean of the Bible College of Missouri, at Columbia, will deliver the alumni address at commencement. Professor Sharpe was graduated from the University in '97 and received the degree of master of arts two years later. He spent a year at the University of Chicago engaged in work towards a doctor's degree.
While in the University, the Reverend Sharpe was pastor of the Christian church in Lawrence and was regarded as an able man. He was a keen student and a forcible speaker. He left the active ministry to take the chair of semitics in the Bible College at Columbia. About a month ago he was appointed dean. The college has four teachers in its faculty and about two hundred students. Some of its work is accepted for credits by the University of Missouri.
Received Pottery Kiln.
W. A. Griffith, professor of drawing and painting of the University, received yesterday a pottery kiln to be used in hardening and burning clay vessels which are moulded by students of the department of ceramics. The kiln will be installed on the third floor of snow hall the first part of next week. It is of considerable size weighing two tons.

WASHBURN MET DEFEAT, 6 TO 1
AN ERROR PERMITTED THEM TO SCORE.
Varsity Took the Lead in First Inning With 3 Runs Game Full of Errors.
By a tally of 6 to 1, Washburn was the victim of Ebright's balltossers this afternoon. At no time in the game did the visitors have a chance with Farrell's slants, while hits by the Kansas men were frequent and lengthy. The K. U. lad stook the lead in the first inning, when they fell on Miller's slants for three hits which, combined with errors, permitted three men to cross the plate.
From a fielding point of view the game wasn't much; the locals made all kinds of errors and the visitors were in the same class. Farrell was safe with men on bases and the only score that Washburn was able to slip across the pan came because of an error. The pitcher of the Washburn gang, who boasts of seventeen summers, had his troubles when there were Kansas men on the sacks.
Farrell struck out seven of the opposing batsmen, while Miller mowed down six of the locals.
WILL BUILD ADDITION.
To University School of Medicine at Rosedale.
An addition to the University hospital at Rosedale costing $80,000 will be built within a short time, according to a statement made this morning. That amount was appropriated by the legislature and will be paid to the University on July 1.
The present plans for the addition to the School of Medicine is to build a 200-bed annex to the present hospital. The building now holds only thirty-five beds and is not large enough to accommodate the needs of the school.
Plans are being drawn under the supervision of Dean H. G. Hoxie, of the school, and will later be presented to the faculty members for approval.
