ARE READY FOR TIGERS
THE JAYHAWKER BASEBALL COACH IS CONFIDENT.
Missouri Tomorrow and Saturday Only One Counts towards Championship.
Tomorrow and Saturday Kansas and Missouri meet for the first time this year on the baseball diamond. After the arrival of the Tiger team tomorrow it will be decided which one of the games will count in the championship series. According to a new ruling but two of the four games played with each school count toward the conference championship.
Coach Ebright is optimistic about the outcome of these two games. He is unable to figure where Missouri has any claim on them. He says that Capp, the pitcher that the Tiger manager is bringing along for the special benefit of the Jayhawker stick artists, is nothing out of the ordinary caliber. He has a plenty of speed, but then it's the speedy pitchers upon whom the Kansas sluggers fatten their batting averages.
Third base and short stop are the only perilous positions on the Jayhawker team. Huff at third is good but has not been under heavy enough fire to allow the coach to make an estimate of his playing. Palmer at short has been unsteady at times but the position is new to him. Nevertheless Ebright says the team will take two straight from the Tigers.
Both games will be called at four o'clock on account of the track meets which precede them.

Over Fifty Freshmen Wrote Stories—Open Meeting Next Tuesday.
Everett G. Young, a freshman engineer from Topeka, won the prize offered by the Quill Club for the best short story. He wrote a realistic railroad story entitled "All in the Day's work." The contest evoked considerable excitement and about fifty freshmen handed in papers. A prize of a five dollar gold piece and membership to the Quill Club was offered to all the freshmen for the best prose article not to exceed fifteen hundred words. The Quill Club has awarded honorable mention to the following contestants: Beulah Murphy, Linden W. Green, Louis Lyon, Ray E. Gilman, George Bowles, Elsie Luther, Dawn Childs, Will French, Ruth Van Doren, F. E. Wells and W. C. Mayer.
The Quill Club will hold an open meeting next Tuesday at 4:30. All the freshman contestants are invited to be present. The program will be posted on the Quill Club bulletin board.
WILL DEBATE
JAYHAWKERS AND SOONERS TOMORROW NIGHT.
Will Discuss Negro Question.- Butler and Merillat to Represent U. of K.
The last interstate debate of the year will be held tomorrow evening, when the representatives of Oklahoma University will discuss the fifteenth amendment question with the Kansas men.
R. E. Butler and C. C. Merillat will represent Kansas in this debate. Both men have debated against Oklahoma before. The Jayhawker men have been active in debating work for several years, and the discussion of the negro question tomorrow night will be hotly contested.
So far this year, Kansas has broken even on the debating question, having lost to Missouri and won from Colorado. Oklahoma won the debate last year.
Lee's Barber Shop is a place for quick work. He has four competent men.
FRENCH PLAY
WII BE GIVEN ON SATURDAY
New Stage in Gym to Be Used. Scenery Has Not Yet Arrived.
The French play people held their first regular rehearsal on the Robinson gymnasium stage yesterday afternoon. They labored under considerable difficulties since sixty freshmen were running a five mile relay at the same time. The scenery that the University bought and that will be used for the first time in the French play has not yet arrived.
The play, "Le Point de Mire," is a comedy full of action and clever instances. The story deals with two mothers whose fond matrimonial ambitions lead them into laughable predidaments. They vie with each other in trying to capture a young millionaire for their respective daughters. Their husbands join in the conspiracy, and the pursuit grows hot. A young architect enters into the plot to complicate matters, and the tangle is finally unraveled by his marrying one of the daughters.
PLANS ARE COMPLETED
NEXT THING IS TO GET THE MONEY.
Faculty Club House Soon to Be Reality.—Expect to Build This Summer.
Tuesday night a meeting was held to discuss the plans for the University Club House. It was decided to build a $12,000 club house during the coming summer if the necessary funds can be raised. The club will be similar to those in other university towns and the requisite to membership is to be or to have been connected with some university.
Several available sites are being being considered and elaborate plans are being devised by the committee. There will probably be a cafe in connection with the club where the bachelor members of the club can eat.
Freshman Pan-Hellenic Party. The freshmen of the eight fraternities will give a party in Fraternal Aid Hall, Saturday night. Freshmen only will be present.
