JAYHAWKERS 3 WASHINGTON2
FIRST EXTRA SESSION GAME OF THE SEASON.
Pitcher's Battle after Fifth Inning —Timely Hitting of Walker in Twelth Won Game.
Yesterday afternoon the Jayhawker baseball team redeemed itself for all the bad plays that have been pulled off on McCook field by the Kansans this year, by winning a twelve inning game from Washington University. Kansas tied the Washington score of 2 runs in the fifth inning and that ended the scoring until the final session, when Walker with two out and two men on bases smashed a liner over third base for three sacks, winning the game. The game counted on the championship.
Harlan was in the box for Kansas and right nobly did he perform, allowing the visitors five scattered hits. Mengse, a southpaw, did the pitching for Washington. He was as steady as a clock until the last inning when he was touched for two singles and a three sacker.
Washington began the scoring in the first inning. Two errors followed by a hit netted Cayou's men a run. Again in the third session they scored a run on errors followed by a hit. The Jayhawkers got their first run in the fourth and followed it up with another in the fifth. Up to the twelfth inning the game was one big pitchers' battle.
Huff played at short stop and Palmer held down third base. The change proved to be a good one as Huff accepted every chance he had without a bobble. Heizer replaced Haller in the fifth inning and Fisher went in at third in the ninth. The features of the game were Huff's fielding and the timely hitting of "Hutch" Walker.
TRENHOLME SPOKE INCHAPEL
Missouri Professor Discusses Relation of Two Universities.
Prof. N. M. Trenholme, professor of history in the University of Missouri, spoke in chapel this morning. After a reference to football and track athletics, he spoke of conditions which Missouri and Kansas universities have in common,
namely, the self-reliance of the students. Prof.Trenholme considers this more characteristic of western schools than those of the East in which he has also had some experience.
He spoke favorably of the student senate being organized at Columbia, as he believes it will be better for the University than the disciplinary committee of the faculty which can not be in entire sympathy with the students.
However he maintained that there is a distinct need for a higher level of student responsibility in many universities. Self-control should be developed and and students should not take unwarranted holidays by p frequent cutting of classes.
Notice to Students.
Students who have tickets for the May Festival may show them to instructors to be excused from classes tomorrow afternoon.
GALA DAY
MAY FETE COPIED FROM ENGLISH CUSTOM.
To Excell Last Year's Entertainment in Elaborateness-250 Students Take Part.
The May Fete which will be given Saturday afternoon is partially copied from the elaborate pageants given in England every year. One of the largest of these is the Chelsea pageant which in 1908 consisted of 10 scenes with 1040 characters. According to eye witnesses this pageant was a three hours feast of glorious color, of life and movement and music presenting the picture of dramatic groups and historic scences. Several of the episodes given in the Chelsea pageant will be presented at the Fete on Saturday.
The plans for this year's Fete are much more elaborate, than those of last year. Two hundred and fifty students will take part. Some special costumes have been ordered from Kansas City for the various groups of players. The University band will give a concert before the pageant starts. Many old English dances have been prepared for the Fete. A band of gypsies will have their tent on the campus. A group of minstrels will furnish music. There will be court fools, Friar Tuck, a real live lamb, pie man, and many other Old English characters.

HELD DEBATE

The debate was given before a small audience but despite that fact the argument was well handled and interesting.
The men representing the affirmative side of the question were: R. S. Pierson, Phi Gamma Delta; C. W. Milton, Sigma Nu; H. C. Allphin, Phi Delta Theta; F. E. Pettit, Phi Kappa Psi. Those on the negative were: Rollin Perkins, Beta Theta Pi; Frank Parker, Sigma Chi. The judges were Professors D. L. Thomas and O. D. O'Leary of the University and H. B. Peairs, superintendent of Haskell Institute. The winner was Rollin Perkins, and F. E. Pettit and H. C. Allphin were given second and third places respectively.
