MANUAL WON ANNUAL MEET
WOODBURY WAS STAR INDIVIDUAL POINT WINNER.
Eight Schools Entered the Second Invitation Meet. Loving Cups and Medals Awarded.
Seven Academic schools and the University freshmen, including in all ninety-seven athletes, took part in the second annual invitation track meet held on McCook field this afternoon.
The attendance was fair and included for the most part high school enthusiasts, who carried with them an abundant supply of pennants, banners and high school yells.
The score of the schools entered was as follows: Manual 47, Central 36, Freshmen 21 1-2, Wentworth 14, Westport 8 1-2, Lawrence 5, Perry 5, Overbrook 5. The individual high scores were: Woodbury of Central 16 1-2; Kanatzer of Manual 13; Craig of Manual 10; and Wyatt of Wentworth 10.
The work of Woodbury, the great Central athlete, was easily the star performance of the meet. Stark, the Perry broad jumper, made a leap of 21 feet 4 inches, eight inches above the inter-scholastic mark. Kanatzer, the Manual weight man, took his customary points in his events in his usual phenomenal fashion.
Loving cups and medals were awarded on McCook after the meet was over.

LOST TWO MORE.
Missouri Took Second Game and Washington Won First.
Thursday afternoon the Jayhawker baseball team met defeat again at the hands of the speedy Tigers. The score was 11 to 2. The loss of the game was due to the poor playing of the Kansas men and the superb work of the Missourians.
Yesterday afternoon the Washington team of St. Louis whipped the 'Varsity by a score of 9 to 2. This afternoon's game counts on the championship series.
R. J. Shetlar, of Conway Springs, who was forced to withdraw from school early last fall on account of his eyes, visited the Law school Tuesday. He will resume his University work next year.
PLAYED LOVE AND FOOTBALL
"IZMIENA" FEATURED MAIN POINTS OF K. U. LIFE.
Seniors' Clever Play Took Well before Crowded Houses.—Annual Was Well Received.
This year's senior play "Izmiena" which was put on for two highly successful performances Thursday and last night, had for its theme the complications which ensue when professionalism, gambling and rivalry in love become involved in a college football situation. The scene was laid at the University of Kansas and the time was any time. The play was saturated with the University atmosphere and a few keen personal hits heightened the local color. "Izmiena" was not especially difficult of interpretation as all the situations were such as the cast had become familiar with in the course of their four years' sojourn on the hill, but the work was all cleverly done and the interest of the play was sustained throughout.
Keith Clevenger as the villain and traitor, which in Russian is "Izmiena," carried the most difficult role. The scenes between Miss Ruby Phillips and Harry McClure, the hero and heroine of the play, and Miss Gertrude Copley and Tom Gowenlock as the principals in another University "case," were played with skill and effect.
Miss Alma Manley as the gushing freshman and Buster Brown as the gastronomic wonder, played the comedy parts and never failed to raise a laugh. Marlin Poindexter portrayed well the moneyed "sport" to whom the game means only money. Other parts were taken creditably by Miss Amarette Weaver, Miss Jessie Baldridge, Miss Nadia Thomas, Miss Grace Hornaday, Miss Gertrude Eson, Miss Elizabroke Stephens, Ward Cook, Paul Farragher, Fred Hesser, Harold Armsby, Leonard Pulliam, Billy Rice, Merle Prunty, and Ward Coble.
Paul Farragher was the chairman of the committee which produced the play. The other members were Miss Alma Manley, Miss Amarette Weaver

LACK INTEREST
STUDENTS HAVE NOT PURCHASED TICKETS YET.
"K's" and Emblems to be Awarded at the Big Y. M. C. A. Banquet Wednesday.
The members of the various athletic teams who are entitled to K's for their work during the season will receive them next Wednesday evening at the banquet to be held in honor of the University's representatives. Possibly the baseball players will not be included because the season is not yet over. The 'varsity debaters will also receive the emblems which have been secured for them.
Chancellor Strong will preside as toast master and responses will be make by Dean Green, Manager J. M. Lansdon, the athletic coaches, Prof. D. L. Thomas of the Debating Council, and Ralph Spotts on behalf of the student body.
The committee in charge of the banquet has been disappointed by the lack of interest thus far manifested by the students. If the occasion is to be made the success which so desireable a University function deserves it will be necessary for many students to buy tickets or to notify some member of the Y. M. C. A. cabinet of their positive intention to do so this evening or by chapel time Monday morning.
Visiting Dean Sayre.
The President of the National Association of United States Pharmacists, Professor Joseph P. Remington, of Philadelphia, is expected here today. He will remain until Monday as the guest of Professor Sayre, when he will go to Independence, Kansas to address the State Pharmaceutical Association. Professor Remington is dean of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, and is one of the big men of his profession in the United States.
Will Go to Europe.
Miss Maude Cooke of the Fine Arts department will sail for Europe, June 3. She expects to spend the summer studying with an eminent artist in Berlin. Miss Cook will return to K. U. next fall to continue her work as instructor in piano.
