HIGH SCHOOLS MEET MAY 7
TENNIS TOURNAMENT FOR HIGHS AT SAME TIME.
Annual Meet Promises to Be Best Ever Held—Many Prices for the Winners.
The University of Kansas will hold its seventh annual high school track meet on May 7. The entries close next Saturday evening, but even now the prospect for the meet this year are more promising than last spring, when the meet reached the high watermark.
Manager Lansdon sent out entry blanks to the accredited high schools of the state, several weeks ago and the entries have, for the past few days, been coming in rapidly.
The prizes this year will be the same as last year; gold medals for first places, silver for seconds, and bronze medals for third places. To the team wining the relay and to the athletes breaking records and those securing the highest number of individual points, silver loving cups will be given.
Owing to the fact that the schools in Kansas City and the other larger schools just outside the state, such as Joplin, St. Joseph, and Springfield will probably not enter this meet, the smaller schools throughout the state will be given a chance to win against some of the larger schools.
In connection with the track meet this year, the third annual inter-scholastic high school tennis tournament will be held. Four cups will be offered as tennis prizes; two in the singles and two in the doubles. A championship cup and a consolation cup will also be given.
On May 21 a meet for the schools outside the state and the schools in the state winning large numbers of points in the meet of May7 will be given, and prizes similar to the ones awarded in the first contest will be given.
Praise for Dean Skilton.
Lawrence World.
The large audiences which filled the gymnasium at the three concerts just closed shows conclusively the valuable work accomplished by Dean Skilton of the School of Fine Arts, whose untiring efforts have made it possible for Lawrence to hear each year some of the best musicians of the country. The fact that he has brought the attendance to the point where the festival is a success financially, is secondary in value to the development of the sense which enables the public to better appreciate good music.
Judging by the results of recent years, the enrolling of guardants will be unnecessary in the future. The festivals which at first drew attendance as a novelty, have now become a part of the work of the School of Fine Arts and are looked forward to with pleasure by the people of the town.
Quill Being Printed.

An Order Against Smoking on Athletic Field Issued.
THE 'PILL' MUST GO.
"No smoking inside the wire in closure."
Every entrance to the wire enclosure of the athletic field at Me Cook and the doors of the club houses on the field are adorned with one of these signs. They were put up by the athletic management because of the bad impression given to visitors by men in athletic suits on the athletic field smoking.
For the most part the offenders are members of club baseball teams and enthusiastic fans who frequent the field during practiced hours. Several members of the 'Varsity baseball team also in-dulge in the use of "last drag" occasionally, and it is desired that this be stopped on the athletic field.
"Dick" Waring, assistant athlete manager, said this morning that the order will be enforced and that the first time anyone is caught breaking it he will be taken off the field. This order will apply to everyone who has occasion to enter the wire enclosure.
SAYS RUGBY IS SAFER.
Prof. Murray Thinks It Is Due to Small Use of Tackle.
Prof. E. W. Murray, who was the first Kansas Rhodes scholar, had an article in the Kansas City Star Sunday, describing the game of Rugby football. "Passing and kicking are the great features of Rugby play," says Professor Murray. "They are so commonly used that one rarely sees a desperate tackle in a Rugby game. This feature differentiates Rugby from the American game and eliminates that feature of our game which its opponents deplore most of all. It is the tackle in one form or another that is responsible for most of the injuries caused by our game. It should be understood, however, that Rugby is not free from injuries, but the injuries received in this game are sprained ankles and broken bones, such as a track man or baseball player may receive. The more serious concussions and torn ligaments are extremely rare."

CEREMONIES WERE HELD
AT LAYING OF WESTMINS TER HOUSE CORNERSTONE.
A Number of Prominent Presbyterians Spoke at Exercises Held Sunday.
The laying of the corner-stone of Westminster hall, located on Oread avenue across from the water-tower, took place last Sunday afternoon with exercises suitable to the occasion. On account of the cold wind the program was given in the assembly room of Myers hall, until the point in the proceedings when it was necessary to place the box and its contents in the corner-stone of the building.
Hon. A. C. Mitechell, '89, who has been one of the local Presbyterians actively concerned in the plans for the building, presided at the meeting and made a few remarks. Of special interest were the remarks of Dr. W. G. Banker, who did so much while pastor of the Lawrence Presbyterian church to secure Dr. F. A. Wilber for the religious instruct or of University students. As the student pastor, Dr. Wilber sook of the past work and possibilities of the future.
Indicative of the cordial attitude of others for the enlarged work to be done by Dr. Wilber were the remarks of Dr. Wallace Payne of the Myers Hall Bible chairs and of Chancellor Strong in his greetings from the University. The list of the contents of the box going into the cornerstone was read by W. W. Cockins, the donor of Westmister hall In addition to pamphlets explaining the history and aims of Westminster Association there was much information in regard to the Presbyterian church in general. Copies of the Lawrene dailies, of the University catalog and student directory, Sunday school helps and a copy of the Bible were also placed in the box.
At the evening meeting at the church the history of the move ment resulting in this Westmins ter hall were discussed by Prof E. Miller and E. F. Caldwell, '85 as well as by Mr. Cockins, Dr Wilber and Dr. Banker.

WENT TO KANSAS CITY.
Professor Parmelee Accompanied Students There.
Accompanied by Prof. M. F. Parmelee, more than twenty University students, most of whom were members of Professor Blackmar's class in Remedial and Corrective Agencies, made an inspection of several institutions in the two Kansas Cities last Saturday. Though there were about two dozen people who started with Professor Parmelee at the School for the Blind in Kansas City, Kan., at 9 o'clock in the morning, his following had dwindled to five boys when he suspended inspections at 5 in the afternoon.
After watching the blind men making brooms and the girls at their sewing and hearing both boys and girls read from their text books, the students went to the office of the Associated Charities. There they were joined by Frank G. Brainerd, supervisor of the work, who took them to see the organization's Shelter Home for women. Mr. Brainerd took the visitors through the district known as "The Patch." It consists of the hovels of foreigners crowded together without regard to sanitary conditions.
After securing a lunch in Kansas City, Mo., the students went to see the settlement work of the city known as Franklin Institute at 19th and McGee streets. Much good is accomplished for the people of that neighborhood especially through library, play ground and day nursery for the children. J. T. Chafin, who directs the work, is to be in Lawrence and speak at the Y. M. C. A. meeting Thursday.
The Pi Upsilons will give a party in Ecke's hall, on the night of May 6.
An informal party will be given by the German club next Monday night.
