TRIED HONOR SYSTEM.
Prof. C. E. McClung, head of the department of zoology, when asked his opinion of the honor system today, said :
Zoological Department Took the Initiative.
The honor system, which is being considered by the Student council, has received a trial in the Zoological department of the University of Kansas. Last term is was installed in all the classes in the department. It was used in both mid-term and final examinations.
"The greater per cent of students keep their word when placed upon their honor not to give or receive help during an examination. There is always a few who take great delight in using a pony in front of an instructor. It is a game of chance, and they wish to "beat the game." But I think under the honor system, where the instructor is not present, the student will be less liable to cheat.
"In places where the honor system is a success the amount of cheating has been reduced to a minimum. If the signing of the honor pledge at the end of an examination paper keeps the small per cent from cheating, of those students who will cheat under the present system.

WON VICTORY OVER BAKER
METHODISTS BEATEN IN 10 INNING GAME.
In Spite of Winter Weather K. U Won 3 to 2.—Haller's Batting the Feature.
NUMBER 87
The stalwart fans who journeyed down to Preacher-town yes yesterday were amply rewarded by seeing the lads in red and blue win the first extra inning game of the season by a score of 3 to 2 In spite of the cold the game was one of the best exhibitions that the "Micks" have put on this year.
The story runs thusly: In the second inning Hanlon laced out a double and was advanced to third by Smith's sacrifice. Haller ther pounded the ball into the garder and Slip slipped home. The Baker lads were not dejected by this little occurrence, but promptly came back with two runs. Kell walked, Delinger hit, and both men scored when two of the Oreads made errors.
The Kansas pastimers tied the score in the fourth and from there until the tenth inning the battle raged fiercely with neither side having the advantage. In the final act, with two men out, Haller put the ball out of the lot and had reached second station before the Baker fielders could run it down Huff came to the stick and pulled the game out of the fire with a pretty single.
The feature of the game was the batting of Haller. This gentle man landed on the pellet three times with such severity that he traveled two sacks each time be fore it could be relayed in.
Locke pitched a good game and the longer he went the better he got.
Batteries—K. U., Locke and Smith. Baker—Kell and Anderson.
Hits—Off Locke, 5; Off Kell, 7 Struck out—Locke 9, Kell, 5.
