SPOKE ON REPORTING
Walter Johnson Advised "Cubs' Not to Be Funny.
Walter Johnson, managing editor of the Hutchinson News, spoke to the sophomore class in journalism yesterday morning on "Some Things a Cub Reporter Ought to Know." Mr. Johnson strongly advised against an attempt on the part of the young news writer to cultivate a humorous style. "If there were a pure humor law, similar to the pure food law," he said, "nine-tenths of our publications would be barred from the mails."

THREE-LEGGED RACE.
One Feature of Olympic Games Tomorrow Night.
The latest entry for the Olympic games, to take place at 7:30 tomorrow evening in Robinson gymnasium is an ambitious youth who desires to contest in a three-legged race. No such event has been pulled off at any Convention ball meet and just what kind of a mongrel race this will be is arousing some interest. It is however, expected that enough entries will be made to make it an international race—the Irish against the Dutch, it is understood.
Root's world-famed tumbling aerobats are scheduled for one of their justly celebrated performances. It is reported that the world's wrestling championship will be determined by the contests on the mat tomorrow evening. In case his proteges do not come up to all expectations, it is possible that Trainer Root will himself give a little athletic exhibition. The high-bar artists are expected to demonstrate their abilities.
Yielding to an insistent elamor from the boys who attended the games last year, it is probable that the management will stage that classic event known as a relay race between the pajamas and night shirts, represented by the laws and engineers respectively.

BAKER ON SATURDAY
A Hard Struggle With Methodist Baseball Players Looked for by Coach Ebright.
After the big high school meet Saturday afternoon there will be the second ball game of the season between the "Micks" and the men from Preacher town. The game there Saturday was a close affair of ten periods duration. It is true that the team that journeyed to Baldwin was not that which usually represents the red and blue on the field of battle, but the run for the money that the gentlemen of the black and orange gave them promises fair for a struggle worthy of the name on Saturday.
It is probable that Farrell will start the game in the box for K U. In spite of the fact that Ebright has five throwers on his staff, but three of them are available. Heizer and Seven are nursing bad arms and until they are in their proper condition it is to be doubted whether the coach will be able to use them. Baker has another pitcher who is said to be the equal of Kell, who pitched the game at Baldwin.
One thing about the team this year that is giving satisfaction to the coach is the fact that there are a bunch of hitters on the squad As the batting averages show, five of the regulars are hitting above the 300 mark.
On Saturday morning the freshmen will have the first chance to show what they really amount to At that time they will play the Herington high school team, which claims the championship of Central Kansas.
QUILL OUT TOMORROW
Magazine Said to be Replete With Good Stories.
The "Quill,"the annual literary magazine published by the Quill club in May of each year, will be out tomorrow morning after chapel. This year, the members of the club, recognizing the need of a college magazine at the University, have endeavored to make the present number a beginning in this direction. Heretofore the "Quill" has been representative of the class-room work of the club members only. This year many articles have been contributed by outsiders, and more especially most of the material has been written especially for the publication.
The contents comprise stories local sketches, limericks, and an editorial page. Harry Kemp has two poems in the issue. Two sketches that will appeal to local readers are, "A Girls' Day in the Swimming Pool" and "K. U. in Paradise."

W. B. Brownell spoke on "A Lawyer's Conscience," telling also the beginning of the Law School under "Uncle Jimmy."
R. O. Douglass, of the class of '09, who spoke on "I'm looking for the man who said 'to shoot,'" picturing very wittily the experiences of a young lawyer in the large city.
