WILL REPEAT BOTH FARCES
IS PLAN OF SOPHOMORE AND JUNIOR CLASSES.
At Some Time Following Sopho more Prom Plays Will Be Given in Fraternal Aid Hall.
If present plans are carried out, all of the students of the University, who were unable to see the Junior Farce at the Prom and those who will not see the Sophomore Farce at the Sophomore Prom next Friday night, will have the opportunity to see both at some time shortly after the Sophomore Prom.
Because of the many requests made by those who were unable to see the Junior Farce, the chairman of the Farce committee, Moe Friedman, has consented to repeat the play. Many have asked that the sophomore farce be given at the same time and Donald McKay of the sophomore farce committee, has consented to the plan.
THE WEATHER.
KANSAS CITY WINS
It is the plan at present to charge a small admission fee and to give the entire net proceeds to the Student Loan Fund. The committees believe that the money should be devoted to some worthy University cause and have decided upon the Loan Fund.
Tennis Championship in Doubles Singles Tonight.
The finals in the interscholastic high school tennis tournament were played in the gym this morning. The preliminaries between ten teams from schools throughout the state were played yesterday afternoon with the result that the semifinals included the teams from Wentworth Military academy, Kansas City, Kansas, Pittsburg and St. John's Military academy.
Kansas City defeated St. John and Pittsburg won from Wenthworth.
In the finals Kansas City won the first set by a score of 6 to 2, lost the second set by a score of 5 to 7 and won the third and fourth sets by scores of 6 to 3 thus taking the championship of the state. The singles, in which twenty men representing eleven schools are entered will be played tonight.
Fair tonight with light frost; Sunday fair.
The plays will be given in the Fraternal Aid hall. The reason for the selection of the Fraternal Aid instead of the Gym is that to give it at the latter place would mean the erection of a stage and the placing of scenery in the hall. With a permanent stage the plays could be staged more effectively and with less trouble.
GAVE OLYMPIC GAMES.
The announcement made today, however, is not definite and must be confirmed by the two classes and by the University authorities. It is understood that Louis Breyfogle, president of the Junior class opposes the repeating of the Junior Farce.
Large Crowd at Y. M.'s Entertainment Last Night.
NUMBER 89
In spite of the unfavorable weather an enthusiastic crowd of rooters including a large number of visiting high school athletes, enjoyed the Olympic game contests pulled off in the gym last night. "Mike" Lynch was the chief barker for the show and announced the different events with appropriate comment.
The three-legged race was the first number on the program. Six men ran in this event in which each man of a pair had his nigh running gear tied to that of his partner. Even with this handicap Badger and "Happy" Martindell lived up to their McCook field record by winning the race. Tim Shotts next entertained the crowd with an exhibition of his customary spectacular work on the high bars. The tumbling work by Brownlee and Babb was exceptionally good and was the best event of the evening to some of the crowd. A sack race caused the usual amount of amusement.
One of the best performances was the bag-punching by Assistant Physical Director Root. He had some stunts new to many of the men and the whole exhibition pleased the crowd.
The relay race, in which each man ran two laps on the running track, was received with its usual hearty approval. The engineer quartet elud in pajamas, defeated the four from the Law School, at tired in night shirts.
The last event of the evening was the wrestling match, in which 'Big' Smith won the championship of the school from Clay Roberts.
