KANSAS DROPS ONE GAME TO GRINNEL
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23.1911
IN CLOSE CONTEST IOWA FIVE WINS 17 TO 16.
Jayhawkers Beat Ames a Second Time—After Cotner Tonight Comes Nebraska.
The Jayhawker basket-ball five met its third defeat of the season at the hands of Grinnell College last night by the score of 17 to 16. Telegraphic reports are so meager that very little is known about the game. However, the score indicates that the contest was fast and close throughout. It is not known whether Hamilton played some of the substitutes in this game with a view of resting the regular tossers for the Nebraska game or not.
The second contest with Ames resulted in a victory for the local five by the score of 28 to 17. On account of a mistake by the telegraph operator the score was first announced as 78 to 17 in favor of Kansas, but the correct report as given out by Manager Lansdon this afternoon is 28 to 17. It is thought that Coach Hamilton started the first Ames game with several of the substitutes and was later forced to put the regular men in the contest to win the game. Tuesday's count would seem to show that the Jayhawkers played the Iowaans off their feet and then ran the score up to suit themselves.
The team meets Cotner University at Lincoln tonight and on Friday and Saturday night play the final contests of the season with the Cornhuskers. The games will not decide the championship of the Missouri Valley conference, because Kansas made it certain that that honor would rest with the Sunflower state by defeating Missouri and Ames in all four games that were played with them.
Coach Hamilton said before the team started on the trip that he thought the Kansas team had solved the Cornhuskers' style of play and that he expected the mer to win both games. Both the Cotner game tonight and the Grinnel contest do not count in the Missouri conference championship.
THURSDAY'S SPEAKER.
H. W. Charles of Topeka will speak under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. at 6:45 Thursday evening. He has chosen as his subject "Men in the Making."
Topeka Superintendent Will Speak on Boy Problems.
The seniors in the department of expression of the School of Fine Arts rendered "The Piper's Pay" at 3:30 this afternoon for the benefit of the Settlement house, in East Lawrence.
Mr. Charles is the superintend ent of the Boy's Industrial Schoo and has had a great deal of experience in this line of work.
OFF ON WEEK'S TRIP.
College Team Will Play Six Games With Smaller Schools.
Athletic relations between the University and several of the smaller colleges of Kansas will be resumed upon the basket-ball floor when the newly organized College basket-ball squad makes its trip next week. Since the ruling of the Missouri Conference limiting conference schools to eighteen games went into effect, athletic relations between the University and some of the strong schools of the state have been restricted to baseball, so that it is expected that the initial tour of the department team will be beneficial in creating a cordial feeling between the University and other Kansas schools.
The College team has won all of the games it has played this season, with the exception of the contest with the Kansas City Y. M. C. A. Tiger team at Kansas City. The men expect to win all the games of their trip, but they are expecting to be forced to their limit at both Florence and Chilooco. The game at Florence will probably be played under the A. A. U. rules and this will place the University men at a disadvantage.
The games that will be played are: Florence Y. M. C. A. at Florence on Friday night, Chilooco Indians on Saturday, Friends University on Monday, at Wichita, Fairmount College on Tuesday night at Wichita, the Bethany "Swedes" at Lindsborg on Wednesday night, and St. Marys College on Thursday night. The men who will make the trip are Hite, Nesbit, Malleis, Eisele, Young Carpenter, and Beamer. Manager Lanson will accompany the squad.
Not Hurt by Co-Education.
Professor George B. Mead, 69 the philosophy department of Chicago University, will deliver the annual Phi Beta Kappa address on Friday evening, March 3. Mr Mead is an excellent talker and comes with a national reputation as a speaker.
The speech will be open to the public and all members of the University are invited.
The catalogue of Bates colleges gives the names of 271 men and 207 women and shows that co-education has not made the college less popular with the men and the Greek and Latin Courses are surprisingly popular. The percentage of the increase of men is larger than that of the women. The young men of the college are obliged to study argumentation and must take part in public debate.
Phi Beta Kappa Speaker.
Professor F. W. Blackmar, dean of the Graduate School, returned Tuesday morning from a ten days business trip to San Francisco, Cal. While away Professor Blackmar visited both Stanford and California Universities.
LECTURE SERIES ON CIVIC PROBLEMS
DR. CHARLES ZEUBLIN WILL BE HERE IN APRIL.
Is a Noted Lecturer on Municipal Problems—Will Give Five Talks.
A series of lectures of more than ordinary interest to the University,was announced this morning by the committee on University lectures. Dr. Charles Zuoblin of Boston, Mass., a member of the National Municipal League and of the American Civic Association, and ex-president of the American League of Civic Improvement, will speak at the University during the week beginning April 24.

The titles of the lectures will be, "The New Civic Spirit," "The Training of the Citizen," "The Making of the City," "The Administration of the City," and "The Life of the Citizen."
A long career of activity in municipal problems has made Dr. Zueblin an authority on the subjects he will treat at the University. He was a member of the Chicago special park commission from 1901 to 1905 and held other positions in Chicago. He was professor of sociology in the University of Chicago from 1892 to 1908, and became noted in that time as a lecturer. He is now traveling independently a as publicist.

Company Will Make Hop an Annual Affair.
K. N. G. BALL SUCCESSFUL.
The University company of the Kansas National guards gave their annual military hop Tuesday night in Robinson gymnasium. The main floor was decorated with the national and regimental colors while red, white and blue bunting hung from the balcony. Strict military discipline was observed throughout the evening. Orderlies were detailed at every turn to assist the guests. Officers and privates were in full dress uniform. On account of the inclement weather no out-of-town guests were present. It is the intention of the company to make the hop an annual affair. Shanty's orchestra of seven pieces furnished the music.
Miss Helen Hughes, daughter of Judge Charles E. Hughes, of the supreme court, is a Vassar sophomore. Like her mother, she is very clever at mathematics, and is very fond of reading, like he father.
UNIQUE CHEMISTRY LUNCH
St. Peter's Cafe Entertained U. L.
C. Club.
The members of the St. Peters Cafe organization of the department of chemistry entertained the You Live Chapel club with a luncheon this noon in the office of Prof. H. P. Cady. The U. L. C. club is composed of members of the faculty of the various departments who usually take their noon meal on the hill. The place cards at the luncheon table were drawings on the table cloth which characterized in some way the work that the member is carrying on. For Dr. Naismith the place card was a drawing of a basketball. The place of Professor Dockery of the department of psychology, was designated by a picture of a brain; and the seat of Miss Hosford of the department of biology was made known by a green bug.
The guests at this unique entainment were Dr. James Neis smith, Professors F. H. Raymond E.F. Stimpson, T. T. Smith, and F.C. Dockery. Those who aranged the luncheon were Professors H. P. Cady, Florence Hedger, and H.J. Broderson.
The plates upon which the three course dinner was served were evaporating dishes; the coffee cups were casseroles and beakers served as glasses. The cooking for the luncheon was done by some of the members of the chemistry department on the electrical apparatus and over the bunsen burners.

THESPIANS GAYE "THE BACHELOR"
SUCCESSFUL PERFORMANCE IN F. A. A. HALL.
Will Be Staged Again Tonight
—A Pleasant Play Presented Pleasingly.
There were no calls from the gallery for "Boola" at the Thespian club play last night, but otherwise the sudden change made necessary by the burning of the Bowersock opera house was not noticeable. The production of "The Bachelor" was accomplished with rather fewer than usual for the hitches looked for in amateur plays, despite the fact that the stage conveniences in F. A. A. hall are meager, and the cast of the play was working upon a stage to which it is unaccustomed.
Fortunately "The Bachelor" is a play which can be staged with out elaborate scenery. The stage of Fraternal Aid hall had been supplied with sufficient accessories to make a creditable setting. The minor details of the setting had been well worked out.
"The Bachelor" is the story of a literary reviewer and his ward Claude Sowers took the part of the leading man and depicted the literary critic with ability and real delicacy and restraint. Everett Brummage as Mulberry, a quaint old bibliophile, was remarkably successful in his part. Of the feminine characters. Lola Eaton, as an acerbulous maiden lady, was the most successful. Brownie Angle, who played the part of the ward, has an engaging stage personality and her work was favorably received by the audience. Ethynne Williford and Edith Renn had the other feminine parts. Solon Emery, Manvel Davis, Alston McCarty and "Ike" Lambert were the other members of the cast.
The audience which saw the play last night about half filled the house. The performance will be repeated tonight.
ARE INTERESTED.
Disciplinary Committee Pursuing Gambling Investigation.
Although the Student Council has decided not to look further into the charges of gambling among students which were filed last week, the disciplinary committee of the University has shown considerable interest in the state of affairs which was disclosed. "We have taken no action as yet, except to question one or two men" said a member of the committee yesterday. "but we expect to keep in touch with the situation and find out all there is to be learned."
The ladies of the faculty entertained the girls of the University at a tea in the classical museum this afternoon.
