KEIO NINE PLAYS VARSITY IN MAY
THE JAPANESE SQUAD WILL TRAVEL 18,000 MILES.
This Ball Team Is Champion of Japan—Trip Includes New York and Honolulu.
The base ball team of Keio University will make a trip of 18,000 miles, one of the longest trips that any University team has ever made in the United States. The team will play the varsity team here on May 11, or their way to the East. The following is a copy of the circulent sent to Manager Laudson, describing the trip that the men will make and the style of play that they have adopted: "The team will leave Japan on April 12 and will arrive in Seattle on April 28. They will go as far east as Washington, D.C., and New York, returning to San Francisco by June 21. Then they will leave for Honolulu for a series of ten games there. This is the strongest team Keio will have for several years as she loses a majority of her players by graduation. This is the first year that such a tour was ever made by a Japanese team and will be the last for several years, as upon graduation they serve two years in the Japanese army."
The players are small men, of an average height of five feet and four inches. They are exceptionally fast fielders and on the bases and play a very heady game. They are adepts at the hook slide used by Cobb and other famous players. Shaffer of the New York Giants, has been coaching them all the winter.
Keio has the champion base ball team of Japan, both of college and otherwise.

POWER OF FAITH.
At Y. M. Professor Culbertson Discusses Religious Hypotheses.
"A Growing Faith" was the subject on which Prof. H. C. Culbertson, president of Emporia College, spoke at the regular Thursday evening meeting of the Y. M. C. A. "There are four things that one should believe," said the speaker. "These are a belief in God, in a divine Jesus in the immortality of the soul,and the personal moral responsibility to a higher being. In every branch of life we take things for granted, and so we should also admit hypotheses in our religion. One hypothesis should be that God is love and that the supreme law of the universe is the personal love of Jesus."
"A miracle," he continued, "is an event well attested to by the onlookers and which in some measure we have not yet been able to classify by any natural law. Simply a wonder is no miracle and would give no control over a person's morals. The miracles of Jesus reveal God, while those of a generation afterward attributed to him are mere fancies. God is so far above us that he can speak to us only under limitations as when we speak to children. Hence God will speak to us only under the limitations of the trials of a life. One's conception of the universe depends on his interpretation and theory of life and true conception of Christianity takes the believers a step upward as no other religion can."
LECTURED TO TEACHERS.
Prof. Culbertson closed by giving an instance of two university students who were graduated together; but because of a difference of the conception of the universe, one of these fellows is now on the way to success financially by taking bribes while the other is on the way to success by helping his fellow men.

WILL KEEP RECORDS.
Physical Director Will Compare Gymnasts and Others.
In order to gain exact information on the physical condition of the students taking the regular gymnasium work, Dr. James Naismith has appointed two members from his class in anthropometry for each of the freshman and sophomore gym classes. These students will examine the freshmen and sophomores, beginning next week, in running the 100 yards, putting the shot, high jump, sight, hearing and touch. The strength in weight lifting will also be recorded. By means of the instruments in the gymnasium the pulsation of the heart and the lung capacity will be tested.
It is Dr. Naismith's plan to keep an accurate account of the gain or loss of the students in the gym classes. At the beginning of the year such a test of the students was made before they were admitted to the classes. The report which the anthropometry class makes will be compared with the first record. A large card index has been installed in the University physician's office for the filing of the records.
The Resurrection of Jesus.
Prof. W. C. Payne will lecture to the women of the University at 3 p. m. Sunday, April 9, at Myers hall. The question of the "Resurrection" is of vital and abiding interest. Turn aside for an hour and think upon it. Mrs. Blanche Lyons and Mr. Quay Barnett will sing.
