KUPFER VS. PHILLIPS
Senior Has Brought Suit Against Freshman.
One of the results of the rigid enforcement of the freshman cap rule last week is a case in moot court of assault and battery in the Law school. The plaintiff is Louis Kupfer, a senior law and the defendant is Homer Phillips, a junior law. The case will be tried in moot court after the Easter holidays.
The facts of the case are that Phillips assaulted Kupfer one day last week when the latter was trying to enforce the rule that all freshmen wear the official lid. Phillip's refusal to don the cap and his actions toward the upper-classmen caused him to be severely paddled at the time. Kupfer however was not satisfied and has brought action against his attacker.
A paddling will be administered to the losing man by the members of the jury, who will be picked from the three law classes. Kupfer during chapel this morning gained the names of his witnesses. He has chosen as his attorneys Leonard Hamner and A. O. Andrew, both senior laws. Philips has decided that Clem Parker will be one of the counsel for the defense. He will chose another attorney soon. The jury will be empanelled after the holidays.

FRESHMEN ARE RIGHT.
Varsity Forced to Hustle to Beat Tyros.
The varsity baseball team has had its hands full in the practice games the past week on McCook field with the freshman nine. Hal Harlan presented each of his athletes with a suit the first part of the week and the result has been that the first year men have played the 'varsity squad to a standstill. A majority of the games played recently have been won by the freshmen.
Zabel and Walker, the freshman twirlers, have held the varsity batters down to a small number of hits. All of the freshmen are fielding the ball well and Campbell, catcher, is holding the speedy pitchers with improved form. The batting averages of the freshmen have been as good if not better than the varsity men during the practice games. Delaney, first base, and Wilson, third base are continuing to lead the freshmen hitters.
The freshmen have been working out every afternoon for the past month and now that the squad has been cut down are playing a good brand of ball. A trip is being planned for the team later in the spring.
IOWANS WILL TAKE TRIP
Scientists to go to Laysan For Specimens.
Iowa City, Ia., April 13.—Today saw the departure of the most important scientific expedition ever sent out by the State University of Iowa. The expedition consists of a party of four, headed by Prof. Homer D. Dill. The objective point is the Layson Island, located 800 miles southwest of the Hawaiian group. The party will remain on the island three months collecting scientific material relative to the study of bird life.
The material secured will be brought to the university, mounted and assembled into a realistic production or cyclorama of the scene of Laysan. More than 400 mounted birds will be used in the reproduction, with countless others painted on the scenery forming the background. The undertaking is believed to be the largest and most important of its kind ever attempted by any American educational institution.
The old darky was probably the worst scared man in town and told his story to all who would stop to listen to him.
One of the interesting features of last nights wind storm was the story told by an old colored man who was standing in the post office trembling with either excitement or fear or both at what had just happened in his presence a few minutes before.
A Scared Darky
"I was standing there talking to a little boy when all at once a big gust of wind picked him up and carried him clear over my head and out of sight," said the old man, it being pitch dark during the storm only at those intervals when flashes of lightning lit up the sky. "I went and got a lantern and started out to hunt for him but I couldn't find him anywhere."
SOPHOMORE PAN-HELLENIC
The sophomore Pan-Hellenie gave an informal dancing party in Fraternal Aid hall last Saturday evening. Seventy-five couples attended and enjoyed an eighteen dance program. The music was played by Haley's orchestra of Kansas City. Light refreshments consisting of frozen punch and cake were served throughout the evening.
This is the first dance to be given by the sophomore Pan-Hellenic but it will probably be made an annual affair.
RULES EXCLUDE FRESHMEN
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Varsity Tennis Now Closed to First Year Men.
Owing to the fact that tennis has been placed upon the same standing as the other athletic sports in the university, the Athletic board has ruled that no freshman shall represent Kansas this year in tennis. As three of the squad, which was to play a tournament for places on the team are freshmen, they will be barred from participation this year. The freshmen who made the squad are Wilson, Allen, and Uhrlaub. The squad which remains consists of Nees, Rohrer, Richardson, Hawes, and Motz.
Next week the Kansas tennis team will meet Baker at Baldwin. The men have been handicapped this year on account of the poor condition of the two tennis courts, which the University possesses. Almost all of the practicing this spring has been done in the gymnasium as the ground of the out-door courts is so rough that the balls can not be judged by the players.

LOST A CANOE
Wind Carried Craft Away From Pleasure Seekers.
Louis R. Wilhelm, a junior Law and Horace E. Steele, a special in the Engineering school suffered the loss of a canoe yesterday afternoon and as a result were forced to swim to the shore from the little island, on which they were maroooed.
They had braved the rolling waves of the turbulent Kaw, and had landed safely on the little island, about a mile up the river. After drawing the boat upon the bank, they left it, when without warning, a gust of wind picked up the frail barque, and carried it along as though it were paper. Having no other means of leaving the island, the two were forced to swim. The canoe was valued at about $60.
