"SISTER YOU'RE WRONG,
PRESENTED MAY 18-19.
Two Musical Numbers by Mat Graham—Juniors Get Passes Next Monday
"Sister You're Wrong," the dramatic production of the senior class, will be given in Fraternal Aid hall on the evenings of May 18 and 19. It is said to be a rolllicking, laughable comedy with a laugh a minute and deals with a young college student who has spent the entire night, and incidentally his money, in a poker game. His sister exercises guardianship over him and when he returns at 7 o'clock in the morning in order to spare her feelings and save himself he tells a white lie. The complications that result from this lie form the theme of the play. There will be two musical numbers given which were written by Mat Graham.
The management states that there will be many novel stunts and features introduced, and he also hints that a real, bona fide harem skirt will be worn by a member of the cast. Special scenic effects and costumes will be brought here from Kansas City. Seats will be placed on sale at Woodwards Drug Store at 7 a.m. The seats for the Thursday, May 18, performance will be put on sale Wednesday morning, May 17. Those for Friday evening will be placed on sale Thursday morning, May 18.
Professor Harger Will Speak.
Juniors who have paid their Prom dues will receive a pass for the second performance. Moe Friedman, chairman of the Play committee, will be at the check stand next Monday, May 15, from 9 a.m., to 10:15 a.m., to give out these passes.
Prof. C. M. Harger, director of the department of journalism will deliver the high school commencement addresses at Junction City, Russell, and Waterville. He also will give the Decoration day address at Wakeeney.

MANY NEW IMPROVEMENTS
Campus Will Receive $2,500 Worth of Improvements.
The campus will soon present a very busy scene as the Regents at their recent meeting authorized many needed improvements. They will cost about $2, 500 and are expected to be finished by June 30. Following is a list:
New sheet metal roofs to be put on the power plant and the mechanical laboratories.
Double acting doors and a vestibule to be built at the main entrance at the Chemistry building.
The outside woodwork of Fowler shops to receive two coats of paint.
The roofs of Green hall and Spooner library are to be painted.
Special electric lighting will be put over the microscopes in the basement of Snow hall to give better light. Additional wiring and lighting will also be put in at both the Library and Robinson gymnasium.
A line of cement walks will be laid from the main walk running west around the east and south of Marvin hall to the power plant and the main walk may be extended to the west limits of the campus. Moreover a flight of reinforced concrete steps will be built across the road opposite Marvin hall to join the cinder path which leads to the lake. The reinforced concrete construction is necessary to prevent the steps cracking as the road fill is too recent to furnish a solid foundation.
SIGS DEFEAT BETAS.
Before a Large Crowd Sigma Chis Win----18-6.
The Sigma Chi infield took ev anything that came their way "Dick" Ward at short accepted a number of difficult chances without an error. Coolidge held down the third station in varsity style.
The Sigma Chi fraternity defeated the Betas yesterday afternoon on McCook field by the score of 18 to 6. The Sigs jumped into the lead at the start and were never headed. "Bunny" Wilson pitched a strong game for the Sigma Chis and his work was in no small measure responsible for the great victory. Uhrlau went to the mound for the Betas and was batted out of the box in the third inning. Palmer lasted until the seventh when Smith went in.
The game had the largest attendance of any of the Pan-Hellenic games yet played. The next game will be between the Betas and the Phi Psis Wednesday.

KELTZ CLUB FOUNDED
Eighteen Men Form a New Society.
No, it is not a rejuvenation but a reorganization of the German club. For some time there has been considerable speculation as to the form of organization that would come as a result of the demise of the Allenania club. Today it was announced that eighteen men of the club had perfected a society and that henceforth we are to have The Keltz in our midst. The Keltz is purely elective and the usual features of a closed society are observed. Scholarship is especially emphasized. This society is not associated with any organization in any other school and their only aim in starting at this school is to make a society for men that is not a fraternity.
Those who are in the organization are : Herbert Cowan, Spencer Baird, Curtis Patterson, Roscoe Redmond, Leonard Hamner, Chris Curray, Roger Conant, Tom Hennessy, Ansel Crawford, Will Price , Dean Schnacke, Lester English, Don Rankin, Chester Badger, Robert Dinsmoor, Charles Edwards, John Butler, George Zabel.

KEIO BALL PLAYERS TO MEET KANSAS.
In 1000 Keio Defeated Wisconsin
2-1 in a 19 Inning Game—
Used But One Pitcher.
The contract for the base ball game with the Keio University nine has been signed and the men of Nippon will arrive in Lawrence on May 11 and will tangle with the varsity players of Manager Lansdow and Captain Haller. The trip of the Keio University team to this country is a source of great joy to the general public in Japan where they are favorites on account of their indomitable spirit. The longest game ever played in Japan was in 1909 when Keio defeated the University of Wisconsin 2 to 1 in 19 innings. In this game Sugase, Japan's best pitcher, pitched the entire 19 innings striking out 18 men and letting Wisconsin down with 8 hits; he is still a member of the Keio team.
Keio's trip to this country has been earned by perseverance, study, much hard work, and practice on the field. Whenever opportunity afforded they have had teams from the United States visit them, that they might study and learn our great national game. The University teams that have been to Japan are: The Universities of Washington, Wisconsin, and Chicago. The Reach All Americans were there in 1908. Keio has also played the crack teams of our navy upon their visit to Japan.
Their team work on account of their great throwing is of the best. This may be hindered somewhat in their first few games in the United States by the "rooting and noise" of an American ball game. In Japan in a crowd of 10,000 people scarcely a word will be heard throughout the entire game. All the applauding is done with the hands.
Their schedule includes many games with some of the best University and College teams of the country.
The line-up for their team is: Sasaki, ss.; Takahama, f.; Kanki, 3b.; Fukuda, c.; Abe, 2b.; Kameyama, ef.; Murakami, 1b.; Narasaki, rf.; Sugase, p.; Koyama, p; and Fukuda, p.
