Decision Against Phi Delta Phis 12-11 This Morning.
Deming opened the case in the first for the Phi Delta Phi team. Columbia the gem of the Law school lasted a few minutes. MacAdams then took charge of the case in the fourth stage of the proceededs but his offerings were fairly crooked. Power and Thompson were on the receiving line for the same team. The assault and battery for the Phi Alpha Delts was composed of Cayot and Lindsay. Many errors were recorded on both sides but it is not supposed that they are serious enough to require a new trial.
The essays must be borne in by May 20, and are limited to three thousand words, exclusive of citations of authorities. The subject for the assays is: May the state under its police power require an employer conducting a hazardous occupation to compensate, according to a prescribed sale, his employees injured through the employee's ow mneglence.

HUGE CROWDS SEE YESTERDAY'S FETE
EVERYBODY APPARENTLY HAD A GOOD TIME
May Pole Dancers, Queen's Att tendants, Shepherdes, and Gypsies Popular Performers
The vari-colored costumes in the pageant presented a brilliant appearance as the parade over two hundred yards in length, wound in and out between the buildings. The dance of the May Pole dancers, the winding of the May Pole the dance of the May Queen's attendants, and the crowning of the May Queen took place on the campus in front of Fraser hall and from the standpoint of all the spectators was perhaps the most striking of all the afternoon performances.
An ideal day, consistent training, and careful planning combined to make the May Fete, held yesterday on the campus, one of the notable events of University life. From the start of the pageant from the gymnasium at 2:30 o'clock, until the last dance at nearly six, everything was good and pleased the immense crowd which had gathered tosee the spectacle.
Immediately after the winding of the May Pole the May Queen, Miss Agnes Husband went to the platform which had been prepared for the dancers west of Green hall where dances were given by the May Queen's attendants the shepherdesses, and the gypsies. All these dances showed the results of many rehearsals and never failed to draw applause from the crowds.
The three plays, "St George and the Dragon," "Pyramus and Thisbe" and "Robin Hood," were given four times at the same hours, on different parts of the campus. After the last performance in the regular place they gave the plays a fifth time so that the characters in each play might see the others perform.
The refreshment booths which were kept by the four sororites were besieged with hungry and thirsty individuals all the afternoon and all of them had to replenish different parts of their stock several times.
The Kappas took in $34 the Thetas $51; the Chi Omegas, $55.75; and the Pi Phis $56. The sale from the tags amounted to about $478.35 a smear as can be determined from what has already been handed into Miss Nadia Thomas. Some of the girls who were selling the tags howevr have not yet reported to the managers. Last night Miss Thomas deposited $660 in the bank which represented part of the proceeds from the sale of tags and part of the money taken in at the booths. The money will be used to meet the budged of the Y. W. C. A. for the present year.
Phi Psi Mother's Day.
The Phi Kappa Psi fraternity gave its annual Mother's day today. The following mothers of the members of the fraternity were present: Mrs. Pettit, Mrs. Spotts, Mrs. Park, Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Spalding, Mrs. Dolde, Mrs. Tholen, Mrs. Wheelock, Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Cannon, Mrs. Nigh and Mrs. Musselman.
A REGATTA THIS YEAR?
No One Has Taken The Initiative Yet.
Owing to the fact that a*chairman for the annual spring regatta has not been appointed by the student council, the arrangements that have been made for the frolic upon the waters of the Kaw are nil at present. The athletic management has expressed their willingness to expend ten dollars for the regatta this year, but no one has taken the initiative in starting the arrangement of the plans.
Arch MacKinnon said this morning, "There will be a meeting of the old and new members of the student council in which the situation will be discussed by all the men and I think that this subject will be considered."
During the past two years the regatta has been held by the students of the University unsupported by the athletic management and it has always proved to be a drawing card.
K. U. BEATS THE JAPS.
Orientals Dropped Game Thursday 10-8.
The Kansas ball team defeated the Keio University team on McCook field Thursday afternoon by the score of 10 to 8. The attendance at the game between Kansas and Japan was the largest this season. It is estimated that 800 witnessed the game.
Sugase, the Japs' star pitcher, left the rubber in the fourth inning on account of his ankle, which was sprained in the game with St. Marys. Sugo replaced him. The Japs' play was at first fistless, but improved toward the latter part of the game and the students were treated to some up-to-date Oriental rooting. Although the Keio men were all small, they showed wonderful speed on the bases.
The Kansas battery was Locke and Smith.
