SYNOPSIS OF PLAY
Rehearsals for "Sister, You're Wrong," Now Completed.
The senior play, "Sister, You're Wrong," is ready for its presentation on Thursday and Friday evenings of this week. The rehearsals, which have been going on for some time, are now being devoted to the putting on the finishing touches to the play.
A synopsis of the play is: Clayton Sherwood and his sister Louise, are students at the University. Both room at the same house. One night Clayton in company with five other young men remains up the whole night and a greater part of the morning playing poker. While they are playing they are rudely interrupted by the disciplinary committed but this is not the greatest of Clayton's troubles. Upon his return home he is confronted by his sister who demands an explanation of his whereabouts. Clayton, fearing to tell the truth, says that he spent the night with an old friend. His sister does not believe him. "Sister, You're Wrong." She then attempts to disprove her brother's story. The result of her efforts are complications which are indulious, hilarious, and painful to the sister, besides involving an old friend, Clayton's sweetheart, a farmer and his wife and many male students and coeds. But the question is nevertheless left to the auditors as to whether Clayton was right when he said, "Sister, You're Wrong."
Seats go on sale tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock. The production is under the direction of Miss Gertrude Mossler. The dates are May 18 and 19. Passes given to juniors are not transferable or negotiable.

OUTLINES PLAN FOR TRAINING WINNING TEAM
SHERWIN'S LETTER ON FOOTBALL.
The Kicking Contest Has Been Abandoned—Spring Practice Drags.
The spring practice, that was organized some weeks ago, has become dilatory among the students who put on the mole skins and the kicking contest that was to have been held this spring during commencement week, has been abandoned on account of the lack of interest displayed by the men. However, a few of the men still put in their appearance in the afternoon to kick the pig-skin on the field south of McCook field and the life of the practice drags out to a weary end.
A review of the situation of the practice and the prospects of material was sent to Prof. Ralph W. Sherwin at Dartmouth College with a series of questions regarding the manner of practice which
PROF. RALPH W. SHERWIN
ne intended to pursue upon his arrival at the University next September. The Kansan is now in receipt of a letter from Coach Sherwin and the answers to some of the questions asked are in part as follows: "I can say from what I know of athletes at Kansas that I believe that the eastern style of football can be successfully introduced, and that with western spirit of consciencious work, there is no reason why the University should not have a team that would be a credit to any University.
"This is a difficult position in which to be placed, because I would rather wait till fall to do my talking, and I hope you appreciate the disadvantage of trying to discuss football through correspondence. I am willing, however, to do all in my power to bring about a successful team, and therefore I am going to state a few of the plans which I believe to be important, and which I intend to carry out in the fall.
"I was pleased to learn of the kicking contest that is to be held this spring, for I believe this is, under the new rules, the most important part of the game. The
onside kick should be developed if the ends are fast, and at the same time should be used frequently against a team with a strong line defense. Then again the offensive play should be developed early in order that the interference may become like that of one man in action. I have seen too many teams with a stronger developed defense than offense. A team to win must score, and for this reason I believe the offense should be considered seriously in coaching a team.
"I understand that the forward pass is used more frequently in the west than in the east. This is, I believe, due to the fact that the west play a more open game than the east, and is used accordingly." These departments of the game I consider the most important, and I am going to develop them to the best of my ability."
"Very truly,
"Ralph W. Sherwin."
S LDIERS TOO STRONG
University Team Defeated by Levenworth Officers.
Eleven members of the Oread golf club journeyed to Fort Leavenworth Saturday where they gambled on the green with the Fort officers team in eleven eighteen hole matches. The Kansans lost by a score of twenty three to seven. L. W. Kinnear of the Oread club made the round of the Fort course in forty-five strokes; the record for the course is forty-four and this has only been accomplished twice. The University team was somewhat handicapped in their play by the absence of Jones and Price two of their strongest players.
The men intended to return Saturday evening but owing to a break down of their train they were compelled to stay over at the Fort and return Sunday morning. They report excellent treatment at the hands of the officers, and were much impressed by the way army men entertain, The Fort Leavenworth men will play a return match here in Lawrence within the next two weeks.
The trip to the fort was made by the following men: M. W. Sterling, J. D. Newton, L. W. Kinnaird, W. S. Johnson, C. C. Crawford, Otto Barteldes, F. W. Raymond, C. H. Gray, D. L. Patterson, Allen Sterling, and E. M. Briggs.
Instructors to Topeka.
Professor Alberta Corbin, of the German department, Professor Eugene Galooof the French department, Dr. Ida H. Hyde of the School of Medicine, Miss Winston and Miss Margaret Lynn of the English department, all attended the Women's Equal Suffrage association meeting in Topeka today.
No Holiday Friday.
No regular holiday will be granted by the chancellor next Friday. It is probable that most of the time after chapel until noon will be consumed by the school speakers.
University Donates Chairs.
The University gave one thousand chairs to be used during the G. A. R. encampment. Some of the meetings are being held in the skating rink.
"JAYHAWKER" SALE STARTS THURSDAY
ANNUAL FOR 1911 IS EX-
TREMELY CLEVER.
Dedicated to Dean Blackmar—Contains 398 Pages—Pictures And Cartoons Are Features.
The "Jayhawker" for 1911 is off the press and will be ready for sale at the first performance of the Senior Play next Thursday evening. The entire edition of one thousand copies has been sent to Lawrence to the managers and after Thursday books may be bought almost anywhere.
The "Jayhacker" is a book of 398 pages bound in full Russian morocco leather and is said to be the most expensive of any annual book that has ever been published by a senior class. The book is dedicated to Dean F. W. Blackmar, "a man who as Dean of the Graduate school, author of text books and constructive laws, has placed the name of the University before the States and fostered its best interests."
This year the Annual has been divided into eight books with seventers in each book. Book I is devoted to the Regents and Faculty. An even 80 pages are given to the pictures and write-ups of the seniors. Book III is called College life and contains the pictures and announcements of the various activities such as Press, Drama, Music, Organizations, Debating, Societies and Clubs. Ther are 83 pages of this with extremely clever cartoons. Athletics, which make up Book IV is divided into varsity athletics and home athletics. Fraternities make up Book V. And then comes the book that makes every one read it with great care and caution. "In Lighter Vein" is Book VI and there are 80 pages of fun and jokes on the other fellow. A hasty survey of this section of the book leads one to believe that the editors did not fail to catch nearly all of the "seandal" that has been on the hill this year.
The one big feature of the Annual this year is the picture and cartoon work. A zine etching is at the top of every page and the entire book is interspersed with half tones. Each book is prefaced by a colored plate with a clever cartoon. Emil Grignard D. II Maloy Arthur Caylor, Orlin Weede, and Roy Work all have cartoons in the book.
The "Jayhawker" for 1911 is one of which the University may be proud and a splendid sale for the books is predicted. The editor is Elbert Overman. Homer Berger is assistant editor, and Helen Phillips associate editor. George Russell is business manager.
