The University of Kansas, Law- rence, formerly belonged to the state association, and the state university delegation was always large and ready for a fight. Year after year Baker University and Ottawa Univer- sity would band together to fight K. U. In 1903 the state contest was held in Atchison, and Kansas University was especially troublesome at that time. Baker and Ottawa had a spec- ial train, but the K. U. men attacked it at Lawrence, breaking many of the windows and doing other damage. Be- fore the contest, the state officials de- cided that the K. U. orator was not eligible to enter, since he was a grad- uate student. His supporters insisted that he should enter; consequently two orators went on the platform at the same time. A scrimmage was pre- cipitated among the delegations in the auditorium. Finally the K. U. speaker was ejected by the police. Kansas University was then expelled from the association.


Some excitement was caused in 1899 when William Allen White, who was one of the judges, graded the or- ator from Wesleyan 100. White said in the Emporia Gazette, "He gave William McKinley a good reading no- tice and gave the republican party creditable mention for its Philippine policy." White graded the other ora- tors in the 60's and 70's, in order that his choice might win (finals were then made up by summing up the grades).


In 1901 John Quin was beaten by Loofburrow, of Baker, by one point.


Loofburrow subsequently won the


inter-state contest. Quin's sum total was higher than his competitor's, but the Baker man beat him by one point on rankings. He also won second place in the contest of 1902. It is said that John Quin has done more to make Ottawa a place in oratory among the Kansas colleges than has any other man.


Following the expulsion of Kansas University from the association, Ba- ker and Ottawa continued to work to- gether, against Washburn. In 1904 was held the greatest "scrap" in the history of the association, when some three hundred Ottawa-Baker dele- gates engaged in a pitched battle with Washburn, in front of the audi- torium in Topeka. For over an hour the fight raged in the street, and it was carried even into the auditorium.


W. D. Goble, of Ottawa, won the contest, and the fight was resumed on the platform after the contest. The city police attempted to stop it, and as a result several Ottawa boys brought home policemen's clubs, hel- mets and stars, as souvenirs. Wash- burn broke into Ottawa's car at the Santa Fe station and drenched the delegates with city water from a fire hose which had been taken from the police.


In 1905, at Wichita, there was some disturbance, but since that time the contests have been comparatively quiet affairs. Large delegations from distant schools have been fewer than in former years, and the rivalry is not so bitter as it was.


The following tabulations show Ot- tawa's place in oratory, and the rank of Kansas in the inter-state contests. The name of the Ottawa orator in the state contest is given, with his rank, while the name of the Kansas school, with the place awarded, is given in the inter-state list. It has been found impossible to secure a complete data.

BASEBALL SCHEDULE; PRACTICE BEGINS SOON


NTEST FOR POSITIONS THE '10 TEAM WILL BE SPIRITED.


ON


In to Have Eight Games at Home and Sell a $2.00 Ticket Down Town.


i temporary baseball schedule has n announced by Manager Frank ice. Some of the dates may" be anged before the season starts. seball practice probably will be- week after next.


The schedule includes one trip ong the Kansas colleges.


As yet only five games are assured home but Manager Price hopes to eight. If this is possible a season ket will be offered for two dollars. enough of these tickets are sold Ivn town the games will probably played at Forest Park. This was Icussed at length in the Student Cincil Wednesday.


The games at home will be Salina sleyan, April 20; Haskell Institute, y 2; Bethany, May 14; William Tvell, May 17; Baker University, y 23.


Che tentative schedule for out of wn games is: Washburn, April 25; Mary's, April 26; K. S. A. C., ril 27; Kansas Wesleyan, April 28; chany, April 29; McPherson, April Haskell Institute, May 9; Baker Diversity, May 16.


The prospect for baseball material s spring is fine.


Capt. George, F. Price, O. Coe, E. innon, Rice, Martin and Rouse, wo played on last year's team will out again this year. Some se men will probably not make s year's team, for there is a lot of mising new men coming out. Chas. rtin, Elmer Graper, Ross Bower, Ebert Brannon and Archie McCand- (s will likely compete for a place on team as catcher, Oscar Coe and Forth Alderman will try out for sec- ol base. Fred Martin and Frank Ece will probably be found at their positions, first and third bases re- ctively. Short stop is a disputed glition, Roderick Rice, Frank How- and Harry George being men- thed as likely candidates.


'apt. George, however, may join


Blair, Crosby, Erwin, Lundy and Nichols in a contest for the outfield positions.


There will be a good supply of ma- terial for pitching. E. Brannon, O. Coe, W. Alderman, Erwin and Lundy are among the promising candidates.


There are other men in the col- lege who have had some experience on high school teams, and all these will be urged to come out and prac- tice. .


QUARTET AT WELLSVILLE.


The Bachman-Martin-Barrett-Jennings Organization Scored a Hit.


Last Friday evening the University Campus quartet gave a concert at Wellsville. They were accompanied by Miss Ruth Simpson, pianist and Miss Anna Wallace, reader. The concert was well attended and the quartet made such a hit that it will probably fill a return engagement at Wellsville next Tuesday night. It is composed of Charles. Bachman and Elmer Martin, tenors; Roe Barrett and Frank Jennings, bassos.


It is announced that the quartet may be engaged by the University management to travel for the school a couple of months this summer. Sev- eral other trips have been planned for this spring.


The quartet sings at Waverly on March 18.


DAY OF PRAYER.


The College Classes Observed the An- nual Day Last Sunday.


The day of prayer for colleges was observed by Ottawa University last Sunday. As has been the custom here for some time separate class prayer meetings were held. The meetings this year were held in the First Baptist church, the classes as- sembling at 9:30 in the morning. The seniors and juniors met in the pas- tor's study, and were led by Marion Hume; the sophomores met in Prof. Groner's Sunday school room, and were led by Chester Roberts; the Freshmen met in Prof. Gordis's Sun- day school room, and were led by G. W. Rudd; the' senior academics and the junior academics met in the main church parlor, and were led by Carl Welsh; the middle academics met in the south parlor, and were led by Arthur Erwin, and the business department met in the Baraca class room. and were led by Dr. E. K. "handler.


SPRING FOOTBALL PRACTICE.


Work for Next Fall's Gridiron Eleven Begins Next Week.


Captain Alderman expects to begin football practice next Monday after- noon at 2 o'clock. The football men will report.


All of last year's men have promis- ed to be out.


The prospects for a strong team next year are now certainly good. All of last year's men will be back ex- O. Coe and F. Price and with subs like Peterson, Graper, Max Alderman, Anderson, Schupbach, Berkey, Gates, Ward and some others who showed up well last year, the positions can be filled. These men may come out, practice with the team and fight for a position on the team the same as they did for their class teams this fall. Other good men are Heiken, Blair, Battin, "Billy" Lusk, George Hutchins, "Heine" Haynes, Brannon brothers, Christenson, Marsh, in the college and academy. In the business college is some promising material. Evans, Wright and Wasser are con- sidered valuable men.


Ex-Captain Coe, Frank Price and Capt. Alderman will have charge of the practice. The work will be the tackling dummy,' punting, catching of punts, forward passes, falling on the ball, cross country running and tackling.

WHAT SPRING FOOTBALL MEANS.


The announcement that spring foot- ball practice will be carried on here has more significance than might seem. Back of the aim to make a winņing team, an "ever-victorious" eleven for 1911, is the fact that there will be something doing in the ath- letic line in spite of the fact that there is no athletic director here.


With spring football, and the other forms of athletics which will soon be in full swing, there will be no good reason why every fellow in the col- lege can not have enough physical exercise along with his mental train- ing.


A winning baseball team is the hope of the college, and there is no apparent reason why there cannot be a team that will win a list of games this spring, unless it is the fact which is of course to be lamented, that there is no regular coach. If "Rube" Ellis is able to get away, he wil probably come for two weeks. If Mr. Ellis does not come, there is still the opportunity to secure a good team.


Spring football means more than


merely football. It means that much in addition to baseball, inter-class basketball, inter-class track work, tennis, and the whole means that there will be a lot of enthusiasm in athletics this spring, not to say the valuable physical training.


WILL YOU BE AT WICHITA?


Only six more days until March 11th. Less than a week, and the time wil come for Ottawa to be weighed in the balances, in 'oratory. That Ot- tawa will not be found wanting, Is the confident hope of every loyal O. U. student. If those who know what they are talking about, guess right, Ottawa's man has some little chance of landing high.


It has been said before, and may be repeated again, that it takes more than the effort of the orator to win. It takes the support of the students. He has the solid moral support. Is it not possible for him to be backed up by an enthusiastic delegation of "rooters ?"


There is time enough yet to plan to go to Wichita. Decide to see Ot- tawa push and go-represented in basketball and oratory- take some- thing at Wichita. Take a little time off and go to Wicbita next Friday.


HOW ABOUT THE NEW GYM?


The student Gymnasium committee hasn't been heard fro mlately. Pos- sibly it is only enjoying a breathing spell. It is hoped and expected that the committee is planning something. Now that the Gymnasium proposition has been started with a substantial sum of money pledged, it needs to be pushed hard towards completion.


One way is to go after subscrip- tions from the intimate friends of the University. Many of them, it is believed, will be glad to get in on this new and mucd needed building. A way that has been suggested is to write to some of the leading bene- factors of colleges over the country. Ottawa's proposition may seem good to some of them. Ottawa's boom for a new Gymnasium has something substantial behind it-nearly $5,000 already pledged-and a committee of hustlers and pushers to look after getting the other $20,000.

Several games carrying out the spring idea were enjoyed, among them a violet hunt. Each young lady was given the name of a flower, and by the young men naming their fav- orite flower, partners were found for a two-course lunch which was served in the dining room which was at- tractively decorated. A low mound of tulips encircled in smilax occupier the center of the table.


At the close of the lunch Miss Bal- yeat's engagement was announced in a very pretty manner. Mendelssohn's wedding march was played by Miss Mollie Filson and little Ione Balyeat in a dainty white frock covered with a shower of small red hearts descend- ed the stairs accompanied by Ade- laide Kerr and Helen Jenks. A silver basket filled with hand decorated hearts with Miss May Balyeat's and Dr. Charles F. Milligan's names were distributed to the guests by the little girls.
