Qn last Friday night tho Universi ties of Kansas and Nebraska met for the first time on tho floor of tho uni versity armory In a hard fought game of basket ball rosultlng In "tho decision Bcoro of 48 to 8 In favor of tho scarlet and cream. An audience as largo and as enthusiastic as ever assembled In tho university armory to witness an athletic event was present. It came early, gaily decked with the university colors, bringing their yells and horns, with which they unpartlally greeted tho good play3 of either team. The three literary societies were well rep resented, each attending in a body and occupying prominent places in balcony or main floor. Immediately preceding the game and between the halves a game of hoop ball was played between the Lincoln Y. M. 0. A. and the university team; tho game was fast and hotly contested, resulting In a score of 41 to 37 In favor of tho Lincoln Y. M. C. A. The teams appeared upon the floor at" 8:30 o'clock and were greeted with terrific blowing of horns and yells, mingling the long-drawn yell of the Jay Hawker's with tho snappier one of tho university. The game was clean, and fast from the beginning and devoid of all roughness on either side; both teams came upon the floor determined to win, but the work of the 'varsity' team proved too much for the Kansans. Their play was far minerior utlllzine their system of passes to a much better advantage and playing much snappier and faster game than their opponents. The Kansans were handicapped somewhat by the smooth floor of the armory. All their practice has been carried on a common rough floor, making It very difflcult for them to play their usual game. The memoers of the varsity team played their customary steady game; Captain Andreson and Cortel you especially distinguishing them Belvcs In their, quick energetic work and their throwing of goals. Tho throwing of free goalB was good on both sides; Vandruff throwing eight out of ten goals for Kansas and Cap tain Andreson ten out of fourteen goals for Nebraska. The playing of the Kansans lacked team work and speed but their individual work was good, each man covering his opponent wll. Dr. Nalsmlth who accompanied the team, Ib coach of the Kansas team and originator of the game. In conBe quence of this fact the university team has been practicing hard for the last few weeks anticipating a hard game, and their steady training told most effectively In tho game. In the first half the play was fast the university scoring two goals be fore tho Kansans had touched the ball. At this point Nebraska fouled and througa the whole game fouling bo came a distinguished feature, six be ing Scored against Kansas and four against Nebraska In tho first half. The playing was carried on for tho most part near Kansas' goal, tne Ne braska goal very seldom being in dan ger; not during the entire game did Kansas throw q,gonl from field, owing to""thB fine work -of "Andreson at Wat erman. Btebblns, although somewhat wild at times In throwing goal, played his usual steady game and covered his man well. Tho second half, If any thing, began faster and harder than tho first, but tho Kansans, disheart ened somowhat by tho appcaranco the score, relaxed and the latter part was less spirited, .e fouling on both Bides was as apparent as in this half as In the first, eight being scored against Kansas and six against Ne braska. Tho teams lined up as follows: Kansas. Nebraska. Owens (Capt) c W. Andreson (Capt) r. f. Stebblns 1. f. Cortolyou r. g. R. Andreson 1. g.

CassiUB Asa Fishor has submitted to Prof. Barbour, director of tho state geological survey his thesis, entitled "Report and Photographs of Stone Quarries, Clay Banks and Sand Pits, of South East Nebraska." This roporL contains 25,000 words and fifty photo graphic Illustrations, all tho work ot Mr. Fisher. First there 1b a tabulated account of about one hundred and twenty quarries, thirty clay banks and sand pits, giving the name, where lo cated, dimensions, when opened,, whether operated at present, and dis tance from railroad. This Is followed by a detailed description, a plat giv ing its location in the section of land,, and also a section of tho different layers of the quarry with correspond ing samples in the museum. Tho pho tographs are of quarries, and clay banks and also of houses and bridges; made of stone from theso quarries The spcclments numbor GOO and oc cupy five largo glass cases In tho mu seum and are estimated to bo worth $500 to the department. The samples are placed in cases in their natural order, the lowest strata being first and the highest last in order. The number of strata range from five to twenty two. Each rock has been chipped to a cabinet size, mounted on a neat, block and numbered to correspond with the number in tho report. The soils and clays are contained in glass Jars. This report is to be bound and kept in the department library. Mr. Fisher began field work for this report last June and travelled over a good portion of southeast Nebraska investi gating quarries, and collecting speci mens. He has worked on his report this school year. The stone quarry Interest of Ne braska is larger than most people im agine. One quarry alone, located at Johnston, Neb., has an annual output of 30,000 puch, worth ninety cents n. puch. Another large quarry is located at Blue Springs, Neb. of fitting one for government posi tions, and training one in scientific thought for the scientiflo departments of the government.

Dryden, of Kearney, Nebr., speaking of the spiritual side of br. Warner's life, said: "The profoundest depths of his char acter were reached only In his spirit ual life.

President Eliot, of Harvard, on re quest of tho superintendent of schools In Cuba, has consented to furnish tree tuition In the summer school, for a large number of native Cuban school teachers. According to reports from Havana, If adequate arrangements can. bo mado, about 1,000 vsachers will take advantage of this offer. The govern ment will probably furnish army transports for bringing them here, and It will probably be pos3lblo for them to visit many different cities, through the generosity of the rail roads and the municipalities themselves.
