 Tennis Surprise.
 A surprise which was not part of the official reception was sprung on the California tennis players who toured the east this summer when they returned to their native state recently Evidently several ambi- tious youngsters had been practicing with the racquet all summer and the home-comers received distant shock in the California state cham pionship tournament. In the doubles Nauric F. Mclaughlin, paired with Wfckham HaVens, was defeated in three straight sets by B. H. Botllin and C. F.. Foley. Clarence c. Grif- fin. winner of the western singles championship. was eliminated by Norman Ambrose, an unranked play CT. in two sets. Another upset came when Griffin and John R. Strachan who played Mclaughlin and Bundy at Newport for the United States doubles title. were defeated by W. F. Johnston and E. Fottreu in three straight sets.

 The impression is growing in na- tional polo circles that q challenge for the polo cup will be received from the Birmingham club of Eng land before the time limit expires on January L Lord Ashby St. Ledgers is back of the latest project to re cover the trophy and has tentatively selected six players and string of ponies If the challenge conforms to the cup playing rules it will be ac- cepted. according to a prominent of i ficial of the American Polo associa- tion. With competitions scheduled for the America's Davis and Polo cups 1914 would appear to be secur- ing flying start in international sport fixtures.

PUTS LID ON DANCING
University Students Can't Go Unless
Sanctioned by University.

Lawrence, Oct. 6.-Apparently the lid
has been put on dances at the Univer-
sity of Kansas to an extent that public
subscription dances are no longer
proper. At one of the local halls j.
I. Newhouse gave what was termed
varsity dance and, according to re
ports only three couples attended. IL
is NOT known certainly that the dancers
were university students, but from the
statement made by Mr.. Newhouse 1t
would seem that they We're.
mo, I don't think there VIII ne any
more varsity parties said Mr.. New
house. AT least I shall not finance
any more of them. The tree couples
that were there were so scared that
don't believe they will ever come back
to another one
Friday afternoon professor OF the
university called up at least one soror-
itv house and the report has it that he
called all of them by telephone, to tell
the girls that it would be best for them
not to attend the dance. 1t is reported
that he told the girls he was not threat
ening, but just giving them warning
There is considerable agitation
among the students here against the
faculty ruling. A majority of the stu
dents do not belong to clubs or organ
ization and therefore depend Tor their
recreation on the weekly subscription
canoes that used TO De nelu mere. Inc
university ruling makes it impossible
for any one to attend a dance unless 1t
is given by an organization and sane
toned by the faculty There seems TO
be no recourse from this ruling
Hereafter it is said, written permits
sion will have to be obtained before
dance can be staged.
What the cause for all this change is,
few persons know positively, but many
say that the publication of stories
about the conditions here have caused
some of the rigid actions

Lincoln, Oct 6.-Among the several
public improvements now building in
Lincoln is the Presbyterian church.
The old church, which was built about

Sunday school purposes. There will be
a kitchen, dining room, auditorium and
other modern cOnveniences. The first
floor will have a number of rooms for

churches in several other towns, in
Guiding Minneapolis, Wilson, Ellsworth
Beloit, Sylvan Grove and Shady Bend
The money for this token of honor to
his memory is being raised by popular
subscription and more than 800 was
subscribed the day of the barbecue
No weather is too stormy nor road too
rough or long that he will not go on a
mission of mercy, sympathy or on the
piOus occasion of a wedding. Elder
Bradbury has established not less than
20 churches and Sunday schools since
his residence here. The new church
will cost from 1000 to $4,000 1t is
