WISCONSIN SYSTEM IN K. U. ATHLETICS
Compulsory Outdoor Sports Were Instituted Here in 1898
LONG PERIOD OF EXPERIMENT
Discovery That Indoor Sports Only Partly Develop led to Adoption of Apparatus Work.
The Wisconsin method of compulsory athletics which has created such a stir in athletic circles is no new thing here according to Dr. James Naismith, head of the Physical Training Department of the University of Kansas.
"Our present system of compulsory exercise for College freshmen and sophomores," said Dr. Nalsimshi, "is merely an outgrowth of a series of experiments with a system similar to the one now in use at Wisconsin. These experiments had their beginning in 1888 when athletics were made a part of the required work for College freshmen and sophomores.
"In the first half term, the freshmen are allowed to select football, track, or soccer and do the work under regular coaches. In the second half, the men are organized into teams and play basketball. For the first term our work is similar to that which is outlined in the course employed at Wisconsin."

"In 1909, an examination was made of the class at the completion of the first term in order to find the effect of these games on the physique of the men engaged in them. With but few exceptions the astonishing fact was found that while the lower part of the body had gained, there had not been a corresponding increase in the upper part of the body. For this reason it was decided to have the classes take up apparatus work in the third term, which is a developer of the shoulders and chest and arms. In other words, this work takes the place of the exercise our ancestors secured by chopping down trees and sawing wood. It has been found that the men fresh from the athletic field go at their indoor work with the same spirit as that they used in the contests. By this method of combining our gymnasium work with athletes we secure more symmetrical development that could not be attained otherwise, and in one month are able to secure a greater development than could be secured in the ordinary year's gymnasium work."

Circus
Gymnasts Will be Kept Busy Preparing for the Circus
NOTRIP FOR TUMBLERS
The tumbling team will take no trip this year as Director Root who manages this part of the work as a private undertaking did not wish the responsibility this year.
Students of the University however, will see the team in action when they appear in the mid-winter circus which is to be staged in the gymnasium in March.
The following men will probably compose the team: Brownlee, Joseph Elliott, Zurcher, Martin, Tudor, C. Clasen, J. Greenlees, and Lewallen,
The stunts will consist mainly of tumbling, apparatus work, special stunts by the individual members of the team and acrobatic dancing, if any of the team show any talent in this line.

AGGIE FRESHMEN CAN YOU PASS A DEFEATED COLLEGE SWIMMING QUIZ?
Farmer Lads Ran Away From K. U. Visitors in Last

Wisconsin will meet the University of Arkansas in football on Wisconsin's field, October 12 of this year, unless unforeseen developments arise during the next few weeks. Negotiations are now being carried on with the Razorbacks by the Wisconsin authorities.

BADGER-RAZORBACK GAME
Manhattan, Feb. 20.—The Agricultural College freshman team defeated the College basket-ball five of the University of Kansas here this afternoon by a score of 34 to 25.
The game was slow on both sides, in the first half the whistle showing the Aggies in the lead with a score of 19 to 6.
Wisconsin refused to play at Arkansas in the preliminary negotiations, as the comparatively warm weather prevailing in the South in October would have been disastrous to the Badger eleven.
The Aggies opened the second half with a rush and a series of fast plays soon gave them a safe lead which they maintained through out the rest of the contest. The College five appeared to be bewildered by the strange court and showed a remarkable lack of team work. In the second half the fast play of the Aggies completely disorganized the visitors for a time but they were doing their best work of the game when the battle ended.
The Badger-Razorback game will be the first contest between a northern and southern university since 1904, when the University of Texas played Chicago at Chicago resulting in an overwhelming victory over the Longhorns.
Fine Arts' Recital Postponed.
The recital which the students of the School of Fine Arts were to give at the University studio this afternoon was postponed till Wednesday of next week February 28, owing to the absence of a number of the students who have gone home over Thursday.

Do you know that there is a University rule requiring that you pass an examination in swimming before you get your A. B.?
This is no idle jest. That is to say, there really is such a rule. The authorities admit that it not strictly enforced however. In 1901, before the idea that the Athlete was some kind of an inhuman brute had struck the K. U., the University Council, or some other august director of student life passed a rule and placed the same among the requirements for an A. B.
The rule was to this effect: "It shall be necessary for every student of the college to pass a swimming test which determines if you feel feet before he is granted a degree."
The records of the University now show that every man graduating since 1901 has been able to go the required 50 and who shall deny the record?
It is expected that since the organization of the Womens Athletic association the rule will be as strictly followed by women as it has in the past as to men.
It was later decided that the rule should not be rigidly enforced as to women but the poor man who could have no sleeps. The 50 feet should have no sleepskin.

PNEUMONIA GERMS ON THE JOB THIS MONTH
Dr. Crumbine Submits Directions for Slipping Them Their Quietus
"Pneumonia is most prevalent in the month of February, and more deaths result from it in this month than any other," said Dean Sudler of the School of Medicine this morning. "The mortality from pneumonia in Kansas is 25 per cent of the total; in other words one out of every four deaths is from pneumonia. In the last few years it has out-distanced tuberculosis as a menace to public health."
Dean Crumbine, as secretary of the state board of health, has published a bulletin setting forth the danger from pneumonia, its causes and the simple precautions that may be taken for its prevention.
Among the causes are: 1. Unusual exposure in extreme weather 2. Exposure of old persons, or of persons suffering from other diseases. 3. Living or sleeping in badly ventilated rooms.
Dr. Crumbine sets forth the following common sense precautions:
1. Dress warmly but not too thicky.
2. Do not needlessly expose yourself.
3. Have abundant fresh air in your living and sleeping rooms.
4. Do not have your rooms too hot and then go into the open air unprotected by wraps.
Dr. Chambers, University physician, adds that now is the time to guard against colds, and especially should students having colds be careful about flipping their hand-kerchiefs from their pockets as this is an excellent way to spread the pneumonia germs.

Course in Chemistry Attracts Attention of Engineering Students.
The course in water analysis under the direction of C. C. Young of the Chemistry department, has increased its enrollment. At the beginning of the fall term only three students enrolled while there are now fifteen enlisted. These include sanitary engineers, college and unclassified students.
The course has been divided into
two divisions. One requires a knowledge
edge of quantitative analysis, the other has no pre-requisite. The latter has been arranged so that persons interested in water analysis and desiring no other branch in the University, may take up the work.
Systematic study of the analysis of drinking waters and of waters for industrial purposes is given in both classes. A laboratory equipped for the students in this department has been established on the fourth floor of the Chemistry building.
