Basket Ball Team Will Play Last Scheduled Games This Week.
PLAY AT MANHATTAN TONIGHT
Games at Lincoln Will Not Decide Championship Bat Will Point Out Probable Winner.
The Kansas basket ball five left this afternoon on the last tour of the 1912 season. Tonight they will meet the aggies at Manhattan. From there they march the course and finish the journey with two games in Lincoln with Stiehm Cornuskers.
The Aggie game will without doubt be a fast, hard battle. The Manhattan lads have improved since their Eastern Kansas invasion and are much stronger than when they played in the earlier part of the season. The Aggies played well against Manhattan recently and defeated the Blue Diamonds by a huge score.

The Corinhusker five, though their playing may be more finished than when they appeared here, will be weaker than when they defeated K. U., because of the absence of Jimmy Gibson, the star forward.
While the contests that will be staged in the Cornhusker town are not to count in the Missouri Valley championship contest they will furnish a good index for the championship struggle that is to follow later. Kansas has the leadership of the south safely in her grasp though the margin is small. Nebraska is far and above all the other teams in the northern section. If the pro team carries out as intended at the time of the contest, the schedule the two teams will meet in three post season games to decide the Valley Championship regardless of the outcome of the two battles at Lincoln Friday and Saturday nights.

Gibson is the man who really hung the crepe on the Kansas hopes in the two previous contests, and his retirement left the Nebraskans with a vacancy that they are having much difficulty in filling.

Winter Carnival at Dartmouth
Dartmouth College held its second annual winter carnival last week.
The program of events include the senior reception, a basket-ball championship game, the unique and characteristic features of ski-jumping, and ski and snowshoe races. One night a grand dance was given and another night the dramatic club presented the comedy, "The Importance of Being Earnest."
J. F. Resleure, captain of the swimming team of the University of California, broke the coasts' record for 44 yards in the dual meet, held last week between the San Francisco and Berkeley Y. M. C. A. teams. Resleure covered the distance in 5:49 1-5. The previous record was 5:55.

Hamilton Wants an Extra Game
Warden in Cornhusker
Contests
Before starting on their journey northward with his basketball ball Jayhawkers, Coach Hamilton wired Athletic Director Clapp of Nebraska asking that two officials be appointed to serve in the coming Jayhawk-Cornhusk contest. Hamilton even offered to pay the expenses of one of the men if the Nebraskans felt that the use of two officials be too great a drain on their Athletic treasury.
The reson for this generosity on the part of the Kansas Manager-Coach is not far away. Nebraska plays the eastern style of basket ball which is a sort of modified football. The southern division schools have not used this type of a game for some time and it was agreed at the meeting in Kansas City that it should be shandoned by the conference.
According to reports the men who has worked in the Nebraska contests in Lincoln has been inclined to overlook the decision of the conference and therefore Hampton thought it would be wise to add ment to furnish another official. Teuton of Kansas City Central High School has been suggested for second.

Hamilton Says Athletics Depend More on Work Than on Ability.
"The track athletes that have been the most successful in this University have been men that were worse than second class at the start," said Coach Hamilton this morning. "By perseverance those men developed themselves until they have a clear lead over more talented but less persevering athletes.
"The track men are made not born."
"The presence or the absence of perseverance and spirit makes a school's athletics," continued the coach. "The reason for one school's apparent superiority over another in one line of sport is not necessarily the difference in coaching or the difference of climatic conditions so much as the difference in the spirit and motivation of the students and the perseverance with which they confidently peg away expecting to beat the school just as they did last year and the year before that."
The coach believes that the proof of this statement is found in our athletic relations with Missouri. Year after year we always manage to beat them in basket-ball while they reciprocate by whipping us just as often in track.
This is not because we have a better squad of basket-ball players to pick from than Missouri or because of the fact that we have beaten Missouri so often in the past but for the reason that our players, year after year, go into the game with determination and spirit and are willing to spend time and use perseverance to accomplish this purpose.

"When Kansas beats Missouri in track it will be because we show the same spirit," said Hamilton, "in our track activities that we are now showing in basket-ball. At present a very small part of the available track material in Kansas University tryout and sticks with it."

ILLINOIS-MISSOURI MEET
Tigers Submit to Illinois Demands for Hammer Throw.
709 Mass. Street
Final arrangements for the dual track meet between Illinois and Missouri at Columbia this spring have been completed. Some difficulty arose in regard to the hammer-throw event. By the rules of the Missouri Valley Conference, this event has been eliminated from the list, and the Missouri men were desirous of applying that rule to the meet with Illinois. As this is a regular number of the Big Eight list of events the Illinois authorities objected to omitting it. Coach Brewer, of the Gold and Black team, has acquired, so the hammer throw will be on the schedule of events.
The Missouri team was the big surprise of last season's track events, coming in as a "dark horse" and carrying away first honors in the Western Intercollegiate Conference meet by a big margin. The men from the "Show-Me" state have a number of star men and will give Coach Gill's well balanced team a close run for honors.
Professor Hubach will meet his classes at the University on Monday.

LAWRENCE, KAN.
A Man Who Had Worked Hard
in Kansas for thirty years moved with his family to Lawrence the other day. Said he thought he had earned a rest and he proposed to enjoy it in the City of Homes. Said he intended to take it easy while his children finished going through school. All of which suggests that there are thousands of hard working, well-to-do citizens in Kansas who owe themselves a holiday. Lawrence proves attractive to such by reason of its unequalled advantages as a residence town—its schools and University, its beauty, and its up-to-dateness in every line of civic improvement.
