UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
HIGH SCHOOL BASKET TOSSERS COME IN
Entries for Interscholastic Tournament Increase over Former Years.
ENTERTAINMENT A QUESTION
Coach Hamilton Suggests That Former Students Look After Visitors From Their Home Towns.
Entries are coming in daily for the Fifth Annual Inter-scholastic Basket Ball tournament which will be held in the gymnastium March 15 and 16. Already about twenty-five high schools have manifested their desire to participate in the tournament and about a dozen more are expected to come in before the entries are closed.
This year will see a larger number of high school students gathered at the University than for any other one event throughout the year. The question now confronting the athletic authorities is that of accommodations, Coach Hamilton, manager of the meet said this morning, "We wish to entertain as many of the visiting students as is possible and we can do this if the students give us their co-operation. If the University people would take care of those students who come from their home towns it would relieve us of a great part of this difficulty. Last year this was done and the visitors ate lunch with the students. All that is desired is to give them a place to eat and sleep for the two days and one night they will be here. If any of the students would like to take some of their old high school's present members in with them and will let us know I will see that all necessary arrangements are made."
The gate receipts of the tournament will go towards helping defray the expenses of the teams during their stay in Lawrence. Last year $320 was given to the tournament. This was an increase of 50 per cent over the preceding year.
The schools which have thus far entered boys' teams are: Senece, Garden City, Halstead, Atchinson, Eudora, Burlington, Lawrence, Reno County, Salina, Baldwin, Winfield, Bonner Springs,ola, Newton, Edwardsville, Waukee, Mankato, will come from the following schools: Burlington, Chanute, Wamego, Sabitha, Reno County, Bonner Springs Hutchinson, Olathe, and Florence.
APPRECIATE READING OF COWBOY BALLADS
(Continued from page 1)
The Texas ranger was always a figure in the ballads of the west Here is a fragment;
"Though sore it may grieve you the rangers must leave you
Exposed to the arrows and knives of your foe,
For home to the states I'm determined to go.
So herd your own cattle and fight your own battle
"Here is the song that brought the most applause from the audience. It shows, perhaps, where the student and the cowboy have much ij common.
"O the cowpuncher loves the whis
tie of his rope
As he races over the plains,
the plains,
And the stage driver loves
the popper of his wrip
And the rattle of his concorde chains;
And we'll all pray the Lord that we'll be saved
And keep the golden rule
pulled the golden fule
But I'd rather be at home with the girl I love
Than to monkey with this bad burned mule.

WILL THE COLLEGE TAKE PROFS' DARE?
"We certainly would like a shot at the Profs.", he said. "Personally, I would like to see whether their wind is as good on the basket-ball court as it is in the class room after the chapel whistle blows. I really think that we would wipe up
Members of the College five think the game should be played at once. One of them said this morning that he was confident the faculty team would meet defeat, though he realized that much had been done in the past week to strengthen the pedagogical aggression.
Student Team Anxious to Accept Pedagogues'
Opinions differ as to the attitude that the College basket-ball team should take in reference to the challenge of the faculty team which was issued recently.
Defi.
the challenge was a complete surprise to me," said Coach Hamilton this morning. "I was given no hint of such decisive action on the part of the professors before I saw the accounts in the papers. Personally I do not think the College team, should give them a game until they have played some team of recognized standing. I would suggest that the professors get a game with the Reds or the Blues."
the earth with them, that the game would be one-sided, in fact a regular slaughter of the innocents, but I imagine that I would like that. Also I hope the game is rough. Two of my dear instructors play on that team."
Meanwhile the professors practice, the College team worries, and the challenge of the pedagogues is in stat quo.
The after-dinner talks on Saturday afternoon will be given by Prof Merle Thorpe on, "High School Journalism," W. O. Hamilton on "High School Athletics," Prof. F. W. Blackmar on "Economies as a High School Subject," L. D. Whittemore on "Normal Training Subjects," Prof. D. C. Rodgers on "A Simplified Psychology for High School Students," Prof. Edna Day on "Domestic Science," Prof. W. C. Stevens on "High School Agriculture," and Prof. R. R.

Preparing for the Big
Circus
Send the Daily Kansan home.
Have you ever seen a real circus aerobat manufactured from the raw awkward bumpkin to the finished graceful performer? If not, drop over to the gymnasium any afternoon and watch the processes that the would-be Barnnums are being put through in order that they may excel in their stunts in the big indoor Circus Maximus at the gym April 13. Under the direction of Mr. Anderson, we build a pyramid buildings, clown and concert men are rapidly learning the finer lines of the game and the results promised are exceeding all demands.
Not only acobats and clowns however will appear in the arena, as the Kansas National Guard has furnished sixteen of its best men to go through "The Gym" and the boy's asthetic and folk dancing class has twenty members.
About seventy-five men are working out every day and are divided up in the following manner; ladder and pyramid squares, twenty-七; Kansas National guardmen, sixteen; folk dancing class, twenty-clown and concert troupe, fifteen and special feature tumbling, four. Room one and three is occupied once the latter quartet and may easily be classed among the best amatures in the middle west.
There will also be a thrilling Japanese "Slide for Life" followed by slack and tight wire walking. The contortionist will not be left out, so when the acrobatic stunts are finished the audience may amuse itself by watching the "frog man" tie himself in a four-in-hand knot around an imaginary tent pole, while the animals cavort wildly on their front or hind legs, as the rooftop them. And this evening will no longer small part of the evening's entertainment. Every species of animal ever heard of from darkest Africa to coldest Siberia will have a representative and they will be as well trained as the best.
The concert after the show will be a feature, where the strains from watching the perilous performances of the "big show" will be relied by the comical and entertaining sayings and actions of the clowns and black faces.
The Circus Maximus is without doubt one of the largest single performances ever put on at the University and as all gate receipts are to be put into the Women's Dormitory fund it is desired by the directors that every student in the University give it their hearty co-operation.
COLUMBIA WINS IN EAST
Purdue and Wisconsin Dispute Leadership of the Big Eight
With the basket ball title of the Missouri Valley still hanging the teams in the Eastern League and in neighboring states have the opportunities of their respective sections settled.
This is more nearly true of the Eastern schools than of those in the west as there are two teams tied for the first place in the Big Eight. Purdue did not win either game and none lost but the Badgers with nine and no defeats dispute their claim.
It has been proposed that the two teams play a post season series of three games to determine to whom the title belongs, but the plan has not been arranged to the satisfaction of the prospective contestants at the present time.
The standing of the Big Eight is as follows:
W. L. Pet.
Purdue 10 0 1,000
Wisconsin 9 0 1,000
Minnesota 5 4 .555
Chicago 5 5 .500
Illinois 4 6 .400
Indiana 1 7 .125
Iowa 0 4 .000
Northwestern 0 4 .000
The Columbia five secured themselves in first place by defeating Penn. early in the week. Dartmouth defeated Cornell who was her nearest position with a win. Yale clings to last position with a ring of nine defeats and a lone victory.
