TOURNAMENT WILL BE A CLASSY AFFAIR
Sectional High School Champs Will Settle State Basket Ball Leadership
The inter-scholastic basket-ball tournament held in Robinson gymnastium last year brought forth more individual champions than have ever before been chosen out of the high schools throughout the state. While the entry sheets were not as full as the preceding year the players entered were much better qualified for the positions they handled and the play was much faster and more sportsmanly than in former tournaments.
Records were made and kept of the individual scores made in the semi-finals and finals and from these a first and second team for both boys and girls was picked. On the first boys' team was Russell, Lawrence; Blevens, Arkansas City; Sproul, Lawrence; Woodford, Topeka, Apt, Buffalo. The second team was, Robinson, Winfield; Todd Halstead; Williams, Florence; McClanahan, Clay County and Brown Lawrence. These players were selected by Dr. James Naismith and Coach W. O. Hamill as being entitled to membership on the AllKansas high school basket-ball teams.
A first girls' team was selected mainly from players from Chanute and Reno county. The Chanute team won the silver loving cup for the championship of the state while the Reno county girls received the trophy ball for second place.
On account of the extreme rivalry last year the games promise to be more than usually interesting this year. It was "nip and tuck" all the way through in the last tournament and the championships were decided with difficulty. The different team are even better prepared this year to put up hard games and from pres ent outlooks there will be some close decisions.

NO MORE RED TAPE FOR THE NORTHWEST
Universities of That Section Abandon Unenforceable Summer Baseball Rule.
The summer baseball rule, now in the rule book governing the eligibility of athletics in the Northwest, will be wiped off at the next annual meeting of the Northwest Conference, if the graduate managers have anything to say about it. The rule is known to be a dead-letter and the managers say it ought to be rescinded.
"This summer baseball rule was discussed extensively at the conference," said Manager Zeidnich of Washington State University yesterday. "Some of the managers declared the rule ought to be enforced once, just to show that practically every college baseball player in the Northwest would be ruled out. They declare this would bring the institutions to their senses." The team, already moved from the book, they declare it was ridiculous to have a provision disqualifying athletes because they earn a few dollars playing baseball in the summer time.
"Others said the rule was not being enforced and inasmuch as it was a deadletter it ought to be forgotten. Its being on the books made no difference, they said. However, it was the unanimous opinion that before the next conference to induce the institutions to meet the question honestly and to abolish the rule, inasmuch as it would have been possible plainly, they said, puts a premium on evading the conference agreement in this respect at least. Colleges all over the country have trouble with the summer baseball pros and the managers in session at
Portland felt that the Northwest ought to be progressive enough to take the lead in the matter, express their convictions honestly and abolish the rule. At the regular conference last year an effort was made to wipe the rule from his record. The governor came instructed by their student bodies or faculties to retain the rule.
It is certain if the representatives who gathered at Portland have any influence with their institutions the rule longer burden the eligibility book much longer.
PROFESSOR TO EUROPE
Prof. E. M. Briggs, of the German department, will leave with Mrs. Briggs about the middle of the summer for a year's travel through Germany and Europe. Professor Briggs has obtained a year's leave of absence and will study in Germany for his doctor's degree.

The Kind Legislature Rebuked.
The Illinois state supreme court rendered a decision last week which declares unconstitutional an act of the last legislature voting $60,000 for the medical school of the state university. Several other appropriations for the university were passed in the same manner. It is thought a special session of the legislature will be called so that the university and others may get the benefit of the bills passed.
Cornhuskers Newspaper An nouncements Surprising News to Hamilton
Coach Hamilton is still in doubt as to whether a championship basketball series will be played with Nebraska. It is probable that the series will be abandoned.
In spite of the various newspaper reports that Kansas had made certain concessions to Nebraska and had agreed to play at Omaha this week Coach Hamilton did not receive any answer to his letter of the 9th which offered several propositions for playing the games, until 10:30 this morning.
In this letter Coach Sziehm of Nebraska made no mention of any financial guarantee to Kansas not did he take into consideration that Kansas had as yet not agreed concerning the officiating of Hyland His letter says that the Omahpa papers will advertise the game. In view of the fact that the papers would but have one day to advertise the affair Hamilton does not feel that we should consent to play there without at least a guarantee of expenses in view of the fact that we made this guarantee in our offer for playing at Kansas City.
If the authorities accept the Nebraska proposition the Kansas players will be forced to leave at two o'clock this afternoon in order to reach Omaha in time for the first game.
