UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
BASEBALL SEASON OPENS NEXT WEEK.
Missouri Games Will Be Played If the Wading Is Good.
Coach Sherwin refuses to let the weather interfere with the the Jayahawker's chances for winning the first base ball games of the season and the workouts he has been giving the men in the game are as stiff as is possible within doors.
In order that the diamond may be in as good condition as possible for the games with Missouri next Tuesday and Wednesday, the coach with a few of his aids went down to McCook field yesterday afternoon and shoved a foot or two of snow off of the base lines and out of the pitcher's box.
It will be impossible for either team to show up in its best form, however, for the diamond, with the snow off, will be soft and soggy. The games will probably be close, though the Kansas team expects to win both of them. The men have been working out hard for the last month and though they have missed the almost essential out-door training these last few days, they nevertheless learned a great deal about the game.
Coach Sherwin said yesterday, "I am especially anxious to see a good crowd out to the first games next Tuesday and Wednesday. The men have not yet got on their feet and it will take a little enthusiasm and interest among the students to give them the proper start. We have some excellent material to work with this year and the prospects for a successful season are exceedingly good, but we cannot expect to come out ahead unless the students give us their hearty support in all games. The men can play much better before a yelling thousand than they can before silent bleachers."
If the Missouri team starts on its trip there will be small possibility of post-ponement of the games no matter what the conditions of the field may be. If it is possible to wade or swim around the diamond the games will be played. If not the Kansas manager will dig down in his pocket an pay
will dig down in his pocket an pay the Tigers their guarantee just the same
NAISMITH'S GAME TOO ROUGH
Brown Follows Lead of Other Eastern Schools and Abolishes Basket Ball.
The Athletic Board of Brown University has voted to abolish basket ball as an authorized sport at the university.
This action is but another step in the crusade begun against basket ball. The game is much too rough for collegiate use and is being very generally abandoned by all the eastern universities.
Athletic Constitution Drafted The Men's Student Council met last night. The new athletic constitution was drafted and will be put into effect in the near future, after being ratified by the Board of Regents.

Captain French May No Play on Account of an Injured Ankle
In sharp contrast to the joyful news that the Woodbury brothers will enter in the track meet Friday night comes the report that Captain William French sustained a serious injury to his left ankle about a week and a half ago and will be greatly handicapped in the in the events in which he entered in the Woodbury race.
French strained his ankle while giving an exhibition of high jumping a week ago last Saturday and in the handicap meet last Monday night fell on it in such a way that he has been unable to work out since. Dr. Naismith has examined the ankle and says that special care will have to be taken of it if French wished to go into the meet Friday night.
French has been jumping about even with Nichelsen, Missouri's high jumper, but with the handicap of a bad ankle it is doubtful whether or not he will be able to keep up to his former record. The Jayhawker team can not afford to lose the points that French was counted with and would have expected happens the chances for a Kansas victory Friday night are small indeed.
JAY BOND MAY BE THE
NEXT WASHBURN COACH
Former Kanas Halfback May Fill Position Vacated by Driver in the Toneka College.
Jay Bond, coach of the Freshman football team this fall, has been called to Topeka to consult with the athletic authorities there. Since the recent resignation of Director Driver, the Washburnville player is now looking for successors and it is possible that Jay may be selected to fill the vacancy.
Bond made an enviable reputation as a football player while at K. U. and has been characterized as the best football head that has worn the Red and Blue in the past fifteen years. He was a great coach as a coach both at the University and in several of the smaller schools of the state.
WHAT'S THE USE OF HITTING?
Georgetown U. Made 10 Runs in One Inning - And Only One Hit.
Ten runs with only one hit were scored in the fifth innning today by the Georgetown University baseball team against Mount St. Joesph college, Baltimore. Georgetown went to bat with the score 9 to 0 in favor of the Baltimore team. The first batter made a home run, nine men were given bases on balls, and three men were hit by the pitcher. The bases were full with no one out and the visiting team in disgust quit the field, the final score being 10 to 9.

DANCE, BUT DON'T DANCE TOO MUCH
709 Mass. Street
Dr. Naismith Says This Form of Exercise Alone is Not Suitable
"The ideal American girl, besides being light and graceful, should have her chest and arms developed. Much of the benefits of dancing is acquired by simple, every-day walking. Therefore, we have dumb-bells, clubs, wands, volley ball and numerous other light exercises to develop the girls.
Are the girls of the University of Kansas over-developed physically, or are they under-developed? The opinion is being pretty generally circulated among the schools and colleges of the East that the modern college girl is too strong. Dr. Thomas D. Wood, director of the physical department of Columbia University, says that practically all gymnastics work requires a clear body and that out-door work and dancing will take its place. "We want more grace and less strength in our girls," said Dr. Wood.
"But gymnasiums for girls will not be eliminated. Gymnasiums are built for exercise in bad weather, and we shall always have them. Out-door exercise is the ideal kind, to be sure, but it is ridiculous to speak of any other than indoor work during the rainy and winter months."
In commenting on these assertions, Dr. James Naismith, physical director of the University says that the Kansas girls have the best system of exercise and athletics that it is possible to obtain “There is a tendency,” said Dr. Naismith, “to place too much value on the benefits of dancing. Dancing develops only the lower parts of the body. We have been criticised somewhat in the past when we talked too much stress on anesthetic exercise. Our aim is to produce health, grace, suppleness and skill in the girls. We have no work too heavy for them.
Dr. Naismith says that with tennis courts the girls athletic system here would be ideal. He has been trying for several years to secure a nest of boys in the gymnasium, but for lack of a suitable location, the University is without them now.
INQUISITIVE INQUIRIES
Wants to Know Why and Wherefore of White Box in Fowler Yard
"To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
"Some time ago there appeared on the front page of your paper a mysterious article referring to the little white lattice box which faces the chemistry building. I do not know yet what the box contains nor do I have the least idea what it is for.
"I have perused your columns eagerly since that time, in the vain hope that some light might be thrown upon the mystery. Is it fair for you to arouse any interest with a lot of guessing and then leave me to guess for myself?
"Of course if the matter must be kept secret, or if you do not know yourself, I am sorry that I have mentioned it.
"But—I want to know.
"Inquisitive."
The little white latticed box is the home of Mr. Baro Meter and his brother Thermo.

RADIUM IN ARKANSAS?
Professor Twenhofel Says Reports of Discovery May be Based on Fact.
According to reports from Rogers, Arkansas, radium has been found in large quantities in the Ozark mountains. Tests of the radio-active ore have been made by State Geologist Perdue of the University of Arkansas, and all the results tend to verify the assertions of the discoverer.
Scientists who have tested the Arkansas ore claim that much of it is worth $20,000 a pound.
When Prof. W. H. Twenhoof of the University was asked concerning the probabilities of radium being found in the Ozarks, he said, "I see no reason why radium should not be found in Arkansas, but the main question is whether it can be found in paying the utility bill in Kansas contains radium, as do also many other minerals, but the amount is too small to make it of commercial value."
