TO DEAN GREEN.
First in War, First in Peace, First in the Hearts of His Countrymen.
In every school there is an idol; a person to whom the students look for judgment, consolation or advice in all college disputes and troubles. In some schools it is the "Prexie," in others it is the football coach; in the University of Kansas it is "Uncle Jimmy" Green.
Dean of the School of Law president of the athletic board and the best friend the students
ever could wish for, his word has been law among the student body since the University students ever thought of having a protector.
When enthusiasm is needed, "Uncle Jimmy" speaks in a rooting meeting and hoarse voices are abundant next day. A football controversy arises and the decision of the President of the Athletic Board settles it. A student gets into trouble and Judge Green defends him.
He once attempted to resign from the Athletic Board; again it was said he was going to leave the University, but to the great relief of the entire institution he was forced to remain.
There is no doubt that this popular dean will stay with the University until his lungs are unable to permit him to smoke his favorite cigar.
May he advise our children as well as he did our grandfathers.
LIMERICKS BY C, L. EDSON.
There was an old player named Hicks
There was an old player named Hicks
They say that he used to put cricks In Indian's necks Which reduced 'em to wrecks This cunning old codger named Hicks.
He had a young friend they called Pooler
Bout the size of a small six inch ruler "He can't play at all," People said "He's too small"
But gee whiz! That young lad was a fooler.
There was once a player named Ackerman,
In time he became ju-sta cracker man When they gave him the ball He would bump thru them all And with head, feet and hands he would whack-er-man.
There was a young fellow named Green
The tigers they treated him mean They beat him and maimed him They slugged him and lamed him His face wasn't fit to be seen.
This ain't all though that happened to Green.
His sweetheart rushed onto the scene No longer she'd tarry But forced him to marry Now wasn't that girlie a queen?

BASKET BALL.
The Basket Ball men are hard at work three evenings in the week, getting ready for the coming games and Captain Ira Adams is getting the men into good form. Adams played guard last year and is known as one of the best players on the squad Manley Michaelson and Frank Barlow of last year's team are trying for forwards while C.J.Bliss and H J.Luther are the new men working for the same positions. Bliss has been on the track team for several years and is fast at getting around and passing the ball. Hicks and Pooler are out practicing every evening but say they do not intend to try for the team because their work in the law school requires too much time.
Ben Stelter, Charlie Siler and Milton Miller are trying for the center position. Stelter and Siler have played the game for several years and know the game thoroughly.
Captain Adams will play his old position of guard. Roy Roberts, William Miller, Roseoe Winnegal and Harry Hunter, all new men, are trying for the otner guard. Winnegal is from Hiram college, Ohio, where he played on the college team. He will very probably make the team here.
The schedule for this year's game has not been completed as yet for the Athletic Board has not decided whether it will back Basket Ball or not. But if the Athletic Association does not take hold of it, it is certain that the Department of Physical training will, but if the latter happens of course no elaborate schedule can be planned.
A schedule as outlined by Manager Plank includes at present; Y. M. C. A., Topeka; Emporia State Normal; Kansas National Guards, Newton; Friends' University, Wichita; Agricultural College, Manhattan; and William Jewell of Liberty, Mo., with a possibility of securing out of the state games with Des Moines, Iowa; Iowa State University; Chicago University; and Monmouth College of Illinois,
