BAKER BEATEN AT BALDWIN
JAYHAWKERS TOOK GAME FROM PREACHERS 27 TO 21.
That score doesn't look like a walk-away and it wasn't. It took Johnson's men some time to re realize they were playing basketball and by the time the discovery was made Baker had a 10 to 1 lead.
Captain Johnson's men returned from Baldwin with another victory on the string. The Methodists fell before them in the second game by a 27 to 21 score.
Things looked mighty bad for a time, but the fifteen rooters who went with the team, Rock Chalked, Hamilton said things, Captain Johnson snapped his fingers and snarled signals and then the home athletes began to use team work. They hit the baskets and the result was that at the end of the first half the score stood Kansas 14, Baker 11.
The second half was marked by great team work by the home lads and such fine guarding that the Methodists became desperate and began to shoot for goals from the middle of the court. They had just scored two baskets on long throws when the game ended.
The Methodists Had a 10 to 1 Lead, But Lost at Last-"Referee's Fault"-Baker.
Captain Johnson and Martin-dell did the best work for K. U., while W. Counts starred for Baker.
The Baldwin people were generally dissatisfied with Referee Fisher and threatened to get him.
The score:
K. U. 27. Goals. Fouls. F. T.

Penn's track manager is trying to fix it so that the Philadelphia candidates will have one practice a week throughout the winter. The individuals and relay teams will be entered in meets in New York, Washington, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore.

PAN-HELLENIC SMOKER
Annual Greek Event on the Fifth of February.
At a meeting of the Pan-Hellenic council held the first of the week, final arrangements were made for the annual Pan-Hellenic smoker to be held in the hall over the Democrat office on the evening of February 5. Fraternity men in the faculty and all members of general fraternities which do not have chapters in the University will be invited to attend.
The same as at last year's smoker, the different fraternities will put on 'stunts' for entertainment. In addition to the usual vaudeville acts, two wrestling bouts will be staged. The participants in these events will be fraternity men. If two men can be found among the fraternities who are willing to participate, a boxing match will be arranged for.

'AT "CHILDREN'S HOUR.'
Students of Expression Department in Popular Work.
All applications must be sent to the Chancellor's office before March 15, 1910. Blank applications for these fellowships may be secured from the Chancellor.
Frank Ward, sophomore College, was at his home in Kansas City over Saturday and Sunday.
A popular feature of the Lawrence city library is the "Children's hour" every Saturday afternoon, when the children gather to hear stories told. Miss Vedo Walker of the department of expression has been put in charge of the children's hour. A student of the department is on the program to tell a story at each session. Miss Winifred Van Vliet told a story for the children last Saturday.
HILL CLIMBING NOT HEALTHFUL
DR. NAISMITH EXPLODES SOME PREVALENT IDEAS.
After All K. U. Football Men Are Not Developed Scaling Mt. Oread.
"I have been greatly amused at the idea that is prevalent among the students that the hill contributes greatly towards the health of the students," said Dr Naismith, to his hygiene class Monday. "Now I do not mean to say that this is absolutely wrong for we do get many advantages from the hill. If we all lived on the hill it would be all right. The trouble is that we eat a hearty breakfast and rush up the hill make an 8 o'clock class, or eat a hearty dinner and hurry to a 1:30 class. For when the food is taken into the stomach the tissues are gorged with blood in order to digest the food, and when we walk rapidly up the hill this blood is drawn from the stomach to the muscles of locomotion, leaving the food in an undigested condition."
When one of the students remarked that after a student reached his class he took no more exercise and the blood would return again to the stomach, Dr. Naismith replied: "No the blood does not return to the stomach. When you are in class you use your brain and the blood is carried to it. If it is not carried to your brain there is a tendency for you to become drowsy through the fact that the brain is clamoring for it. This is explains why you are so sleepy in a 1:36 class."
When Dr. Naismith first came here he found that the average heart beat of the students was 96. He was greatly puzzled until he found that this very high average was caused by the exertion of climbing the hill.
Three Men Elected to Kansan Staff.

QUESTION WAS ACCEPTED
Tryouts for Missouri Team Will be Held on Feb 15.
That the income tax is a desirable means of raising revenue within the state is the question submitted by Missouri University for the annual debate with the University of Kansas.The proposition was formally accepted by the debating council at its meeting last evening but the side of the question was not decided upon.
The first tryout for the Missouri team will be held February 15. Those intending to enter this contest should give their names to some member of the debating council or to Professor W. E. Higgins.
EXCEL INTELLECTUALLY.
Prof. W. H. Carrath spoke in chapel this morning in regard to the claims of scholarship which he believes too often do not bulk large enough in the ambitions of the students. Far from the first among the ideals cherished by the student is the ambition to excel in intellectual pursuits.
So Said Prof. Carruth in Chapel This Morning.
To give a concrete example Professor Carruth contrasted the fact that no public demonstration was made upon the return to the University of the first Rhodes scholar from Kansas with the celebration of athletic events. Professor Carruth by no means deprecated the value of physical development and the importance of athletics, but he does not wish an over-emphasis of the spectacular advertisements of the University. He believes that genuine scholarship must in the end be the best recommendation for the school.
Professor Carruth recognized that the reward for scholarship in its nature must usually be unassuming, but he clearly presented the satisfaction that the student may have without regard to the world. The master minds of the ages are open through books. Furthermore, the habits and astes of the scholar secure him rewards at slight expense and throughout life. In closing Professor Carruth administered something of a rebuke to platform speakers whose utterances are calculated to belittle intellectual attainments by urging the value of social intercourse.

SHELDON HERE FOR THE WEEK
THE TOPEKA MINISTER TO SPEAK OFTEN.
Is the Author of "In His Steps"
—At Y. M. C. A. Meeting
Tonight.
Dr. Charles M. Sheldon, the famous Topeka author, preacher and lecturer, began his week at the University by reading one of his story sermons at 4:30 in the chapel this afternoon. He will speak at chapel exercises tomorrow, Thursday and Friday morning and also at the vesper services at 4 o'clock Sunday aftrenoon.
He will speak tonight at 6:45 at Myers hall when the regular weekly Y. M. C. A. meeting will be held instead of on Thursday. Dr. Sheldon will also speak to the girls at the regular Y. W. C. A. meeting at 4:45 Wednesday afternoon. At 4:30 Friday afternoon he will deliver his second story sermon. As a writer of religious stories Dr. Charles M. Sheldon has secured a world-wide reputation. His book "In His Steps," has been translated into more languages than any book ever written other than the Bible. As a lecturer Dr. Sheldon has also been much sought after. He has but recently returned from a New England trip, during which he lectured at a conference at Bangor, Me., and also at Providence, R. I.
Beginning tomorrow morning after chapel, Dr. Sheldon will have office hours in Myers hall, to talk with any students who wish to see him. He is in close touch and in hearty sympathy with student life as those students learned who talked with him last year.
HIT THE GRIT.
Fifteen Students Save Thirty Two Cents Apiece.
People may rave about the plutocrats at the University but when fifteen men walk sixteen miles to save thirty-two cents apiece, surely this theory is disproved.
The gentlemen in question went to Baldwin to the basket-ball game Saturday night and after the affair was over took the cinder path for home.
At exactly 11 o'clock p. m. Otto Apollo and 'Buck" Gephard led the grand march out of Preacher-town, and at 3:50 Otto headed the procession into Lawrence, while "Gep" puffed along in the rear. As a result several men have been excused from gym classes because of blisters and stiff knees.
