Fourteen Teams Will Begin Play Monday Night
Drawings for positions in the two intramural basketball leagues were made last night at a meeting of intramural managers in Robinson gymnasium. Fourteen organizations had signified their intention of entering teams, making it possible for two separate leagues of seven teams each, to be organized.

A few other changes were made in the existing rules. Four players instead of the usual five must be on the floor at game time, and 7:30 games will positively end at 8:30. If necessary the third and fourth quarters of the 7:30 games will be shortened equally so that the next games will begin on time.

He also announced that varsity basketball players would referee the games.

No definite plans have been made as yet about Religious Emphasis week, usually held on the campus in connection with the minister's conference, according to Rachel VanderWerf, executive secretary of the YWCA. Religious Emphasis week may be held independently sometime later, Mrs. VanderWerf said.

The Washburn game—
Admittedly, the Jayhawk opener Monday night against the Washburn Blues was far from satisfactory. The Topekans had not beaten the Crimson and Blue five since 1929, and frankly, did not hope to do so Monday. Kansas went over to Topeka with a 27-man squad which proved larger than the Blue home team. The Ichabods just had more spirit than the Kansas five throughout the entire game, and that was enough to win. Then, too, the home five playing on their home court had the support of the entire student body while there were probably not ten persons in the gym, outside of the team, who were pulling for a Jayhawk victory.
The handful of Jay James who made the trip with E. C. Quigley to the game certainly tried, but the few female voices were all but drowned out by the fairly large Washburn cheering section. Incidently, "Quig" brought the Jay James over himself to liven up the after game dinner at the Chocolate Shop, and your correspondent reports that they certainly did.
The trip over was bad enough, with flooding pavement and a driving rain to battle all the way, but the return voyage would have driven even the samest man to distraction. The cars in which the team returned had to drive through a thick fog which almost completely obscured the driver's vision most of the time. Weather conditions certainly were not favorable for playing a good basketball game! Looking forward—
The Crimson and Blue tie into the Ichabos again Friday night here in Hoch auditorium, and certain Kansas team will be out for revenge that night. Looking good Monday night were Owen Peck, diminutive forward with an eagle eye for the basket, and Charlie Moffett, who had only recently been released from the hospital for injuries suffered in the K.U.-M.U. game. Moffett still shows the fine one-handed shot that placed him among the leaders in the Big Six scoring race last winter, and his floor play is very steady. "What the
entire team really needs, though, is an older and more experienced player on the court to steady them down when the going gets rough and a good rebounder. The presence of these two in Friday night's game is going to make a big difference in the score. ___
HUMAN RELATIONS----

(continued from page one) dom, toward training the imagination of students to meet new situations, Dean Donham said. Many professional schools are too narrow, however; and most liberal arts colleges, he declared, make the mistake of trying, or pretending to, use the scientific methods in fields where it cannot be used—the social studies, for example.
For example,
"After all, in this world of uncertainty, the only thing we can be sure of is the probability that very little will turn out to be as we expected. You cannot tie down the facts of life, the changing human relationships, but you can train people to think, to develop imagination, to see new forces and factors as they affect people."
Criticize Elective System
Criticize Elective System
To support his argument that it is fallacious to require study of foreign languages because "it will help us understand other nations and their culture," he put up Europe as a prime exhibit. Nowhere else in the world do so many persons understand the languages of their neighbors as in Europe, he declared. "Does that fact account for Europe's system of peace?" he inquired.
The elective system, the prerequisite based on time sequence, and failure to teach history with the present as the touchstone were criticized as general weaknesses in liberal arts institutions. At least 80 per cent of liberal arts curriculum in the first two years should be required, he suggested, and at least 60 per cent of the four years' work.
A committee of educators said recently that "comparatively few" colleges are facing a critical situation.
Contests in six sports have been planned for a program of Navy intramurals between the Pt's on the campus during the fall and winter semester, Chief Specialist G. W. Gathings of the V-12 office announced this morning. A "Fite Nite" at Hoch auditorium has also been planned later in the year, at which the public will be invited to attend the finals in the intramural volleyball, basketball and boxing.
Other sports included in the program are touch football, hand ball, cross country running, swimming and underwater swimming. Points will be given winning Pt's and individuals, and to runners up. High point Pt at the end of the semester will receive some sort of a prize, Chief Gathings said.
Competition in touch football began last week with three games. Pt 5 defeated Pt 8 by forfeit. Pt 9 defeated Pt 6 by a score of 12-0, and Pt 7 won over Pt 10 in an overtime play, 1-0. Other games will be played as weather permits.
Schedules for handball competition have been set up, Chief Gathings said, and games will be played as soon as possible. These contests, as well as the others, are open to the public. The handball games will be played on the field south of Robinson gym.
