To Check Out Equipment for Grid Practice
Varsity football candidates will check out equipment today and tomorrow in preparation for spring practice, announced Head Coach Henry Shenk today.
Practice will begin at 4:30 Monday afternoon in the stadium. Sessions will be held five days a week, for a month. Just how many men will report is not known by Coach Shenk, although he is expecting quite a few. There are over a dozen lettermen on the campus, who with the addition of new trainees, should make a squad of about forty. However, some grid prospects as well as lettermen are out for track and will not report for spring practice. A list of candidates reporting will be released next week.
A rugged schedule for next fall is planned, said the coach, consisting of about 10 games. Besides the regular Big Six contests, Denver University has been added and probably Washburn will be played also. Tentative plans are being made for a game with Texas Christian University, to be played in Kansas City, plus two more games with opponents yet undetermined.

With no more unforeseen happenings or any major catastrophes the NCAA tournament will get underway tonight at Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium, Iowa State plays Pepperdine in the main game and Missouri meets Utah in the evening's opener. This year has been a hectic one for the NCAA officials in trying to get four teams to meet for the Western division championship. Owing to stubborn persistence the tourney will go on as scheduled
It will be interesting how the Big Six teams make out against outside competition in tournament play. Iowa State is favored over the Los Angeles school and the Tigers are expected to go down before Utah, upsets, however, occur often in tournaments so the games are expected to be very entertaining. Fans will doubtless have difficulty spotting the players with three pairs of twins performing.

The basketball rules may be in for some changes in the next few days, with between 60 and 70 coaches, representing the National Association of Basketball Coaches and the National Basketball Rules Committee meeting in New York. The problem foremost on the minds of the coaches is the one concerning goal tenders, the lads who have the height and ability to stop many, a shot headed for the net. What will come out of the meetings is hard to tell, but it is almost certain that action will be suggested or taken. Even then, if something is done to stop the tall man, it will take a while to determine whether the new change is the correct solution or not.

The State high school basketball tournament is on at Topeka this weekend. It began last night with the class AA schools playing and the class A and B teams play tonight in four games. The finals in the three divisions will be Saturday. Newton and Shawnee-Mission, defending state champs, are the finalists in class AA winning over Wyandotte and Salina, respectively, last night. Some fine cage prospects for college play are appearing in the tourney and no doubt are being looked over by surrounding coaches.

At the Field Museum in Chicago, Ill., Dr. Hibbard will study rodent material to finish some work which he is now doing on the fossil horned rodent. Few of these specimens are known in North America.
With Dr. Carl Hubbs, curator of fishes at the University of Michigan, Dr. Hibbard will study fossil fish, and then go to the American Museum in New York City where he will work for three or four days. Here he will compare the fossil horned rodent specimens with Cope's types of Pleistocene rodents.

Statewide Activities Chairmen Will Meet
Because it was found that not all county chairmen had turned in the lists of appointed correspondents, the Statewide Student Activities Commission decided at a meeting this week to have a large assembly for all county chairmen and correspondents Tuesday, March 28 at 7:15 p.m., however the place of meeting was not selected.
Cards will be sent to all county chairmen reminding them that their lists of appointed correspondents, or home-town news writers, must be turned in to the Alumni office by March 24. Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association, which is the headquarters of the Commission, said that a list of students of the counties and the names of the newspapers in each town is available in the alumni office for those county chairmen who wish to use it.
Margaret O5Brian has been selected to replace Sarepta Pierport Ostrum as the chairman in charge of a group of southeast Kansas counties. Replacing John Sells, Sophomore, who has left for the army, is Mignon Morton, junior in the School of Business, who will take charge of a group of northeast Kansas counties.
