After their conditioning game of Friday night against the fresh, the varsity held light practices on fundamentals yesterday and this morning in preparation for the Doane College team which will win the first non-conference night for the first non-conference tilt of the season at 7:30 o'clock.
The Doane College team, coached by Eugene Haylett, brother of Ward Haylett of Kansas State, who was a Doane coach decade ago, is apt to be underrated by the Jayhawker team and followers. For, with seven lettermen around whom to form the nucleus, Haylett has built a team which may provide a surprise for Kansas. Testifying to his confidence, Haylett has arrange an 18-game schedule for this year, which is said to be the toughest ever attempted by a Doane team.
Praile in Old Form
Kansas, on the other hand, showed near mid-season form Friday night as the eager freshwere turned back slowly but methodically to a defeat. Against probably the greatest freshman team the Jayhawkers have had in years, the varsity players showed that they had the spirit to keep courage back and seceded steadily was hitting the basket with his old form of the past two years, and Golay, Schmidt, Corlis, and Johnson picked up their share of the points when opportunity presented itself.
The Tigers from Crette, Neb, will have seven lettermen—Don Kristu-fek, forward; Harold Reeves, forward; Lester Reed, center; Paul Baker, forward; Jack Sloey, guard; Archie Norton, guard; and Jim Cherry, guard-backed up by three promising sophomores in Wilson Belka, Keith Griffiths, and Don Lidophi, Belka, Belka, forward from the front line, School is 6 feet, such tall, and has been working in the front line with Kristu-fek and Reeves, where he is quite effective. Kristu-fek Four-port-man
Kristefuck, 6 feet, 165-pound forward, is playing his fourth year as a Doane regular, and has been all-conference selection for the past two years, leading the conference in scoring both years, and setting a new conference record in 8 games, for 14 points a game. He is a four-sport man, lettering in football, track, tennis, and basketball.
Reeves is considered the smoothest man of the squad, being fast and possessing a good eye for the basket. Reid, reserve center of last year, is bidding for a starting berth along with Baker, another substitute of last year, to hold the start guard, while the team is being battled for by Norton and Cherry, with Norton in the lead position.

Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 4—(UP) — Coaches, players, and officials gave a Middle Western interpretation to the game in a clarification meeting here today.
in adapting rule changes for the game nationally, both interests must be considered, and unless the game becomes standardized, there will be difficulty for officials and players in competing in international games. Doctor Allen said.
Doctor Allen, coach of the University of Kansas basketball team improvised a court and called volunteers out of the audience to act as "players in clarifying technicalities.
Dr. Forrest C. Allen, a member of the national basketball rules committee, who presided, said that in recent years two distinct styles of basketball had been developed, the Middle West style as played by men and the Big Ten conferences, and the Eastern, as played in Madison Square Garden.
The principal rule change was the virtual elimination of the tip-off, or center jump play, for many players placed a premium on tall men.
A about a hundred persons from a half-dozen college conferences and a few high school circuits attended the meeting.

Famous Violinist Makes Appearance Wednesday In Auditorium
Heifetz To Play Here
.
Jascha Hefetz, internationally famous violinist, will give a recital at Hoch auditorium Wednesday, Dec. 8, at 8:20 p.m.
Heifetz has devoted the greater part of his life to the mastering of his chosen instrument. He was born in Russia, and at the age of three years began playing the violin. He entered the Royal School of Music at Vilna when he was five years old. In three years he graduated and was taken to St. Petersburg, where he became the pupil of Leopold Auer at the Imperial Conservatory. He began playing the conservative recital at the age of nine, and was engaged soon after as solo artist with the symphony orchestra at Pavlovsk, playing before large audiences.
Heifetz made his New York debut in 1917. Critics have said that he is "endowed with a fabulous technical equipment, a pure and noble style, and a tone of unparalleled loveliness, and he utilizes these exquisite utilities solely for the expression of human aspirations and experience."
Heftet owns several celebrated violins known to connoisseurs and collectors. His favorites, his Guarnerius and his Stradivarius, are everywhere. One of these will be used for his Lawrence concert.

Equipment Valued at $531 Purchased by Health Service; Culminates Long Campaign in Co-operation With, National Program Against Venereal Diseases
Starting Tuesday, a Wassermann test will be available to all students in the University who desire such a test, according to a statement made by Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the University health service.
The announcement came as the culmination to a campaign started last spring in which it was demonstrated, by a survey conducted by the Daily Kansan, that students were 100 per cent in favor of the Wassermann as a compulsory test.

Van Horebeek Is Dead
The test as it will now be given, however, is not compulsory.
A. Van Horebeck, head University garder for the past fifteen years, died yesterday morning at Lawrence Memorial hospital at 5:29 o'clock while under an oxygen tent. Funeral services will be held Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. at the Uitarian Church, with Dr. H. Lee Jones officiating. The body will lie in state at the Schubert [female] home, 1020 vermont street, until the funeral.
Mr. Van Horebeek had been critically ill all week, suffering from bronchial pneumonia, which necessitated oxygen in an effort to save his life.
He was a native of Belgium, born Dec. 23, 1883, but lived in the United States for nearly thirty years, and for more than fifteen years was foreman of the landscaping staff at the University. His skill in the handling of plants and trees, occasioned much comment.
Born in Belgium
Van Horebek was one of the Campus characters, known to a large circle of faculty and students as "Van." He took pride in the trim appearance of the Campus, and seemed to have an uncanny knowledge of what plants would do best in various places. He took a great interest in the flower beds, arranging garden plots, planting the Campus flowers and landscaping for man, can be attributed to his desire to make the Campus a thing of beauty, not only for the students and townspaces, but for visitors as well .
Wounded in War
Van Horebeek was in Belgium at the outbreak of the World war, and fought for several days, until he was wounded, as a member of the civilian guard of Antwerp. Some accounts include capture by the Germans and difficulty in making escape, but at any rate, he came to the United States as soon as he could.
While the war was still in progress, he came to Lawrence and bought the Luther greenhouses, then on Fifteenth street near Massachusetts. Later, he removed the greenhouses, and moved in which he rented living himself at Fifteenth and Vermont streets.
Van Hornebek entered the employ of the University Feb. 20, 1922, as foreman of the landscape crew, and continued in that position until his

Will Broadcast Satire
Over KFKU Tomorrow Night
The ghost of "only seventeen more days until Christmas" will haunt the waves issuing from KFKU tomorrow at 6 o'clock. This innovation in radio plays was written by Jim Brad field and Joe Myers and is called, fear of anything else, "Ghosts 1 Ghosts."
As co-author Bradfield put it, "it is a satire on things in general." The cast of six will be directed in their voice antices by Myers.
The board of Regions ruled last spring against such a compulsory test and no funds available for that purpose. However, the University seems to be feeling that students really desired the test, purchased the necessary equipment from the regular budget of the service.
Equipment, purchased at a total cost of $313.80, is now being assembled in a room in the hospital and will be ready for use Tuesday. With the new equipment the hospital will receive each week from 159 to 200 tests each week.
Results Kent Confidential
Students desiring the test will call at the dispensary as usual and will be taken to the usual treatment rooms. Tests and the results will be kept secret throughout. Tubes and a syringe will be kept only by number.
It is expected that more than the maximum of 200 students will request the test at first and provision will be made for registering those who cannot be handled and notify them as soon as the test can be made.
The addition of the Wassermann test represents an extension of the preventive medicine program of the health service, which includes the routine physical examination, the medical care control program, housing project, and examination of food handlers in organized houses. The equipment purchased for the Wassermann test may be used also for many other purposes and will extend the facilities of hospital in all kinds of blood tests.
Comply With Kansas Survey
in commenting on the test Doctor Canuteson said. "The health service has co-operated with the student body in complying with its wishes as evidenced by the Kansan survey in the spring of 1937. The Wassermann test will now be available to all students desiring it. A routine Wassermann test should be a part of every physical examination.
The establishment of the test in the University is in direct accord with a national campaign now being waged against syphilis. Doctor Cauthesun indicated that the incidence of positive reactors is expected to be very low. Another large university has reported an 0.24 per cent in a group of 5,000. It is expected that the rate will be even lower here.
Doctor Canuteson said that the suits of the test would be 'kept absolutely confidential. A positive reaction will have no effect on the present status of a student, but he will be advised about treatment.'
