Jury Refuses to Grant University Co-ed Divorce From Cruel Husband
The divorce case caused quite a little bit of laughter among the witnesses in the court. A certain Helen Taylor was for divorce from Charles Taylor, daughter-in-law in which her husband criticized her ability to cook and to play bridge. This caused severe embarrassment and mental suffering. The husband filed a cross-account and he asked to be granted a divorce on charges of abandonment and gross neglect.
Marcus Tancret, 'I35, was the husband who took the stand and Louise Eovison, 'c35, was the wife. The jury found him guilty of defrauding the husband, thus refusing to grant the divorce, even in the face of a letter which was read to the jury. It was also found that he did not fact that she was "through with her husband and was finding consolation in the love of another man who could offer more than second rate romance". He was counsel for the plaintiff consisted of Charles L. Hoover, and Charles K. Hoover.

Preston Maxwell was charged with murder by the court of Overton. The prosecution presented four witnesses—a country coroner, a poker player at the house at the time of the murder, a police officer, and a judge brought in as counsel. The counsel brought in considerable evidence, the four witnesses trying to show that the murder was committed when the uncle was alone, and the defendant had been killed. The defense also tried to show that someone else could have slipped in the house and committed the murder. The third alternative was that the uncle died of suicide. He fell, he hit his head on the dresser.
The defense produced the defendant to testify in his own defense; also put one of the poker players on the stand, and he exorcised servant. He testified that he had been forced into a room under the body that he ran to his room and remained there, and when pressed for details, admitted that he was hiding under the bed.

At its completion, Dyche will represent an old building with a sturdy, modern interior, its brown, stained limestone walls, its carved window ledges, its gargoyles, and its pillared doorway will remain in harmony with the other buildings of the campus, and its architecture will be supported for the traditions of the University. The interior will bear the stress of modern scientific collections of animals that makes Dyche the finest natural history museum in the state.

Fans Disapprove Higher Baskets According to Poll
Other Proposed Changes in Basketball Rulings Received Favorably by Crowd
By Donald Evans, c'35
In the poll taken of the crowd attending the experimental basketball game Friday night between the University of Kansas and Kansas State teams all of changes except that raising the floor received a favorable vote.
The suggestion favoring the throwing up of held and jump balls in the restraining circles also received the approval of the crowd.
The moving of the basket in from the end line six feet instead of two received the most favorable vote. Three hundred seven persons voted in favor of the change while only 101 voted against it. A vote requiring the throwing of free threepenalty out of the court where the foul is committed carried by a vote of 263 to 148.
Allen Well Pleased
Dr. F. C. Allen, Kansas coach, and one of the sponsors of the experimental games, in an interview yesterday said, "We've really gratified that the fans accepted the game they had not surprised that they did not favor the raising of the basket to the 12-foot height or to compromise on an 11-foot jump." The suggestion is derivative in nature". Dr. Allen also said that the suggestion calling for the throwing of free throws in the end of the game is made is almost certain to be incorporated into the rules next year.
Dr. James A. Naismith, inventor of basketball and professor of physical education, moved the moving of the basket in from the back of the court that it helps to prevent stalling and moves the defense farther up the court. Dr. Naismith does not favor the high belief that there are too few tall players, but he favors a change that will handle all of the players. He believes the change would be a decided disadvantage to the Chi-nerds who are going in for basketball at the naturally short end at they are naturally short. He believes that the bringing of the ball to the circles for hold and jump balls up the
Visiting coaches, officials, and news paper men were almost unanimous their approval of the moving of the goals six feet inside of the end line.
Tiger Coach Likes Changes
George Edwards, basketball coach at the University of Missouri, liked the moving of the baskets in from the end of the court. He believes that the team values for more continuity of play, as well as relieves congeration under the basket.
Vick Trusler, coach at Emporia Teachers, did not like the new system of free throws; however, he did favor the moving in of the basketk. He thought that he would probably be enough. He did not believe it was enough, but he liked the restraining circles around the jumping circles. Frank Root, Aggie coach, believes that the new rules hurt the offensive. He did not believe he could make a basket. He believes that several games would have to be played to determine the effect of the giving of three points for field goals. He liked the introduction of the three-pointers and the restraining rings around them.
Although the game last night is not enough to determine the effect of the high baskets on scoring, the amount of baskets compared favorably with the average score under the present rule. The teams in the Big Six last year averaged 29 points each per game. Had the goals in the game Friday night counted would have been 28-25, an average of 27 points for the two teams. From the basis of this one game it is evident that scoring on the high basket is just as evident as in games with the ten-foot basket. If the scoring last night had been 28-25, a field goal rather than three points, the score at half time would have been 8-12 in favor of the Aggies. The score would have been tied 24-24 at the end of the regular time and the final score would have been 28-26 in favor of Kansas keeping time, that is, the taking out of time each time the ball is thrown up at center, lengthened the playing time four and一半-minute. Under the old method of keeping time the game would have ended 22-15 in favor of the
