BEGUN BY NAISMITH
Invention of Kansan Has Become Popular Sport in Foreign Countries
Basketball has been adopted as one of the content games at the Eleventh Olympic games at Berlin in 1956. Admission that the committee in charge had made this decision was received today by Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics at the University of Kansas, who is co-chairman of both the National Association of Basketball Coaches, and of the general Basketball Rules committee.
For six years Dr. Alien has been working to have basketball recognized as one of the demonstration games at objeto, a local basketball facility that each recognition for the game at the Los Angeles games. Now word comes that the game has been adopted as a content sport, and Dr. Allen an educator. It is 29 different countries will be entered.
Widely Played Over World
Winter Flower Over World
The game was invented more than 40 years ago by D. Nathaniel, a Nismuth, Ohio graduate in physical education faculty. He was at Springfield, Mass. M.Y.C.A. college at the time, and the M.Y.C.A. secretaries took the game, in their physical education program, to many parts of the world.
Next to tennis and soccer, basketball is said to be the most widely played game in the world. United States, France and Italy played a tournament as part of the A.E.F. games in Paris at the close of the war, and the East Air Olympics, participated in by Japan and the Philippines, featured basketball.
Trains from Japan and from Mexico have toured the United States in recent years.
Team Selected by A.A.U.
Selection of the American team for the Olympics will be made under rules provided by the A.A.U. Dr. Alain said today.
Dr. Taylor Here for Clinic
Sanitorium Superintendent Supervise Tuberculosis Examinations
When Dr. Neismuth came to the University of Kansas more than 35 years ago, he introduced the game here before it was invented. He started also at the University of Iowa.
It has proved a popular game in the Missouri valley, and the Kansas teams have been highly successful in the sport. In the past 27 years, Kansas has won undisputed championship in 15 years and has been co-holder of the championship in two other years. In the five years between 1984 and 1983, 34 Kansas has won championships in successive years. The four years 1988-11 also were Kansas years. Dr. Allen was coach for Kansas 12 of the 17 championship years.
Dr. F. C. T. Taylor, superintendent of the Kansas State Tuberculosis Sanitarium at Norton, arrived yesterday to work with faculty members. The clinic, of which Dr. Taylor has had charge for the past four years, is sponsored by the Douglas County Tuberculosis association. Dr. Taylor will conduct the clinic and all
Under Dr. Taylor's supervision, the x-rays of those who showed a positive diagnosis of cancer were committed as part of the clinical work. The work has not been finished, and it is not known what percentage of the x-ray photographs will need far more training.
Dr. Taylor expressed the hope that clinics somewhat like this one would be established in other parts of the state.

Students Aid Red Cross In Times of Emergency
College Trained Men and Women Fitted for Relief Work
Among the many calls up upon enlisted-ninemen and women is that of volunteer service in the raids of the railroad, where they were kept under temperament, as well as of mind, which

make students and graduates so much more successful in business and in clio or organization, fit them ideally for the emergency and regu-
cal Red Cross chapters, of which there are more than 3,700.
Last your there were 78 disasters in the United States in which the Red Cross gave relief to sufferers. Although each had the benefit of the experience and general direction of trained firefighters, all of the work was performed by local chapters. Quick thinking, organization ability, versatility and endurance are important assets of Red Cross workers and volunteers at such times. Chapter deserts are particularly hard to find and everywhere entail the services for young men and women.
Depression years have seen the utilization of many young women volunteers schooled in home economics. Many chapters invite them to supervise food and nutrition projects and in many instances to conduct research with their students and graduates with a knowledge of social work have found their talents much needed where there is case work to do. Many who have found it difficult to obtain immediate employment at the end of the college year have entered wholeheartedly into production, braille, office, civic home loan and other activities of their home groups.
The Roll Call is from Armistice day to Thanksgiving, Nov. 11 to 29, and supports work of Red Cross chapters in the region. It is a program of national organization.

Rising Sun Party Takes All Offices In Freshman Poll
Inventor of Basketball Is Pleased That Game Will Be Used in Olympics
Yearling's Election Lacks Color and Enthusiasm Shown in Years Previous
The Pachaeama candidates for freshman class offices, headed by Bill Ashle of Lawrence, candidate for president were evept into office by majorities in both districts. The freshman election yesterday. Of 205 votes cast, Ashley received 176 while Bob Stolland, his Grendel-Kayawk opponent, trained with 83. The Fachaeama victory was more decisive than it was by a margin of four votes.
Fritz Huey, Louisville, Kan., Pachacamac candidate for class chairman, polled 171 votes to 86 for John W. Piercey, Lyonna, the Oread-Kayusha contender, Kenneth von Achen, Kansas City, Kan., and Archie Mills, Lawrence, running for dance managers on the Pachacamac ticket, received 163 and 155 votes respectively. The Oread-Kayusha candidates, Charles V. Blair, Andrew Johnson and John Nichols, Tapka, polled 46 and 80 votes respectively.
Although there are considerably more freshman men in school than last year, there were but 20 more votes cast. The School of Engineering and Architecture box contained only 20 ballots. In that school the results ran contrary to the finals, the Ored-Keyahawks capturing the treasurer and one dancer manager, with the count tied for the presidency. In spite of the small number of candidates, the landslide was the most decisive victory in a freedemon election in recent years.
"The wide-spread popularity of the game, I believe, is due to its simplicity, and it can be played by a single acter. Little equipment is required; it can be played outdoors or inside; and it is full of skill, pleasing to the ear and the operator. The ball is in play."
When asked to comment on his party's victory, Lloyd Metzler, b35, president of Pachacamac, made the following statement: "I am convinced that the election was clean and fairly fought by both parties. I am more gratified with the substantial majorities our candidates received, and I am confident in operation of the officers in insuring representative student government."
The election yesterday was a quiet one as compared with the freshman elections of former years. There was little of the campaigning and election-crowd in the fall, but the client to past elections, and the majority of the students seemed unaware that an election was in progress. The decision of party leaders to refrain from the publication of bulletin took effect on October 16, 2015, related with elections in recent years.
The voting in the morning was very slow with less than 100 ballots cast by 1 p.m. Party workers were buy in the afternoon bringing in the voters to carry them. Several cars were used by the campaigners to haul the voters to the polls.
"I a naturally greatly pleased to learn that basketball—the game I invented 42 years ago—has been approved as one of the contest sports of the nation," James Naismith said this afternoon. "This is recognition of the international character of the game, which I believe in now." He adds that any other game except soccer.

time an individual player can practice,
and perfect himself in the essential part of the game—the tossing of the ball into 'the basket.
"The game was designed to give the tall, slim player the chance he was denied in the heavier games of baseball and football. This very factor may make it necessary to introduce some handicap handbook for international tournament.
"In the same way that wrestlers and boxers are divided into classes by weight, so it may be necessary to dis-arm them. So the diminutive Meji team from Japan played the tall men of Washburn here a few years ago, the visitors didn't have a chance. The Washburn boys could be higher than the Meji men couldump."

Team Is in Shape After Scrimmage Against Gonzaga
Lindsey to Take 26 Men to St. Louis; McCall and Harris Out of line-up
By a neatly arranged maneuver on the part of Coach Mike Pecavichov of Gonzaga, Ad Lindsey's Jayhawkers got in a dummy scrimmage workout you never saw in college, and the team which employes the same style of play as the Washington Bears, when Kansas will play tomorrow afternoon in St. Louis. The clever and powerful Gonzaga team is to be Watson college in Topaoka tonight, and the Gonzaga coaches desired to get an out-of-town practice for a thorough review of plays without the crowd of uninvited spectators who had percussion gathered at the practice in Topaoka.
Both teams spent most of the practice trying out their passing plays and pass defense. The "Bulldogs" sprung up to be one of the most proficient formations of the Notre Dame system which Coach Pecorovich uses. Several of the Gomgas passes took the Kansas defence entirely unawares, and a couple of them completed in a game. In the Builddog backfield was a well-inbalanced and versatile quartet of more-than-average weight for a backfield. The line was much shorter than the Jayhawk forward wall.
Wells and Seigle Play at Ends
Wells and Segre Ray at kins Kansas looked rather slow against the speed westermens, but the Jay-hausen led with several long passes, most of them George Hoggood. The bushfield that Lindsey sent into the drill fitted Haggood at quarter, Mano Stukey and Kenneth Kall at halves, and John Peterson back at fullback after a three week's layoff due to a delicately clobed. In the Kansas line were Dick Wells and Chris McNally in Clawson and Dees filling in the tackle gaps, "Toy" Moore and Dick Sklar at guards, and Ed Phaeus at center.
From all indications, St. Louis is expecting to see Washington on the long end of the score for the first time in the history of competition between the schools. The St. Louis fans have been enthusiastic since this fall than ever before, and a large crowd is expected to be in the stands for the opening kickoff. Homecoming day at Washington Uni-versity is on Friday, with additional fans and alumni to the contact.
Couch Ad Lindsey will take 28 men to St. Louis to meet the Washington team, and he will take Lawrence at 7:35 on the Rock Island, will transfer to the Missouri Pocetie at Kansas City, and arrive at the Tower station street. St. Louis, at 7:63, Sat.
