He decision is pending other steps with Kansas City air transport companies.
While each a trip would not be the first of its kind it is probable that it would at least establish a long distance record for length of flight of Winston Salem, Winnipeg to St. John's quintet flies to Hays, Kent for a game last week.
The proposed trip is being considered from the air point of view because of the back of time between the encounter with Noten and Oman, and the games with California Jam, 3, 4, 5.

Reed Addresses Y. M. C. A. Forum at Noon Meeting
Candidate Discusses Issues of Campaign, Laying Great Stress on Taxation
Cicled Rhee, Republician candidate for governor of Kansas, spoke today at the moon luncheon forum of the Y. M. C. A., in Miyah's hall. His subtitle was "Making Kansas a Peaceful Place." Lorey Plimuth, president of the Y. M. C. A., first introduced J. Bond, candidate for state senator and former student of K. U., who said a few words concerning his relation with the governor. Plimuth she was the produced Mr. Reed.
Mr. Reed began his speech by assuring the listeners that regardless of their political preference, he would not offer anyone's ideas. He explained that it was not his policy nor his party to advocate mid-slinging.
"What Is Government?"
The speaker asked the question, "What Is Government?" The function of government, he explained, is to do for all of us what the individual can not do. It is only by introducing political parties into the government of a country that the needs of a country are found and remedied. Mr. added.
Politicians can be divided into two classes, according to Mr. Reed, those who deal in party policies alone with the principal idea of running down the other party, and those whose idea is to help the general welfare. The speaker was the one which he enthusiastically favored, and should be the prime function of government. At this point he gave a very brief government which he very tittle but nevertheless true: A politician should strive to do the greatest good to the greatest number.
Immoderate Taxation of Kansas
Immoderate Taxation of Kansas In discussing the issues of the campaign he especially emphasized farm relief as concerning every person in the United States. Agriculture since the war was concerned, and he said, and he was especially forceful in announcing that the Republican party intended to equalize the income in each great branch of industry.
Kansas has the most immeade-
rational妒 of any state, adding that the policy of the Republican party is to reproportion the burden of taxes in this state according to income and ability of the people to pay, since the duty of government is to preserve an even scale of taxation.

Mr. Reed will talk this evening a b'clock in the Orpheum theatre.
The points which I have mentioned, Mr. Reed said, have not been perhaps very interesting and spectacular, but they are problems which should concern every college student and therefore should be given serious thought. The remainder of the meeting was given over to an open forum, in which the speaker explained different questions concerning his talk.

Interview With Dr. Naismith Presents Ideas on Changes in Basketball in Past Years
Five years ago the journal carried an article dealing with Doctor Naif's mistuit and his invention of basketball.
The November issue of the Signa Phi Epsilon Journal will contain a one of its features an article on Dr James Naismith, the father of baseball and a member of the faculty in the University.
Doctor Naitomith invented the game of basketball during the early winter months of 1891. At that time he was a member of the faculty at the International Y. M. C. A. training school at Springfield, Mass. Begins of the imperative need of some form of recreation to fill the gap between the football and baseball seasons is decided to find an interesting competitive indoor sport for the youngest age, which is the game of basketball. Although the game is only 37 years old, it is one of the most popular games in America and has spread to every civilized country in the world.
The article deals with the game as it has been developed since Doctor Nanimuth invented it. Every year we have new rules and new changes in basketball. This season the barrier is going to be placed on the dribler.
"It is the dribbler's fault if he runs into a defensive player, so in case a foil is called because of such contact, the dribbler will be held responsible."
"To my notion this is a good thing," he continued, "as it tends to eliminate his violation of the fundamental principle of basketball, which is to deliver the ball whenever you can, thus making progress."
Doctor Nathan mith states that when he game was started a great number layed on each side. When baskets were thrown the numbers came from 20 to 30 on each sam but the increased number of gymnasts has made it possible to uk down the number of players on each side. A large number age number a take part in the game.
Doctor Naismith is quoted in the rôle as saying that he dislikes the men war machine and is glad that it is being eliminated. He says that to imit it is disharmonising to see a team be afraid of others so that you believe that a team should try to make a goal whenever it gets a chance.
Doctor Naismith is one of the greatest authorities on basketball. He organized the first team at the University of Kansas in 1896, and according to him three-fourths of that team were his students. In 1900 Doctor Naismith has been a professor of physical education in the university.
