in Practice
"With thoughts of the coming semester finals filling a considerable portion of their time, it is doubtful if freshman basketball teams will play off the tournament games originally selected in the season," according to Coach John Bunn.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, JANUARY 17. 1928
As a sequence to last week's training the boys scrimmaged for some three hours Saturday afternoon with such good will that a week of teamwork could be accomplished. In Saturday's playing, the Ark Valley boys again distinguished themselves by showing good form against all groups of opponents who were thrown into the floor and inexperienced. Coach Bunn mixed the grouping to some extent with good results. Roy Klaus especially performed well in his new capacity as coach, which helped him. This new position for him, however, is not necessarily a permanent one.
The boys are still working at tossing free throws, and several new names have appeared in the front ranks of those showing excellence in basketball. Those are William J碘 Nichols, Campbell, and John Bunn himself.
If enough players report tonight, the scheduled game between the Lawrence Midgets and the All Around Five will be played.
"Franklin, the Patriot," Receives Tribute Today
(United Press)
New York, Jan. 17.-Benjamin Franklin's birthday will be celebrated throughout the United States today by a memorial committee. The Memorial Committee can bring it about as the birthday of "Franklin" and its connection to that as but of "Franklin," the patriot.
J. Henry Snythe, Jr., chairman of the memorial committee, feels that the thrift tie-up with Franklin's name has been carried a trifle too far, and the committee is strongly of the opinion that the organization should provide valuable qualities and performed other valuable services which the nation is in some danger of forgetting.
This year, it is recalled, is also the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Alliance with France, which Franklin engineered February 14, 1789. This was young Ben's first venture as a printer. Many groups and organizations, including the printers, have appropriated Franklin as their "patron sinist" and his numerous statues about the nation will be stirred today.
Rowland J, Clark, B. S., '18, is director of analysis and research for the Schulz Hasking company with his colleagues. He just finished his second term as president of the American association of organic organization composed of 500 chemists.

He was a key international Benjamin Franklin Society, whose head is John Clyde Oswald. Special offers have been made by many members to remember Franklin on his birthday.
