Basketball Is Not Threatened With the Professional Game Says Dr.James A. Naismith
(United Press)

Professional basketball, will never threaten the amateur game as long as the two organizations continue to use different styles of play, Dr. James A Nissimian, professor of physical education at the University of Kansas and "father" of the games of basketball, will interview with the United Press.
Back in 1981, in Springfield, Mast,
Doctor Nailmith in using two peach bambois
and in a soccer ball, originated the
tennis that has evolved, the modern court contest.
"The professional game is in many ways different from the college game, and for that reason I have no fear that it will ever encourage on the domain of the amateur sport," Doctor Naismith said.
The inventor of the game pointed out that inasmuch as professional basketball is played in a wire cage erected for the conservation of seating space to prevent out of bounds plays, that the players may dribble with either hand and that rules require college rules in a manner of ways, the program will never draw the crowds upon the success of the amateur contest.
"We are as well if not better off without professional basketball," Doctor Nalismith and when asked his opinion of the paid sports team, he said, "We have a technique and lack the qualities of development and participation that make the ama-

Social Pathology Class Takes Kansas City Trip
A group of students in the 11:30 section of Social Pathology made a trip to Kansas City today with Prof. S. A. Queen. They plan to spend the greater part of the day in internships in the various districts of the city.
The study will be made of the prevalence of divorce and desertion and also the various causes for the breaking up of homes. This will be studied by districts to see where there is the most discontent and breaking up of families. The number of children will be noted in the various districts.
This is the first of three trips to be made during the semester.

tear game interesting. Personally would like to see the game strictly; amature throughout the country."
Doctor Nalssith pointed out that professional basketball started but lacked of facilities for amateur play, and believes that in cities where there are professional amateurs "professional ball is better than nothing," in cities like Kansas City, Mo., however, where more than 400 tenure teams are in the field during a season, there is no opening for professional, in the opinion of Doc Nalssith.
"I think it is a fine thing for the game when college players, following graduation, join, strictly amateur clubs," Doctor Naimish said, "but I do not believe the real professional teams will ever draw from the ranks of college players to any great extent."
Professional teams gather their players from semi-pro clubs and usually carry men who have worked up from smaller teams in other leagues, no necessarily former college players, as acceding to the inventor of the game.
Doctor Nismith is quite in accord with basketball rules as they now stand and no quarrel except with the five man defense. This factor in the play is that it allows "anything else substituted that will make for open play," in the opinion of the "father" of the game.
Ohio College Breaks Bashfulness of Sexes
(United Press)
Tiffin, OM, March 2—Buchall college boys and timid co-eds are to be a thing of the past at Heldelberg college.
Mary J. Park, dean of women, has put into operation, a plan to rid the campus of bashfulness and slakness. Every second week, half of the girls dine at the Men's Hall, while half of the girls go to the Girl's Hall for the evening meal.
"The purpose of the arrangement," Dean Park explained, "is to bring students into clear friendship."
Tryouts Will Be March 9
Northwestern-Kansas Debate to Be March 28
A debate team, entirely different from the teams that have taken part in any debate, will be chosen for this year's debate, a contest of varsity debates, to be held March 28.
According to E. C. Bucher, professor in the department of speech and dramatic art, this debate will be an important one in the season because of the relative strength of the debate team of Northwestern University, and its reputation for having one of the strongest debate teams in the country.
The subject to be debated is: Resolved: The prohibition amendment should be repeated immediately. This subject is one that has received no attention at the University for some reason and will be chosen for this debate. For the purpose of selecting a team, tryouts will be held on March 9 in central Administration building. The speeches must be of a constructive argumentation, but they should be lengthy; there will be no rebuttals, but beckoning will be permitted. These speeches must be in the negative.
British Art Gallery Buys
Titian "Holy Trinity"
The picture was first believed to be a copy of the picture of the same title from Madrid. After a cleaning, however, it was found that the London "Holy Trinity" differed in a number of details from the Madrid picture in the picture.
London, March 2.—American art dealers in London were recently beaten by the National Art Gallery in securing the famous Titian "Holy

Several American dealers were prepared to pay large sums for the picture, but the National Gallery secured the first refusal on it and eventually bought it. The price is reported to have been about $20,000.

Londoner Asks Recipes From Alumna Journalist
Miss Ruth E. Hill, graduate of the department of journalism, early inst fall conducted a recipe column for the United States Daily in Washington, D.C. She got her recipes from the department of agriculture.
When congress opened, the recipes were discontinued and she was given other assignments. Last week the editor of the Daily got a letter from London, regretting that the recipes were not being printed, and asking how to make "American hot cakes." The letter was from a man.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Now Miss Hill has the department of agriculture conducting a series of experiments to work out the best possible recipe for hot cakes. If the London lends the cakes, the Daily Promo offers the same recipes their special column at a later date.
