Although the balls are "dead" on the soft chat of the courts and the lice are, almost invisible, the courts are filled with students every after
opportunity and as soon as it is advi-
able the courts will be rolled.

Allen Takes Stand for Free Athletic Yearbook Section
Jayhawker Editor Figures Sports Division Cost Tenth of Total Expense
"Football and basketball pay for the minor sports, but they do more than that; they also help defy the expenses of some of the other Hill activities," said Dr. Forrest Allon in an interview, Wednesday, concerning criticism which has been directed at its players' position with regard to paying for the athletic section of the Jayhawk.
"Eighteen per cent, nearly 44,500 from the athletics to the entire prize tickets is given to other active teams," said the U. football game last year were not used, while not more than one hundred ten student tickets were taken up for any event other than athletics in the drama productions.
Athletics Pay Indirectly
*Almethys' pay is directly*
*We are, therefore, naturally being*
*the only person who can occupy the space in the annual. The investment feels that it cannot pay further for the space in the Jayhawker.' *Doctor Allen explained.*
"Our entire program is badged, football and basketball are paying sports, it is true, but the others are not. In baseball alone we expanded more than four thousand dollars, but in basketball this deficit was paid by the more proxessive athletics. So it is in all the less popular sports. Any extra money goes into our extensive program. We could pay for ours in the annual, but that would pose a cutting down on our other projects.
Position Meets Criticism
"Each year criticism has been made of the department on account of its position with regard to the yearbook," he continued. "It is true that we do not pay for our section," he said, "but we have not asked for my pages at all. The general interest in athletics has not increased, voted to our activities. This is not cognition, you understand, but merely the true statement of the facts."
"We must admit that the amount given us is a great help. I will say definitely that it is a wonderful thing. I do not think, however, that we need so many paws. Athletes, I will frankly, may be overworked, or more of my time for them in the annual could be quite really.
"We do take the pictures of the arious squads and the individual pictures of the team members, but that is not how we can do under the circumstances."
Other Schools Have Policy
"No athletic department in the United States, so far as I know, pays for its pages. The athletic boards of all the Missouri Valley schools have conferred on the general policy and have agreed they cannot pay more on the yearbooks," he concluded.
Nearly fifty pages in the annual are reserved for the athletic section. The total cost of these pages, according to Clifford Anderson, editor is approximately $2,000, or one-third of the cost of the entire book.
Editor Gives Views
"While the department of athletics does not pay for anything else, the squad pictures, it does cooperate in these matters for other group pictures," he said.
The yearbook is planned on a lead
basis, according to the editor,
"The fact that the athletics do not
pay for the section tends to stress the
unhealthy impact of the place he
placed on the other organizations."
Anderson said. $
"Athletics are of prime interest to the majority of Jayhawk purchasers, which makes it necessary for us to devote a large section to them."
Editors Declare Impartially
"New Haven, Conn., Feb. 17." The Board of Editors of the Vale Daily News for the coming year took office last week without outlining a platform for the year.
