UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14. 1922
Murphy and Eustace took best with the crowd which applauded at both and demanded encoura from them.
Amutators Give Exhibition Hours
Abelia and Stoklas, two 115-pounders, boxed three two-minute rounds of steel in the only arena open for the event.
Merrill and Montgomery, in the 155 class class, coached each other about for two rounds, the first going through a series of successes and the second was a draw.
Professionals Receive Applause
Murphy, three times national amateur champion of the light weights, then crawled through the ropes. The crowd cheered. For three two-minute periods the two men put on a good show for the boys, Helfon finally drawing a closed right eye as his share. Helfon looked groggy at the end of the second, but he was game and exchanged well with his opponent at the end of the second. The press table gave the last two rounds to Murphy, the first being a draw on the other's aggressiveness.
Boxing, A Gentleman's Profession Marshy said, following the exhibition, "The boxing game has changed and Corbett was one who was instructed in making it a gentleman's profession.
"I am glad to see colleges and universities taking up the sport, Boxing gives a man confidence in himself best of all, boxing and cigarette-taking do not go together at all," Johnny Staferford and the Walt boy, coaching in at 115 pounds, proclaimed, "a premature paper that would only positively christened the mat." Although Staferford secured all-skills, half-Nationals and other roles in quick succession, Wyatt criggled house and no fall took place, however, Staferford got the press decision on aggressiveness.
Sparrowhawk, a K. U. pupil of weating, in at 145 pounds, vowed his instructor a good light, though the older man had the anger under his complete control 1 of the time.

University To Ask State For Bigger Budget Next Year
Increase is 12 per cent; Less Money Will be Requested For Buildings
Less for buildings, but increases in other items aggregating a little less than 12 per cent, in face of a prospective student increase of 14.2 per cent, will be asked of the forthcoming session of the Kansas legislature by the University of Kansas, according to a special story in the current issue of the Graduate Magazine. The budget requirements total $1,993,574 a year, as compared with $1,785,500 for the current year.
The building program offered as the minimum of the University's needs includes the second unit of the new hospital at Kansas City, Kans., to cost $400,000, an auditorium on the campus, to cost $300,000, and a new science building, to replace Snow Hall, first condemned ten years ago, and now pronounced unsafe, also to cost $200,000. The grammar would be spread over four years, and is two-thirds as large as the appropriations of two years ago.
Ask for Auditorium
The auditorium is asked in view of the growth of the student body in a number fully twice the capacity of the gymnasium hall.
The largest increase is for salaries, accounting to $282,751 from $780,000 of the present year. However, almost one-half of this increase is needed for expansion of faculty to meet the projected demand. For the past ten years, the enrollment has increased an average of 14.2 per cent each biennium, and for the past biemium the gain was 16.9 per cent. Increased buildings will make some additions to salaries and this year's salaries have been increased in proportion to capital impatience by use of $5,000 of fees left over last year.
Salaries at the University of Kansas are 27 per cent below the average of seven universities of neighboring states, but the request is for $814,500 for urgent salary increases or 9.12 per cent.

Few Enter Free Throwing
Allen Says Lack of Interest Shows Weakness
Waldo Bowen leadw with 550 attempts and 390 baskets. Others in the context are Endcott, 550 and 556; Ackerman, 250 and 185; Seamon, 250 and 151; Hitt, 100 and 42; Engl, 400 and 121.
The basketball free throw contest which was scheduled to end December 15 will probably be prolonged until February 15 because of the small number of entrants and throws so far, according to Dr. F. C. Allen. At least fifteen men are required to make all of the one thousand attempts in order to make the contest valid, but to date only six men have entered and the largest number of throws is 550.
In commenting on the results of the contest, Dr. F. C. Allen said, "The lack of interest shows a weakness in fundamentals. A man would rather play in a game than get out and practice throwing in the presence of hismates. Some means will have to be devised to get more interested, as the Kansas squid needs, above all, a good free throw."
Due to the controversy, over the clauses in the present constitution it was felt that another constitution should be drawn up and the students should be viewed on vip at a convention to be hold some time after the holidays.
Honor System Adopted By Laws at Convocat
The Honor System was almost unanimously voted to be adopted by the School of Law, at a student convocation held this morning to consider the handling the situation arising from students using unfair means of getting their work. A disagreement arose on questions relating to the removal of honor to the council and the selection of the committee for handling the cases arising from the installation of the honor system.

Alumni Are Pleased With Radio Program Broadcast From Hil
Letters and Telegrams From Grads Pour in From All Settings
Sections
The radio program Monday night aroused a great deal of enthusiasm among alumni and former K. U. students from all parts of the country, Letters and telegraphs are still being received not only from towns in the middle west, but also from Chicago and Texas. Many of them desire that more such programs be given, because it arouses the old K. U. spirit among alumni. At the University, Some think it will be a great factor in stimulating more interest in K. U. and will therefore bring more students here.
Some of the Kansas towns that have expressed their enthusiasm are Altoona, Hays, Winteld, Jola, Hispaniola, Mount Vernon, Valley Falls, and Valley Falls, Calif.
The alumni association at Hey hold a meeting to hear the program and now ask that they be given something specific to do which will arrows a handle. University Humboldt they desire some means of helping the county club
At Chicago K. L. Paucher expresses enthusiasm with the words, "Let's repeat." Alumni at Pawnbake, Olahma, say it was a great success while two students at Vona, Colorado ask for more. In Amuunla, Texas R. A. Rutledge said he could hear it distinctly. A banquet with sixty K. U. alumni also enjoyed the program at Junction City.
At the Philadelphia tennis conferences hold recently, a movement was started to abolish the word "love" from the score sheet of the game. It is whispered that the persistent use of "love" has given the impression to outsiders that tennis is an offe-mate or "slimy" game, where, in fact, it is a battle and emblem of her men as well as for stalwart women.
May Abolish "Love"
From Tennis Score
If love can be taken out of business, it should be taken out of tennis. It doesn't mean anything whatsoever—that is in tennis. It is unusual that the abbreving "love" should start in Philadelphia, the city of Brotherly Love.

"Robin Hood" is Reginald DeKoven's composition and chances are that more English speaking people know its songs, its rolling fun and beautiful spenes, better than any other musical work.
It reveals some of the pretty escapes of that merry bandit and outlaw. It takes one back to the days when the Sherwon Forests of England were full of joly bandits, who robbed only the rich, and between their escapades sang, danced and drank "Brown October Ale."
There is the chorus of young ladies and gentlemen with the show.
