Kappa Sigma Leads Acacia In Track Meet At Stadium
Dunning, a Freshman, Looks Well in Hurdles; More Material Wanted by Schlademan
The events for tomorrow are:
16-pound shot
880-yard run
High jump
The Kappa Sigmas have passed the Acacias in the inter-organization track meet and are now leading the field by 601 points. The standing group of 545 acacias (298, Delta Kappa Sigs, 3519, Acacia, 2984, Delta Upsilien, 2181, and Acromas, 2190.
The showing in the high hurdles was good, considering the muddy track. Dunning, a freshman won the race in 16-2-5 seconds with Graham a close second. Norton and Kellet followed closely. Coach Schalidhain is looking for new hurdle material. Graham has displayed good form and speed laterly and it is possible that he will run the high hurdles in as good a form as Bradley did, by the time the outdoor season opens this spring.
Norton will be so bury with other events that he will not be available for the hurdles, if other men can be found. Coach Schidman needn't make him have ever done anything in the hurdles, important to the variety immediately.
Dash Closely Contested
**Closely Contestant**
The team won the four heats, four used time for first. Fisher won the first hapt, Bradley and Dillenbett tied in the second, and Miller, a freshman, won the third heat.* The time, 5-4-5 seconds. This is very fast, says Coach Schademan. Norton and Graham showed up well in this dash, but Miller came out with the amount of dash material on hand. In the two-mile run, the members of the cross-country队 ran away from the field. Wilson finished first in 10 minutes 27 seconds, followed closely by Schaub and Pratt. Schaub pushed near the last line the cross-country captain was able to keep his lead.
More Distance Men Wanted
"The need for more distance men is imperative," said Coach Schiebdman. "We have several good men, but a distance man can enter only one event, and we need at least three good men each in the two-mile, mile, and half-mile runs. If there are any men in school who would like to show what they can do in these events, should report to me at once."

Kansas Basketers Will Practice Behind Gym's Closed Doors
Students May Attend Practice Twice a Week Says Allen Today
Practice behind closed doors all but two afternoon a week will be in the curriculum of the Kansas basketball squad for the time remaining before the Jayhawks' first free throw game with Nebraska on January 5.
"I want it understood," said Dr. F. C. Allen, coach, this morning; "that I am not forbidding the students from watching the team's formations and plays on the court That isn't' the idea at all. But what we do need is comparative quiet and freedom from interruption during the brief time we have to practice before the first game of the season.
"When spectators are allowed to come on the floor at any time and to sit on the side-lines, it confuses the direction and criticise properly."
The doors will be locked to every one except those candidates for basketball who appear for practice or doctor. Terry Allen said that so much more can be accomplished under such conditions that results of the daily practices will not be long in forthcoming.
Two afternoons next week will probably be allotted to those students who want to see the varsity squad in action. These days will be definitely announced in the Kansan later. The varsity team will start their scrapimage against the varsity team. The yearlings' representatives on the court have been eliminated from time to time, and the present squat numbers something different. This number will probably be whitited to about sixteen in a few days.
Doctor Allen has starred giving his "chalk talks" to the varsity team in which he explains plays and reasons for them. Later, he said, he would begin working out new plays and strategic moves on the court in preparation for a good season on the court.
Misfortune of Varsity Player Gave Naismith His Big Chance Says Writer in "American Boy"
Once upon a time, about forty years ago, a center on the McGill University football team had a bit of hard luck during scrimmage one afternoon and was taken out of the play. His misfortune was the starting point of an unusual career in athletics; the career of another man who has done much for the University of Kansas and the athletic world in general.
Dr. James Naismith, director of physical education at K. U., then an undergraduate at McGill, was standing on the sidelines at the time the varsity team was taken out of play, so he got a chance to game from the players point of view but he had been absorbing every play with a feverish interest. A call was made for a substitute to take the center's place. Without further added the young man on the sidelines threw and rushed **to** play. He made good.
A life in the open of the Canadian frontier had given him a powerful and well knit body. The ice was broken' and that first scrimmage lead to other adventures in athletics, all with the same high degree of success following them. Track team work was taken up after the football season, and we trained young Nalismith devised a method of pulling which made the McGill队 invincible for four successful track seasons.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
To find the way in which he might be of the greatest service to his fellow men was Mr. Naismith's goal during college. The ministry was decided upon as the best means so after completing the college courses he enrolled in the theological seminary which was a branch of the McGill institution. But the call, and lure of athletics proved to be very strong.
"One can preach through athletics as well as from the pulpit," he thought. Then, upon finishing the seminary work he went to the International Y. M. C. A. College at Springfield, Mass., in order that he might
be better fitted for the work of an athletic director. During his study at the latter institution he was impressed by the lack of an indoor sport which would provide the same contest and participation as football.
While working with a class of secretaries, Mr. Naimish nitted basketball. At the outset there were eight men (the number in the class) on each side but the crowded quarters necessitated a reduction to the pre-season game. The football could not be used because of the place of playing and other reasons. Tackling, running with ball, holding and interference were done away with. And by elevating the baskets so as to make the players throw parabolas in order to score a premium was in the opponent's skill than is required in football.
The extraordinary ability of Dr. Naismith has been expressed not only in his athletic work but in his studies as well. He completed the four year high school course in two years and while attending McGill University he took all the prizes offered in the Hebrew courses.
The efforts for education were not ended with the term at Springfield. Mr. Nai Smith went from Springfield to Denver where he studied medicine and was graduated in 1898. Following that he became physical director at the University of Kansas. In spite of the great amount of work his office demanded of him he soon organized a basketball team. The good work is reflected down through the series of the 384 games K. U, has played, 249 have been won, making a percentage of .643. In 1905 he obtained the crection, by the state, of the $100,000.00 gyznamusium.
