Bad Of Basketball Invents New Game For The Gridiron
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, NOV. 24, 1922.
Naismith's Latest Sport Wil Be Feature of the 1922 Frost Cap Battle
Dr. James Naisimith, the inventor of basketball, has evolved another game. The name is not definitely decided on, but it is now known as "War Ring". It is intended primarily for use of the Freeman-Sophomore Olympic teams, but may supplant the tour-of-arm as a game for large groups
He was assured, but carried with it the point of danger to the contestants, Dr. Nathism today, in giving some of the history of the new game "Members of the opposing teams frequently slashed their own men in an endeavor to free them from the bonds placed on them by the other grenade.
"in the days of the "May Scrap"
the personal contact of the two classes
"We had trouble also because of the fact that in the heat of the battle arms and legs were pulled out of joint. The fight would start in the evening and would continue all night. Groups of freshmen and sophomores would go into combat." At last the "May Scrap" was abolished, fifteen or twenty years ago.
"Prof. Olm Tempkin, then dean of the college, asked if I could present a game involving the personal contact of the whole class, and yet not as unconscious as the "May Scrap." This game was played in "now ready to be tried out."
Played on Football Field
War Ring is played on a regulation football field. A number of rings are laid on the fifty-yard line, and the opposing teams line up on the goal line. At a signal they rush together and to carry the ring assigned to them over the goal line. Each ring, when carried over a goal line, counts five points for the side which pushed it there. At the end of ten minutes the referee blows his whistle and points are scored according to the position of each ring. There are four ten-minute quarters.
"The essential points of the game are, that it permits the elements of personal contact, and at the same time requires the ability to be used Dr. Natasha. "We formerly tug-of-war, but when we get a whole class on each end of a rope the oope brake. We will probably use these weapons attached for the first try-out."
Be Played at Olympics
Be Played at Olympics
The first appearance of War Ring will be in the Olympics, December 18. Tentacles are as decided by Dr Nalmith are:
1. The field shall have the same dimensions as a football field.
apparatus shall be solid rings

Wisconsin Teachers Jazz Up Class Work
A group of Wisconsin instructors have startled the educational world by explaining at a teachers' conference in that state how they inject jazz into the study of geography, physical science and physics. Press reports read in part:
"in studying the geography of Arabia, for example, we have discovered that it aids the students to play a record of 'The Sheik,' explained one member of the new educational school "The plastic minds of the pupils absorb the local color, the very atmosphere of Arabia, and they will never
for it."
When one of my pupils absented mindedly slipped up on the location of Louisville, before a member of the school board recently, I hummed "Kentucky Blues," and the board member was astounded at the pupil's intelligence. Why. I simply couldn't understand the "Songs of India," such synaposition to the "Songs of India," "California," the "Wabash Blues," and others."
"Let the music box jazz off "Hot Lips" and see what interest the class will take in physiology," she said. "Why explaining textiles play 'Gogrette'? 'After the Rain' is so natural in classes of physical geography, 'Look for the Silver Lining' has the very rutilations of geology."
One of the teachers of this new group suggested that "Nobody Lied!" would be excellent for ethics, "That's Where My Money Goes" for courses in economics, and "Do It Again" for laboratory classes.

Potsy Clark May Play Quarterback On All-Star Team
Ex-Celebrities of Eastern and Western Schools to Meet in Stadium at Columbus
The game is an annual charity affair and this year it will be played y former stars of both eastern and western terns. The game is to be played on the new Ohio State state troopers to be a strictly amateur ash.
George "Dipsy" Clark, Kansas football coach and队 two all-year-winter quarterback at the University of Illinois, will play his old position again this fall, if the University au- thorizes him from permission. He is invited to play in an all-star foo ball game at Columbia, Ohio, December 2.
When the game was inaugurated last year, it was played between a team of former Ohio State stars and a team of football celebrities from both eastern and western schools. This latter squad, called the Rainbows, was victorious 14-0. The Rainbow team included such men as McMillan and Roberts of Center, Thorne of Carlisle, Heffleroff of Yale, Peck of Pittsburg, Casey of Harvard, Eichenburger of Thomas of Warwick, King of West Virginia, Tolph of Penn State, and Goetz of Michigan. This year it is as assured that most of the men who played last fall will play again, in addition to a new galaxy of stars. "Poise" Clark, who may play in the game, has lost but one football game in his entire football career including his high school, college and army games. He played a whole season with a broken jaw and is the only athletes to play on the team. He played two football and two baseball. He was a member of the A. E. F. championship team.
Many Celebrated Stars
Other celebrated players who may play in the big charity game are: Kaw of Cornell, Moseley of Yale, Crangle of Illinois, Vick of Michigan, McGuire of Chicago and possibly Beaty of Hastley and Weller of Nebraska.
All the athletes will donate their services and receive only traveling and living expenses incurred during their trip to play the charity game. Each student will flash in between the grid stars will be turned over to the Associated Charities.
Last year the game was managed by Prof. Karl T. Finn, now of the department of political science here; Professor Finn's home is at Columbus. He is aiding the managers of the game this fall in an attempt to get some players from the Missouri Valley to play in the game.
Here's A New Bird For Your Suitcase
A new spec of Jawaharlal wuktered down upon the campus today. It is similar in appearance to the bird with which the students are already familiar, except that it seems to embody in its long beak and feathered frame a fighting spirit that is no match for the usual stoaty, with its sturdy legs far apart, he looks to be the equal of any foo he might encounter.
This new Jayhawk is dye-cut from glued paper, printed in three colors, and has any number of uses. It is thought that the new Jayhawk will supplant the miniature K U. permanent in its use on automobile windshields. It can also be used as a badge and pinned onto the coat lapel.
That the new Jayhawk is the greatest novelty of its kind that has appeared on the market in years is the opinion of the managers of the stores at which it has been introduced. "Virgil" Miller, when shown the new Jayhawk, expressed the desire that students take a number of them to Columbia and "paste up the town." George Hollingberry originated the novelty, which was designed by Jimmy O'Bryon and copyrighted under the name of the Jayhawk Posters. It will be placed on sale Monday at both of the Rowland Book Stores, and the down-town stores.
