HAWKERS AND TIGERS How England Lost all Rights
TIE FOR FIRST PLACE Titles And Privileges To The Honor of Discovering Neptune
Teams Battled Evenly in First Part but Later Gained Their Stride
TITLE PLAY-OFF IN DOUBT
Official Circles Think Game Un advisable on Account of Valley Rules
The Missouri Valley basketball season is finished as far as the Kansas team is concerned. The Jayhawk team five completed their schedule last evening with a 41 to 18 victory over the Nebraska Cornhousers giving the Allenites a percentage of .938 with fifteen games won and a lone black mark in the lost column. This leaves Kansas and Missouri as the Tigers place in the Valley row as the Tigers also finish the schedule last night over the Aggies, giving Conch Ruby's men the same percentage, as the Kansas five.
NUMBER 107.
During the first part of the initial period the two teams battled evenly and Nebraska even looked dangerous at times. At the end of the first eleven minutes each team had scored but one goal from field although the Jayhawkers were leading 5 to 3 due to the three liberty tots by Capital Body. Time after time during the first half the Jayhawkers tossed the hoop only to have it jump out of the heap after it looked like a sure goal. At the end of the first period the Lawrence men were leading 16 to 8.
With the start of the final period the Kansas cagers hit their stride and left the Cornhuskers far in the rear. Coach Frank substituted frequently, trying out various combinations in his effort to stem the tide of battle but his encavers were futile ever, despite the once excellent score the game gave them, until the latter gate of the final half the Cornhuskers were never safely beaten.
Endacott's work at guard was the feature of the game. The sturdy Kansas gun broke up play after play and in addition made six field goals for a total of 12 points. Practically every goal which "Endup" was made caged from a difficult angle along the side of the court and several shots brought the crowd to their feet with applause. Captain Rody maintained his lead in the valley as high point man with three field goals and nine charity shots out of nine yards. Lorenzo Lowe had him great defensive game and broke up shot after shot before it reached the Kansas secondary defense.

There is some speculation over the Hill concerning a title play-off between Kansas and Missouri but the main interest in the game is being bellow of Kansas-Missouri game is raising even greater interest and speculation than the National A. A U. tournament now in progress at Convention Hall. Nothing has been done by either school regarding a play off and it is thought in official college dress due to the fact that the Valley conference does not recognize such a thing as a championship.

"Sandy" a Visitor Here
Carl "Sandy" Winors, L'22, was visiting on the Hill Monday. He has been ill with appendicitis at his home in Atchison for the past month, but is planning to take up his work in the law school again next quarter.
The mid-week date rule will be off for the Carli Sandburg lecture-recital Tuesday night. —Dorothy Stanley, president W. S. G.A.
...
That it is often the little things that mean the most, and that we should consider the advice and aid of other people, even if they are insignificant, is well illustrated by the following story which Professor Alter, K. U, astronomer, tells.
"Back in 1845 all of the astronomers were perplexed as to what was causing variations, known as perturbations, in the orbit of the planet Uranus. By this time the position of the planet as compared with its computed position was so far off that some astronomers were led to doubt the theory of a gravitational attraction but explained only in one way, and that that was that there was an unknown body whose attraction upon Uranus caused the deviation. To compute the orbit of the unknown body was such a task, that the Astronomer Royal of England said it couldn't be done. There were two young astronomers who, however, fired by the zeal of youth, undertook the effort to find great mathematical achievements in astronomy.
The two astronomers were both impartially unknown at that time; he was a man named Adams of En-

El Ateneo to Affiliate With National Society
At a meeting last Thursday, E Ateneo, the University Spanish organization, voted unanimously to become inculcated with El Instituto de las Espanas, a Spanish society of national note.
El Instituto de las Espanas has only of late decided to branch out and to include in its membership Spanish societies as well as professors of Spanish. This will be the first national organization of Spanish societies. The purpose of the club is to further the study of Spanish and enlighten understanding of Spanish culture and literature in American universities.
The following program will be rendered at Professor Skilton's first Lenten organ recital at Fraser Hall (130-190). The public is invited to attend.

gland, and the other a Frenchman called Leverrier. Both men finished the computation the following year, Adams finishing first. He immediately gave his results to George Airy, then the Astronomer Royal of England on the planet in the sky but Airy took no note of it and postponed the observation. When Leverrier finished his computation, he sent his results to Galileo, then an assistant astronomer on the observatory of Paris. Immediately Galileo pointed his telescope at the part of the sky that planet was visible from Earth, we wished with the brightness of a star of the ninth magnitude.

"Who should be called the discoverer of the Planet? Adams, because he finished his computation first, but because of the neglect of the Astronomer Royal, failed to be rightfully called the discoverer of the planet, or Leverhout, who was wrong in whose works the planet was found?" Hot words resulted of the controversy, and it was finally decided to call it a joint discovery. Thus
England last the undisputed right to claim the honor of having discovered Neptune, the most distant of the planets of our solar system.
The Rev. E. A. Edwards spoke Sun day afternoon, at the Episcopal Church, on the subject, "If L Were 21." "In the first place, the young man should get to work," said Rev Edwards. "Then he should learn the job just ahead. Third the young man should learn how to take care of his body and to relax both mind and body. We would be more progressive if we were more original in our thinking," continued Mr. Edwards.
Special Service Held For University Students
"If a man will fix standards of thought and conduct while he is young his life will be greatly enriched. If a woman will not, he will be tired. The struggles of life should bud husband and wife closer together. There are several qualifications which a good wife should have; she should be knowledgeable, auspicious, and should have common sense."
A GOLD BRICK SOLD AGAIN
Missourian Exchanges Bank Account for Alloy
That there are still some gullible persons in the world is shown by the fact that confidence men are still able to exchange "gold bricks" for real
It is understood that the history of this particular brick shows that a certain gentleman from Missouri failed to live up to the tradition of his state in that he failed to be "shown" before he made his purchase. He who bought is now wiser, but is minus a portion of his bank account.
The chief-of-police of Kansas City recently sent the metallurgical department Kansas University a sample of of a gold brick $t_2$ be assayed. The specimen appears to be a cleverly made alloy, mostly of copper, having on casual inspection, the appearance of an iridescent sheen of the department however, has shown that it contains little or no gold, and its value is negligible.
Moore was a member of the department of journalism while in the University, and a member of the Kauana Board. His previous experience, according to the Topeka Daily Capital, includes work on the daily newspapers and promotion and publicity work for the Empire Gas and Fuel Co.

Second Fatality in Deporable Auto Acident Which Occurred Eight Days Ago
WAS A FORMER "K" MAN
On Basketball and Basebal Teams Before the War— Burial at Nickerson
Captain Leon Draper Gibbens died at 10:16 o'clock Monday night at Lawrence Memorial Hospital of this city. His was the second fatality in the accipiter incident, which occurred in which Dan Harrison, JE, lost his life. Gibbons' death came as a result of bronchial pneumonia setting in Saturday, which, with the critical injuries from which he was already made it impossible for him to recover.
He remained in this semi-consolese state until Saturday when brombemia pneumonia developed, bringing on the relapse from which he never recover.
Immediately following the accident at Eudora, Gibbens and Harrison were rushed to the Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Harrison dying just after the hospital was reached. Gibbens was put under the care of two special nurses and consulting specialists, besides the local physicians in attendance. He remained conscious until noon of the day following the accident. Complications setting in from cranial injuries and fractures of the skull resulted in a fatal stuper from which he only once partially recovered. This was Thursday evening when, after having a high fever, he showed an improvement and was able to recognize members of the family at the bedside.
Gibbs entered the University in the fall of '14 and played on the basketball teams of 16 and 17 as forward. He was high-point man of the season, averaging 23 points on the K. U. nine that tied for the championship in 1917. Before coming to the University he was a member of the Reno County basketball team, state high school champions of the State Fair, and all the athletics here, being a four-letter man.
During the war, Gibbens was commissioned a second bientian in the infantry and in 1919 was sent to China for duty. He was promoted to the rank of captain in the regular army there and was given leave of absence in the fall of '21 to complete his course in the University of Kansas. He enrolled in the School of Engineering and did not try out for the basketball squad, since he desired a job on the team as his academic work. He had expressed his intention of going out for baseball, and had been issued a suit. Captain Gibbens would have been twenty-seven March 11.
Funeral arrangements have not been definitely decided upon, but the funeral will be held at Nickerson, Kan, his home, either Wednesday or Thursday. The R. O. T. C. gave honor morning before the body was shipped to Nickerson. Captain Gibbs was a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity.
Topeks, March 7 - Topeka laboring men—including ribbon counter clerks and locomotive freemen—were on record today denouming Nell Bell Bürger's 887 budget for working girls, and demanded that the Kansas girls be given a wage sufficient to wear silk stockings instead of 25c cotton ones.

Horseshoe Pitching is Coming Back As A National Pastime In the Realms of Mount Oread
An old, old pastime, once inadulged in by old men with nothing better to do than hang around the town store or livery stable, is now becoming one of the chief competitive sports that it will become one of the great national sports. Little did these men think that their grandchildren and greatest-grandchild would ever "pitch horseshoe" at a University. This game of horseshoes strikes the fraternity jump at every spring in form of an epidemic even worse than that of playing bridge.
To find horseshoes in this day and age is a very difficult problem, but according to Joe Turner, the Pi Lu have hit upon the very novel scheme of having their made to order, for in this way they are always sure of hav-ness to just right and then, too, they do it without them so dirty as those swiped from the superstitious "brothers," who have gathered them for good luck.
A great deal of complaint is heard from the housemothers about horseshoe season, because the boys cannot be dragged away from this fascinating game to come to their meals on time, thus causing much dissatisfaction among the waiters in the kitchen.
K. U. Professor Visits Thriving Kansas Towns
Charles M. Fassett will address the Chamber of Commerce of Jackson County at Holton this evening on the subject's of leadership. Tomorrow Mr. Fassett will speak on "Community Leadership" and the Chamber of Commerce banquet in Russell.

"The most interesting thing I have noticed about Kunas is the large number of well paved, well kept, well maintained small towns," said Mr. Fassett.
SAYS COURT IS A SUCCESS
Professor Feis Tells About Industrial Court
"If the Kansas Court of Industrial Relations stays in existence, it will have to realize much more thoroughly than it has, what conditions it must meet before it can hope for the permanent and united support of the people," predicts Prof. Herbert Feis II. In addition, he says, the University, in an article, "Kansas Miners and the Kansas Court," published in a recent issue of the Survey. Professor Feis in this article give a review of the origin of the court, its purpose and its accomplishments. As to the work the court has done, he believes it has been a success as well as a failure; that it has been in existence too long a period for definite judgment to be passed upon it.
As to the accomplishment of the court Professor Feis says, "The court's opportunities to meet these conditions have not been very great. It can claim to have made a creditable settlement under difficult circumstances."
In defense of the court, however, he calls attention to the fact that "the record is not positive or extensive enough to warrant the conclusion that they are impossible of obtaining," still deserves support for the hope that industrial peace based on reason, which it still holds out."
Tornado Kills Nine and Wrecks Property in Eas
Alken, S. C., March 7—Nine persons were reported to have been killed by a tornado, which struck Langley and Warrenville, S. C., two small cotton mill towns near here, today.

It is rumored that preparations are being made for a big horseshoe pitching tournament as soon as the snow melts.
Altho these old men probably that they were the inventors of the game it really originated from the ancient Greeks' famous sport of throwing the Pitched horseshoes was at one time popular among kings and nables, but was prohibited during the reigns of Edward the Third and Richard the Second in favor of archery, who in his Toxophilus says, "Quoying From this time until now the game has been played only by the working people and the loafers of the villages with horseshoes instead of circles, but now it has risen in favor of a vile thing, but very fascinating."

MERCHANTS HERE FOR COURSE NUMBER 150
Continued Interest and Enthusiasm is Manifested by All in Attenence
BUSINESS WC AN TALKS
Chamber of Commerce Will Be Host to Merchants Thursday
"Have a reason," an old sogan revised, was the theme presented by John W. Child of the Minnesota Northwestern College to about seventy-five visitors and local merchants in a brief address at a joint luncheon and pee meeting held Monday evening at the University of Wisconsin to program of the Merchants' Short Course.
Kansas merchants to the number of 150 have enrolled for the Merchants' Short Course, according to registration at Room 117, Fraser. Much interest and enthusiasm is being manifested not only by the merchant community, but also in journalism and economics departments who are attending the sessions.
"If you have a reason for cutting prices, tell the public about it." Mr. Dewl武Idied the merchants. "Put your reason in your ad. Merchants should be careful about their use of the word 'value,' as the public has grown to believe that in its use by merchants is purely an imaginary quality. Forget these suggestions," he declared, "are always better than negative ones."
After the luncheon, which was limited to visiting merchants and the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, Major H. J. D. Burdick led in the singing of several Chamber of Commencementes, and Professor Arthur McMurray, department of public speaking of the University, read several poems.
Ruth Leigh is arousing much enthusiasm by her talks on selling problems. Miss Leigh is the author of two books on advertising, "The Human Side of Retail Selling" and "The A. B. C. of Retailing." She is also advertising to the newspapers of New York and is now a special lecturer on advertising for the Associated Advertising Clubs of America.
In a short interview today Miss Leigh said:
"Too many women are in business just to employ their time until marriage. They think they might as well work and have money while they use up their time. They don't realize," a miss Leigh "that staying at home and attending successfully to the business of the world is a great deal harder than 'work.'"
One of the reasons that men get ahead of women in business is that women are able to self-centered, Miss Leigh believes. They pay attention to their own line of work and neglect to observe the experiences of others.
Explanation for this apparent lack of interest outside their own particular work may have its foundation in the fact that women are newer to business than men, Miss Leigh observed.
"The successful business woman is the woman who is awake to the business of other people as well as to all phases of her own," Miss Leigh said.
R. T. Whitmah gave a practical demonstration of "Displays that Sell" which was given close attention.
"A Small Town Store Organization," was the problem handled by Cliff Crooks this morning. Mr. Grocks will talk again tonight on the subject, "What's the Matter With Us?" in Green Hall.
W. H. Farley illustrated his lecture at 11:30 o'clock on "Welfare Work—A Merchant's Opportunity."
This afternoon, Prof. A. J. Boynton, head of the department of economics, will speak on "Future Business Conditions."
Announcement was made Monday night by Bert Ober that the Chamber of Commerce would be host to the visiting merchants at the Chamber of Commerce rooms Thursday night, at which time Paul W. Ivey, head of the department of business administration at the University of Missouri, will speak on the benefit for the evening, which is to be in the form of a smoker, will include special features for the women, Mr. Ober said.
