WILDCATS READY FOR
BIG BATTLE TONIGHT
Both Teams Beat Ames by Nearly the Same Score
TEAMS IN GOOD SHAPE
Coach Allen Expects Hard Fight Due to Supreme Aggie Effort
The Aigle Wildcats pusy-footed into Lawrence this afternoon ready and anxious for the tangle with the Jayhawkers in Robinson Gym at 7:30 o'clock. Both coaches announce that their teams are in good condition for the battle and predict a fight from the start to the final shot.
"There is always a reaction from a championship game," declared Coach Allen this morning. "The players have a tendency to let down after having won the hardest game on the schedule. We're not going to take Missouri victory over our team or play our best basketball for forty minutes. We ought to win, but that doesn't mean we shall win. It will be a hard battle."
The Kansas line-up this evening will be the same as that which has started most of the home games, and will be in the place of Woostemeyer, and Captain Body, Wulf, Black and Endacott filling out the personnel of the two. Fredericks and McDonald will be on the sidelines to enter the game in case of emergency.
The Agrie line-up is as follows: Debson and Williams, forwards; McKenna, center; Cowell and Weber, guards. Debson is a star individual on the Wimbledon team of two years ago won him and his team much praise.
The Akgies and Kansas have always played close games no matter what the strength of their respective teams and the game this evening should not be an exception. The Akgies were well known for playing while Kansas took ames into camp by an equally close count, so there is not much difference in the two teams according to this dope. Ames and the Akgies play a similar style of game and this will be an added feature in the point that Akgies played while Ames played Kanes, a very close game here about two weeks ago.
OFFERS FENCING TO WOMEN
Class Will Be Instructed by
Major Burdick
"The Kansas team has never played as good a game at home as they do on their trips," said Coach Allen. "I would like for the Jayhawkers follow up to see the style of game the Kansas five can play. If they play near their possibilities, the Kansas team should win tonight."
"The first women's class in fencing will be held at 3:30 o'clock, Friday, March 3," announced Maj. H. D. Burdick, of the R. O. T. C., who will inform
This class is an innovation. Fencing has never before been open to women. There will be instruction every Monday and Friday.
"I want to do anything that will aid or improve the department of physical education," said Major Burdick.
"Fencing is a major sport in eastern schools. Yale, Harvard, Cornell, the University of Pennsylvania, the Army, the Navy, Princeton, Massachusetts, and the Marine Corps. Columbia hold fencing contests as part of their sports program.
"Fencing skills the pupil in speed, agility, and gracefulness. The acquiring of perfect balance is one of the requirements of the sport."
Major Burdick was on the varsity fencing team three years when he was a student at the Naval Academy at Annapolis and in 1908 he was captain. There are only three men chosen for the team every year.
No W. A. A. Membership After This Thursday
W. A. D. drive for membership started this morning and tickets are being sold over the campus by board members and captains of the teams or may be at the gymnasium office. Solma Gottlieb, in charge of this drive, says that the present membership is lower by 200 than it was last year which is an added incentive to work hard in the next two days.
Membership is an absolute requirement for entrance in the spring sports and coming intra-mural tournament, and according to Miss Gottlieb, this is the last chance to join. The drive closes Thursday evening. *
Prof. E. H. S. Bailey of the chemistry department who has been ill for several days, is improving.
Austa Cross, c'23, who has been ill,
has returned to her classes.
Date for Inter-Class Tournament Changed
"The woman's inter-class tournament will begin Thursday, March 2, instead of Tuesday as was previously given out," said Mia Hooher, who is in charge of the tournament, this morning. "The schedule of games will be played as arranged, with the exception of this change.
This difference in the date was necessary on account of the Aggie game to be played here Tuesday.
“1200 A YEAR” CAST ANNOUNCED ALL STAR
Many Character Parts Make Play Different From Others Put On
"An All Star Cast," Professor Armac Murray, coach of "Twelve Hundreded a Year," promised this for the next All-University Play, which will be presented in the Bowersock Theater. March 13.
"Twelve Hundred a Year," is a remarkable character play, "as said Mr MacMurray. "The committee on tryouts spent a good time of selecting the right people to play the many rich character bits which it contains will work out as they will work out as directly as did the small parts in "Big Idea."
"Twelve Hundred a Year" is written around the salary situation at educational institutions. It is packed full of hilarious fun, but has a serious underlying purpose. The play is quite different from any attempted by a teacher in the Club east before, according to persons who have attended reservations.
A ticket selling contest for the play will be conducted by University women and tickets may also be obtained at theound Corner drug store.

SCHOOL LABORATORIES
MAKE BUG STATISTS
One Tenth of Crop Destroyed by These Animals and Bacteria Yearly
If little Miss Muffet were to sit on a tufted taffet, they would be equipped, not with her curds and whey, but with a "bug bottle." And if along came a spider to sit down beside her, would she be frightened away? Not on your head. You could have a jack Robbins, she would have him popped inside the smelly bug bottle, the counterpart of Nevada's rest haven for criminals.
Although not the entire family of "bugs" may be included in the criminal class, enough of the species have committed yearly depredations to to make their class of animal members subject to general suspicion by the human race. Hence the bug bottles that the problem of the bug may cause are found. Grounding facts have already come to light in this determined investigation of the bug, his business, and his suiciness, or lack of it.
That there are more insects in the world than the number of all other living things put together. Three-fourths of all the animals, of the world's are insects. The largest of these animals are the elephant and the whale, the smallest the bacterium, while the largest is the average size for them all. Also a half million insects already have been classified, and it is estimated that there are half that number more. The total number of plants on earth equals only half that number. And it is the harm that the insects do to plants and the rest of the world that causes billions of lens of today. Much of the remedy for this problem is being determined in the laboratories of the schools. Fol-

lowing are some of the statistics compiled by them:
Insects destroy one-tenth of the crops of the nation yearly. Of the quick-growing market crops, one-fifth is given to insects. To farm crops, forest and storage products in general, $25,000,000 damage is done yearly throughout the country. Yearly in the United States $10,000,000 are screen for surveillance as protection against house files. The mosquito and malaria diseases are shared by the suburban plague are shared by the world over. Typhoid, dysentery and children's diseases are common household words, in antifly cannamines.
Taking it all in all, the insect as a part of him, must go. The department of entomology says so. So, bring your bottle. Let slaughter be unconfined.

An Eight Hour Limit For "Sheik" Readers
The Sour Owl may fret about the overwork of a few copies of "The Sheik," but a downtown book store is doing its best to put across an "eight-hour day" for the well known red-backed volume.
Oklahoma City, Feb. 28—The worst blizzard in recent years held Oklahoma in its grip today. Transportation systems were becoming partially paralyzed. CCommunication lines were seriously interrupted.
In the window of this store, modestly hiding behind the *less-fame* editions a certain book lures all eyes. The *Shoak*, by just eight letters,
Well-posed olders note the title,
raise their eyebrows and walk haughtily on.
Young men give each other the wink and watch the girls try to suppress a giggle or an explosive stif.
It was at that moment when no acquaintance as in sight that the longing customers slipped quickly through the shipment on the shipment on the Hall book to decrease.
But how casually these people enter the store. What do they want? Oh just any book of fiction that will make lively reading. Just anything. No had nothing particular in mind. Yes have heard that that was a good book But it does sound a bit dry, doesn't it?
Oh, what is this? *Ok*, that book,
"The Sheik." It be so much talked about. I wonder if it is as bad as they say. I believe I cry that. He's been a big foe, forced laugh). At least it will be something to pass away the time.
