THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 1 THREE HARD BATTLES BEFORE VARSITY FIVE Nine Men and Coach Allen Leave For Ames, Grinnell and Drake TO RETURN HOME FRIDAY Will Be Last Games to be Playee Before Battle With the Tigers Couch F. G. Allen and nine fighting Jayhawks left last, evening on the first trip of the season, the invasion of Ames, Grinnell and Drake. Three hard games are scheduled in as many nights and this trip will test the Jayhawk mottle as it has not been tested this season. Captain Roby, Woostemeyer, Wolf, Endacott, Black, Frederick, Bowman Rupp and McDenald are the men who accompanied Coach Allen on the northern trip. All the men on the squad were given a short trial in the Oklahoma game and Dr. Allen took those men whom he thought showed up to advantage in the battle with the Sooners. The game with Ames is the first on the list and is by no means a set up for the Kansas five. The Aggie team has been strengthened materially since game with Kansas last week. And it will be on the stand. The forty minutes with Grimell will probably be the easiest for the Robinson hoopsters while the game with Drake, which stands third in the Valley and has lost only to Kansas and Missouri, will unfortunate crucial battle of the northern games. All of the three teams use the Western conference style of play, playing the man rather than the ball. The players check, block and face the man continually. It is a rather interesting feature that all these teams including Nebraska use this style of play. The Jayhawkers will return home Friday morning. Should the Kansans emerge from these games with a slate as clean as they now have, they would need next Tuesday, having played the next number of games as the Tigers and with only one black mark against them, the defeat by Missouri. Francis Alexander to Head This Year's Team TENNIS CAPTAIN IS ELECTEI Francis Alexander was elected captain of the 1922 tennis team at a meeting of the last year's squand, yesterday afternoon. Alexander was a regular on the team last year, and is one of the best tennis players in the school. A rule was passed this year that letters would be given only to winners, or runners-up, in Valley meets. Recommendations have been made to the athletic board to change this to two first in valley committee competitions. This will give any member of the squad an opportunity for a letter. Captain Alexander plans to have a five man squad, according to rank. Any man on the squad is entitled to challenge the man above him to a match to hold his position, and any man in the school may challenge the fifth man. By this means, he believes the best men can be picked. Work has begun on the new varsity courts, west of the Stadium, and they will be completed as soon as possible. In the meantime, tryouts will be held in the gymnasium, Captain Alexander urged all the tennis players to begin brushing up for the coming season. Law Students Awarded Prize By Book Company Washington, Feb. 14—In an effort to avert the threatened strike and prevent future strikes, Senator Kenyon of Iowa today introduced a bill creating a tribunal to adjust differences between miners and their employers. While it probably would be impossible to pass the bill before the present situation would reach its climax, the fact that congress is at work on such a bill might taint all the trouble, senators believe. The bill, an outgrowth of the recent Virginia investigation creates a labor board of nine members, three representatives of labor, three of miners, and three of the public. At least one member of the public group must concure in every enactment of the board. Publicity and the force of public opinion is the only enforcing power behind the board's ruling.

Americans May Stop Shooting of Pigeons Monte Carlo, Feb. 14—Despite the pressure of American and British public opinion, coiled by hundreds of humane visitors, the shooting of live tame pigeons for sport continues this year on the terraces of the Casino. The doves are bred as ppt pipenets, who roost on the Casino roof and strut on the Casino lawns and walks oblivious to fate. Prizes amounting to 200,000 francs during the season and offered so the "sportmen" who kill or main the greatest number of birds. One day when he is feeling most optimistic, Monsieur Piqueau is seized and thrust into a dark square box, just big enough to hold him. Suddenly, some time after, the four sides of the box fly open. The pigeon bewildered, fights towards light and freedom. There is a report. He flutters to earth to flap his wings in agony until a trained dog retracts he and carries him toward a merciful knife and eventual pigeon pie. From the point of view of the marksmanship the "sport" consists of not knowing which of the five pigeon containing boxes is going to fly off. These boxes are automatically from switches operated at a point not visible to the contest. 0 If the pigon is not brought down by the first shot, a second is allowed. These shots, fired by trained markmen, attracted by the large prizes, are from a distance of less than forty yards. Misses are infrequent. When the pitcher hits the ball, he level on the Casino terraces to watch, generally chers the pigon. Word was spread earlier in the season that, because of numerous protests, clay pigeons would be substituted for live birds. The clay pigeons, according to a Castro official, are not supposed to be raised and should shoot the official, live and clay pigeon shooting will be alternated for the remainder of the season. An effort will be made by resident Americans and English to have the shooting abolished altogether after this year. Here's One Man Who Won't Run for Governor Topkick, Feb. 14 — Clyde M. Reed, chairman of the Public Utilities Commission which announced he would candidate for governor for Kansas.

"I will not be a candidate for the republican nomination for governor as I am now engaged in a service of much importance to the people of Kansas.
