J. C. MOORE TO WASHINGTON
Will Submit Manuscript to U. S.
Department of Geology
Prof. J. C. Moore of the department of geology is spending this week in Washington submitting his manuscript to the United States Department of Geology. Professor Moore made a trip to southern Texas to sum up at which time he mapped and studied the geological formations found there.
This work of Professor Moore's will probably be published in one of the coming United States Government Publications.
Professor Moore is nominally State Geologist. At the present time the department is being kept up through the generosity of the Chancellor in supply funds. In the past there has been in the state a department of Geological Survey but it was discarded by the state legislature. Practically other states have this dedication and it is being kept up here in the hope that it will again go through the state legislature at its next session.

Van Lauds Students As "Best On Earth"
Van is back at his animal house today, after a long absence, suffering with broken leg and he came over to the Kansaen once to tell, the word what he thinks of the "K. U. boys and girls."
"They're the best on the earth," said Van, "and you just tell all these knackers that. All the time I was gone they came to see me, not just one or two, but bunches of them. One day fifteen came, and with flowers and fruit for just old Van, the animal man."
Van was bitterly disappointed not to have witnessed the Missouri Thanksgiving game. "The "boys" bought him a ticket and offered a car for transportation, but he was afraid he would be broken by the leg all over again," he said. "I would have jumped up and down just like the girls do."
Van's leg was fractured in an auto mobile accident November 12.
EXPERTS PICK FIRST TEN TENNIS PLAYERS
"First Ten" Corresponds "All-American" Football, But is Official
New York, Jan. 3—Tennis in America last summer reached the peak of popularity and interest.
Because of the great growth of the court pasture, the number of players engaged in actual competition and the unusual interest shown by the public, the ranking of players by the United States Lawn Tennis Association will be watched with more than the ordinary interest.
The "First Ten" selected by the governing body of the game corresponds to the "All American" teams and means far more to the players.
The committee of the association delegated to select the ten best American players and rank the other hundreds of competitors naturally cannot make a choice that will suit every one in every section but the criticism of the selection last year was particularly bitter when the austere body ranked the best boy winner. Vincent Richards as No. 12.
What the committee will do about Richards this year is causing considerable speculation. Most of the followers of the court game are unanimous that the committee can place the Fordham college no lower than 75 percent in the top tier and William M. Johnston, the stars of the American Davis Cup team.
Fred Hawthorne, one of the best tennis writers and critics in New York recently announced the ten players that in his judgment were entitled to selection. He rated them in the following order: Tilden, Johnston, Richards, R. N. Williams, Wallace Johnson, Watson Washburn, Ighaun Kumagae, Willis Davis, Robert Kinye and Lawrence Rice.
Interest also is attached to the "International First Ten" which has been named by B. H. Liddell Hart in "The National Review" (London). His nominations are No. 1, William T. Tilden; 2, William M. Johnston; 3, Manuel Alonzo, Spain; 4, Vincent Richard; 5, A. R. F. Kingston; 6, Charles W. South Africa; 7, R. N. Williams, America; 8, N. E. Brookes, Australia; 9, Zeno Shimidu, Japan; 10, J. O. Anderson, Australia.
Other Americans included in his ranking list are: Washburn Watson, 11; Roland Roberts, 12; Wallace Hill, Davis, 11; Frank T. Hunter, 21; N.A. Wiles, 28; H. A. Throckmorton, 34; L. B. Rice, 34.
Selection of the United States As association perhaps will bear an international flavor since so many of the foreign players were seen in action here during the Davis Cup preliminaries and the other big tournaments.
Two bugs were crawling over a Post Toasties box. One was moving leisurely across the middle of the box and the other was scampering along near the top. "Why the hurry, friend?" asked the easy googin bug. Don't you see where I am? replied the other, "It says 'tear along this line'."—Great Oaks from Little Acorns Grow.

Work on the grounds will continue for several weeks. About twenty men are still working for the Unit Construction Co. They are engaged
Spooner's Present Collection Of Books Is Outgrowth From Embryonic Library In Fraser
Wouldn't K. U. students back in the eighties have opened their eyes to bear of a $250,000 appropriation been granted for a library?
work in building
In the early days, the few books the University possessed, consisting of government documents and various personal books belonging to professors, were kept in the southwest vom on the second floor of Fraser Hall. In the early years, the library moved to Room 4, but only seniors were permitted to use the books.
In 1877 the library, which has been increased each year by new books was transferred to Room 14 in Fraser Hall. Here for the first time, the University library was thrown open to all the students. Alcove were built for the books, and chairs and tables. At this time the library consisted
cf 2,619 volumes. The number of books increased rapidly, and when it exceeded 8,000 volumes, the library was moved to the north end of the
In 1880, William B. Spooner, a Boston merchant and the uncle of an Exchancellor F. H. Snow, died, leaving a legacy of $91,100 to the University for the founding of a library, and the building of a residence for the Chan-
ter family. As the gift he realized in 1894 when Spooner Library was built.
Miss Carrie M. Watson was elected, librarian of the new building and continued to act in this capacity until the present year. At her withdrawal, Earl N. Manchester became director of libraries.
With a yearly appropriation of $18,000, the number of volumes in the library has increased until now Spooner boasts over 140,000 books. It had come to be a matter of more room or no more books, when the legislature last year made the $250,000 appropriation for a new library, the proposed site which is back of Snow Hall.
Lumber which was used in the construction of the Stadium has all been cleaned and is being sold in job shops. The armored arms are taking advantage of this.
