THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
PRESENT TOURNAMENT LARGEST IN HISTORY
First Event Held in 1908 Had Only Six Boys Teams Entered
GIRLS ENTERED SECOND
Record for Attendance Set Each
Year With Big Jump
For 1921
Only six boys' teams were entered in the high school basketball tournament in 1908, the year of the first tournament. The affair was held in conjunction with the high school invitation meet of that year. The girls were not to be outdone, and the next year, 1909, several girls would have been taken when the girls have taken a prominent part in every tournament.
Interest has increased every year up until 1917, when sixty-eight teams were entered. Only fifty-three entries were made in the first season and seventy-seven teams participated, Winfield winning the boys' championship for the second time, while Rosedale won the girls' flag. Halstead won the boys' games the first two years they competed and Beloit won the first girls' series.
This year, however, marks the biggest year of the tournaments, eighty-five teams being entered, forty-six boys' teams and thirty-seven girls'. In addition to the tournament, the track school is being held. The track meet was divorced from the tournaments in 1900.
Hereford, the tournaments have been open events, that is, any team could enter. This year the entries were determined by tournaments under the award of the Ramsay High School Athletic Association, the four teams finishing in the semifinals of each of the fifteen districts being allowed to enter if they so chose. Although the tournaments are under the supervision of the winners cups will be given by the University as in former years.
In years past the boys have divided the flags fairly even among the different teams, Halstead, Lawrence, Winfield and Newton each having taken the flag two years each and five other teams have won in the games. But the fact that they hold the bulk of the victories in the girls division, and Rosedale has two tournaments to her credit, according to the following tabulation of the

PHYSICAL DEFECTS COMMON
Seventy-five Per Cent of Women Are Defective
Seventy-five percent of the women who enter the University of Kansas show some form of physical defect, according to an estimate made by Dr. Martha Bacon of the department of physical education of the University
who bases her figures on actual physical examinations. This, she declares, is sufficient evidence of the need of education among women of the state.
The defects include poor posture and spinal curvatures, foot defects, chest deformities, relaxed abdomen, and heart disease. Few are examined, say, children with severe spine deformity. Most of these troubles however, are remedied by proper exercise, she adds. She also blames the most common foot defects, flat foot and poor arches, to improve strength and help shoes with low heels and thick soles.
"Each woman at the University of Kansas is required to take two years of physical culture," said Dr. Bacon, "and each one found to have physical limitations should remedy that defect. Ten forms of physical training are offered to the women students and these include hockey, volleyball, basket ball, tennis, track events, baseball, swimwear, floor work and an athletic dancing."

Correlated with the active physical training is the more specific training given to freshmen women. Each freshman is required to attend Hygiene classes once a week. In these classes they are instructed in anatomy, physiology, respiration, circulation and digestion.
After the two-year period, the training is voluntary, but each year 250 upper classmen take part in the inter-class competitive events. A woman in
the University," said Doctor Bacon, "in an attempt to keep every one physically fit to be a student. No woman can afford to neglect her physical development, while she is acquiring her health and fitness from a woman physical training, we are also developing her character, sportsmanship, and social ability."

that withstand the test of time are rare and should be cultivated. For the past thirty-five years Wiedemann's has filled its place in college life. Old graduates who return speak almost with reverence of Fraser Hall—night-shirt parades, and, above all, "Wiedies." Many a sweet question has been pressed over the marble topped tables and from all appearances a "bitter-sweet" still lends enchantment to coy sayings.
