Nebraska, with ten games on her schedule with Oklahoma and the three Iowa teams, won nine and lost one for the second place percentage. The Kansas Angles and the Oklahoma State team each having lost enough games to the Tigers to spoil their championship hopes. The Tiger champions duplicated their dull, sickening thud of last year by losing the last game of the season to the Kansas Aggies Saturday night, 32 to 24. The Cowlw brothers at guard for the Aggies evidently got William* goat; for the big center was unable to cage a goal during the entire game. Two-tailenders, Grimell and Drake, yet have a score to settle, and will fight out a pair of games Tuesday and Saturday of this week. Kansas won up her season by beating the Oklahoma Sooners in two games at Norman, and Grimell trimmed Washington in a couple of contests. Veterans teams conned the first three places in the standings column for Mourisur, Nebraska and the Kansas Aggies, while Kansas, Ames and Okla- mia had teamed up with teams that had teams of almost completely green materi_ Drake, Grinnell, and Washington had very weak teams, each vicing for the cellar position. The Pilker five, which lost sixteen games only two, finished in the basement. Missouri's seventeen wins included every team in the valley except Grinnell and Nebraska, who were not on her schedule. The one defeat at the game was by the big feature of the Agrie team, which finished in third place. Nebraska lost only one valley game, and that to Ames, fifth-placer, which menaced all the valley leaders during the season. The winners of the tournament team save the Missourians and Kansas Agies, but had the misfortune to have four games with each of these teams. The Oklahoma Sooners lost to all the leaders, and won from Drake, Grimsel and Washington, the two best teams could win games only from each other. Forwards; Bunger, K S. A.

Allen for the consolidation of all agriculturists boards under a commission and "against" the bill's challenge of passing. The bill was literally torn to pieces by farmer members of the two houses and was subjected to much ridicule. THE CAILLEE PERFECTION MOTOR CO. Detroit.

BRADLEY RANKS HIGH IN ILLINOIS CONTEST Relay Team Finished Fourth Sandefur Took Second in Shotnut Bradley proved himself one of the best sprinters in the country at the I. A. A. meet Saturday at Ubana, III, when he came in second in the 75-yard dash, scarcely six inches behind the winner, Deering, of Nebraska, besides placing for the finals in the hurdles and shot putting events. Sandefur put the shot second best of any man in the meet. Sandefur had his event sowed up until the last heave when Shaw, of Notre Dame, threw the iron pill 43 feet. 6 inches. The relay teams all finished in fourth place, their inability to place higher being mostly due to the inexperience of most of the runners. The mile was run by Wabash College, O'Leary, Kansas quarter-miler, was in fine form and run one of the fastest quarters of the races. Patterson passed up all the milers in the four-mile relay, and Massey held his own with the field, but lack of experience played its part in the Jayhawk defeat. The K. U. tracksters also phased four in the medley, which was won by Ames, with Illinois and Purdue second and third. Coach Schlademann this morning said that the meet was very satisfactory for the K. U. men as it gave them something they lacked most—experience. STILL CALLING FOR HELP Baseball Coach Maintains That Competition is Needed Still the call for more baseball candidate comes reverberating from the McCook Field diamond. The number of men who turned out Friday to wield the bludgeon and chase spheroids over the lot was a great improvement, but Coach "A" Lindsay stoutly maintains that competition is being a team that is capable of taking care of itself in Valley baseball. Despite inclement weather conditions, the horseshield will be toasted about on McCook this afternoon. Batting practice will be the strong feature of this week's practice. Several of the men who are hunting horses for them will nearly knocking the cover off the Spaldings already, and Lindsey is confident of developing more sluggers.

Sure Omen of Spring Spring is at hand according to a prophet who bases his prophecy not on birds, trees or any other aspect of nature, but on straw hats. Already several students have been seen taking a picture of the Greek teachers to the Greek cleaners downtown. Panamans have outnumbered the sailors to date. The Greeks say that the predominance of panamas is due to the fact that sailors do not "keep" as well as panamans. However a few of the sailors have stood through the winter and have found their way north. Panamans are known to them they will be presentable by the time the first stude steps out in spring attired by a straw. Although the merchants have not announced the spring showing of the new sturbs, it is expected that the stores will be in evidence in a very short time. The ground hog theory of weather has failed, and it has worked. This year he saw his shadow which signifies six weeks more of winter weather. Believe what you may, but the temperature is never of when spring is here and that "getting the old straws out" is the surest sign known in "Greekedom." BIRDHOUSE CONTEST CLOSES Chamber of Commerce Will Banquet Entrants and Teachers Mrs. C. I. Reed, former instructor in the department of zoology, who has made an extensive study of birds, and The fifth Annual Birdhouse contest among the schools of Lawrence terminated Saturday with a big banquet at the Chamber of Commerce in El Paso, a pupil who were entered in the contest, and the teachers of the schools. who has conducted such contests for five years, has spared no time and effort to make this contest a success. The contest was one hundred per cent better this year than ever before to Mr. Glenn Moore, Scout Master. The judges of the bird houses were Dr. C. I. Reed, Mr. Glmore, and Prof. S. L. Whitcombe of the English department. The houses were graded first, according to structure, and secondly, for architecture and artistic style. There were one hundred and forty-five houses entered. Three prizes will be given to each grade, the sweepstakes were Cameron, Golding first, Edward Brown second, and George Crawford third. The winning house was built for a Chickadee. One of the very cleverly and artistically built houses was labeled for a "Jayhawker." This house has been purchased and will be presented as a gift to Dr. P. F. C. Alen; it will be furnished, and will be used to grow Jayhawkers in, according to those in charge of the contest. John Henry Lewis, c24, spent the week end in Kansas City, Mo.

Day Sounds like a nightmare of a washwoman before a hard Monday. It isn't. It is merely the age of a year's washing turned out by MaJ. James A. Toy of Washington, D. C., when he was chief laundryman for the United States Army and made his 12-year wash during a good year amounted to 117 million pieces. Major Toy bears the rather formidable title of "efficiency expert," which he says means a man who applies common sense to business. He is said also to have the distinction of having "good knowledge" of D.C. during the war who took charge of a business enterprise for the government and made it pay.
