THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SIG ALPHS VICTORS IN SEMI FINAL GAME Defeat Delta Taus in Hardfough Contest by Score 18 16 18-16 With a brilliant display of teamwork in the last minute of play, the Sig Alpha forged ahead of the Delta Tans and won to the advance of 18 to 6 when the right to play the Sigma Chimney, the finals for the Pan-Hellenic cup. In the second half the score was tied several times and it seemed to be a toss-up as to who the winner would be. The Delta Taus lost a good chance to win when they failed to make two free throws in this period. Both teams displayed brilliant team-work, although the similarity of the players in speedy passes. Black and Collins were the stars of the Sig Alph quintet, while Jennings was responsible for ten of the Delta Taus' marker Friday night the Sig Alphs will meet the Sigma Chis in the final contest in the gym at 7:15 o'clock. The team will play on Saturday the Sig Alphs winning streak and this will probably be the hardest fought game of the series as the Sig Alphs defeated the former team in its final sem-finals of last year's tournament. The Sigma Chis will probably be *tire* "Young Dutch" Lomberg am Speck, freshmen stars, "Hungary" the second year in the season, Saunders and Kreuger The Sig Alph offering will probably be the same quintet that graced the floor last night, when they attempt to meet their last year's performance.

This is a truthful falsehood. If the Itigers players all break their legs, and are twice defended by the Aggies, while the Cornhuskers win two from Ames, Nebraska must be awarded the Valley leadership. A team that is behind is on the defensive, and naturally should make more fouls than a victorious aggregation. Both teams complained that the officials did not call all of the rule violations, but even Kanaas players found but little fault with Sermon's work. The showing made by Sandefur in the K. S. A. C. meet was one of the surprises. He has the knack of tossing the avoidiops as far as the naked eye can see, and he is good for points in the Illinois meet this week Griffin's win in the quarter was also unlocked for. Fresher who can win first are good things for **you** body's track team, and Coach Schlade-mann will have a real 440 man next year. This year looks like Missouri will go under in track.

INSTALL SOCCER AS A UNIVERSITY SPORT Team Will be Picked From Supporters of English Sport Sport Soccer, a favorite British sport, has been installed in the University and about a dozen students and faculty members have been employing this as their outdoor exercise for the past two weeks. Practices are held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons at 4:30. Organization are just being completed with John Brodie, a vocational students who has won much popularity as an imitator of Harry Lander, as coach. Mr. Brodie played soccer in Scotland before coming to this country and in England and now he is a soccer enthusiast and has found another in Dr. Naismith, who played this game while a young man in Canada and is anxious to make this one of the university sports. They have found an excellent player in Sargent Thomas P. Gavigan, of the R. O, T. C, and a student of the school of law, who was playing football in Ireland and England during the war. All eastern universities have adopted this sport and many of the Western schools are doing so," said Mr. Brodie Monday afternoon. "Kansas City boasts of a league with twelve teams." "It is a very interesting game and the exercise is of the right kind. A team will be picked and it is expected, if the proper amount of interest is shown, that it will be put on an interscholastic basis." PEOPLE VOTE FOR GERMANY OR POLAND Inhabitants of Upper Selicia Will Determine Fate By Election London, March 2.—All Europe is watching with interest the interest in coming election which takes place in Upper Saxon in mid-March to determine whether this rich coal district remains German or becomes Polish, according to a report of the United Press Correspondent. This is the next step in the dismemberment of Germany. A fast campaign is taking place in Upper Silesia between the German and Polish partisans. It is accompanied by murder, corruption funds and banditry. Human life is bought and sold. The price for a grown man is 60,000 marks—$72 in American money. The opinion of Europe is sharply divided on the question. Among Allied nations there are grave differences of opinion on the advisability of depriving Germany of the rich coal resources of this district. This would seriously cripple her ability to pay indemnity. France, in giving Poland her support is following her policy of striving for the dismemberment in order to weaken the gigantic enemy. England's views are liberal and she has supported the separation of Upper Silicia from Germany as she sees in such action an impoverishment of Germany that will absolutely forbid payment of war indemnity. They declare that "the world can recover only as a unit. The world cannot be the impoverishment of Germany." Send the Daily Kansan home B. B McCOLLOCH, Druggis Eastman Kodaks L. E.

Wickenden Talks to Engineers on Possibilities of Automatic Operator "Some day in the near future it may be possible for you to go to the telephone, and get your desired number without ever speaking to, or hearing the voice of the central operator," said W. E. Wickendon of the Western University branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers conducted in the lecture room of Marvin Hall, at 7:30 o'clock Tuesday evening, Mr. Wickendon is making a tour of a number of schools, giving his latern slide lecture on "Telephone Machine Manhattan." It was announced that next meeting of the society will be held Wednesday evening, March 9. In his talk Mr. Wickendon showed how the automatic operator is being developed. It was worked out in the laboratories at first, and recently is being tested in practical use. The performance of the phone, simply goes to the instrument and pushes a number of little buttons and levers, and the mechanism at the central station does the rest of the work. A semi-automatic arrangement has also been developed, and requires the services of one operator for According to Mr. Wickendon, the four great problems in the development of this new system were: the development of the electro magnetic mechanism, the development of the interconnecting circuits, the design of the central office, and the motive power for the entire machinery. In closing, Mr. Wickendon showed that the one great obstacle in the way of the automatic switching system is, the large effect that it has on the people. He said that people are much more patient when they have a "central girl" to blame than when they merely have to rely on their own efforts. A chapter of Phi Delta Kappa, honorary education fraternity, has recently been installed at the University of Oregon. Twenty-five members were initiated at the installation banquet which was held at the university's building on campus. The third new chapter of Phi Delta Kappa to be installed this year, the other two being at the Universities of Michigan and Minnesota. Private dancing lessons evenings. Phone 2613 Blue. Mrs. J. L.

MOAK & HARDTERFER Eldridge Taxi Station NEW COMET IS RUMORED Phone 148 BAGGAGE and TRANSFER A few interesting facts about comets were learned recently from Professor Alter, head of the department of Astronomy here. Word has reached the University that a new comet has put in its appearance somewhere in the heavens, but just where or how large it is, or its name, has not been learned. It is not yet visible to the naked eye, but it can be seen by a tronomer, has sighted it through the glass and reported the find to the observatory at Harvard. The telescope at K. U., is not large enough to measure distances, so the computing of orbits with regard to position and distance of comets is left, to the University with better facilities than ours. Find Has Been Reported Observatory at Harvard Halley's comet, probably the largest and best known comet of today, is about 2000 years old. It is the first comet whose orbit was computed. During the year 1066, at the time the Turks were terrorizing Europe, this comet became its way across the sky. Europans in general, and those that part of Europe who had not yet been troubled with the *Terrible Turk* in particular, were very much troubleled and excited over the comet for it seemed to be travelling the same direction as they did when it was a sign that they were to be invaded next. And in their prayers they mentioned three things in particular. "Oh Lord," they prayed, "save us from the Turk, the Devil." Jo is interesting to note just how the world is acquainted beforehand with the appearance of a comet. If the comet is first observed in Europe the word is immediately flashed to the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, where the word is at once capped to Harvard University, and later wired by these two institutions to our own university of amers in their respective countries who may care to pay a small fee for the service. A comet is almost a perfect vacuum, and light from the sun in striking it breaks away part of it and it is these separated fragments trailing along behind which causes the tail. When traveling toward the sun, the tail follows as well, but the source of light the tail reverses itself and proceeds the comet.
