The Men's Student Council still has on hand over seven hundred copies of the 1220 Student Directory, according to a report received from the Student Directory Committee today. Basing their estimate on last year's sales, when over 2,000 copies of the directory were disposed of, this year" committee had only two thousand copies printed.
Over Seven Hundred Directories Are Unsold
At Springfield, Mass., Y. M. C. A college in 1891, then an association college for athletes and association men, Doctor Naismith had charge of a class of men enrolled in football baseball; and track who did not like their gym work, consisting of boxing wrestling, and swimming. At a faculty meeting, one professor suggested that invention only was use of things at hand, so Doctor Naismith remarked that the invention of a new possible. When the Doctor took charge of this class, the head of the school remarked that, "Now is your chance to invent your new game."
The honor paid to Dr. James A. Naismith by the National Intercollegiate Athletic Association of America, his life-membership on the basket ball rules committee, comes to the University thirty years in basket ball.
Naismith Invented Basket Ball By Employing "Things at Hand"
So Doctor Naismith went to work on the new game. For two weeks he thought the 'matter over.' Hockey loscrose, lacrosse, football—all were too tough to play indoors, though the interest of the men in this class was centered on football. He therefore decided to evolve the new game from Rugby. First, he analysed the sport for the mechanics of the game. He found that running, tackling, and kicking were the roots of this evil. After two weeks of concentration on this problem, he eliminated the running by allowing the player to run when he did not have the ball, thus also doing away with the tackling. Kicking was done away with by having the ball passed
Hortense Neilsen, Famous A Impersonator, To Be
ARTIST TO GIVE PLAY "ABRAHAM LINCOLN"
Practically no profit is made on the directory, and unless those now on hand are sold, a considerable loss will be sustained. A drive will be started immediately to dispose of these directories to the students.
John Drinkwaters's successful play,
"Brahma Lincoln," is to be presented
here in Fraser Hall Thursday,
January 6, at 8:15 o'clock, by a renown
impersonator, Miss Hortense
Nelsen. The very title should induce
every student to attend. It carries
a message of true patriotism and is
of unequaled educational and
historical value.
Miss Nielsen undertakes avery difficult thing when she proposes to imperateon such a grand figure as Abraham Lincoln. She attributes the success of the play to the audacity of the author in choosing a gigantic theme and treating it with simplicity. In Miss Nielson's portugal of the character of Chicago, Ms. Nielson's curiosity of Chicago this season, she was pronounced the greatest reader of plays that had ever been heard at that institution of learning.
Miss Nielsen has had as audiences for the past three seasons the student bodies of the various colleges and universities of America and come from Kansas City, where she gave her recital before the Women's Club at the Muehlebach Hotel. The price of the recital is 50 cents
The play has had a very successful run in Chicago for the past season, after successful seasons in New York and London. Professor Hopkins, of the department of English, said that the play and was very enthusiastic about it.
H. L. Seabring visited at the Acacia house Monday. He was on his way to Manhattan where he is a student at K. S. A. C.
Professor MacMurray, of the department of public speaking, says in regard to this performance: "I think that we are very fortunate in having an opportunity to hear this artist, and hope hat every student will avail himself of the opportunity to bear Miss Nielsen."
Here
with the hands only. As it was impossible to use a raquet and avoid the excessive roughness, it was found necessary to use a large ball.
The arrangement of the men was taken from lacrosse. Some trouble was found in inventing a starting of the game, but Doctor Naismith remembered the old English form of Rugby in which the ball was thrown in from the sideline when the ball went out of bounds and in which both sides lined up to hit the ball. He decided to use one man from each side to jump at the ball, which was thrown in from the side by the referee.
The question of goals came next. Obviously, the upright type of goal could not be used, nor could any goal permitting the use of excessive force in scoring the goal be used without allowing the game to become strenuous. The old game of "Duck on the Roof" came to Doctor Nathaniel's village. He threw the ball into the ball. so he went to the superintendent of the grounds for a box about eight inches square, which proved to be unobtainable right then. Lia place her was offered two pouch baskets. He took these and hung it at each end of the court, using the ball to knock the airy floor happened to be feet from the floor,—hence the present height of the goal.
The first team consisted of nine men. As skill was developed, it was found necessary to reduce the number of men to seven and later to five. The court was 35x45. At first every goal counted thrown.
K. U. STUDENT LEADER IN CHINESE UPRISING
Willson Chian Led Students WH Burnt Home of Pro- Japanese General
SPENT 5 DAYS IN PRISON
Studying Pharmacy Here a Expense of His Home Government
Five days in an improvised prison camp in Peking, the first day without food and water, was the lot of one University student as a result of his participation in the student labor movement which prevented China from signing the treaty of Versailles. Mr. Willison Chiang, now a student in the School of Pharmacy was the leader of a group of students who helped burn the house of the Japanese general and later carried on an intensive labor and peeking campaign.
Mr. Chiang is being sent to school in the United States for three years by the district government of Sung Kiang. At the time of the student uprising he was a student in Tsing Hua college near Pekong. Tsing Hua college was established in 1911 with money from the United States' share of the Boxer indemnity, and its purpose is to prepare Chinese students to come to the United States for further study.
During the spring of 1019 the students in the schools of China had put forth every effort to arouse public sentiment which would prevent signification of the treaty of Vienna because the provision regarding Shantung.
Saturday, on May 4, 1910 they held an extensive parade in which 4000 students took part, as a protest against the expected signing. After a peaceful demonstration in front of the president's palace the students started to march past the foreign legions, but were stopped by a cordon of police and soldiers. Influenced by this interference they rushed to the General Tuen, where the pro-Japan party burned it to the ground, and the police soon interfered in arrest about forty of the students but they were released the next day when the merchants of the city struck in sympathy with them.
During the next month the students kept up their campaign by means of street meetings and lecture, in spite of beatings and other interference on the part of the government. Many were arrested but the police soon found that the prisoners were not large enough.
on June 2, the government seizes the campus of Peking Government university for use as a prison camp On the fourth of June, 1000 of the speakers were arrested, and on the following day a group of inmates insisted to Mr. Chan. In spite of a strict newshood, news of the arrests leaked out to Shanghai and was spread throughout the country by the students there A widespread general srike on the part of the merchants on the after several days of disabling the freedom of speech which they demanded of release were released.
Because of exposure and ill treat ment during that period, Mr. Chiang could not return to school the next fall, but later taught English there and came before to this country. He entered K. U. last fall.

WIRELESS MAY HELP K. U. EXCHANGE NEWS
Would Eliminate Delay During Contests But Lack Operator
The possibility of an exchange of general news between the University of Kansas and other colleges and universities is becoming more of a reality, say persons who are connected with that work. The University of Iowa will accept a letter from the school of journalism of Iowa State College stating that they are taking up the plan to exchange news by wireless. This will eliminate the delay caused when news is sent by telephone or radio in the case of athletic contests.
Prof. F, E. Kester, head of the department of physics, heatly favors the idea, but says that the department in lake Hall is handicapped because no one on the present force can handle key work and it is important to be extremely familiar with wireless telegraph to handle the apparatus.
Wilson Riley c'22, formerly here at a wireless station here but states that it is not in shape to send or receive data, although it could be fixed up.
TALKS ON N. Y. PRESS
Vivid characterization of New York City, its newspapers, and the men who make them was the subject of a talk made by Glendon Aivine, A. B. 17 before journalism students this morning. Mr. Alvine was formerly with the New York Tribune, but is at present doing publicity work for the famous Players-Lasky Film Corporation. Jerome Beaty, 11, is director of publicity for this corporation, the laureat makers of motion pictures.
Glendon Alvine, A. B.'17, Now Doing Movie Publicity
"New York is filled with terrifying low-brow people," said Mr. Alvine. "There is an immense rubble that cannot read or写 letters, pictures, hence the Heart papers and the illustrated News. There are papers, however with characteristics suitable for any reader, from the complete, heavy Times, to the Morning Telegraph accounts of races and theatrical events."
Mr. Albvine told the owners and executives of the metropolitan papers, and gave valuelittle "pointers" for the use of the students of Jorge
Mr. Alvine is a member of the national executive council of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalistic fraternity. He was formerly associate editor of the Daily Kansan. He is a member of P Upsilion.
Plain Tales From the Him
While speaking of the burning qualities of phosphorous, Professor Hungerford had referred to the phosphorescent substance on the lightning bugs illuminator, and immediately there was a question.
"Professor, why doesn't the light-
ing-bug catch on fire?"
But another student saved the Professor embarrassment by answering "He has an asbestos body."
Professor Kestor: "Now, Mr. Boyle, in working this problem what law have you used?"
Mr. Boyle: "Boyle's law, air."
Professor Kestorr: "So it would seem."
Professor Chubb in American Government: "After examining some of your quiz papers, I have decided you should take a course in the school of fine art. I should recommend the class to stand back and stand back and throw paint at the canvas and only hit the high places."

K. S. A. C. ALL VETERANS
Craig Ruby is Coaching Tigers
—Nebraska a Newcomer
K. U. Schedule Hardest
The games are as follows:
Basketball games this week-end will start off the Missouri Valley conference hoop season with a rush. A reprintion of last season's performance, with four "class" fives leading the way, and the other five dragging behind, is indicated by the sport followers
The games are as follows. Missouri versus Ames, at Columbia, Jan. 7 and 8.
Kansas versus Drake, at Lawrence, Jan. 7 and 8.
Kansas Aggies versus Ottawa at Manhattan.
Oklahoma versus Oklahoma Aggies at Norman.
The Missouri-Ames and Kansas-Drake games claim the center of interest, however, as the K. S. A. C. and Oklahoma games are with non-conference schools. Missouri, coached by Craig Ruby, last year's captain, presents the most formidable front. Five letter men reported for practice during the week; Leslie Wacker, guards, George Williams, all-Vaillet center, and Ralph Coffey, and George Bond, forwards. Several other new men on the squad promise an over-abundance of fast material for Coach Ruby's selection. Kansas has the hardest row to hoop perhaps. One "veteran" has returned, Captain Ernest Uhlbrud, center of this other three letter men, Herbert Olson, and Roy Bennett, guard, and George Rody, forward, are working on the squad. Other men from whom Coach "Phoe" Allen may pick the five who start the opener against Drake in Lawrence Friday evening are Armin
Kansas has the hardest row to hoe perhaps. One "veteran" has returned, Captain Ernest Uhrlaub, center of two seasons experience, although three other letter men, Herbert Olson, Mike Snyder and Roy Fowler, are working on the squad. Other men from whom Coach "Phoe." Allen may pick the five who start the opener against Drake in Lawrence Friday evening are in Armin Wostemeyer, Clarence Hunt, George Bowman, and Kenny Welch, forwards, John Wolf, center, and Andy McDunnell, endcock, and George Hale, hurdles.
The Washington Pikers, who won second place in last year's struggle, also lost many veterans. Captain Jake Butler of the veterans around whom Coach Matthew Brown, a Syracuse man, must build a successful quintet. Other men on the sound reported as showing up well are Berry, Herry, Brian, Wier, and Tannell.
Oklahoma enters her second year in conference basketball with the reflected glory of her football victory yet in her eyes. They have practically the same team that played last year, consisting of Captain Cox, and Phil White, forwards, and Ed Waite, center. Other men of Coach Bennie Owen's squad are Wiseart and Rathun, both of whom have played the hoop game for the Sooners in previous years.
The Kansas Aggies, which started out so well at the beginning of last season, only to alum ingloriously to forth place in the finish, have a mighty strong team this year, judging from all indications, Captain Bunger, Williams, Jennings, and the two Cowell brothers, virtually the same five that played such stellar ball last year, reported in this fall. Fourteen valley games are on the Agiek schedule. ple.
Drake, Ames, and Grimell, the Iowa representatives in the conference, always turn out fives that play hard, fast basketball, but their showing last year was not extraordinarily good. Sensational tangle can always be expected from the Iowaans, and they are willing to minimize their anxiety about the showing of the unknown northerners.
Nebraska, returned to the valley conference for the first athletic season in two years, is not regarded anxiously in the south. Ten games are on her schedule, all with the Iowa schools, and the Huskers may stand a good chance of "scratching through" with the highest percentage, if they show enough speed to trim the Iowa. Nebraska does not meet, Missouri, Kansas, Washington, nor the Kansas Aggies.
A course in the psychology of music has been announced at John Hopkins University. The course will cover the psychology of hearing, the psychological principle underlying melody, harmonic and rhythm and the musical art work.
