Eleventh Tournament Of Kansas High Schools Opens in Gym Friday
Boys' Games Start With Viola Against Linwood and Iola Against Williamsburg
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 21, 1918.
Management Expects 400
State High School Athletic Association Championship will Also Be Decided
The eleventh annual high school basketball tournament will bog 'n at 10 o'clock Friday morning with vlaia opposing linwood on one of the cross courts in Robinson gymnasium and Iola playing Williamsburg on the other. The preliminary games in the boys' tournament will then continue until 2 o'clock Friday after vlaia's third game, those between Merriam and Chanute and between Argentine and Burlington are played.
The fact that Parsons, Newton, Topeka, Solomon, Lawrence, Reno County, Emporia and Hays high schools will play among themselves until 10:15 Saturday morning to decide the State High School Athletic Association championship, will mean that the interest in the tournament will be centered on those teams in the early games. Wichita, Iola, Winfield, Arkansas City, Larned, McPherson and other quintets outside the District championship class undoubtedly play an excellent brand of basketball.
The stream of high school students will begin to pour into Lawrence this evening and Coach Hamilton believes there will be four hundred visitors by the time the tournament begins tomorrow morning. The Olympus Club, the newly organized association of "K" men for the promotion of better athletics at the University, has charge of receiving the guests and making arrangements for their accommodation while in Lawrence, and according to Willard Hilton and George Nettles, chairman of the reception committee, provisions have been made for the entertainment of every team. EP Education will entertain one girls' team, and they will furnish almost enough accommodation for the entire list of girls' teams, as there are only twelve entered. Fraternities, clubs and other organizations will entertain the boys' teams.
Silver loving cups will be awarded to the winners of the championship in both the boys' and girls' tournaments, while smaller loving cups will be given the runners-up in both tournaments. A large silver loving cup will also be awarded to the winner of the State High School championship, as the contest between the champions of the eight Congressional districts, is called.
ALLEN AND BROWN WILL REFEREE Phog Allen, athletic director at the Warrenburg Normal School, who referred many of the games in the Misericordia Cup and Red Brown of Kansas City, official referee of the Kansas City high school games, will handle all the games in the tournament.

Alpha Xi Delta Wins Championship Game in Intramural Tournament
Defeat Brush League In Final Round; Running Center Makes Thirteen Points
Alpha Xi Delta defeated Brush League by a score of 33-12 in the final game of the intramural basketball tournament last night, thereby winning the loving cup.
The Alpha Xi Delta team was at its best and won the first half by a score of 21-2. The second half was much closer but the inability of the Brush League forwards to shoot goals prevented them from running up a large score. Nelle Beidengo, guard for Brush League, played a fast, clean game and her guarding team kept this season alive. Helen Barnett, star forward on the freshmen team this season, played running center for Alpha Xi Delta and was responsible for thirteen points for her team.
A similar tournament will be held next year and more entries are expected according to Coach Hazel Pratt.

Plain Tales From The Hill
Now is the time that the epidemic of marble-shooting is ravaging the younger schoolboys of Lawrence. But it is not confined to them alone. The other day a junior, two freshmen, and a sophomore—yes, University students—were found playing the sport. Not on the streets or campus, however, but in their room where there was no danger of professionals intervening and breaking them up by engaging them in a game of "keeps."
Quite often in the past the young Romeo who had acquired unto himself a library date found lots of trouble in killing time until the fair Juliet had spent enough time in the library and was ready to go, er, nw... He had been longer than he could go down the Hill for a coke or idly peruse dull magazines.
There's no light in the men's slouk room of Spooner any more, and so the dater goes into the library, hangs up his hat, and escorts the datee into the reading room. Then he returns and begins a search in the dark for his mother, but by now he found it, the lady is ready to go down the Hill.
A freshman had an idea this morning, "Say," he whispered to a neighboring student as the instructor was entering a flunk in his black-covered book, "is that book called a roll book because it has grades in it?"
"No." returned the student against whom the flunk was written. "It's called a grade book because it catches all the slides."
If the other students of the University feel sorry for the Laws who attend classes Saturdays as well as other days, the felling is not shared by the School of Law, instructors say. The plan has proved a success, they say.
A month before the other schools leave the Hill, members of the School of Law will be feeling dust between their toes back on the farm or hugging some office stool. The last quarter of the year for them starts next Saturday.
The freshman women have made a report on how they spend their time. But here's a way one University man reckons his 168 hours a week.
Active exercise: 18 hours
Inactive exercise: 50 hours. Here the man includes those hours spent in taking notes on a class lecture while sleeping.
Climbing the Hill: 12 hours
Chasing his hat: 6 hours.

Marco Morrow Calls Ad Men Public Buyers At Journalist Banquet
Leading Kansas Advertising Genius Puts Up Progressive Ideals For Profession
Recites Rotarian Prayer
Fred Rigby's Associated Families Eat and Listen Hard Under Newsroom Lights
"Time was when the advertising man took his selling orders from the big distributer and put stuff out to the public; time is now and increasingly hereafter that this ad. man will look out for his community's advantageous buying." This is the gist of Marrow Morro's interpretation of his function today as he gave it straight form to the Associated Journalists at their first annual dinner in the Kansan newsroom Wednesday night.
Mr. Morrow, advertising manager of the Topeka Capital, came as a swift and sudden substitute for Jay House who could not get away "nohow." He opened with the first thing that all journalists ask—with a question he had asked him just yesterday after having much can I make at it?" And Mr. Morrow said that that sort of man had no business in the profession.
Then he launched into what was expected of the modern advertising man as contrasted to what the advertising job took for in cash remuneration to self.
ADVERTISING REAL DISTRIBUTING
ADVERTISING REAL DISTRIBUTING "The public has got to pay to be educated," said Mr. Morrow. "The utility, necessity, and economy of a new product must have returns on what the advertisement costs. But after that—the advertising man has no ethical right to pat over which the public has to pay for at its end. After the right product is known it does not need to double its price per unit for advertising purposes.
"Theforet advertising today is merchandising," continued Mr. Morrow. "It has a definite place in the field of distribution and its cost must be charged to distribution and be incorporated into proper proportion to the whole cost of production from raw product to finished article in the hands of the consumer."
REDUCE COST TO CONSUMERS
The production potential of the United States Mr. Marrow declared unquestionable. The whole problem involved on distribution and in the settlement of this he insisted that the advertising man study the needs of consumers, act as buyers for them, guide them to advantageous purchase of the best goods for purposes designated. He recently persuaded a Commercial Club to call itself a Community Club and one of the members ironically advised him to build an ideal town of his own where ad. men could afford to be purchasing agent for a community. Mr. Morrow declined the idea and said with the fact that the ad. man has got to do this or be called an unpleasant name in the community, a name it is not good business to possess.
Public confidence in its own representative, the advertising man, would in Mr. Morrow's opinion, enlarge the field and intensify the economies of advertising and reduce the cost of distribution to its minimum. And that object he stated as the goal for his profession.
In conclusion he recited the Rotarian prayer which he wrote in verse for the Rotarians some time ago. It is about the business man asking the gods that he be neither greedy nor beggerly, but rather that he be enlightened to take his share of the world's wealth and to take hisakes, and in giving deliver to the other fellow just a little more than the other fellow ever got before.
DAILY KANSAN ANNEX
Professor Flint preceded Mr. Morrow with a few words in behalf of the department of journalism in which he reminisced a bit and prophesied some more, especially in regard to the "Daily Kanax Annex" as the fitting approximate to the name given the place of publication for the world's greatest newspaper—"The New York Times Annex."
Cora Sha, c'17, will visit at the Chi Omega house over Sunday.
