Kansas In Third Place In Valley Basketball Play Aggies Next Week
K. S. A. C. Meets Missouri This Week—Each Team Defeated By Jayhawkers
Missouri 11 1 916
Kansas Aggies 9 1 900
Kansas 7 7 583
Washington 6 6 500
Nebraska 1 5 166
Iowa Aggies 1 8 125
Drake 0 6 000
The Jayhawker basketball quintet is resting in third place in the Valley race this week and the team will not get into action until the final series of the year with Coach Clevenger's Kansas Aggies at Manhattan, Monday and Tuesday, March 4 and 5. Coach Hamilton is planning to start the workouts today for the closing series.
One of the most important series of the year begins tonight in Aggieville, when the Tigers clash with the Aggies in the first of a two-game series. Both teams have a defeat against them and in both cases it was the Javhawkers who handed it to them.
The Jayhawkers' position is not secure as the Pikers are threatening to take the third place in the race themselves. They must defeat the Missouri Tigers in the last series of the year for both teams but Kissel is not worrying much about being outstretched from the position.
Kansas will go to Manhattan Monday for the last games, to be played in Nichols gymnasium Monday and Tuesday. The Jayhawkers succeeded in downing the Aggies in one game on Robinson court, in the early part of the season. One Kansas game at Manhattan next week will give the Jayhawkers a firm hold on third place and it may eliminate the Aggies from the championship race.
SPORT BEAMS
Indoor practice for Varsity baseball candidates has been ordered at the University of Michigan. The battery men have been working out for some time and both infielders and outfielders will soon be added to the squad.
Roller skating has been added to the list of indoor sports at Cornell.
Yale is practically assured of a baseball team this year. A full schedule similar to that of last year has been made. The Blue team's big game will be with Princeton.
The crack Minnesota University basketball team defeated Illinois on the Minneapolis court Monday night, 35-22, but in the game Captain Gillen of Minnesota, probably the best forward in the Big Ten conference, suffered a broken collar bone and will be out of the game for the remainder of the season.
A baseball trip will probably be made by the Colgate University nine after the close of school in the middle of May. The weather in New York does not warm up enough to permit early season games and the authorities have decided to allow the team to finish the season after the close of school.
Harvard's informal baseball team will take the diamond this spring against the eastern college and army teams. The Crimson freshmen will play a regular schedule, as usual. No less than twelve candidates recently turned out for the position of manager of the fresh nine.
The Haskell girls basketball team, coached by Captain Dorothy Querfel of the champion senior team at the University, easily defeated the Ottawa sextet Monday night by a 29-13 score.
The W. S. G. A. basketball team has accepted the challenge of the W. A. A Board team for a game at the earliest possible moment.
Advocates School Gardens
The February issue of the "Kansas Municipalities" contains an article by William McKeever of the extension division of the University, on home and school gardening. He suggests school authorities take over the children's vacation gardening as a sort of extension school with young women as personal instructors, while some enthusiastic business man or school principal may be named as general director.

Boxes Ready to Receive Salvage from University
Bring All Tin-foil, Tooth Paste Tubes, Metal Scraps to Fraser and the Gym
The large wooden box in Fraser Hall and the one in the gymnasium are all ready to receive the salvage which University students have been asked to save. Men as well as women should take it upon themselves to see that the boxes are filled several times each week.
The salvage committee of the University asks that students and professors save old electric light globes, tin foil, tooth paste tubes, powder cans, cold cream jars, medicine bottles old fruit jar lids, typewriter ribbon spoils and boxes and all scraps of brass, aluminum, lead or iron which they may have.
This material will be collected and sold to manufacturers to be used again. The money received will be used for the Red Cross or some other war relief work. Thursday is the day for the collection of waste but it may be brought any time.
A committee of one in each sorority and rooming house has been appointed by Lucene Spencer, chairman of the salvage committee, who will be responsible for the collection of all waste in the house.
Rules For Hell Week Too Late For K. U.
There was a young man with a tape measure, and instructions from a college fraternity at Adelbert.
His instructions were to stop everyone with spectacles he met on the street, and to use the tape measure from the spectacles to the ground.
The field of his activities was Euclid-av, near E. 105th st.
Along came a policeman, and it took much talk to keep the policeman from calling the patrol wagon. This is the open season for college sports.
1. First fraternity has ordered its fraternity to collect 50 pennies of the old $1.944.
Another had its freshmen each carry a paving brick to class with him.
A third stationed a freshman in front of the College for Women to give carnations to co-eds.
Each night three or four freshmen are driven to the College for Women campus and made to give a serenade beneath the dormitory windows.
One freshman was stationed on Euclid-av with an old coat. This he was to spread in the mud like Sir Walter Shakespeare did whenever a young woman came lv.
Rules for freshmen posted in one fraternity house read:
Nearly all the secret societies hold their initiations during the next two weeks.
"This fraternity has been placed on a military footing.
"When upper-classmen enter the fraternity house you must stand up and stand at attention until all your superiors are seated.

"Freshmen are not permitted to eat at the same table with upperclassmen.
"Violations of these rules means 25 black marks. On initiation night you will learn what black marks result in""-Cleveland Press.
It's not so. They did not tell the truth, that is, not all of the truth. The boosters of the Bill Board Ball insist on this. They say that the joyous journalists have under cover to be revealed Friday night something entirely different from commonplace, accepted, and forever expected varsly affairs.
Another One Nailed And Ball Rolls on
The new, hitherto and hereafter imitable, original and exclusively unusual gambol of the sisters of Theta Sigma Phi has one thousand four hundred and eighteen surprises hidden away in its possibilities as far as they are tabulated to date. Only one can be old. He is a musician who the Bain Band trapper direct from the biggest and best orchestra in Kansae City. Willard Pierce is his name.
Decorations and events are not to be revealed until the fifty-ninth second of the last minute. The sorority seers in charge have given warning, however, to all sensitive consciences. They say this is to be a sort of resurrection ball and that folks had better look over dead pasts less some skeletons dangle out of closets, mem books, date books, K books, and even out of rare personal diaries. They assure impartiality, deny blackmail, and guarantee thoroughness.
C. L. Williamson, a lecturer who takes as his subject matter wonders of American scenery, will give an illustrated lecture here March 8 at 4 o'clock in Fraser Chapel. His subject will be "America First and the First American."

Where Work and Prices Are Always Right
To Urge New Students
To Study Engineering
Circular letters to 8,000 high school students of the state are to be sent out under the signature of G. C. Shaad, acting dean of the School of Engineering of the University and A. P. Petter dean of Engineering at Kansas State Agricultural College, urging high school students to begin training in engineering after they are graduated from high schools. The necessity of engineers and the great opportunities for those who take up engineering is set out in the letter. High school students will not be allowed to enter the School of Engineering for special training, without finishing their high school course. Several students from different high schools in the state sent in applications for a course in gas engines, on account of their enlistment in the aviation. These students were refused the privilege of taking the courses.
Mrs. E. J. Goppert Killed
