Jayhawkers Returned From Disastrous Trip Losing 3 of 4 Games
Coach Hamilon's Men Lost One and Took One in Missouri Clash
Kansas used the same lineup against the Pikers as was used against Missouri in the final game. Captain Uhrlaub and Miller played the forward positions, Matthews was at center and Scrubby Laslett and Knoles held down the defensive positions. The Jayhawkers, as has been the case in nearly all of their games, played good basketball in the first part of the Washington games, only to lose their lead in the second half.
Shifted Lineup Beat Tigers
Kansas held her lead for only a few minutes in the second contest with the Pikers. Russell and Duncker, Washington forwards, along with Marquard, the tall center, caged goals and topped the Jayhawk lead, and the rest of the game was a runaway. Benway, the little forward who played so well in the seris here, got into the game in time to score three goals from the field and assist his team greatly in the victory. Marquard, as usual, was the heaviest scorer, with eight field goals and two free throws to his credit.
Coach Hamilton's Jayhawk player basketball team returned yesterday from one of the most disastrous road trips a Kansas team has made in recent years. After playing great basketball against the Tigers in the second game at Columbia, Thursday night, and handing Coach Meanwell's proteges their only defeat of the year, the Crimson and Blue quintet played to its reputation by spurs the pair of games to the Washington University Pikers on the St. Louis court. The Jayhawks lost the first contest by a margin of over fifteen points and the score in the second game was 32-18.

The Jayhawkers will rest this week before taking on the Aggies in Manhattan next week for the final-series of the year.
SPORT BEAMS
Marquard of Washington didn't live up to his reputation in tossing free throws in the second Jayhawk-piker game. The St. Louis center threw only two goals in seven chances.
The Kansas Aggies made it two straight wins from Ames Saturday when they defeated the Iowa farmers to the tune of 22-18. Both teams had the same number of field goals, but the Kansans won out on free throws.
The Haskell Indian relay team has been matched with the quartet of quarter milers from William Jewel college for the big K. C. A. C. meet in Kansas City March 2.
Cargill Sproull, one of the best milers in the Missouri Valley last year and a member of the Jayhawker track team for the past three years, has been ordered to report at Urbana, Illinois, on March 2, to begin training for aviation.
Probably what will be the deciding series in the race for the basketball championship of the Missouri Valley will be played in Manhattan Wednesday and Thursday between the Aggies and the Missouri Tigers. Each team has lost one game and in each case the one loss has been to the Jayhawkers, while the Tigers have eleven wins to their credit and the Aggies have nine.
Joie Ray, the celebrated distance runner of the Chicago Athletic Club, and Schultz, star dash man of Missouri and holder of the Valley record last year in the hundred yard dash, will be entered in the K. C. A. C. meet March 2.
Engineers Meet in Marvin The Kansas branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers held its regular meeting at Marvin Hall last night. Three papers were read: "Description of the Keoku Hydro-electric Plant" by George Bowman, "Hydro-electric Development in the United States," by Howard Whistler, and "Description of the Topeka Edison Plant," by R. A. Warner. Seniors will report on their theses at later meetings of the institute.
German Gas Attacks New
At K. U.? Certainly Not
Sophomores Back in 1884 Made Successful Raid on Junior Festival
Gas attacks new? Why certainly not! University students discovered the usefulness of gases long before the Germans ever thought of such a thing. Evidences of this can be seen on the columns at the entrance of Spooner Library. More than thirty years ago, back in the early 80's one of the favorite stunts of the students was to break up the class parties.
In 1884 the junior class gave a party in Spooner Library on the second floor. The sophomores were excluded so they decided to make a gag attack on the snobbish juniors. After the party was in full swing some sophomores arrived upon the scene, ready for action. They poured carbon disulphide around the entrance of their hallway. This was almost as effective as any attack ever made by the Germans. It didn't entirely break up the party but according to Prof. E. F. Stimpson, it certainly added spice.
At this time the second floor of Spooner was unoccupied. The decorations were the same as now, with a different lighting system, however. Taking it as a whole it made an ideal place to hold social functions. One of the present seminar rooms at the west end of the floor was used as a kitchen and serving room and the other as a dressing room.
It was here student and faculty receptions were held. The faculty at his time was composed of about twelve members, and there were only a few hundred in the student body.
Coach Pratt Asks for Entries in Basketball
Representatives of teams may sign now for entrance to the women's intertermal basketball tournament. Coach Hazel Pratt wants each representative to enter their team as soon as possible so that she can arrange the hours for practice, which will begin next week.
John A. Montgomery, former sports editor of the Daily Kansas, has been made city editor of the Lawrence Journal-World, and will begin his work in that capacity today, taking the place of Gilbert Swenson, a student in the department of journalism last year, who has resigned as city editor of the Journal-World to accept a job on the Kansas City Star.
Any organized or unorganized group of women in the University may make up a team eligible for entrance to the tournament.

High Art Camouflage
Makes Museum Trees
When it comes to real camouflage, the trees in Dyche Museum can hold their own, quite probably, with most anything on the French front. Tall, magnificent trees they seem—until C. D. Bunker, assistant curator of the museum, betrays their real nature. Since the large cement supporting pillars of the museum were not desirable in a forest scene they were converted into trees. Around each pillar was built a frame work of wood, then upon this wood handfuls of cement plaster mixed with straw pulp were thrown. By means of stick and hand it was scratched, pressed, and patted into bark-like form and allowed to dry. Result, a tree, to all appearances, but don't look behind it for it merely puts up a good front.
On the banks of the museum pond which provides a home for some hundred or more goldfish are five or six small trees each in full leaf. Each tree has from a thousand to two thousand leaves, each of these leaves has been dried, cured and painted with coats of yellow or green paint and spotted with brown. Each leaf is separately wired to its respective twig and the wire covered with wax. Ten thousand leaves, think of it and then think of having to make them sometime when you are all crabby because you are sick of the monotony of the work.
Classic Teachers To Confer
The association of classical departments of secondary and higher schools of Kansas and western Missouri will meet here April 20. Prof. J. G. Brandt of the department of Greek, is secretary of the association. A conference with members of the department of English will be held this afternoon, and plans for consolidating the meeting with an English teachers' conference will be discussed.

War Council Hesitant On Wooden Bird Plan
Although through their chairman, Prof. G. C. Shaad, the Finance Committee of the University War Council will announce next Monday their plans for the Baby Bond campaign, they are not ready yet to use the suggested plan of rivalling the wooden von Hindenburg with a wooden Jayhawker. Drive a nail for a dime and see the dime go towards the cost of way — is the big idea in the wooden bird plan. Professor Shaad said that the proposition had by no means been discarded, however, and that it might be carried out after the serious inception of the campaign was over.

Ice Cream-A Food
Read this statement of Hoover on Ice Cream:
By rescinding edicts of local food administrators who suggested an "ice creamless" day, the Hoover food administration is encouraging the public to eat more ice cream and less bacon and other fatty foods needed by the troops in France. According to government experts the milk supply of this country is ample for all needs at home and abroad. Other foods, notably bacon, which furnish heat and fatty units, must be conserved in the interests of the American army—Washington Post.

The Red Cross applies advertising
LAST March the Red Cross wanted 150,000 new members in Chicago. The membership committee, being directed by capable business men, naturally, looked toward advertising to accomplish their purpose.
And $25,000 was expended for newspaper publicity.
The result was as usual-advertising played more than the necessary part-for when the returns were finally counted their constructive campaign had brought 400,000 additional members.
