Kansas Easily Beats Pikers In First Game By Score of 51 to 22
Jayhawkers Take Lead In Firs Minute of Play And Holds It
Uhrlaub Scores 15 Points
Marquard Makes Over Half Of Washington's Points—Dribbling a Feature
The Jayhawkers came back strong last night after the two defeats at the hands of Missouri and played rings around the Washington University quintet, winning by a 51-22 score. Kansas took the lead at the beginning of the game and had no trouble in holding it throughout. Washington's basket shooting was woefully weak, especially in the second half when the St. Louis team missed a number of easy shots.
Captain Uhrlaub started the game by caging a field goal in the first minute of play. Duncker evened the count with a short goal but a pretty shot by Miller sent the Jayhawkers into the lead. Marquard tossed a free throw and this was followed by an avalanche of goals by the Crimson and Blue quintet. Uhrlaub counted twice in quick succession and Scrubby Laslett brought the spectators to their feet by dribbling through the whole Piker team and dropping the ball through the iron hoop.
After Marquard, the tall Washington center, had tossed a pair of free throws, Matthews and Bunn found the basket for Kansas, followed by a long goal by Benway, the second field goal of the game for Washington. Miller, Laslett and Uhrlau added counters for Kansas just before the end of the half and the Jayhawkers lead. 30-12 as the period closed.
Marquard's free throwing continued to be the main source of Washington's scoring in the second half. After the tall center had registered with two free throws, Miller and Uhrlub hit the basket and the Kansas captain added a free throw. Matthews brought cheers from the crowd with a long shot from mid-court and Benway followed with a beautiful goal from the center of the floor.
At this period of the game, Coach Hamilton sent in an almost entirely new team of Jayhawkers and Coach Rutherford took the opportunity to insert three fresh Pilkers into the lineup. The game was slowed up considerably from this point and was marked by ragged work on the part of the pitchers. Ulrich, Miller and Matthews tossed the final Kansas goals and baskets at Benway and Russell finished the scoring for Washington.
Every regular played good basketball for the Jayhawkers and Dutch Uhrlau, playing guard, was the high score man with fifteen points to his credit. Miller bagged six field goals and tied for second place in individual scoring with Marquard of Washington, who tossed twelve free throws. Close guarding by Laslett and Ulrich made a big factor in keeping the Piker score down. Benway starred on the floor for Washington and was responsible for three of the five goal goals made by the St. Louis quintet.

Referee—E. C. Quigley, St. Mary's
SPORT BEAMS
The jerseys of the Jayhawkers and Pilkers were so nearly alike that Referee Quigley called time after a few minutes of play and the K. U. five changed from the Crimson and Blue uniforms to pants for the Kansan to help the Kansan't too, for the team immediately secured a big lead.
Marquard of Washington had thrown twenty-three free throws in the last two games. He leads the Valley basketeers in this respect.
The game last night contained several exhibitions of remarkable dribbling. Laslett and Uhlraub starred in this respect for Kansas and Benway's floor work was the feature of the Washington offensive.
The Oklahoma University quintet established a near record for scoring when they awamped the Southeastern Normal School five Friday night, 116-13. On the following night, the fast Oklahomaans again smothered the Normal team, this time by a 96-19 count.
Helen Barnett, who has been playing forward in the women's freshman basketball team, is doing some excellent work this season. She received her training on the Rosedale high school team which won first place in the High School Tournament held at Lawrence in 1916 and second place in 1917.
The most popular form of exercise among the men students who are taking gymnasium is military drill in which 279 are enrolled. Regular gymnasium exercise comes next with an enrollment of 200 men. The class in wireless has a very large number enrolled although the exact report has not as yet been included in the program and about forty are taking wrestling and boxing. Fourteen want spring foot-pall.
Military Drill Popular
All members of the junior class are urged to get their glosses in to the Jayhawker office immediately. Also we ask for contributions, humorous or otherwise, to the Junior section as we wish to make this section one of the most complete of the Jayhawker.

Women Planning To Play Intramural Basketball
This New Phase In Women's Sports Will Be Given a Trial This Spring
A new and interesting phase in women's sports will be given a trial this spring. After the interclass basketball series is finished, which will probably be Saturday, Febrary the regular series of games will be played.
Prof. Stevens Will Do War Research Work
Prof.W. C. Stevens of the department of botany has been given a year's leave of absence beginning January 1, 1918. He had previously been granted a leave of absence for the first semester to study in New York City. How will he answer the research question in an compilation data, describing twenty-five thousand species of economic plants which may be useful in war activity.
teams composed of women from any organized or unorganized group in the University may be entered for these games; or two or more groups may unite to form a team. These games will be played in an elimination contest, the team which wins in the finals being the champion.
A representative chosen from each group wishing to compete should confer with Coach Pratt as soon as possible. The women have shown a great deal of enthusiasm in competing for the title and is hoped that an unusually large number will come out for the next series.
An interclass base ball series will follow the swimming meet, which takes place the later part of March and if the intermural basketball series are successful the same program will be carried out for baseball.
In the work for the remainder of his leave, Professor Stevens will have an office in New York City and will obtain data from the Columbia University Library. He will work with Dr. E. M. east, Chairman of the Raw Products Committee of the National Research Council.
Members of the department of botany will take Professors Steven's elementary classes and several ad-hoc classes, but will not be offered this semester.
It is probable that Professor Stevens will return to teach during the Summer Session, of 1918. All of his courses will be listed regularly in the announcements of the Summer Session and will be given if possible.

JUNIORS!
should have their pictures taken for the "Jayhawker" immediately. Phone Squires, 517, for an appointment, today!
The Little Theatre in Green Hall has seen a great many different actors in its day. In the numberless nights of practice there, Love-lorn youths have stalked across its footlights, villains of the most horrible type have brandished wicked knives sweet maidens have sided in the role of the wings and crudely gentlemen have walked round with a cane.
Little Theater Becomes Scene of War Activities
But the Little Theatre is seeing new sights these nights. For the cast for "The Checkmate," the dramatic Club play to be given at the Bowersock Theatre, Wednesday, Feb. 15 through March 23, three nights a week in Green Hall.
Spies of German accent and descent move among the characters of the play; they sometimes are detected and the entire cast becomes excited when someone says, "You're a German." The spies use wireless apparatus and submarines to accomplish their purposes; the buzz of the wireless can be heard somewhere behind the stage.
All these items, small but necessary are being worked out in detail by the stage manager, Lewis Hull, and the director, Prof. Arthur MacMurray and use will be made of them on the night of the play.
Make-up finals in Medieval and Greek History under Prof. D. L. Patterson will be given Saturday morning from 10 to 12 o'clock, in Room 203 Administration building.

This Year You Will Want A "JAYHAWKER"
WELL, THIS is the TIME.
You've said to yourself—to your friends—"Some time I will get an Annual." WELL THIS is the TIME.
It's a beautiful book—this Liberty Bell annual of 1918. It's patriotic from cover to cover, full of the spirit of the times, and a wonderful memento of the University of Kansas during this first War Year.
It is more than a mere annual; it is a complete record of the year's events, viewed in the light of the extraordinary times in which we are living.
Four hundred pages, every one chock full of interesting material concerning the University, the classes, the athletic contests, our campus activities, and the organizations—such a description only begins to tell of the wonders of the book.
An extensive military section, with records of K. U. men in the service. . . a humor section that surpasses any in past annuals. . . art work that is positively magnificent. . . a sixteen page view section, printed in colors, of new views of the University, never before used in a "Jayhawk", an eight page "Kansas Girl" section, with photographs of the fairest, most popular girls on the Hill. . . hundreds of
snapshots and cartoons of student life. These are only a few of the "Jayhawker's" many features.
The whole is bound in heavy beveled boards, covered with maroon Moorish Leather, stamped in gold leaf, with blind embossing on the vides and backbone. The binding is securely taped to the book, insuring that the volume will hold together perfectly, even under the strain of constant use.
The Junior Section
The Junior Section will be held open until February 28. Third year students who want their photographs in this section should have the pictures taken before February 23. Men who will shortly become of draftage, or who do not expect to be back next year, should take advantage of this opportunity to have their picture in a "Jayhawk."
The Sophomore Section will also be held open until February 28. This section will be much larger than any sophomore section previously carried in a "Jayhawker." Second year students will want their photographs in it.
Watch for the Jayhawker "Kansas Girl Contest" next month.
