Superior Teamwork Gives Tiger Quintet First Game of Series
Jayhawkers Took Early Lead But Could Not Hold
Uhrlaub's Work Featured
Missouri Used Short Fast Passes And Kansas Guarding Was Poor
Missouri defeated Kansas last night in the first game of the two game series, 36-22. The short passing game of the Tigers had the Jayhawkers dazed and although Coach Hamilton's men took the lead after half an hour, the Rams began smooching in the second half and jumped to a safe lead.
matthus scored first from the field after two minutes of play and Uhrlauk followed with another. After Ruby had tossed a free throw for the first Missouri score, Miller found the basket for Kansas and Captain Uhrlauk added a free throw. Captain Campbell scored the first Tiger field goal a minute later and Ruby tossed another free throw, but goals by Matthews and Uhrlauk gave the Jayhawkers a big lead. Just before the end of the half, however, the Tiger quintet spurted and a trio of fast under-the-basket shots tied the score at 12-12. Shirkey's free throw as the period closed gave Missouri the lead for the first time, 13-12.
TIED ON SECOND HALF
Dutch Uhriab brought the count to a tie at the beginning of the second half with a free throw but here Missouri's teamwork began to assert itself. The Tiger forwards worked the ball into Kansas territory time after time with their lightning-like short passes and an avalanche of field goals resulted. Counters by Campbell, Ruby and Shirkley came in rapid succession and Coach Hamilton put Fearing and Mandevile into the game in an effort to stem Missouri's scoring. Kansas rallied temporarily and Fearing scored.
Urbiah's free throws, coupled with short goals by Miller and Mathews, made the K. U. score complete.
Wild passing lost the Jayhawkers a number of chances to score, as the Tiger guards intercepted Kansas passes and turned them into Missouri field goals. Free throws by Shirkey, along with goals by Ruby and Campbell, brought the Tiger total up to thirty-six.
TIGER USE GOOD TEAMWORK
Brianlain's free throwing was the only feature of the Kansas play and the Jayhawk captain tossed seven baskets in eight chances. The Crimson and Blue quintet did not play the close guarding game in the second Aggie contest, and the men seemed unable to break up the short passes of the Columbia basketkeepers.
Missouri's teamwork in the second half was the best exhibition seen in Robinson gymnastium this year. Ruby, right forward, played a fast game on the floor and his one-handed shots in the second half were a feature of the game. Caption Camps' also showed well at goal shooting for the Titers.

France Is Looking To United America's Help For Ultimate Victory
American Mothers Do Not Show Spirit of Sacrifice of the Friend
French
"If America had failed to come into this war, she would have been dishonored forever, and when you would sing those words of your national anthem, 'the home of the brave,' the whole world would have laughed. While the army of France was fighting at the Marne, Ypres, and Verdun, it was looking to the United States to come to its aid."
With these words, Lieut. Paul Perigord of the French army expressed the attitude of France 'ward the United States. Lieutenant Perigord spoke in Fraser Hall Monday morning at 8 o'clock.
"France looks on the United States as her spiritual child. The message of the boys in the trenches is for America to become *r* united people. All must be united. It is essential that everybody belong to only one party during the war, the party of victory.
The speaker deplored the fact that many American mothers are thankful they have no sons to give for their country. He told of a French mother who had just lost her fourth son, who kissed the flag and said, "I have given all, and the flag is now my only love." Americans must sacrifice greatly, he said, in order to win the war.
"General Pershing, probably the greatest soldier of the war, the French regard as the greatest orator of the war, because of what he whispered when he leamed over the tomb of Lafayette; his words were 'Lafayette, we are here.'"
The shipment of books sent to Company M by the University at Christmas has just been received, according to a letter from Capt F. E. Jones to Chancellor Strong. The books were sent by freight.
When the war began, Lieutenant Percigord was in the United States as a professor in a Catholic seminary at St. Paul. He went to France and enlisted as a private. He was promoted because he led his company successor, William L. Browne, officers had been killed. In his subsequent service, he has been decorated for bravery three times, and has received several wounds.
The regular Tuesday night meeting of the Commerce Club has been postponed indefinitely for this week. Look for further notice this week.

This includes men and women students in the School of Law, School of Engineering, School of Fine Arts, School of Medicine and the School of Pharmacy. If these students fail to enroll in the department of physical education before tomorrow night they will be reported to their deans," W. O. Hamilton of the department of physical education announced this morning.
Students who were exempted from drill last semester must put in a new application this semester before Thursday night. All exemption claims must be in the office at the gymnasium at that time.
Baseball men will be divided into squads and given some form of exercise until out door work can be had. All who enrolled for baseball will report to Coach Bond in the gymnasium tomorrow afternoon. The department plans to form squads for drill from the baseball men and keep their organization intact until they can start baseball practice. The same arrangements will be made for spring football and track.
The enrollment in the department of physical education shows a great decrease in the number enrolling for military drill this semester. Only fifty per cent of the men are taking military drill and gymnasm work. The two and four o'clock drill hours are equal in popularity this semester.
"The students will be checked from the registration books in the registrar's office and no one will get out of enrolling in the department this semester," said Mr. Hamilton.

Research work in the doctrine that everything in nature is ordered for the best has been carried to the extreme by one man at K. U. who just now is capitalizing the rise in hair cuts. When hair cuts were still two twobits this young financier got one every week. Now that they are 35 cents he has his hair cut every two weeks. Thus every month he saves thirty cents. His present trouble, though, is knowing what to do with the money.

Work On Tearing Down North College Starts
Work on tearing down old North College has begun. Already the flooring and woodwork have been removed, and it is planned to carry on the work steadily to completion.
Bids for the destruction of the building were opened last Thursday at which time five or six were presented. C. A. Colvin of Lawrence had the best bid, and the contract was let to him. He offered $100 for the building as it stands. The lowest bidder asked that the state pay him $800 for the removal of the building.
New Entomology Course
The department of entomology is offering a new course, "Introductory Entomology II," open to all student of the College who have had Course I or its equivalent. At the close of the term those best fitted will be selected to report on crop and entomological conditions in their various localities. At the outbreak of the war, the head of the department was selected by the United States Department of Agriculture as one of the collaborator and students of the department wi be given an opportunity next summer to assist in this work.
Irene Then, who was a sophomore in the College two years ago, and who has been teaching at Andale, arrived in Lawrence yesterday to continue her work in the University.
College Has Decrease Of Several Hundred Students This Term
School of Engineering Also Falls Off But Laws May Show Increase
Sixty-five New Enrollments
Illness May Have Kept Some From Enrolling—Must Wait Till Saturday Now
A decrease of several hundred students in the enrollment of the College for the second semester was found yesterday afternoon when the offices in the gymnasium closed at 5 o'clock and only 1282 students had enrolled out of the 1507 that were in the College last semester. Sixty-five students failed to attend for this semester and the majority of this number will be in the College, but this does not account for the sudden decrease.
The total enrollment in the School of Engineering will not be known for several days. However indications show now that there will be a slight decrease in the number of men. Enrollment in the School of Law shows a slight increase, even over that of the semester although the exact increase is not known.
There are a few students who are out of school on account of smallpox and measles or suffering from the effects of vaccination and there are many students who went home over the vacation and did not get back in time to enroll yesterday. These students will not be allowed to enroll to college and they do so. All enrollment was supposed to have been completed yesterday and there was plenty of time allowed for every student to get enrolled.
No grades were given out yesterday and it will be a week and a half or possibly longer before they will be issued. It will all depend on the time required by the professors in turning in their grades to the registrar. Many students were unable to take their final examinations because of sickness and these must be given before the students can enroll.
Debate Squads Work For Spring Contests
Three Teams Combat Missouri,
Colorado and Oklahoma
In Spring
The debate squads are beginning work in earnest for the University debates this spring. A debate will be held with Missouri and also a triangular debate with Colorado and Oklahoma. There will be no Nebraska-Kansas debate this year. The teams will be chosen later from these squads. The Missouri-Kansas question is:
"Resolved, that the terms of settlement of this war should include a League to Enforce Peace."
The squad working on this subject is composed of Harold R. Hall, Deane W. Mallott, D. H. Putney, and George R. Blake. The debate will be held here, probably some time in April. The Oklahoma-Colorado-Kansas debate will be on the subject; "Resolved, that the federal courts of the United States should be deprived of the power to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional."
The squad having this question is composed of Marjorie Beane, George Melvin, Robert Albach, Edward S. Mason, Otto E. Hopfer, E. G. Smith, William H. Wilson, Herman. Hangen, and Paul Schmidt. Colorado will come here and Kansas will go to Oklahoma. The debate will be March 8.
Wilson and Schmidt debated for the University last year but the others are inexperienced in college debates. Howard T. Hill of the department of public speaking has charge of the work of the squads.
