Jayhawkers Brush Up Faults In Preparation For Iowans This Week
Coach Hamilton's Men In Fine Shape After Game With Soldiers
Dope Gives Kansas Victory
Although Outweighed by Team From Funston, Varsity Outplayed Opponents
Work will begin this afternoon for, the opening games of the conference basketball season with Ames here Thursday and Friday. Coach Hamilton's men are in fine shape after defeating the Camp Funston quintet last Thursday and hope to win both games from the Iowa farmers.
The form displayed by Kansas against Funston came as a pleasant surprise to many of the team's supporters and the teamwork on the whole was good. The Crimson and Blue, however, lost a number of chances to add to their score through wild passing and reckless goal shooting. The men will work hard to remedy these faults this week.
One of the features of the Funston game was the great amount of fight showed by every one of the Kansans. The Jayhawkers, outweighed by a big margin, really outplayed the soldiers. For this reason, Coach Hamilton's men had at least twice as many trials at goal as did the army men.
While Kansas apparently has the edge in the coming series with Ames, the Iowa have been playing thus far without the services of Morgan, their captain, and when they put their full strength in the field, they are sure to give the Varsity a battle.

Knitted Garments To Be Given To Former K.U. Men
Yarn Purchased by Department of Physical Training Ready For Distribution
The Baker University basketball team will play the Haskell five on the latter's court tonight.
The Daily Kansan-a daily letter home.
"The scarfs, helmets, sweaters, and wristlets which are turned in at the Red Cross are to be sent to the soldiers who were former students of K. U.," said Coach Hamilton today. After much delay the yarn purchased by the department of physical education has arrived and is ready for distribution to the students enrolled in the Red Cross classes. Each person who receives yarn will be required to sign a card which will enable the Red Cross department to keep a record of the yarn. The first day upon which the knitted articles are due will probably be March 1.
The women enrolled in the Red Cross classes are enthusiastic in regard to Red Cross work and are faithful in attendance. They are eager to have the new yarn in order that they may begin work inward. During the time they have been awaiting the arrival of Red Cross yarn, many have donated wristlets and scarfs made from yarn which they purchased themselves, while others have spent their time knitting mitts.
SPORT BEAMS
Captain Hawthorne, of the Ames track team, who has won fame in the Missouri Valley and Western Conference as a crack miler and long distance man, is training to run in several of the big eastern meets this spring.
The distribution of yarn is in charge of the department of physical education. It may be secured at the secretary's office.
H. W. Reding, c'11, of the U. S. navy has recently received the commission of ensign, and has been sent to Annapolis for four month's special training.
The State Normal basketball team defeated Cooper College in a lastless game last week, on the Emporia court. The score was 34-13. The Teachers have a game with K. U. for February 22, to be played in Robinson Gymnasium.
It appears that college baseball is still for from dead, despite efforts of many athletic conferences to discontinue it for the period of the war. Baseball practice began at Indiana University, Saturda.

Freshmen basketball teams are unusually strong in the Valley this year. The Kansas Aggies have one of the strongest yearling fives in years, the Drake first year quintet is considered exceptionally good, while the Nebraska fresh recently defeated Donne College, and have a habit of trouncing the Husker Varsity regularly. K. U. is no exception to the rule, either, for the freshmen here have beaten the Varsity, and always have given them a hard fight.
The freshmen are basketball champions at Ottawa University, having defeated the sophomores last week in the final game of the interclass series.
Coach Rutherford's Washington University quintet is going to prove a stumbling block for some of the Valley teams if it continues to travel at the pace it has set. After Missouri had beaten Drake by a mere two point peargin, Washington defeated the Iowans, Saturday night 47-24.
The first bit of real dope on the basketball situation in the Missouri Valley was unlooced Friday night when the Missouri five defeated the Drake Bulldogs at Columbia, Missouri. The score was 19-17, and Drake led until the last few minutes of play. The result of this game makes it certain that the Jayhawkers will be in the race for the title this year, and this is the way it is figured out: Camp Dodge beat Drake by a few points. Missouri won from Drake by two points. Camp Funston gave Camp Dodge a 44-27 drubbing in Kansas City. K. U. defeated the Funstonites by two point margin. Therefore Kansas should make a bid for the title. But Funston played with the loss of three stars here last Thursday.

Frozen Frogs Force Later Experiments
Remember—Nothing Is Reserved But Everything is on sale at greatly reduced prices!
Owing to a shortage of frogs, the Physiology II class has had to change its work and take experiments which had been planned for a few weeks later in the course, until frogs arrive from Chicago. The frogs arrived but were frozen so stiff that Mr. Van Meeseel who has charge of the animal lab had to be transported. Two frogs were borrowed from the department of zoology until experiments on circulation of the frog could be demonstrated.
Now that it is warmer the "froggies" have recovered from their cold shock, and laboratory experiments with them may be resumed.
"Pathologiae Latinae"
Received At Library
An unusually valuable series of books, "Pathologie Latinae," published in 221 volumes, has been added to Spooner Library. All of the works are written in Latin, and they include practically the entire field of Latin literature. The series is published by Fennessey Press. The library is said to be fortunate to obtain the books at this time, when so little publishing is done in France.
The books occupy too much space
'n the Latin Seminar, and will be located in the general library. They are especially useful to students who are pursuing various lines of research work.
