Prof. Hill Announces Date of Debates With Oklahoma and Colorado
Only One Veteran In This Year's Squad, But New Material Is Good
The triangular debate with Oklahoma and Colorado will be March 8, according to final arrangements made by Prof. Howard T. Hill with those two universities. The date of the Missouri debate has not been set, but it probably will be in the last week of March.
Fifteen debaters chosen at the try-out last week will start work before the Christmas vacation. In January they will begin holding regular practices in preparation for the final contest. The nine men who will represent the University will be chosen shortly before the time of the debates.
The subject for the triangular debate is, "Resolved, That the Federal Government will deal with Deprived of the Power to Declare Acts of Congress Unconstitutional," Kansas will take the affirmative of this question here against Colorado, and the negative with Oklahoma at the same time. The bill will be composed of three men.
Kansas will debate against Missouri on the question: "Resolved, That the Terms of Settlement of This War Should Include a League to Enforce Peace." The sides on this question have not been decided upon.
"Much interest is being shown in debating this year as is shown by the large number to try out for the team," said Professor Hill, coach of the debating squad. "Only one old debater is out but many new men showed up exceptionally well in the preliminaries. 'Are team this year will be up to the usual high standard of Kansas debating teams."
Kansas won the debate with Mis souri last year, but lost the triangular debate.

Something he'd like, something that wouldn't upset his stomach and that might keep him from feeling lonesome the occasional hours off duty.

In fact, many English, suggests the following list of books to pick from in choosing a soldier's Christmas present:

High-heeled Shoes Injure Men's Feet!
"The men as well as the women are having trouble with their feet since the military drill has been established," said a nurse at the University hospital this morning. The doctors advise low-heeled shoes, with wide toes and a straight line on the inside of the shoe.
Army shoes have already become popular with the men students as they find they can do better drill work and keep their feet in much better condition. The hospital authorities advise that the women also will see the necessity of keeping the feet healthy and will wear "common sense" shoes.

Students Above Average Psychology Tests Show
TOMORROW
Dockeray's Examinations Give Those In College High Standing—Some Are Perfect
MAE MURRAY IN "PRINCESS VIRTUE"
College students are of considerably more than average intelligence. This conclusion is to be drawn from tests made by Professor F. C. Dockeryer of the department of psychology. The tests which he has received account of the student and not the amount of training which he has received.
A hundred and fifty students of the University of Kansas have been tested. On a basis of one hundred as normal average intelligence the grades of the students run from 90 to 122 which is perfectly acceptable. Of those tested at least a dozen have had a perfect grade. Only six go as low as 99.
The estimated average for those tested is slightly more than 113. Professor T. H. Roberts students with the grades of the students at the end of the semester.
Track Team Prospects Pick Up As 1918 Season Of Actual Work Starts
Much Promising Material Returns From Last Season's Squad—No Captain Yet
Pat Murphy, half-miler; Carl Rice, high jumper; and Joe Casey, hurdler and weight man, are some of the veterans back but with the material from last year's freshman squad, the team should be well in the running.
Prospects for a winning track team are not at all disheartening. Although the team is weakened by the loss of Captain Dorman O'Leary, it is strengthened by the addition of Marshall Haddock who does the sprints, shot and discus in good fashion.
The following is a list of the men who have shown ability in track work, according to Fred Rodkey, who is assisting Conn. Rodkey at Notre Dame; sprites; Haddock, Swartz, and Lobaugh; quarter-mile, Shreve, R, Rodkey, Murphy, and Russel, an ex-Baker athlete; distance, Pat Murphy, Dan McCall, Hanna Brown, Buffington, and Dewall, who took fourth in the Missouri Valley cross country meet at Manhattan,
