UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
COACH EXPECTS 500 HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS
Sixty Girls' and Boys' Basket ball Teams Compete for State Honors
That the tenth annual Interscholastic Basketball Tournament for Kansas high schools, in Robinson Gymnastics Friday and Saturday, promises to be a great experience, the history of the tournaments, is the opinion of Mcr. W. O. Hamilton.
Fifty-nine entries had been received in the manager's office before noon today. This in itself would make the tournament much larger than last year's game, but it has expected today and tomorrow. All entries had to be mailed before midnight Saturday night to be accepted for this tournament, making it practically impossible for entries to come in without drawings will be made Wednesday.
The problem of caring for the visiting high school students increases as the number of entries increases. With more than five hundred contestants to care for the athletic association will have to call upon the people of Lawrence to inhouate the students on Saturday nights, Coaches, managers and visiting teachers will swell the number of visitors to one thousand.
Manager Hamilton believes five hundred or more high school basketball players will be here for the tournament, besides a large number of other high school pany their team. In addition to the basketball tournament, the second annual Typewriting Contest for high school students and the fourteenth annual Conference Yor Kansas High Schoolademies will be held on the same days.
Many of the high school students who will be here for the tournament are prospective students of the University, and Manager Hamdon said that they would enjoy the University so they will want to come to K. U. when they -graduate from the high schools.

Wilson, W. M. Duffus of the University.

WASHBURN MAY ESTABLISH
MILITARY TRAINING SYSTEM
Plans are under way for the establishment of a system of military training at Washburn College. President Womer of that school is in favor of the scheme, and will consult the board of trustees about the matter.
The State Geological Survey of Kansas dates back to 1864, when the legislature appropriated funds for an examination of the mineral resources of the state and appointed Garland C. Swallow state geologist.
Adj. Gen. Charles I. Martin made a short talk to some of the students recently, in which he advised them to take up the artillery branch of the service, and also gave them instruction officers' training corps, which would be under the instruction of a regular army officer if the enlistment exceeded fifty men.
The use of fine brick, tile, and fire proof structural material in the western Mississippi basin is gradually increasing. Kansas has unlimited resources in the raw products which are used in the manufacture of these materials.
SPRUCE UP! WOMEN TO CHOOSE AN APOLLO
Rivals Vanity Fair Contest
Yes, many noticed a general sprucing up. Now, it was expected of the twenty-seven contestants in the Vanity Fair contest, but who thought the practical democratic Kansas man would let his vanity lead him into spending an extra hour a day on his tie and trousers and another hour strutting before the glass to acquire an attractive stride.
You see it happened this way, a certain professor asked several women to look around for an ideal K. U. man, a physical ideal that is, and turn the person's name in to him next Tuesday. A man in the class told the men trying out for baseball and it was all over the Hill in an hour.
Men were conspicuous by their absences in afternoon classes, gas pressure reached its minimum, the new spring stock of ties was sold out and the barbers fell from exhaustion but there appeared on the Hill in the morning, sharply creased trousers, bright eyes and rosy, smooth countenances; the content for the ideal was on.
CAMPUS CUTTERS HOPELESS
Barbed Wire Entanglements Couldn't Stop Ramblings Over Campus, Shea
John M. Shea says that after long observation and careful study of the habits of campus cutters, he has concluded that campus cutting is a hopeless and incurable habit which, once formed, sticks to the victim closer than the opium, rum, or cigarette blend. These forces might help in correcting this evil, he appeared somewhat skeptical as to the efficiency of such a device.
"A barbed wire fence," said Mr. Shea, "would be no bar to a confirmed campus cutter; however we are going to do all that is possible this spring to transform the campus into a landscape gardener f1m Kansas City has been engaged to touch up the campus from the east side of Snow Hall to the east side of the campus and around the Museum and Spooner Library. He will also provide various other efforts to frustrate the habits of the campus cutter."
No Contracts Made
No definite plans have been made by the Dramatic Club to give the play "Under Cover" in Kansas City. When played here, "Under Cover" failed to make expenses. Members of the cast believe that if the play is put on in Kansas City, they will make it large enough to make up deficits and to contribute something to the Student Loan Fund.
A new topographic map has recently been made of the southeastern portion of Kansas included in the Columbus quadrangle. The work was done by the U. S. Geological Survey and the may when published will be of very great value to the lead and zinc interests of the region.

The six-cylinder Buick motor car belonging to W. A. McKeever of the Child Welfare department was found abandoned near Eudora Saturday afternoon. Professor McKeever parked the car on the campus just north of Fraser Hall Friday afternoon and went into his office. The man returned to students at the event. Students who were in Green Hall said they had seen two young men drive the car away a half hour before.
When the abandoned car was found the gasoline tank was empty and the speedometer showed it had been driven 180 miles since it had been stolen. Tracks near the car indicated that at least two men and a woman drove the car to the extent of one hundred dollars. Professor McKeever brought the car to Lawrence this morning and is having it repaired.

GEORGIANNA WILSON
The faculty of N. M. U. have recently done away with the old system of grading by percentages, and have adopted an abstract system. That is, instead of giving a student A, B, or C, he is graduated S, G, M, or W, according as to whether he is thought to be superior, good, medium or weak. There are other classes representing the different kinds of failures—Ex.
