LITTLE NEWS OF AGGIE STRENGTH
Farmers Are Developing New Track Team for K. U. Meet
5
No indication of the strength of the Aggie team which will meet K. U. at Lawrence, February 19, has leaked out of Aggieville. The showing made by the men in the sophomore-freshman class was weak in practically all events. Last year the Aggies were supposed to be strong, but the K. U. team won from them easily, 66 to 19. Teeter, Frizell, and Holyroyd, the best men on last year (team), are not young enough for Aggies now developing a new team.
Most track men took only light work-outs yesterday afternoon on account of the upper track being set for the basketball game last night. Only the wooden boards down stairs were used for the light dash work.
Potsy Clark will time and work the distance men in preparation for the meet with the Kansas Aggies. Coach Hamilton will coach the pole vaulters, high jumpers, and dash men, while Coach Olcott will have charge of the weight men. More weight men were out for work last night to attend other time games. Casey, Vernorsill, and Ziegler were the Varsity candidates working out yesterday. The men were tossing the shot around the 37-foot mark.
Rustenbach, Davidson, and Crowley did the best work in the sprints. Clark started the dash men. Pattinson is slowly rounding into his last season's form. Welsh has not been able to do any track work this week because of an injury to his back which he received while skating Monday.
SPORT BEAMS
Gibbens got a bloody nose at the start of the second half.
Coach Hamilton realized what the men needed, and he had them at work trying to hit the baskets between halves.
No track meet will be held in New York armories this year on account of the break with Germany, as a result of an order given out recently promptly holding of such The armories are now needed for war preparations.
The Jayhawkers are again occupying second place in the race for the Missouri Valley championship. The standing is:
G. W. L. P.
Missouri 6 4 2 .666 2-
Kansas 8 5 3 .625
Aggies 4 2 2 .500
Ames 5 2 3 .400
Nebraska 0 0 0 .000
Drake 1 0 1 .000
Washington 2 0 2 .000
The Jayhawkers will not have any more Missouri Valley games until next Monday and Tuesday when Washington U. comes here for two games. Kansas plays Nebraska Friday and Saturday of next week.
Coach Venne's fast Haskell Indian quintet is scheduled to play the Kansas Wesleyan goal-tossers at eight o'clock tonight in the Haskell gymnasium. Although the Haskell team has been beaten several times this season, they always play a fast, exciting game.
There was also more enthusiastic rooting than for years. The fans simply raised the roof whenever a snowball or Blue goat-oeshed would bag a basket.
Kauder, the midget forward who made himself a hero in a minute in the game Tuesday night, brought an outburst of enthusiasm when he entered the game last night. Although he didn't get to bag a long shot to tie the score, he played a fast aggressive game as guard.
Ernat Uhrlubb also showed a lot of fight and was constantly breaking up the Tiger passes. One of his chief characteristics is that he starts in the game on the run and fights until the whistle ends the game.
Missouri will play Nebraska at Lincoln, Friday and Saturday, while Washington U. plays the Aggies two games at Manhattan the same days.
After a little rest followed by some hard practices, the Jayhawk quintet should be back in its early season form. None of the men are hurt and only need a little rest to be back in their old fighting form.
The largest crowd of Jayhawker fans of the season saw the game last night. Seats were reserved by some on the large steel beams which support the roof of the gymnasium.

Six plays will be presented by Stuart Walker's Portmanteau Theater company in Fraser Hall beginning February 19.

May Meet in Women's Corner
The Women's Corner in Fraser Hall could be satisfactorily used for social meetings for students and faculty of the college, for visits to Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women. Such meetings do not imply faculty supervision as some students might suppose. They would be purely social in nature and of direct influence to students who, otherwise, might come into contact with men and women of note in the University.
Plain Tales from the Hill
"The Fine Arts Building" is the sign painted in letters a foot high on the tool box of laborers on the rock pile near the Administration building.

L. Banker, of Russel, who is enrolled in the Merchant's Short Course this week said his first visit to the Hill was made in 1878. "The walk from the old Eldridge House to the top of the hill seemed long then when there were almost no houses between the two." Mr. Banker has sent two of his children to be educated at K. U. since that time.
Herbert Rose, e '18, who contributes to the Kansan under the name "H. R.", has withdrawn from school to accept a position with the Western University at home in Rowe, New Mexico. He sails into return to school next fall.

NAISMITH STARTS NEW STYLED GAME
Women's Gymnasium Classes Try Out Latest Form of Basketball
A new women's basketball game has been invented by Doctor James Naismith of the department of physical education for men and Miss Hazel Pratt, instructor in the department of physical education for women and also the coach for all women's basketball teams.
The new game was tried out yesterday afternoon in Robinson Gymnasium between the women's freshmen and sophomore basketball teams. It promises to become a much more interesting game than the game now played by women, according to Miss Pratt.
The new games differs from the old game in that there is just one line across the court equidistant from both goals, and the running center and the jumping center will be allowed to play over the entire court, while the two forwards must stay on one side of the net, and the two guards on the other side.
GUARDS CAN THROW GOALS
The feature of the new game is that both forwards and the running center will be permitted to shoot goals the first half and the two guards and the second half. Heretofero the running and jumping centers have not been permitted to try for the goal.
The new style of play will make the game much faster and more interesting, according to Miss Pratt.
The motive which led to the invention of the new basketball game was the strong demand from coaches of women's basketball teams of the various high schools over the state to give a court division that would suit every one so that the various teams which meet annually in the state basketball games are forced on playing on the same style court as they are forced to play on here.
The Kansas Wesleyan basketball squad of Salina attended the Kansas-Missouri game last night. The Wesleyan team plays Washburn at Topeka tonight and Haskell at Lawrence tomorrow night.
When the game is worked out a little more and any possible defects remedied, pamphlets explaining the new game will be issued to the various high schools in the state. Miss Pratt believes that the game will become popular with all women athletes.
