AGGIES WIN TWO FROM HAWKERS
Farmers Upset Dope, Winning Two-Game Series, 38 to 9 and 32 to 29
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 5, 1917.
FIRST DEFEAT OF SEASON
The Aggie basketball squad unset all dope by defeating the fast Jayhawkier quintet in a two-game series at Manhattan, Friday and Saturday nights, by the scores of 38 to 9, nd 32 to 29.
The first one-sided Jayhawker outfeat of the season, Friday night, came as a bolt of lightning from a clear sky that three thousand Jayhawker fans who three hours before close and hard-fought with Kansas as the probable winner. The remarkable comeback of the Kansas quintet in the second game has satisfied the Jayhawkers and coaches that Kansas still has its chance to win the Missouri Valley championship.
Kansas Retains Lead in Valley Race—Meet Missouri Tomorrow
"The men were simply not hitting in the first game," was Coach W. O. Hamilton's explanation of the one-sided Aggie score. "In the second game the men hit their stride, and they might good game. The Aggies had a mighty good game and it was a toss-up from start to finish."
MEN TOOK A SLUMP
Coach Potsy Clark said the team took an "unconditional slump" in the clash on Friday, but that the men got together in the game Saturday night, and showed some real "right." He believes that it is just a matchup between the Aggies and the Jayhawkers to tell them what team. He accounted for the Jayhawker slump Friday night by the fact that the Aggie court is much wider than the court in Robinson gymnasium and that it took some time for the Jayhawker basket-cagers to get used to playing on the strange court.
CHANCE AT VALLEY TITLE
Kansas still has a better chance to win the Missouri Valley Championship than the Aggies according to Coach Hamilton. The Jayhawkers have sixteen Missouri Valley Conference games on their schedule while the Aggies have but twelve, so that Kansas can lose the same number of games on their schedule while the Aggies have but two, so that Kansas has the same number of games as the Aggies as the NCAA championship, as the number of games would give a larger percentage than the Aggies could get.

EXPOSES SECRET SERVICE
"Under Cover", the play to be given by the Dramatic Club February 28, deals with the U. S. secret service. It exposes fraudulent and harsh methods used by officers in York in guarding against smugging.
"Under Cover" Shows Methods Used by U. S. Officials
"The plot is full of surprises and is intensely interested," said Professor MacMurray, director of the play, this morning.
The story centers around the smugglage of a $200,000 necklace into this country and the methods of secret service men in catching the smuggler. The play had a long run in eastern theaters. This is the first season that it has been released for amateur production. Rio Cooper Megreu, writer of many plays, is the author.
UNIVERSITY WOMEN GIVE

The biggest social event for University women, the Girls' Prom, is only a week away. February 10 is the date. Schofall's orchestra will play, special specialities will be given during intermission, and light refreshments will be served.

FELLOWSHIP IN GERMAN
NOW OPEN TO GRADUATES
A fellowship in the University of Kansas for the second semester of the current year is made vacant by the resignation of Gerhard Baerg, who held the fellowship in the department of German. He is now teaching in the department and is unable to hold both positions.
The fellowship is open to competition by graduates of the University of Kansas, and of other universities and colleges, holding the bachelor's degree. It pays $140 for the half year.
Applications must be in at Dean Blackmar's office by February 10, 1917. Application blanks may be obtained at the dean's office.
JUNIOR WOMEN WIN FROM POLY
Speed and Team-work Brings Score of 35 to 19 Saturday Afternoon
The Jayhawk junior women's basketball sextette won an easy game from the Polytechnic sextette at the Polytechnic Institute at Kansas City, Saturday afternoon, by the score of 35 to 19.
The Kansas basket-cagers took the lead at the opening of the encounter and held it until the end of the game. The Polytechnic women played a good game, according to Coach Hazel Pratt, but they have not been playing together as long as the Kansas team, and lacked speed.
None of the women received injuries in the game, and all are in fine condition for the next game on the schedule. The junior women have never been defeated. The next game will be the final game, the tette, and will be played in Robinson gymnasium in about two weeks. The Polytechnic team will probably clash with the Jayhawker freshman team at the same time, according to Coach Hazel Pratt. The Polytechnic team has been beaten by the Jayhawker for three successive games and declined to schedule another game this season.
The junior women who made the trip are: Dorothy Querfeld, Joyce Brown, and Sara Trant, forwards Captain Dorothy Tucker and Gladys Bentcott, Dorothy Bentcott, and Ruth Endcott, Nelle Liebengood, and Lucile Sterlings, guarding.
The regular monthly convoction will be held Friday, February 9, at 10:10. (Signed).
FRANK STRONG,
Chancellor.

"The men students had their separate meeting and every man in the University attended. It is the womens' turn now. Although the reason for the meeting may not be as grave as that which called the men to the presence of everyone is needed that the convocation will be successful.
SIMILAR TO MEN'S
"I am asking that every woman faculty member be on the platform and take an interest in the event. The program will be varied so that the meeting will be of interest to all." assured Mrs. Brown.
SETS PRECEDENT

GIRLS' DORMITORY BILL
READ IN LEGISLATURE
A bill providing for a gris's dorsitory in Kansas State Institutions of Learning was introduced into the legislature at Topeka Wednesday. The measure allows each of the institutions to insure lands amounting to $100,000 for the building of dormitories, but provides for sufficient profits in conducting the halls to pay off the bonds.
This measure is the result of the annual meeting of the Kansas Council of Women and is being earnestly supported by committees representing the alumnae of the University of Kansan and the Kansas State Agricultural College, as a committee of women representing the students of the state schools.
HALLS USED FOR CLASSES IN ART
Record Enrollment of 248 Crowds Capacity of Fine Arts Department
Crowded quarters are hindering the work of the department of painting and drawing, according to Prof. William A. Griffith. "At present," said Professor Griffith, "we are utilizing every bit of class room allowed us, and many of the students in drawing rooms at the hall, and owing to these unfavourableditions students are not able to do their best work."
The enrollment in the department is larger than ever before. At present there are 248 students enrolled in the department, and the three instructors are kept busy from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. m., caring for the classes. We are now, from the School of Fine Arts, drawn into drawing and painting, forty in design, and twenty-seven in the history of art, while 128 are enrolled from the College and eighteen from the School of Engineering. Due to the congested condition, fifty-seven of those from the College are crowded into one class. At present, those from the College are the Artist take their work in the morning, and those from the College and School of Engineering are cared for in the afternoon.
"University instructors in the department ought to do painting and research work," said Professor Griffen to care for classes, this is impossible unless the instructors are generous enough to do it on Sundays."
Professor Cady of the department of chemistry, will lecture before the Kansas Academy of Science at Memorial Hall in Topeka tonight. He will demonstrate the physical, and chemical properties of liquid air, discussing its use, and making a number of interesting experiments.
