UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SQUAD OFF FOR AMES TONIGHT Coach Hamilton Takes Nine Mer on Northern Trip for Two-Game Series OPENS CONFERENCE RACE Little Advantage for Either Team—Kansas Team in Good Condition Coaches W. O. Hamilton and Potsy Clark with nine of the best representative Jayhawker basketeers will leave tonight at 8:40 to invade the stronghold of the Iowa Aggies at Ames Thursday and Friday in their first Missouri Valley conference games of the season. MEN FEEL FINE The men taking the trip will be: Captain Nelson, Ernest and Rudolph Uhrlauh, Laslett, Lasky, Gibbens, Woodward, Kauder and Linn. All of the men on the square are in fine condition and have high hopes that they will be able to mark the two games down in their "won" column. The men fully realize that the games will be hotly contested from start to finish and are going prepared to play their best basketball when the whistle sends them into the game tomorrow afternoon. The squad held a hard scrimmage yesterday afternoon with Bill Weidlien's protges to get into shape for the Cyclones. The last practice was staged in the Robinson Gymnasium at two o'clock this afternoon instead of last night as was announced yesterday. SLUMPED YESTERDAY The scrimage yesterday afternoon was much slower than usual due to the fact that all of the regulars were not used in the lineup at the same time. All of these situations were tried out at the various positions to determine which was the best. K. U. IS TOP HEAVY, SAYS LAMBERTSON Scrubby Laslett and Rock Woodward displayed some of their fastest floorwork and guarding of the season while Harold Lytle also showed up in his best form. Walter Kauder and Earl Shinn demonstrated an unstoppable ability with both kets. Leo Gibben and Captain Fat Nelson were not present at the scrimmage but were out to the light practice this afternoon. (Continued from page 1) that the board members have travelled to interview prospective instructors. The university should be restored to its own professional control and the board reduced to one business-man commissioner, who can be checked over in the final analysis by a central commission. We want to reiterate that the university is not in need of added class rooms. A new and enlarged central house, with spacious classrooms world-famous sample rooms. Furnish simple, modern interiors. Five visits to the law library in the last two years during the school day have revealed it without an occupant. The times justify an increase in salaries. We recommend that the joint ways we means committee approve floor plan plans. The great center of a university's life should be its library. This is the building we believe the university needs most. An auditorium should be built so that students can be unrestricted under the gymnasium is unsatisfactory for university gatherings. War on Cigar Cutters War has been declared on cigar cuters following the advice of the University health department, and one local dealer has already removed cigar cured tobacco from the university health department strongly advised the abolition of these disease spreaders, declaring them to be a dangerous menace to public health. Some cities have already eliminated cigar cuters entirely inasmuch as the menaces believed them spreaders of tuberculosis and other dangerous diseases.

SPORT BEAMS Earl Shinn, a forward, fell and took about an inch of skin from his knee, while he was running at top speed in the scrimmage yesterday afternoon. The injury looked serious at first, but it was soon learned that it was just a wound and did not injure the knee-cap. He continued in the scrimmage. The women's interclass basketball series tonight are open to any women in the University with a Woman's Athletic Association ticket or twenty-five cents. The games promise to be fast and exciting. The last of the interclass series will be played Saturday morning unless there is a tie for the loving cup which is to be awarded to the winner of the series. Lefty Sproull took about three laps around the indoor track yesterday afternoon and showed up an amazing amount of speed considering that he had just finished refereeing the scrimmage. He was one more track man in that he has to take one stride while most runners are taking two. Potsy Clark is now on the cripple list. Potsy hurt his neck Monday in basketball practice. Rook Woodward is developing fast floor work lately. He made a sensational play in the scrimmage yesterday afternoon by dribbling the ball the entire length of the court and then bagging a fancy goal. Missouri will surely have "some relay team" if it lives up to the many rumors which dope it as having five men doing the quarter mile under 51 seconds. This is the way the advance press stuff reads: Simpson, 48;2; Daggy, 49;3; Wyatt, 49;4; Peaman, 50; Flat, 51; Merrill, 51; the world of warbirds if they can do this well so early in the season indoors. Whether they do as well in the Missouri-Kansas meet March 16 remains a big question. Fullington, Wells and Reynolds are playing the best game for the Kansas Aggies thus far this season. Reynolds was a star of the team that tied for the Valley championship last year. Missouri is on the lookout for a pole vaulter this year. So far they have not been able to find a man who can do 10.6 indoors, although they appear to have several possibilities in view. Pittam appears to be the best man for the place now. He high jumped last year. New men are needed at the Tiger school in the half mile and the mila. Gableman is the veteran miler back this year but there is no other man with a miler to him. Kider is on the regular half miler but he also needs a running mate. Missouri has Warren back in school to handle the weights and practically the same relay team. Right now the Kansas Aggies appear to have the best team in the Valley. Nebraska and Ames appear to be weaker than last year although Ames beat the Tigers in one of the games last week. But the Mets school does not seem to have their same winning record that they had last season. The Aggies appeared to be the things their own way in the recent game with Washburn. The Farmers have practically the same team they had last year. Do you need writing paper or Correspondence Cards?

RICE HURT WHILE POLE VAULTING Accident Will Not Keep High Jumper Out of Practice Says Coaches The first accident of the indoor track season occurred yesterday afternoon in Robinson Gymnasium when Rice, one of the veteran high jump men, fell on his left arm while pole vaulting. He was trying an easy height when the mishap occurred. He fell on his left elbow as he came down and for a time it was feared that he had broken his arm. The injury appeared quickly, but he only managed to bow. It will keep him from pole vaulting for several days, but probably will not interfere with his jumping after today. Rice is counted on as one of the men to compete for Kansas along with Treweeke. Bell and Taylor are the other new men out for the pole vault. Taylor made his letter on the Varsity baseball team last year. Atwood and Taylor did the best work in the practice yesterday. If K. U. can develop two good pole vaulters between now and the Missouri meet, it will mean a George Smee, another baseball man and captain of this year's team, is out for the sprints and appears to be going good. He did some dash work three years ago. Ted Crum, letter man in 1915, is out for the dashes from last year. He isn't in school last year. Willard Hilton, brother of the speedy Hilton of the 1915 team, has not been out but a couple of times this year. bigger chance of winning the meet from Missouri has no valider toulleau this time. Barclay and Seward appear to be out of the running in the hurdles on account of eligibility. Seward was counted on to do the high hurdles this year and this will leave a big hole in the Kansas team if no man is developed to do the high sticks. Casey and Winn appear to be likely candidate for the hurdle. Russell another hurder, will not be able to make the team on account of lack of credits according to present indications. The distance men spent most of the time yesterday in timing the laps to get their right pace. The new shots arrived from the Spalding Company of Kansas City yesterday. Casey and Small were putting the shot around them, then their last out. Brown is the latest recruit to the quarter mile. He has done some consistent work in the last two inter-class meets.
