UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
FIRST GAME IS WITH WASHBURN
Basketball Season Opens for K. U. Next Wednesday Night
COACH EXPECTS VICTORY
Prospects for Valley Championship Are Bright for Crimson and Blue
The 1917 Jayhawker basketball season will be ushered in Wednesday night, with the Washburn five and six occupying the center of the stairs.
SHOW GOOD FORM
The squad is rounding into form, and every man is out to make a winning team for the Crimson and the Blue. Chances are bright for the Valley championship, according to Kofi Clark. The men are working hard and placing every available minute at the disposal of the coaches.
The ability of the players to connect with the basket is one of the many things which raises the hopes of the Jayhawker school for a Valley championship. Rudolf Uhrlaub was in first class form in the scrimmage and was the leader by a few baskets. Hank Shinn also hit his stride and dropped several field goals. All of the men showed up well, and it is difficult to pick out any stars as they are all playing such an even game.
Coach Hamilton would not make any rash promises about the outcome of the Washburn game, but it was evident that he expected to win by a few goals. He said he was not much for girls and that he only altogether ondo as to the outcome of any game. He gave the Ames-Simpson game, early this season, as an illustration. In this, Ames was defeated by a six or seven point majority by the much smaller school of Simpson. One thing is almost certain that he will show some class and form that will bring joy to the heart of every loyal K. U. fan.
GYM ALL READY
Robinson Gymnasium is all fitted up in amphitheater style for the game, with a seating capacity of twelve hundred. A section has been reserved in the northeast corner for Mac's famous K. U. Bund. Wearing roping we should come out of the Washburn game with a substantial lead.
The schedule for the squad for the remaining two days before the Washburn game is: Monday night, scrimmage with Haskell; Tuesday, squad will rest; Wednesday morning, light signal practice; and Wednesday night at 7:15, the opening of the 1917 Jayhawk basketball season with the game with Coach Bert Kennedy's basketteers from Washburn.

SPORT BEAMS
Ames will show the Kansas basketball team a great fight in spite of their defeat at the hands of Simpson last week, 18 to 13. The Iowa school has almost a veteran team back this year and all of the games with Ames last year were close and fiercely contested.
Coach Kennedy is trying to give Washburn a successful team this year, and the team appears to be stronger than last season. Practically all of last year's team is back for practice. Last year Washburn won only two games, and those two from the Topeka Y. M. C. A., but the squad has shown better form so far this year than they ever did last year.
The K. U, basketball team will be materially strengthened if Ike Eppinger, former Northeast high school star, is able to play on the Varsity squad next season. Mr. Eppinger expects to enroll in the University next semester, coming from the Polytechnic Institute. He is also a track star.
The Tigers won their first game of the season Saturday with the Central College quitter by a 10-6 victory. By the Williams, of Missouri, hit the basket for 21 points.
Ames took a rough and tumble game from the Iowa Teachers, 22 to 15, the same day.
Kansas and Missouri horseshoe players clashed in Kansas City yesterday in the first series of a rough and furious match for the interstate championship. No injuries have been reported as yet.
A rumor comes from Columbia that Bob Simpson is working out for the quarter-mile event, and would probably be used as anchor man on the mile relay team which will race against Kansas in the annual indoor dual meet between the schools at Louisville on March 16. He can do it in 49 seconds, according to Coach Schulte. Does Kansas need to worry?
Manager W. O. Hamilton is a mighty busy man these days. Besides looking after the business end of all athletics of the University, he is answering from ten to fifteen letters a day, on all subjects in the least way connected with athletics, from the various high schools over the state, prospective athletes, athletic teachers, and old grads.
Linus Fitzgerald, a K. U. student last year, writes from Missola, Montana, to Manager Hamilton asking for information on "how to hurdle." Letters of this kind show how imputation works; they help part in, or at least get a thorough knowledge of all the various sports while in the University.
The work connected with preparing the gymnasium for the clash with the Washburn basketeers Wednesday night was started Saturday, and everything now is ready for the game. Six hundred basketball players are paused in ampliometer style around the court on the first floor. Six hundred more will be in the balcony. A section of seats has been reserved in the northeast corner, on the first floor, for Mac's famous K. U. Band.
Tickets for the Washburn-K. U.
game are fifty cents for the first
floor, or a student enterprise ticket
or a discount ticket. Student
tickets admit to the balcony.
GYM IS SET FOR WORK IN TRACK
Training Begins in Earnest for Normal Meet January 29
NEED SEVERAL NEW MEN
Places Open In Mile, Quarter. Hurdles, Pole Vault, Weights and Relay
The indoor track team began work in earnest today with many of the old track men back and working out for the team. The gymnasium has been seated for the basketball season and is now the center of the lower floor. Jumping standards and shot putting pits also will be in place for hard work this afternoon.
The meet with the Normals probably will be January 29, and Coach Hamilton realizes that a lot of hard work has been done by old men and new recruits if a winning combination is to meet the Emporia school. Last year the K. U. squad had an easy time winning from the Teachers, but history does not always repeat itself. Kansas will probably win but not if there are not more old men in the team than the old men have not been out for practice so far this season.
STRONG IN FIELD EVENTS
It is expected that the Normals will be strong in the events in which K. U. is weakest; the pole vault and shot quarter again and the relay, and possibly the 20-yard dash. Treeweke, Gruzmacher, and Rice are the veterans back who will take care of the jumps. Sproull will run the mile, while Groene and Stateler will do the two mile run. Rodkey will run the half and the relay. Small is the only weight man back and Winn the only veteran hurdler in school this year. Davidson and O'Leary are the only two old dash men back this season.
NEW MEN HAVE CHANGE
There is a big chance for a new man to make a place on the team in the quarter, half, and mile. Men are needed in the relay, dashes, and hurdles. Unless Pattinson will to school a new man will have to be developed to do the pole vault.
STRONG IN FIELD EVENTS
NEW MEN HAVE CHANCE
New men are needed in the broad jump and the weight events. At least two men are entered in each event in nearly every meet of the year, and there is a fine opportunity for new men to make good this year.
Seventeen Names Are Omitted In Directory
Late enrollment caused the names of several students to be omitted from the student directory. Eleven men and six women are in the tardy class, and many arrive late enrolled in the School of Fine Arts as specials.

LOOMAS STUDIOS
THE
One of the best features of the basketball games this season will be that all games will start promptly at 7:15 and will be over by 8:30. This arrangement will give every one plenty of time to get to the game after eating supper, and also to get back into time of study. This basketball game will be the "recreation hour" for the tired stude. It was with this in view that Manager Hamilton scheduled so many weekday games.
Discuss War Loans and Taxes
Profs. A. J. Boynton, G. E. Putnam, and H. D. Harper, of the department of economics, attended the annual meeting of the American Economics Association in Columbus, Ohio, during the holidays.
