SELECT SEASON'S SQUAD THIS WEEK
Freshmen Held Varsity Last Night—Ichabods Show Up Well
The Kansas basketball squad will be cut down to twelve men by the end of the week. Coach Hamilton said this morning.
One of the best combinations among the aspirants for positions is Captain Nelson and Lytle at the defensive end; E. Uhlraub and Gibbens on the scoring end and R. Uhrlaub at center. Woodward, Lindsay and Wilson are showing good form as they are able to move if they are going good at forward. Johnson, Polash and Crowder are working hard for positions.
Playing their first regular game of the season, the Ichabods defeated a team from the Topeka Y. M. C. A. league Tuesday night 34 to 21. Both teams played gingery ball, but the superiority of the Washburn quinter over their opponents was a complete surprise to the "Y" men.
The squand will practice tonight on Haskell, and as there will be no practice Friday, just two more days of scrimmage remain until the Varsity enters Robinson court against the Washburn quintet next Wednesday.
The goal throwing of the Ichabods from different positions, and the team work in general gives the Ichabod coaches confidence that Washburn will give a good account of her play in the opening game against K.C.
On the same night of the Washburn victory, the K U. basketeers pilied up a 34 to 14 score in a thirty minute scrimage with the Haskell Indians. In last night's scrimage against the Freshman team the Varsity was held to a stand-still. Unaccurate goal shooting spoiling the chances for the regulars to make a big score over the yearlings.
Potsy Clark is back on the job and both he and Coach Hamilton think the outlook for a winning team is the best.
Big Job to Keep the University in Working Order
SHEA GUARDS "THE HILL"
To keep the buildings of the University in working shape must be considerable of a task is the conclusion one must come to when he thinks about it seriously. Think how many electric light bulbs there are to burn out and be replaced, how many desks for professors to lose the keys to and get out of order in other ways, how many steps to wear through door locks and hinges to keep in repair, windows to keep in working order, and plumbing and heating systems to keep in order.
These minor repairs around the university require the attention of a special force of men who work under the direction of John M. Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds. There are two electricians who do nothing but look after the lights and wiring. One man, a student makes keys and repairs locks. One plumber is required to keep water pipes, drinkers' cans and the like in the building. The heating system demands the service of two steam fitters to keep it working. Three and sometimes four carpenters are needed to repair the various parts of the buildings which are constantly needing attention, especially the doors, windows and steps.

"Yes, sir."
"Could he covenant as to the soundness of the horse?"

After he had gone, one of the seniors suggested that the Ford be run down in front of the Engineering Building, and one of the junior students would have a better idea to take the wagon near the department of domestic science.

Students at the University of Cincinnati are promised some real excitement before long.

And to make the experience more novel the second year men will be required to pay 25 cents per cap.

MOON FICTION EXPLAINED
"If there were any truth in the popular fancy about the 'wet' and 'dry moon," said Prof. E. B. Stouffer, of the department of mathematics, recently, "it would be possible to observe that the sun is twenty thousand or any other number of years ahead. The position of the moon are exactly the same at the same time in successive years and have no connection with the rainfall. Because of the angle at which the sunlight falls on the sphere, the moon must always point toward the sun, whose relative position to the moon varies with the seasons.
"The moon's revolution around the earth requires twenty-nine and one-half days. At the starting point, the moon is between the earth and the sun and the side away from the earth is illuminated. So, we have dark moons. As the moon moves away from this position, one edge becomes visible by reflected light from the sun, and we have a "rescent moon," which waxes into the full "quarter moon," as it comes into a position at right angles to the sun and the earth. When the moon arrives at a position directly opposite the sun, with the earth behind it, the moon forms one side of one the moon and have a "full moon." Then the moon has traveled one-half of its orbit. From this point we have a waning moon which "winks out" when the startning point is reached again.

Moon fiction would fill many volumes. Among such popular and romonic notions are "planting in the moon" or "the moon" and "wet" or "dry moon."
