FIVE WORKS OUT AGAINST HASKELL
But Basketeers Have Not Yet Hit Their Stride, Coach Declares
Although not up to their usual form, the Varsity basketball five piled up a 34 to 14 score in a thirty minute scrimmage with the Haskell Indians in Robinson Gym last night, An hour of practice in which each of the squad played followed the workout of the regulars.
Individual playing was more in evidence in the practice game than teamwork. Gibbons, at forward, sustained his reputation as a basket-tosser and contributed the most points. Good teamwork did the work, twice resulted in several field goals. Lytte, guard, shared in the scoring.
Several times during the practice the Kansas boys displayed ability to work together but inaccurate goal shooting spoiled the chances of raising the count. Foul were frequent for the K, U, squad and many of the redskin points came from free-throws.
The teamwork of the Indians was exceptionally fast but inability to hit the baskets after carrying the ball with comparative ease from one end of the court to the other explains their lack of scoring.
The second squad used against the Indians played good ball. Nelson and Woodward guarding, Kauder and Shinn at forward, and Johnson at center formed an aggressive squad that started the fireworks against the Haskell boys. Later Coach Hammons recruited pirants for the different positions and before the practice ended all of the squad had a chance to show themselves in action. Keen competition for the positions is apparent.
Coach Hamilton was pleased with the scrimmage and thinks the possibilities for a winning team are the best.

STUDENTS READ DEEPLY
If we were talking about magazines
wouldn't be so complimentary; but
with both sides.
So far so good, but the rest will be worse.
After going to class all morning, working all afternoon and studying all night, there is little time for the pleasure loving student to wander in the footsteps of O. Henry or to thread the maze with Mary Roberts Rinehart. All this is merely introductory to the subject of good books.
Now, you know, a sister must have something to put her to sleep slowly, very slowly when she retires so she sticks the adhesive lamp on the bed under the bed. Black Cat or Hearst's from under her pillow and here we drop the curtain
Students as a general rule read better books than any other group of people. They don't have time for anything else. They get have so accustomed to pondering over musty tomes at the command of some professor that habit brings them back again when they are on a browsing expedition.
That's the reason students rend good books than any other group of people.
Now with a brother it is entirely different; he gets up from the dinner, nee supper table; grabs his oldest pipe, subsides into the nearest morris-chair where he finds the next to the last copy of the Parisienne stuck under the skirt of her chair. You are wondering why he isn't reading the last copy but the libel laws keep us from telling who borrowed it.
Speaks to Engineers
Charles I. Corp, e'03, who is now associate professor of hydraulics at the University of Wisconsin, talked to the freshman engineers yesterday at eleven-thirty o'clock on "Personality in Engineering Work."
Mr. Corp was formerly assistant professor of mechanical engineering here before he went to Wisconsin. He is spending a few days in Law School, the number of students at the School of Engineering and other friends on the Hill.
Fly Standard and Streamer
An American flag and a banner of the University colors appeared on Fraser Hall yesterday, causing the uninitiated among the students to wonder. These flags are raised only three times during the school year; at the beginning of the school in the fall, the first day after the Christmas vacation, and again during commencement week.
The Blackfriars Club will meet in Room 205, Fraser Hall, at fourthirty o'clock Thursday afternoon. All members are urged to be present.
KANSAS-MISSOURI TRACK
MEET SET FOR MARCH 18
The date for the annual indoor track meet between Missouri and Kansas has been set for March 16, according to an announcement given out recently by W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics. The meet will be in Convention Hall in Kansas City one week later than last year. This allowance would keep Kansas a week longer to get good condition after the K. C. A. C. meet in Convention Hall and the indoor Western Conference Meet in Urbana, March 3. The Jayhawkers have failed to win this dual meet
DO YOU CONVERSE
VACUOUSLY--DONT
vacuous Conversation Should Have No Place at
In his book "Through a College
Window, which describes
somone's conversation"
with "wishing conversation."
K. U.
Why need we of the University of Kansas ask? We who are so proficient in that very art. You can hear "vacuous conversation" everywhere, Just go to a dance at Fraternal Aid and hear John tell Sue the story of "Gladys, the cross-eyed bear," and tarken to her uproarous laughter.
Then hang around the School of Law steps for awhile, and as the fellows are matching coins, heam them discuss the latest squirrel print that appeared on the Hill in the form of posters on the sidewalks, or the discussion of the approaching Prom or Hon.
Then go to the fraternity house and hear the boys tell why they wouldn't take Miss So-and-To a dance; and hear them rave over the cabaret singer they heard in Kansas City.
It is no better at the sorority houses. There everyone is telling what a wonderful time she had during the holidays—wonderful meaning how many dances she attended and how late she stayed up. Also they were writing in case and of that darling pin or vanity card that was dear old Bob's gift.
On the campus in the morning that laughing carefree line that goes from Fraser to Ad is one string of meaningless "Hellows." If you do have time to stop and talk to anyone you discuss the weather or the latest show instead of indulging in common sense topic. Or if you have an hour off you go to Bricks and deal in the latest scandal.
Since this Hill is a little world in itself, why shouldn't big and broad subjects be discussed? Now, during their college days is the only time that some men who will later go on to become familiar with good literature. Here, also, are many future statesmen in the making, who might well be discussing local and national politics. In Kansas where the women have an excellent opportunity to take the lead for good government.
Many good lecturers, musicians and singers are brought to Lawrence annually. Are they able and stamily supported by the students? Why, if not, why aren't they available enough money be taken in to pay for the lighting of the hall.
Let's talk about the big vital things and eliminate this "vacuum conversation."
There is in the human body a certain "factor of safety," which allows for ill treatment, for starvation, for gluttony, for poisoning, for infection, and for various other strains and stresses, just as just oxygen was planned to withstand more wear and tear than it must ordinarily undergo.
DAILY HEALTH HINTS
This factor of safety is not the same in all individuals. In some it is a negligible quantity; in others it is raised to the nth power, as in the laws of defiance and security who lives in defiance of all the laws of health and wet lives to ninety.
In the United States in 1910, more than 100,000 persons between the ages of forty and sixty, died from disease or injury in 1910. Preceding most deaths (not due to accident or acute disease) there is usually a long period of impairment, or of progressive changes in mental capacity, which are best observed to himself and to society.
Ask yourself this question: At what stage in this or any disease does one derive the greatest benefit from a careful medical examination?
Most people exceed their factor of safety. The human clock breaks, in response to the stress.

SUBMIT OWNERSHIP PLAN
Talbot Frames Bill Providing for Municipal Management
Homer C. Talbot, head of the municipal reference bureau of the University, recently received a request that the League of Kansas Municipalities join New York cities in a 2-weeks' boycott on eggs. The request was sent by the conference of mayors in the state of New York. In reply Mr. Talbot suggested that the public play the same game the food speculators are playing. "Let the public put its money into the old store just as the supply manipulators do and the effect will last longer than will the plan of _going without eggs for breakfast _for two weeks," said Mr. Talbot.
Mr. Talbot will submit these suggestions to the Kansas legislature in a bill giving any Kansas town or city power to build and operate its own factory. This would create a market for the purpose of heading off the oppressive food speculator.
"A Kansas city is the most helpless thing in the state except a baby," said Mr. Talbot. "Under present conditions American cities have no authority to establish or carry on such enterprises." Several American cities in other states and many European cities have put in place with success. Kansas can do it too."
Professor G. J. Hood, of the department of mechanical engineering, spent a week of his vacation in and around Tusla, Oklahoma. Prof. Hood worked with students on a great bench and that wherever you are one talks oil, oil, oil.
Isn't it a good plan to be positively sure of at least a small income after the age of sixty-five?

"Michigan wants varsity basketball" was the decision of 1,700 petitioners. Varsity basketball was abolished at the University, due to the lack of competition Now that the students have voted in favor of the sport, there is little doubt that the athletic committee will take favorable action in the matter—Indiana Student.
AT OTHER SCHOOLS
In spite of some vigorous criticism which has been pouring in through many channels, the student body of the University of Kansas has decided that if members of the freshman class persist in appearing on the campus campus pages heading these they will be paddled until such time as they declare themselves amenable to the traditions of the college—Daily Californian.
Ground has been broken just west of Lincoln Hall, at the University of Illinois, but this time not for the foundation of a new building. It has been broken for the planting of shrubbery of different kinds, and when spring comes the work of the landscape gardening department will give a beautifulifying effect to the here-around back of the Hall. The work of the department will be carried still farther this week and shrubbery will be planted around the Engineering Building and the Armory.—MeGill Daily.

Read the opinions of the foremost press critics of the country:
In the Sonata by MacDowell Mr. Henry seemed to be the one who was powerful. He was evidently in whole sympathy with the music, and he was able to perform as a great spirit of devotion and an admirable command of his instrument. Furthermore he impaired to the point of poor warmth — New York Sun.
A pianist of unusual skill and dexterity, with an arm that can play the extraordinary amount of muscular force, accuracy and endurance. One man who played Chopin to come forth in brave colors at such a call of sturdy music, can also be a brilliant in its resounding and thundering chords. Wöbel's famous "perpetuum mobile" fionde was a tour de force of expert and lightning finger work—Boston Transcript.
His program was unusual and
theatreful, in that he took time
to play music. Bach's
arrangement for the concerto,
Mr. Henry's musical and unr-
told playing has been praised
