UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
JAYHAWKERSMEET INDIANS TONIGHT
Initial Test When Varsity Five Tangles With the Strong Haskell Team
CUT REST FOR PRACTICE
Athletes Report Early to be in Condition for First Conference Game
The first real try-out of the basketball season will be tonight in Robinson Gym when Coach Venne's Indians invade the Jayhawk camp three squads strong. The scrimmage is expected to be hard and fast as the Indians are exceptionally strong this year. The varsity line-up has not been announced, although the first game was on Friday. E. Ruhlaun, forwards, E. Uhrlauk center, Nelson, Lyle, Wilson or Woodward, guards.
Practice the rest of the week will be handicapped because of the decorating for the Prom. Next week, however, Coach Hamilton plus a worker decorate clips to make preparatory to the clash with Washburn, January 10.
CUT HOLIDAYS FOR PRACTICE
Throughout the holidays Coach Hamilton gave the backpacks he lent to the best friends Urlahlue and freshmen gave the variety squad several hard games. Practically all the men reported a day or so after Christmas, cutting short their vacations so the team might be condition for the first of the conference games, with Ames January 18 and 19.
Several times Coach Hamilton rounded up the old basketball men who were in town during the holidays. Each time the Varsity took the best of the score, due partly perhaps to the lack of condition on the part of the older men. The Varsity forwards, Gibbons, Uhlstra and Wendell, were well in spite of the guarding of the old stars Greenees, Dunnime and Weidlein. Bill Weaver, at center, gave E. Uhtlaur a hard game while Lefty Sproull and Dutch Wedell managed to slip past the Varsity guards time and again.
NEW MEN STAR
Coach Hamilton is pleased with
the work of new men the last week. E. Uhrlaub, even more lanky than his twin brother, R. Uhrlaub, who played guard last year, is going good at forward and proved a find in the way of centers. His ability to get the tip will be a great help in the coming games.
Of the football men, Earl Shim, Hump Wilson and Rook Woodward have been developing rapidly. In shifting Lytle to guard, with Captia Nelson, Wilson, Woodward, Lindsey, Crowder and Laslett, Coach Hamilton has an abundance of material for the guard position. During the scrimmages of the last week, Fearing, a midget forward, has been going well. His footwork and goal shooting being exceptionally good.
The varsity forwards of last year, Gibbons and Kauder are showing up in their old-time form. R. Uhrlaub, Mathews and Shinn have added materially to the strength of the squad in the way of forwards.
TAKE INTEREST IN WORK
K. U. Students More Practical Than Eastern Students
Students in Harvard and Wellesley and other Eastern schools are not so much interested in their studies as the students of K. U., according to Dr. Rasmus Eriksson, the department of geology, who spent his Christmas vacation in the East.
"Students in Harvard and Wellesley pick out a course here and there, and practically waste their time while in 'school', Dr Hayman said. They get their degrees half year after they get their degrees trying to find something that they can do.
Doctor Haynes delivered addresses at both Harvard and Wellesley, where he taught for several years before coming to the University, and attended a national geology meeting at Albany, N. Y., during his vacation. He said the eastern professors were very curious to hear of how much interest the students of the University were taking in their school work.
If an automobile that is good for five years is worth insuring how about a man who is good for thirty-five years?

It's the classiest party ever given at K.U. THE JUNIOR PROM Robinson Gymnasium, Friday Evening, January 5
THE MANAGEMENT of the 1917 Junior Prom is mighty proud of the plans it has announced for the party to be given in Robinson Gymnasium on Friday night of this week. "We'll make it the classiest party ever given at K. U." Manager Harry Montgomery told Manager Howard Fleeson when they were discussing their plans for the event—and the materialization of those plans will prove that their resolves have been carried out. Music, decorations, refreshments, and entertainment will all be extraordinary; and the party is sure to go down in every memory book as "the keenest ever." That there will be "something doing every minute" is the promise of the managers; and from the time the opening strains of the Grand March are played at 8:15 o'clock until the last echoes of "Farewell" have died away at 2:00 o'clock the next morning, there will not be a dull moment.
PERHAPS the most notable feature of the party is the musical program by Jack Riley's ten piece orchestra from the Pompeian Room of the Hotel Baltimore in Kansas City. Riley's harmony producers are famous for their syncopated "Jazz-time" music; and they have the reputation of being the best dance orchestra in the Middle West. They will leave the Baltimore to play for an outside party for the first time since the organization of the orchestra.
But though the music will be quite the best ever offered at a Junior Prom, the other features of the party are not to be overlooked. The cabaret entertainment by singers from the Muehlebach and the Baltimore will be novel; the four course supper which will be served to all guests would make a king green with envy; and the decorations will convert the Gym into a veritable fairyland.
YOU CAN'T MISS THESE BIG FEATURES:
AZZ-TIME MUSIC by the biggest orchestra ever imported for a Junior Prom. "Pewee" Byers, said by Potty Clark to be the "best saxophone player in the whole, wide world," will play his famous "Haltimore Rag" while standing alone in the center of the dance floor. Herb Grible, who is a "hear" at the piano, will try to add more laurels to his already crowded collection. And every other man in the organization will cut loose with all the pep he possesses in order to show K. U. that Riley's orchestra is a REAL orchestra.
Twenty-two numbers will make up the dance program.
GASTRONOMIC ENTERTAINMENT—that means "eats" will be in the form of a four
will be in the form of a four course supper served at quartet tables on the first floor of the Gym. Hetherington and Greaver, who have catered for all the big parties given on the Hill in recent years, will have charge. They have planned an elaborate meal, which will be served in fine style.
The guests will be served in three groups, tickets of admittance to the dining room being included in the programs. The first group will be in the second, during dances 10, 11, and 12; and the third, during dances 13, 14, and 15.
CABAKET by Grace Nelson "Kansas City's favorite entertainer" from the Plantation Grill of the Hotel Mueblech, and Gladys Swarthout, of the Pompeian Room at the Baltimore. Miss Nelson is a soprano of superior ability, and she will go to Chicago in his Chicago Opera Company production in his Chicago Grand Opera Company productions. The management of the Prom considers itself unusually fortunate in being able to secure her for the party.
ABARET by Grace Nelson,
"Kansas City's favorite enter-
tor."
Miss Swarthout is a contraio, and one of the most brilliant entertainers doing cabaret work today. She has been a decided success at the Baiti-Home theater for many months, and she is expected to win favor with K. U. audiences.
DECORATIONS will be in purple and white. Three immense lights with reflectors six foot in
lights, with reflectors six feet in diameter, will be placed high in the rafters of the Gym, and the decorations draped from them to the floor. Wisteria flowers, small redwood cedar trees, and hundreds of yards of streamers will be used. Instead of the soft lighting effects used at many past parties, the ballroom will be brilliantly lighted. In each corner of the floor will be a "cozy corner," with tall reading lamps shedding their rays on the couches and divans. Colored spotlights and flood-lights will also be used.
MANY OTHER NEW AND UNIQUE FEATURES will help to make the party a success. The programs, by the Inter-Collegiate Press of Kansas City, will be presented and of a decidedly novel character.
A reception in honor of Lieutenant-Governor "Billy Morgan will precede the Grand March. Mr. and Mrs. Morgan, Chancellor and Mrs. Strong, Ms. Eustace Brown, and the offices of the class will be in the receiving line.
Flowers will be absolutely tabe at the party. The managers will require that all bouquets be checked at the door.
Tickets are on sale daily at the check stand in Fraser Hall.
Juniors who attend will be admitted free to next year's Prom Open to All K. U. Admission $3.50 the Person
