UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN CLARK COACHING GOAL SHOOTERS Basketball Practice Starts In Earnest—Seven Football Men Out "Potys" Clark, assistant coach in basketball. Three squads of Varsity players and some twenty-five freshmen were at practice last night. Under the direction of Coaches Hamilton and Clark, the men went through an extended work-out in passing to light sarmimage Practice began at seven and ended at nine o'clock. Practice for the Varsity will be held every night, even during the Christmas holidays. With the opening game the first week after vacation, it is necessary that Coach Hamilton round his men into shape at once. The football men were out in good numbers last night and caused the篮球队 some worry. Seven of the regulars on the football squad have checked in their gridiron equipment and are starting after basketball letters. Among the men out for places are Shinn and Minor, forwards; Martin, center; Lindsey, Wilson, Laslett, and Woodward guards. The football men made a good showing on the first night and a similar showing will land places for them on the regular squad. ELABORATE PROM BEING PLANNED Baltimore Hotel Orchestra to Play for University's Biggest Formal Party Complete plans for the junior prom, the biggest party of the school year; were announced this morning by Howard Fleeson and Harry Montgomery. The first Friday after the Christmas holidays—will be the date; and Robinson Gymnasium, the place. The grand march will begin at 8:15 o'clock, and dancing will continue without inter- mission until 2 o'clock Saturday morning. "Riley's orchestra from the Pompeian Room at the Hotel Baltimore in Kansas City will furnish the dance music," said Frank Fratcher, chairman of the program committee, this morning. "Riley is famous for his 'Jazz-time' music—a sort of raggy jazz ensemble—that is funable for an auditor to keep his position. The orchestra will play two-two dance numbers, each twenty minutes long—and the music will be full of hot stuff from start to finish. A serpentine and confetti carnival will be the climax to the evening." Instead of the annual junior force which was a feature of proms in the past, the management has secured two cabaret singers who will entertain during the five-course supper which will be served all guests on the tour. The group includes sisters, Mae and Millie, who were with the "World of Pleasure" company in Kansas City recently, will stage the cabaret stunts. They will join Lawren for again when it moves to Lansing on January 8—three nights after the prom. The five-course supper will be served at quartet tables, some two hundred guests being accommodated at one time. "We haven't selected a caterer yet," said Russell Friend, chairman of the refreshment committee, of the refreshment cakes" this morning, "but you can bet your life we'll ret a clavely one." ELABORATE DECORATIONS Decorations will be in purple and white, according to Ennis Whitehead, chairman of the decoration committee. "We're going to use a unique lighting system," said Whitehead this morning, "and the effects we expect to secure ought to make the gym a sure'nuf fairyland. We've sent to the Yosemite Valley, California, for some dwarf red wood pins for use in decorating. Artificial wisteria flowers also will be used." ADMISSION IS SAME yet," said Fleson, "but we'll begin pretty soon, in all probability." In spite of the rising costs of paper and other commodities necessary in staging the prom, the admission price will remain the same—the $7 a couple—according to Manager Fleeson. "We haven't planned for the ticket sale, Horace Chandler is chairman of the invitation committee. Invitations are sent to a number of faculty members in the University attended the prom in their junior year. FALL CONCERT BEST EVER, SAYS DIRECTOR MCNANLES "The annual fall concert on Dec. 14 will be the best concert ever given by a K. U. band," said J. C. McCanles, of the University band this morning.

A. Poland, recently graduated from the School of Engineering at the University of Kansas and now with the W. S. Dickey Clay Manufacturing Company. "Mr. Poland has visited every county in the state of Oklahoma since the Ozark Trails road agitation was began, and the valuable value of the movement cannot be over-estimated," The Daily Oklahoma writes.
