Leland Fiske was ordered not to run tonight by Dr. Jas. Naismith because of an attack of tontillis, but at the last moment, he packed his grip and went to the station. He says he will run if Coach Hamilton will permit him to.
Should the Jayhawk tie another hat in the Tiger tail at Convention Hall tonight, Old Brer Rabbit will come in for considerable of the credit. His two offsprings, Belgian Haire and Belgian Hare, are packed much for the hat or rather have been sacd freely for the benefit of the training table crew.
To give the men a little food, removed from the commonplace steak and roast, steward "Tony" James obtained a supply of Belgian hares and later armoured thim by a number of the wild "jack" variety, which were few enough to such men as Rodkey, Edwards and Poos. James smiling maintains that he fed Keeling Jack once with the result that the gi weight man could not stay in the wheel for a week.
h Hamilton refused to comment on the situation this morning but it is said that he was very much perturbed when he first learned of this diet that was being forced upon his athletes. The tranquil mandarin is said to have become quite turbulent when he recalled the old adage "no more brains than a rabbit," for the news of the new diet was broken to him the night before quiz week opened.
opened.
He never, much as the Coach may have feared, there were no evil aftermaths. Every man on the team remained eligible and a couple of ineligibles managed to pass enough extra work to get into the team. "Now then," he handsily said, "If they only can use rabbits and never allow till the pay station at the tape is reached, we will surely beat Missouri."

SORE AFFLICTIONS HARASS STUDES
Overdrafts Won't Get by Now
To the burden of down-troden studes cometh now another sore affliction.
Lawrence bankers, long hardening under piteous appeals from authors of overdrafts have now an incurable condition of petrification of the heart in its most malignant form, say that the banker has absolutely to let them accept overdrafts and the bank inspector says the le lusature gave him his orders.
This means that well-polished arguments concerning the reason why that check exceeds the amount of cash resting under your name in the bank's coffers. You can tell the bank to be forthright; that date will be to be filled on the basis of cash, and not checks written on the money order dad is going to send next week
And out of the depths comes a wait
for someone to give you a meal
write a check even for a meal ticket
NEW AERIAL SOME BUZZER
Graduate Students Run Wireless Connection to Heating Plant Chimney
Two slender wires stretching from the roof of Blake Hall to the top of the chimney of the heating plant is the latest development of K. U. wireless station, V. A. Hunt and L. E. Whitmore, the graduate students who are experimenting with wireless, put up the new aerial Wednesday. The old one to the cottonwood tree was too short and too low.
The new wire gives much louder and cleaner messages than the o3.1, and so is very valuable in receiving the loudly time flashes from the government station at Arlington, Virginia, and from the Illinois Watch Company at Springfield. These flashes insure the correct time for the seismograph records where accuracy is essential for exact calculations.
WHITE CROSS MONEY NEEDED

Pledges be Paid at Once
"The White Cross Committee desires that every person in the University, students and faculty who are back in dues plued to this organization pay immediately," said Prof H. P. Cady today.

Students and faculty at the university contributed generously so we do not want the good work to stop. Pledges may be paid in any building on the campus."
Charles F. Scott who went to Belgium with the ship which carried supplies sent by Kansans returned to the United States about a week ago. He lectured in Topeka Wednesday night on the conditions in Belgium. He urged that the work of sending food to the Belgian people be kept up untiringly as the cause was a just one and the suffering undescribable.

SPRING FOOTBALL
PRACTICE MONDAY
"Spring football practice will begin March 15," says Coach Jay Bond, "whether spring zephyrs are blowing over the green surface of McCook, or whether the whole place is three feet deep in mud."
