Edwards Hasn't Much to Say
A Kansas reporter interviewed Captain Ray Edwards, of the Jay-bawker track sound. this morning.
"I see Missouri is doped to win by some five points," began the recr
Short silence ensues.
"Yeah," came the answer, noncommittal. "Well—let 'em, if they're men enough. But they'll have to fight!"
Another period of silence. Then the reporter:
"That doesn't mean," continue Edwards, "that we can't take a licking. But they've got to beat us be fore we DO take it. See?"
"That's for us to find out," he said
"What about this man Simpson—can he win four events?"
The Missouri-Kansas Entries:
More silence on the part of Ed wards. Then he gave a gesture that might mean anything from amusement to unbelief or contempt.

Bonnie Réber Sure
for Low Hurdles
Rv Earl R. Crabbe
The annual clash Friday night between the ancient rivals is to be a battle of coaching brains as well as a contest between well trained athletes. The mandarin who can place his men to compete means the greater number of points to the institution that pays his yearly stipend.
Tryouts for the cup competition were again deferred to enable Coach Hamilton to get a better line on the prospective sprint and hurdle material he needed to secure a place on the team for himself by his running in the 50-yard event in the basement of Fraser yesterday. He first defended Hamilton and followed this by a scant over Crowley, a newcomer in local athletic circles. Hilton's return to form over the weekend will be important for if he can but take second in the fifty, the K. U. chances of an eventual victory will be enhanced greatly.
Bonnie Reber looks sure of a place in the low hurdles. He disposed of both Heath and Sproul easily yesteryears, but he still heats from Sproull in the competition over the high flight. Elliott was unable to run in yesterday's tryouts. No definite selection of men will be made until the night of the meet, but Hamilton will have about four men on hand for each event and use the most probable point winners, when the actual competition begins.
Never before in the history of the dual competition have the coaches been faced by such a keen problem as that of placing Rodkey and Murphy to best advantage. Rodkey is the K. u. mentor's best bet from 440-yards to 5 miles while Murphy can show a clean pair of heels to the best fissure has to offer. The team who can make a profile point winner out of either of these men and still leave his man strong enough to stand a relay race, has an excellent chance of getting credit for winning this meet.
Quarter and Mile Uncertain
Quarter and Senior Choreographer
It is useless to try to do the quarter, but for miles in this meet for it all depends upon how the entries run. However with Rodkey, Fiske, Elswick, Creighton, Herrritt and Captain Ray Edwards, Kansas adherents do not look for less than 13 out of the possible 24 points in these races. And they are hoping that Murphy may possibly be se worn out by this open exhibition value in the relay, for past years experience have taught them that Murphy is a dangerous man.
In the sprint race Hamilton is confronted by a problem. He has several veterans who are showing only mediocre form and a couple of green recruits who are displaying an occasional burst of speed. None are in good shape. The Kansans will be well satisfied with a second place. Reber will probably be kept out of the sprint to save strength for the hurdles, where he is expected to give Simpson a good race in the low sticks and to crowd Daggy for a place in the high flight. Both flights would hold both flights, but hurdles are an uncertaint event and a spill might change the aspect.
McKay Superior to Simpson?
McKay Superior to Simpson?
If Simpson can do what is expected of him, he should beat McKay in the high jump but Hamilton in the long jump. McKay will win over the all-around Tiger athlete.
In the pole, the record books show Floyd of Missouri a favorite, with his team mate Powell a close runner-up but Kansas fans have implicit faith in Campbell, who has shown great skill and success since mastered the swing of correct vaulting form.
Kansas concedes herself 8 points in the two-mile unless Fawcett of Missouri can go well under 10 minutes. Both Grady and Poos look good for that mark. Reber and Keeling, the brobdingnagian football players look good in the shot. Reber is capable of well over 40 feet and Keeling at nearly 35 inches that mark, but is where near as consistent as his 'team mate'.
Dutch Wedell, chairman of the Mott Campaign committee, is ill and in bed with a combination of overwork and the gripe. Duck's strenuous efforts to make the Campaign a success proved a little too much for him, and a cold which he annexed last Sunday is proving his undoing. He hopes to be back on the Hill within a few days.
If the meet should hinge on the relay, there is no use speculating. Every follower of the game knows that this event is a great gamble and matches teams with mismatched teams, trying to pick a winner would only be a waste of space.

ANOTHER CONFERENCE COMMITTEE AT WORK
Three Senators and Five Representatives Try to End Split
A new committee of senators and representatives is now trying to harmonize the difference, amounting to one and three-quarter million dollars, existing between the house and senate appropriation budgets.
The new confederates were appointed as a result of the adoption by bot houses of the amended substitute for the senate resolution of Tuesday.
Members of the new committee are:
from the senate.
C. S. Huffman, of Cherokee;
From the senate:
J. W. Howe, of Dickinson.
J. M. Davis, of Bourbon .
From the house:
J. W. Howe, of Dickinson.
A. M. Keene, of Bourbon.
From the house:
A. M. Keene, of Bourbon.
Frank Pomeroy, of Jackson R. E.Bray, of Hamilton.
Only one of the senators, Huffman of Cherokee, comes from a district which has a state institution. The school of Mines is located in his district.
House Amends Resolution
H. J. Taylor, of Wabaunsee
I. G. Telless, of Franklin
The resolution offered by the senate asks for a new conference committee was amended by the house to read that no conference could be appointed from a district having a state institution. This in turn was amended by the senate to read that not more than one member from each house should be appointed from such a district; the senate also amended the original resolution to bar all members of former conference committees. The amendment was to exclude all members of the house ways and means committee of more than one session's experience.
The first amendment offered by the senate was accepted by the house, but the second was itself amended to admit one member from each house who had served on the first conference committee. The resolution was returned to the senate and accepted, and Howe, Huffman and Davis were named as conferences. The senate's acceptance was assessed to the Senate Speaker Store, ately named the five house conferences. According to the terms of the reso-
According to the terms of the resolution the conferences are to remain in conference until they either agree or find they cannot agree.
NO NEW DANCES AT PROFESSOR'S PARTY
They positively won't be allowed, those new steps. No corpulent professor will be allowed to go through the contortion of the fancy dances, in fact, some of them haven't yet gotten over that Virginia reel stunt which they staged at the All-University party two weeks ago. So when the professors entertain their wives at the University Club Friday night, the more dashing of the young-heads will appeal to tumult their steps to the tempo of those whose long years of pounding on ivory heads have made them stolid and proof against a fancy dance and a partner.
Maxixe Won't be Welcome There
To Organize Peace Club
Abbie Hay, the youngest freshman in the University, who broke his collar bone in gym class last week and was taken to his home in Perry, has returned to school and will continue his work. The bone is mending slowly, but does not interfere seriously with Hay's work on the Hill.
Hay Back in School
Send the Daily Kansan home
A club for discussion of problems of international peace will be organized at the Gloria Chi house to discuss membership is open to anyone interested.
The ladies' night was originally set for last Friday night, but was postponed because of the Mott meetings.

SELECT DEBATING TEAMS
Colorado and Oklahoma Representa-
tives Chosen—Missouri Later
Debaters for the Inter-Collegiate contests which come in April were chosen yesterday afternoon. Odds are that Harold Mattoon, Dodds, will take the affirmative against the Oklahoma team at Lawrence. Harold Mattoon, E. Kaufman, and C. E. Williamson will go to take the negative against Colorado.
Coach H. T. Hill, who is directing the preparation of the debate does not know definitely when the contests will be held, but they will occur sometime in April. The question for practice this year is the single tax on land.
TOMORROW LAST DAY

SCOOP JOINS
DAILY KANSAN STAFF
N President, Dept of Personnel Today
New Reporter Takes Position Today
If you feel a rub on the shoulder, a moist greeting on the hand or face, don't resent it and grow angry. For it may be Scoop, the Kansan cub, out on his beat, and he has the power of the press behind him.
Scoop, elected last night to honorary membership on the Kansan staff, before him have a rigorous course of training. This has been laid out by the Daily Kansan editor so that Scoop may miss no opportunity in perfecting himself in the rudiments of journalistic art.
First, he is to be taught to enjoy the taste of mucilage. This will not take long as Scoop has already shown admirable sticking qualities. This tendency will be utilized in putting him to the task of licking stamps and sealing all official envelopes and other mail matter .
Next he is expected to be the official masculine Pollyanna, the little sunbeam in the dark, murky, smudgy, Daily Kansan office. For when Professors Thorpe and Harrington have aged with the strain of adding up the demisert of journalism studious men still come to the mellow coolness of his nose soothe the troubled brows, figuratively speaking of course.
This valuable addition to the Daily Kansan Board is hereby introduced as Scoop, curly-tailed dog of the species "purp."
EIGHT FRATERNITY CLASSES
Form Bible Classes With Faculty Leaders
Eight fraternities have formed Bible study and discussion classes and others are now planning them Leaders are being chosen largely from the men of the faculty. The students at work are at least convenient for the various chapters.

Earter; for Pi Alpha Delta, Prof H. T. Hill; for Kappa Sigma, Prof E. W. Burges; for Pi Tau Delta, Rev Gordon Thompson.
Most of the classes have chosen as a text "The Manhood of the Master," although some have preferred "Student Standards of Action."

LOW GRADE RULE HITS THIS YEAR'S SENIORS
Must Have Two-Thirds I's and II's in Current Year to Get Degree
IT HAS BEEN MISUNDERSTOOD
Clause in Faculty Rules Contradicts Statements Given Out About Them Last Spring
"A student in order to be accepted as a candidate for the degree must have received a grade of I or II in at least eighty hours. Any student aid and advice allowed will be accepted as a candidate for the degree only in case such student has received on work done in residence the proportion of high grades provided in the foregoing regulation. Any student who fails the time of the adoption of this regulation will be accepted as a candidate for the degree only in case such student has received on the work done subsequent to its adoption the previous one, and attended in the foregoing regulation."—Section 52 from Rules of College Faculty.
Dean Olin Templin has something to say to College seniors. Last year a ruling was made to the effect that all candidates for degrees must have at least eighty hours of F's and G's, and must be seniors who were seniors at that time; Neither did it apply to work that was done by any students before that time but students' work since the rule was passed must be up to standard and this year's seniors must have been students in year the I or II class. If they have taken 30 hours of work this year they will have to obtain grades above a II in at least twenty hours in order to be a candidate for the degree. This is the explanation of the law: "If you are a student the new law has been miscon-
The new law has been miscon
strued in many instances and it has
been believed by many that the law
would apply only to freshmen this
year who would graduate in four
years, according to Dean Templin.
Former Statement Contradictory
The following paragraph appeared in the Daily Kansan on October 12, 1914, and was approved by Dean Templin before it was published, according to the reporter who secured the story:
Beginning with this semester a student must get two hours of credit with a grade of I or II for every hour completed. A grade of III. The present senior class is the only class exempt from this rule. Students who do not get the required amount of credit with a grade below that may be recommended for graduation.
Reasons for Ruling
"Reasons for passing such a ruling may be summed up and stated that heretofore degrees have been conferred upon seniors who merely skimmed through the work and were not prepared to make the showing of their university graduate," he said. "It also is believed that graduates will value their diplomas more highly after they have worked hard for four years in order to escape being embarrassed with too many III's."
WOMEN TO LEARN HOCKEY
Freshman and Sophomore Women to be Taught Game in Gymnastics
Now that the Mott meetings are over and the big Gym room is cleared of the chairs University women are to start playing hockey. It will be taught to the freshman and sophomore classes, but no teams will be chosen until they are all well acquainted with the game and then each class will choose its best team for basketball and there are not enough tennis courts to go around so hockey will be just the thing for girls who are tired of the routine of class work, Dr. Alice Goetz says.
Dr. Goetz wants the women from different sororities, clubs or any group of women just so there are eleven of them, to organize teams and have real sure enough games between each other.
