FOUR CUPS FOR HIGH SCHOOL TOURNAMENT
Trophies Have Arrived and Are to be Awarded at Big Meet
THE ENTRIES CLOSE MARCH 20
Games to be Played in Robinson Gymnasium March 26 and 27
Four beautiful loving cups, the prizes to be given in the coming High School Basketball Tournament, have arrived at Manager Hamilton's office, and were this morning place on exhibition in the trophy case. There is a west wall [h] of the Gym, amply reposing in the first window to the right as one enters.
Important changes in the rules governing the eighth annual High School Basketball Tournament, March 26 and 27, under the auspices of the University of Kansas have been announced by the faculty committee in charge. The old rules were limited to a limited number of teams with limited number of 47 teams from 32 counties, took part in the 1914 tournament, and more are expected this year.
No Rest for the Boys
Entry blanks are already beginning to come in, although the final date March 20, is still over two weeks off Yates Center high school boys' team has the honor of being the first quintet to enter the 1915 race.
The committee has cut down the number of minutes to each game until the semi-final round is reached. During the preliminary rounds boys' teams will now contest teams with no intermission to intermission and girl teams a like period of time but with a three minute intermission between the halves. The committee made this change because it is necessary for the teams to play five or six games. This was thought to be too great a strain for the junior athletes.
Loving Cups Offered
In the semi-final round, the teams will play two, fifteen minute periods with a five minute intermission, and, on the final day the contestants will struggle two regulation twenty minute halves. About eighty teams are expected to enter the 1915 tournament.
Champions to Dedend Titles
The winning quintets in both the girls' and boys' divisions will again be awarded silver loving cups, emblematic of the University's relationship and the summer up in each class will also receive a suitable trophy.
The Arkansas City team, which won the girls' title, and the Lawrence team, which nosed out Reno County in the boys' division, have both signified their intention of defending the honor gained last year.
Visiting players will have the benefit of expert advice along the line of basketball for Dr. James Naismith, director of physical education at the University of Kansas, each Hamilton of this year's victorious K. U. quintet is considered one of the best versed basketball men in the Missouri Valley.
Eighty per cent of the gross receipts of the game will be divided among the competing teams to help defray the expenses incurred by a trip to Lawrence. Last year 81,920 was divided between 47 teams, which covered the actual railroad fare for five men from each school.

EXTRA TRAIN TO DUAL MEET WITH MISSOURI?
If Thirty More Buy Tickets Special Will Carry Rooters to K. C.
Special trains for the accommodation of Jayhawkower rooters will be run between Lawrence and Kansas City for the Missouri-Kansas track meet, if the demand justifies it. A number of extra coaches will help to train the rooters to train to the City, and a special train will leave for Lawrence at midnight on the return trip. Thirty contestants and the K. U. band of 40 pieces have already signified their willingness to go on a special, and ultimately to guarantee the train. "I have no doubt but what we will secure ten times the number needed," said Manager W. O. Hamilton in discussing the matter this morning. "All students who wish to take advantage of the spec training will be able, if possible, and leave notice that they will make the trip on the special trains."
Manager Hamilton went to Kansas City this afternoon to make final arrangements for the seat sale for the meet. From all indications, the crowd this year will be unusually large. One fraternity on the Hill has already reserved two boxes, and many students are applying for individual seats for the meet area: Boxes $1; first eight rows, 75c; remainder of first balcony, 50c; all second balcony, unreserved, 25c.

779 STUDENTS EARN $103,048 PER YEAR
686 Men and 93 Women Mak Way Through University by Working
Approximately 779 students of the University are earning all or part of their expenses while attending the University, by working during the summer time; during the school year; or both, according to statistics of the Christian associations of the University.
The total amount earned by these students is estimated at $103,048. In making this estimate, the earnings of students working in clubs or restaurants are taken as well as thirty-two weeks of the school year was used in the calculations.
Only 49 Do No Work
Fifty-nine students are on the University pay roll. In the survey taken on enrollment day 735 men students out of the 1,487 reported and out of this number 49 said they did no work in the summer school year. Those working both during the summer and school year were 349. Those that do work only during the summer 313 and those that work during the school year but not during the summer are twenty four and room and room during the school year.
The employment bureaus of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. keep in close touch with the students of the university, as well as with the employment and the employees who use students. In his way, it has been possible to keep practically all of the students employed by the employers employed with the help that they need.
The boarding houses claim the largest number of student workers. A preacher received the largest amount of pay for his services. Other jobs that are held by the students are clerks, druggists, janitors, paper card maisters, custodians, assistants, librarians, musicians, and singers, hotel clerks, furnace men, confectioners, photographers, laundry men, barbers, jewelers, telephone employees, salesmen, pantatorium workers, printers, fow'tahws, collectors, law officers, trainees, tactical agent, weather observer, abstracted canvassing, and odd jobs.
A letter from Dr. John R. Mott received yesterday requests additional time inorder that he may be at liberty to dismount and travel on a war zone. We wish to accord Dr. Mott a full hearing. The convocation period therefore will run into the 11:30 hour and quizzes ought not to be schored without his hour, but classes will be held.

RELIGION DEFINITE IN COLLEGE WOMAN'S LIF
Serious Side of University Work Brought Out by Y.W.C.A. Leaders
Anne Gittins.
Religion has a very definite and vital place in the lives of college women. This is shown in the work done in the Young Women's Christian Association which teaches all lines of definite Christian service.
Besides attending one regular Association meeting at 4:30 o'clock each Tuesday the women of the Y. W. are doing a great deal of outside religious work. But at the meetings topics of a practical nature that vitaly concern a college woman are discussed, also topics of a deeper and more vital nature are taken up by competent leaders. The average attendance weekly meetings is that one hundred per number than ever before. The aim of the Association membership is to know Christ as a personal Savior and to as a most vital factor in the life of adon His standard for our lives.
Some of the real work done stands the University. Probably no work has been more helpful than the Big Sister Movement, under the leadership of Evelyn Strong. Students, each captain having charge over ten Big Sisters. Each of these one hundred Big Sisters have two or three freshmen as little sisters in whom they are vitally interested and whom they have helped in every way to make the first university pleasant and worth while.
The Big Sister movement has meant a great deal to the younger women and also a great deal in the lives of the older sisters. Many very successful sisters have as a result of this mutual interest between the upper and lower classmen.
The social stunts given by the Association have been well attended, Especially is this true as regards the joint parties given by the Y. V. C. A. The democratic spirit shown by the four or five hundred students that gather at these parties show their real value in the lives of the students.
The Association has thirteen women who teach Bible classes at the Haskell Institute every Tuesday evening. They meet with Mrs. A. M. Wilcox at 7 o'clock for a short discussion of the Bible. They stay there until they hear the wagonettes driven in from the church. Then they stow themselves away under the curtains of the vehicles, and go out to their classings singing.
As a means of developing women for leadership the first Y. W. cabinet is made up of eighteen students, each woman being a chairman of a committee or an officer. This year a new plan of training more women as leaders has been instituted. A second cabinet has been formed, made up of
WANT STATE TO HAVE ARTISTIC LANDSCAPES
To create a more general interest in campus beauty, the department of architectural engineering is making plans to prepare a series of illustrated lectures to be given throughout the state. Slides illustrating campus-planning in American universities and colleges will be shown, and also students will have the opportunity to beautify at the University of Kansas. Owing to the short time in which to obtain slides and funds, the work will not be taken up until next fall.
It is the hope of the department of architectural engineering to be able by the use of the lectures and slides, to show the people of Kansas what is being at the University, and to show the campus can be easily beautified.

BRAVE STORM FOR ELLIOTT
Six Hundred Students Defy Blasts to
Hear Leader in Morning Prayers
Six hundred students climbed the Hill through the snow this morning to hear Harrison S. Elliott, international host for M. C. A., speak at morning prayers.
"Many people," said Mr. Elliott, "seem to embrace the Christian religion because they know it will give them something. It will indeed, but the mark of a true Christian is his willingness to sacrifice and give. He who saveth his life shall lose it, but he that loseth his life the same shall find it. It is better to be a spendthrift than miser for a man's thrift. They may do somebody good somewhere. If a friend of yours is leading a righteous ticket in an election, and you sit around in a corner saying nothing for him, will he have any reason to believe that you are hi friend?"
Hay Taken Home
Abbie Hay, K. U.'s youngest fresh man, who was injured yesterday while doing horizontal bar work in the Gym, spent a restless night and this morning returned to his home in Perry, where he will remain until his injury is healed. Hay suffered a fracture of the left clavicle.

These are only a few of the activities of the Association. The main standard is that Y. W. is to develop the higher standard of the woman student's life.
TED MERGER HERE AND MOTT DUE TOMORROW
Real Work of Campaign About to Begin — Dr. Mott in Convocation
LAYMOND ROBINS SPEAKS
Filled Lower Floor of Gymnasium Yesterday Afternoon Despite Bad Weather
The Mott-Robins campaign will receive reinforcements tomorrow morning when John R. Mott arrives at the University. The heaviest work of the meetings will begin. Dr. Mott will speak in concession at 10:30 o'clock in Robinson Gymnasium and Chancellor Frank Strong has requested that professors position quizzes for 11:45 o'clock. Dr. Mott might not finish his speech in time to give a full hour period afterwards.
Ted Mercer arrived here this morning and is getting his ammunition ready to fire. With Dr. Mott, Ted Mercer, and Raymond Robins here, the three biggest leaders of the week will be on the ground.
John R. Mott, world-citizen, diplomat, philanthropist, is spoken of by Theodore Roosevelt as one of the three most influential men in the world, probably the most celebrated individual who has had to do with the extension of the Christian religion and the earthly career of its Founder.
Joseph H. Odell, in a late number
The Outlook, writes of Mott, in
tribute to Joseph H. Odell.
Looks Like Kitchener
"This man—who has influenced more young men than any other man living, who is the most widely known figure in the academic life of five continents, and who today is the leading force in aggressive Christianity,—of what kind is he? He is stamped with all the character of a businessman, forehead that raises ears-like from bushy brows, the square jaw unconsciously pushed out when speaking as if to meet and defy opposition, the eyes that sweep and pierce at the same time, the neck that bears the head with a grace and strength that makes one think of a pillar in the Parthenon, the body that suggests muscles trained for endurance, all combine to indicate a man and dominate situations. He is a man built for conquests. Take off Lord Kitchens' mustache and you have John R. Mott."
Is a Cornell Grad
Being a college man, he naturally looks to the universities to furnish leadership for the truly great undertakings in life.
Mr. Mott graduated from Cornell in 1888. Yale gave him his master's degree in 1899. Edinburgh conferred LL. D. upon him in 1910. In June, 1911, Princeton made him a Doctor of Laws.
"Such a view is what nerved Mott for the ausacious plan of capturing the student body of the universities all over the world. His very audacity fascinates and predisposes the students to follow his leadership. He stands before them in his virile manhood and challenges, dares, and dazzles their every energy and consume their last ounce of force. Like Garibaldi, he offers pain, privation, blood, death and victory. Mott holds that the best manhood will always respond to a program like that."
H. J. Waters, president of the state Agricultural College, Ed. T. Hackney and E. W., Hoch of the Board of Administration have not been able to get to Lawrence for the purpose of working with for appropriations they are leading in the state legislature. They will come later in the week if possible.
in First Mass Meeting
Slush and a wet snow didn't keep six hundred men from splashing up the slippery hill last night to hear Raymond Robins speak at the first men's meeting. Mr. Robins devoted most of his speech to a discussion of the methods used by the methods used by Chicago. After the general lecture, he gave a brief discussion of the principles of conducting social reforms.
He predicted, constantly growing industrial problems for Kansas.
"If men go to sleep at the switch here in Kansas, conditions will develop just as surely, as they have developed in other places," Mr. Robinson says. "The fact is that Kansas, the mining districts are having industrial troubles which ought to
