Petition Athletic Association
to the Athletic Association of the University of Kansas;
The question of assistance from the Athletic Association was discussed, and the following resolution adopted:
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 3, 1915
The representatives of the Hash House League, which numbers in all more than 200 members, respectfully urge upon your desirability or offer you the sort of assistance to the League, of equipment or money, and access to grounds, with a view of perfecting a better and more stable organization. The representatives of the League suggest the provision of paraphernalia, such as叫s the appropriation of a reasonable sum of money, its expenditure administered by the Commission, with accountability to your body. In substitution of its petition, the representatives would call your attention to the fact that athletics at the University includes very many and given a very few, unsupervised physical education, conceded to be desirable, is provided at a considerable expense, whereas the Hash House League brings the entrance of more than 200 men into voluntary exercise without any care to the facts and others, in view the representatives of the League respectfully urge your attention to the requests and suggestions contained herein.
The Hash House League.
Number and Eligibility of Players 1. Players on the Varsity will be required to play some position other than their regular position on the Varsity. Any team playing a Varsity player in his regular position shall forfeit the game or games to its opponent.

"We expect to receive entries daily from now until March 20, the final date," said Manager Hamilton. "Interest in the tournament seems to be greater than ever before, and we expect the largest competition in history. We are going to play them this year; enter them, as well as let them play basketball. The mere fact that we will divide eighty per cent of the receipts among the teams ought to show that we want them to come."
Four handsome cups are to be given, two large ones to the victorious teams in boys' and girl's competition, smaller cups to the runner-up teams.

I was teaching at Cornell from 1885 to 1890, and graduated in 1888. He was one of the leading spirits in the university, and a young man of strong character, but a young one would have prophesied that he was soon to occupy a position of such importance and international significance as he has attained."
Prof. George C. Shaad, of the School of Engineering will go to Marysville the latter part of the week to assist the city in sitting a controversy over a light company it is accused of street lights tite and identify same.

HIST! THE COUNCIL'S AFTER POKER SHARKS
Students Found Guilty of Gambling Are to be Suspended for One Week
With three hundred meetings scheduled in connection with the Mott-Robin meetings the men of the University ought not have much trouble in staying in the straight and narrow path. But just to prevent any pagan soul from neglecting the ways of rectitude, the Student Council, in session duly assembled in Fraser Hall last night, decreed that any student found guilty of passing police chips in wee small hours, or flipping pennies, or playing cards or狞棋sweeps, is to be forthwith suspended from his arduous duties on Mount Orford for the period of one week.
The Student Council elected Pat Crowell and Raymond Walters to fill the two vacancies in the representation from the College.
The Council also changed the method of dividing the profits from the senior play; in the future the dramatic fund of the department of public speaking will get one-third of the profits, the Student Council one-third, and the general fund of the senior class the remainder.
A committee was appointed to work with the representatives of the W. S. G. A. and the University Senate to prepare a team, called the ultimate adoption of the point system in the University.

The pulse of "Tipperary" is very aint. There is no hope for recovery. his voice is beginning to quiver, his eyes drowp. His joints are clogged with rheumatism; his limbs are twisted and bent; his cheeks are bulged out with the mumps; he has fits of epilepsy interspersed by delirium tremens. Our理事会 about to pass in chess—agreed 2 years and six months, yet too weak to attend and the crisis is expected to come any moment.

Raymond Robins' Talk
"Looking back through the mist of twenty years, I see a shaft in a coal mine. A cave-in had imprisoned seventeen as good men as ever lived. He shall never forget our foreman, how he stood strainning under the weight of a falen timber; the sweat muscled from his forehead as he tried to lift it, shouting to us around him, "Dig, boys, dig like hell!" You've got seven minutes to save those men, and the rest of your lives to think about it. And that is the message I give to you of the Mott committee days to do this job, and the rest of your lives to think about it."
This was Raymond Robins' final charge to the Mott campaign committee at the banquet in Myers Hall last evening.
"I think this campaign is of supreme importance," declared Mr. Robins. "This is not my game. My game is on you and on me, in the battle against industrial oppression and crooked government. But years of experience have shown me that the men who stick are the men who have an anchor in this world, and that is why I am anxious to take part in this campaign.
Have Strong Bodies
"I want you all to have strong bodies. You must have keen minds. The mightiest forces working against social, political, and economic forces in the world are men who are strong in body, keen of intellect, but regardless of the principles of religion. I come here for men. I'm through with this game in a little while. Upon the death of your father, the burden which my generation is carrying, and you, the young men, must be prepared to meet these problems.
Up to Kansas Men
"I believe that the students of the United States today face the most critical situation in the history of the world, being with it. But there are some things that I can say of the students of the University of Kansas that I could not say a college in any other state of the country has to deal with the environment, they have a better chance for strong and efficient manhood than the young men of any
