ONLY ONE GAME LOST BY JAYHAWKER FIVE
NUMBER 102
Coach Hamilton's Men Have Won Thirteen Conference Scraps This Season
AGGIES ONLY CONQUERORS
Tigers Tumbled Four Times Befor Their Ancient Enemy of the Crimson and Blue
With another Missouri Valley basketball championship chalked down indelibly to the account of Mr. K. Jayhawk, the Crimson and B. squad returned yesterday from its triumph at St. Louis, where it twice defeated both the University of Missouri and Washington University. And with the return of the Kansas warriors comes the close of the season; a highly successful son, too, won thirteen and but one of the Conference games she played.
games she played.
Starting transpiciously with two contests at Ames on January 8 and 9, Coach Jamilon's basketeers played steadily through their strenuous module of fourteen Conference games, losing but one of them. The first Ames contest was won rather easily by a 29 to 22 score, but the second was fiercely contested, and decided to Kansas only after five minutes of extra play. The score in the second game was 27 to 23.
All Tumbled Before K. U.
Warensburg Normal was the first team to oppose the Jayhawkers on our own court, and just to show off before the home folks, the Crimson and Blue quintet romped about for a 46 to 20 victory. Then came William Jewell for the second home game. For t' first time in the season, the band was present at the game; and whether or not music had any effect on the playing, the Jayhawker team won by the large margin of 55 to 21.
Even Nebraska
Next came the Nebraska quintet still gloating over last fall's football victory. But did the sturdy Kansas warriors falter at the thought of past defeat? Not a bit! And two more basketball scalps were added to our string, while the score keeper chalked 45 to 17 and 30 to 23 on the boards. Following the Nebraska contests came two games with the Kansas Aggies, played by the Farmer court at Lowman's Flighting consistently against Lowman's proteges, K. U won both contests; the first by the comparatively safe score of 38 to 22; the second by a 36 to 32 battle, hard fought to the finish.
Curses—Aggies Beat Us
After the Agglies, came one game with the Washburn ichabads. Kansas has never had much trouble in subduing the Topeka friends, and the operation was accomplished this year by a 53 to 28 victory that plainly showed the relative merits of the two teams.
Then came Old Man Defeat to chalk down his only mark of the 1915 season—the first Agie game on the K. U. court. 'Tis true that the Jayhawkers suffered from a lack of the manners and that the players played the poorest game of its career. Nevertheless, the man at the scoreboard failed to take these things into consideration, and the result was a defeat, 21 to 10. The teams came back with a vengeance, and proceeded to clean up on the Farmers some 39 to 20.
After the Aggies came four straight games with Missouri, two in Lawrence and two in Columbia. And as a means of getting even for that Turkey Day disaster last fall, the Jayhawker won all four contests by the following scores (from 31 to 28 and 31 to 28). The last two games of the season were played in St. Louis on Friday and Saturday of last week with Washington University. Kansas won both of them, by 48 to 16 and 39 to 20 scores.

HEINZMAN LED IN PRAYERS
Largest Crowd of Year Heard Inter national Y. M. Secretary This
Morning
The largest crowd to attend morning prayer services this year gathered in Fraser chapel this morning. Six hundred students heard a talk by H. L. Heinzman, '06, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
"What are you doing here?" was the question asked by Mr. Heinzman. "Nine years ago, when I walked across this platform and received

from the hands of Chancellor Strong a roll of parchment tied with ribbon, I thought that was what I had labored four years to get. But the years since I left the Hill have shown me that was one of the smallest things one should work for in college. If I should ask every student to write a single sentence on a card and put it where he could read it often, the sentence would be the question. "What am I doing here?" too many men go to University with the wrong aim in view, and allow interests of minor importance to shut out from their sight the development of Christian character."
Tomorrow morning's chapel will be led by John L. Childs of Chicago, an international secretary of the Y. M. C. A.

With Lefty Sproull, Stuffy Dumire, and Beadie Weaver out of the basketball lineup for next year, and a possibility of Folks graduating, Coach Hamilton is beginning to cast his eagle eye about the campus in search of 1916 Varsity material. It was learned this morning Sorensen will be able to play next year, and this will be a great help to the Jayhawker mentor in lining up next year's Valley champions.

"PLANT EVERGREENS AROUND 1914 BENCH"
Shrubs Would Take Away Angular Appearance, Prof. Goldsmith Thinks
A few shrubs, judiciously selected and planted, would convert the 1914 memorial bench just west of Green Hall into one of the most beautiful campus, in the opinion of Goldwin Goldsmith, professor of architecture
The bench at present has nothing near it to break up the angularity of its lines and it sits awkwardly on the slope of the campus, apparently need to slide down onto the street car or be as soon as someone gives it a push.
"A suitable variety of evergreen would add considerably to the beauty of the place," Professor Goldsmith says. "The scrub variety should be used as an undergrowth with high growth to obstruct the view from the campus and would tend to give the bench a cozy and attractive appearance which it now lacks. The view from the bench is the most important one afforded by evergreens in a few places, and evergreens at the back would be a great improvement to its appearance."
but the simple remedy proposed by Professor Goldsmith would completely change the appearance of the spot and would cost little.
CHORAL UNION TO PRACTICE
First Rehearsal to be Held in Fraternal Aid Hall Tonight
The Lawrence Choral Union will meet tonight for its first rehearsal at the Fraternal Aid Hall at 7:30 o'clock. The officers wish to extend a cordial invitation to all people interested to come out to this first meeting and join the Union. Members will begin the "Rose Maiden" chorus" from the "Roses Maiden," by Cowen, and the "Anvil Chorus" from "Il Trovatore," by Verdi.
The executive committee, consisting of Prof. W. C. Downing, Prof. J. N. Van der Vries and Mrs. Maund Cook Anderson, former assistant professor in the University, reports that a great deal of interest is being shown in the plan.
"We expect about 150 people' out for practice this evening," said Mrs. Anderson, the society's accompanist, this morning, "and we believe that the Union will do much to get the students of the University and the people of the town acquainted and on a friendly footing."
Irwin, W. B. Downing, professor of voice in the University School of Fine Arts, will direct the practice.
SENIOR CREDITS IN JEOPARDY
Registrar Foster Checking up Courses of Would-Be Grads
Employees in the Registrar's office are checking over the courses that seniors are enrolled in this semester. After this is completed the entire force will do its best to ferret out some deficiency in the credits possessed by the four hundred seniors. It is an annual occurrence and unless next June, keep a sharp lookout and are sure they do not owe as much as ten cents laboratory fee, some disappointments will result.
Registrar Foster said it would take at least a week to find the short comings of the seniors and that from then until the end of the semester his office would be the scene of pleading, bluffing and legitimate attempts to straighten out the crooks in credit sheets.
The catalog committee is trying to have the bulletin off the press by April 1. New materials being a week short descriptions of the institutions of the University and other information will have been turned in for Registration at the University of the bulletin will be sent to the press.
Nearly fifty pages have been taken from the old University catalog and Registrar George O. Foster has made a dummy for part of the material that will appear in the general information bulletin.

SIX KANSAS COLLEGES USE SIMPLE SPELLING
This Year Shows Rapid Gain in Big Schools of Middle
The Simplified Spelling Board has just issued a leaflet which shows that thirty-five colleges and universities have adopted simplified spelling during preschool until age together. Six of these are Kansas colleges; Bethel, College of Emporia, Friends, Kansas City University, McPherson, Southernwest and Bethany. This year an effort is to reach the colleges of the country.
The University of Kansas does not appear in the list, but the state universities of some other states do, such as Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, North Dakota, as well as such other schools as the University of Pittsburgh and Northwestern University.
Missouri is progressing more rapidly than Kansas, for nine colleges in Missouri have adopted simplification while only seven have taken action in Kansas. It is only fair to say that the matter has been presented to only eight Kansas colleges so far. One rejected it because the president decided a tie vote of the faculty by voting in the negative.
Faculty Favors It
Last year a poll of the University faculty showed that of those who replied, sixty-eight were in favor of the adoption of simplified spelling in the publications of the University, fifty were opposed, and one was indifferent. The matter was further addressed for action. The University Senate has appointed a committee which has not yet reported.
Three members of the University faculty are members of the Advisory Council of the Simplified Spelling Board; Professor Eugenia Galoo, E. M. Hopkins, and DeWitt C. Croissant.
Resolutions asking the state text book commission to use simpler spelling in the text books published by the state have been adopted in various places by a total of 40 colleges and the college teachers who attended the English round tables at the State Teachers' Association meeting in November are in favor of simplification and over 75 per cent of our students are likewise in favor. The Kansas Association of Teachers of English unanimously adopted its use in its official publications, and passed resolutions requesting our institutions of higher learning to ask the board of directors of the State Teachers' Association to submit the matter to the Association.

HASH HOUSE MAGNETS MEET
Baseball Team Representatives to Arrange Schedule Tonight
Representatives of the teams in the Hash House League will meet in the Daily Kansan office tonight for the purpose of re-organization.
An attempt will be made to start play as early as the weather will permit, in order that the schedule may be concluded before the rush of the last few weeks. Sixteen teams were entered in the league last year, and it is expected that about the same number will compete this year.
ATTACKED REFEREE QUIGLEY
After Manhattan Five Had Won, Missouri Students Rushed on Official
E. C. Quigley was attacked last night by several hundred students of the University of Missouri, who were angered by his decisions in a basketball game. Missouri lost the game of the Missouri Valley Conference series to the Kansas Agricultural college by a score of 28 to 19. As the game in the Rothwell gymnasium ended the students rushed upon Quigley.
Several members of the faculty and the coaches of both teams came to his aid and retreated with him to a dressing room where he prepped his brassiere. Quizley was not injured.
ENGINEERS DESIGN PLANT
Experiment to Do Away With Waste Oil From Refineries
The department of sanitary engineering is designing an experimental plant for disposing of the waste from the oil refineries which have been emptying the refuse into the Verdigris river and causing considerable trouble in the water supply of the towns of Neodesha, Cherryvale, Independence and others along that stream.
Experiments have been made in the State Board of Health's water and sewage laboratory in Snow Hall and a similar plant, in Tucson. C. A. Haskins has made a personal investigation of the complaint in that district.
