SHORTEN PERIODS IN BASKET BALL TOURNEY
Committee Cuts Down Length of Games in Annual High School Contest
TOO BIG STRAIN FOR PLAYERS
' Teams Reaching Finals Are Tired After Playing Five or Six Games —Regulation Finals
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 drawn up to adhere to the team's requirements; 47 teams from 32 counties, took part in the 1914 tournament, and more are expected this year.
No Rest for the Boys
The committee has cut down the number of minutes to each game until the semi-final round is reached. During the preliminary boys' teams will now contend in a single round with no intermission and girls' 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 reaching the final round. This was thought to be too great a strain for the junior athletes.
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.
Loving Cups Offered
The winning quintets in both the girls' and boys' divisions will again be awarded silver loving cups, emblematic of the University of Kansas tournament. The winner up in each class will also receive a suitable trophy.
Champions to Dedend Titles
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. Coach Hamilton of this year's victorious K. U. quintet is considered one of the best versed basketball men in the Missouri Valley.
The Arkansas City team, which won the girl's 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.
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. $52,120 was spent on the 47 teams, which almost covered the actual railroad fare for five men from each school.

POLISHING THE SOFT WORD
"The Professor's Love Story," a three act comedy by James M. Barrie, will be presented at the Bowersock theatre February 23 by the senior class. Under the direction of the department in public education, students are undergoing preparation for the past two months, and the finishing touches are being added this week at the final rehearsals. Work on the stage in Green Hall has been abandoned for actual and complete rehearsals on the stage of the Bowering theatre, will have adequate preparation and the play promises to be a success.
Romantic Lines of the 'Professor's Love Story' Nearly Perfect
The plot of the story is concerned with a fossilized professor who, intent upon his work in electrical research, suddenly breaks in health. Simultaneously, he falls in love with his secretary. An elderly lady of the village Lady Gilding, complicates matters by falling in love with the professor, and the struggle which ensues is one between the secretary and the dowager. The professor has a struggle of his own in trying to convince himself that he is really in love. He finally confronts her, wooing the object of his affections. The last act of the play determines who that "object" is.
A clever underplot concerned with the love story of the professor's elderly sister, Agnes Goodwillie, furnishes an element of pathos. There is plenty of comedy, too, furnished by a character named Sally Henders, two Scotch pals, Effe, the Scotch maid, and the Dowager Lady Gliding.

CAN'T CUT CLASSES FOR RUSHING DATES
Women Will Confine Activities to Afternoon Hours on School Days
Sororities, will not be allowed to rush during class hours next year according to the ruling passed yesterday by the Women's Pan-Hellenic League.
In the past rushing has interfered considerably with classes during the first week of school, and the new rule is expected to eliminate the difficulty. As before, on enrollment and registration days, rushing will continue all day, and no other penalty will be applied. But white clothes are being held, rushing will be confined to the hours of 2 to 8 o'clock. Rushing will continue for 10 days.
A trial court will investigate all complaints concerning irregularities. The board will consist of one alumna member of each sorority—four of whom must be on the faculty, and the advisor of women.
The system has been tried out successfully at Nebraska and California

SEES MORAL UPLIFT IN LARGE SCHOOLS
Bishop Henderson, After Visiting K. U., Pronounces Conditions Favorable
Dishop T. S. Henderson of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who has just completed a brief religious campaign among the students of the University of Kansas, think that men and women at the large state institutions throughout the Middle West are showing a deeper interest in moral questions than at any time during the past ten years.
"Ten years ago, when I first began to visit large institutions, I found that students were often scoffers at religion and that many led riotious lives," said the Bishop, "but now the real leaders among the undergraduates are godly men and women. During this trip, I have visited the state universities of Texas, Nebraska, and Kansas as well as several small universities around the world where I found an interest in my work and a response to my message.
"Conditions in Kansas are much more favorable than at many state institutions where the temptation is greater. At one Southern college, fraternity men tell me that they never meet except around a keg of beer, while here I find that the fragrance of their home is come in contact, are men who try to perpetuate the ideals of the home life.
Prof. Duffus Back Again
"That is the proper condition" concluded the Bishop, "for the tax-payers who support the work, realize that the great leaders in industry, in professional life, and in public life should be educated to which the schools are turning out to replace them, must be men of character as well as learning."
Prof. William Duffus, successor to Prof. V. N. Valgren as assistant professor of economics, has returned from Vermont where he was called last week to attend the funeral of his mother. Professor Duffus will meet his classes regularly beginning tomorrow morning.

SQUEEZED OUT AGGIES BY 2 POINTS IN RELAY
Lovett Stopped Running by Mistake and Meet Went to Kansas
THE FINAL SCORE $ 43\% $ TO $ 41\% $
Dope Favored Manhattan, Reber
Scored Heavies for Jayhawkers
With Shot-put and Hurdles
of time spelled defeat for the visitors. But even in defeat, the men from Manhattan must be given due credit. On October 13, 2014, a team has developed a team which, man for man, compares favorably with the Kansas veterans who last year downed every Missouri Valley conference team, in dual competition. On the teams' first day of play, they strapped their ability to come from behind, for at no time until the final result was posted did the scoreboard show a margin on the Kansas side.
Rodkey Breaks Record
Overcoming a three-point lead in the last event of the meet, the relay race, the K. U. track team last night defeated the Agleys by a score of 43% to 41% in a contest marked by sensational finishes and surprises which kept the large crowd on its feet during the greater part of the evening. What promised to be the most exciting moment of the program suddenly shifted to an easy victory for the Jayhawker squad when Lovett, the second Agiey继 runner, stopped a lap before completing his full course. This mistake and its consequent loss of time spelled defeat for the visitors.
One record for the dual competition was shattered when Fred Rodkey erased "Cupid" Haddock's name from the books by running the quarter in 56 1.5-1.5 of a second better than Haddock used to do it. Rodkey barely nosed out Holroyd of the Aggries, and turned to his high profile team mate, Captain Coith. The failure of the newly elected Aggie captain to win a point was one of the fortunate incidents of the evening. The most prolific point winner were Frizzell for the Purple and White and Reber for the Crimson and the Blue. Frizzell obtained two firsts in the hurdles he hit and Reber's hurdling and shotput contributed eight to the Kansas score.
The evening began auspiciously for the Aggies when Osborn and Crumbaker romped home easy winners in the 30 yard event, but Kansas came back by shutting Weaver out in the mile. Harriott on the race with Edwards mushing at his heels. Edwards later ran a fast lap in the relaw.
Just as the Kansans had upset the dope in the eight furlong event, the Aggies furnished a surprise in Wilder, a new half miler who ran Fiskie off his feet in the half. Rodley entered this event but had not recovered from his strenuous quarter and retired in the seventh lap.
Campbell showed good form in the vault and could have gone higher had he been pressed. His 10-3 was three inches more than his rivals could clear. Campbell worked with an even swing every time he vaulted.
