JAYHAWKERS HUMBLE WARRENSBURG, 46-20
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1915. FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 1915
The 1915 Jayhawker basketball five showed eight hundred home folks how they do it by handing Phog Alen's Warrensburg Normals a 4-20 defeat last night in the first home game played in Robinson, Gymnasium.
Kansas Takes Big End of First Home Game—Normals Outweighed
individual point honors went to Sorengen, the successor to Van der Vries at forward. The newcomer made all of the beautiful runs all of the sensational variety. Lefty Sproull, last year's captain, showed he was still in the game, with four field goals. Owing to the fact that the Normals made only three home runs, he had little chance to show the hometown folks his free-throwing ability.
The proteges of Allen succeeded in counting ten points during the half aided by six free throws by Menz. The former Central high school player of Kansas City had not missed a free throw during the season until last night. The first half count by the glass was counted on the second of nine attempts but the second period found him back to his old form, dropping in six out of seven tries. Sixteen of the visitor's twenty points were scored by him.
Outweighed nearly thirty pounds to the man the Normals gave Captain Dunnire's heavy weights an awful scrap during the first ten minutes of the first half. But weight told and by the end of the period the Crimson and Blue had taken an 18-10 lead.
Four substitutions were made by Coach Hamilton in the second half, Folks taking Kaiser's place, Cole relieving Weaver and Wearer, and Svenson. Coach Allen made only one substitution and that was late in the second period after the Dummire five had run up their big lead. Baldwin was sent in for Rafter and Ragan Menz were products of Kansas City basketball.
The second half was all Kansas, Not until nearly the end of the period were the Missouriians able to get Jayhawker guards for a field goal.

Last night's contest was between the ancient giant and the even more ancient pygmy. If the Jayhawker players average 6 feet one, it is safe to say that the Normals do not average more than 5 feet seven. Lefty Sproull twice shook off a guard and looked down on him with an "says the ant to the elephant air" before passing the ball on.
Giant vs. Pvgmv
Sorensen Won Game by Self
Winning a whole basketball game by himself, is the feat accredited to Sorensen, the Kansas forward by Eag Price, the old Baker forward. Price says that Sorensen, as a forward for McPherson College, once made every point that his team scored in beating Baker on the McPherson court. Sorensen certainly looked good last night.
Apple Coming Man
Kansas fans were given their first opportunity to see Apple in a college game. He is fast on his feet, but nervousness last night, when he met with another year under Hamilton, he should be made into a first team regular.
Stuffy Plays Defensive
Captain Stuffy Dunmire played a strictly defensive game last night. He hovered under the goal posts incessantly and broke up many a passing rush of the diminutive Normal players.

Dean Arvin Olin, of the School of Education, says that the schools used to fear to take College or University graduates on their faculties who had no practical knowledge of teaching, but this changed when the Kansas graduates. For besides the regular faculty of Oread High School which consists of Mr. Herbert W. Nutt, principal and Miss Lela Battey, instructor in English, there are seventy-five senior students who are trained to be the remainder of the work and who are candidates for state diplomas.

SUNDWALL CRITICIZES
REPORT OF SURVEY
Doctor Does Not Like Features of Recommendation of Medical Commission
"While the bill framed by the Medical Survey to be presented to the state legislature would do a great deal of good in its present form," says Dr. John Sundwall, professor of medicine in the School of Medicine, "it is by no means ideal. The best answer is to teach quacks from practising, and so abolish one of the greatest evils in Kansas today.
"My principal objection to the bill as it now stands is that it demands of candidates for licenses, a four years high school course. The intention is to cut the cost but I think it would be better simply to demand fifteen or sixteen high school credits. Me...m in thinking so is this. My enter the professions rather late in life and some of them are still in college day are men who began their professional training after the age of twenty-five. Such men are easily capable of completing sixteen units of high school work in three years, which would normally require the time specifications as expressed in this bill can be justly enforced.
Doctor Sundwall's second objection is that the bill discriminates against students of the state $^{1}$ ery症 by not requiring from all and unbiased schools such treatment, which is prerequisite to entrance to the University Medical School.
"In this respect," he says, "Kansas is not abreast of other many states, or even of its own University. At least two years of college training in biology, physics, and chemistry along with other college studies, / or other advanced study, medicine—as much so as训练 anatomy and physiology."
The mystery is about to be revealed.
Before entering the School of Arts, here, students must present sixty hours of college work, including a course in statistics, economics, and German. In I.O. Doctor Walt's opinion it is not "fair," while exacting this preliminary training from University students, to throw more emphasis on who have only high school preparation.
"I fully appreciate the difficulties of framing such a bill," concluded the doctor, "as I have had some experience with it and believe these remarks is not to criticize harshly or unjustly, for it may be that this bill is the best the committee has written." But it simply to point out details in which I think the bill might be improved."

Who Will Carry Torches to Light the Weary Way
All year long, in secret, they have worked together. All year their identity has been guessed at, and speculated upon, but no one knows, just who they may be. A girl here, a girl there has been suspected. But she doesn't yet know the mystery has not been cleared up. Now, a month before the time of the revelation, no one knows who are the members of Torch.
Torch is the word that is in the back of the mind of every active junior woman at this time. Torch is the honorary society of senior women, the Student Council of May of their junior year. There are nine members, elected by the graduating Torches. The election is not made public, and no one in the University knows the identity of the torch bearer. Torch was leaving February.

Professor Schwegler Holds Tendency to Help is Lift to Power
"Charity is the fourth great key to power," said Prof. R. A. Schwerger this morning in morning prayers "By charity I do not mean a tendency to reach down in your pocket for a nickel for some man's lodging, but an interest and concern for your fellow men in all they do. The all-obsessing sin of the age is selfishness." The splendor is meant to be myself.

The Museum received by yesterday's mail four specimens of Lap land Longspurs from Sedgwick These birds were found dead in the streets along with hundreds of others of the same species by Mr. A Gevene and were sent in for identification.
PROVE BIRDS ARE NOT GOOD WEATHER PROPHETS
It was formerly thought that birds could forge the approach of storms and by their powers of flight could out distance them. But today by studying the migration waves of this country it can be shown that birds cannot forge these events so far as to that so many thousands perish each year by being caught in storms and frozen to death?

ILLINOIS MAY MEET K. U. IN URBANA OCTOBER 2
Eastern Team Offers Unsolicited Game to Jayhawkers-Athletic Board to Make Decision Soon
Illinois vs. Kansas, football, October 2. How does it sound?
A telegram was received this morning by Manager W. O. Hamilton from George Huff, director of athletics at Illinois, offering a game to Kansas to be played October 2 at Urbana. Manager Hamilton will call a meeting of the Athletic Board as early as possible to get its opinion on the matter. He is conferring today with the members of the schedule committee.
"The game would be a fine thing for the team," said Manager Hamilton this morning in discussing the offer. "It all remains now to see if Illinois will accept our terms. If we can take a full squad on the trip without having to pay the bills ourselves the game will probably be scheduled. It would give the men some fine football experience and a good trip."
Both Coach Wheaton and Bond are strongly in favor of playing the game. It would give Kansas a country wide recognition especially if the game should happen to be a tie or a Crimson and Blue victory. The Illinois eleven this past fall coached by Bob Zuppke not only cleaned up the Big Nine Conference but were picked by many as the real championship eleven of the United States, instead of Harvard.
An effort will be made to get a decision on the matter by tomorrow so that an answer can be sent to the Illinois athletic authorities.
