HOLD FIRST SECRET PRACTICE OF YEAR
Coaches Lock Gates as Precaution Against Possible Cornhusker Scouts
Secret practice was held last night on McCook Field for the first time this season. This was a precaution against Cornhushra scouts who might be lingering in the boot to cool down, fearing that we will wade them next Saturday at Lincoln for the 1914 championship of the Missouri Valley.
The visit of Quarterback Potter of the Nebraska eleven to McCook Field last Friday afternoon was the first time that a Cornhusker scout has been detected on McCook Field during practice. Coach Jachim Skillin described as spectator at Saturday's game with Washburn while Wheaton and Bond were at Lincoln for the Morningside-Nebraska contest.
LAWRENCE BOYS TO STUDY
JESUS AS "HEAD COACH"
"Jesus the Head Coach," is the text to be used by the University Y. M. C. A. boys' work committee in its work with the boys of the Lawrence schools. Interpretation of the religious principles of Jesus and clean living in terms of athletics, is the central idea of the committee. Actual physical exercise has been made possible by the cooperation of the city which has given the manual training to the boys on certain days and the city W. M. C. A. which has also given its gym to the work.
The program will include half an hour of study of the principles of Jesus, the head coach, and then the boys will be directed in group games by the men who are helping in the work. The showers and swimming pool of the two gymnasiums are open to the boys after the meetings.
EVERY LITTLE CITY HAS
INSPECTOR OF ITS OWN
Victor Bottomly is chairman of the committee in charge of the work and any who wish to help in the work should see him.
Every town should have its own inspector of weights and measures," said Prof. E. F. Stimpson, deputy state sealer, in speaking to Club yesterday afternoon. His subject was "Weights and Measures."
Professor Stimpson exhibited battered peek measures, quart cups with adjustable bottoms, and weights with great holes to show tribes of some salesman who were collectors of the city because Wichita was collected at Wichita, because Wichita is progressive enough to have a town inspector of weights and measures. Professor Stimpson believes that every town should have an inspector, because inspectors are less than against dishonesty.

FORTY HIGH SCHOOLS JOIN KANSAS DEBATING LEAGUE
Best Talkers in Congressional Districts Will Clash at Lawrence
in Spring
That the forty high schools which compose the Kansas High School Debating League are hard at work, is evident from the number of requests they have received by their subjects have been received by the University extension division.
"The high schools of Kansas are evincing a lively interest in debate every year," says Prof. F, R. Hammond, head of the extension division, "and I expect to see fifty high schools in the League of Conferences which will be held under the auspices of the University next spring."
High schools of each congressional district hold a tournament and the winners meet at the University to determine the state championship. Last year El Dorado carried away the cup.
New high schools are entering the League constantly and some good debating should be the result when the winners clash here. The following are now in the League: Alma, Anthony, Ashland, Burlington, Beipre, Brookville, Burns, Caney, Carbondale, Cedar Vale, Dickinson, Dodge City, Effingham, El Dorado, Eskridge, Fowler, Garnett, Great Bracket Holton, Hoxie, Horton, Kansas Liberal, Liberal, Lansing, Mende, McLouth, Newton, Neodesha, Solomon, White City, and Yates Center.
FEWER STUDENTS FROM OTHER STATES AT K. U.
Increased prices of necessities since the war began seem to have eaten up the money that used to be spent for railroad fare. The result is that only two thirds as many states are represented at the University of Kansas this year as compared with last year.
The University enrolled students from 21 states last year and from 16 states this year. Kansas of course is first, Missouri second and Oklahoma third. So far three of our countries, Angel Sevillah, Honduras; Eusebio Barba, Philippine Islands, and Peter Yankoff, Bulgaria.

HOLT LOOKS FOR WORLD
PEACE AFTER THIS WAR
Mr. Hamilton Holt, editor of the Independent, spoke before a large audience recently on the subject, "The Peace Movement versus the Present European Struggle." Mr. Holt opted for the presence of the probability of worldwide peace at the end of the present war.
He discussed what must be done to prevent a repetition of this war. Democracy must be extended throughout all the world and monarchies must go. A spirit of good will between nations must be inculcated. There must be a world-wide political organization, a world government. Triple Alliances and Triple Ententes should be forbidden. The power of states to declare war is abolished, and finally all armaments are to be furnished and controlled by the government—Columbia Spectator.
Mr. Holt was at the University last spring at the National Newspaper Convention.
When the new rushing rules adopted by the sororities and fraternities of the University of Michigan go into effect, some 350 freshmen of that school may have to pay the ground-up cost of moving-houses of the Arbor are already filled to capacity and the usual number of freshmen that go to the fraternity houses cannot do so in the future due to provisions in the rules.
