UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
COACH EXPECTS HARD GAME WITH FARMERS
Hamilton Believes Wednesday Contest With Ames Means Danger
Prospects for two of the biggest basketball games of the season Wednesday and Thursday night with the Ames Aggies are increasing daily, according to Manager W. O. Hamilton, coach of the 1914 Jayhawkers.
"The Aggies are not the easy stuff this year, that they were in years past," said Hamilton, "and our men accordingly are prepared to give the Iowa Farmers one of the best fights that they will have this season. Bill Hubbard and his men may win those two games all right, but they'll have to go like lightning to do it.
"Intercollegiate basketball, particularly conference basketball, will be rougher this year than it has ever been before. Of course our men do not favor that kind of ball, and had the coaches of this University had their say, there would have been no changes in the rules.
Game Will Be Rough
"But the powers that be entered clauses in the conference regulations which makes the players rough it up a little more; but as Lefty Sproull says, we should worry.
"I have no idea of the probabli line-up for the Jayhawkers Wednesday night. I never decide who will represent Kansas on the floor until the last minute before the game, and as this is the earliest though, most important in the season, we may shift players constantly in case we either get ahead or fall behind the Farmers."
Football Stars to Play
There may be a curtain raiser to the Agrie game, or rather a chaser. Manager Hamilton has chosen two teams from the list of Varsity football players and will give them a chance to mix it thoroughly on the big floor. The line-up that pairs is too unrestrian. Butch Stuewe, Lloyd Bishop, Bill Weidlein, and Shorty Strothers will be among those present. Tripping, tackling, and running with the ball however will be prohibited. Since the pigskin artists broke training recently, they're in no condition to run with the ball.
The Washburn game, originally set for Friday night, has been postponed to two weeks from Friday. Crip Gray, the ichabod coach, with the help of Dwayne Ream, captain, is preparing five to represent the Topkappa school.
A Washburn student of the vintage of 1913, now taking graduate work at K. U., dropped around in great haste yesterday afternoon, after reading the Daily Kansan's probable lineup of the Ichabos.
An Apology to Washburn
Said Gray was indignant over the way the Kansan misrepresented athletic conditions in a rule-inful in-depth MuNniee was a fourth year man, and therefore inelegible for state basketball. Ream was captain of the team, instead of a mere tryout, as the Kansan insinuated, and Elbe had never seen the oval sphere in his life. As for Cack Smiley, poor old Cack has lessly malign, indiscriminately his body, but this hefty athlete had not served 25 years in the Topeka "pen," as the Kansan so boldly stated. Sincere apologies to Cack, and his enthusiastic supporter.
Freshmen-Soph Pull at Williams
At Williams College they have a unique method of deciding the supremacy between the freshman and sophomores. A long rope is stretched across Green river, which is near the campus. The freshmen take one side and the sophomores the other. The class that pulls the other into the river wins. This year the freshmen were ducked.

Owing to the critical attitude toward fraternities in the state schools it has been the practice for some time to observe closely the scholarship of the fraternity members. Now this supervision is to be continued, not only that fraternity men will be subjected to the same scrutiny and comparisons.
Athletic teams will be ranked according to scholarship of the teams as a whole, and in this way some insight into the effect of athletics upon scholarship will be gained.
by the Board is as important "The Board of Administration today made an order, after consulting with the heads of the various institutions that comparative study made of the ranks attained by be of the clubs, fraternities, athletic teams and every other organization and society in the different institutions under its control; and that a report of same be made public at the close of each school term, that the authorities and public may understand the effect of membership in the different organizations upon the scholarship of the individuals in the organizations."

It is supported by Thomas Hardy, the novelist, and Sir Walter Raleigh, professor of English literature at Oxford University, and other prominent men.
The exact objects of the society have not yet been announced, but it is understood that there will be lectures and publications in favor of the purity of language and spoken English against the incorporation of foreign words.
An effort will be made to make polite speech consist of tense, vigorous English words instead of elaborate derived synonyms and accurate pronunciation, as "Naycher" for "Nature," which the poet laureate cited as a typical example of the manner in which the speech of educated English persons is being deplorably changed.
The department of physical education at Princeton has decided to give a course in boxing to all students free of charge.
