AMES FIVE WILL OPEN BASKETBALL SEASON
Iowa Farmers to Meet K. U in Games Wednesday and Thursday
With the return to school of the some 2500 Jayhawker students today, comes the beginning of basket ball season.
The Jayhawkers will play the Ames Aggies Wednesday and Thursday nights, two important conference games thus opening for the season. Then comes Washburn Ickbands with a contest Friday night.
Not much of a line has been obtained by the coaches here on the strength of the Iowa five. Last year, fighting in the race for the Northern Conference Championship, the Ames school was left far behind by the Flying Cornhuskers. But this season the Aggies look stronger.
Bill Hubbard coaches the Farmers and has developed a powerful five for the 1914 race. Pfund, the giant center, left college last spring, and the loss of this big athlete crippled the Aggies chances. He served for center on last year's All-Conference team, and his worth was well recognized by all opponents of the Ames five. However, Hubbard, by diligent effort, has worked into shape three possible successors of last year's start gap seems to have been filled to the maximum of the followers of the northern five.
Although no definite word has emerged from the Washburn headquarters concerning the makeup of their 1914 five, it is not hard to guess who will compose the team in the race for the Kansas State Championship. McNish will be there, and Elbe perhaps. Dwight Ream may cast aside his 1913 football jump into an abbreviated suit immediately after the game. Jayhawker game is called. Cack Smiley, the old name of the Ichabods for some few years past will be conspicuous by his absence. Cack has at last been persuaded to sever his connections with the Topeka school.
Six K Men m
The haphawked bill trot out on the floor. Weekly night, six on men strong. Led by Leby Sproull, Van der Vries, Weaver, Greenlees, Dunnie, and Smith will follow in close succession. The team will be one or two men from the college team, probably Bill Weidlein and Slats Cole.
ONE OF THE DEADLIER
SEX A FOOTBALL COACH
There are women baseball managers and women in almost every form of human endeavor, but here is a brand new field for the feminine sex—coach of a football team. Cincinnati has produced the best player in the world. She is Mrs. Charles Burckhardt of Price Hill, a suburb of Cincinnati.
Mrs. Bruckart is an athlete in every sense of the word and in her school days performed on several Vassar teams. Just now she is chief assistant to Coach Miller of the Price Hill eleven. She understands football thoroughly and several times had watched the team in practice. Finally she asked to be allowed to join the coaching squad and assist in teaching several plays used by Eastern teams.
The Inter-Collegiate Rifle Matches begin this week. The first shoot will be held Tuesday evening, at 7:30. Everybody who can shoot come out. Free ammunition will be furnished those on the team.

SOPHOMORES WIN INTERCLASS SERIES
Last Football Game Went to Second-
Year Men After Five
Quarters
In the final game of the annual inter-class football series, contested on the Golf Links the Wednesday of the last week of school, the sophomores defeated the juniors 6 to 0, winning the University championship.
To say that the game was hard fought is to put it mildly. At the end of the fourth quarter, the score was 0 to 1. It was getting dark, cloudy, and cold. Had there been time to play the game off, Leon McCarty, referee, would undoubtedly have postponed it, and admitted the dark contest. But a three-fourths of the students were leaving the next day, McCarty decided to be game and "see the whole show through."
The fifth quarter, yep, Steve, the fifth quarter, opened with both teams still beating it up and down the field. At length however the junior defense cracked, and the sophs raced the ball down in two at the ball. Three times the underclassmen hit the line, and advanced the ball to the two-yard line. The fourth time, Smee, the 1916 half, grabbed the pigskin, tucked it under his arm, and repeated the order of events. Smee was stopped while still in the air, and with the ball two feet off the ground it was up to McCarty to decide "Was It a Touchedown?" or "Wasn't It a Touchedown"?
McCarty plumb-lined the ball, declared it a touchdown, and travelled up the hill. The Sophs are the champions. We told you so!

TO TEACH ON SCREEN
Board of Educational Administration Plans Lantern-Slide Courses Throughout State
The Board of Educational Administration today outlined a plan of state-wide instruction by means of lunar slides and lectures. Negotiations have been opened with the National Institution for Moral Instruction to continue the courses in morals for children throughout Kansas last year by the expansion of the University.
"We are much impressed with the possibilities of using the visual method of instruction," said Ed. T. Hackney, president of the Board, "especially where it has to do with the moral and social aspects of Kansas, and we hope, by the use of slides, to be able to send out from each of our institutions one or more men who will present to the people of Kansas the different morality effects and the different social effects as illustrated by that best study of mankind, man. We would like to learn to work with the Board of Correction and the Board of Control, the latter having charge of the insane, epileptics, imbeciles, etc., that we might be able to work out a very strong set of morality slides and also illustrate very largely the things that we are trying to build up on the screen of Kansas. We might make enough of these slides so that they could be sent out in our extension work from the several institutions, together with properly prepared lectures therein. In that way we might build up a very strong educational force. We would like to work outside the school, but for those outside of the school, and increase the effectiveness of the steropictan in the public schools.
"We have the conception of making every man and woman a student in the schools of Kansas and break
ing down the limit which makes the period of usual resident attendance. Our correspondence and our extension work is reaching tremendous proportions and we feel that something of value in the pictures and visual instruction would be one of the most powerful factors that could be used."
