VACATION NO REST FOR K.U. BASKETBALL MEN
Team to Practice Ceaselessly During Holidays Preparing for Big Games
For while the hungry studies will be home with their relatives eating the fatted calf, and spending their afternoons and evenings in leisure idleness, the basketball team will be practicing daily.
"No let up in practice," is the cry of Manager Hamilton, and Lefty Sproull, basketball coach and captain, and in truth it seems that he would be no better to let up in practice" for the Varsity five, even during the holidays. . .
Of the Varsity men, Sproull,
Weaver, Dunnire, and Greenlees are
Lawrence boys, and will work out
daily in the Gym, practising against
Fols, Cole, Weidlein, and other of
the stay-at-home College men.
Smith and Van der Vries, the two
athletes who will leave town for
the feast, will keep in condition
during the holidays by playing
with various All-Alumni teams, scattered around in various parts of Kansas.
The team practiced last night, and considering that the floor was still in bad condition from the Engineers' dance on Saturday, the team got a good workout. The first freshies, Kayser, Bachman, Appel & Co, put up an even stronger fight than usual, and the Varsity girls hands full caring for the rebellious underclassmen. The 1914 regulars, however, rounding into good condition, and that is all the coaches want. Weildlein worked at guard with the regulars, and put up his usual heady game.

PROGRAM IN CHAPEL
Miss Jess Palmer, of Kansas City, gave a varied program in chapel yesterday morning. Miss Palmer has a beautiful mezzo-sprano voice which won favor with her auditors. She sang "Violetes," by Woodman; "Sweet Miss Mary," by Neidlinger; and "Philosophy," by Emmell, as the first part of her program. After an organ solo by Dean Skilton, the remaining numbers were given. They were "What is Love?" by Ganz; "His Lullaby," by Jacobs_Bond; and "My Desire," by Novin.
PROGRAM IN CHAPE
Three new courses were approved by the College faculty yesterday afternoon. They will be offered to sophomores next semester. A three hour course in Commerce and Commercial Geography will be offered in the department of economics. The Geology department will give a two hour course in Heredity and its Relation to Eugenics and a three hour course in Elementary Embryology.

Juniors and Sopohmores to Battle for Inter-class Championship
This afternoon at four o'clock, the big class football game of the year will be played, the battle between the junior team and the senior team for the o'clock championship.
Dope favors neither team, although from the outside the juniors would seem to have a shade the edge on their younger adversaries. But even that trifle advantage, as seen through the eyes of the keenest toul, is but optional. Two more closely matched teams have never met and battled for a class championship on McCook Field, and today's contest should prove of great interest to every Jayhawker student.
**Teams Evenly Matched**
The sophomores have won their one and only game they played in a run with the team, which 1916 took the upper hand, 3 to 0. That team earns start to finish. A single fumble, a 15 yard penalty, the slightest miscue by either team would have cinched the battle for the enemy.
The field was too muddy for open play, line plunging but little on account of the slipperness of the turf, and so the game finished rowed down to a battle of kickers. And in the bout of Gaskill vs. Grafton the younger star came out ahead, boosting field goal from the hooked line, when the condition of the ball seemed to render such a play impossible, he gave a three point lead to his team.
Held Juniors Scoreless
Held Juniors Scorele
The first junior-freshman game was harder fought. For 40 minutes the two teams warped up in muddy gridiron. First one goal would be in danger, then another. At one stage of the game the juniors looked like sure winner, a little later the spectator would have given odds of 3 to 2 on the tyros. And the game ended in a tie. Neither eleven was able to score.
They played the battle off Monday, and the contest that day was just as different from Saturday's game as could be imagined. One eleven outclassed the other, and from the opening whistle, to the sound of the head linesman's horn which closed the game, 1915 was practically always in 1917's territory. Juniors joined the tyro defense and scored the first touchdown after four minutes of play in the first quarter. A few moments later Householder, their clever full, sent the piksink spinning between the tyro crossbars for another tally, while late in the second half 1915 pounded through a second touch-down raising the total score up to 15 to 0. The yearlings played good ball, dandy ball, and have much coming Varsity material on their team, but they had an off day Monday.
