"Tis late before the brave despair—Thompson.
And in spite of the weather the high school visitors got a pretty warm reception.
ANOTHER KNOT.
"If at first you don't succeed" has been the Jayhawk's motto for many long years in regard to the indoor track meet. In the future he will probably adopt "Repeat like a Winchester" for his battle-cry. The first indoor track victory in Kansas City was a glorious one.
Starting the season with discouraging prospects and going into the meet with the dope against them our men out-gamed and out-fought their Their opponents and nosed their out in the final event, the relay.
It was not the breaks in the luck that won the meet nor was it the failure of any of the the Tigers to do their part—it was the Kansas spirit again in the ascendary. Hamilton's protges started with a rush and although it was the heart-breaking struggle from the beginning to end they finished in the lead by the narrow margin of one point.
The jungle beast has had knots added to his caudal appendage in football, basket-ball, and track. We should now see to it that the four-in-hand work is continued through the baseball and outdoor track seasons.
Last year Missouri nosed us out in much the same way and in other years the Tigers have won by taking the relay. The victory should give track work in the University a boost that will insure a winning outdoor team. The season began with green material in the main and the rapid development shows what can be done toward turning out a championship aggregation if a sufficient number of men turn out for outdoor work.
"See The Bacilli Walk With This Microscope," says a headline. What will these microbes be doing next?
BASKET-BALL TOURNAMENT Each year the state high school basket-ball tournament increases in popularity and success and the one just past was no exception. The visit to the University has become a feature of the year's work to both students and teachers in many high schools of the state.
Both derive much benefit from it, the teachers by meeting and exchanging ideas with instructors from other schools and the students from becoming acquainted with the University and associating with other students.
It is especially appropriate that the largest basket-ball tournament in the world should be held here, where the inventor of the game di-
reects the department of physical education. Basket-ball has made tremendous strides in recent years and has come to be recognized as the greatest indoor sport.
The K. U. grads who are now teaching in high schools of the state are to be especially commended for the interest shown in bringing their pupils back to Mount Oread with them. Most of the teams entered in the tournament have some connection with a live, hustling alumni who sees to it that each year finds his school represented. It is*such graduates that make for an institution's success.
We still insist that the feature of the basket-ball tournament was "Phog" Allen's white suit.
According to the news columns Sigma Chi held formal parties in both Fraternal Aid and Ecke's Friday night. Shouldn't the University Council do something about this? And the statement was also made that "several alumnAE are expected back."
THE PERFECT WOMAN
The perfect woman who has been found among the 400 girls student of Cornell university overturn many old-fashioned notions. She is not a farm girl, but city bred, yet she is studying agriculture for a profession. She does not eat candy. She is 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 171 pounds. The young lady of the fashionable novel 50 years ago had a waist that could be spanned with jeans, but she clches, wrought by painful artifice; naturally she fathed at least once in every chapter and had to be restored with smelling salts after cutting her corset strings. Cornell's perfect woman has a 30.3-inch waist and a chest measure 4.3 inches larger, about the proportions of the Venus of Milo. She has never fainted; and never been ill at all. Gone is the girl who used to chew slate pencils to make her face white and was never abroad without her veil and parsol. Forgotten is the maximum that "the finest woman, like the finest flowers, are raised under glass." The American girl of today, if gifted with the leisure, plays tennis and golf and courts sunlight; the chances are about five to one that she cannot possibly squeeze herself into her grandmother's wedding gown, says the New York World. In this great transformation favorable environment and plenty of food have scarcely had more to do than active habits and the growth of sensible ideas of physical well-being.
THE SAD, SAD GRIND OF OUR COLLEGE LIFE
GOOD GRACIOUS
Aunt Mary—Good gracious, Harold! What would your mother say if she saw you smoking those cigarettes?
Harold (calmly)—She'd have a fit
'they're her cigarettes.' —"Judge."
"How did you like the preacher this morning?"
"Reminded me of a corkscrew."
"I can stand it."
"Did your watch stop when it dropped to the floor?" asked one man of his friend.
"Wandered around so long before he got to the point."
"Sure," was the answer. "Did you think it would go through?"—"Ladies' Home Journal."
(They grapple.)—"Record."
Fair Visitor—"My gracious, what a room, and look at that mirror. I'd just like to see myself dressing in
New Bell Hop—"Yes, ma'am, so would I."—"Widow."

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its readers. Contributions welcome—The Editor.
Why, if the Soul can shake the Dust aside.
--naked onaked in the Air of Hueve ride,
Were't not a Shame—were't not a
Shame
FROM THE RUBAIYAT
'Tis but a Tent where takes his one day's rest

And naked on the Air of Heaven ride
In this clay areas crippled to abide?
The Sultan rises, and the dark Fer each
strikes, and prepares it for another
Guest.
Now that the University Council has forbidden student attending "Varsity" dances, are we going to let dancing drop altogether or start an agitation to have class dances held offener and in the gymnasium?
Editor Daily Kansan:
I believe the ruling cannot help but be the right thing, provided the council provides dances that students did without going against the ruling.
Why not have a University hop every two weeks in the gymnasium that will be entirely informal and under the direction of the Student Council and W. S. G. A.？ This would correspond to the Cadet Hat held at the western universities having military developments, which are put on at a small cost (fifty cents) and are counted the most enjoyable of all University social functions.
By having these dances in the gym, the excessive hall rents that have to be paid down town could be saved by having a dance with pupils and each while the graft connected with these parties would be saved the students.
Let's all get together and work for something of this kind, instead of grumbling about the new rule and trying to evade it.

"Young man, how dare you swear before my wife?"
"No. I came here two years ago. I am the only Cuban editor on the hill. I went through the state penitentiary once."
"I don't remember. The last time I was down I got an awful headache. I think it was the engine smoke. I wouldn't mind getting a state job."

"How did I know your wife wanted to swear first?"—"Gardial."
"They say you are a Kansas product. Is it true that Stanford University is named after you, Mr. Thorpe?

TARA'S HARP
By THOMAS MOORE.
HE harp that once through Tara's halls
The soul of music shed
The soul of music shed
Now hangs as mute on Tara's walls
So sleeps the pride of former days,
So always shells in clear.
So glory's tilt is 0 °A.
And hearts that once beat high for
Now feel that pulse no more.
NO more to chiefs and ladies bright
The chord that breaks at night
In tale of coin tell
Thus Freedom now so seldom wakes
The harp of Tara swells.
--when some heart thighght be
To show that still she lives.
Proverbs of St. Patrick.
The only throb she gives
The only trobble she gives is when some heat indignant breaks
Good men ought not to be voluble
tell a lie, for a lie is a great
temptation.
--are so fortunate as to have an introduction through family or friends,to a good opening
Judges who do not judge rightly the
church, the church are not
ones but judges.
Officers of the church ought not to take gifts, because "gifts blind the eyes of the wise and change the words of the 'just.'"
Judges of the church ought not to have the fear of man, but the fear of God, because the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.
Those in authority in the church ought not to have the wisdom of this world, for "the wisdom of this world is nothing less than God," but to have the wisdom of God.
It is better for us to admonish the negligent, that crimes may not abound, but to blame the innocent ones. "it is better to reprove than to be angry."
A Few High School Students
IN BANKING OR FINANCE.
The University of Kansas offers courses in banking and law that have direct value, and others that have vital though indirect bearing, on a career in these lines of business.
The Daily Kansan's Educational Department will see that inquiries addressed to it are answered by the ones most competent to give full particulars regarding any vocation and the University courses preparatory for it. Address the
Modern conditions favor the man who goes into such pursuits with all the preparation that the best university course can give him.
