HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES BEST AT UNIVERSITY
They Stand Good Chance to Succeed in College Athletics Hamilton
HAVE LEARNED RUDIMENTS
Manager of Athletics Names High School Men Who Have Made Good in Big Colleges
"Many athletes who come to the University from high schools and particularly the smaller schools, think that although they "made good" in athletics at home they can't do so here because K. U. is such a big school and there are so many more men to pick out," remarked Coach Hamilton today, in speaking of high school athletes.
"If high school men knew how badly men are wanted to try out for places on the different teams all the time, a larger percentage of the players would have a chance in athletics would come to the University."
"There hasn't been a football smoker or gathering of any kind in the last three years where I haven't made a plea to the men of the University to get more high school athletes to come to K. U."
"Many students have tried to help me get more high school athletes here and their combined efforts have brought results; but I'm not going

to be satisfied with that. The only way we can get the best athlete here is to have every man who ever did anything in athletics at all, no matter how little, to come to the University and be given a chance."
"Like anything else the man who has had previous experience especially over in high school has an advantage over the beginner up here because he doesn't have to learn what the short cuts to success are."
"Kansas is not the only University in the country that seeks after high
school athletes. During his time "Tommy" Johnson was the most sought after man in the Missouri Valley. The reason for this is that

There was not a single inter-scholastic track meet in Kansas City in 1908-'09 '10 that the Woodbury brothers, "Tod" and "Buzz", did not clean up from eight to fifteen points a piece for their school. And it was only through Hamilton's personal acquaintance with the Woodbards that they came to K. U. instead of going to Missouri.
These men are not the only ones. There is Dan Hazen, one of the best high hurdlers in the Missouri Valley,
HERE ARE FIVE YEARS OF STATE CHAMPIONS
Halstead and Chanute Have Each Won Flag Two Times
Former Champions
Boys Girls
1908—Halstead None
1909—Halstead Beloit
1910—Clay Co. Chanute
1912—Lawrence Chanute
1913—Baldwin Reno Co.
The Kansas Inter-Scholastic basket-ball tournament was introduced to the high schools in 1908. At that time the tourney was held in connection with the high school track meet held the latter part of May. There were six teams entered and Halstead won the championship. No girls' teams were entered this year.
The following year it was decided that the dates of the track meet and the basket-ball tournament should be kept separate and the latter was changed to the middle of March.
The banner year in point of attendance was 1910. That year there were thirty-two boys' and eight girls' teams entered. Chanute girls won the girls' championship, while the Clay county men were the victors among the men.
In 1909 there were seventeen teams entered. An invitation was extended to a number of the leading girls' teams and four of these accolades; two for boys' title and Beloit won the cup offered to the winning girls' team.
In 1911 fewer teams than the year before, thirty-one entered. Of these, twenty were boys' teams and eleven were girls'. Lawrence won the boys' championship and Chanute the girls.
In 1912 Baldwin won the boys' championship and Reno Co., the girls'.

REPORT ON CRUMBINE
APPROVES PRESENT SYSTEM
Special to the Daily Kansan.
Topeka, Mar. 13.—The legislative committee appointed to investigate the charges made against Dean S. J. Crumbine has made its report completely exonerating him and recommending the adoption of legislation making the dean of the K. U. School of Medicine ex officio secretary of the State Board of Health.
Dean Crumbine's answer to the charges that he and his assistant had made unauthorized trips throughout the United States showed that these had been approved by the legislature. Stories published in leading state papers were introduced to show that it was generally known throughout the state that Dr. Crumbine was filling the positions of K. U. dean and secretary at the same time, although drawing salary from a notice in Fraser.
