Kansas lost the championship of the Missouri Valley to Nebraska in Robinson gymnasium last night in one of the most exciting and best played games ever seen on the local court by the score of 18 to 16.
Kansas had the lead for a moment after the game started on a free throw by Sproll. Then Haskell, the Nebraska forward, threw a goal past Kansas as the Kansas jumped into the lead never to lose it during the entire contest.
In quick succession Stryker, Hawkins, and Haskell each scored. The team scored first and the first half ended with the score 9 to 7 in favor of Nebraska.
The second half opened with the Jayhawks extending themselves to the utmost. Sporrell quickly made a free throw and a goal. Then Haskell also broke into the scoring line by making seven free throws.
Kansas remained one to three points behind all the time.
Near the end of the half Stryker
shot a final beautiful goal and won
the game.
The feature of the second half was splendid guarding by the Jayhawkers, who allowed the speedy Cornhuskers only one goal. Near the end of the struggle the visitors delayed the contest and played for time.
Many easy shots were missed by both teams which also accounts for the low score. There were two substitutions during the entire contest. Coach Stiehm sending in Hydte to replace Hang Hsing, holding Greenlees with Smith. Neither team showed the form which was displayed in the first game.

'RAY FOR THE GIRLS!
NO CABS, NO FLOWERS
Unmistakable Proof That Junior Prom is Near Detected by Kansan Cub
CHORTLE WITH JOY, CLAR-
ENCE!
Cabs and flowers for the Junior Prom received a die blow from the fair representatives of the class of '14 Tuesday noon when at a meeting of the Junior girls the question "to have or not to have" was put before the assembly and every girl there velled "thumbs down."
The school hygiene class under Professor Trettien will visit the grade schools of Lawrence this afternoon, making observations on the quality of air, temperature, ventilation, amount of light and physical environment. You will be exposed fifteen minutes in each room for culture-media.
The question of "dues" and "bids" was also considered and after several pleas for the oppressed brethren the policy of **secret bids** was adopted, which means that the girls on the prom committee will collect all dues from junior girls and have charge of the date list. The list is not to be open for inspection by the men; the date seeker will have to make all arrangements through the committee in charge of the list.
UNANIMOUSLY. PERCIVAL!
The Prom comes April 4, ARCHI BALD!
Hygiene Class to Visit
"Salar Warrants Received" says the University bulletin board today.

Registrar Recommended An other Man for Fat Position at Pa. State
Registrar G. O. Foster has recommended another man for the job and will not accept the offer of a position as registrar in Pennsylvania State College, according to a statement made by him this morning.
The offer, while a tempting one,
was not strong enough to draw him
away from his long association with
the University of Kansas.
"Kansas still looks pretty good to me," said the Registrar this morning as he took his pencil from over his ear and started checking up those interminable lists of grades. Once in a while he made a red mark.

The thirteenth annual engineers' banquet in the gym last night was a success, pyro-technically and otherwise.
Each school had its own table with some feature representing that school in evidence some place in the room. At the Electrical's table a large lighted sign read "Danger, 110,000 Shaads," and a spark gap, referred to by the speakers of the evening as "the infernal machine," added to the noise of a drum beaten by magnets.
At the Mechanicals' table a miniature fuel conveyor was used to carry notes from one man to the other and was produced by a large auto horn.
The Miners' table and part of the room was decorated by picks and shovels. Bombs filled with confetti and each table on a wire and exploded.
