Aggies Show Jayhawkers Tha Teamwork is Essential To Results
OUTLUCKED AND THEN COACH LOWMAN IS OUTPLAYED KANSAS MAN OF ALL TRADES
The Aggies made a clean sweep. In the first game they outcuckled the Jayhawkers but in last night's contest they outplayed Kansas. The locals started out with a rush as if to make the game a one-sided affair for the visitors soon caught their stricth and steadily played to a victory.
The games show that Coach Hamilton's pupils need more team work. This essential feature was sadly missing last night and time after time the visiting players were wholly uncovered. Coach Lowman has a light team and they play together. They will make a lot of trouble for some of the conference teams this season.
Tonight they play Warrensburg and Coach Lowman expects to send in his substitutes as the two contests with the Tigers follow in the next two nights. After the game Coach Lowman contended that the Farmer boys had a good chance for the conference championship.
TO PLAY THREE DEEP
Root Invents a New Game For Benefit of
Freshmen
Have you ever played Three Deep? If not, you have missed something of vital importance in your Collegiate Physical training.
Three Deep is the name of a new game of which Professor Root is the inventor. It was devised for the benchtop games, and now it is handed to them in daily doses.
To the unskilled observer the game is a combination of Drop the Handkerchief and Prisoners Base, but it isn't, says Professor Root. It is a totally new game, according to his explanation, and combines all the requirements of endurance, speed, agility and last but not least, enthusiasm, the thing necessary to produce successful gymnasts.
One desiring to learn the intricacies of this new sport should journey to the gym on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and observe the freshmen in session.

Coaches All Aggie Athletic Teams Besides Doing Departmental Work
Coach Lowman is a very busy man. Besides coaching all of the athletic teams at Manhattan he finds time to attend to his departmental business.
During the football season he told the basket-ball men to do light work. They were held under the watchful eye of the captain and practices were held until the coach was through with the football eleven.
Now during the basket-ball season, from twenty to thirty men come out every afternoon for the track team. No official call has been issued but the men just come out of their own accord. The coach has not the time to give to the track men but they work on just the same. As a result, the coach's command the outlook is not very rosy. Very few of the old men are back and the squad will have to be picked from green material.
Baseball Practice Soon.
On February 1st the baseball team will begin to practice and then Coach Lowman will have three teams to look after. The baseball outlook is very promising at Manhattan and the Farmers expect to make a cleanup in conference circles this season.
Most of the old men are back. Bill Billy will be succeeded by a man who is just as good. Pololl, the star slabster of last year's nine, is back and will no doubt do the bulk of the pitching. Bally, a youngster, is expected to round out this season and pitch some good games. He is a southpaw and did good work for a first year man last spring.
The football outlook at Manhattan looks pretty good as only three of this year's men will be missing when football returns next fall. Coach Lowman expects to get a helper and is anxiously looking around. It was announced that Tipton, a former Missouriian, had been engaged to coach the track team, but he refused to come at the last minute.
WANTS CIRCUS MEN
Professor Root Needs More Gymnasts For Mid-Winter Blow-out
But such is not the case with the apparatus men. Up to the present time this part of the performance is badly handicapped. All kinds of apparatus men are needed and Coach Root wants every man who can do anything more complex than skin-the-cat to put in his appearance at once.
Fifty men are working out three times a week for places on the tumbling team and this portion of the Mid-Winter circus promises to be all that is necessary for a successful performance. To quote Professor Root, "the hard part will be the picking the team."
Committee Returns Emptybanded The reorganization committee of the University Council reported at the meeting of the council yesterday afternoon. No action was taken.
Princeton is to have a new stadium which will seat 50,000 people. It will cost $300,000, $100,000 of which has already been subscribed by alumni of Princeton.
Profs are to have individual pictures in the annual. We may expect student objections, seeing that the plan has been announced so close to quiz week.
We contend that the rag story has been dusting around long enough. It is high time to switch off on something else. Say combs or hair pins.
ENGLISH TRACK BALLY DIFFERENT, BAH JOVE
Now that the P. C. is a clock of regular habits there isn't a standard campus joke left.
A Miller Under 4:30 is Decrepit, Across the Pond,
Says "Put"
English track meets are very different from American college meets, according to G. E. Putnam, assistant professor of economics in the University.
Professor Putnam is a Rhodes scholar, who also won high athletic honors on both sides of the Atlantic. At Oxford he won his "blue" in the weight events, and represented England in the meet between Oxford and Cambridge, and again Harvard on the other, winning his event over his own countrymen.
In English track meets there are but ten events, instead of the multiplicity of the American meet. The field events are the hammer throw, shot put, high hurdles, broad jump, and high jump. In track they run the hundred yards, the quarter, the half, the mile, and the three mile.
The pole vault was formerly tried, but a man was killed by falling upon the point of the pole, and the event was abolished as a dangerous American innovation. The discus throw was also used, but was also abolished because a spectator was killed by the discus striking him.
Indoor meets are unknown: the men do all their work in the open. The English are great on outdoor exercise, and every afternoon all the students get out on the grounds and indulge in their favorite forms of exercise. Athletics is not confined to the very few students, who make desperately hard work of it, as in this country, but all take part.
In preparation for the annual meet between Oxford and Cambridge, the various schools hold meets of their own students to determine the teams. The winner of first place in each event is awarded his "blue" or colors, the Oxford color being a dark blue and the Cambridge color a light blue. None but the winners of such positions as the representatives of their university, are allowed to wear the colors; and offenders are thrown into the river by the students. Scarfs, ties, "blazers," and jackets of the colors are given to the men, and their uniforms show their honors. Winners of second place are given "half blue."
In the meets only first place counts, the American plan of grading second and third not finding favor. And while they have few events, they do some fast work in those. The man who can not make the mile, for instance, in less than 4:30 has little chance of representing his school in a contest.
The Best Patriot.
Dr. Garrett L. Baker, of New York,
proposes to give eyeglasses to all poor
school children of defective vision until
education is completed. Public
shelf will take up this charity.
Dr. Baker has the knack of presenting his ideas in a touching and vivid way.
"There is one type of patriot that waves a flag. But a far higher type is to my mind, the man who blushes every time he sees a neglected child."

How About "If" Mr. This Merchant?
If you could hire 20 or 50 or 100 young men and women to speak to every University student and teacher about
The advantage of trading at your store,
The utility or beauty of some new article in your stock,
The special values offered today or this week.
YOU KNOW that your business would respond instantly to such advertising. But that's a large "IF" with a prohibitive expense hitched to it. It could not be done outside of a dream.
You can do the same thing, however, in a different way. You can employ a solicitor who sits down with every student five evenings in the week and has a chummy talk about student affairs—and interpolates any message you care to have delivered.
You can speak your message—your announcement,
your argument, your store news—at trifling cost.
You can depend on a hearing at the best time. You
can change the story every day. You can get resu-
ts that will show up in the cash register every
night.
We shall be glad to talk over with you ways in which you can profit by the services of this solicitor—the only one in its field—during the present month.
