WHY IS BASKETBALL?
K. U. COACH EXPLAINS
Hamilton Tells Fine Points of Game and Describes Play
"Basket-ball is one of the simplest games but I'll venture to say that fifty per cent of the people attending a basket-ball game cannot tell when a team is on the offensive and when it is on the defensive," said Coach Hamilton this afternoon.
"A peculiar thing about basket-ball is that no two players are alike and also no two teams. A team must know enough about basket-ball to meet this difficulty. The basket-ball team here is taught to play by a set of signals, each player having a number and each play having its number; by this means faster team work is developed. By these signals the team knows who is to handle the ball and how it is to be handled."
Good Center Essential
"In the use of signals by a basketball team it is essential that the team have a good center. A team is fifty percent stronger with a good man in that position, because if he is able to get the tip-off, a member of his team will get the ball with a give-away and a shot at the basket. Being able to make the basket comes only through practice. A goal from the field counts two points, while a free throw which comes because of a foul by the other side counts but one."
"The player that calls the signals must be able to survey the field and know what will be best to call."
"The K. U. team is coached to open up when one of the players of his team gets the ball, that is, each man is to get away from his opponent and close up as soon as the opponents get the ball and be able to intercept their pass."
THE FLOWER SHOP
From a Spectator's Seat
"From the spectator's view-point the dribbling game is the best because it is more exciting. Looking at the game from the scoring standpoint the passing game is the best. A good dribber must be able to dribble and see the rest of the field at the same time. Such players are few and far between."

From now on the gym students will not fudge on Instructor Root.
Heretofore when Mr. Root would send a deficient gym, student up to work off a gym cut by running eighteen times around the track, said stude might go up, lie down and descend and tell Mr. Root between gasps that he completed eighteen circuits of the rubber track in three minutes.
Long live the Ergometer!
He will now be sent to the Ergometer to pull three thousand foot pounds. The meter thereon registers accurately how much work was done and if it does not say three thousand the wily student does not get his gym cut removed.
This Ergometer was installed last month by the gymnasium authorities and is a wonderful instrument. It will do more work in a week than Peruna taken three times a day can do in three years. It will straighten a motorcycle jockey up quicker than a Sears & Roebuck shoulder brace or a Dyson air filter cave failer loose teeth, and make a pug nose look like a William Jennings Bryan nasal organ inside of thirty days.

But said stude will not do this
any more.
TURN A HANDSPRING AND MAKE THIS FRAT
Dr. Naismith Doesn't Think Kansas Wants Sigma Delta Psi Chapter
Dr. James Naismith, Director of Physical Education, doesn't know whether Kansas wants a chapter of the new athletic fraternity or not.
Dr. Naismith represented Kansas by letter at the national organization of this new society, which was held in Indianapolis during the holidays. Dr. C. P. Hutchins, director of physical training at Indiana University and originator of the new society, was chosen National Keeper of the Rolls. This is the only national office in the fraternity.
"The only reason why I have not yet started a chapter of the Sigma Delta Psi at Kansas," said Dr. Naismith today, "is that under the heavy athletic requirements necessary for membership at present." I not believe that more than three men at K. U. could be admitted.
How They Pledge
Among the present requirements a man must be able to do the following things before he is entitled to membership in Sigma Delta Psi, the new fraternity:
How They Pledge
He must make the 100 yard dash in eleven and three-fifths seconds; the 120 yard hurdles in twenty seconds, leaving all the hurdles standing; put the 16 lb. shot thirty feet; make the three mile run in seventeen minutes; the ten mile walk in two hours and thirty seconds; a polevault of eight feet and nine inches, and a running broad jump of twenty feet. He must also be able to accomplish the front handspring, the back handspring, and dive. A punting and baseball throwing test is also required, besides a general scholarship efficiency and a good carriage.
"Under these rules," declares Dr. Naismith, "I doubt if a single football, baseball or basket-ball man at Kansas would be eligible to membership. To install a chapter here now would not be fair to the men we already honor for their athletic ability. A man might work up to all the requirements, but at that the membership would be limited to a comparative few."
Favors Track Men.
Favors Track Men.
Dr. Naismith believes that a man who has received his letter in any kind of athletics should be given a certain amount of credit in the new society. Thus, a man who has received letters in any two or three lines of sport, such as football, baseball, and track, would practically be entitled to membership. The present rules seem to favor track men more than any others.

LEARNS SCIENTIFIC PUNCH

"The men are just learning the rudiments of the sport and a few are beginning to learn to punch," said Coach Frank today. "To hit scientifically is what I am desiring of teaching more than anything else. Anyone can hit, but not scientifically. I mean by that term, the art of hitting and getting away with it. If I can only teach 25 per cent of the men to punch effectively, I shall feel that I have accomplished something.
"We are expecting to have a tournament toward the end of the year and only the best men of the class will be allowed to enter. This might bring out some good material for next year, as I think that some of the Missouri Valley schools will take up this sport."
The number of men that are turning out is greater than the candidates out for the football team.

CORNELL COEDS DON'T CARE FOR MERE MEN
"The Visit to the Inferno is an ideal form of hazing," says Miss Barstow, "which even the victims enjoy." The empty swimming tank, lined with red paper and made fearsome by lurid lights, wailing ghosts, and red and black demons, serves as the Inferno. One by one the shivering freshmen are prodded by the demons along the dread path to the throne of His Satanic Majesty who forces them to sign with their heart's blood (red ink) a portentous document promising extravagant submission to the sophomores.
Less Comradeship Between Them Than at K. U., Says Miss Barstow
The Annual Sophomore dance is carried out in good style with the best decorations, music and refreshments obtainable. The freshmen wear their prettiest frocks and freshest gloves, while their sophomore girl escorts dress as manlyhss as is possible without borrowing, and do the gallant thing in the matter of flowers, carriage, and flirtation. The affair is so popular that a freshman would refuse ten invitations from mere men, rather than this one from a sophomore girl.
That there is far more comradehip between men and women students at K. U. than at Cornell, the opinion of Miss Marjorion Barstow, a Cornell graduate now on the English faculty here. Women students in the eastern school, however, have a more independent social life, centering around their dormitory. Cornell apes Harvard and Yale; the fraternity men object in a general way to the co-ed's presence, but never show her any discordesc. The women try to make their student life as nearly as possible like that in Vassar or Wellesley. They serenely let the men ignore them, and have all sorts of fun with their own social affairs. While some of the men pay the girls certain attentions, the Cornell annual does not consider it exactly good form to publish jokes on the subject. All the social usages are more strictly observed there than in the west. For instance, even if a girl has sat out a term of trigonometry beside a man, they do not speak without a formal introduction.
"There are four typical events on the Cornell girl's social calendar," said Miss Barstow. "One of these is the Freshman Banquet, which is prepared in great secrecy, while the Sophs exhaust their ingenuity to find out about it. Sometimes the freshmen hoax them into attending imaginary meetings at extraordinary times and places; but occasionally there is a real joint meeting that ends in a good class scrap. Now and then the spies learn the date, carry off refreshments or co-ordination orders, and lock up all the freshes they can catch. This danger is a great appetizer."
