VARSITY MEN GIVEN JAYHAWKERS MEET A SEVERE WORK-OUT K.C.A.C. TRACK TEAM
Hamilton Putting Basket-Bal Team Through Stiff Practice Every Evening
Coach Hamilton's Jayhawker basket-ball team is being pushed to the limit and every night the Varsity quintette is given a session with Coach Frank's youngsters and another with the College aggregation.
Seven men are showing up in the race for positions and it is likely that nearly all of them will be used in the games. These men are Captain Greenlees, Boeh, Weaver, Dunnire, Brown, Hite, Sproull, and Smith. Every man is a sure passer and the floor work will be a strong factor in winning games. At basket tossing the team is almost as strong. La addition to the forwards Brown, Hite and Sproull and the centers, Weaver and Boeh, Coach Hamilton has a trio of guards who are sure goal shots as well as fine defensive players. Captain Greenlees, Smith and Dunnire are hitting the goals at a lively clip.
Both Bohm and Weaver, a last year's freshman, are showing up better in every practice and this position, which was weak last year promises to be one of the strong points of the team. The other positions will be better because Coach Hamilton will have three good men for each place.
Seven Men Will be Used
It is the intention of the Kansas coach to work his men as hard as possible in an effort to put the finishing touches on what promises to be one of the best goal tossing machines which has ever been turned out by the University. The first game is with Washburn at Lawrence January 18. This contest should hardly be more than a try-out for the Kansas basket sharks.
Kansas City Athletes Wil Compete With Kansas in Robinson] Gym
Coach Hamilton has closed negotiations with the K. C. A. C. management for a track meet to be held in Robinson gymnasium on either February 10th or 16th.
EVERY KANSAN GETS AID FROM UNIVERSITY
The meet promises to be good, as the athletic club always turns out a worthy team. Some of the former K. U. stars, Tod and Buzz Woodbury, Cupid, Hadock, Davis and Watson will be seen in action against their aa mater. The track athletes who expect to represent Kansas this year have been training for the past two months and are in fairly good shape

Last year K. C. A. C. won the western amateur association championships and the same team that won that meet, are back trying for places under the coaching of "D.L." Riley, Talbot, one of the members of the Olympic team in 1908, work in the weight events. He is considered one of the biggest point winners on the team. Captain Craig, one of the best half-milers in the west, and O'Donnell and Osborne complete a fast and well balanced team.
McColloch's Drug Store
Through its work on Kansas insect problems, begin in 1872, the University has returned in economic value to the state an amount often estimated as high as the entire cost of the institution and its foundation.
All State Helped by Varied Lines of Service Work

from K. U.
Every Kansas citizen receives direct aid every day in the year from the University of Kansas. Through its food and drug inspection bureau, water analysis laboratory, municipal reference bureau, weights and measures station, correspondence and extension work, lecture service, health investigation, orchard inspection, and office of the Department of educational institution has undertaken work that touches the life of each citizen at many points.
Samples of every article of food brought into the state pass through the busy laboratories of the University; the drinking water of all the cities and towns is analyzed and protection from water-borne diseases afforded; each scale in the state is monitored by staff; faulty weights guarded against for the benefit of farmer producer and consumer.
Can't Estimate in Dollars.
In financial terms, it is practically impossible to determine the value of the service that the University directly returns to the state. When a professor of sanitary engineering stops a typhoid epidemic in a town by pointing out a way to purify the water, or when a drug analyst points out that a poison is being sold under the guise of a patent medicine, figures prove poor mediums to guard the value of the University's work. In one field alone, that of sanitary engineering, 161 visits were made to various towns in the state during 1912 for the inspection of proposed municipal plants, the approval of completed ones, the investigation of sewer systems, the prevention of typhoid and kindred purposes. The valuation of the plants inspected totaled $18,000,000 but the expert advice given free to the cities involved cannot be estimated.
At one point alone, can definite terms be reached. A report in the Chancellor's office shows that last year $55,000, appropriated for employee benefits, was used as salaries for men devising their time to this state work.
Wide Range of Service.
Wide Range of Service.
Every branch of instruction at K. U. renders some of this service to a greater or less degree. The School of Education, through its high school visitor, has been able to raise the standards of the high schools in the state and is at present undertaking an important work in investigating defective and backward children. Prof. L. L. Dyche of the department of zoology is giving his entire time as State Game and Fish Warden. The School of Medicine which conducts the state hospital at Rosedale cares free for the poor of Kansas, and last year, gave medical advice and treatment to 5400 patients.
The department of bacteriology takes up public health matters in diagnosing infectious diseases and analyzing water, and food. The department of entomology carries on work along the following lines: the inspection of nurseries, orchard management and culture, the study of the sand fly and pellagra, the study of the insect problems of Kansas, among them chinch bugs, grass-flea, Japanese wheat and alfalfa pests and green bugs. More than 662,000 trees were inspected during the last two years with a view to the extermination of the San Jose scale.
Helped on Horse Disease. In connection with the horse disease, a committee including scientists from the School of Medicine, and the departments of entomology and bacteriology, was appointed at the request of the Governor, to assist in the study of the causes of the disease and to devise some method of treatment.
Helped on Horse Disease.
The School of Engineering has conducted investigations for the State Bank Commissioners under the Blue Sky law of new schemes undertaken by companies of various kinds. The School has made a physical valuation of Kansas railroads for the Public Utilities Commission, has made an inquiry into the supply of gas available for Kansas City, has
tested Kansas brick, coal, gas-meters, cements, stone for road building, oil, and has given advice on reinforced concrete structures, flood prevention and drainage plans, and has investigated municipal lighting plants, among them the State House lighting plant. In the Engineering Experimental Station, the most important work of the year was the invention of a process of coal washing which would save $5,000 annually to the State Mine at Lansing on
Investigate Industrial Problems.
Investigate Industrial Problems.
The department of Industrial Research, established by gifts of fellowships from corporations or individuals of business standing, has made numerous advances in conducting research work looking to the solution of serious industrial problems.
The work of the University Geological Survey has already resulted in investible value to the state in the development of coal, oil, gas, Portland cement, xypsum and its products, manufacture, and many important researches in Kansas mineral products are now being conducted.
In the laboratory for chemical water analysis maintained for the state, 1103 samples were analyzed from January 1 to October 18. The work of the food analysis department consisted in analysis for purchasers who suspected food adulteration; advice to manufacturers in regard to the observance of the Pure Food law; the analysis of certain lines of foods when the quantities were too small to warrant the employment of a chemist as the testing of vinegar for the farmers of the state; and analysis for the State Board of Health for the Pure Food law. More than 500 samples were analyzed last year. Seven hundred samples were analyzed by the Drug Analysis laboratory which makes its investigations for the State Board of Health and for manufacturers and dealers.
Go To College At Home. The department of University Extension has broadened so that during the past year some 50,000 people were helped by its varied lines of work. One hundred and forty courses were offered for home study and 702 citizens took advantage of the opportunity to get university training without leaving University College. Prof. 310 lectures during the year to communities over the state. Prof. Milton Fairechild with his series on visual instruction in morals spoke to 22,000 Kansans. Cities all over the state took advantage of the municipal reference bureau, 3587 package libraries were sent out and 97 women's clubs were furnished with programs and advice.
The School of Law aids through lectures on legal, and subjects, through its legislative reference bureau. The departments of sociology and economics carry on work in charity and penal institutions investigation and social surveys.
The extension department of the University aims to take to the whole state a measure of the benefits that are received by students in residence at the University.
JAYHAWKER EYES ON VALLEY GHAMPS
Hamilton's Basket Tossers After Conference Championship
Coach Hamilton is all smiles whenever he is questioned concerning the Jayhawkter basketball team's utility for competing in the Missouri valley championship.
Last year this mentor with only two men back and nothing to pick from, rounded into shape a bunch of scrappers, which galloped off with the southern division and showed most of the convince more than the experts, Coach Stehm among them; that they were real claimants for the valley title.
This season, Hamilton has all the team back with the exception of Stuckey and in addition, three coming recruits, Weaver, Dunmire and Sproull, from last season's freshmen. he men to be used against Washburn in the first game January 18th will be Captain Greenlee, Sproull, Boehm, Brown, Dunmire, Smith, Weaver, and Hite. Brown at present is ineligible on account of his studies, but will probably have his work up by the second semester.
Other Valley Teams Weak.
Other Valley Teams Weak.
The other valley teams are not reported to be exceptionally strong. In the southern division, Washington which seems to be the only formidable contender will be weakened by the loss of Berryhill and Knifeer. Missouri is weaker than ever before and Coach Brewer will have to organize an entirely new squad. In the northern division Nebraska looms up as the most formidable opponent but they will loose Gibson, last year's star forward. Judging from prior season dope it looks like Kansas may meet Nebraska in the finals of the Missouri Valley basket-ball championship race.
Games Scheduled for College Team.
The schedule which is now being completed by Manager Hamilton for the College basket-ball team includes Lindsboro, Minnesota Athletics and Fairmount. Welsh, Sweeney, Brown and Painter are the strongest contenders for berths on this squad.
The testing of Kansas brick, cement, and concrete is a part of the daily work of the engineering testing laboratories maintained for service to the state.
The tuberculosis exhibit sent out through the state by the University in connection with the state board of health had an incalculable influence in stimulating intelligent measures to stamp out this disease.
The parents of the students in the University of Kansas are engaged in 207 occupations, the largest number in any one occupation being farmers.

HIGH SCHOOL FIVES
TO CONTEST HERE
Annual Interscholastic Basket-Ball Tourney to be Held in March
The annual high school basket-ball tournament will be held at the University March 14, and 15th. All of the high school teams which have basket-ball fives usually send a team. Last year thirty teams entered the tournament
These games always prove very interesting because of the great rivalry which exists between high schools in the state.
The Athletic Association will give two silver loving cups this year, one to the championship girls' five, and the other to the winning boys' team. This year more than fifty teams should attend, and Manager Hamilton urges each student to act as a committee of one to try to induce the high school in his home town to send a team. This will be the last chance that many of the students will have to make such a campaign and every one should take a special interest, he declares.
