A crippled Jayhawk basketball squad left this afternoon for Kansas City where it will meet the players from Madison Avenue Convention hall. With Mosby and Beldgard out of the game, the Kansas team will have to put up one of its hardest fights.
Missouri will enter the fray with a strong team, a team that has not stopped practice, and that is in excellent condition. As a team, Missouri and it is said that the Missouri students are counting on a victory. There is no title at stake in the game. The valley season is over and Missouri has won two games there that old rivalry between the two schools that never in ended.
The preliminary game will be between the first and second mythical all-star high school teams of Kansas City, Mo., and this event alone would draw a large crowd. In charge, the Kansas City high school students take an unusual interest in basketball and their games in large numbers. He last games of the season offer crowds of ten thousand people.
This will be the first time that Missouri and Kansas have met in a basketball game at Kansas City and will also be the first time that they have met in a post-season game any place. Both cities chose first choice entering into such a game, is the opinion of the committee in charge.

Frat Secretary Critical Visiting National Official Given Hiking on Kangaroo
Captain Congdon, national secretary for Delta Upsilon fraternity, is leading the Kanaas chapter. Captain Congdon is familiar with the issues of North America and Canada, having traveled among them for ten years.
"The lane on the social side of the University of Kansas is too many organizations. I think it's the student in the tendency to diffuse his activities and thus lose he opportunity that comes from having a few friends," said Captain Concordon.
In Canada the student has more time for reflection, for really living. Here at Kansa the ambitious man possessing even ordinary ability drives himself from committee to traternity meetings, theme to chl
and professional society meetings. The net result is too little time for reflection which gives opportunity for clear thinking about the problems of student life. This leads to the tanger of snap judgments. As a matter of fact, the man who speaks himself too thin, instead of giving vice as many opportunities for success, is gathering only half as many."

Propose National Park for South; in Appalachians
Monopoly of National Parks by Western States Will Soon Come to
an End
United Press
Washington, March 26. — Strong sentiment has developed here in behalf of the proposal for the establishment of a new national park in the southern coastal region and congressmen have raised to the support of the project, and are pressing for the consideration of particular scenic areas. It now seems that many of these lands are be located somewhere in the southern Appalachian mountains.
So far, the western states have had a virtual monopoly on the national parks, the only one in the east being the Mount Lafayette National Park, and there is no question of the great scenic value of the western park areas, but in many cases they are not rapidly accessible to large centers of population, and the number of persons who have been competitively meager.
There are obviously many reasons why tourists who cannot undertake the long trip to the wet wet should have destinations of scenic attractions in the southern Appalachian region has never been questioned, but it remains to develop facilities for popular enjoyment of it and to bring it to public attention, as would only be possible by the establishment of a national park.
The north-and-south overland automobile tourist travel is developing very rapidly, and more cars have traveled to Florida from eastern and midwestern states before. For a part of the year, at least, the proposed new park would constitute an attractive place of interest en route. In summer it could be developed in a manner to encourage that would extend tourism opportunities.
The idea of a national park in the south originated in a suggestion made by Stephen T. Mather, director of National Park Service, in his annual report on 1903 that this organization and the department of interior.
Secretary Work now anits provides a partial committee report as to which region is best suited for the new system. To accomplish that goal, park system "must not be lowered in standard, dignity and prestige by the inclusion of areas which express in less than the highest terms the particular type of exhibit which they represent."
Congressman Henry W. Temple o Pennsylvanian is chairman of the spiial committee, other members being Major W. A. Welch, who has been associated with the Paladine county state park; the Smith, Smith, engineer of the geological survey; Harlan P. Kalsey, president of the Appalachian Mountain club of Boston, and William P. Gregg of the National Arts Club.

"Those who are planning these luncheons feel that Christianity should not be taught in school," said Ted Shultz, Y. M. C. secretary. "In so far as it is a worthwhile aid, it must be relied on with the lives of ordinary human beings."
Tickets for the remaining four luncheonies may be secured **M** the Y, M, C, A. or the W, Y, C. office (each $20). Single reservations are 29 cents.
