Work of Y.M.C.A.
During Semester
Stated in Report
Accomplishment of Roaming and Employment Bureaus Summarized by
Secretary
"I wish to put before you a brief statement regarding what I consider the more effective place of the student among men of the University this year by this organization, to present the things that seem to touch most intelligenz of students in campus", said T. E. Shultz, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A, in a report of the work done by that organization during the past decade.
During the two weeks previous to the opening of school and the two weeks after the opening, the employment bureau probably was the most rushed department of the work. An immense number of interns was made to handle the men who were in the direst need. Three hundred and ten jobs have been assured for men through this department, ten of them receiving enough old jobs each week to pay them the equivalent of half-time work. One hundred and twelve men have been placed in permanent positions.
Entertained Hi-Y Delegates
Another important department is the rooming bureau. This bureau had listed at the beginning of school the rooms of 425 handlades. The service was confined to having a list of obtainable rooms from which students desiring them could make their selections. Throughout these double rooms and light housekeeping apartments available for rent has been maintained.
Probably one of the most conspicuous pieces of service was the entertainment in Lawrence by the Haskell and University Y. M. C. A's of the Kansas Hi-Y conference, Nov. 20, 1965. The officers and their adult leaders were entertained in Lawrence during this conference.
Supported Volunteer Convention
No single feature took quite so much time, thought and energy as the preparations for a K. U. delegation to the Indianapolis Volunteer convention, according to Mr. Shults. Thirty-five students went to Indianapolis representing six denominations and a varied student activity group. G. Brantz sent the faculty. Mr. Shults was also a member of the delegation.
During the year the organization has sponsored several lunchons with the students of "Friendship Week" was observed. The finance campaign was put on during October, and resulted in subscriptions to the magazine, which at $1250 has been collected.
Paper Deadline is Near
Reminders have just been sent by Prof. L. N. Flint of the department of journalism to high school papers of Kansas, calling attention to the need for more qualified high school awards made by the department of journalism.
Awards are made in four divisions:
For the best piece of reporting; for a high school newspaper; for the best original edited printed in a high school paper; for the best record of service to a high school by the newsroom; for the best report on methods of security, and handling subscriptions.
The awards will be made b7-16,
faculty of the department of J ur-
sia, and those receiving honorable
will be made an as soon as possible
memorial award.
High School Awards Will Soon Be Made by Faculty
This contest is the outgrowth of the annual high school editorial conference that has been held in Lawrence for the past five years. Two delegates and a supervisor are invited from every high school in Kansas having either written or written about 70 schools were represented last year.

Judges Pick Men for All-Star Team as Tourney Ends
It is always a difficult task to pick the mythical all-star team of any given group and the officials found the high school tournament this year no exception to the rule. The men who are able to go through the grind
Kansas High Schools Send Quintets
Two Men of Wichita Team and Three from Emporia Place in Positions on First Team
Three of the plaques went to members of the new state champion team and the other two went to the runners-up in the tournament, Grant, Kane, and Hancock, asna forward. He played stellar basketball throughout the tournament and was a big factor in placing his team in the finals. He was injured in the final game but his teammates were able to carry on to the championship game. His brothers, whisla the coach of the College of Emporia.
Center/Hard to Pick
of the tournament to the final game, though, are usually the outstanding men of the group. Such was the opinion of the appointing committee.
Roynolds, of Wichita, is the other all-star forward. He was in every play in the final game and his telling shots were greatly responsible for his team's close races. All credit is due him.
Zody, the Emporia star guard, made that position on the all-star team. He closely watched his goal against Devin Carter. He was able to elude him and score.
Clow of Emporia made the center-bore. It was a close race between him and Newton, who won the final decide by an odd place. Clow is a big rangy fellow and used his size to good advantage whenever possible, so he was good well as a good boulder.
Durham, of Wichita, is the other guard. His playing was greatly similar to that of Paul Endacott, one of the guard's guards ever turned out by the University of Kansas. Durham had been a cleanly and was able to carry the ball to his teammates at the other end of the court time after time.
These men were named as comprising the second all Kansas high school five: Forward, Walter, Arkansas City; forward, Conley, Convention center, Nold, Newton; guard, Holt Roseaide; Norlake, Wichita
Second All-Star Team
Honorable mention went to these:
forwards, Cooper, Winfield; Bray,
Brantley; Chapman, Arkansas City; Centers;
Mburney, Wichita; Hinkan, Hutchin,
Guards; Trusler, Marion;
McKenna, Skewaska, Mackenner,
Pherson; Dick, Newton.
Last fall at the High School Editors' Conference that was held here, a round table was held to discuss the many problems of the supervisor. So much good was gotten from this session that we carry on a round table by mail.
Reports from the questionnaires that were recently sent to the supervisors of the high school and the Kaiser institute coming in, and the summarized answers will probably be ready to send back to the instructors about April 1, according to Prof. L. Keating, head of the department of journalism.

EMPORIA DEFEATS WICHITA FIVE AND WINS TITLE OF KANSAS IN FINISH OF BASKETBALL TOURNEY
Rival Teams in High School Contest Battle to Tic Through Speedy Game; Additional Five Minutes of Play Decide Winner as Score Mounts to 32-25
Robinson gymnasium was crowded to the doors. Both teams were fighting for the necessary points which would have given victory when Grant of Emporia was taken from the play with a dislocated knee. For a while it seemed that the red and black clad five could not overcome the handicap. The illusion was short.
Tournament Sidelights
Chew, Emporia center, shot a basket on the tip-off without moving out of his tracks in the Rosedale game.
A diminutive fighter by the name of Baird was put in to fill the place left vacant by the injured man. No small part of the credit for victory will go to the substitute, as four of the hold goals scored from that time were his.
The Kansas high school basketball world arose and saluted a new state champion Saturday night, March 22, when the flashy five from Emporia defeated the quintet of Wichita high school, 32 to 25. The game was not an ordinary one and victory came to Emporia only after a five minute play off. When the final gun halted the play in the last quarter of the regular contest the score was tied 23 all.
In the McPherson-Athol game,
Showalter of McPherson shot eleven
baskets.
Holstein, Kosealde guard, was perhaps the outstanding fighter when Kosealde was defended by Houston, UA 1921 football team is coach at Kosealde.
Smith Center played in hard luck when they lost to Marion Friday afternoon. Martin scored the winning 15 seconds before the game ended.
Visiting High School Players and Coaches Lunch at Commons
There seemed to be no such word as 'music' in the playing vocabulary of the Newton team during the first 'nalf' of the Winfield game.
In the Emperia game, Pete Jones of the Bocconi team fought hard but the team was somewhat handicapped by the lack of height.
Chancellor Lindley, F. C. Allen and Leslie Edmons Give Short Talks
Two hundred high school students were guests of the University at an 11:30 lunchon the Atcoma Saturday morning. This was double the number who attended the luncheon last year, according to John K. Dyer, dean of men, who was in charge of the arrangement. Members of all teams ended their tournaments when they were excepted the four teams which were to meet in the semi-finals Sat day afternoon.
Prof. Weldemar Geltch played a violin solo, accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Geltch. Followed by another violinist, Gracelehrer E. H. Lindsley, Leslie Edmonds, sportwriter and one of the officials of the tournament and of Fortress C. Carlson A.
Chancellor Lindley, after welcoming the high school players to K. U., spoke briefly on the steady improvement in technique and sportmanship in high school basketball in Kansas and continued their education by attending some college or university. Mr. Edmunds talked upon the relationship between scholarship and athletics, stressing the fact that the athlete who will play in a game more eligible is worth less to the team than the poorest substitute.
Several members of the faculty and a number of prominent students of the University who were present were introduced by Dean Dyer. The class included the following Blue, "Ham" Hamilton leading the team in the Rock Chalk.
All of the glory doesn't belong to the victors, for in the runners-up, Emperor found an opponent hard to handle. He cleaned, hard lighting opened of men.
Reynolds, forward, was perhaps the most outstanding man on the Wichita team but Durham, the sturdy red-hood guard, was always ready to take the shirts off the blackboard to aid in working the ball down the court.
This tourney, the seventeenth annual one held under the auspices of the Kansas High School Conference and the Athletic Association of the University of Kansas has been a successful over belief from several points of view.
The fast, clean, scientific playing of the teams entered has never been equalled, and nothing but the finest sportmanship prevailed. One of the outstanding developments is that not a single team from any of the forty teams entered was disqualified from the games on personal fouls.
The Final Game
Emperor started the scoring and eaged two or three goals before the Wichita men got underway. The game was fast and a great contrast to the preceding game, the consultation match, which was listlessly played. At the end of the first quarter the second quarter ended with the Red and black scoring machine showed up best in this quarter.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Grant, star Emporia Airward was carried from the floor with a dislocated knee. Baird, a substitute went in his place and delivered the goods. Emporia's chances looked poor when Grant went out on duty, but that fight could make up for what was lost by injury. The half ended 15 to 11, Wichita.

to watch the rest of the game,
and received a great hand from
the crowd. His appearance evidently
put added spirit into the team and Clow,
the funky Emperor center started a
dash to the final period, # 23 to 23.
Davis, shifty little Wichita forward, went out of the game in the third quarter with a twisted ankle, but was back in the game a few minutes later. Speed and fight were the determining factors in the contest. Long shots were frequent, and fast shots were featured as well.
