THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Hitching Racks for Hot Footed Nags Graced Landscape near Lilac Row in Good Old Days
Students of today attend school under conditions very different from those of many years ago. Prof. Olin Turpill, telling of life on Mt. Oread when he was a student, revealed many facts which seem curious to one accustomed to the present campus.
The campus to the west only a far as where the car line now crosses the Hill. There was a hedge between the university and houses beyond it. "The region beyond that hedge was so desolated," said Prof Templem, smiling, "that I couldn't find wolves out there." At this time the annual appropriations of the University amounted to only about $250,000, which could be done by way of improvements.

Seventeenth H. S. Basketball Meet Opens This Week
Kansas High School Teams Fight Annually for State Championship Since 1908
Sixteen years ago began the traditional state high school basketball tournament which is held annually at the University of Kansas. In 1908 six boys teams contented in K. U.'s basketball court in connection with the invitation neet. Halstead High School won that year.
In 1999 the track tournament was divorced from the basketball contest, and girls' basketball teams were also invited to contest for the state championship. The team entered, and seven girls' teams also. Halsted again won the tournament, but this time because Eudora was disqualified by having on its team two ineligible men. Beloit that year won the first girls high school tournament behind it with over charge to the line of 15 to 8.
By 1910 the number of boys and girls teams had reached the total of 36. In 1911 and 1912 the number of teams was doubled. In 1915, 15 teams contested; in 1916, 53; and in 1917, 68. In 1917 a new high water mark in the number of teams was established at the University of Kansas for the championship was set. But the next year there began a slump which dragged on until 1924, when teams to the fifteen for three years.
1921 Marks Banner Year
The year 1921 is the memorable one in which 77 teams strived for supremacy. Newton scored 27 to Lawrence' and 34 to Kyle's teams that year, Gardner and Wells came out ahead and in the finals the former won, 46 to 25.
In 1922 the number of contesting teams decreased to 40. This was partly due to the fact that the year tournament was held, that the 34 boys team fought against each other, Kansas City, Kan., High School emerged victorious, bared the defending Hutchinson team, and had been taken to play off the tie.
centered around Tennessee street. There were only a few houses on Ohio. The streets were unpaved and in the spirt of being unpaved, the walks were boardwalks. The planks on them had a bit of coming loose, and as a result, walking on them often they often popped up, tripping one.
In all the history of the boys' high school basketball games held at the University, Newton has risen to the finals more than any other high school team in the state. In the year 1916 Newton won the championship, and in the same year 1917 when 68 teams contested. But in 1918 Arkansas City nosed the former champions out in the finals, 38 to 35. Newton again made its appearance as state champion in 1921 when the largest number of high school basketball teams ever contested the playoff game appeared. Her last year she was a score of the hands of Fort Scott by a score of 26 to 24.
Halstead Makes Record
Hallestad set the first mark in state high school basketball history by winning the first two years that the tournaments were held. Clay County won the next
There were no restaurants in this district. The students ate at boarding clubs and private homes. The Yee fraternities, the Betas, Phis, and Kelan have not yet hired a new residence but held their meetings in downtown halls.
The amusements of the students were much simpler in those days, due partly to a lack of funds. In the winter, bob-sled and skating were popular activities; steep hills covered many thrills for the coasters and not a few injuries. The skating was done on the Kaw river, as Patterson's team did. The skaters were Dean Marvin, of the engineering department. He was a powerful and graceful skater, the object of envy and a model of those to be found in the sport.
The clothing of the students was different, too. They were just what they could get. But they had used the coen-skin stage of equipment.

year, but has not succeeded so well since. Reno County became a dangerous contestant in 1912 when she was defeated by Baldwin. Baldwin. The next year she was easily defeated by Halstead in the finals, and in the following year also entered the last round of the game, defeated. Winfield won twice in succession in the years 1919 and 1920. Of the girls' games, Belaoit won the first in 1909. Chanute won the second in 1908. The following year in the finals against Reno County. Chanute again entered the finals in 1914 against Arkansas City, but her team was not successful. Chanute again took the girls' basketball victory from Rosedale, but the next year Rosedale came back and took it away from Chanute. Baldwin joined in 1921 Gardner won from Wellville, 40 to 25.

It is probable that the number of high school basketball teams contesting for the state championship willceed that of last year, from the number of applications which are coming in.
The athletic directors at the University believe that the number of high school basketball teams coming to K. U., to contest for the state championship is on the upward trend, and will tend within a few years to reach such a phenomenal number as it did in 1921.
