THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
INTRA-MURAL CAGERS WILL BE ORGANIZED
Four Leagues to be Pan-helenic Hash-House, Inter-class and Inter-School
Every-One to be Eligible
Prizes May be Awarded In Form Of Individual Cups to Winners
Plans are under way for several basket-ball leagues made up of the various organizations, classes and professional schools in the University. The purpose is to arouse enthusiasm among the students for this sport and to enable them to find all the opportunities possible to put a win-win Variety game.
"The Varsity material outlook is promising but is not commensurate with what we believe in there in the school." said Kari Schlademan. He pointed to this reason that the developing of intra-mural basket-ball is being encouraged, not only to arouse the interest of the whole school, but to swell the material for the Varsity and competition for a position on the team.
"Arrangements are being made to form four leagues at present," said Coach Schadlemann, "a Pan-hemlin, Hash-House, Inter-Class, and Inter-School league between the different professional schools. This lets in everybody, since in the Hash-House league anyone who joins a team to compete for the championship and trophy. Prizes in this league may be awarded in the form of individual cups to each member of the winning team.
"Of course, if the coal situation remains as acute as at present the schedules for these leagues will necessarily have to be delayed but we expect to be able to have continuous use of the gymnasium by January."
Doctor Allen, director of athletics is strong in his approval of the plan and reports evidence of strong rivalry among the organizations in particular for honors in this sport. Both Varsity and freshman squares are of ocurce ineligible for participation in these games.
K. U. MINERS MAY RETURN NEXT WEEK
Dr. Naismith, After Trip Pittsburg, Says Volunteers Are in Fine Trim
The K. U. boys in the Pittsburgh coal fields will be back to school by next week and the question is that matters will have to be readjusted before they can return, said Dr James Naismith today.
Dr. James Naismith left Friday night for Pittsburgh and spent the week end with the boys. They are all coming along fine, happy and lots of pop, and having the best of time, he says. There will be some double to as whether the boys will stay and join the girls at school. They are getting some real experience, and will do them no harm, according to Dr. Naismith.
The situation as it stands today in the Pittsburgh coal regions is that there are more applicants received than needed, and in a few days the K. U. crew will be sent back. The miners have contented themselves by thinking thinelement and coal operators will make terms and they can go back to work, said Dr. Naimish in reviewing the situation.

Coal Dust Scoops
Fetigrdinn Gottlieb
insigne duty and police work instead of coal digging has been the occupation of Mr. K. U. coal gang, which has been quartered at the Normal since early in the week. The men have done whatever work was necessary at the guardroom to assist the guardmen. Walter M. McGill is in charge of the group, which includes V. P. Scheley, A. K. Chambers, M. D. Hereford, G. H. Bell, E. Hawes, G. Brewfyglo, W. C. Crosby, R. Kiefer, R. D. Maher, F. R. Lobaugh G. B. Wall and L. M. Henderson.
The colors of the machine gun service are blue and red, greatly resembling the Crismon and the Blue. This seems quite appropriate in view of the commanding officer and a number of the men are from the University.
NUMBER 86.
Pittsburgh reporters saw a dozen or six soldiers riding down one of the principal streets the other day and hastened out to get more details if the arrival of the K. N. G. cavalry. Neither General Martin nor Colonel Dorsington could give any information on the subject and it was not until the Colonel of the regulars was approached that any light was shed.
"They're doughboys taking the draft horses for some exercise," said the colonel.
It will be worth the trip to the station to witness the arrival of the Machine Gun Company when the strike is ended. An 'order' was issued that all members should raise a mustache or do his utmost toward such an adornment. Men, found with upper lips shaven when the order comes to return home will be left in Pittsburgh without razors, goggles and backpacking the movement, and guards will be stationed at all barber shops and manicure parlors.
K. U. miners and K. U. guards are men waiting for "divisional insignia" to be worn on the left shoulder. They say some one should design and manufacture a distinction badge with the slogan, "Put KU First."
The only way miners and guards
m knew it was Sunday was because
the sun shone. Full routine
work went on everywhere. It was
the first clear day since the men
arrived here.
"I sure had a narrow escape this morning," said the supply sergeant as he sat down to mess.
"Howzat?" inquired a cook.
"Well, I started over to the supply room about um-up this supply, and ran into a girl standing on the floor, biting her bait and before I could stop sliding, I'd might near shoved his bayonet clear through me."
The attitude of the miners toward the volunteer workers and the guardians varies in different parts of the country. Strikers brought out food to the crew of one of the ships, and then insisted that the men stay all night with them. Many miners have told guardians they realize fully the troops are here as neutrals in the strike, helping only to facilitate the production of coal. In some cases, these miners have been told that most of these demonstrations come from foreign born miners and sympathizers.
A venturesome volunteer miner from K. U., desiring first hand information on the strike, penetrated to the private office of Alexander Howat, strikes in one of the miners' claims, in an eloquent response of the miners' claims, be said:
"If you men want to do the best and most reasonable thing for all concerned and really desire to see a peaceful settlement, you will all-volunteers and state troops—pack up and go home."
Mrs. Bernice White-Scott, Mus. B., '10; went through Lawrence Saturday on her way to Washington where she will spend the winter with her father who is a member of Congress, and her husband, James M.

COLLEGE MINERS DIG
WITHOUT MACHINERY
Students Use Pick and Shovel After Machinery Freezes Up
Union Miners Incredulous
Slightly Better Weather May Allow Exercise of Machinery Later
Pittsburg, Kan. Dec. 10—Kansas college students today put the weather man to flight and despite a zero temperature, began adding to the output cars of coal, obtained yearly in the southeastern Kansas strip mines.
Union miners early today were incredulous of the announced strip mine production in weather that in former years had baffled all outdoor activity, because it was right and intimidated "wrong count" on the part of state receivers.
Machinery was "out of the running" and volunteers brought out chunk after chunk of glistening coal with handpicks and shovels. Slightly improved weather conditions may alter the temperature at some of the nits later today.
Missouri mines were all but ice-bound. Eight mines however, were expected to increase the output of mines to the efforts of volunteers yesterday.
HEALTH LABORATORY ON WAY TO PITTSBURG
Olin Deibert, c17. Former Bacteriology Student, Will be In Charge
At the request of General Martin and the State Board of Health, a health laboratory has been sent to Pittsburgh to look after the physical condition of the troops and the students working the mines. Olin Dei-Weiss, a biomedical nurse at United Biotechnology laboratory and has served as half-time assistant for the state, was sent to take charge of the temporary laboratory.
Professor Haskins, superintendent of the water and sewage laboratory spent some time in Pittsburg investigating conditions. On his return he put the request of the State Board of Health before the Chancellor, Dean Tompin, and Professor Sherwood, of the Water Laboratory, to re-operated co-operated with him in the plan. The Water Laboratory furnished a complete field kit.
The Health laboratory, which will be located in the State Normal laboratory if possible, will care for all health tests for the men in the mines and will co-operate with the medical department in preventing epidemics.

Indianapolis, Dec. 10.—After two hours of debate, Union chiefs of the coal miners adjourned for lunch shortly after noon today without reaching an agreement with Winn's proposal to seal the coal strike. They were to reconvene at 1:30 p.m.
