BASKET BALL COACH CALLS FOR MATERIAI
Coach Schlademann Starts Pre paratory Work Out With Large Squad
9 "K" Men out for Varsity
Dr. Allen and Adrian Lindsey Will Be In Charge Of Freshmen
With the basket ball season on call goes out from the athletic department for Varsity material, a large squad is out going through some easy workouts preparatory to going into training for the season. There are nine "K" men out: Bunn, Laslett, Lonborg, Harms, Frederick Miller, Feller, Bennett and E. Uhlraub. The cool shank training will be the regular practice, will not prevent it. Practice for the present will be at 4:30 on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
Coach Schadlemann will go to Kansas City Friday to meet with the regular Missouri Valley Conference, to arrange the schedule for the season. Coach Schadlemann will have charge of the Varsity training.
Dr. F. C. Allen will send out a call for freshman aspirants to basket ball fame this week, and hopes to have a team that can win the tournament. The basketball will be taught to the freshmen, so that they may step into the shoes of the Varsity next year. The first year men will be handled by Doctor Allen and Adrian Lindsay.
Coaches plan to keep the entire number of men out for basket ball on the squads, as they find the practice easier. The team is more harmful than beneficial.

Pittsburgh, Kana, Dec. 2—The wreck to the special train took place at 5:30 a. m. Monday, and the men did not until leave up $ p_1 m_2$, when another special made up at Chanute, picked them up.
We pulled into Pittsburgh about 4:30. The inhabitants were lined up en masse along the last few miles to view the soldiers. They just looked among themselves—few waved, and among them the train replied—orders.
The K. U. miners left this morning for Scammon, where with two or three non-union men they are to operate a mine two miles from town. They are the only crew to completely man a mine.
In spite of the miscellaneous garb, the miners' gang is a well drilled bunch. Captain Wint Smith found an opening in the corner and wett. Wint was worried last night on account of the speed with which the blankets disappeared, A.E. carrying them in the bunch, and some of the ex-offenders are carrying their gats
to be ready for almost anything.
One no one knows how long we'll be here—the idea is for us to furnish the wherewithal to keep the H. F. B. till the guys who are supposed to do so get back from their vacation. We unloaded enough equipment yesterday to last six months in Siberia.

MANAGERS ANNOUNCE JUNIOR PROM-JAN. 16
Bauman and Wells are Working On Details—May Have 18- Piece Orchestra
Coal Famine May Postpone
Managers Will Put on Party If University Remains
Open
The Junior Prom will be given January 16, if the coal shortage does not result in the closing of the Uni-
tity. The Uni-ty is also obligated by Bill Wya, managers, this month.
Tentative plans for the securing of the largest orchestra that ever played at a Hill party were announced by Mr. Bauman, who has just returned from Kansas City where he attempted to secure the services of the Muehlenbach eighteen-piece orchestra. Some of the decorative work and the programs are already in the process of preparation, according to Mr. Bauman.
The student interest committee will decide this week on the price of the party, which is the largest and most pretentious of the school year.
Seniors who attended the Junior Prom last year, and have their receipts for tickets, are to be admitted free this year, and those who attend this year will receive a receipt which will admit them to next year's party.
The prom managers are discussing a new manner of handling a crowd as large as can be gotten through the doors of the gymnasium, so that music may be going on constantly and everyone can dance without the usual confusion that generally attends the large parties.

Professors Disagree on Solution to Heat Problem
"Is it possible and feasible to make a substitute coal?" In Europe during the war a substitute coal was manufactured from old paper and a solution of salt water compressed in the form of briquettes. The K. U. chemistry professors say this is possible.
"The only paper really useful is this respect," said Professor Dains "would be the ordinary newspaper and other papers of a similar quality. This paper is much more expensive and magazines contains a great deal of talc, magnesium or clay which gives it smooth surface necessary for sharply defined printing. Of course this paper is an ash which makes it totally useless for fuel purposes."
Professor Daima thinks that the only practical method of utilizing paper as fuel would be to save the ordinary wood. The result is that it burns and almanacs instead of burning them.
"It it isn't a question." mid. Mr. Rowland, "of finding a substitute for coal, but of getting the coal out of the mills. It seems to me that moving the whiteworms coal problem is for the people to go down and get the coal themselves."
F. E. Rowland quite agreed with Professor Dains but could not see the use of hunting around for a substitution; he was plenty of cobal in the mines.
in the alley. It is his opinion that as much heat can be gotten from burning them in in a folded packet in the oven, it will provide a suitable combination of manner and salt.
