ALL K.U. IS GLAD TO GREET YOU
Mayor Kreeck To Give Big Farewell Party For High School Guests
Basketball Squads Will Be Entertained In Gym Saturday
Night
All Teams Urged to Stay
Treat for Tournament Visitors Promises to be of Highest Class
The Kansas high school basketeers in attendance at the twelfth annual state high school basketball tournament that is being held in Robinson gymnasium today and Saturday are to be given a real farewell treat by Mayor George L. Kreeck of Lawrence according to plans announced this morning. The big treat will be in the form of a big farewell party, refreshments, and several intermittent feature entertainments.
Mayor Kreeck made a special trip to the University late Thursday afternoon and stated his plans to Manager W. O. Hamilton, who immediately approved the plans and promised full co-operation to make the undertaking a real success. The big party will be staged immediately after the final state championship game which is scheduled to start at 8 o'clock Saturday night and end a few minutes before 9 o'clock.
The party is to be a real democratic affair for the visiting high school students. Mayor Kreeck plans to get the very best music that can be obtained with a real entertainment and refreshments. Because of the large number of high school students that are expected to partake of the Lawrence hospitalization, we will be visiting basketeers in addition to the Lawrence high school team and all the Lawrence high school girls.
The reason for asking the Lawrence high school girls to attend the party is because of the fact that there are a great many more visiting high school boy basketkeepers than visiting high school girl basketballers so that the local high school girls are essential for partners and properly protected so that everything is expected to be a big success.
Manager W. O. Hamilton has promised that immediately after the state championship game the gymnasium will be put in first class condition for the party. The main floor has been reserved for the visiting high school basketballers and Lawrence high school girls and team, while the balcony will be open to the local spectators who have attended the state tournament.
Every effort will be made to get the visiting high school basketeers to remain in Lawrence for the final state championship game and the big farewell entertainment immediately afterwards. The various University fraternities, sororities, and organizations have responded admirably to the call board and room for the visitors during the tournament so that Mayor Kreeck and Manager W. O. Hamilton believe that practically all of the visitors will remain for the final game and farewell entertainment.

Communication of Owl Society Considered and Society Notified
Soph. Hop Price Is $3.00
Auditing Committee Will Take
Tickets at all Student Activities
The communication from the Ow Society to the Senate were considered at the meeting of the Senate last night and it was voted that the Chancellor be requested to notify the society this had been done. The Senate voted favorably on several measures recommended by student organizations.
The recommendation from the student affairs committee that regular monthly convocations at some convenient morning hour be held the rest of this year was adopted. It was voted that the Chancellor be given charge of all convolutions.
The recommendation of the student affairs committee that the price of Soph Hop be increased to $3.00 was also adopted.
The recommendation of the auditing committee that the committee be enlarged by adding two members from the council of the Woman's Student Government Association, two members from the Men's Student Council and additional members from the Senate was voted upon favorably.
The recommendation of the disciplinary committee reading "In order to complete this audit of University organizations" accounts each student organization shall submit the tickets for each activity to the University auditor for the purpose of checking the tickets held and to permit the checking of the tickets at the door at the time the event is held," was adopted.
After adopting that recommendation, the Senate voted that the auditing committee be instructed to carry out the direction in the case of all university organizations giving entertainments or dances for which tickets are sold. The general opinion of the Senate seemed to be that taking tickets at the door was the only method of auditing fair to all organization and the only method of removing suspicion of graft from student affairs. The measure was regarded as one to protect student interests.
The petition from the Woman's Student Government Association, which had been considered at former meetings, that the proceeds of variity dances should be given to the organizations giving the dances and spent subject to the approval of their faculty adviser, was referred to the student affairs committee which will meet Saturday morning.
The motion that the price of $1.50 set by the Senate for student dances be considered to apply only to dances where an entrance fee is charged was noted upon favorably.

Prof. Haworth Visits Father
Names! Names! What May Names Signify?
"Oh, girls, you want to meet those high school basketball folks. Some of them must be just awfully nice. Just listen to these names; Howard Doll from Burlington and Earle Darling from Concordia.
"But then I suppose you can't tell anything by names, because when I first looked at the paper, I thought it was a menagerie coming to Jayhawk Hill instead of a gang of basketball people. Robert Hare, Dale Hawk, James Bird, and Kenton Crane aren't animals at all though. They are real boys and keen ones too. We're researchers on the girls' teams, too, but they aren't a bit like the animals they represent.
"They say that the girls are an awfully noisy bunch! But I don't see why they shouldn't be with Pearl Claxton and Elizabeth Piper sleep.
"Ima Cox and Iva Graybill are among the prominent members too and they say that Jeanette Sleeper is one of them," Pearl is simply a jewel, I've heard.
"I'm going to the games and find out about these people anyway."

State High School Tournament Starts With Fifty-Five Teams
Tournament Began at 10 o'Clock, When Arkansas City Last Year's Champions, Defeated Valley Falls
Gymnasium Crowded with Spectators all Day
Lawrence Defeated Preston in Their First Game With Large Local Crowd Watching
The tournament started promptly at 10 o'clock, when Arkansas City, last year's champions, met Valley Falls. A few minutes later, Perry and Vinland started on the other cross court, and the big meet was on. "Red" Brown of Kansas City, former Jayhawker star basketball player, and "Dutch" Uhrlaub, now coach at Haskell and Kansas basketball captain in 1917, were selected to referee the games. Members of the Varsity basketball team of this year also acted as officials.
The State High School Basketball Tournament started with a rush in Robinson Gymnasium this morning, with fifty-five teams competing for the title in both the boys' and girls' races. Interest was high and the big gymnasium was crowded with onlookers throughout the morning. This was especially true during the Lawrence-Preston game, when the local high school followers crowded the gym and cheered for their team. Lawrence also was represented by a brass band in the balcony. Many other high schools in the state brought delegations of rooters with them, and altogether it was a noisy crowd.
Plain Tales From the Hill
Fred Leach and James Knoles were entering the library and a fresh looked up and said, "Well, there come, the Delta Tau fraternity."
"Better look out for spring elections are coming," said E. Z. Mark. "Last winter we elected two barbs to office and they are blossoming out with Acacia pledge buttons now."
The candidates for the W.S.G.A. are electionering for the coming election and their biggest way of gaining votes is telling the women that their party will not enforce the midweek date rules on all voting their ticket. From indications half of the women are going to get in bad later no matter which party elects.
One fraternity drew a basketball team they did not appreciate and fed the men beans, bacon and sauer krant for lunch and eggs for dinner last night. The men lost the first game and the Greeks bid them farewell.
It is rumored that the names of the students who are smoking on the Hill are being taken and that they will be disciplined. If this be true all of the men will be on the disciplined list according to Heesa Liar.

Every time the Jayhawk elects a manager, which is once a year, one souring prof invariably remarks. "Another boy ruined." The profs say Jayhawk managers never get over the effect of being Jayhawk managers.
Ferry says, "They should not call me Professor I, Markem Down in the Plain Tales, but Professor I, Markem Up."
The first game began with Valley Falls on the defensive and the Arkansas City quintet, last year's state championships, playing hard. Two minutes elapsed before either team scored, and then Kayler, big Ark City center, dropped the ball into the basket from beneath the goal. Stewart, a forward, scored for Valley Falls with a free throw and followed it with a goal from the field. Kayler again counted from the field, followed by two goals by Gardner. Arkansas City forward. Valley Falls played basketball, but were no match for their larger and more experienced opponents. The score at the end of the half was 16-3 for Arkansas City.
Valley Falls came back with a rush in the second period and goals by Stewart and Lewis, the center, brought their total up to twelve points. Kayler and Gardner back with an avalanche of goals in the latter part of the period, however, and the final score was 34-12 for Arkansas City. Kayler, with eight field goals and Gardner, with six field goals and one free throw, were the Ark City stars, while Stewart and Lewis played well for Valley Falls.
PERRY, 16; VINLAND, 11
Perry defeated Vinland in a hard game this morning by a score of 16-11, after being outplayed by Vinland in the first period. The score at the end of the first half was 8-9 in favor of Vinland, but Perry, led by Grindol, forward, spurred in the last half and ended with star for Perry with four field goals and played the best game for Vinland. Vinland had never played on an indoor court before this morning, and were handicapped because of this fact.
LAWRENCE 36; PRESTON.11
One of the fastest contests of the morning was played between Lawrence and Preston the former team winning by a score of 36-11. Lawrence had their two forwards, Houk and Coffman, out of the game and probably out of the tournament because of illness, but they fought hard all the way, and the substitute forwards played good basketball. The score at the end of the first half was only 9-4 for Lawrence, but the Preston team tired about the middle of the second half and Lawrence, with Captain Woestermeyer at the lead, shot baskets almost at will.
The first few minutes were hard fought and neither team scored. Finally Preston bagged a long shot and took the lead. It was short, however, as Ackerman shot a goal from the sidelines and Woestermeyer followed with another. Then Weede also scored and the result was no longer in doubt. Endacott showed great form on the defensive end of the play.
