Twelve Men Candidates For Battery Positions
Practice to Be Interrupted for Week by Class Examinations
Varsity baseball practice in Robinson Gymnasium is starting well with twelve men limbering up Wednesday afternoon between 2:30 and 4 o'clock for battery positions. Infielders and outfielders have been called out by Coach Bond for workouts every day this week, but there will be no practice next week because of quizzes and vacation, said the coach.
The indoor workouts will be resumed the first daw after vocation and uniforms will be checked out in the gym to them. In the second day, and to the otherVarsity candidates.
The battery men are taking things easy now and will be in shape for outdoor work soon after the opening of the next quarter. "Dutch" Weltmer, veteran catcher and "K" man on the 1016 team, is working with the pitchers, and Chestnut, a frommaker received last year, and Pierce, a frommaker last year, and Slawson, who worked on the mound for the freshman and Varsity last year, have been throwing the ball around in the gym in preparation for outside work.
"The Varsity schedule will be much better than was at first expected," said Coach Bond. "The Agyges will play ball and that will mean an addition of six games to the list. Three games probably will be played in Lawrence and three in Manhattan."
The Kansas coach is going to try and arrange three or four preliminary games with Kansas Conference teams before entering the Valley schedule. St. Mary's College is to have a team and the Emporia Normal and Baker University are consider in putting a team in the field.
Fifteen Entries Received For High School Games
Fifteen entries for the State High School Basketball Tournament March 28-29, have been received already by Athletic Manager Hamilton and the meet this year is expected to be a record breaker from an attendance viewpoint. Many of the high schools already entered will send both boys' and girls' teams. The fifteen entries are: Kansas City, Kansas, Girard, Eudora, Independence, Coldwater, Winfield, Emporia, Gardner, Douglass, Atchison, Greeley, Syracuse, Herington, Dodge City and Turner.
Manager Hamilton expects that more than fifty teams will be entered in the tournament before March 20, the final date for entries. The Jaya-hawker coach has asked the co-operation of organizations on the Hill in entertaining the teams and he has expressed the desire that every team coming to Lawrence be shown as good a time as possible by fraternities, sororites, clubs and other organizations.
Track Team Loses Torrey
The Jayhawker track team lost another spinner yesterday when Torrey, who has been out for the dashes and the quarter, sprained his ankle. He will probably be out for the remainder of the season. Torley has been running the 30-yard dash and also ran one lap of the relay against the Aggies. This was his first year on the K. U. track team.
The University of Oklahoma is soon to have a health insurance club if the plans of the student council are carried out. According to the general plan that has been worked out students of the university are to be formed into a protective league, members of which will be entitled to 'hospital treatment under physicians of their own choice in case of illness.
The annual report in connection with the Rhodes Scholarships says only nine students were in residence during 1918, of whom four had previously been in active service in the war and two who had been medically rejected for military service. Twenty Rhodes scholars or former scholars were killed during the war. Military including seven men from South Africa, nine Australians and nine Canadians.
Of fifty scholars elected for 1917 forty- six took up military service, twenty were medically rejected and accepted Government work instead, and two were otherwise employed. The report says the election of scholars will be resumed next October.—Boston Transcript.

Protection of University Honor Demands Audit (Continued from page 1)
of the Senate and the faculty. The Chancellor was given absolute power to appoint teachers and to hire all employees of the University; also the absolute power of dismissal of anyone in the University. No other change, however, was made.
"In the meanwhile, that is, between 1009 and 1915, the students asked for student government, so we tried it. The Senate passed a rule relinquishing all powers of student control and discipline. For two years we had no Disciplinary Committee and conditions were most unsatisfactory. Discipline could not be maintained, and in 1915, Leland Thompson, then president of the student body asked the Senate to take its power back. The Senate did not want it, and the students would not keep it. The result was that, Thompson turned, in writing, the powers of government, over to the Senate again.
"LARDNER WANTS AUDIT
"In 1915, Mr. Lardner, head of the Board of Administration, demanded again that all accounts be audited, and offered to do the auditing himself.
Notices were sent to more than fifty organizations and only nine were present at the required time and they had almost nothing to audit. The Board censured the Senate and the business manager was 'sore' at the University and all that was connected with it.
"In 1917 the business department decided to turn this difficult problem of auditing over to the department of Commerce and Economics, only to receive it right back again.
CHANCELLOR RESPONSIBLE
"The Board of Administration then turned the responsibility over to me, and it devolved upon Mr. Foster, who as business man and registrar of the University handled this kind of work. The Senate then passed a rule giving him complete powers in this matter of auditing so that he might work unhampered.
"There would have been no trouble about this auditing if all the organizations had come to Mr. Foster on the square. They brought fraudulent accounts. Some of them got away with it, but, nevertheless, I knew of it."
"Then this state of affairs was known among the student body, there was much opposition and agitation against graft and in favor of reform."
The Chancellor then paid a tribute to the K. U. men who have died in service, mentioning the recent death of Theodore Rocklund in France. Over one hundred K. U. men have perished in the war, and the Chancellor spoke of the feasibility of placing the pictures of these men together in a permanent memorial.
In conclusion Chancellor Strong said, "let us put aside this idea of personal feeling and fix things so that we may make a new fresh beginning this fall, and get the old K. U. enthusiasm of the days before the war."
Engineers Park Cars In University Porticos
The engineers were at large again this morning and visited Green Hall. They tracked mud through the laws playhouse and when they left, there remained behind them a lonely little Ford right in the middle of the front porch. Presently the engineers returned to have their picture taken in front of the Green Hall and the flivver.
Not contented even with these shocking excesses, they repeated the performance on the steps of Fraser. This time they stranded a bright yellow car high and dry in that imitation classic portico.
Mrs. Jonathan Thomas who died recently left $10,000 as a gift to Washburn. It is to be used to build a new swimming pool and for the upkeep of Thomas gymnasium, which was donated to the college by her husband before her death.

Former K. U. Captain Plays Guard for Fast Kansas City Team
The Jayhawker basketball team is working hard to get into shape for the last basketball game of the season against the Kansas City Schmelizers in Convention hall Saturday night. The Kansas quintet has been showing real form in the scrimages this week against the freshmen and against Lawrence high school, which team they easily defeated Monday night.
The Kansas City team is made up principally of former high school stars, with Milton Singer, former Central star forward and captain, and Mort Hauserman at the forward positions and Sam Dubin, ex-Manual captain, as first substitute.
The Schmelzers have the class of this part of the country, however, and probably one of the best basketball teams in the United States, and the Jayhawkers will be put to the hardest test of the year.
Captain Forrest DeBernardi, former Northeast high school star and one of the best basketball players Kansas City has turned out in many years, will play center. DeBernardi is from high school before going to Northeast.
Lawrence "Fat" Nelson, K.U. basketball captain in 1917, is playing guard for the Scherlockers and Baiti the former Manual star, is the other guard.
Kansas Has Traditions for Freshmen to Uphold
What does Kansas expect of her Freshman? Does she have the traditions of Princeton, or Yale? A glance at the customs of the University will reveal that the Kansas freshman is bound by the past history to uphold a few traditions.
Freshmen are expected to wear the small blue cap with the beginning of the foot-ball season, and until after the Thanksgiving game. Again with the dawn of April 1st they are expected to bring the cap forth.
Freshmen are prohibited from past
Fresmen are not allowed to have a date at any of the foot-ball games. If found with a date they are tossed in a blanket.
Upon pledging to a fraternity, freshmen are required to: sweep snow off the walls, dust the furniture of the house, furnish smokes for upperclassmen, prepare Sunday evening lunch, black shoes if called upon, and, answer the telephone all hours of the day and night.
As seniority of class determines the

Antitransubstant istionalistically
In the discussion that has been going on concerning the longest word in the English language, the latest candidate is “antitransubstantialistically”, which easily outrugs “honoricefabilititude” and “anthropomorphologically.” Such words, however, are more likely to have been used by an individual, as the word “antidisestablishmentarianism” is said to have been used by Archbishop Benson, than to have got permanently lodged in the dictionary.—From the Christian Science Monitor.
