The Kansas Aggies won the Missouri Valley basketball title Saturday night in Manhattan when they defeated the Nebraska Cornhuskers quintet for the second consecutive time and increased their run of straight victories to ten. The Aggies have showed class throughout the race and have yet to lose a game, although they have two to play with Missouri before their season closes. They can lose both of these games, however, and still win the championship, as Missouri has already lost three games, two to the Cornhuskers and one to Kansas.
The Jayhawkers finished in fifth place with a record of five games won and nine defeats. Kansas defeated Washington twice, and won single games from Ames, Nebraska and Missouri, while they lost four games to the Aggies, three to Missouri and one each to Nebraska and Ames.
Although the record of the Kansas five is by no means good, the team has had the peculiar distinction of actually handing the championship to the Kansas Aggies. To begin with, when the Missouri Tigers were going good and were doped to win the title, Kansas came along and upset all predictions by defeating the Tigers and putting them out of the race. On top **qf** that, the Jayhawkers lost four games in a row to the Aggies and that fact boosted Agie hopes for the title. But on the climax, the Nebula Bully concomitant, the other title winner, came south and the Jayhawkers again did the unexpected and won the first game by a big score, thereby practically eliminating the Cornhuskers and leaving the field clear for the Aggies.
The Jayhawkers have played very erratic basketball all season and the only time they were in form on the home court was the first game against Nebraska when they smothered the Huskers under a 31-17 score The Kansas five played much better basketball away from home, and broke even in eight games with Ames, Missouri, the Aggies and Washington. On the home court, the team has won only one game in the Valley Conference race, and that one against the Huskers. Besides the one, they have beaten Baker and Kansas City Polytech.
Johnny Bunn, forward, has played
the most consistent game for the Crismon and Blue team and is one of the leading scorers in the Valley. Bennett, who started the season at guard and finished at forward has also played good basketball, especially at the latter position. Lonberg has displayed real ability since he was shifted to guard, especially in his interception of passes and guarding under the goal, and he should be one of the best guards in the Valley next year. Every man on the team will be eligible for basketball next year except Matthews and Mason, who will graduate
Talk it Over
This will mean that the Jayhawkers probably will meet the Aggies in six games, three of them here and three in Manhattan, and this fact in itself will mean much toward the success of baseball here as it will give Kansas a bigger and better schedule. The six games with Ames will probably not be played until the latter part of the school year.
Prospects for baseball in the Missouri Valley took a decided boom last week when it was definitely announced that the Kansas Aggies would have a team, and that five hundred student tickets to the games had been sold.
The Jayhawkers have finished their Valley schedule, but it is probable that they will play the Kansas City Schmelzers in Convention Hall in Kansas City Saturday.
The Jayhawker battery men will begin working out this afternoon and will work steadily in the gymnasium until the call for outdoor practice comes. The pitchers and catchers should be in fair shape by that time and with plenty of material in sight for both the infield and outfield, there is every reason to think they could succeed in a success. Lack of coaching and pitching were the weaknesses of the team last year and these should be overcome this year.
Baseball Team Certain for Aggies This Year

There is no dope on the strength that the Aggies and Ames will be able to put on the diamond, except that Ames has several veterans from last year's team in school. The Kansas Aggies did not play baseball last year or the year before.

It is odd to realize the practical use of the dove, generally accepted as the symbol of peace, in carrying on war, and it has probably surprised many people to learn that the homing pigeon differs materially from the carrier pigeon so long associated with the bearing of messages. As a matter of fact, the carrier pigeon has practically ceased and is nowadays raised for its fine looks rather than its homing instinct. The homing pigeon used in the United States Army and Navy is of another type, which has been trained through many generations to fly. Training begins when the birds are about three months old, and the flying distances are gradually increased to 500 miles, when the bird is held to be qualified for real work—Christian Science Monitor.

New Courses in Zoology Offered Next Quarter
The department of zoology is offering several new courses next quarter. A course in Ornithology will be given under Dr. C. E. Johnston.

It will comprise a large amount of Field work.
A course in Behavior of Invertebrates is offered, which will be given by Miss Nadine Nowlin. This is open to freshmen and sophomores who have had Elementary Zoology.
Doctor Johnston came to the University of Kansas at the beginning of the second quarter from the University of Minnesota, where he had been in the department of zoology for ten years.
W. A. A. Opens Contest
To Name Annual Dance
The Women's Athletic Association has set the date for its annual dance on May 11. No other plans concerning the party have been announced by the board except that a contest, which is a new feature, will be held, the purpose of which is to obtain a unique name for the dance which can be used to designate not only this but every annual W. A. A. dance. The contest will begin Friday morning at 8 o'clock and close the following Tuesday at 4 P.M. Both men and women may compete and the one who turns in the best name will receive a free ticket to the dance.
Contestants should write the suggested name and their own name and telephone number on a slip of paper and place it either in the box on the bookstand in Fraser Hall or in the box placed at the door of the women's gymnasium. The winner will be announced March 12.

EXTRA PROGRAMS AT THE
Due to a larger attendance than the management had contemplated, the supply programs for the Third Annual

were entirely exhausted, leaving many couples without programs. To accommodate these people—who may desire such programs for their "K" books and other uses, we have had extra programs printed for those who did not receive them at the party Friday night.
We are very sorry that a sufficient supply of programs was not to be had during the party, but trust that the arrangement to supply extra programs at this late date will prove to be a partial compromise.
