Kansas Closes Season With Nebraska Team At Robinson Thursday
Standing of Teams in Valley Race Depends on Games Wednesday and Thursday
The Varsity basketball team is busy preparing for the last Valley basket-ball series of the season with Coach Stewart's Nebraska Cornhuskers, to be played in the gymnasium Wednesdays and Thursday. Although the quintet played poor basketball against the Aggies last week, their work has been so erratic all season that they may show a reversal of form against the Huskers and give them a real battle.
Although the outcome of the series will mean little in the final standing of the Kansas team in the Valley race, it may have a great deal of significance in naming the Valley champions. The Aggies now hold the lead with a clean slate in the Conference and they are the favorites to finish first. If Kansas wins one game from the Huskers, the Valley championship will be practically certain to go to the Argies, but if Nebraska wins both games here, they will still have a chance. On the other hand, should KU. make a clean sweep in the series, Nebraska will be eliminated.
The Huskers have lost only two games and are in second place in the Valley standing. They have been travelling at a fast pace recently and won two games from the Missouri Tigers on the small court at Lincoln two weeks ago. Their team, composed of three veterans and a pair of new men, is undoubtedly one of the strongest in the race and is doped to win both games from Kansas. Captain Jackson at forward is one of the best scorers in the Valley and Gillian at the other forward is an excellent goal shooter. Schellenberg, Husker football star, has been playing center and the guards are classy, as was shown when they held the fast Tigers to low scores in both games at Lincoln.

Coach Hamilton will probably use the same lineup against the Huskers that has started the last five Valley games, with Bunn and either Bennett or Miller at forwards, Matthews at center and Lonborg and Mason at the guard positions.
Journalism Jazz Junk May Make Maid Mad
"This Mardi Gras affair must have been some big success from the looks of things. Jest look here confetti strewed everywhere, along side of peanut hulls, sand bags, torn paper, old tubs and mud," said one of the maids in Robinson Gym Monday morning when she entered the main rooms that had served as the scene of the Saturday night carnival.
"Then there yongums over to Journalism are go to have some kind of a doin's on Friday night. I'm boping they don't bring in as much of my money they do today. Kidnapped kids did. If they can just clean the pickins' up.
"Wheres all the help around here? This certainly looks like them girls who were fussin' around here the other morning tearin up things in general, was a comin back to help pick up. Thirty or more of them high class college girls promised me they'd be here to remove this air junk.
"You here, its about time, I thought some of you girls would be turnin up the last minute when the works about did," said the maid to a modest little Freshman who at that moment entered the room."
"Why what's the matter, you surely aren't fretting about the good time we had Saturday night, are you?" said the care-free freshman.
"No it is not jist that?" said the weary worker, "but I want you to be warnin' any one who makes as much a clutter again that they won't get it cleaned up. You had better run over and warm them Journalism folks to not bring any sech trash with them."

Intra-Mural Finals
To Be Played Tonight
Gamma Phi Beta and Achoth Are To Play the Final Match
Final Match
The semi-finals in the intra-mural tournament in Robinson Gymnasium Monday night were no exception to the former games in the fact that all previous dope on the games was upset by the outcome.
The Achoh team last night defeated the fast Alpha Xi team, which Friday had won a victory over the Kappa Phi, reputed to be about the strongest team in the race. The score was 5 to 3. The game won the game from Theta 26 to 8.
In the Alpha Xi-Achoth game no score had been made by either team at the end of the first third, and at the end of the second third the score stood 3 to 0 in favor of the Achothets. When they scored, the game was a 3 to 3 tie. In the next minute Mary Olsen made a field goal and won the game for the Achothets.
Ruth Trant, although she had received a badly sprained ankle in the first third of the game, played a fast game at center, and Catherine Oder kept the Achoh forwards to few goals by her exhaustive covering of the guard field for the Alpha Xis.
Mary Olsen, at forward, and Grace Olsen, at center, played an excellent game for the Achoths. Romona Hood at guard position did fine work in intercepting passes.
The two Gamma Phi forwards, Earline Allen and Jeannette Parkinson, played a star game for their team. Allen threw five field goals in the last third and Parkinson made four field goals. The Thetas made no score in the first third, but tied the score with the Gamma Phi, 6 to 6, in the second third. Fay Dodderidge at center covered the entire field for the Thetas and threw one spectacular from the center of the court. Ruth Runney forward, making six of the Thetas eight points. Helen Wagstaff excelled in her guard position. The Thetas out up a good fight and played a good
clean game, not making a single foul. The final match of the tournament will be played tonight at 7:15 between the Gamma Phi Betas and the Achoths.
Value of Chemistry in Oil And Gas Work is Theme Of Prof. Allen's Article
In Oil and Gas News He Says Chemistry Supplements
Geology
"Chemical Possibilities of Oil and Gas Development," is the title of an article by H. C. Allen, associate professor of chemistry, in the current issues of The Oil and Gas News, published in Kansas City, Mo.
Professor Allen deals with the economical development, of the mid-continent field, and some of the possibility of using it as a tool in the use of a chemical survey, in this field.
Editorially commenting on the article, the News says:
"Ordinarily the operator in the oil field possesses little or no knowledge of chemistry, though he might plead guilty to knowing something of geology. When it is considered that even the refinery branch of the oil industry in numerous instances fails to avail itself of the knowledge of the chemist—a knowledge that assuredly can be measured in terms of money—it is not surprising that the men who drill for and produce the oil have given no thought to the possibility that chemistry may be a substantial aid in locating the pay sands. For the idea of employing the science of chemistry in the latter connection is something of an innovation.
"However, the practical knowledge of oil fields work possessed by Professor Allen lends interest and weight to his observations concerning the employment of chemistry as a means of lessening the hardships of working in the oil industry by substituting the science of chemistry for the science of geology. Instead he points out the ways in which the interpretation of accurate data obtained

from a chemical survey may prove an important additional means of drilling operations along lines best calculated to avoid bringing in "dusters."
If there be persons who are quick to assume that the induction of chemical surveys into the field work of the oil industry is merely an example of the desire of the scientist to develop another pasture in which to exercise impractical theories, it may be stated that some of the largest and most progressive companies are now employing chemists with distinct profit in connection with their drilling activities. While the proposition is new to most oil men, the value of chemical determinations and their correct interpretations has been, and is being demonstrated.
"As a statement of one of the possible ways in which science may come to the aid of industry, the article by Professor Allen is recommended for providing guidance and reduce guess-work to the lowest possible minimum in drilling for oil."
"The cost of drilling a dry hole will pay for very extensive chemical surveys and interpretation of the data obtained; and, as Professor Allen points out, the trace of oil or gas that may be found in such a commercially unprofitable well can be the basis for a chemical determination that will locate the next well where the pay sands lies. This is but one of the several ways he suggests whereby chemistry may be a substantial aid in reducing the cost of developing an oil or gas field.
