Spurt By Jayhawkers Fails to Overcome Aggie Quintet's Lead
Bennett and Bunn Throw Spectacular Goals—Lonborg Scrappy Defender
NUMBER 90
The Jayhawkers lost their secon game of the home series to the Kan s Aggies Friday night in Robinson gymnasium, 31-18. Kansas played the same type of basketball that has characterized their work on the local court all season, and were erratic in their shots and loose in their floor work. The Aggies played excellent basketball at times and their team play enabled them easily to overcome the K. U. quintet, although a spurt by the Jayhawkers a short time after the beginning of the second half brought them to with in five points of the Aggies.
The Manhattan five started the game with a rush, and field goals by Bunger and Jennings and free throws by Captain Clarke netted nine points to a single one for Kansas, made by Matthews on a free throw. Soon Matthews, who had batted at right gate in forward Frederick at center, was taken out and Bennett inserter, who made a pretty after getting into the game, but goals by Cowell and Bunger and the unerring free-throwing of Clarke kept the Aggies safely in the lead. The half ended with the count 16-8.
Kansas came back with a whirlwind offense and Bennett and Bunn had caged spectacular goals before the Cleveland team got its bearings But when the Aggies again got started, after time was called out by Captain Clarke, there was no heading them and they run away with the game and possibly the Missouri Valley-championship. Kecker, who was substituted for Bunger in the latter part of the second half, played a good game for the Aggies and scored two long shots from the field.
Captain Clark's free-throwing was one of the features of the contest, as he tossed thirteen counters in nineteen chances. The Jaymakers free-throws were off form, scoring only six single-counters on the thirteen fouls made by the Jenkins game played at Manhattan quinnings, although his goal shootout was to be compared with his work on Thursday.
Bunn was again the only member of the K. U, team who could connect with the basket, and his all-around work, both on the offense and defense, was good. Lonborg played a scrappy defense game, and prevented many Aggie scores by his close guarding. He scored just last season. Mason in the last few minutes of play and scored one field goal. Brown was substituted at center when Frederick was taken out because of personal fouls.

Jayhawker Pictures
Must Be In March 7
"The dead line for all individual pictures for the 1919 Jayhawk is Friday, March 7, and this is the dead line," said Marvin Harmos, editor of the Annual today. "There are a number of seniors, junior, and sophomores who have been slow in turning in their glosses. This is delaying the book, and so I have set the dead line on all of these pictures, and it will be final."
"The freshmen section is assured. But all freshmen who want their pictures in must turn in their name at the Jayhawk office. A large number of freshmen have agreed to this section, and it will go in the Jayhawk," said Lynn Hershey, manager of the book.

Thomas W. Gregory retiring Attorney General of the United States will accompany Wilson to Paris as general adviser and assistant at the Peace Conference. It is expected that he will advise the President and the American Peace commissioners on constitutional questions relating to the League of Nations and on many matters of law and general policy.
The Victory Loan Bill was passed by the Senate at 6:18 Sunday morning, without a record vote and in the form in which it came from the House.
Plans Are Being made at the Peace Conference for amending the League Plan. The working commissions are endeavoring to get their projects ready for consideration when President Wilson, Premier Lloyd George and Premier Orlando return to Paris. The conference may consider other amendments such as may be considered by America to remove the ambiguity of clauses that might affect the Monroe Doctrine.
A British Admiralty semi-official statement published Sunday morning confirms the previous dispatches that the German fleet will not be sunk. The French and Italians want their losses made good from Germany, and the smaller nations as Belgium, Serbia, Rumania and Jugo-Slac want the destroyers, smaller cruisers and gunboats.
Attorney-General Gregory has recommended to the President that the sentences of the persons under conviction by the Espionage Act, shall have their sentences commuted. Officers of the Department of Justice who have received the cases say that the law is too circumstantial to warrant the carrying out of the full sentence.
Forty Per Cent of the total known oil supply in the United States exclusive of oil shale deposits in three states, has been exhausted according to estimates transmitted by Secretary Lane to the Senate commerce committee with a resolution presented by Senator Randall of Louisiana.

Junior Prom Informal This Year, Managers Say
But Music, Decorations, and Sup per Will Be Present, if Dress Suits Are Not
The Junior Prom, April 18, will not be a formal party this spring according to "Chuck" Shofstall and Loren Simon who are managing the dance. The party will start at 7:30 and close at 1 o'clock with a big meal at 10:30. "By having the party informal we can do away with a lot of the things which go to make expenses but do not make the party better. We expect two hundred or more paid admissions and will put all of the money into decorations, music and refreshments" said Shofstall this morning. The music has not been contracted for yet but the managers expect to do so, "we play for the dancing and another good orchestra to play while the refreshments are being served. The party will be the big party of the year and the decorations will be exceptional" in accordance to Shofstall.
"The jazz is dying out... east according to several men." New York I have spoken to it a few days. The old style of dance is coming in there anew, I take a year for it to come west but we will beat them to it on the Prom this year. Our music will be the best and just enough jazz to make it popular with pop culture. The price has been fixed at $4.00 we can give the students a real party," said Sbofstall.
The committees for the Prom were announced this morning. Joe Schwartz, Marshall Haddock, and Doris Drought will have charge of the decorations. Jessie Wyatt and Harold Hoover will have charge of the programs. The refreshment committee will work with Murphy and Merce Clift. Edgar Hollis will act as media manager for the Prom.

The Men's Student Council in a meeting Sunday proposed a new plan for representing the students in the Committee of Student Interests. The plan to be brought before the Senate is to have a committee of ten members of the Senate elected by the Senate and to have three members from each of the governing bodies at large. The members elected at large will automatically become members of their respective governing body.

Eugene Graham, Phi Delta Theta,
borrowed a book from the journalism
library some time in the spring of
1918. It was a nice book, and some
one just simply walked off with it,
or else it walked off all by itself,
he told the librarian a few months later,
when she called him up asking him
to please return the volume. It was
lost, he said, and there was no hope
of his ever finding it again. The
librarian kept him reminded of the
book all through the first quarter this
year, and then gave up in despair.
The librarian went back and dread-
drew in at the office with the very book.
In the Phi Delt fire, the book was
rescued and he collected it from the
pile of salvage. The question before
us is, gentleman, what kind of house-
keepers are the Phi Delt's?
The Sigma Kappas were in want of a place to have their party Friday night as the storm made it impossible to use the Country Club as the party had been planned. Margaret called the Kappa Sigma fraternity and asked to rent the fraternity house for the evening. The Kappa Sigs cannot hold舞es because of the recent action taken against them by the disciplinary committee. The men say, "It is bad enough not to be allowed to dance bu we sure consider it as rubbing it in to have some one ask for the use of our house and make us remain upstairs while the jazz goes on below."

"Oh, Shoot," Is Selected As Senior Class Play; Prize Goes To Patton
Campus Characters Delineated in Play—Is Travesty on College Life
"Oh, Shoot," is the name of the Senior play for 1919 and the author is Edwin Patton, a sophomore in the School of Medicine, according to the senior play committee, which awarded today the fifty dollar prize given for the best original play submitted.
Before coming to the University, Patton attended the University of Colorado. While there he was active in journalism work, being on the board of the University paper. He was also president of the Dramatic Club, and engaged in various musical activities.
Since entering K. U., Patton has taken an important part in dramatics. He was in the senior play, "Fifty-fifty," last year. Before coming down with the Spanish Influenza last fall, he had played for the strong men on the football squad.
"The play is really a college travesty," said Patton this morning, "but it might be called a satirical comedy. The setting is the one most often used for senior plays, that of the University itself. When writing it, I tried to keep in mind for each part some certain person who is now in school. Perhaps that will add to the interest slightly."
Patton will go to Rosedale at the end of the quarter to finish his work in medicine, but expects to visit the scene of preparation often to aid in coaching. He is a member of Beta Theta Pi and Nu Sigma Nu.
