Basket Ball as Played In K.U. 20 Years Ago
And Jockey Club Managed "Delightful Party" in Fraser Hall
The following accounts of *r.* a basketball ball game and social function, dated back to the spring of 1899, were found recently in a collection of extracts from the Weekly Kansan which was published in those days, belonging to Dr. James Naismith, former head of the department of physical education., who is now engaged in Y. M. C. A. work overcame. Said the item:
"In a game featured by lively playing on both sides K. U. was defeated by the Y. M. C. A. of Kansas City, Mo., 10 to 5. The chief characteristic in the opposing team's playing was that whenever anyone of them got the ball, they threw for a goal. K. U. undoubtedly played a more scientific game but our basket throwing was nothing phenomenal. Sutton made one of the most senational plays of the game at the start of the second half. The ball was thrown to him and he rolled it for three yards. He was viciously beset by two Y. M. C. A. men and bending backward he threw the ball fully ten yards for a goal. The cheering was lod at this good play.
"The subscription party given Friday evening in Fraser was one of the most delightful social events of the week. The Eldridge House entrance was used again. The floor was unusual good and the music furnished by Sommers was excellent. Refreshments were served during the latter part of the evening from the stage. The party was given under the management of the K. U. Jockey Club. There were about sixty Jockey Club. There were about sixty is a great success.

Fowler Shops Making Astronomical Apparatus
An interesting piece of apparatus is being made at the Powler Shops for the Department of Astronomy. This apparatus allows astronomers to descriptive astronomy
ing points in descriptive clearer to the students than is possible to do without it. There is only one piece of apparatus in the United States similar to the one being constructed here, and that is at the University of California. It has been said that the students where this apparatus was first used, remembered the main points of beginning astronomy better than before it was used.
The apparatus consists of an axis made of a half-inch steel rod five feet in length. Around this rod as the axis is constructed several circles three feet in diameter made of three-inch steel rods. These circles represent the circles which are necessary for the students to learn and their connection with each other. In the center of the circles will be placed a globe to show the connection between the earth and the circles represented. The apparatus when completed will weigh about fifty pounds and will be finished so that it may be next quarter.

1862. Kansas has the edge on the Tigers in the weight events, and probably also has a shade the better of the Aggies, because of the fact that Marshall Haddock was one of the best weight men in the Valley last year and is back in his old form. Missouri has no old man back in the weight events. For the first time in many years, Kansas is weak in the high jump. Coach Hamilton expected Dick Treweke, star high and broad jumper two years ago, to return to school in time for track but he has not heard from the athlete. Bradley, freshman star last year, also failed to return and Ralph Rodkey has been doing the best work in the high jump. He has been doing about 5 feet 8 inches in practice. Works of the Aggies is a veteran in the high jump and Marshall of the Tigers is also a good man both in the high jump and the pole vault.

Compllying with this request the men voted that any military uniform should be considered as a full dress, to reduce the price to $4 a couple, to have no cabs or flowers, and to wear on pre-production. The women generally tend to wear no flowers, and to wear street wraps instead of evening cloaks.

Every team in the Valley is well fortified in the sprints. K. U. has Haddock for the 100 and 220-yard dashes, while the Aggies have a speedy pair in Neeley and Evans. Missouri's fastest man is Sylvester. Probably the stifter competition in the Valley will be in the quarter mile, in which Captain Dorman O'Leary excels. O'Leary's time, 50-1.5 seconds, makes him entitled to first place on the dope sheet, but Neeley of the Argies ran the quarter in 51 4-5 in the high school meet here two years ago and may be able to do better now. Farlow of Missouri is also an excellent quarter miler. He made the 440 yards in 52 2-5 seconds in the Western Conference meet at Chicago in 1987. Mattingly and Edwards are other Tiger veterans in the quarter. Kansas has Ralph Rodkey and Meric Clift to assist O'Leary. Cliff showed real promise last year, both in the 220-yard dash and the quarter, and may surprise track followers in these events. Kansas is lacking a good half-miler and Missouri has no exhalf for K. U. In the mile, the Jay-
hawkers have a good chance to clean up in the Valley with Dewall back. He has covered the distance in less than 4 minutes and 50 seconds and there are few experienced millers in Aggies is a veteran two miler with the Valley this year. Foreman of the Aggies is a veteran miler with a good record, and Oglievie and Hanna will probably run for Kansas.
