UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN VOLUME XVI. K.U. Basket Ball Men In Fine Trim For Game With Missouri Tonight Tigers Enter Contests Here With Perfect Score in Valley Schedule Quigley Will Be Umpire Jayhawkers Have Developed Fast Passing and Accurate Goal Work PROBABLE LINEUP FOR TONIGHT Kansas Missouri Bunn. L.F. Ruby (c) Lonborg R.F. Scott Matthews (c) C. Vorgt Mason L.G. Browning Bennett R.G. Schroeder The Jayhawker basketball team is ready for the opening of the Missouri Valley season in Robinson Gymnasium tonight at 7:30, when the Missouri Tigers, undefeated, invade Lawrence for the first game of a two-game series. The Kansas quintet rested Thursday night and every man on the squad is in good condition for the Missouri games. The Jayhawkers are making no promises as to the outcome of the contests, except that they are going to fight hard to win both games. MISSOURI HAS PERFECT SCORE NUMBER 69 MISSOURI HAS PERFECT SCORE Missouri comes here with a perfect record, having won four Valley games and lost none. The Tigers scored the Ames five in a pair of games on the Columbia court, week before Kansas played the Iowans at Atmos. Missouri had a margin of about ten points in each of the Ames games. A latter, they won two games from Coach Rutherford's Washington University Pikers with ease and last week they played a practice game with Westminster College and won by uplining more than sixty points. KANSAS IN GOOD FORM Craig Ruby is the individual star of the Missouri team because of his steadiness and excellent floor work, although both Scott, the other forward, and Vogt, center, are good goal shooters. Browning and Schroeder have had basket and point appearances at Missouri but have not had as much experience of the other members of Browning's regular position is forward, but he was shifted to guard this year. Coffey is the extra guard on the Tiger squad. Word comes from Columbia that Coach Miller believes he has one of the best teams turned out in Missouri in years, but if Kansas plays true to form, the Tigers are going to strike opposition tonight such as they have never met with before this season. With the Jayhawks playing passing and accurate and shooting games played when they game Ames under fifty points last week, Missouri will have a real battle on her hands tonight. The promise that Ernst Quigley, National League baseball empire and dean of basketball referees in the Missouri Valley, will officiate, makes it certain that the game will be fast and clean, as Quigley has a reputation of being one of the best officials in the west. Quigley is now coaching St. Louis University athletic teams.

Iphigenia Revives Art of Ancient Dramatist Greek Play Being Placed on Business Basis By Modern Ticket Sellers Tickets for the Iphigenia by Euripides, which will be presented in Fraser Hall the night of February 6, were put on sale this morning at the business office in Fraser Hall and at McCullough's Drug Store down town. The Greek drama will be presented to the students of the University and the people of Lawrence by Misa Doree. The movie will feature aress who is making a tour of the United States before her return to England. Miss Hearty Brown, is in charge of the sale of the tickets and has a large committee of student salesmen working under her direction. The play is being given under the direction of the Association of College Alumni. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 31, 1910. "The practical purpose of having the play produced at the University is to increase the fund for the scholarship which the association offers every year to the University students," said Mrs. P. B. Dains, president of the association, "but the most important is that it is the students of the university an opportunity to see Miss Spinney in the production." Miss Spinney will be the guest of miss Margaret Lymn, during her visit la Lawrence. Miss Spinney is ac ticipant in a celebration of Miss Alice Michaelia, of Australia. "For real appreciation of the Curipides, one turns with relief to Suripides, one turns with relief to ier character drawing is her treatment of the impersonal chorus with its delicate suggestion of rythmic notion. It has the simplicity of ruth." Miss Spinney has won a national reputation in her short stay in America. In the "Nation," the following drama of the ancient drama is published: The Presbyterian University Sunday School will entertain its members and friends at Westminster Hall This summer the program of games and refreshments. The Graduate Club will meet for the Jayhawk picture at Squires' studio Monday February 3, at 12:30. Announcements Women's Glee Club will hold its regular rehearsal tonight at 7:15 o'clock in Fraser Hall Chapel. Snow Zoology Club will meet this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in Room 304, Snow Hall. Miss Mary Larson will talk on "The Effect of the Removal of the Thyroid Glands upon the Pituitary Glands." The discussion will be based upon the results of research work done by Miss Larson. W. B.

Wood to succeed Prof. Hornet Talbot as secretary of the Bureau of Municipal Reference and Research at the University was announced today by H. G. Ingham, acting director of the Extension Office. Professor Wood will begin his work here February 1. He comes from the University of Texas where he has held the same position. In addition to his work at the University Professor Wood will be secretary of the League of Kansas Municipalities. Basket Ball Matches For Women's Classes Begin Wednesday Night Preliminary Games Between Sophs and Frost, and Seniors and Juniors The first round of the Fourth Annual Inter-Class Basket Ball Tournament for women, will be played in Robinson Gymnasium next Wednesday night at 7 o'clock. The freshmen meet the sophomores, and juniors the seniors. The line-ups have not been chosen and will probably be announced before the game. The teams have been practising every day for over two weeks, and it is reported that the juniors have been showing up exceptionally well. "The games should be very inter-tering," said Miss Hazel Pratt, basket ball coach, "as the women have been playing exceptionally well in practices. This is only the first round, however. The second round will be February 7, when the sophomores play the seniors, and the freshman play the juniors. The finals will be February 13, when the sophomores will meet the juniors, and the freshmen will meet the seniors." There is a new cup up this year, as here is the year, given by the Athlete. Miss Ruth Endacott, c18, and now an instructor in the physiology department, will act as referee. She played guard on the winning team each year the last four years, but the tournament has been on for the last three years only. The team she has played on was never defeated. The admission to the games is a W A.A. ticket or twenty-five cents. It is not open to the public in general and it is not permitted by the invitation of a W A.A. woman. Kills Bill to Make Greeks Pay for Fire Protection Lower House Puts Skids Under Another Measure by Elmer E. Brown The bill was not for K. U. fraternities alone, but applied to all such organizations in the state. A bill to charge fraternities and sororites for runs made by the fire department to fraternity houses has been defeated in the House of Representatives of the Kansas Legislature. It was introduced by Elmer E. Brown of Douglas County, author of the bill to tax fraternity property, which was killed in the House Tuesday. The bill provided that claims for fire protection would stand as allies against property of fraternities. In a speech by Representative Carvin of Stafford County, as quoted by the Topeka State Journal, we find the following assertion, "If Lawrence can't figure to meet some of these expenses as a result of the benefits which the State University brings the town, I know Stafford County will be mighty glad to build the sorority and fraternity houses, give them to the boys and girls, and maintain the buildings free from taxation or expense for fire protection if you will send the University to our county." Offered Summer Position Prof. H. B. Hungerford of the department, Entomology has been offered a summer field station in the Biological Field Station of the University of Michigan. Professor Hungerford was unable to accept this position because he had arranged to teach in summer school here next summer. Sour Owl Will Appear First Week in March Magazine Wants Contributions From Entire Student The Sour Owl, humor magazine published by the Owls, the junior honor society, will be put out in the first week in March, according to information given the Kansan today. The det dat, it was said, has not been set. This will be the first issue of the Sour Owl this year. Absence of members of the society in military service prevented issuing it the first quarter. The Owl in former years has put out several times during the year. "Contributions to the Sour Owl will be open to the entire University," Luther Hangen, editor of the publication, said today. "We want to urge students to write for the magazine, and expect that a large amount of snappy material will be turned in by persons outside the society. Arrangements will be made for a place to turn in all copy. "What we want chiefly is original jokes, the short, peppy, conversational type. Many of these jokes can be illustrated by cartoons. A few moderately long humorous or satirical articles will be accepted but such articles are best suited if limited to a paragraph or two. "Illustrations for the cover will be considered, and the best picked out and used. They must be attractive and useful in a page of about seven by nine inches. "All contributors to the Sour Owl, whether of jokes, cartoons, long articles, or cover illustrations, who have their material accepted, will be placed on the contributing staff of the magazine. Their names will appear on this stuff rather than with separate jokes and articles." The board of managers of the Sour Owl is as follows: Editor, Luther Hangen; business manager, Glen Banker; assistant editor, Floyd Harms; associate editor, Floyd Hockenhull; advertising manager, Basil Church; art editor, Froed Leach. Snapshot Editors Want Donations for Jayhawker Another call for snapshots for the 1919 Jayhawker has been issued by the book, Mr. Hopfer, snapshot editor of the book, Mr. Hopfer said, "I would like to get some good individual pictures of students, athletic pictures, and snappy unusual pictures. I have a good number of S. A. T. picture books that I'm going to write before Christmas. That is why I need pictures of the school activities that have been going on since the now semester." Class and Organization Pictures Should Be Turned In as Soon as Possible The mail box just outside the door of the Jayhawk office will accept all contributions in the way of snaps for the 1919 Jayhawk. Because of the large number of pages that the S. A. T. C. section will take, the space for class pictures has been limited. Luther Hangen is editor of the Junior section, and Roland Hill has charge of the sophomore section. Letters are being sent out to the students in these classes, and it is urged that they make dates for sitings at once so that the glasses can be in the hands of the editors by February 15, which is the deadline for all Jayahawk pictures, whether snapshots, organization groups, senior, junior, or sophomore pictures. Harley Scott, editor of the S. A. T. C. section said, "It is absolutely necessary that all write-ups on the different companies be in to me not later than February 3, as the S. A. T. C. section is about ready for the engravers and printers. We cannot hold this section any longer, so all material that is not in by February 3, will not be used." The Freshwater University Sunday School will entertain its members and friends Friday evening at Westminster, the program of games and refreshments. Dance Prices not Fixed Yet Nothing definite has been decided about fixing the price of admission to the Junior Prom Soph Hop, Law Scrim or Beauty Ball by the University memorial hall. "But action will probably be taken by the University senate at the next meeting on February 4. All University Party Not Given This Year "The All-University party which is usually held on Washington's birthday will not be given this year." Miss Corbin said this morning. The adviser of women and repre sentatives of both men's and women's councils had begun to make plans for the party. Ray Hemphill had been made general manager and the necessary committees had been appointed. It appeared later that the party had to be given up on account of lack of funds in the University. "The custom of the All-University Colonial party will undoubtedly be continued next year," said Miss Corbin. Plain Tales From the Hill LAWS BECOME BEAUTY CRITICS The Senior Laws, looking over the women of the University from their observatory at Green Hall say that the women are becoming inferior in appearance, so maybe so, but the senior woman who have also been here four year speak thusly about the senior laws. "In the years past women were known to go blocks out of the way merely to go past the law school, where they could gaze on the gratifying spectacle of the law students Now they never think about looking up when they are forced to pass by. "Women do have a more worries look this year than ever before. Time was when the law students took the responsibility for the school affairs. Now they pass resolutions that any teacher who does not naturally maneuver naturally have to take the responsibility and thus have less time to spend on their looks." "Laws? Oh they're the scum of the earth." "Insignificant." There are two sides to every question. "Low creatures, morally, mentall and physically." Ray Bennett and Heinie Olschinger came over to the library last night and posted themselves at the stacks in the back of the library. Evidently they couldn't find what they were looking for. They took down one book, looked all the way through it hastily, scowled and took down another. They must have met at the location before they last located what they were looking for—two girls seated at the far end of the library—and left. "Look up all you can about Euri nides." These instructions and nothing more were given to an innocent looking freshman the other day. He immediately went pouring over the files at Snow library to find out what kind of a biological specimen the Euripides was. WE ARE SO GLAD YOU ENJOYED YOUR "I enjoyed myself so much." Gentlemen! when you haven't anything else to do, sit down and count up how many times you have said this in the last week on the calls you have made. If you want to relieve the monotony, think up something new. "I really enjoyed you much more than I enjoyed myself." "I'll never forget those eyes." "I've had a delicious time." "The quality of your dancing is superb." Or be absolutely frank and say, "It would have cost me a dollar if I had stayed away, but now that I have been well paid it would have been worth the price." It is F. Ellis Johnson, if you mean the professor at the Engineering school. Professor Johnson sent word over to the 'Kansan office to please not refer to him as F. E. Johnson hereafter. If we didn't know the circumstances we might think that he was overly particular about his name. However, Professor Johnson was once funked out of school for receiving a dose of beer and a case of whisky addressed to some F. E. Johnson that he knows nothing about. No wonder he clings to the name Ellis. The girls at the door said that there was no such place around but she imisted that someone had directed her to the Fire-side house to see Mrs. Thompson the cook. Then the Mu Phis fell. Mrs. Thompson is the Pbi Pai cook. SOUNDS LIKE AN OLD LADIES HOME The Mu Phi were startled the other afternoon by having an old negro dinner with a chef. "Is this here the Fire-side home?" Right of Free Speech Reaffirmed in Meeting Of the Woman's Forum Organization Resents Criticism of Its Constitutional Policy Speakers to Express Idea Clash of Opinion Necessary to Development of Broad-mindedness "The Woman's Forum is for free speech and argument," said France Hitchock, president of the Forum, in speaking today of the resolutions adopted unanimously by that organization yesterday. "It is the policy of speakers on both sides of a question; otherwise it is not open minded." "It is one of Roosevelt's own prin- ciples of free speech, and Roosevelt: would have been one of the first to ac- cuse the same manner as we have in this natter," is the opinion of Mable Mac- kinten, secretary of the organization. The resolutions are: Wheres: The Constitution of the United States forbids emphatically any abridgement of the freedom of speech, and Whereas: The Women's Forum of the University of Kansas requires for its useful development this fundamental guarantee by the Constitution, and Whereas, Efforts have been made recently by certain persons in this city to punish without reason the ex-convict. But it is the right by the Forum, therefore, he it Resolved: That the Women's Forum of the University of Kansas emphatically reaffirms its adherence to this constitutional and academic right of freedom of speech and re-expression, an unpatriotic or sinister attempt to abridge the same, and be it further Resolved: That a copy of this same Resolved: That a copy of this same resolution be sent to the State Board of Administration and to the Governor of the State of Kansas. Signed: Frances Hitchock, President. Mabel MacNaughton, Secretary. Women's Forum of the University of Kansas University of Kansas, awrence, Kansas, anuary 30, 1919. Wilson Leader of Liberals Peace Conference Focus of All Reactionary and Progressive Influences "Watch the Peace Conference," was the title of Prof. D. L. Patterson's address before the Forum Thursday afternoon. "The Peace Conference is worth watching," he said. "First because it is the greatest peace conference ever held in history; secondly, it is the focus of all reactionary and liberal influences struggling for world conformation." He added that a leader so powerful and skillful as President Wilson." Professor Patterson indicated four ways in which privileged interests are trying to block the Wilson program. These were: opposition to his trip to the peace conference; opposition to 'open diplomacy'; opposition to the League of Nations; hostility toward the Russian socialistic republic. "President Wilson has made a success of the first three," said Professor Patterson, "as he predicted that the Conference would end in a victory for liberalism throughout the world. Russia has been at work for eighteen months under the Lenne constitution, and the Russian people appear to be satisfied with it. We should, therefore, aid them, and sympathize with them, rather than oppose their plans is this time." The speaker also advocated the observation, after President Wilson's return to this country, of a League of Nations Day—a world-wide event to mark this significant turning point in the world's history.
