Kansas Basket Ball Squad Has Three Old Men Out For Practice
Miller, a Star at Forward Last Year, Returned This Week
With the Ames series only two weeks off, the K. U. basketball team is gradually rounding into form. The return of Howard Miller, one of last season's forwards, has increased the prospects of a winning team. Beginning today, Coach W. O. Hamilton will give the men chalk-talks so that the men will not lose any possible time learning the signals. This calls for a Varsity practice at 7 o'clock, with the freshmen turning out at 7:30 o'clock.
7:56 o'clock
Miller's return gives the team three old men, Matthews and Bunn being the others. Bennett and Harms are the only last year's freshmen in school, but several other men have turned out to try for a place on the squad.
In the practice Thursday night, Bennett and Mason worked at the guard positions, Matthews at center, and Dunn and Harms at forwards, Miller, Marxen, Lashley, Desmond, and Fredericks made up the second line-up against the freshmen. Both games resulted in victory for the Varsity, although a 20-point handicap had to be overcome.

Jimmy Lighbody, a former University of Chicago track star, at one time attempted to make an athlete out of the "Clown" Prince, according to the Daily Illini. After Lightbody was graduated from the University of Chicago, he took post graduate work at the University of Berlin. His athletic prowess attracted the attention of the Imperial family and Lightbody had the Crown Prince and other sons of the former kaiser in his athletic classes.

Ohio State University Meets Water Problem
The water situation on the Hill is acute. So far nothing has been done to relieve the condition. Ohio State University meets the situation in this way:
The value of providing pure water to the students of Ohio State and the inhabitants of Columbus is estimated to be the saving of 119 deaths each
Prof. Charles W. Foulk of the department of chemistry of Ohio State considers the money value of pure water provided by Columbus in improving the health of the community is $1,188,000.
In an address before the Engineer Club of Columbus, Professor Foulk estimated the value of human life at $5,000 and the loss to the community by one death from typhoid fever at $10,000. This figure includes doctor's fees, medicine, loss of work and other items for the ten or fifteen cases which do not end fatally for every one which results in death.
Estimating the 1918 population at 220,000 and the death rate from typhid at 54 per 100,000 Professor Foulk stated that the pure water prevented 119 deaths annually. At $10,000 each, the saving in money is $1,188,000.
L. E. Call, professor of agronomy in the Kansas State Agricultural college, has been invited to go to France to become specialist in grain crops for the army overseas educational commission.
The people of Columbus are said to save $35 per family each year, by the softening and purifying of the water.
Professor Call's duties would com prise choosing teachers among the soldiers, prescribing textbooks, and exercising general supervision over all the work in his field.

Y.W.C.A. Annual Budget For 1919 Announced: $1,800 From Students
No Membership Dues for Organization—Members Pledge According to Allowance
To raise a budget of $1,800, the annual finance campaign of the University Y. W. C. A. will be carried on from January 14 to January 21. This is the only call for money made by the Association this year. The membership campaign held in November was only for signatures as members. There are no prescribed membership dues, and all money is pledged during the finance campaign
"We have $75 already, gifts from last year's seniors," said Ruth Guild, chairman of the finance committee. "There are 600 members now, and they will be canvassed during the campaign week by twenty-five teams of workers. All members are urged to pledge leave one month of years until election. But that does not mean that other persons on the Hill are not allowed to contribute. All who are interested may do so."
The budget of the Association for 1919 is as follows: For foreign secretaries, $150; for Y. W. C. A. headquarters, $100; for salary of general secretary, $1,000; for committee expenses, $175; for miscellaneous $200;
for rent and supplies, $100; for conference expenses, $75; total $1,800. An increase of $200 in the salary or the general secretary is being made this year.
It was only because they couldn't get anyone else that Swashhem & Co. had taken on young Softleigh as a commercial traveler.
The workers on the team will meet Wednesday afternoon to plan the campaign, Dean F. J. Kelly will speak.
AND HE PROBABLY DID
All went well for a few weeks.
Then on one journey he ran short of money. After much puzzled thought he wired to his firm;
"Have run short of cash. Please write by return."
The morning brought no reply. Softleigh began to get desperate. Then, in the afternoon, he wired again; in the money, How shall I act? Were reply.
This time he had not to wait long. Within a couple of hours he received a yellow envelope. Eagerly tearing it open he read:
"Act as if you were broke."—Mineapolis Journal.
Students of Ohio State University were also among those who attended classes on New Year's Day.
