Real Basketball Work Will Start in January, Says Coach Hamilton
S. A. T. C. Duties Keep Men From Turning Out This Quarter
Coaches Meet Next Week
Lonborg, On Five Last Year,
Will Be on Hill Second
Quarter
The Kansas basketball five have been working under difficulties this season because of the interference of S. A. T. C. work with practices and the use of the floor for company dances. The men in the army were unable to get out for practice last night as they had a formation at the practice hour. Most of the players are in the naval section. The sailors will be unable to turn out Wednesday as they will take their physical examinations for releases at that time.
Coach Hamilton says no real practices can be held until after the holidays, and the men will start in to do some real work after the first turnout. The men will be held by their companies most of the time next week and will be receiving their discharges so practice next week will be irregular and a full turnout impossible. Bunn's work as a sergeant in the naval section has kept the star out of the practices so far.
Lonborg will be in school next quarter and will be out for the five. Lonborg played in part of the games last season and will make a valuable addition to the squad next quarter. Bunn will be out regular after the holidays and Matthews has been out for all of the practices this season. Slonaker is on the sick list but expects to be ready for work by the first of the year. Turner and Gross are doing well. Dotson, the Newton star, may leave the University at the end of the quarter.
Coach Hamilton will work the men and give them team play next quarter. The coach expects a good number to turn out and says he has the material to develop a winning team this season. W. O. Hamilton expects a meeting of the Missouri Valley coaches to be called at Kansas City Friday or Saturday of this week. The conference schedules will be arranged at that time and the decision will be given to whether freshmen will be eligible for athletics for the rest of the year.
Dramatic Club to Play
For S.A.T.C. This Week
An entertainment each night this week, illustrated lectures through the day by instructors from all departments, with sightseeing trips through the various buildings are parts of the plans being made today by Prof. A.C. Terrill, in charge of entertaining the S.A.T.C. men who are not attending classes.
ing classes.
The first lectures of the series was delivered in Fraser Chapel this morning by Prof. F. B. Daina on "Trenches and Trench Warfare." The lecture was illustrated by sixty slides sent out by the Bureau of Public Information. Five hundred fifty men from both sections of the S. A. T. C. attended the lecture.
telled the teacher Professor Dains will deliver the following lectures the remainder of the week: Tuesday, "Aeroplanes and
How They Are Made," Wednesday,
"Flying for American," Thursday,
"The American Navy," Friday
"Building a Bridge with Shops."
"The Engineer in War and Peace," was the title of the lecture given this afternoon in Fraser Chapel by Prof. C. C. Williams. Men from both the vocational and academic sections attended. Other members of the engineering faculty will deliver lectures this week.
Prof. Erasmus Haworth will begin a series of lectures early this week on "Why Study Geology?" Professor Haworth was to lecture this morning, but the government slide lecture took his place on the schedule.
The lectures on liquid fire begin by Prof. H. P. Cady early last week will be resumed as soon as necessary repair on the liquid air machine can be made. Professor Terrill expects the series to commence early this week. The lectures will be given in the chemistry building auditorium.
Two plays by the Dramatic Club will be given Wednesday night, and on the other nights illustrated lectures and pictures will be on the program. The Dramatic Club plays will be "A Proposal Under Difficulties" and "Suppressed Desires."
Sight-seeing trips to interesting places about the University will be conducted throughout the week by faculty members. A special trip through the Museum for the officers will be conducted by Prof. W. J. Baumgardner some time this week. The seismograph and the psychological laboratories will be other places to be visited.
Mental Ability Depends On Diet of Student $ ^{t} $
Professor Terrill has not yet completed his plans for the week, but is endeavoring to secure enough lectures so that every man will have an opportunity to hear at least one lecture a day. Frank Parker, secretary to the Y. M. C. A. is assisting Professor Terrill in making out his schedule.
Interesting Experiment Conducted at Pennsylvania Normal by Hygiene Teacher
An experiment on the relation of diet to the tiger and mental ability of students was reported at the Conference on Social Education, according to Dr. Florence Sherbon who attended the conference in New York, November 25 to 31.
Dr. Tracy of the Pennsylvania Normal who is teaching hygiene in that institution had her pupils keep a record of everything they ate in a day, including candy and other food eaten between meals. While these figures were being recorded, according to the number of calories depicted, Dr. Tracy examined them as physically and then as to vigor as fair, poor and good. Then she went to the school records and she took the grades of the pupils.
When the records were fitted together it was shown that the girls who ate less than sixteen hundred calories a day were in the poorest physical condition, were below in vigor and had the lowest grades, and those who ate between 1600 and 2200 were in the best condition and had he highest grades.
Milk is one of the greatest foods because of its high calorie value and the ease with which it is digested. Leafy vegetables are of great value and the daily diet is not complete without one or more of these vegetables.
"Mail is the staff of life," say the men in the army. This may be an exaggerated statement in regard to the S. A. T. C. at Lawrence, but it remains an undisputed fact that there are moments in every man's life when the question, "Have I any mail?" is all-important.
Keep Mail Sack Full— Plead Army and Navy
When morning classes are over and a fellow hurries off the Hill to his barracks, he doesn't stop until he has reached the pigeon hole which should hold his mail. Perhaps it is Monday, and the day before he has written half a dozen letter to the folks, his girl, and the gang back home. It would certainly be nice to hear from some of them today. He knows that Mother and the girl always write on Sunday so he ought to have two letters anyway. But the pigeon hole looks disappointingly empty.
There are two letters in his box and he takes them down hopefully, but they belong to another fellow whose initials are the same as his and who was transferred to one of the other barracks a week ago but whose mail is still sent to his former building.
It is pretty hard on the man who finds no mail of his own. His only comfort is that all of the other men are in the same predicament. The man in charge of quarters, whose duty it is to go down to barracks No. 1 for the mail, has not gone. Perhaps he will go sometime during the afternoon, and perhaps he may not. There is nothing to do but wait and see. In the mean time "the staff of life" is wanting.
