ATHLETICS NOW SAFE
K. U. Team Prevents Abolition of Intercollegiate Sports in Debate Against Missouri
GOV. CAPPER PRESIDED
Was First Visit Since His Election
Intercollegiate athletes are now safe. Kansas won the debate.
A team consisting of Raymer McQuiston, Odis H. Burns, and Henry Shim defeaed L. M. Fischer, W.R. Roehl, and Robert N. Reservatives of the University of Missouri, on the question, Resolved: That intercollegiate athletics should be abolished in colleges and universities, Friday night in Fraser Hall. This resolution would prevent members of the Kansas team and they walked upon the rostrum with the determination to win their last forensic conflict. A decision of two to one in favor of Kansas was registered by H. M. Fischer, L. A. Halbert of the Kansas City Welfare Board, and Rabbi H. H. Mayer of Kansas City, who were the judges.
Gov. Arthur Capper showed his interest in University debating by making his first trip to the institution since his election in order to preside at this function. His presence added the greatest of the general public in the debate.
Missouri, upholding the affirmative,
attempted to prove: that intercollegiate
athletics should be abolished in
American colleges and universities.
L. M. Fischer, their first speaker
of the conference, was a strong
athletes and in all feasible forms
of athletics, but that they thought
intramural athletics should take
the place of intercollegiate athletics. He then tried to show that the interest in intramural athletics was sufficiently
intramural at the place of intercollegiate athletics.
Raymer McQuiston, the first speaker for Kansas, sought to show that the evils of intercollegiate athletics could be prevented to student management. As a remedy for these evils he proposed faculty management and then by citing the experience of many universities tried to eradicate that these evils could be eradicated.
The second speaker for the affirmative, W. R. Fuller, claimed that intercollegiate athletics by robbing the university of the other students, by hindering spontaneous intellectual activities and by giving a false impression of the nature of an education demoralized the scholarship of the university. His main speech was by far the most effective given by the affirmative.
Odis H. Burns, in offsetting the argument of Odis M. Fuller, claimed that the negative by no means admitted the contentions of the affirmative, that intramural athletics and that intramural athletics could not exist without intercollegiate athletics. To support his arguments he submitted facts and testimony gained by a questionnaire submitted to 70 American universities and collages.
GABLEMAN A TRACK MAN
BELENDA N. X. HARLEY MAN
F. Gabiake, who is a member of Missouri's track team, maintained that intercollegiate athletics robbed students in the professional schools of time for the preparation of their life work.
To this Henry Shinn replied that students in professional schools were vastly in the minority and could be forced to take part in courses if the contentions of the affirmative were true. He maintained that it would be unjust to do away entirely with intercollegiate athletics upon that ground since the men in the pro-verb class had had an opportunity to take part during their under graduate days.
REBUTTAL WAS APT
The rebuttal of both teams was ap and effective. L. M. Fischer, who delivered the final rebuttal for Missouri did the most effective refutation to his team in a desperate attempt to win. He was not able to overcome the arguments of the negative team, which without disparagement to any other Kansas team this year, was the best possible team. We have put forth. Much of the credit for the victory is due to effective coaching of Prof. H. T. Hill.
After the debate a banquet was given by Delta Sigma Rho in honor of the Governor, the judges and the visitors. Speeches were given by each of the judges in which they spoke of the need of clear reasoning and effective public speaking in the practical affairs of life.
Foster's Talk Postponed
Because the Ames baseball game lasted so long Thursday afternoon Registrar George O. Foster did not know what to do before the M. Y. M. C. A and W. Y. C. A. meeting Thursday night. It will probably be given in about two weeks

13 BABIES ADOPTED
Lawrence People Describe Kind of French Infants Desired and Pledge Their Aid
Thirteen French babies have been adopted by various persons and organizations in Lawrence as the result of the efforts of the war relief workers here. At a meeting of the Collegiate Alumni Friday afternoon, they were distributed to be filled out with a description and age of the baby desired.
NUMBER 132
Mrs. O. H. Martin, of Kansas City, in an address at the meeting, pointed out that the purpose of providing for the French children was not merely to teach them about national; that French ideals, and standards of literature and art may not be lost to the world; and that the reason for keeping the children in France is that they may be reared there to be good French citizens.
The First organization of the city to adopt a baby was the Phi Pi fraternity and now several sororities and fraternities are thinking of following that tradition. The store have combined to care for two babies. A committee was elected consisting of Miss Edith Snow, chairman; Mrs. F. B. Dains, secretary; and Robert Morrow, treasurer. They may be able by anyone desiring to adopt a baby.
An effective phase of the war relief taken up by the local workers is the selling of medals designed by French students, that the medals are the work of Lalique makes them valuable and much to be desired as souvenirs. The design comes from the intense feeling that the French orphans must be saved from being shipped to women's society, has charge of the University division of selling medals.
The cupy will be glazed in crimson and blue and will be kept on display in the club house of the Kansas alumni there. It will probably be placed on exhibition in the Museum for a few days before it is sent to the Keystone state to become the property of the loyal grads.

MISS BRYANT IN CONCERT
Former Lawrence Woman Sings in Fraser Chapel
Miss Nellie Bryant, soprano, appeared in a recital before an appreciative audience Friday afternoon in Fraser Hall chapel. The audience was not as large as it otherwise would have been because of the announcement of the postponement of the recital.
Miss Bryant has a voice that is unusually pleasing. Especially was this true in the selection Aria from "Cavalleria rusticana" and "Eastasy." The soloist is a former Lawrence girl having attended Lawrence high school and studied for a time under Prof. C. A. Prayer of the School of Fine Arts.
PASSING SHOW PAYS WELL
Y. W, C. A. Netted $156.30 From Tuesday's Entertainment
The K. U. Passing Show staged Tuesday evening by the Y. W. C. A will add considerably to the fund to be raised by the association this year. In previous years the Y. W. and the Women's Student Government Association have taken alternate years in staging the annual K. U. circus and the May Fete. This year however the women are unwilling to assist in producing the concert then it is the W. S. G. As year for holding the May Fete. So in order to raise the money the women were forced to hold a circus of their own.
The sixty bellies who staged the performance are highly pleased over the performance total of $168.30 has been reported to date, while several cabinet women and fraternity men have not reported their attendance will amount to approximately $30.

CAPPER IS SURPRISED
Senator Lambertson's Report on University Goes Out of Hs Province
RESEARCH WORK NEEDED
Majority of Students Are Not Social Butterflies, Says Governor
"The report of Sen. W. B. Lamberton, of the state efficiency and economy committee at present contains his own suggestions," said Gov. Arthur Capper, when interviewed upon the topic of Friday night. The governor met and formulate their suggestions to the state legislature. As yet I have not had sufficient time to go into a thorough consideration of Sen. Lambertson's report. I was somewhat surprised that the report dealt in some respects with the policy of the state legislature and the committee in the main is to consider the details and business methods of the institutions of the state.
"When the committee meets to prepare its report to the state legislature, the suggestions of the Senator may be reiterated, and they may not. At present It is impossible to say what will be contained." Aaron Ware, Research Work.
The Governor stated that in the future there would probably be need of more graduate and research work if the state is to follow out his suggestions in regard to increasing the manufacturing interests of the state as made in his speech at Pittsburgh recently.
"Our University and Agricultural College will be called upon, then, to aid the manufacturers as well as the farmers of the state along practical lines. This same service has been performed by Universities of other states, and by the Universities of Europe. That will mean an increase instead of a decrease in the amount of graduate and research work done by the University. I do not know the relative amount of undergraduate and graduate work done by the University in these cases, a degree state as to the suggestion of Senator Lambertson upon that point. Governor Capper minimized the idea of there being too much society at the state University.
NOT TOO MUCH SOEIETY
"Probably there are some who spend too much time in the social activities of the University and its different organizations, but the great majority of them work with the serious motive of preparing themselves for life and its responsibilities. It is for such as these that the University and the other educational institutions of the state exist. In time this type of student will receive the state and its citizenship for every cent the state spends upon 'them.'
H. H. RULES OUT RINGERS
At Least Five Players on Field Must Belong to Club
Varsity players, professionals, and baseball "K" men are barred from participation in Hash House baseball games, by rules drafted by the commission at its meeting yesterday. Last year's rules permitted them to play in outfield positions, but this year they are forbidden to play at all.
The rule stating that any club with fewer than thirteen able-bodied men might be permitted to draw outside players was stricten out. The only restriction now is that at least 5 of the players on the field at any one time must be regular players at the club.
Another new rule is that no new players may be admitted in the last game, games or for the first time.
The commission desires to call attention to the rule requiring managers or captains to hand in a list of players, with which few of them have complied. The commission also wants the Daily Kansan. A complete list of rules will be published this week.
Games which were to have been played April 8 will be played at the end of the schedule, when the teams by order decide to settle them before that time.
