WANT WOMEN COACHES
"A Man Should Not Coach Girls' Basketball," Says Miss Hazel Pratt
Three of the seven basketball teams coached by women which appeared with the other seventeen girls' teams in the recent high school tournament played in the semifinals. There were numbered among these three teams and they demonstrated what a woman coach can do. Almost one-half of the woman coached teams appeared in the semi-finals, a team ranked second in the nineteenth of the teams coached by men which worked up to this high standard of playing.
"A man should not coach a girl's basketball team for several reasons," commented Miss Pratt, sport director. "In the first place, not only men but most people do not make the distinction between men's and women's standards. They do not realize that in most kinds of athletics a woman has a distinct role to separate form of doing things. She is built differently. A man attempting to progress in sports by using a man's form makes me think of an aeroplane trying to scoot along on the ground like an automobile.
WOMEN'S GAME DIFFERENT
**WOMEN'S GAME DIFFERENT**
"Now girls' basketball is girl's basketball, a separate sport played for girls, played by men, having its own rules and methods of playing. Unless a coach has played the girls' game himself, he does not have a true insight into the game. Imagine a player and a team that plays and play by heart, trying to coach a football team unless he has played the game himself.
"Again it is impossible for a man to get a woman's view of women's basketball. It is only natural that a man should not think of a girl's health, and that she would play the game. This sort of thing works for the hysteria and feverish excitement seen so often in a women's game.
"The reason women's basketball has not gone through the evolution which men's basketball has, is because of lack of interest on the part of the coaches. It is natural that the majority of men coaches should be more vitally interested in men's sports. In the last few years, aside from one or two small changes, which decidedly, do not work for the good women's rules, have been exactly the same as the sport line game which puts a sport entirely out of the class of the old two line style, has not yet been adopted, although it is making slow progress among the high schools of the state.
GAME GOOD FOR WOMEN
"However, in spite of the many difficulties under which the game must be played, I think the sport decidedly worth while. Women as a rule do not have the true sport spirit simply because they have it. They are more fact than game. In basketball, which is one of the best organized of women's games, a girl is thrown on her own responsibility. She must think and act quickly. She must have self-control. She must make sacrifices like playing and capturing a game of basketball emphasizes, rather than detracts from her womanly qualities."
Watches Growing on Bushes?
The trees and shrubs of the campus are being pruned and shaped for the coming season by Worthie Horr under the direction of Prof. W. C. Stevens of the department of Botany. One day while Horr was on the ground after his can of asphalt putty with which he closes the wounds that his saw and knife made, he was a watch he was about to make thought that he was about to make a find. Instead he discovered that he had merely saved himself a loss, as his watch had caught on a branch and pulled out of his pocket.
A current fad at Oberlin is the study of foreign languages. Practically every student is studying some strange language. Lithuanian leads with 462 followers while there are numerous students of Dalmatian, Albanian, Armenian, Finnish, Magyar, and Croation.
PRESENTS LEHIGH PICTURE TO THE UNIVERSITY CLU
Prof. H. A. Rice recently presented to the University Club a picture of Parker Hall, the main building at Leibhug University.
"Professor Rice is the only alumnus of Lehigh University at the University of Kansas," said Prof. John N. Van der Vries this morning, "and has set a good example which I hope will encourage others who are the only representatives of their school. The university provides pictures of more than one hundred colleges upon its walls and we ought to be able to do as well."
CATS, CATS, CATS, CATS
Wanted Immediately by Class in Comparative Anatomy
Prof. W. J. Baumgartner's class in Comparative Anatomy is the largest in the United States or Arkansas, and a distinguishedeman for the MacMillan Company.
The course has always been a popular one with both pre-medics and college students. The present class is now busily engaged in dissecting the chief factor concerned in the preparation of the Epicurean's delight, namely turn soup. The next unit on the turn soup the latter burble are poor pussy and timid bunny. They must take their turn at the butchers' block.
Here is the rub. A large class is nice but the demand for cats is terrible. Professor Baumgartner is scratching his head where it don't itch. He intends to go to Kansas and teaches its ments for some young pigs, but what he really wants is cats and rabbits. The farmers near Lawrence have been notified that all undesirables of the feline family will be kindly received by the department. In fact New, if pussy can-bite apples, they'll now be marketed four-half-grown kittens, they may be marketed for one big iron man.
The sleuth who can time the cat fight that takes place immediately under his window every night may be called the philanthropist but make some tin.
"This is the time of year most people look forward to," says Professor Baumgartner, "but from night until morning I am kept in a turmoil smoothing out inquiries about our 'Mr. Tommy.'"

the best way to attract birds is by means of shrubbery. They do not like to stay where the parks are filled with only bare tree trunks. Another phase of the work will be encouraging the erection of bird houses, and the education of people, children especially, in the knowledge of birds."
Three or four committees are to be appointed at the next meeting of the college board and the executive director Douthit thinks, will be about half townpeoples and half students.

and singing: It also aims to
more senior women out to these mixers. These Sings, in the form of hikes, or whatever other diversion
their own, will be held
