THE MISSOURIANS DID IT
prognostications of Old Doc Dope Proved True in Basketball Game
VICTORS HAD NO TROUBLE
Once Van Ghent's Quintet Got Started KU, couldn't Stop It
For once the expected happened.
Showing great team work and clock-like passing, the Missouri Tigers had little trouble defeating Kansas 41-10 last night in the opening game of the final basketball series of the 1916 season, on the Robinson Gymnasium court.
The season's record crowd, despite the handicap of Monday night, turned out in a vain hope of seeing the fast Tiger machine stopped by Coach Hamilton's five. For three minutes the team win, they lost. Van Ghent quintet get under way, the seven. 24, Kansas 7.
WILLIAMS STARRED
The second half proved even worse the Tigers headed by Williams counting 17 points, while the Kansas five despite the addition of Reber, Washburn, and other reinforcements counted a meager three.
Eight players were used in the Jayhawker lineup by Coach Hamilton, but only three of them broke into the scoring jubilee. Gibbens, Captain of the on-court feature contributed by the Jayhawkers during the forty minutes of agony was Gibben's great football tackle during the second period. It cost the most money in BILBERT to personal foul but the crowd got its money's worth out of it.
and a Kansas City Wesport high school product, goes the honor of contributing twenty-eight of the Old Gold and Black's points. With his fourteen field baskets, Williams was not only the highest individual point scorer of the evening but also for the local team. Also for the president, Ware, also a Kansas City boy, broke into the field goal column and scored five free throws on the seven Kansas fouls.
BETTER GAME TONIGHT
NUMBER 103.
Although defeated by the worst score of the season, in last night's opener, the optimistic among the Jayhawk five's followers are expecting a radical reversal of the Kansas team's form in tonight's second game. The Tizers have been noted this season for being an erotic five play real games. Kansas may not win tonight, but many may believe that the score will be by a five point margin rather than thirty.

HOW SYSTEM WORKS
Professor Mitchell Explains Method of Election to Phi Beta Kappa
The basis on which students are elected to Phi Beta Kappa, who selects them, and the method in selecting them, has always been a puzzle to many students. The following method was given by Prof. U. G. Mitchell who, until recently was secretary of the organization.
In the first place only students who make practically straight I's are eligible. The first semester as a freshman does not count. This one is given the student to get used to the new method of study. At the beginning of the senior year the secretary of the order goes over the lists and takes about one-sixth of the best students. These are arranged in the order of their grades. The faculty members of the delta Kappa delta committee be trained and also select the members, Grades are primarily a prerequisite to election but the faculty members look to the student's future also.
Many students do not know that only ones from the College are eligible to membership or that a person coming here from some other school must take at least forty hours of coursework who come here as seniors ineligible uness they take the required amount of work.
GRADUATES TO HIGHBROW
A Mixer March 10 Will Amuse
120 Possessors of Sheepskins
Hist, a secret! The dignified Graduate Club will be dignified no more on the evening of March 10. To see them in person, do it will be a dark mystery which can be solved only by the 120 members. Miss Gladys Elliott, Pearl Baker and Andrew Grundstadt come to this meeting which will make this next meeting a social one.
"The purpose of the Graduate Club is to promote the social and intellectual fellowship of its members," said Miss Elliott. "The meeting on March 10 will be a big social mixer and I am excited that we will miss 'the time of his life.' I hope every one will save this date and help make the affair a big success."
"The first social meeting of the year, held February 25th, afforded every one a jolly, good time but the most joyous and most successful. We are not dignified on these occasions nor are we supposed to act very intellectually."
Until the legislature sees fit to appropriate enough money to provide recitation rooms for some of the growing classes, there is a movement to add a station a traffic cop on the steps of Green Hall where traffic is congested. Tom Mulloy has been suggested, but friends of other candidates say they are early enough to handle the industrious College students who get up in the morning.
Black eyes, accompanied by swollen lips and noses, are common decorations for University men, now-a-day. Such disfigurements indicate the popularity of boxing under Harry Harlan.
Trying to work his major out in his first year is the ambition of one freshman youth on the hill. Charles Easton, of Winchester, spends from 6-8 hours a day in the gymnasium each day taking part in all the different forms of exercise obtainable.

HE TOLD IRISH STORIES
Seumas MacManus Recited Naive Poems and Readings From His Own Work
Miss Caroline Greene will talk before the Twelve O'Clock Sunday School class tea held at Westminster Hall from five to seven tonight. Miss Greene is chair of Charity Association of Kansas City and has charge of the Italian quarter.
Seumas MacManus more than lived up to the Irishman's reputation as a wit and story teller in his lecture given yesterday afternoon on "Stories of Irish Fairy and Folk-lore." The audience, which filled the chapel, was charmed by his quaint and beautiful tales.
This Irist poet, journalist and author told the stories as they have been told to him and his ancestors for the last 2,000 years. His chief amusement as a child, youth and schoolmaster was furnished by the old Schanachies who he said could sit before a turf-fire in some little cottage and tell stories for years and years and never repeat a one.
"Thank God Ireland still believes in the old fairy stories," said Mr. MacManus, "it is the land for story telling and story tellers. The profession of writing thrived in Ireland, and teller ranks third in Irish professions. That there are fairies in Ireland he does not doubt and the story of how they came he told the audience. It was at the time the devil was cast as a monk, Jean clairtin his triptych remained in the struggle that preceded were also punished by the Almighty. He threw them from heaven with the permission to go wherever they wished. For the most place to go in heaven they need Ireland.
Dozens of pretty stories saturated with humor, which are so characteristic of the Irish, were told by Mr. Bacchus. "The Irish man who rests in Moor," a poem of love-making was very popular with the audience. In the Gaelic there are 365 terms of endearment for a girl, "Ireland," says Mr. MacManus, "has a very rich voice that is full of wit which rests the Irish people more clearly than do the stories." Some of the most beautiful are: "God never shuts one door but he opens two," I think very well. "That man who gallon-and-a-half" "It's bad manners to talk about ropes in the house where the father was hanged." "A kind word never broke a tooth." "Many a man's will tongue broke his arm when a woman whose wife is a widow," and a dozen others kept the crowd laughing for an hour.

WANT MORE TEACHERS
Many Kansas Schools Are Demanding University Graduates for Instructors
The demand for teachers for next fall is heavier this year than it has ever been before, judging from the requests that have been pouring into the office of Prof. W. H. Johnson of the School of Education. A large number of calls has been received and more are coming in every day.
At a recent meeting of the students of the School of Education approximately 175 signified their intention of teaching school next year. Of this group, 40 signaled their application with the Board for the Recommendation of Teachers.
"Owing to the delay caused by the investigation of credentials the students intending to teach should make their application to the Board at once," said Professor Johnson. "The students who delay making their application stand a good chance to lose on jobs."

SENIORS MAY LOSE PLAY
Unless '16 Actors Try Out, Production Will go to Outsiders
ISSUE CALL FOR ACTION
Unless Interest is Shown Tradition Will go By the Board
A final call for members of the senior class to support their play, "Copping the Grapes," by Alton Gumbiner, was issued by Manager Don Burnett today and unless at least fifty seniors are present at the trouty in Green Bay, the class may be the first to go down into history as unable to give its own play. "We have had only about twenty people out so far said Manager Burnett, this morning, "and unless a great many more come out tomorrow it may be that the class will not be able to keep up with every senior who has any dramatic talent at all will come to the trouties tomorrow."
The senior play, which has become an institution at the University, has always been given by a cast selected by competition from the members of the senior class. In years gone by the university had a lead in being considered one of the highest honors that any senior can obtain. However the present class seems to lack interest in the event and only twenty people have been out for the places. Since there are fifteen managers and seven of their managers little choice as to who shall get the place and it is probable that they will take it out of the hands of the class unless at least fifty aspirants are out for the places tomorrow.
WHAT THEY SAY
"Just what effect the taking of the play out on the hands of the class would have cannot be told, of course," Burnett said yesterday, "but we will have to do it unless there are more opportunities for us not ready to say who will put on the play if the members of the class do not.
C. A. Randolph, president of the senior class says: "It would be a blot upon the name of the class if we should be unable to give the play. I sincerely hope that every senior who turns out for the tryouts tomorrow."
Robert Smith, senior Law, is of the opinion that every senior should take the matter to heart and see to it that the members of the class come out for it. He declares that he is going to attend at least three new men out, himself.
THEY ALL AGREE
Willis G. Whitten, senior engineer,
says that he would go out himself if
he thought that it would help any and
anyone who is going to the classroom
class ought to put on the play itself.
Louise Imus, a senior in the College, also believes that the play ought to be put on by the class and says that she will do all that she can to see to it that it is put on by the senior class as has been the custom in the past.
While Alice Coors, who had the lead in the dramatic club's play this fall, isn't willing to be quoted in the Kansan, she admitted to a reporter that she thought the play ought to be put on by the class at any cost. "The seniors ought to strive for the honor," she asserted.
Mauren McKernan, senior College,
believes that the class will be sorry
if it fails to put on the play by
coming out for the trousls.
Practically all members of the class are agreed that the cast must be chosen from the ranks of the class and it is probable that the aroused senti-
tion of the desired fifty people for the tryouts in Green Hall tomorrow afternoon.
THE KODAK WILL GET YOU
IF YOU DON'T WATCH OUT
Again the "Kodak Section" is to be a big feature of the Jayhawk. it is generally conceded that snapshots are better than pictures, because day activities on and around the campus, portrait a truer and more lasting picture of college life than any number of photographs taken in it, and photographically brushed and groomed can do.
At 3:30 Wednesday afternoon, E. M. Johnson, who is looking after this feature of the annual, wants to meet the members of the Kodak Club, in an outdoor building. Anyone who is interested can belong to this club. At the meeting tomorrow, a definite plan of obtaining pictures, and working up features will be discussed. A number of exhibitors are invited to the Jayhawker of '16 originality and destination over previous annuals, are being worked out.
