Lack of men for the tumbling team has caused the Athletic Association to turn down the challenges of a number of Missouri Valley schools. The scarcity of men is the result of misunderstanding on the part of the students regarding the character of work, according to H. A. Lorenz, under whom the squad works.
MORE TUMBLERS ARE
NEEDDED TO MAKE TEAM
Freshmen and Sophomores have looked upon tumbling as advanced work, while in reality the building of a successful team depends on experience. With the organization of a team, competition with other schools will follow.

DOING THEIR PART
Some of the women from the Alemanna house who have an especial love for six mile hikes, discovered
Sunday while resting peacefully on a few planks close to the little boxcar near the Six Corners depot, that no Sunday trains ran on the Leavenworth branch line into Lawrence. An automobile picked up two of the most pitiful stragglers on their return trip and the others reeled into Lawrence with the kindly shades of night shrouding them.

BASKET TOSSERS WORK
Short Time Remains to Prepare For Opening of
Season
The opening of the basketball season is so close at hand that the situation is becoming acute from the coach's point of view. The squares of school are usually since the third week of school but only within the last two weeks has daily practice been started. With only one week remaining before vacation and the first game scheduled the necessity of practice is seen.
No practice can be held during the vacation so this leaves only eleven practices before Ames invades the Jayhawk camp. In that time the team must be picked and get going good enough to win the first game. However, the basket shooters will practice on many courts in a day and they are their vacation and keep in shape even at the sacrifice of their vacation.
But the prospects for the indoor game are far from discouraging. The fact that a squad of twenty-five has been out all season and they are still sticking leads one to believe that there will be class to the final product turned out by Coach Hamilton. Only two K men are out for positions and even these are not sure what position they men look好 for starting the first game of the season or even the Nebraska game which comes only one week later.
FOOTBALL MEN ARE OUT
Since the closing of the football season a team of varsity stars are trying out for the indoor sport and it appears that some of OleTTs' pupils may land a berth. Heath, Wood and Wilson are working on the indoor sport and are making things hot for some of the regulars. Heath and Wilson have been playing more before while Wilson showed up fine on the freshman squad last fall. He will have a good chance of winning a letter in basketball this year.
But the picking of the team remains a problem and the middle of the week will see some attempt at solving it.
Mrs. Terrill Talks Before Y. W.
About a hundred women attended the weekly meeting of Y. W. Tuesday afternoon. After tea had been served and the usual song service held, Mrs. A. C. Terrill told of her experiences with the White Bible New York two years ago. Here each student was required, aside from his regular studies, to do some practical outside work, such as teaching a Sunday school class or doing slum work.
