UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
ATHLETES HARD AT WORK
Basketball and Track Men Keep Busy Training for Coming Competition
Indoor track work as well as basketball practice is temporarily suspended over the week because of the Law Scrim which takes possession of the gym tonight. But these two sports are not suffering to any extent from lack of practice. Both teams have been busy this week and will make up for it by daily practices next week.
Basketball practice is being held each night from now on. Twice a week was often enough for the basket tossers during the football season but now every night is hardly considered often enough. The games start immediately after the holiday season so it is difficult that the men learn through basketball before the festive season in order that they will be ready for the first game. Team work and signal practice has been the main point emphasized this week and the regulars are able to trim the freshman squad regulars as well as been having both squads while coach Hamilton was looking after the business end of football but from now on will have complete charge of the first year men.
Track Men Work, Too
Coach Patterson has been putting the track men through light workouts this week. The change from outdoor running to the curved indoor track makes it necessary for the tracksters to take it easy for their coup of weeks. A jar of shrimp-spills" causes the men to take a slow pace at first. Patterson wants his men to get in good shape before the holidays so that they will be able to start in for record time as soon as possible. The necessity of training at this time of the year is not as imperative for track men as it is for basketball "sharks" for the former will not face competition the last of January, and hard sea ice will allow Coach Robert's men are willing to take an early start.
Is Mason Of High Degree
The youngest Scottish Rite Mason in Kansas is a 'University student, H. A. Blasdel of Garnett, a junior in the College. Blasdel took the first three degrees of Masonry at Garnet and the rest at Lawrence. He took his first degree on his twenty-first birthday, his second and third a week afterward, and a special dispensation, was loved to take the third up to the thirty-second a week later. His was the only dispensation given and it is certain that there is no younger Mason of his degree in the state.
One of the most unique souvenirs of the vacation yet displayed is a marriage certificate, issued in St. Louis, Missouri, where the proud, but somewhat flushed possessor spent his holidays.
