K. U. WINS IN DEBATE
NUMBER 132
By 3-0 and 2-1 Votes Jayhawker Triumph Over Oklahoma and Colorado
WINNERS ON BOTH SIDES
Each Team Successfully Defendi Single Tax Question, Pro and Con
Bd Wire To The Daily Kansan.
Boulder, Colorado, April 16—A vote of two to one the debaters from Kansas won over the team of the University of Colorado last night. The Jayhawker speakers were in splendid form, and the victory was by team work, backed up by the star orate of Ed. Kaufman in Colorado. The debate was no quibble, but a pure clash on issue, and brought forth the best efforts of the speakers on both sides.
The personnel of the Kansa队 team is air follows: Jimmie Johnson, Ed Kidman, and Harrison Gould.
The visitors are being royally entertained by the Colorado men. They will remain in Boulder for the Colorado-Missouri debate tonight. They are making a trip in the mountains today.
Williamson opened by showing that the present system is sound in principle, because it taxes according to ability to pay. Its defects are merely those of administration, while the single tax is inherently bad because it is based on the premise that society gives value only to land. Mathematics assures our defects in the single tax idea, and Mattonon closed the argument by pointing out, the unjust incidence of the single tax on land.
OKLAHOMA DEFEATED, TOO
The team debating for Kansas h. Fraerra Hall last night was composed of O. H. Burns, W. H. Dodds, and Henry A. Shinn. In this case the question is whether the firmative side of the question and won the decision by all three votes.
Burns led off with an able talk, stating the position of his team and outlining the course of argument to determine if the system is wrong because it is (a) cumbersome and costly; (b) a burden on production, and (c) it is un-
He was answered by Charles B. Steele of Oklahoma, who took the position that in order to win Kansas had to show that all other forms of taxation but the single tax on land are wrong.
The judges were Prof. J. E. Kirkpatrick, of Topeka; Prof. Edwin Lee Holton, of Manhattan; and Prof. Arthur M. Hyde, of Topeka.
Dodds and Eugene McMahan were the second men to talk for the two schools, and the arguments were closed by Shina Jin. The Yuntaub on both Aida was lively and spirited, but it seemed from the spectators point of view that the Kansas men kept their talks better coordinated and more clearly defined than their opponents, who somewhat loose in their presentation.
HOXIE VICTOR IN DEBATE
The contests won by Kansas speakers last night represent two sides of a three cornered debate between Colorado, Oklahoma, and Kansas, each school defending both sides of the question.
Triumpthant Team to Contest With Newton for State Championship
By Wire to The Daily Kansar
Hoxie, Kansas, April 16—Hoxie won the decision last night over EFingham in upholding the affirmative of the question, "That Kansas should adopt the ui-camera system of legislature." This ended the seminals of the state high schools debating contests.
Hoxie will debate the same side of the question against Newton on April 30 at the University for the state championship.

HOUSE BROKE HIS DATE
And Chancellor Strong Had to Fill in With a Solo
Jay House, erstwhile paragrapher and sport writer on the Topeka Capital, but now elevated to the dignity of Topeka's chief executive, probably does not know that he was once the source of a hurried impromptu solo on the part of Chancellor Frank Strong of the University of Kansas.
It came about in this way. In November 1912, the Topekan was scheduled to address the students at a special conventation in the chapel. He became so absorbed in his musings that he forgot his Lawrence date. The student body took his hand to hear the Chancellor Strong presiding.
The Chancellor was not to be stumped by the non-appearance of the Topekan, however, and sent in a hurry up call for Dean Skilton, the musician. Between the two, they kept the audience in a good humor.
House has never, never spoken to the students of the University since.

Dayhawkers at Penn Relay Wi Meet Teams With Professional Prep School Coaching
Kansas Will Have Hardest Fight Against Cornell's Well Trained Men
OLD TRADITION AT STAKE
When the five crack Jayhawk distance man, all native Kansasans from whom the K. U. four mile relay team will be chosen, set foot on Eastern soil to compete with the best that has ever been trained in athletic traditions are in danger of obliteration. It will be a battle of the country against the city—of the country high school against the exclusive preparatory school—the products of nature's development on the earth, the best training that money can buy.
For the Kansas distance men, who represent the University at Des Moines tomorrow, and who invade the Atlantic slope the following week, are distinctly products of the small town in which they live. Their latent qualities of endurance by plugging several miles to school each day.
Des Moines Strong on Sprinters
At Des Moines, victory will come to them without much effort, for the long legged plainsmen are far superior to anything in this section of the country. But when they are forced to toe the mark with the crack Cornell four, gathered from the corners of the earth—for while Speden was running East, Vere Wendlagle was running the mile around 4:31 in far off Oregon—it will practically be Kansas against the rest of the country.
But the rest of the country will have to run. Hermriot and Rodkey, the best of the Kansans, are capable of much better than 4.30. They will limit the number of players they can limit. Edwards has twice completed the eight furlongs in 4-31 and Grady, the weakest man as well as Poas the alternate, can beat 4-35. So it will be hard for them to win unless they them, though the world's mark is less than ten seconds below that.

IT'S COST O' HIGH LIVING
Miss Anna Barrows Talks to Wom en in Fraser on Simplicity of Cooking
"It is not difficult to decrease the cost of living if one wants to do it," declared Miss Anna Barrows, secretary of the American Home Economics Association, in summing up her views on the best of living. Do We Want to Reduce? Before a hundred women in Fraser Hall, yesterday afternoon.
"For my part, I don't think many of us wish to make the sacrifice necessary to bring down the expense. If we would use more of the staple foods that are in season we could get a healthful diet at a reasonable cost. It is a point of coming back to more break and milk in our meals.
RECEPTION FOR MISS BARROWS
A large number of women, who are interested in the work of Miss Anna Barrows along the lines of household art, had the pleasure of meeting her personally, yesterday afternoon, the business offices department held an informal reception for her. Mrs. Brown's rooms in Fraser Hall were prettily decorated with cherry blossoms, and a number of girls served refreshment which they themselves had prepared. The staff said she had been greatly impressed, while visiting the western schools, with the efficient work accomplished.
SHOWED HOW TO DO IT
"Always be on the alert to see when you can do without," was the advise which Miss Anna Barrows of Teacher's College, Columbia University, wrote. "I will always teach yesterday; 'Science should teach you to use your own judgment as well as to be accurate. I carry a whole kitchen in this suit case, and can cook a meal for a good many people." And Miss Anna Barrows proceeded to make her word good by pulling forth, after the manner of a magician, oil lamps, stew pans, sifter, cutlery, all kinds of spices, and even napkins from one another. "All kinds of pudding, peach, spice and chocolate within the next hour."

K. U. NABS THE OPENER
Chinese Cracks From Hawaii Downed Four to Three on McCook Diamond
GAME ABOUNDS IN MISCUES
Both Infields Were Wobbly, But Jayhawker Tossers;Tightened
in Pinches
But to return to the game which was only the fourth defeat the Chinese have received from an American school team during this week. The other day, locally, Craig being bothered by a little wildness in the opening innings. But in the second, disaster came. Russell dropped an easy pop fly back of second to start the innings. This so disturbed Red that he lowered up a knee and before things had quieted down two runs had gone over the plate.
Red Craig's pitching yesterday afternoon did several things besides giving Kansas a 4-3 victory over the Chinese University of Hawaii. It put an awful jolt into the theory that the 1950 B-U, U pitching staff was weak because they told Carson and Blue would be lucky to win a game, this season.
K. U. Evens in Third
But the next session McCarty's proteges came right back getting three runs on a walk, and a mixture of errors with a couple of scratch nits.
The winning Crimson and Blue run came in the eighth when Sproul got his second consecutive walk and was pushed around for a score on a sacrifice, and out and a scratch hit. The first half of the ninth found the visitors making desperate efforts to win. The first two men were easy out by the King-Sprowl route and just for good luck Red whiffed the last one.

Notes on the Game
Though the day was warm, Coach McCarty had his men properly accounted and on the field fully an hour before the game was called. The Hawaiians also did considerable warming up, the heat affecting them but little, as they have been raised in a semi-torrid zone.
Were it not for the fact that Mark is at times inclined to loaf, he would be classed as one of the best catchers in the game today. He has an arm of steel and a good reach in addition to batting well, but does not appear to have much hint. Longy's failure to touch a runner and the resultant squabble was the only thing which seemed to rouse him into aggressiveness.
Mark. the visitors' big backstop, showed that his arm was not to be taken lightly, by throwing out Chinmery several feet on an attempted purloin of the keystone sack. He knocked Cubs very much in his actions behind the bat, but does not show the initiative of the National leaguer.
At the last moment, McCarty decided to use Lindsay in the outfield and his judgment was not misplaced for Lindsay pulled one out of the clouds that seemed sure to go into the bleachers for a two sacker. Lindsay was caught mapping off first once though.
The Chinese and the Hawaiians generally addressed one another in English but occasionally got excited and shouted instructions in their native tongue. Such an aggregation needs few signals.
And Hicks was the umpire's name.
