YEARS SHOW CHANGE IN AHTELIC METHODS
They Used to Take Oil Baths
What would people think of us if they should see us eat a big piece of meat with our fingers, wipe the greasy fingers on a piece of bread, and calmly throw the bread under the table? They would call us barbarians. Who would be more grateful to pose we ate our meals lying down. They would say we were sick; and probably there would be something wrong with us. Yet old Sophocles, Euripides, Eratosthenes, and all the lords and statesmen of ancient Greece inhabited; and people called Greece the cultured nation of the world.
What if our athletes had to bathe themselves with oil, as the Athenian youth did, every time they worked out. It is doubtful if many K. U. men would go out for athletics in the first place if oil baths were a prerequisite; and then just think what a time that would have afforded them trying to wash it off with Lawrence city water. It makes us wonder if the Greeks used lawn soap. Funny what a change a few centuries can make in opinions.
HASH HOUSE LEAGUERS TO
TALK ABOUT DIAONDAMS
The chief matter for discussion is that of grounds. Last week the two north diamonds were unfit for use, and Hamilton Field was not available, so considerable confusion remained between diamonds may have to be provided, since they have not been put in condition.
Representatives of the Hash House League teams will meet tomorrow night in the Daily Kansan office at 10 a.m. The team will have arisen out of the first series of games last week. The business will not require a great deal of time, but is important. Following the general progress of the series, protests and questions of eligibility.
WEIGHTS AND MEASURES ARE NEVER ACCURATE
"No measure is absolutely correct," says Prof. E. F. Stimpson, of the department of physics and state inspector of weights and measures. "We always test the accuracy of all measures used in important experiments." Just lately some glass pipettes and burettes have been purchased for the department of physics to test the strength of glass pipettes and burettes are small glass measures that will contain a known amount.

SOPHOMORE WOMEN PLAY FIRST HOCKEY
Initial Game of New Inter Collegiate Sport Won by Miss Adams' Class
Women's hockey started out with a vim yesterday afternoon, when Dr Alice Goetz's 11:30 sophomore gym class went down to inlegible defeat under Miss Sylvin Adams' 3:30 sophomore women. The score, which was a mere matter of 1 to 0 does not suggest the victory they earned into the game. It was the first time that the women had played on the outdoor court back of the Gym, and they had many trials and tribulations locating the elusive little ball, and pursuing it frantically over bumps and hillocks and swatting it frantically to get it untangled from the long grass, only to see it puffered and then their noses by ennemy, and sent spinning down the field in the opposite direction. Play was very ragged, to say the least, and the睡眠 horse gazing peacefully near the field opened his eyes in amazement at the sight of so many young ladies engaged in pounding one innocent little pellet, and brandishing warlike clubs, at each brandished tongue, and brandishing a loud horse laugh, but the statement could not be verified this morning.
"The person who succeeds in life learns to triumph during his college days," said William B. Lampe in his talk on the subject "The Survival of the Fittest" at morning prayers in Fraser chapel this morning.
"A college diploma is the most worthless thing a man ever spent five dollars for if that is all he gets from school. But he will succeed in the man who takes the hard courses and reads the hard books. He will triumph where others fail. He learns to overcome difficult problems, himself fit and worthy to survive."
“Never you mind,” said Miss Adams cheerfully, “Just as soon as we learn that the object of the game is not for everybody to jump on the ball at once we will have a wonderful team.”
"This is just a beginner," said Dr. Goetz. "We probably won't do anything about a school team this year, because the women don't know enough about the game; but we want all the women to come out and play, and by the practice obtained we hope to get a fine junior team next fall."
There will be more inter-class games. Friday two freshman teams winning the win and next week the winning sophomore and play the winning freshman gym class.
