HOME TALENT CIRCUS TO AMUSE VISITORS
Hamilton to Entertain High School Students During Tournament
STUDENTS TO DO PERFORMING
Aesthetic Dancing, Varsity Basket ball, Band Concert, and Track Stunts to Fill Gaps in Meet
Plenty of entertainment is to be offered the high school basketball teams which compete in the eighth trimester. On Saturday afternoon, Robinson Gymnasium. On Saturday afternoon, March 27, while the teams that are to play the final games are resting, Manager W. O. Wilson will present a little circus of his own.
The All-Stars and the Varsity will play basketball; the women in the aesthetic dancing class will appear in a number of ensemble and solo numbers; some of the Varsity track men will hurdle and high jump for the onestop competition; and some Maccles and the University band will dispense sweet melody.
Entries in the tournament are coming in daily, and prospects are bright for the biggest meet in history. The rankings of some top teams are refreshed; Red Brown, Forest Allen, Ed. Van der Vries, and Hoover of Baker.
Champions to Defend Titles
Loving Cups Offered
Eighty per cent of the gross receipts of the game will be divided among the competing teams to help defray the expenses incurred by a trip to Lawrence. Last year $12.00 was divided among the 47 teams, which almost covered the actual railway fare for five men from each scht.
The Arkansas City team, which won the girls' title, and the Lawrence team, which nosed out Reno County in the boys' division, have both signified their intention of defending the honor gained last year.
No Rest for the Boys
The winning quintets in both the girls' and boys' divisions will again be awarded silver loving cups, emblematic of the University of Kansas for running up the runnerup in each class will also be thee a suitable trophy.
Visiting players will have the benefit of expert advice along the line of basketball for Dr. James Naismith, director of physical education at the University of Kansas, is the inventor of the game and Coach Hamilton of the Missouri Valley, is considered one of the best basketball men in the Missouri Valley.
The committee has cut down the number of minutes to each game until the semi-final round is reached. During the preliminary rounds boys' teams will now contend for no intermission or girls' teams a like period of time but with a three minute intermission between the halves. The committee made this change because it is necessary for the teams to reach the final quarter in order to win. This was thought to be too great a strain for the junior athletes.
In the semi-final round, the teams will play two, fifteen minute periods each. In the third round, on the final day the contestants will struggle two regulation twenty minute halves. About eighty teams are expected to enter the 1913 tourna-

Sigma Xi Banquets
Sigma Xi will hold a banquet tonight in Myers Hall at 8 o'clock. The initiation of six new members will precede the banquet.
"FAR ABOVE THE DISTANT VALLEY"
The old flag-pole surmounting Frazea Hall broke recently, and this afterward.
Earl Martin Climbs Flag-pole
All of which sounds very prescio and matter-of-fact, but the top of the pole is fully 150 feet above the campus, and the last 55 feet of the distance is represented only by a thin steel rod reaching up toward the top of the pole. Could he be put through the pulley at the top of the pole only by climbing. The man who did the job was Earl Martin, a Lawrence electrician and steele-jack who put the lightning-rods on the top of the big smoke-stack of the power-plant last summer. He made asking the climb, because his father was present and insisted upon it. He didn't appear to think that he had done anything worthy of comment, and only said that it is hard to climb iron poles because they are slippery. This pole especially was slippery because of the drizzly rain. Also, he made sure the ground in the air, with the weight of the climber at the top, but Martin says one soon gets used to that.
"How do things look from up there?"
"Why, a fellow doesn't take time to look around," he replied.
DEAN MARVIN LEFT BOOKS
Dean F. O. Marvin, before his death, presented the School of Engineering with his engineering library consisting of between three and four hundred volumes. Special cases are being constructed for them and they will be arranged around Dean Marvin's side of the library in Marvin Hall.
Library Containing Old Volumes Given to School of Engineering
The collection consists of 75 volumes of "The Transactions of the American Civil Engineers;" 65 volumes on "Proceedings of Institute of Engineering," 30 volumes of "Journal of Engineering Societies;" 30 volumes of "The Engineering Magazine;" 50 volumes of "The Engineering News;" 30 volumes of "Engineering Record" and 20 volumes of "Prolific Promotions of Engineering Education."
In addition to these the library contains over one hundred volumes of miscellaneous engineering books. A number are of especial interest because of their age. Several volumes date as far back as 1750 and are the first books printed on the subject of engineering.

OFFER BIG NICKEL'S WORTH TONIGHT
Two Games, Polish Dance, Drill
Don't be ignorant enough to think the basketball season ended with the Missouri games. A thrilling post-game game, A 7:30 clock when the two women's teams of the freshman class, the Reds and the Blues clash in battle. The victors are to meet the opposition they get their breath after their victory.
"It's going to be exciting," promises Miss Sylvia Adams, who has had charge of coaching the teams. "The girls have been practicing hard and faithfully, and the teams are evenly matched. We're hoping for a big crowd, and can promise them their nickel's worth."
Between the halves there will be a dumb-bell drill and a Polish folk dance by picked performers from the girls' gym classes.
Despite the fact that no men will be admitted to the game an enterprising woman this morning succeeded in persuading at least a dozen men. Then someone remembered the rule but the ticket seller had gone.
Bill Weidlein will act as referee, and has promised he is absolutely fortunate to be placed in his care.
The games are open to all University and Lawrence women and girls.
