Defend Freshman Football Team.-- Object to Conference Unless Nebraska Is In.
At the students' mass meeting in chapel Thursday a set of resolutions was drawn up expressing the dissatisfaction of the students with some of the proposed regulations for the Missouri Valley Conference. The principal objections raised by the students were centered around the question of going into the league if Nebraska stays out. The abolition of the freshman football team, and the enforcement of the undergraduate rule were criticized.

The following resolutions which were adopted Thursday will be presented to the Council at its next meeting:

LOSE TO BAKER.
Kansas Took a Brace in Second Half.
The Baker basket-ball team defeated the K. U. team Thursday night at Baldwin 39 to 24. During the first half the Jayhawkers missed the goal time after time and the score stood 18 to 6. In the second half the Methodists threw only one more goal than the University. Siler never failed to get the ball on the toss-up, but the forwards had hard luck hitting baskets. Allen, the Baker coach, gave K. U. the credit for the best team work by a visiting team at Baldwin this year.
