IT SCORED A BIG HIT
"FATHER AND THE FRAT WELL RECEIVED.
Thespians Make New Epoch in Dramatics at University Play Full of Comedy.
By the presentation of "Father and the Frat" last night, the Thespians made a new epoch in dramatics at the University. Staging a college play, filled with real college ilfe, and short enough not to grow tiresome, they established a precedent which will be difficult for amateurs to equal in the future.
>
The play itself, is so local in its character, that an able presentation of it was made possible. There was but one setting, the den of a fraternity house, and the elaborateness of it added much to the effect of the play. No one member of the cast was a star and everyone seemed to be peculiarly adapted to his part. There was not a single cue missed or a noticeable error made through out the entire performance.
"Tommy" Johnson, as "Buck" Wilkins, the football star, out of the game with a sprained ankle, played his part extremely well. Hazel Kelley, as the "swellest girl in town," was charming in her finished acting. Jeanette Latz portrayed "the little peace-maker" artistically, and won the heart of her audience with her grace and tact. Solon Emery carried well the part of the freshman in trouble, and Dan Nevinger, as his irate father, was especially good. Alan Park and Clare Jaedicke, as "Bunny" Cole and Gertrude Fielding, the trouble-makrs," played their parts with ease. Art Seddon, as "Bud" Holloway, successfully dodged the bill collector.
The real hit of the evening was scored by Amarette Weaver, as Marian Vance, "who could sing because her voice teacher told her so."
Miss Muriel Culp, author of the play, was the happiest girl in Lawrence last night. This was her first attempt at writing a play for grown-up people and she was uncertain as to he reception that would be given it by Lawrence people.
In speaking of the play, Miss Culp said: "Most of the success is due to the able work of Georgia Brown and the untiring willingness of the members of the cast to get their parts right. My be
ing present at the rehearsals, o course gave me an opportunity to pick out the weak parts of the play and build them up. Yes, i am writing another play now. I don't know whether I will have it staged here or not."
The play will be given again to night.
WENT TO LANSING.
Mining Engineers Saw Workings of State Mine.
Prof. C.M. Young and fifteen mining engineers, most of them seniors,visited the state coal mine at Lansing yesterday. The morning was spent underground inspecting the workings of the mine. The afternoon was devoted to a trip through the penitentiary, of which the mine forms a part.
"The mine is very well run," said Professor Young this morning, "but I can see no great change since I last visited it three yaers ago. They have put in an electric lighting system and used a little more whitewash, but thatseems to have been about the only result of the recent investigation.
"The convicts who work the mine are required to get out nine tons of coal apiece each week. Free miners do from two to three times this much work, so the convict's task is not so hard.
"There are at present 231 men being worked in the mine, making the production rather over 2,000 tons a week. About a quarter of this is used at the peniten tiary itself."
This trip to Lansing will probably be made an annual affair Professor Young is also planning a more extended trip, which will probably be made later. It is to cover about four days, and include Iola, Pittsburg and Joplin.
ELECT CAPTAIN TUESDAY.
Football Men Will Choose 1910 Leader.
At the dinner, given at the Eldridge hotel by Manager Lansdon for the football team, the football squad will elect a captain to guide next year's team. Thirty men will be eligible to vote in the election. No candidates have publicly announced ehemselves as yet.

IS AGAINST COMPROMISE.
Myron Waterman Makes Vigorous Speech Against Saloons
"The greatest evil in America is the saloon system. Any compromise in the fight against it is preposterous and outrageous," said Myron S. Waterman of Kansas City, Kan., in his speech in chapel Friday morning on "Civic Righteousness."
"Not only does the saloon create a moral depravity and thus wholly unfit its victims for good citizenship, but by its corrupting influence in the control of politics it places a government by grapters upon many of our large cities." Mr. Waterman cited Chicago as an evidence of the polluting power of the saloon in municipal administration. He gloried in the position Kansas holds in the national battle for civic righteousness.
Mr. Waterman claims to be a thorough optimist along with his characteristics as a knocker. He believes that conservation has been a hindrance to progress from the dawn of time and that no one is too radical if he is right.
Constructively, Mr. Waterman believes in equal suffrage as one aid in getting the best citizens into public office. He says that civic and municipal government leagues should be established in every city to keep people educated as to the issues and secure the best class of men for public officials.
Banquet Postponed.
At a meeting of the engineers yesterday it was decided to postpone the date of the engineers' banquet until after the holidays The date of he banquet was to have been December 10, but the action taken last Thursday is due to the anti-holiday stress.
Allen County Club Meets.
Fifteen students were present at a meeting of the Allen County club last night, at 1244 Ohio street. The following officers were elected: President, Roscoe Ponsler; vice president, Florence Bedell; secretary and treasurer, Valma Shelley.

AFTER ANOTHER ONE.
Professor Duncan to Take a Trip to Jamaica.
A telegram was received Thursday from Professor Robert Kennedy Duncan stating that he will start soon for Jamaica, on business. By a recent discovery there it is thought that there are good possibilities for developing a Jamaican camphor industry. It is for consultation with a company of Jamaican promoters of this industry that Prof. Duncan will make the trip.
Professor Duncan's health has been so improved by his Maine visit that he had been expecting to start home next week. He will now probably be gone for the remainder of the year..

The man who wrote up the late lamented football game between Kansas and Missouri could have done justice to the battle of Waterloo. Maybe he thought it was the battle of Waterloo.-Emporia Gazette.
We presume the Gazette refers to the article in the Kansas City Star, which was a great piece of sport writing. But the man who wrote that piece was far from regarding the event as the battle of Waterloo. He is a graduate of one of the most ardent rivals of Kansas in the sporting world, and personally was just bubbling over with joy because Kansas had been defeated. But he let none of his personal feeling creep into his story. Instead, he threw the proper atmosphere of gloom into his work and reproduced exactly the Kansas feeling. Kansas has fared well at the hands of the Star, notwithstanding the fact that every man on the sport desk wished for no greater satisfaction that a Jayhawker defeat.
Coach Kennedy will not direct the Jayhawker football team next fall unless his salary is raised. The coach is asking for an increase in salary with all the argument and justice on his side. He has made the best record of any coach in the Missouri valley and at the same time has drawn almost the smallest pay. Everyone wants to retain Kennedy; but whether he is kept or not, Kansas must increase the salary of the head coach or obtain the services of a second rater in the business. It is inevitable that the Athletic association must appropriate more money next year to the coaches, and that being the case Kennery should be retained by all means. It seems to us that he has it coming to him.
We have often wondered why there was not a dramatic club formed at the University for the purpose of annually writing and staging plays on local subjects and life. "Father and the Frat," by Miss Muriel Culp, is just such a play and the success it met with last night warrants the belief that one local play a year could be successfully put on the boards. There are plenty of people in the University who, working together, could write a very creditable play. The Thespians have a fine chance to perpetuate the idea they have started and in
a short time the annual original play on local life would be an expected feature at the University.
The final gun of the football season has now been fired. Herman Hoelke has chosen his All Missouri Valley team, an event which was awaited with baited breath by all football fans. Who is Herman Hoelke? Why, he is a student in the school of journalish at the University of Missouri, and he is the only student who signs his name to his "stuff" in the University Missourian. Our friends Hoelke, with admirable restraint gave his abma mater only five places on his All Valley team and with true magnanimity gave the Jayhawkers three places. Oh, Hoelke!
In giving only fourteen letters to the football athletes the athletic board used the Knife with too much effect, or else did not shave close enough.

MUCH INTEREST IN EXTENSION
LETTERS COME FROM FAR AND NEAR.
From Brooklyn to Texas, Inquires Come Seeking Light on University's New Work.
Within the past few days letters received from various parts of the country have shown the widespread interest which is being taken in the University extension courses recently established at the University. An article recently printed in the New York World resulted in two letters of inquiry from Brooklyn being received by Professor Richard E. Price, head of the bureau of University extensier work.
Another man had been interested by a "write-up" in the Chicago Inter-Ocean, while a man in Amarilla, Tex., in the heart of the cattle country, had read an account of the work of Professor Price through the columns of the Christian Science Monitor.

THE CHECKSTAND
WILL ISSUE A NEWS-BULLETIN
SEMI-ANNUAL PUBLICATION NEXT WEEK.
To Be Printed in German and Sent to Large Number of High Schools.
The University News-Bulletin issued next Tuesday will be printed in German and devoted to the interests of the department of German. It will be mailed direct to every student studying German in the high schools of the state. The number of Kansas high schools in which German is taught this year is 161, as compared with 141 last year. The number of students has proportionately increased so that though 4,500 similar bulletins were issued last year, there will be at least 5,000 sent out next week.
This is the fourth year in which the German Bulletin has been sent from the University. Next Tuesday's issue is the fall bulletin and is mailed direct to the names secured from the various German instructors of the state, but the spring bulletin will be mailed to the teachers, who in turn will distribute them to the students.
Each bulletin contains a direct communication from the University department of German to the high school students. The fourth page is devoted to material in a lighter vein which can be understood and appreciated by even the first year students. A special feature of this bulletin is an account of school life in Germany by Professor Campbell, as he observed it while teaching English there last year when on a leave of absence from the University.
Many high school instructors make use of the bulletins in the class room work thus encouraging their students' interest in them. Prof. E. F. Engel originated the idea of sending these bulletins and has had the responsibility of issuing them for the department. They are a most effective means of calling attention to the University and are popular where they are received that it seems probable a more frequent publication of the bulletin will become desirable.
COACH COLE TO TENNESSEE
Johnny Bender Wants to Coach Nebraska.
Coach Cole, the veteran Nebraska oach, will coach the football team at Tennessee University next year. His salary will be $2,200, the amount he received at the Cornhusker school. "King" Cole is a great football man and has given Nebraska some strong teams. The Nebraskans this year did not make a very startling showing on the gridiron and that accounts for Cole's departure Johnny Bender, this year's Haskell coach, is being considered for the place, but the Nebraska alumni are opposing him in his ambition.
Republicans to Reorganize.
A meeting of the Republican students of the University is called to meet at 12:15 next Wednesday in room 104 Green hall to organize the Republican club for the year.

NEW CONFERENCE RULES
No More Gilchrist Cases in the Valley.
At the meeting of the Missouri Valley conference in Des Moine Saturday, a rule was passed requiring that whenever an athlete from oe school went to another school and thence back to his original school, he should be in residence one year before being allowed to participate in athletics. This rule was passed because of the Gilchrist case at Missouri, and while the conference did not censure Missouri, it was plain that the concensus of opinion was that at Columbia they had violated the spirit of the laws. The rule was really a reprimand to Missouri's action.
The conference also passed a rule prohibiting graduate students playing on athletic teams the rule to go into effect in two years.
Prof. C. E. McClung was the Kansas representative to the conference, but he did not readily Des Moines on account of a railroad breakdown. The telegram authorizing Manager Lansdon to act as representatives did not arrive in time and Kansas was unrepresented.
On account of his absence Professor McClung was replaced as secretary by Professor Byers of Ames.
ON TO ROCHESTER.
Delegates Chosen to Student Volunteer Convention.
Twelve students have been chosen by the Christian Associations to represent the University and the churches of Lawrence at the National Student Volunteer convention to be held at Rochester, N. Y., from December 29 to January 2, inclusive. This convention meets but once in four years and over 3,000 delegates from the different parts of the country will be present. Expenses of the delegates are largely paid by the different churches in the city and by the home churches of the delegates at which places reports will be made on the return of the delegates.
The following students are those selected: Misses Clara Converse Grace Elmore, Edith Russell Ruby Briggs, Eleanor Draper and Messrs. James G. Smith,Donald Martindell, Kenneth Munson "Bill" Caldwell, Walter C. Mayer, H. E. Curl, and Frank Ward The Y. M. C. A. secretary, H. C Herman, will attend and Prof. L. E. Sisson will represent the faculty at the convention.
Miss Helen Martin and John P. Shea contributed the program at the regular meeting of Quill club Tuesday afternoon. On December 14 the club will have an open meeting to be addressed by Mr. C. M. Harger, director of the School of Journalism, on the subject of "Magazines From the Inside."
Open Meeting Next Week
Allen Merriam, who was a student in the University last year, is now editing a Kansas news service which is being furnished to Kansas newspapers by W. D. Meng, of Kansas City. After leaving the University Mr. Merriam did newspaper work or the Topeka Capital and the Memphis News-Scimitar.

Kick Column
Editor Kansan.
In the last two weeks the students of the University have been informed of three important things through the columns of your paper. The first was that Coach Mosse had been offered $1,750 to coach the Washburn team. The second that Coach Kennedy has very justly asked for an advance in salary. Lastly the Athletic association has cleared the sum of $8,000 on this year's football season. Now these facts should be combined. Why doesn't the Athletic association loosed up the strings of its well-filled purse and pay out enough to keep the best coaches in the Missouri Valley where we need them. They are men who work as hard for the University as does any one connecteid with it and they would rather be here than any other place. If the Athletic association feel that they can't afford to pay out any of their hard earned cash, raise the price of the Athletic ticket; ahd pass the hat among the students. They will come through.
Dear Editor:
BOOSTER.
I would like to know what rule the Athletic board followed in awarding the Ks to this year's football team. I can not think of any rule the board could have followed that would have included the new men given Ks and excluded some of those who were given no awards. I have known that some of the men who did not receive Ks played in as many games, and in as many halves, and as many minutes as some that did get their letter. It looks to me as though on injustice was done by the board to keep from cheapening the value of the K. To have given V. Smith, Lynch, Davidson and R. Smith Ks would not have cheapened the letter and would have rewerded hard and good players, who deserved the honor.
Editor Kansan:
ROOTER.
Now that all the excitement in the football line is over and postmortems are in order, perhaps a word or two in regard to the accommodations, or rather lack of accommodations provided at the Thanksgiving game may be timely. It seems very peculiar that our athletic manager is unable to compel the tight-fisted owner of Association park to at least provide seating accommodations in return for five thousand cold silver dollars. The alleged bleachers which were built on the south side of Association park were not big enough to seat more than three-quarters of the people who bought seats in them. Modern hen-roosts are constructed with a greater regard to comfort and sanitation. The gates were so small that women were obliged to stand for half an hour in the mud before they were able to get outside of the park. Let's build a stadium or hold the annual game on some virgin hillside, if the managers of our athletic associations and Tebau can't give us something better than Association park.
BUNIONS.

Editor of The Kansan:
If you will permit me the space in the kick column I would like to make a suggestion to the junior class.
dances were passed. The party on the door, who I do not believe was a junior, charged the regular admission for only two-thirds of the dance. Now if they expect to get people to turn out to their parties, I would suggest that they make some reduction for couples coming after a third of the dance is passed.
Last night about thirty couples went to the Junior dance after the show and they found that six

WILL INVOICE PROPERTY.
University Will Check Up on Its Belongings.
E. E. Brown, treasurer and purchasing agent of the university, this week sent out to the heads of all the departments instructions to make a complete invoice of all the University property in their possession before January 1, 1910. This is done for the purpose of getting upon one list every item of apparatus or other property which the University owns.
To carry out this order an immense amount of hard work will be necessary in some departments as in the department of chemistry, for instance, where the equipment consists of a great number of small pieces. The list will include every piece of property the University owns, however small its value.
It has been several years since a similar list was made and the administrative authorities think it is time to make a thorough checking up of the University property.
Sigma Chi Masquerade.

INTER-CLASS MEET SATURDAY
FINAL OF FALL EVENTS IN GYMNASIUM.
An inter-class track meet is to be held in the gymnasium next Saturday afternoon. This is the last of a series of seven interclass and inter-school meets which have been held at the University this fall and will probably be the most closely contested of all.
Meet Promises to Be Exciting- Each Class Has a Large Number of Good Athletes.
Probably 125 men representing the four classes of the University, will compete for honors Saturday. This will include most of this year's 'varsity material, as well as a great many other men who have become interested in track work this fall.
For the freshmen, Patterson, MeMillan, Hisle, Campion, Schwab, the Woodbury boys, and several others will be hard to beat in their respective events. The sophomores will enter Watson, French, Ammons, LeMoine, Kraus and other dependable men. A few of the third-year contestants are: Clark, Hamilton, Haddock, Smith, Grignard and Johnson; who, with 25 or 30 fellow classmates will put in a strong bid for first place. The nucleus of the strong senior team is formed by Badger, Leslie, Appollo, Martindell, and Cooley.
This series of meets is an innovation in track work at the University, and is the idea of Track Coach W. O. Hamilton. "It's the best way in the world to get acquainted with the men and find out what they can do. Then, too, they offer opportunities for new men, who never did any track work, to try themselves out. Am I putting the track men at work too early in the year? Don't you believe it. Missouri has 125 men on her 'varsity squad right now, and we are going to have to hump along some to beat them,'" said Coach Hamilton today.
Dean Kaye of Topeka delivered the address at the vespers services Sunday afternoon on the text "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem." He said that that every true man has a goal which is his Jerusalem. To reach it involves struggle and probably a cross. Dean Kaye mentioned three steps which each one would make of the effort was successful. First, a person must get out of self because a life may be seriously contaminated by selfishness. Next one should get close to Christ and be like him. These two steps would lead into heaven, not primarily a place but the quality of life.

The University orchestra of twenty-two pieces will accompany the cast.
"The Mikado" is a comic opera in two acts and is filled with fun from start to finish. The story is laid in Japan where the punishment for flirting is death. There is bright and snappy chorus work throughout the piece and the production is bound to score a hit. The cast of characters is as follows:
Mikado ...Oliver Andrews.

WON'T LET THEM IN.
Doors to Chemistry Rooms Are Locked to Catch Late Ones.
The stringent rule of the chemistry department with regard to locking the doors of rooms in which Chemistry II is held at the instant the hour begins, and keeping it locked until the roll of the class is taken, worked a hordship on many of the chemistry students yesterday morning. The slippery, stormy weather made the hill hard to climb, and several students got in the hall of the third floor of the building just in time to see the door locked in their faces.
One of these unfortunates said to a Kansas reporter that he missed half his breakfast in order to get to his class on time and that just as he was ready to step in the class room, the eight o'clock whistle began blowing, and he was ruthlessly shut out. He not only lost a point on his grade by being late but was detained so long that he missed the first five minutes of his class work.
Sumner Co. Club Organized,
The students from Sumner county held a meeting a short time ago and organized a county club, Roy Spear was chosen president, Joe Thew vice president, Josephine Hoge secretary, and John Stwart and Foster Hanson treasurer. The club will give the seniors of the Sumner county high school a banquet at Wellington during vacation and will probably play a game of football with the high school team.

Harger, director of the School of Journalism, has been appointed by Mayor Rice of Abidene, as one of that city's delegates to the National Good Roads convention, ot be held in Topeka December 14 and 15. The convention will be largely attended by many classes of men interested in the material progress of the nation. Many prominent railroad officials will make addresses.
Harold Lee, who is suffering from a bad ease of blood poisoning, the result of an injury received while playing football, is reported to be slowly improving. He is still in a very serious condition, however.
A number of '09 Fine Arts girls were entertained by Miss Bertha Kilworth at dinner Thursday evening. The guests were Grace Warren of Garden City, Verna Weidlein of Augusta, Mary Cone and Edith Myers of Lawrence.

TUESDAY, DEC. 7, 1909
Iowa now announces that in the future her football team, like her other athletic teams in the past three years, will schedule contests with the schools of the Chicago rather than of the Missouri Valley conference. Iowa is anxious to stay in the "higher" company and play the "bigger" schools. That is a laudable enough ambition and Kansas students only wish Iowa more success with the "big" schools than she had with the "little" schools in these parts roundabout.
An authentic news item from Columbia states that there are one hundred and fifty athletes training for track at Missouri. Kansas soldom has enough men out to complete a full track team. No wonder the Tigers always romp off with the track meets. If Coach Hamilton forms a winning team here more than a mere handfull of men must get out to practice.
Professor Dyche has almost given up his Mt. McKinley trip because of pressure of his new state work. Maybe he will reconsider the matter after he scales Mt. Oread for a few more days. The ascent of Mt. McKinley ought to be only a spring outing after that.
This is evidently the storm that the weather prophets in the East predicted would hit Kansas City on Thanksgiving day. Would it that it had. It would have been better thus than the way it was.
Are Furnishing Specimen Rooms.
The specimen rooms in the Mining Engineering Building are being fitted up now and will be ready for use about February 1. The new cases are being placed along the sides and are about eight feet high with glass tops and sides. These cases are finished in oak veneer with round pillars supporting the massive moulding. Inside the cases are three levels with four steps to room for all the specimens col-are placed.
The cases are light and are practically dust-proof and give room for all the specimens collected in both mineralogy or geology.

Debate Saturday.
In order to increase the interest ni debating, certain friends of the University have contributed prizes to be awarded by the Debating council for excellence in the try-outs for the inter-state University debates. Three first given, of which one is offered by Prof. W. H. Carruth, another by Watkins National bank and another by the Merchants' association of this city. These prizes will be given to the men taking first place in the three series of try-outs.
Also three second prizes, a Webster's Imperial Dictionary, have been given by Mr. D. L. Rowlands.
The final try-out for places on the Colorado team will take place Saturday afternoon in the chapel. The following men will compete in a regular debate: E. L. Overman, Foster Cline, W. Griffin, George Probst, Streeter Blair and H. Marks. Three of these men will be chosen to compose the regular debating team.
The first tryout for the Oklahoma debate will be held Wednesday, December 15th. The question to be discussed is the same as that for Colorado, the Postal Savings Bank. The Debating council decided that those contestants who were unsuccessful in the second and third tryouts for Colorado will be allowed to enter directly the second tryout for the Oklahoma debate.

SAYS NOT MANY ARE ELIGIBLE
ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE FINDS MANY FAILURES.
24 Per Cent Ineligible Among Organization Members—Should Only Be 7, Say Authorities.
The committee on University organizations other than athletic has completed a table of statistics classifying the members of the various student organizations by classes and by schools and showing how the participants rank in their academic work.
The committee points out especially the large number of students who were at first ineligible sixty-six, out of two hundred and seventy, or 24 per cent of the entire number desiring to participate in the various enterprises. The chairman of the committee said: "The rules of eligibility are enforced in other than athletic organizations with the same strictness that they are in athletics, but there is no reason why as large a per cent as is shown by our report should be ineligible. The fact that 42 percent out of the 66 were able to meet the requirements proves that it is not difficult for students who are behind in their work to remove their conditions. The number who were unable to arrange their work to participate in their respective organizations was thirty-eight. This is altogether too many. The number should not be over 7 per cent at the very most. It is to be hoped that the publication of this table will move students who hope to have a place in university organizations to a more earnest effort to keep their work up to the necessary standard."
Following is the table prepared by the committee on organizations:

AFTER MANY YEARS.
All Things Come to Him Who Waits.
University Missourian.
Stowed away in the archives of the registrar's office for seven years has hain a "Beat Kansas" cartoon that has never been used. It was drawn by a student of the University for the Missouri-Kansas game the year after the victory of 1901. But the score in '02 was in favor of Kansas, and no chance to use it.
The cartoon pictures a large tiger strutting triumphantly across the gridiron, carrying in one paw a Missouri banner and in the other a squirming football player held high in the air. Another tiger stands on his head, while several others rejoice in different ways. In the background the cadet band plays and the air is full of caps and umbrellas thrown up by the enthusiastic rooters.
When at last the time has some, the cartoon can not be used. It is drawn in pencil and does not lend itself to newspaper engraving.
Fred Faragher to Chicago.
Fred W. Faragher, who has held the Alden B. Speare industrial fellowship in chemistry for two years, has received a new appointment from the company and will leave for Chicago the first of the week. Mr. Faragher will have work there similar to what he has been doing here, but he will visit the different plants of the company adjusting difficulties instead of doing laboratory work. He expects, however, to do laboratory work later. Mr. Faragher will return to the University next spring to take the examination for his doctor's degree.
German Conference Met
The members of the German conference held their regular bi monthly meeting at the home of Miss Alberta Corbin, 1108 Ohio street, Thursday evening. Professor Engel took charge of the meeting. He spoke on the different German periodicals and Goebel's edition of Faust, which was then discussed by the members. At the close, he gave a reading in the Pennsylvania Dutch Dialect.
There are now eleven members in the German conference, the number of the faculty of the department of German.
The last tea before the holidays for the young ladies will be given next Friday afternoon, December 10, in the Classical Museum.

The basement of the Gymnasium is soon to be converted into a regulation athletic field—almost. Within the next few weeks, a 40-yard cinder path, 10 feet wide, will be laid along the north wall of the men's locker room and handball court, and the sections of steel lockers which stand in the way of this new running track will be removed to the open space in front of the store-room. Also, sand and sawdust "pits" are to be built on the handball court, for use in the shot-put and pole-vault.
Track Men Will Sink Spikes Into Real Cinders in Gym.
These additions to the gymnasium equipment are intuitable for winter track work. More especially, will the sprinters be benefited, for on the new cinder path they can use their regular out-door spikes and thus do away with the great handicap of having to get accustomed to them late next spring, when the weather grows warm enough for work out-of-doors.

DECIDED UPON RULES OF PLAY
CAREFUL DISTINCTIONS WERE MADE SATURDAY.
Four Such Conferences Were Held-Circular Letters to Be Sent to the High Schools.
At the basket-ball conference Saturday the changes in the rules of the game for this year were discussed and the interpretation of the rules under which the teams represented would play this season were decided upon. Many of the rules this year differ from those of times past and it was necessary for the conference to begin with the very first section and work through the entire book.
Dr. Naismith opened the meeting with a short discussion of the differences between the Eastern and Western view of the sport. "In the East," he said, "very little attention is paid to the lesser fouls, while in the west the care with which they are watched is excessive. In order that the sections may not drift too far apart there is being held today four conferences beside this one. All these conferences, though informal, will make a report to the rules committee."
Manager Lansdon was elected chairman of the meeting and the rules were discussed with the following results:
The A. A. U. rule in regard to out of bounds was adopted instead of the Inter-Collegiate. This permits a man who has just received the ball, and who has a foot on the boundry line, which is out of bounds this year, to at once step inside and put the ball in play.
Dribbling over head and from one player to another is legitimate as is the ordinary form of dribble.
The rule of the Chicago conference that it is allowable to use the body block as a defense against the dribble if the guarding player did not charge was adopted.
The officials for this district are to be chosen two weeks before the game from a list of acceptable men suggested and approved by those present at the conference.
It was decided to send a circular letter to high schools advising the use of the Inter-collegiate rules in their games in order that the players be better acquainted with these rules should they enter college.

The paleontology department is now working on what is considered one of the most valuable finds of last summer's expedition. It is that of a shark, found in the Kansas rocks. What makes it of especial value are the gizzard stones found with the sperimen, for nothing similar has ever been found before. The presence of the stones indicates that they either belong to the shark or that the shark ate Plesiosaur, which measured about forty feet in length. The specimen dates from Niobrara Cretaceous age, or about 20,000 years ago.
