KANSAS AGAIN IN THE LEAD
NUMBER 54
MISSOURI WALLOPED WASHINGTON LAST NIGHT.
Jayhawkers Put in Their Last Practice for Washington Games Saturday and Monday Nights
SOUTHERN DIVISION.
Won Lost Pet.
Kansas 4 2 666
Washington 3 2 600
Missouri 2 5 285
In Columbia last night the Tigers walloped the Washington University team 32 to 16. The Tigers had every thing their own way from the start. The result of this game goes to show that the St. Louis team cannot play its ordinary great game off its own court.
If Washington wins tonight from Missouri Kansas will have to win both the Washington games here to win the championship. A tie will result in case the two teams break even.
The Jayhawker basket ball team practiced for the last time yesterday afternoon before the final games of the southern section championship series to be played in Robinson gymnasium Saturday night and Monday afternoon with Washington University. "Phog" Allen was up from Kansas City and was well pleased with the working of the team. All the men have worked out the soreness resulting from the hard trip of last week and are more than ready to take on the Washington aggregation.
Saturday evening as a curtain raiser to the big game the freshman team will play a team from Central high school of Kansas City. Monday afternoon before the big game the freshmen will tangle with a team from Emporia College.
There have already been nine games of basket ball this season but the student enterprise tickets will be good for each game although there is but one check left.
The principal features of the musical vesper service on Sunday afternoon will be a scene from Guonod's Redemption, consisting of. Recit. Tenor, "Jesus appearing to the apostles." Recit. Tenor, the ascension; Chorus, Unfold, ye Portals; Soprano Solo and Chorus, "Lovely appear." Professor Prayer. will play a piano prelude," Song with out words from Sinding. The postlude will be cavatina from Raff for piano, organ and violin.

Y. W. REVISES CONSTITUTION
Mrs. W. H. Johnson and Mrs. R. K. Duncan on Advising Board
---
The Y. W. C. A. occupied their regular meeting hour last Wednesday afternoon with their annual business session. The committee on revision of the constitution suggested a number of changes which were adopted. The election of officers will hereafter occur later in the spring and instead of taking charge of the work at once, the new officers will not assume their duties until the next fall. In accordance with this plan, Miss Nadia Thomas will continue as president during the remainder of this school year.
Mrs. W. H. Johnson and Mrs. R.K. Duncan were selected to fill the vacancies in the advisory board.
COMMITTEE KILLED ANTI-FRAT BILL
The anti-fraternity bill introduced by Representative Lot Ravenscraft, of Ashland, at the state legislature did not receive the approval of the committee on educational institutions to which it was submitted for examination. It has been reported to the house of representatives as "dead."
The need of the bill has been discussed widely over the state and from all the information that can be gathered most of the sentiment in favor of it came from a district where the inhabitants are slightly acquainted with the conditions as they exist here.
The purpose of the bill was to prohibit students in state schools from joining fraternities. It provided for the fining of the Board of Regents of the University in case it was found that students were being permitted to join these secret societies. The bill was found impracticable. Many of the legislators, at the time of the visit of the legislature here, inquired into the conditions of fraternities and found the members as a rule attaining a high standard of scholarship and furthermore that they are not a lot of rich men's sons here just to spend money, wear odd togery and smoke cigarettes.
B. J. Sheridan Speaks Friday.
B. J. Sheridan, editor of the Western Spirit, of Paola and Democratic candidate for congress from the second district in the last election will speak in chapel and talk to the news reporting classes tomorrow.
ARRANGES BASE BALL SCHEDULE
MANAGER LANSDON WILL SUBMIT PLANS TO BOARD.
Nineteen Games With Missouri Valley Teams—Kansas Will Play all but Iowa.
Manager Lansdon has arranged for a base ball schedule which he will submit to the schedule committee of the athletic board for ratification next week. The schedule contains one more game than the new rules of the Missouri Valley Conference permit but the contracts were closed before the rule was passed.
The schedule as is now arranged has all the home games, except two at the end of the season, in the last two weeks of April and the first weeks of May. Beginning with the 14th of May the team will take a trip and play Nebraska, Drake, Ames, Missouri, and Washington. Iowa University is the only conference team not played.
Until the recent rule passed by the Missouri Valley conference limiting the number of games to eighteen, Manager Lansdon had been planning to take the team on a week's trip to Texas during Easter vacation. This proposition has been given up and the early April trip will be the only one besides the big trip in May.

MANDOLIN CLUB AGAIN.
Reorganizes, and Will Give Concert in Fraternal Aid Hall.
Monday afternoon the old members of last year's Mandolin club met and reorganized. Heim Goldman, who directed the club last year, will have charge of it again this year. The management of the club will be under the control of C.G.Eddy, who took the club on the two week's trip last year.
A list of the names of all of last year's members who are in school this year has been handed to the eligibility committee and as soon as this committee acts the club will begin practicing. Tryouts may be held next week for candidates who can play the mandolin.
Either the last week in March or the first one in April the club will give a concert in Fraternal Aid hall. Every man who plays in this concert will be awarded a pin. This will be granted by the faculty committee but purchased by the club members.
The club will not take a trip this year. It has been reorganized to hold its place in the list of student organizations so that it will receive its share of the fund derived from the sale of student enterprise tickets and so that the club will be on good footing for next year.
NEBRASKA GETS NORTHERN TITLE
Ames, by defeating Drake last Saturday, gave the championship of the northern division of the conference to Nebraska University. Had Drake won the two games scheduled with Ames the race would have been a tie.
The standing now is:
The following table shows the number of wins and losses for the four players. The numbers in brackets represent the Pet.
Nebraska 5 3 625
Drake 3 4 429
Ames 3 4 429
