OUTLOOK IS POOR FOR BASKET BALL
THREE OF EXPERIENCED PLAYERS OUT OF GAME.
Johnson Is Crippled and Woodward and Van der Vries Out of School.
Tommy Johnson, basket-ball forward, in a crippled condition, and a long football season before him; Earl Woodward, ex-captain and dependable guard, graduated; Ed Van der Vries, forward, out of school—that is the state of affairs in University basket-ball circles. Last year's champion team has been sadly weakened, with two forwards and a guard out of the game.
Tommy Johnson is now in the hospital corps of the football squad. The "wise" ones predict a physical breakdown for the star quarter before the basket-ball season is reached. With Johnson out of the College five, the chances for another champion team are weakened. Verne Long still remains at the other forward position. Tod Woodbury, of last year's freshman team, and George Stuckey of the '10 squad, are the only men who have appeared as likely candidates for the forward position.
Wheelock, the freshman star guard, is picked by authorities to fill the hole left by Woodward. He is an experienced man at the guard position and it is believed he will soon get accustomed to the intercollegiate style of play. He is heavy and says he can easily stand the strain.
Coach Hamilton believes that he will turn out a good team in spite of the unlooked for fatalities that have struck his last year's team.
"It all depends," said the coach, "on how well the new men fit in with Long, Heizer—and Johnson, if he is in the game. Howeve, I cannot predict a good team until the practice work begins."
The schedule this year will un doubtedly be practically the same as that of last year.
MOVED SEISMOGRAPH
Earthquake Machine Has New Quarters in Vault.
The University seismograph was moved Tuesday afternoon to the new vault built especially for it last summer in the north basement of Fraser Hall. Professors M.E. Rice and H.P.Cady did the job and they are now ready to handle all kinds of staple and fancy earthquakes at the new stand.
"The concrete pier that the instrument rests on goes twelve feet to the solid rock," said Professor Cady. "but that is not the reason it is being moved, as the old pier was as good. In a dark vault, with walls two feet thick, the possibilities of the record being disturbed are much smaller than has been the case heretoref."

THE STRAIGHT ROAD
IN business the easiest way for us----if we were thinking of the present alone----would be to sell clothes that pay us swollen profits; explain away faults; employ salesmen skilled in selling you, not what you want, but what we want you to buy.
But that idea doesn't prevail here-because our success comes from sale after sale; from holding old customers as well as new ones-and because we are here to stay.
If service and quality, right values and true economy is your idea, you'll find this Store a good place to buy.
That idea is woven, sewed and shaped into every style of clothes from
The House of Kuppenheimer
which we are showing. And it's a big array. The choicest, crispiest styles for Fall and Winter.
The new Ideas—rational, clean-cut and distinctive.
Whatever your age whatever your taste you'll find your model here and tailored to perfection.

SEEK FILTER SAND.
New Course Added to Analyze Kansas Deposits.
Sanitary laboratory is a one hour course of study that has just been added to the School of Engineering through the combined efforts of Professors W. C. Hoad and H. Gardner. Short methods of analyzing waters is the main object of the course.
However, there is another piece of work that these men wish to accomplish in connection with the laboratory. This is the testing of Kansas sand in hopes of finding something just as good at that which is now shipped in Pro a Redwing, Minn., to be used in servers and water filters. Only one sample of sand is now present in the laboratory, but a large collection will be made as soon as possible, and then the analyses will begin. The class is scheduled only for this semester and is under the direction of Professor Gardner.
