TO FORM COLLEGE BASKET-BALL TEAM
WILL PLAY CURTAIN RAISERS TO 'VARSITY GAMES.
Plan Made Because of Restriction to Schedule of Varsity Five— Class Squads, Also.
Owing to the fact that the Missouri Valley Conference ruling does not permit the basket-ball team representing the University to play more than eighteen games in one season, a team is being organized in the department of the College which will have a regular schedule with some of the other schools and colleges in Kansas and Missouri that the University team cannot play. The present plan is to have the games played by the College team as the curtain raisers for the evenings that the varsity five plays. This College team will be selected from the men in the College only, W. O. Hamilton will act as coach.
Plans have also been made for basket-ball teams representing the four classes in the University. Aside from the regular freshman squad of former years, there will be sophomore, junior, and senior teams which will play regular schedules among themselves. The suits for these teams have been ordered by the athletic management and are expected to arrive within a few days. All the teams will elect their own officers and will conduct their organization themselves as much as possible. Coach Hamilton also expects to tutor the class teams. Ten men will form the roll of each squad.
Coach Hamilton says, "We are doing this for the benefit of those men in school who like to play the game but at the same time are not good enough players to make the varsity squad. A great number of men in school would rather play a poorer game themselves than watch a squad of fourteen experts who compose the 'varsity play a good game. It is for these men that we have formulated the plan and we expect this to lead to more complete athletics in the University. In the case of the success of this plan and if the men have enough of the right kind of enthusiasm, not that old "class fight" kind, but a good wholesome enthusiasm between the different departments of the University, we may organize teams to represent the schools."
LAWRENCE VS. FORT SCOTT.
High School Debating League Is at Work.
The inter-scolastic debates which are being held between the members of the Kansas high school debating league, are now taking place in the districts. As the Lawrence high has defeated Bonner Springs and Rosedale, and Fort Scott has defeated Garnett, the contest for championship in this district will be held between Fort Scott and Lawrence.
The department of extension has many calls for clippings to be used by the debating societies. For this reason, donations of magazines of all kinds would be appreciated.
A course of six lectures will begin this month at Emporia. Prof. J.E.Boodin will have charge of the course.
THIRTEEN K. U. OFFICIALS
Former Students Are Selected in Missouri Valley.
The approved list of basket-ball officials of the Missouri Valley conference for 1911 includes the names of thirteen graduates of the University of Kansas. This gives Kansas the greatest number of officials of any school in the Missouri valley. Nebraska and Missouri come next with five each. Iowa has three, Drake and Ames two each, and Haskell, Washington, William Jewell, Cotner (Neb.), Grinnell one each. The are thirty-one other officials who either are graduates of Eastern schools or not accredited from any school, but live in the Missouri valley.
Those approved from Kansas are F. C. Allen, Jay Bond, Alpha Brumage, T. W. Johnson, D. C. Martindell, W. J. Miller, Nels Ocherblad, E. C. Quigley, C. B. Root, Chas. Siler, C. L. Waring, and Earl Woodward. Dr. James Naismith and W. O. Hamilton are also on the approved list as graduates from other schools.
USE OREAD CLAY.
Earth Gathered on the Hill to Be Made Into Pottery.
Clay-working machinery to cost $500 is being installed in the west room of Fowler shops. This apparatus is under the direction of Miss Benson who teaches the classes in clay-modeling and pottery in the School of Fine Arts. The clay can be ground fine, the water pressed out of it, and mixed by the machinery.
The clay which is used is secured along the side of Mount Oread. Thorough tests have proved this domestic clay to be of superior quality.
A Graduate as City Judge.
Robert D. Garver of Topeka, who was graduated from the College in 1900, has been appointed judge of the city court of Topeka by Governor Stubbs to succeed E. R. Simon, who was elected county attorney at the last election. Mr. Garver was one of six candidates whose friends were working to secure the appointment from Governor Stubbs. He is also a graduate of an Albany, N. Y., law school and has been practicing with his father in Topeka under the firm name of Garver & Garver since he was admitted to the bar in 1902.
State Architect Chandler of Topeka was at the University today overseeing the work on the new Administration building. He said that as soon the weather moderated the work on the new building would be resumed.

INSTALL MILLING COURSE
Pennsylvania to Teach Scientific Manufacture of Flour.
The Pennsylvania State College has installed a course in flour milling engineering, thus making Pennsylvania the first state in the Union to establish a course in milling, which will teach young men its scientific methods. Germany and Australia have several schools in which such courses are thriving.
CITY WATER SUPPLIES.
Milling is one of the few large industries of the country into which the college man has entered very little. The general custom in milling has been for a young man to learn the trade and keep at it as learned. A few tradesmen who have inventive genius have made improvements now and then, but no extensive scientific experiments have been conducted for the purpose of improving the process both in economy of manufacture and in perfected product.
Prof. Hoad Talked of Engineering Feats of Ancient Times.
By means of the new course Pennsylvania expects so to teach the scientific method of milling that the men securing that knowledge will, after a few months of practical training, be qualified to do scientific milling by which they will get the best out of the grain and give it to the consumer in the best form. The school will have the full equipment of machinery that is found in the most up-to-date mill and will also have laboratories for testing the products and methods.
Prof. W. C. Hoad spoke in chapel Tuesday morning on the methods used by various ancient cities to secure water for domestic purposes. He described in some detail the tunnel constructed in the eighth century B.C., that Jerusalem might be supplied with water from the natural reservoir separated from the city by a hill. Professor Hoad also told of wells in Egypt and in Yucatan, from which water was laboriously drawn by man or mule power.
Farber----Davis.
Professor Hoad said that the Romans had the advantage over other peoples in building aqueducts because of their knowledge of hydraulic cement.
Minnie Farber of Hoxie, and Brett Davis, both former University students, were married Christmas day. Mr. and Mrs. Davis will make their home in California where Mr. Davis is practicing medicine.
Mary Atwood, a junior in the School of Pharmacy, has returned to the University. Miss Atwood has been absent since Thanksgiving when she was called to her home in Clay Center because of the death of her father.
There was no meeting of the Chemical club yesterday. At the regular meeting next Wednesday Emile Grignard, a senior engineer, will speak on "The Process of Lithographing."
Prof. Erasmus Haworth of the department of geology, spent four days during the holidays at Coffeyville, Independence and Chanute inspecting the oil and ga wells.
Have you tried the College Inn for your eats? It's fine.
Hazel Sanders of Galena, Kan., who was in school here two years ago, is visiting at the Chi Omega house.
