KANSAS TOOK FIRST IN MISSOURI SERIES
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1911
WON IN BASKET-BALL BY A SCORE OF 34 TO 28.
Stuckey and Long Did the Stellar Work for Kansas—Cohen the Tiger Star.
The Jayhawk five took the first game of the Kansas-Missouri basket-ball series in Robinson gymnaium last night by a score of 34 to 28. Missouri proved herself the most formidable opponent that Kansas has met this season, but by the excellent team work the light Jayhawks were able to gain a victory over their heavier neighbors.
The stellar goal-shooting o Long and the field goals of Stuckey were the features of the game. In the second half Long made nine straight free-throw goals, Stuckey, who was in at Tommy Johnson's place, made five goals from the field. Heizer, Dousman, and Larsen, by their aggressive work in carrying the ball down the court and by their consistent blocking the Missouri goal-shooters, saved the Jayhawkers from defeat several times during the second half.
At the end of the first half the score stood 13 to 7 in favor of Kansas, but at the beginning of the last half, Parker, the Tiger left forward, started in for a series of field and free goals. It was during this period of the game that the Kansas five showed form in goal shooting, Stuckey, Heizer, and Douseman, each making two baskets. Here the crowd started in to cheer and the hall was in a continuous up-roar until the end of the game.
In the half Parker added thirteen points to the Missouri score. Cohen, the captain of the Tiger five, who made two baskets in the second half, was one of the star players for the visiting team.

BASEBALL OUTLOOK BRIGHT
Eight of Last Year's Varsity Squad Are Eligible.

There are at the present time eight men of the last year's squad who are eligible for the team this year. They are Capt. Haller, Farrell, Heizer, Locke, Wilhelm, Palmer, J. Smith, and Walker. All of the last year's freshman with the possible exception of Hicks who played some semi-professional games this summer, will be eligible so far as the rules of professional ball playing are concerned.

"THE IDLE IDOL"
PROVED A SUCCESS
The Nu Sigma Nu medical fraternity has pledged Henry J. John of Lawrence.
FIRST ORIGINAL COMEDY FAVORABLY RECEIVED.
Interest in the Play Began With the Overture and Lasted Until End.
It was with all the anticipatory excitement that attends the performance of a brand new play that the audience awaited the rising of the curtain. This sense of novelty marked the audience's reception of every part of the play—a keen interest in what was happening on the stage at the moment, and wonder at what was coming next. It was not a critical, but an interested audience and it is to the credit of the play and the performers that the interest did not slacken throughout the three hours that were required for the Idle Idol to get into trouble and out again.
"The Idle Idol," presented at the Bowersock opera house Thursday and Friday nights, was a success in every way. The public was satisfied and pleased with the first musical comedy that students have written, staged and acted, and the student authors and actors were pleased with the highly complimentary reception given the play, for a crowded house saw the performance each night.
The actors had been well trained by Miss Gertrude Mossler and it may be credited to her that the play went through with fewer than the usual number of hitches common to amateur performances. The players also are to be complimented on their work. The songs were cleverly sung, the lines plainly spoken, and it would be hard to tell who were the favorites of the audience All were enceded repeatedly and the chorus as well as the principals deserve credit for the generally favorable impression which the comedy made.
A specialty act which proved of great interest was the feature dance by George Stevens and Harriet Merriam.
The students who collaborated in the production of the songs and book of "The Idle Idol" are George Bowles, Moe Friedman, and Matt Graham. R. E. Gilman and H. Campion wrote one of the songs. Donald McKay managed the production.

But Colored Women Students Will Not Have Council Member.
At a meeting of the Women's Student Government association Thursday it was decided to allow the colored women students of the University to organize a district and elect a district chairman upon the same plan followed by the other district organizations of the Women's Council. They will have no representative on the Council as was rumored in student circles two weeks ago.
Mr. C. A. Gable, who for the past year has been conducting experiments in Kansas for the United States Bureau of Entomology, is doing this work this week in the department of entomology at the University.
SUFFERED SUDDEN ILLNESS
John Curran, a Freshman, Attacked by Muscular Cramp.
John H. Curran, a freshman in the College, suffered a severe attack of muscular cramp last night while returning home from the Sophomore class party. Curran was passing the Sigma Nu house at 1246 Oread when he felt the illness coming upon him. A number of the members of that fraternity cared for him during the night and this morning. This afternoon his condition is not greatly improved and he will probably be removed to a hospital this evening if the attending physicians think it advisable.
Curran entered the University this fall, coming from the State Normal at Emporia. He is a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity.
WHO WILL TAKE THE FIFTY?
A Scholarship Awaits Some Good Sophomore.

THANKSGIVING GAME GOES TO COLUMBIA
DECISION WAS PRACTICALLY REACHED THIS MORNING.
Ratification by K. U. Athletic All That Is Needed to Settle Question Finally.
The next annual Kansas-Missouri football game will be played at Columbia, in all probability. Coach Brewer of Missouri, who is here today with the Tiger basketball five, and Manager W. C. Lansdon, have practically reached that decision. All that remains is the ratification of the University athletic board. A meting of that body will be held Tuesday and the matter will then be definitely settled.
"There is no doubt in my mind," said Manager Lansdon today, "that the game will be played at Columbia next fall. Coach Brewer and I had a conference this morning and the matter will be checked up to the athletic board Tuesday."
"We believe that it is no more than fair that we have the first of the at-home series of Thanksgiving games," was Coach Brewer's statement this morning. "For many years we have been compelled to travel something like 200 miles for the game while you people have been only forty miles away from the seat of battle. That's the reason we asked that the game come to Columbia next fall."
