LOOK FOR A FIGHT
CORNHUSKERS EXPECTED TO PUT UP HARD GAMES.
The last series of games on the varsity basket-ball schedule to be played on the home court in Robinson gymnasium this year will be contested with the University of Nebraska next Friday and Saturday nights. The last two times that the students will be able to see the varsity five in action this year are expected to be close and exciting contests. Nebraska has made no great record this year, but they have been playing close games with some of the best teams in the Missouri valley and also with some of the teams of the Western conference
To Avenge Former Defeats Nebraskans Must Beat Kansas This Week.
The great rivalry between the students of the two schools will probably break forth with all its pent up force the night of the first game. The Nebraska boys are determined to win at least one of the games of this series in order to maintain the athletic honor of their school. It has been three years since the Cornhusker five has returned to Lincoln with the victory over the Jayhawker attached to its string. Kansas won all four games of last year's schedule, despite the face that Nebraska had one of the best squads that they have had in recent years. This year, the sting of the defeat on the football field lends an incentive to rouse the K U. five to further efforts in order to retrieve the reputation of the school on the basket-ball court. Hamilton's men have proved themselves to be as good as the school has ever had and the dope points toward a Kansas victory. Missouri defeated Nebraska last night by a good lead
"I know little about the Corn husker squad this season," said Coach W. O. Hamilton. "They defeated the Ames team in the first game by a large score and that aggregation carried off the victory on the following night by a close margin. In both their games with Minnesota, they held the score very low, even though they were defeated in both contests. I think that the contest will be close, but the playing will probably be clean and free from rough work. One fact that seasoquo s. assuqeq N. aprepui at victory is that they lost two of their best men this year in Perry, who was a star guard, and Petrashek, who plays center.
"I am giving our men a rest this week in preparation for the trip which will begin next week. Every man on the squad is in the best condition possible and I expect them to win these games by good margins in the score."
NUMBER 52
As a curtain raiser to the game Saturday night, the College team will play a return game with the Kansas City Y. M. C. A. Tiger team. The members of the department squad are out for revenge on account of the defeat last night, so a fast contest is expected.
Prof. G. A. Gesoll will speak at Holowel Saturday.
A KANSAS ORATOR.
Captain "Joe" Waters of Topeka Will Speak in Chapel.
Captain Joseph G. Waters of Topeka, will speak in chapel Friday morning. His original wit and ready satire have marked him as a fearless character among speakers in Kansas. For many years he has been in great demand as a public and after-dinner speaker.
He has been engaged in the practice of law for over thirty years and now enjoys one of the most extensive practices of the state. He is also a criminal lawyer of great ability and has been engaged as attorney in some of the most important cases that have ever been tried in Kansas.

FENCING AND BOXING.
Dr. Naismith Would Organize Classes for Sport Lovers.
Dr. Naismith will organize a class in fencing and boxing in the near future, if enough of the men in the University are interested in these sports to make the plan practicable. There has been a demand for such classes of this sort every year, but heretofore Dr. Naismith has not considered that enough men would take part to make the effort worth while.
At other schools boxing and fencing clubs exist that hold tournaments every year and give exhibitions. It is the present purpose of Dr. Naismith to arrange for a tournament to be held next spring.

Sachems Will Meet.
COUNCIL IS OPPOSED
DOESN'T WANT TO HANDLE ELIGIBILITY.
At the Meeting Tuesday Night Only One Member Favored Action by the Council.
It was decided, after an evening of argument, to invite the members of the Athletic Board to attend a conference with the Council next Tuesday night and to defer all action until after the conference is held.
The Student Council is much opposed to making a home for the little foundling which the Athletic Board has left on its doorstep. When the question of baseball eligibility came up at the meeting of the Council Tuesday night, the only member who favored having the Council undertake any work of athletic administration was "Mike" Lynch. Several other members devoted the evening to trying to argue "Mike" out of his position.
The consensus of opinion seemed to be that the Athletic Board was asking the Council to take up work which the Board is as fully competent to perform as the Council.
"The Athletic Board is lazy. The members aren't willing to attend to the work they are especially empowered to do," is the way one Council member put it. The Council seemed to want it understand that it is no fonder of work that is the Athletic Board.
Lynch vainly argued in favor of having the Council take a stand in favor of the amateur rules.
J. T. Chafin, of the Swope Settlement, of Kansas City will speak at Myers hall, this evening at 6:45.
A SETTLEMENT TALK.
J. T. Chafin Will Tell "How the Other Half Lives."
"The Athletic Board got athletics into all this trouble, now let the Board find the remedy," said one member of the Council
So, Lynch was a lonesome minority of one in favor of the assumption of responsibility. McKay and Zoellner led the chorus of objections against it.
"No student ever complained that an athlete was violating his amateur standing," said McKay. "They want all the men to play who can and they kick when one is ruled out for professionalism." "Let's call a meeting and see if the students want amateurs to represent them," suggested Lynch.
Notice.
Mr. Chafin has chosen as his subject, "How the Other Half Lives." He has had a great deal of experience among the poor settlements of Kansas City and an interesting talk is expected.
The first tryout for the sophomore fare will be held in room 110. Fraser hall at 7:30 tonight.
Prof. L. E. Sayre, dean of the School of Pharmacy ,went to Topeka yesterday to do some work for the Kansas Academy of Science, of which organization he is a member.
WRESTLERS ORGANIZE.
Gymnasium Director Will Instruct Three Classes.
A wrestling club will be organized by C. B. Root next Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 in the gymnasium. The members will be divided into three classes according to weight, as follows: Light-weight for those weighing less than 135 pounds; middle weight, 135 to 158; and heavy weight for those weighing over 158 pounds.
In May a tournament will be held to decide the best wrestler in each class. The three winners of each division wrestle for the championship of the University. Apropriate medals will be awarded which will be paid for by charging a membership fee off twenty-five cents.
The class will met every Wednesday afternoon at 4:30. There are already a dozen men who have signified their intention of joining.
. SECOND STORY STARTED.
Work Progressing Rapidly on Administration Building.
K. K. CLUB DISBANDS.
The work on the new administration building is progressing as rapidly as the weather will permit. The brick work with its terra cotta facing is well advanced toward the second story, it being nearly the required height on the north and east sides The erection of the forms for the second floor has begun and the forms for the supporting columns are in place.
Members Differed on Question "Literary or Social—Which?"
The false work supporting the concrete for the first floor is being removed in order to make room for the false work that will support the forms for the stairways leading from the first floor to the basement.
Anna Savage entertained the girls of her district Wednesday night with a valentine party. About thirty girls were present and spent an enjoyable evening making valentines and trying their skill in an archery contest.
It is reported that few of the old members will reorganize and carry out the social side.
Mary Bass, of the class of 1910 from McPherson, Kan., is visiting this week with friends at the University.
Prof. W. H. Johnson, the high school visitor, has been sick the past few days with la gripe.
At a recent meeting of the K. K. society, held at Myers hall, it was the unanimous vote of the members present to disband. The society was organized about two years ago and was to be a literary society. Some of the members wanted to make it more of a social organization, and this with a few other differences, caused the club to disband.
John T. Stewart, a senior in the College from Wellington, was called home Wednesday on account of the death of his sister.
