Every night the sixteen men who are trying out for the basket ball team of 1912 are training for the season which opens on Friday night after the return from the Christmas holidays.
Competition for places on the squad has been closer than ever before. More men, who have had experience in playing the college brand of ball, have tried out for the team than in years past, and the prospects for a winning five in the Missouri Valley Conference are good.
Kansas will first play Missouri and Washington University of St. Louis for the championship in the southern division of the Conference, and then, when winner in that division, will meet the victor in the northern half of the Conference in three games that
will decide the championship of the valley.
In the southern part, Washington University is developing a good squad of goal shooters. Missouri lost several of their best men last spring, but will no doubt replace them from their freshman squad. In the northern section, Nebraska is pointed to win the championship with the team that played so well last year. Few of their old men will fail to return, so that their team will be one of veterans again. In ease Kansas and Nebraska tangle for the final contest for the championship, a battle royal is promised by the coaches and men of both schools.
The varsity squad of tryouts has been divided into teams that play scrimmage games after the routine practice every night. The fundamentals of the open "no contact" game are being drilled into the men every night. Practice in dribbling properly, shooting goals, passing and catching the ball is all a part of their work before the games of the evening. Then the squads selected to scrimmage for the evening go on the floor for fifteen minutes of fast playing.
Speed is the element that the Coach is trying to develop now and he is getting it out of the men too. It is said that the form and whirlwind agility with which the men are playing now, rivals that of the varsity last year in mid-season form. The men are tired when they leave the floor, although the games are of only fifteen minutes duration. After the holidays, the first squad will be selected and then will commence that training for endurance that has ever been the strength of Kansas basket ball teams.
The men who are showing best at forward are: Stuckey, a veteran of last year's team, "Red" Brown and Baldwin, both of the freshman team last year, and Kent. For center, three men are doing well: Hite, captain of the
After the selection of the varsity squad, the College team, under the direction of Coach Bond will be organized and a regular schedule will be played with teams in the vicinity of Lawrence. As a curtain raiser for the opening game of the season on the floor in Robinson gymnasium, the College team will play its first game probably with Lindsborg.
College team last year, Boehm. center on the freshman team last year, and Carpenter. Captain Dousman, Greenlees, and Smith are running a close race for permanent position at guard.
The regular December meeting of the Iota Chapter of the Sigma Xi will be held at the residence of Prof. C. H. Ashton Thursday evening at 8 o'clock. Dr. L. V. Redman, Frank P. Brock and Archie J. Weith will present a paper on "Phenal Condensation—Products and Their Industrial Application."
The earthquake which occurred in Mexico last Saturday was recorded on the seismograph here. As shown on the instrument the quake lasted two and one-half hours and the height of the disturbance was at 1:20 p.m. The oscelatory movements were mostly from north to south.
JAYHAWKER COSTS $2.50
Aside from these, two teams representing the University and the College, several other teams will be organized for the students of the four classes and in the various schools. Already the freshman are divided into school teams representing the College Law and Engineering. Each one of the schools of the University will have its team. Games between the class teams and the school teams will be played regularly.

Tickets go on Sale After Christmas Holidays.
QUAKE RECORDED HERE
The tickets for the Jayhawker will be put on sale immediately after the holidays. The price will be $2.50 and will remain so until February 15.
Harold Brownlee, treasurer of the Senior class and his committee will sell the tickets in connection with the managers.
"Heretofore it has been the custom to put the tickets on sale afer the holidays," said Clark Wallace, manager of the annual. "but this year the annual board and the class think that it ought to have more to work on so as not to take chances on the number of books sold. The regular price of the Jayhawker is $2.50 but all those who do not buy their tickets before February 15 will have to pay $2.75."
Manager Wallace also wants all pictures of Seniors and school organizations handed to the annual board by February 15.
Fifteen gallons of raspberry punch were wasted at the Law Scrimmage last Friday night. No, the bottles didn't break nor did some unthinking engineers steal away with the beverage.
The fact is that Burton Sears was the custodian of the liquid and it was entrusted to him to see that guests were plentifully supplied with refreshing drinks. Entranced by sweet music and thoroughly carried away by the pleasure of the evening he forgot his charge and allowed the punch to repose untouched until the morning after the Serim.
FORGOT THE PUNCH
15 Gallons Were Not Served at Law Scrim.
It was found next morning by the decoration committee who had come to the hall to clean up after the festivities. Seven gallons of punch were returned to Wiedemann's.
BUZZ-SAW WORKED AGAIN
And Now Professor Flint Wears Large Bandage.

He put up his face.
He put up his face So near to the place.
The Doctor said, "Where did his jaw go?"
Christmas is near and Professor Flint's little son wanted Santa Claus to bring him some building blocks. Although the Professor is a newspaper man, but not from Chicago, he had some inclination towards the carpenter shop. Accordingly he tried the buzz saw at Fowler shop—and the block did the rest. Two stitches were taken to close the wound.
The windows in Fowler shops that are in a line with the buzz saw are perforated from blocks of wood that have gone through on hurried trips. Yesterday Prof, L. N. Flint of the department of Journalism, got in line with this machine and suffered a bad cut on the forehead.
Now the craftsmen at the shops are telling Mr. Flint just how to stand in front of a buzz saw when cutting blocks.
