WEATHER MAN LET GOAL SHOOTERS PLAY
College Meets Washburn this Afternoon—Baker Opens 'Varsity Season.
The battle between the weather man and Manager Hamilton is over. The weather man took down second money.
As a result of Hamilton's victory, the College five will open the 1912 basket-ball season, when they meet the Washburn team at Robinson gymnasium this afternoon.
None but the Coach himself can tell of the terrible struggle that preceded his victory. He alone knows of the telephone bills paid and of the telegrams sent from the time the games scheduled for last week were postponed till they were re-arranged.
Excitement is Promised.
The game this afternoon promises to be exciting at least. The Washburn team is composed of veterans and rightfully should have had a place on the varsity schedule. This was prevented by the eighteen game rule of the Missouri Valley conference.
The Kansas men who will play the game this afternoon will be: Hite, Smith, Carpenter, Brown, Crawford, Eisele, Ebner and Beamer.
"Many of these men are of varisity calibre," said Coach Hamilton, "and

LABORATORY METHOD FOOTBALL CHANGES FOR BASKET BALL AGAIN CONSIDERED
Missouri Valley Coaches Try Out the Rules at Des Moines.
The laboratory method has spread even to Athletics.
The method of analysis used by the basket-ball coaches and officials at Des Moines during the holidays would have pleased Doctor Wiley himself.
A conference meeting held at Kansas City in December decided what rules would govern the indoor game in the valley this season, but split upon how they should be interpreted.
At that time there was great variance of opinion as to what was rough play and what was not, and it was to finally settle this question that the Des Moines meeting was called.
At this game all the men present were given a tryout as officials and when play was over, the decisions made in all questionable cases were reviewed and discussed. A majority interpretation of the rule covering the question was then adopted by the meeting.
The sixteen officials present decided that the best way to reach a decision in the matter was to solve the problems as they would be presented in an actual game. To this end a game was arranged between the Des Moines College team and the Drake five.
"The plan was very successful," said Coach Hamlin. "By giving each man a chance to show how he would run things we settled many disputes and came nearer a complete agreement about fouls and oper play than we could have by any amount of mere discussion. It will certainly go a long way toward making certain standard rules for coaches and officials."

Until they have played their first game under K. U. colors they are eligible to the College team."
Varsity in Action Tomorrow.
Tomorrow afternoon will be the first day Hamilton's men will meet the five from Hamilton's gym at three o'clock.
This is the first time that Baker has played under the Conference rules and they will not be in their full strength. Captain Liston is the only orange and black player who has appeared before on the local court.
The Kansas team will be in its full strength for this game.
Both the game today and that tomorrow will be played in the afternoon commencing at three thirty.
The Cornhuskers come here Friday and Saturday for the first conference games.

National Collegiate Athletic Association Holds Meeting in New York City.
"In my opinion the critical situation in the football world is at hand," said James Naismith, head of the department of Physical Education, today. "A choice must be made. Either the old style of play must return or the entirely open game be adopted."
Dr. Naismith has returned from a meeting of the National Collegiate Association held in New York. In the meetings of the committee athletics, generally, were discussed. Not only colleges and universities were considered, but the organization and control of sport in secondary schools, athletic clubs, societies and in the Y. M. C. A. was investigated by the
The football situation through the country was the principal theme discussed in the meeting. The schools, colleges, and conferences that are members of the association were all represented and the many suggestions made by their representatives will be later considered by the rules committee, which meets in a few weeks.
Y. M, C. A, was investigated by the association.
The general opinion of the association was that the old style football should be abolished entirely and the open game further developed. It was agreed that the greatest objections to football were being gradually overcome by the new game, and it was pointed out that only four fatalities this year could be directly traced to football. No deaths or fatal injuries occurred in college games.
Among the suggestions offered for the consideration of the rules committee was that of eliminating the five yard run back and the twenty yard throw of the forward pass. This suggestion was made by Dr. Williams of Minnesota, who advocated it as a means of strengthening offensive play. Steps were also taken for the return of "the quarterback and onside kicks.
Some of the advocates of the old game desired the re-instatement of the five yard in three downs rule, when the ball was inside the twenty-five yard line. The proposition of making the distance to be gained seven instead of ten yards was also considered. Both these changes were objected to by the majority as bringing back the old line smashing style of play.
STUEWE TO K. S. A. C.
Promising Candidate for Fullback Position will Attend Agricultural College.
Edward "Butch" Stuewe, one of the most promising candidates for a backfield position on the 1911 football team, has enrolled in the State Agricultural College.
Stuewe was threatened with an attack of typhoid fever early in the football season and was forced to go to his home at Alma, Kansas.
Should he return to the University next fall he will be ineligible for football under the conference ruling concerning men transferring from other schools. It is probable that Stuew will take no part in athletics while at Manhattan.
