WASHBURN DEFEATED BY NARROW MARGIN
College Five Won Opening Game of the Basketball Season.
COLLEGE 32-WASHBURN 30.
Visitors Could Not Overcome Lead
Taken by the Locals Early
in The Game.
The College basketball-basket team won the opening game of the 1912 season played yesterday afternoon in Robinson Gymnasium. The final whistle found the score 32 to 30 with the Ichabods on the short end.
Though the game could not be called sensational there were many bright spots in the play of both teams. Likewise there were many spots that were very dark.
The opening of the game was lopsided, it was College, all the way. The Washburn men appeared lost on the big court and before they had made themselves comfortable the locals had accumulated several points.
The second period told a different story. It was the Washburn men who were tearing things up and the Kansans who were struggling, not very successfully to get their bearings.
The greatest fault of the visitors was a remarkable inability to stay on their feet at critical times. A Blue player would poise himself to toss a basket and then, crash, lost poise and with it a chance to score.
For the Kansans Hite played the best game. His work at forward shows him to be a dangerous contestant for a varsity position. Crawford also played well and shot several difficult baskets. Smiley and McNish were easily the Washburn stars. They scored most of the points for their team and at the same time showed a disposition to play their own positions, an inclination sadly lacking in some of their team mates.

BOB-SLEDS ARE LOADED
TO GUARDIANS EVERY EVENING
The enforced vacation, that came with the cold weather, afforded the students ample opportunity for coasting. Many of the student boarding clubs and the fraternities own "bob-sled" and all of these are kept busy in the evenings.
On Lee street the "bob-sleds" travel at express train speed from Oread to New York and New Jersey streets, five or six blocks east of Massachusetts.
It is estimated that the ride of over a half mile is made in far less than a minute.
DON HENDRICKSON VERY ILL
Donald C. Hendrickson, president of the freshman class last year, is in El Paso, Texas, very low with tuber coliosis.
Mr. Hendrickson came to the University last year from Central high school in Kansas City and in his physic$^1$ examination Dr. Naismith reported that he had one of the best physiques in the University. He was one of the best hurlers in the University though he did not excel in that event while here.
LEE TALBOT WILL BAKER GAME OPENS
GIVE EXHIBITION 'VARSITY SEASON
Kansas City's Star Weight Man to be Here
Friday.
Lee Talbot, who was a member of the 1908 American Olympic team, and who for many years held the in-
terscholastic records in all weight events will give an exhibition in Robinson gymnasium Friday afternoon.
The coming of Mr. Talbot is a step furthering a recently adopted policy of the department of physical education.
Leaders in various activities will be brought to the University and the local men will be given an opportunity to participate. The men of recognized athletic attainment
Last year F. H. Porter a high jumper of wide reputation, also a member of American Olympic team, gave an exhibition of the various forms in jumping.
MID-WINTER FOOTBALL
Wisconsin Teams Will Show Result of Compulsory Gridiron Game.
In a football game to be played February 22 the physical training department of the University of Colorado will compute the results of winter football.
For several months past a large squad of men have been required to take a course in football, instead of their regular work in the gymnasium. The work done thus far has mainly, in kicking, running and tackling. From now on teams will be selected and the men given a chance to show what they can do in actually playing the game.
Compulsory football was adopted at Wisconsin for two reasons. The one merely to get the boys out of the gymnasium and to accustom them to work outside; the other to develop material that might be of service when the next football season begins. In both of these particulars the experiment has been successful. The boys take far more interest in the outdoor football than in the old gym drills and at the same time several strong candidates for next season's varsity have appeared.
TROPHY ROOM TO BE LOCKED
Vandals' Work Causes Privileges in
The Gym to be Revoked
It has been discovered that vandals had entered the trophy room in Robinson gymnasium and had scratched and cut initials in three different places on the panels of the walls. Two of the cuts were so deep that they were plainly visible from the opposite side of the room and the third was scratched in such a manner that it will be impossible to hide it by polishing.
A committee is looking into the affair and in all probability the persons who committed the vandalism will be brought to account. In the meantime the trophy room will be kept locked.
Shortly before the Christmas holidays it was requested of Dr. Naismith, head of the physical training department, that the trophy room be kept open for the benefit of the students and the visiting public. On account of the expensive finishing and the value of the contents the room had been locked and all those who wished to see what it contained were permitted to look through the windows from the outside hall. However Dr. Naismith consented to admit the public as long as the room was properly treated.
Eight o'clock classes and monthly conventices in the armory are among President Vincent's innovations at the University of Minnesota.

Today's Game the First of a Long Sched-
Kansas Season Ends at Lincoln in
March—Will Play Two Games
The basket-ball game this afternoon will be the opener of the Kansas varsity team's schedule. From now until March, Hamilton's goal tossers will be very busy men.
With K, C. A. C.
The game this afternoon may almost be called an experiment. Both the K. U. team and the Baker aggregation are unknown quantities.
The Kansas team also is a new one. Only Captain Douseman and Stuckey, the star of last year's five, have worn the varsity uniform before this season. Others on the team have had much experience on the College and freshmen teams be fore they graduated to the varsity.
Baker's team has been built around one man, Captain Listen. He is the only man on the Methodist squad who is an experienced player The Baker team will not be in its full strength as it will go into action minus two of its regulars who are barred from the Kansas game by the conference rule.
Friday of next week The Kansas City Athletic Club, Kansas' old rival for highest honors in the west will appear on the local court and the following night the strong team from the Agricultural College will make their bow.
The Nebraska team comes here for the first games of the conference schedule, Friday and Saturday nights. Nebraska is represented as having a team fully as strong as last year's aggregation.
Kansas's longest trip will come late in February when Washington and Missouri will be played on their home courts. After a week at home the team will then move to Manhattan and hence to Lincoln, where they will finish the season.
The complete schedule of the varsity five is as follows:

LEE'S COLLEGE INN
SUITS FOR KANSAS ATHLETES
Varsity And College Basket-ball Teams Appear in New Uniforms.
The varsity and College basket-
ball teams appeared in their new
uniforms yesterday for the first
time.
The College team wears the ree and black suits and the varsity wears the University colors. The suits are of about the same quality, in each case there is a red band around the dark colored body.
The large white numbers on the back of the varsity suits are according to the rule made by the conference so there would be no confusion in the goals and the number of fouls committed.
Yale's First Diploma.
In the recently discovered catalogue of Williams College for 1795 there appears a record of the original diploma granted by Yale in 1790 to Edward Griffin, late president of Williams, and signed by President Ezra Stiles of Yale in 1790.

National Collegiate Association Beneath the Amateur Spirit Standard.
The National College Association have set a new standard of professionalism for the man who just will play ball out of school hours.
The amateur spirit rule means just this: Men who wish to play summer base ball may do so as long as they do not receive compensation That is to say; they can play "for fun."
Enter the "Amateur spirit rule."
It is very simple if you understand it.
The fact that there are other men on the team who receive money for their services in no way affects the teams, so you choose who chooses to play for glory alone.
To Be Quite Frank

Horace: Book III, Ode 15 "Uxor pauperis Ibyci."
Your conduct, naughty Chorie, is
Not just exactly Horace's
Ideal of a lady
At the shady
Time of life;
You mustn't throw your soul away
On foolishness, like Pholo—
Her days are folly-laden—
She's a maiden,
You're a wife.
(A Pasteurization of Ode VIL)
How many kisses, Lesbia, miss, you ask would be enough for me?
I cannot sum the total number; nay, that were too tough for me.
The sands that o'er Cyrene's shore lie sweetly odoriferous.
The stars that sprent the firmament when overly stilferulous—Come, Lezzy, please add all these, until the whole amount of 'em
Will sorely vex the rubbernecks attempting to keep count of 'em.
