BALL TOSSERS TO QUINTETTE PLAYS NEW RULES WILL INVADE MISSOURI IN PREACHER TOWN STRENGTHEN OFFENSE
Trip Ends With Two Tiger Contests at Missouri
K. U. HAS 17 GAME SCHEDULE
First Regular Practice For Battery
Try-outs at Four O'clock This
Afternoon.
The men who expect to do the throwing and the receiving for the University baseball team will begin real work this afternoon. At four p. m. all aspiring slabbers will begin to develop glass arms and all wielders of the padded mitt will proceed to contract large joints and other well defined marks of hard earned glory.
Coach Sherwin intends to give all the men a thorough indoor drill be fore the weather opens sufficiently to permit the willing workers to gambol on the green. A large part of the indoor work will be given over to sliding for bases and to bunting practice.
Though quite a collection of rea enthusiasts have been working in the gym for several weeks this is the first call to service from the Kansas coach. After the battery try-out have been given a good lead the other candidates will be called out. This will not be for two weeks at least.
The schedule for the team has been finally decided upon, except for on- date on the home diamond which was left open for some team that might be featured as the Jap collegians were last year.
Seventeen games have already been arranged. Of this number eight are to be played on McCook field. A trip of a week's duration will be taken during the month of May. Several Missouri colleges will be played on this trip ending with two games at Missouri.
The schedule is as follows:
Nebraska has given up her place on the schedule and Missouri is the only Valley school remaining on the K. U. list.
April 1-2 - Missouri at Lawrence
 April 13 - Emporia Normal at Lawrence
April 19-20—Aggies at Manhattan.
April 26-27-Aggies at Lawrence May 1-Baker at Baldwin.

PHI DELTA THETA
GIVES MATINEE MESS
the seventh annual Matinee Mess of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity will be given Saturday afternoon and evening February 12th. This affair is held each year the Saturday before Valentine's day and is primarily for the benefit of the alumni.
The Mess consists of a dance in the afternoon and a dinner in the evening, both of which were originally held at the frat house. The size of the alumni chapter has grown to such an extent, however, that the舞 is now given at Ecke's hall and the Mess is given at the house Carriages will take the guests from the hall to the Phi Delta house. The舞 will last from 3 until 7 o'clock after which a seven course dinner will be served. Besides the active chapter about eight guests will attend.
NOTICE.
If you like bananas, try the banana-nut ice cream at Wiedemann's.
Students who expect for any reason to leave the University at the close of the first semester would do well to call at the office of the Extension Division, number 115, Fraser hall. Arrangements may be made there for the student to continue his studies through correspondence. Many are already planning to carry on their work in this manner.

Goal Tossers Meet Methodists The Second Time
Tonight.
Hamilton's basketball phenoms will meet the Methodist five on the Baker court tonight. This is the second time that the two teams have tangled and from the outcome of the former contest it appears that the boys in red and blue should have an easy time bringing home the change.
The former K. U.-Baker game was the season's opener for the Kansas men. The score of that affair was 45 to 15 with the home lads on the long end. Listen, the Baker center was the only visiting player that showed form.
Even admitting that the Baldwin representatives have improved as much as have the Kansas men, there seems little chance for them. There is no doubt that they are in better trim than when they played here as they trimmed the Aggies by a score almost as large as the one inflicted on the unfortunate farmers by the K. U. ball tossers. The improvement made by Hamilton's team in the past two weeks, however, has been remarkable and the most that the Preachers can hope for is to keep the score down.
One thing that the Kansas men will have to contend with on the Baldwin court is the support of the Baker team. No opposing team is so strong that the Baker students will not try to take the game out of the fire by plenty of rooting. If the K. U. five can stand the test of organized cheering they are at last ready to go after the Valley championship in dead earnest.
Amusements.
"Madame X," the most widely discussed melodia of recent years, which Henry W. Savage has arranged to offer here during the present season, was originally produced at the Theatre Porte Sté Martin late in 1907 under the title "La Femme X" with Mme. Jane Hading in the title role. It scored an instantaneous triumph and was the rage of the French Capitol for over a year. "Madame X" comes here closely following its sensation al runs in Chicago and New York.

This Is the Best Alteration
NEBRASKA MUST DIG UP ALUMNI
Now the manager has received a letter requesting that Nebraska pay to Edward Manley fifty large round silver dollars because he thought of the model first and has a patent or the aforesaid design of goal post.
Mr. Manley states that his usual charge for the use of his design is two hundred dollars, but as Nebraska has had them up for some time, he will find a check for fifty dollars very acceptable just now. No action has been taken by the manager or by the board—Daily Nebraskan.

the Committee Made Says Sherwin
Fresh pop-corn crisp at Wiedemann's.
One of the most peculiar claims ever brought against the University of Nebraska athletic management comes from the office of Edward Manley of Chicago.
Manager E. O. Eager placed a couple of new-fangled goal posts on Nebraska field last fall and those people who sat upon the grandstand and watched the Cornhuskers take the games in gave forth many admiring comments.
"The new football rules look good to me," is the way Coach Sherwin expressed his opinion of the changes made in the college game by the National Football Rules Committee last week.
"The best thing the changed rules will affect, so far as we can tell now, is that the offensive will be made as strong, if not stronger, than the defensive. This will be so, especially since you can now throw the forward pass as far as you want to."
"The change of four downs for the ten yards is a mighty good one, and I am heartily in favor of it," continued the coach, "and it too, will strengthen the offensive, which was very weak last fall when hindered by the shortened forward pass and the twenty vard neutral zone.
PLAY MAY BE MORE OPEN
Field Was Shortened To Allow Use of The Forward Pass on Eastern Gridirons.
"I don't like to see the on-side kick abolished, but the advantages of the freer use of the forward pass ought to make up for this loss."
"Will the changes make the game much more open, or entirely a running game?" the coach was asked.
WHAT GRIGGS SAYS ABOUT THE PRICE OF CIGARS:
Michigan Association Dissatisfied with'Abandonment of Nebraska Game.
As to the shortened field of 100 yards, Coach Sherwin explained that this was necessary to allow free use of the forward pass on the goal lines. "In the east, at Yale and Princeton and other places," he explained, "the enclosure is only large enough for the gridiron. To allow free use of the forward pass, which will scatter the defence, especially on the goal, the playing field had to be cut down to fit the eastern fields, or else you would throw the ball into the cinders or among the spectators."
"We can not tell for sure until we try it, but I think it will tend to open up the play. On the other hand, we can not tell exactly what will happen after they change things all around and cut the rules to pieces about every year. We'll have to try everything out to say for sure."
"On the whole," concluded the Coach, "I like the new rules fine."
The Cigar Habit May Cost the Smoker a Lot of money or it May Cost Him Little. That Depends on the Amount of Money He Cares to, or Can Afford To Spend. If but He Spends little or If He Spends Much It Will Be To His Advantage To Spend It With Griggs, Who Handles Only Standard Goods and Sells them at the Lowest Possible Margin of Profit. TRY him at
The Michigan alumni throughout the middle west are not pleased by the abandonment of the Nebraska-Wolverine football contest. The old grads feel that the contract should have been renewed for a year at least till Michigan demonstrated that the tie game of last season was merely an accident and that Michigan is clearly superior to the Cornhusker school on the gridiron.
THE STORE OF QUALITY, 927 Mass. Street
In a resolution sent to the Michigan authorities the old timers made their stand in the matter very plain After reciting that in the 1911 game Nebraska had made a creditable showing; that the Michigan alumni were largely responsible for the playing and for the success of the contest and that a great deal of unfavorable comment would follow the abandonment of the game on Michigan's part the resolution concluded: "Therefore, be it resolved That it is the sense of the Michigan Alumni Association that the University of Michigan arrange to beat Nebraska in a game of football in the season of 1912."
Squad
NO MORE CIGARETTES DON DOUSMAN RESIGNS
"The man who wishes a place on any team that I coach, varsity or freshman, must train or make way for the fellow who will," said Coach Hamilton to his freshman basketball players last night. Give up the cigarettes or quit the team."
The freshman team th 3 year is the speediest first year organization that has appeared in the history of the school. They give the varsity a run for the money in every practice and are often returned winners over the Kansas stars.
The men who were given suits last night are: Sproul, Dumire, Brown Mirau, Sweeny, Bowers, Weaver Painter, Blincoe, Welsh, Hackney and Spiser. Of these men Weave and Sproul are slated for center position. Brown and Dumnie will be two of the quartette of guards. The other guards and the forward are yet to be chosen.
The first opportunity for the world at large to see the freshmen in action will be given Friday night when the freshmen meet the College five in a curtain raiser of the Missouri-Kansas game.
The cause for the coach's wrath was the discovery of a couple of his future basketball stars indulging in the vile weed. Hamilton gave this warning, last night, before giving out suits to the freshmen who will represent 1915 on the court. From now on the rugged path of training will be asked to turn his suit without further proceedings.
YOST DOES NOT BELIEVE
LEGISLATION THE CURE
Freshmen Basket Ball Men Basket Ball Captain Surrenders Must Train or Quit the Leadership. Will Leave
"I fully believe," so says Yost, "that it is not so much a question of rules and regulations that goes to make athletic contests clean and manly, but it devolves upon those in charge of the various athletic teams of every college and university to maintain a high standard of clean, sportsmanlike competition."
Michigan Coach Says Something Besides Rules is Needed to Purify Athletics.
Fielding H. Yost, Michigan's football coach, believes that athletic contests are not to be made clean and manly through rule tinkering or legislation. Rather he believes those in charge of athletic teams are the ones through whom the standard of athletics is to be improved.

Sehool
Donald J. Dousman, captain of the 1912 basket ball team has resigned his leadership of the Varsity quintette and will leave the University immediately. All this season Dousman has been troubled with a weak heart and has played against the doctors' advice. A severe attack after the Nebraska game led to his decision to quit the game.
His early experience was gained at Manual High School, Kansas City. He was the star guard there for three years and captured the team in his senior year.
"Douse" is one of the star basketball ball players of the Valley. He was chosen All-Conference guard last season, and he was his first year in a college uniform.
Dousman will accept a position in the City Surveyor's office, in Kansas City, Missouri.
ELIGIBILITY OF CHORUS AND ORCHESTRA EXPLAINED
"There is evidently some slight misunderstanding of the recent ruling of the university Council in regard to the eligibility of those who will take part n the Fine Arts Opera," said Professor E. Boodin a member of the Council, his morning.
"The action of the Council was that the members of the orchestra and the chorus of the opera should be allowed to participate in the performance without submitting to any eligibility rules. We believed that their case is similar to that of the band and as this organization is not under the ruling, we made the case for them through the剧院. The cast of the opera is under the same rules of eligibility as are those who take part in any of the dramatic performances."
At the last meeting of the University Council a committee was appointed to work out some practical rules of eligibility for the band and the orchestra.
