UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN JAYHAWKERS MEET PIKEWAY FIVE NEXT Games Will Probably Settle SouthernDivisionChampionship. WASHINGTON LOOKS STRONG Cayou's Men Paused at Columbia Long Enough to Put Missouri Out of The Running. The battles between Hamilton's Jayhawkers and Cayou's Washington University basket-ball five on Friday and Saturday nights will without doubt settle the championship of the Southern division of the Missouri Valley. The Washington team has been successful in its valley contests thus far this season. Three times they have defeated the Missouri Tigers and once they were defeated by them. If dope goes for anything the Pikeways show a little stronger than the Jayhawkers. They defeated the Tigers twice on the St Louis court by scores of 30 to 12 and 31 to 14. On Monday and Tuesday of this week they invaded the Missouri stronghold and succeeded in breaking even in the two games played there. In the first battle the Washington men were far from their stride and the Missourians took them down 17 to 8. In the second contest however Washington played in form and won 19 to 16. The Pikeway team in the past have been Kansas' strongest opponent in the conference. In 1910 when the K. U. five lacked but one game of being ever victorious in 24 games played it was Washington who spoiled the spotless record by a 16 to 15 victory in St. Louis. The Kansas team must go into this game to win. The tendency to take it easy that has been noticeable on one or two occasions will have to go to the discard or the Jayhawks will find their chance of Conference championship sadly exploded.

Chapin, principal of the Montclair State Normal School, commenting on the agitation that has resulted from the publication of the report of John P.

KANSAS WRESTLERS WILL STAY AT HOME Mat Artists not to Enter Blue Diamond Tournament The Kansas wrestling team will not enter the A. A. U. Wrestling Tournament to be staged under the auspices of the Kansas City Athletic Club the latter part of March. Invitations were extended to the various schools under the Missouri Valley Conference rules. The Athletic Board after considering the offer decided that they would not allow the Kansas grapplers to compete as many of the wrestlers entered are practically professionals and it would not be i keeping with other athletic sport to allow these men to endanger their standing. Arrangements however are being made with several of the Conference schools for staging a dual meet The Kansas grapplers will probably meet those of the University of Missouri sometime in the near future if arrangements can be made.
