READY FOR GAMES
Next Week Basketball Meet Is
Held at X. c.
Nine Girls Teams Already En-.
tered for Contest.

Lawrence. Kan. March 9.-Exten-
sive plans are being made here for
the annual interseholastic basketball
tournament which is scheduled for
The meet is given under the auspices
of the University of Kansas Athletic
association or physical culture de-
partment. The details of the meet
are being arranged by Manager Ham
ilton and more elaborate prepara-
tions for entertaining the high school
visitors are being made than ever be-
fore. Already Is teams have been
entered and it is expected that before
the first of next week more than 30
high schools from every section in
the state will have been entered
The meet will be held on Friday and
Saturday, March Is and 16.
The annual University of Kansas
basketball tournament is the largest
gathering of basketball teams in the
world and undoubtedly one of the
most enthusiastic. 1t has been held
here annually for number of years
and in several respects has exceeded
the annual interscholastic track meet.
This is especially true in regard to
numbers in attendance and interest
manifested.
Presents for Winning Teams.
The winning teams will be pre-
scented with large silver loving cups
and the fives winning second place
will be awarded the basketballs used
in the championship contests rhe
officials have not been selected, but
will be chosen from disinterested
schools. The visiting athletes will be
given all of their expenses while in
Lawrence and a part of the gate re-
ceipts will be set apart to be applied
TO the railroad fare.
In the tournament last year ten
girl teams were represented and 21
fives of the opposite sex. A rather
peculiar feature of the meet is the
ct that the Chanute girl team has
won the girls championship for the
pa st two years while the Basketball
SuffraGettes' from Reno have sue
ceeded in taking second honors. Both
schools are entered again this year
and report fast teams. Already nine
girl teams are entered and 1t is ex-
pected that this number will be
doubled before next week. In the |
boys division Lawrence won first |
place last year and Halstead first the !
previous year. Both of these teams |
have made good records this sea-
son and have entered for the 1912 |
Up to date the following teams |
have been entered: Girls-Burlin-
game, Chanute, Wamego, Sabetha,
Reno, Bonner Springs, Hutchinson,
Olathe and Florence. Boys=Seneca,
Garden City, Halstead Atchison. Eu-
dora, Burlingame, Lawrence, Reno |

GOOD FIGHT IN KANSAS CITY.
McGOvern and Candle Go Ten Rounds
to a Draw.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 9.-Gene
McGovern of Boston and Willie Ca
mole of San Francisco, featherweights,
fought ten fast rounds to a draw here.
The match was the fiercest exhibit
ton of fighting seen in Kansas City
during the year and both gave and
took throughout. Neither of the boys
seemed to have much the better of the
bout, though In the last few rounds
Candle seemed the stronger of the
two.
Very little boxing was INDUCED in
by the fighters, both depending on in
fighting. In the last round the west
erner seemed to have a good chance
for a knockout, but missed.

Wild, Weird Story of How Brakeman
Outran Coyotes.

Wichita, Kan, March 9.-Hungry
coyotes chased Charles Ellsworth, a
Santa Fe brakeman. between Wichita
back to Englewood when the train
became stalled in a snow drift.
It was dark when the brakeman
started for relief. He heard footsteps
on the snow fifteen feet above his
head and upon looking up, peered into
several pairs of green eyes. Break
ing into a run, he raced with the ami
mails half a mile. The wolves could
not get at him without leaping from
the snow bank to the track below.
They were halted by a trestle over
which the brakeman escaped.

THAws PIPES WITH ELECTRICITY
X. U. Student Has New Plan to Save
Them

Them.
Lawrence, Kan, March 9.-When the
water pipes are frozen up and the
plumbers are busy, use an electric
current to thaw the plumbing. The
severe cold weather this winter has
caused an extensive investigation to
be made of this method and it has
been found very practical by George
c. Schaad, of the University of Kan
sas engineering school. An electric
transformer with an alternating cur
rent is needed. These are applied to
the frozen pipes SO that a circuit is
formed, and thus the ice is quickly
melted.
The ordinary one inch pipe can be
thawed in a few minutes, but the
length of time increases with larger
pipes. The actual cost of thawing is
lessened, and the plumbers do not have
to work overtime, and the electrician
shares his profits.
The electrical methods can be used
in thawing any kind of pipes. Gas
pipes when frozen can be successfully
thawed without danger.

BLONDES ARE EASIEST WON
They Say Yes More Readily Than
Brunettes, Speaker Saws.


Wichita, Kan. March 9.=According
to DR.. Lyman Sperry, who lectured at
the Y NJ C. A, girls with fair COM
plexion and blue eyes are more easily
won than girls of the brunette type.
In other words the girl with blue eyes
will be more easily influenced to say
yes" to proposal than her darker
eyed sister.
1t was the opinion of Dr. Sperry
that all mental states are determin-
ed by physical condition and that
physical conditions are also in turn
determined by the mental state. He
gave an illustration of jealousy in
which bile was supposed to be diff
fused over the body, causing the
green eyed monster as expr essed
by Shakespeare. He gave as the opin-
ion of Ebert Hubbard that over one
half of the cases of cancers in wom-
en- are the result of jealousy.
Actual character is portrayed in the
heart that pumps blood was a state
men made by DR.. Sperry. Faith, love,
hope, good will give better and faster
heart beats. Fear, disgust, horror give
a correspondingly slower beat of the
heart. DR.. Sperry gave illustrations
of cases which produced slow and fast
heart beats.

Lawrence, Kan, March s.-The
probable outcome of the disruption be-
tween Kansas and Nebraska over the
severing of athletic relations in basket
ball and probably in all other sports.
The question has been asked by sport
followers here if this action on the
part of Nebraska is not indicative of
her desire to break with the entire
Missouri valley. It will be remember
ed that during the football season the
Cornhuskers were trying to land in the
big eight.
