WASTE AT HOSPITALS
IA. Q. Professor Pleading for Medical
School Criticiscs State Institutions.

awrcnce, Kan, Nov. 2.-The rea-
sons why Missouri and other states
have larger and better-equipped med
ical schools than Kansas IS explained
anatomy at the University of Kansas
in a recently published article, The
Medical School and the State
DR.. Sundwan asks why Missouri is
ahead of Kansas ir this highly i'm
portanJ field and supplements the
question by such ones as should
Kansas support a medical school %
What is the Importance TO the state
of having a good place where stu
dents can receive good instruction
with plenty of equipment for efficient
laboratory work ?"
DR. Sundwan asserts thas Kansas
should do away with the present sys-
tenn of having many inefficient med
ical institutions and substitute in their
place one big hospital in connection
with a medical school, which, by rea-
son of it's centralized system and ade-
Quate funds could be run with in
creased efficiency at decreased cost
In criticizing the present system
am leaving out all personal feeling
and facts" said Dr. Sundwan. No
one is censored, but 1 am compelled
to say plainly that examples of reck-
less waste are prevalent in our homes
for mental disorder, such as the To-
peka state hospital, OSawatomie state
hospital, State hospital for epileptics
at Parsons, Larned state hospital and
the State hospital for feeble minded
at Winfield.
The total of salaries and wages
alone Tor the hospitals at Topeka,
Parsons, Winfield and Osawatomie
for the past fiscal year was $780,
067.33. If these schools were COM
bined the fund would pay adequate
salaries to a corps Of competent men
and pcovide for a teaching and hos
pital staff that would devote all its
time to the treatment of disease, bet
terment of health conditions in the
state at large and development

Jess Willard, the Texas cowpuncher-

to leave Kansas City Wednesday for FL
Paso TO begin his preliminary train
ing for the Willard-Johnson match at
the Juarez race track on or about
March 6.
Johnson is expected in Juarez this

the Mexican side, as he does not dare
cross to the American side because Of
certain legal matters yet pending in the
United States district court at Chicago.
How Johnson is to get to Juarez from
BuenOs Ayres has not yet been eX-
planned, but Jack Curley, the promoter
of the affair, says Johnson will be on
the job in plenty of time, and Curley is
known as the man who makes good.

Tom Jones, who handled Ad Wolgast
in his best days, has been engaged to
train Willard, and Jim Jeffries, who has
considerable personal feeling against
the negro in general and Johnson in
particular, plans to make it a spite

finishing touches on Wizards training

And they did fight all through the

Sunset won not because of superiority
in pIav, but because of superiority IN
numbers. When all of Villas boys were
blocking an opponent there still re-
NAMED the extra Sunset player in the
clear
The feature OF the actual play was
the uncovering Of a future graf player
in little Danny Booth of Sunset. This
midget is barely four feet tall yet Sat
urdav he was throwing baskets from
every angle as well as passing better
than most of the players on the first
teams do. If this youngster continues
at his present gait he is going to de-
velop into a star at the game within
the next five or six years. Roy Scotch
played a splendid running guard for
sunset [. SCHUYLER at center played by
far the best game for Villas In addition
to doing some great guarding he scored
five of the seven points scored by his
team. B. Krupp played strong guard
for Villas Had there been fifth player
to support the team this youngster
would have prevented a great many of
the points scored. AS it was he would
block one player who would then pass
to a teammate and little Krupp would
have to dash at this player to prevent
a score. As it was it is certain Sunsets
score would have mounted even higher
had it not been for his work.

COLLEGE CANCELLED

State College, n. NJ, Jan. 1.-THE
scheduled game between the college
basketball team and the Texas School
of Mines to have been played in FL Paso
Saturday evening was cancelled by the
latter team, giving as a reason the un-
preparedness Of their team to begin the
season.
The college basketball team will meet
the Mormon team, composed of the
Bowman brothers, Of Shalem, n. NJ, in
the fourth of a series of practice games
arranged between the two teams. The
college team is composed Of Cleave
Humble and Frank Meerscheidt, for
wards; Edward Wharton, center; Nj
gent MOusman and Milton Blackwell
guards.
In a fast and well played basketball
game the team representing the pre-
paratOry department defeated the five
from the junior class by the score Of
IS to s. This was one of a series of
games being played for class cham
pionship.

game was fairly interesting, but in
the second period of play it developed
into farce principally because Sag
Shea, who has been sadly off in his
basket shooting for the past two weeks,
came back into his own and the Miners
simply could not stop him During Il
great part of the second half two or
three of the Miners were on top Of
Sag most of the time. He threw
baskets from every angle and every
position and, before the game had
ended, had tossed in IA field goals.
Aside from Shea, Done was best on
the floor. Done played a good game
both on offence and defence and his
passing was the best ever seen in FL

AAIAR SENIORS, 10; Bailey seniors,
y. Sunset juniors. 29;' Villas ju-
- niors. a. This was the result Of
two games at the Y. NJ. C. A. Saturday
afternoon in the opening OF the Gram
mar school basketball schedule. Just
before the first game was started, an
nouncement was made that E. ". King
had donated a shield to be played for
by the senior league.
The first game was the fastest, hard
est fought and most exciting ever seen
in Eel PasO between two grammar school
teams. When the last gong sounded La
mar was on the long end Of the score
by a single point. Hugh Adkins again
showed better game than any other
player on the floor. He did not outjump
Boyd as often as in the last game, but
he did so often enough to have quite
a margin. In basket shooting he was
easily best for hiseteam, getting six Of
Bailey's y points. Hughs older broth
er Al, is considered one of the best
players in the city and has been Sc
lected to play forward on the Cactus
team in the City league
x
A new star appeared on the floor in
Reginald Flake, who played anchor
guard Although this youngster has
only taken up basketball within the
past two or three weeks he displayed
the same great natural ability thatfhe
has in every line Of sport he has taken
up. Moreover, despite his neWness at
the game he showed a far better knowl-
edge Of the duties of an anchor guard
than any school boy who has played for
the past three years and a better knOwi-
big fellows show. Instead Of rushing
wildly up and down the floor as many
do, Reggie stuck under his basket and
no player was able to get a clear shot
on him during the game. Lamar's vic
tory is to great extent due to this
youngsters magnificent guarding. Fritz
Bryant, at forward, played a splendid
game for Bailey and showed every in
dicatiOn of following In the footsteps of
his brother, Bob. who is captain and
star forward of the High school team,
as well as being forward on the Bryan
five Captin Madison Mudd played !
good forward for Lamar. In addition to !
scoring six Of his teams 13 points, |
Middle" was all over the floor, doing /
more real guarding than Coalson, who |
was playing that position.
Bailey's defeat was due to several /
things one was the fine all around /
ing of Flake. Another was that Lamar |
had a better team individually Bailey j
easily outclassed Lamar again in team /
work. but that was not quite sufficient /
to overcome the other handicaps The !
thing which probably contributed more /
than anything else to the defeat Of the /
team, however, was the fact that two
Of the players were wrongly placed. /
one OF their forwards would make a /
splendid guard while one of the guards
plays strictly a forward game. Had
these two players been reversed in Sat
urday's game it is almost certain that
Bailey would have won. And they are
just as certain to win the next time the
two teams meet unless Lamar can de-
