With the conclusion last night of
the first annual Sports Week at Law
renee, Director Of Athletics Forrest c.
Allen is beginning earnestly to whip
his basketball team in shape for this
years race. The team has been prac-
ticing regularly every afternoon the
past week in Robinson gymnasium,
but Gymnasium Director Patrick has
given the team its workout due to the
fact that Allen has been busy with the
high school players and coaches in
attendance at the newly instituted
Sports Week.
Capt. George Rody is showing his
usual steady brand of stuff at the for
ward position, while Westmeyer,
guard, is working at an even faster
tclip than last year. Westmeyer is ca
pable of covering the floor in quicker
time than any other man on the Jay
hawk squad to date. His guarding
procliVitieS are great. Endicott, also
working at guard, has a good running
mate in either Charlie Black, football
halfback, or Long john Wulf, who
alternateS at guard and center. Wulf
is one OF the tallest men in school.
He will measure. from tip to tip,
about six feet three inches. In all
probability Wulf will be used at the
center position on the squad.
OF the sophomore material showing
good stuff, a youngSter named Bow
man, Lawrence boy, seems to be
leading the race. Bowman's ability
to cover>the floor and guard accurate
~ is gaining him recognition. His size
is against him. however. He weighs
only 140 pounds and is small in stat
ure. Young Dutch" Lonborg, George
Speck, and five other sophs are maxi
ing tracks toward first team berths.
Boxing seems due to come back in
collegiate circles, Notwithstanding the
fact that Attorney General Hopkins
has done everything in his power to
outlaw the real classics which have
been brought to Kansas, l. e.,-the
Gibbons O'Dowd match at Wichita re-

Down at K. U. there are a number
of real battlers in the making. C. B.
Patrick, boxing instructor has instI-
tuted classes in the art Of fisticuffs
and wrestling, and plans inter-colleg1-
ate contests with other schools in the
near future.
The semi-finals were concluded Fri
day, and some good men made their
debut to fistic circles. All weights
were entered.
And at Washburn the erstwhiIe

had to do with the splitting of the

probably cut and dried now.

HOW COURT WORKS
Justice West Gives Inside Ac-
tiOns of Supreme Body.
Explains Necessity for and Au-
thOrity of the Tribunal.
BRIEFS REALLY NOT BRIEF
Opinions Run Gauntlet Of All
Judges Before Published.
FOrty-Fiye Opinions Each of

BRIEFS REALLY NOT BRIEF
3 KENNETH 81. CLARK.


How tie Kansas supreme court per
forms its work is the subject of an in
teresting brochure written by Justice
Judson S. West, member OF the court.
That the highest tribunal in the
state is composed of seven judges is
commonly known, but the painstak-
ing, systematic procedure followed by
the court in arriving at its decisions is
not so well advertised.
In all the thousands of opinions
published in the 10S volumes Of its
reports for the last sixty years. the
Kansas supreme court has overruied
its former decisions in only seventy
one instances. an average of a little
more than one a year.
Unlike the supreme courts of many
other states. the Kansas tribunal is
practically up with its work. During
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1921,
64S caseG were filed. Cases argued
orally numbered 276 while 1913 were
submitted on briefs. But 353 cases
were continued over into the new ifs
cal year. A case may take its usual
course on appeal and a decision be
reached in six or eight months, or
less, while one original proceeding
was decided within eight days from
the time it was begun and another
within two days.
Judge West describes the court and
Its methods in part as follows:
Three Actions in Court.
The Kansas supreme court is chief
" an appellate tribunal for the cor
rection Of errors in cases coming from
the district courts. However, three
kinds OF actions may be begun in the
supreme court-habeas corpus, man.
damus and quo warranto.
''Habeas corpus means a court or
der to bring in the body of some one
who claims to be unlawfully detained
or Imprisoned.
'MandamuS means a court man
date or order to do some particular
thing which the law requires, and quo
warrantO means an order to show by
what warrant certain things are done,
as in the case of a corporation which
attempts to go beyond its charter
powers. Quite a number of these
original proceedings are brought ev-
cry year.
But the main work is in eases
coming up on appeal. In these there
is no jury, or trial in the ordinary
sense, but the lawyer for the appeal
ing party may tell the court orally
and by his printed brief how badly he
thinks the trial court blundered while
the attorney for the appellee may
similarly point out the lucidity and
other merits of the decision rendered
by the court below
Briefs Are Not Brief.

The coaches have little to say
along these lines.
Professor c. S. Parmenter, of Baker
university, secretary of the confer
ence dads refused to divGIge any in
formation when requested TO do so.
At 8 O'Clock this morning the meet
ing was thrown open for public dis
cussion- Coaches, and faculty repre-
sentativeS, neWspapermen, officials
and few mascots were assembled for
the festivities.
Washburn college, thru the medium
Of Coach Dwight T. Ream, decided to
do away with the HaskelI-Washburl
Thanksgiving day game for reasons
not made public. Instead either Doe
Weede's Pittsburg Normal team or
''Bill' Bates's Southwestern players,
will play in Topeka Turkey day of
1922.
Other games scheduled by the Icha~
bods are more or less tentative.
Rumors at the Y NJ. C. A this
morning among few of the more
taIkative members of the conference
i We're to the effect that the question
of dividing the conference would come
up today, probably late this afternoon.
And the talkative ones were not
optimistic concerning the chances for
a division.
''Why divide the conference into an
A and B class. thereby making hard
feelings a certainty asked Faculty
Adviser King of Kansas Wesleyan.
1t was explained to him that 1t
would not be a question of merely an
A and B class, but simply a division
that would enable a. round robin form
of play, wherein each team in one di-
vision could meet each other team in
its own division, then the win
ners could meet in a post-season
game for the Kansas championship.
But King couldn't see it that way, and
expressed the belief that other faculty
advisers who wished a division of the
conference would be in the minority.
History of the conference activities
does not give encourag cement to the
fight for the division. 1t has been
tried before and failed. Kansas State
Normal at Emporia withdrew from
the conference ten years ago for a Pc
riod of one year because of hot po-
litical fight for division. The Nor
malites were in favor of the division.
And the question has come up time
and again since that episode, always
with the same result.
Sooner or later, the conference
agrees, the Kansas teams must be di-
vided. When?-that's the question.
Only one other conference in the
United States is larger than the Kan
sas conference, according to the best
knowledge acquired from statistics
along that line. The Ohio State con-
ference laments that they have a six
teen team conference-and they are
attempting the same thing the Kansas
conference is-namely, a division and
a methodfof round-robin play.
The football teams simply won't let

capacity for growth, and IN THE -
democracy. and law, as =; ria b
human progress.
To study sympathetically problems
upon whose solution the general
welfare depends, is one OF the pur-
poses of the league. To accomplish
this purpose, the Topeka chapter has
established and will maintain, an open
forum, where subjects of moment in
reconstruction days VIII be dis
eussed. The subject for consideration
on Sunday evening is Industrial De-
which will be presented by
a speaker who has made a study or
labor difficulties and economic con-
ditions both in Europe and in this
country.

Kansas Motorists Must Buy
Licenses Next Month.
Last July Fees We're Paid by
Motor Car Owners.
ON BLACK BACKGROUND
Tags for 1929 Just Reverse of
Color Scheme in July.
Three Carloads of Numbers Are
Delivered to State.

Kansas automobile owners who less
than six months ago paid their license
tax under the increased schedule au-
thorized by the last legislature will
be required to visit their county treas
urer again the first of the year.
Under the 1921 law the payment of
automobile fees was changed from a
fiscal to a calendar year basis. Conse-
quently the fees collected after July
1 of this year were for period of six
months.
Three carloads of he new 1922
license tags have already been received
by z. A. Cornell, chief of the automo-
bile registration department of the
secretary of states office. Three ad-
ditional carloads are on the way. In
all, 100000 tags have been ordered.
Tho new tags have orange yellow fig
ures on a black background, which is
just the reverse Of the color combina-
ton in the tags now in use. To the
right of the figures appears Kan 22.'
In letters now being mailed out to
county treasurers, Cornell says in
part:
1.-THE motor vehicle law says the
motor vehicle registration year shall
begin on January 1 of each year and
all motor vehicle licenses shall be
dated the day and year of their issue
and shall expire on the 31st day OF
December next thereafter. InaSmuch
as January 1 next falls on Sunday and
Monday the second will be generally
observed as a holiday, you will please
begin taking applications for the new
registration on Tuesday, January 3,
and make your, remittance reports
thereafter daily so long as the number
of applications taken by you justify a
daily report.
Pay Fees on Weight.
"The amount of license fees on
automobiles, other than electric cars,
depends entirely upon the weight OF
the car where the car weighs over
1850 pounds, and all applications
must contain the correct weight in
pounds where same is in excess of the
above amount, and if less than 1850
pounds the application should state
less than 1850 pounds
1.-THE license fees on motor trucks
is based upon the carrying capacity
of the trucks which the applications
must state in tons and half tons.
Separate blanks must be used in TAX
ing applications for motor trucks and
special truck tags will be issued for
them. The law defines a motor truck
as "a motor vehicle commonly known
as an auto truck, intended for the pur-
pose of transporting any commodity
goods, merchandise, produce or
freight; or passengers for hire
-"The law also provides: For the
purpose of this act the gross weight
of all motor vehicles and the carrying
capacity of all motor trucks shall be
that specified and advertised by the
manufacturer or maker thereof and
the making of any false statement OF
a material fact in said application
shall render the person making the
same liable for the penalty provided
by law for the crime of perjury "
