We com- peted in only two meets, the Baker relays, and the state meet. In the state meet, which was held at Iolaf we took third place, which was an excellent record for our first trial. This spring our prospects are brighter than they were last year, because, while we have only one letter man back, the other members of the team are not inexperienced. While they have had no college experience, most of them have one or more high school track seasons behind them. The first meet was held at Parsons on April 12, between Parsons, Iola, and Independence. In this meet we placed second, winning seven firsts out of a possible fourteen. Parsons took the same number of firsts, but won more sec- onds than our men did, thus winning the meet. On April 28 part of the team went to Baldwin, taking part in the junior collage events of the Baker relays. In this meet we made an excellant showing, winning third in the mile relay, and second in the sprint relay. At the time the Inkanquil went to press Coach Kirby was planning several more meets. At the state meet, to be held at Parsons May 12, I. J. C. has good prospects of winning first place. The team is well balanced and the men are all working hard to be in the best possible condition.

Basketball The basketball season for the 1927--1928 Pirates was not a success, the team winning only three out of the thirteen games played. The team had never played together before the start of the season, and Coach Losey had a hard time moulding the Pirates into a presentable five. The season just finished can be considered a success in that we defeated our chief foe, Coffeyville, in the two games We played them. The season started with a defeat at the hands of Iola on the local court. This defeat seemed to make the team downhearted and although they showed plenty of fight they just couldn't seem to get going except for short spells. On the Iola-Kansas City trip the team had a spell and forced Io'a to fight hard in order to Win, 30 to 24. At the half Independence was leading. The next night the Pirates came close to being the first team to defeat Kansas City on their own court. The game was close throughout, with the final score of 33 to 29 in Kansas Cityls favor. The Pirates beat Chilloeco on the local court, but in a retu1'n game were defeated by the Indians for the first time in the three years' history of the college. The entire team was made up of freshmen, no letter men returning. The team should be ready to burn up'l the conference next year with the Whole squad back.

At the beginning of the fall semester a course, g Principals of Argumentationn was announced, open to all students interested in inter-collegiate debate. This course was conducted by Mr. Kirby, and the prospective debaters were taught the rudiments of argumentation and debate. g From this class the following teams were chosen: the negative, Ida Miller and ' Frank Clampiltg and the ahirmative, Carol Mason and Loren Salisbury. ' I Q 7 The question was the one chosen by the colleges in the Kansas con- ference: Resolved: That the United States should cease to protect by armed force, capital invested in foreign lands except after formal declaration of war. . The debaters first met the Pittsburg Teachers College in a practice 5 debate, and came home somewhat encouraged. After this followed much hard I work and drill on delivery under the supervision of Coach Kirby. g The process of elimination, this year, was also an experiment, in the ' form of a debate tournament. Our debaters had the misfortune of drawing I Kansas City Junior College, one of the strongest teams in the conference, and lost their first debate, thus eliminating them from further competition. This i is not Said as an alibi, however, because the grades for these debates were i among the closest of any in the tournament, and the debaters were content to Q know that they had done their best. I The outlook for next year is very bright, with two of the regular debaters Q back and several good ones coming to us from the high school. O U I 3 Page 16 l I I E .Q - ii' 'if':'U' if !
