K. U. TOE TWISTERS TOOK SECOND PLACE
Roberts Tied K. C. A. C Champ in Middle Weight
Class
"Cully" Roberts, the champion middle weight wrestler of the University, brought home second money for the Kansas grapplers at the K. C. A.Tournament held in the Athletic Club's gymnasium Saturday night. Roberts' match with Victor Schutte, the Blue Diamond champion, be beaten by a eighteen-minute struggle. In all the other classes, the Club men were victorious.
All the finals, with the exception of the light-weight class, went the time limit and were decided on points by the referee. In the earlier matches that were determined on points there were several dissenting opinions on two of the matches. In the light-weight class there was a question; his decision between Schutte and Miller, of Nebraska, and in the light heavy weight class the spectators in general believed that Hemphill of K. U. more than held his own against Bundy of the Athletic Club.
Carl Pleasant, 1909 football captain, won the light heavy weight title. He had a hard battle in his preliminary contest and won over his op辱on only after a hard fought battle. In the second contest, fifteen minutes of work won the decision for "Pleas". This was the roughest match of the tournament.

THE WORLD'S BIGGEST CLOCK
Two Men Work Five Hours to Wind "Big Ben."
Big Ben is the largest clock in the world. It is on Westminster tower, London, and was put up in 1858 at a cost of $110,000. The great bell from which the clock takes its name, and which is made to ring regularly by the clock, hangs by sixteen hundred feet of chain from an oak beam bound in iron plates. It weighs more than thirteen tons and the hammer with which the hours are struck weighs four hundred and fifty pounds. It takes two men five hours to wind Big Ben. Its four faces are twenty-three feet across and the minute-hand jumps half a foot every move.

THIS IS WHAT HE HAD DONE.
News Item—Determined to carry out its campaign for "purity" in athletics, the eligibility committee of the University of Minnesota barred William Pearce from the basket-ball ball because he received a dollar many years ago for a race won at a picnic.
JOY TO THE HEART OF THE FAN---MAYBE
Missouri Valley Conference Will Permit Summer Ball--Perhaps
It is probable that the "whitewash" system will be adopted by the Missouri Valley Conference in reference to the eligibility of college baseball men, and if the rules submitted are passed upon the efficiency of all M. V. teams will be greatly increased. The committee after investigating existing affairs for nearly two months have handed in a report to the conference officials and a mail vote is now being taken to decide on the final ruling.
It was suggested that the rule governing summer baseball whereby a student must refrain from playing baseball during the vacation months except on his home team where no gate fee is charged should be stricken out. The chief changes suggested were:
"That a student shall be ineligible to represent his college in athletic contests who engages in such contests as a representative of any athletic organization not connected with his college except where he may participate in occasional games as a member of his home team.
"That most of the technical violations of the amateur rulings in the past, for good reasons, may be overlooked and the offending parties reinstated.
"In order that this plan may be put in practice it is further agreed that each conference athlete in order that he may become eligible for further inter-collegiate participation, shall sign a statement of his athletic experience, up to date, on a uniform conference blank.
"That it is understood that participation in baseball teams under the ruling of the National Commission, or on so-called outlaw teams, or teams of a similar professional character shall preclude reinstatement under this plan;
"It is suggested that a student committee be elected by the students to concur with the faculty committee on matters of eligibility.
"That the signed statements of a given institution may first be submitted to its student committee in order to give that body opportunity to co-operate with the conference committee in removing from its lists the students who, in their estimation, do not warrant being reinstated.
"That all signed statements, excepting those already acted upon by student committees, shall be submitted to the conference eligibility committee through each faculty committee. The conference eligibility to pass upon each individual case according to its merits.
"That the conference eligibility committee shall present its findings to each institution. An acceptance letter should be sent as the final act of reinstatement.
The above rules have been submitted to the conference officials and Prof. C. E. McClung, president of the conference, is now receiving replies through the mail. The final decision will be announced as soon as all of the members of the conference have handed in their votes.
"That if it is found at any time that a student misrepresented his signed statement or has subsequently been found guilty of participating in athletic contests contrary to the spirit of the amateur rule as interpreted by the Missouri Valley conference, he shall thereby be incompelible and subject to the discipline committee of his institution."

THE WINTER WREN IS THE CLEANLIEST BIRD
Wee Feathered Sprite Takes Her Daily Plunge Froman Icy Brink
When the shift of the bird migration begins in the fall, and our familiar little house wren hurries south, she is no sooner gone that her niche here is filled by a near relative of hers, Nannus hiemalis hiemalis, the Winter Wren.
This bird only frequents the homes of men when driven by sharp hunger, for it is aisy, and prefers to live in timber, or nearbybrought overgrown stone walls, close by running water. For one of the peculiarities about the winter wren is its fondness for its daily bath. Even when it has to stand on a rim of ice, it will duck and splash its diminutive body in the ice cold water.
Those who have heard its love song in the north, for it does not sing with us, speak highly of its vocal power. It makes the woods wivirate with its liquid echoing song, so loud that it is almost impossible to locate the singer.
While records have been made of its nesting as far south as Ohio, its usual in breeding grounds are much further north. There in the damp woods, the hollow of some stump, or among the branches of a tree, the worm makes up her feather bed in a roofed over nest, that is entered from the side in true wren fashion. A. P.

NOTHEORY AT ILLINOIS
While Athletic Reformers Rave. Director Huff Gets
Results
George A. Huff, director of athletes at Illinois, will introduce general athletics among the university men on a large scale this spring. While many have advocated a policy for a diversity of sports and the interest of more students, Huff has worked quietly until the way is now clear.
It has remained for the varsity sports to provide funds for the plan. While educators have argued that the non-competing student was being slighted, no funds were ever offered to defray the expenses of the suggested system. Director Huff therefore utilized the scant, but steady profits from varsity sports and bought an athletic field which cost $20,000 and is the property of the athletic association, not of the state.
A twenty team baseball league, composed of five teams from each of the big colleges will fight out a championship. Outdoor basket ball will likely be established, many students having urged that more space be given for the sport. Track athletics will be the third sport adopted.
The new field will be available this spring. Coincident with its opening, large plans are being made to interest the 3,000 men of the university.
In the past class athletics have been conducted on a more or less hap-hazard basis but all this will be changed. There will be a board in charge. Class numerals will be awarded and coaches for various sports will be selected. It is believed that varsity teams will receive indirect benefit by the development of stars who would otherwise have been permitted to remain undiscovered. Director Huff conferred with the student leaders this week regarding ideas and means to inaugurate the new ideas.

BASE BALL SQUAD REDUCED TO 25 MEN
Lack of Floor Space Causes Cut in Diamond
Try Outs.
The base ball squad has been reduced to twenty-five men. This is not intended as a permanent cut, but to give the coach and men who were retained more room to work until the team can get onto McCook field.
"Men not included in the squid picked Friday and who wish a further trout may report to me when out-underwater," said Coach Sherwin this morning.
On account of the lack of room offered for early indoor baseball practice and the number of men trying out this year Coach Sherwin was forced to make a cut in the number of base ball aspirants. This cut was made after the men were given a thorough test of their base sliding and fielding ability. By retaining fewer men the will be more effective in individual attention to the men out of whose number the varsity will be chosen.
The following men were retained, pitchers McCarthy, Walker, Busick, Marsh and Ammons, catchers, Ogden, Binkman, Charlesworth and Siebert, first base, Hicks and Porter, second base, Coolidge, Krebhil, Holiday and Deichman, third base, Ward and White, short-stop, B. Wilson, out field, Moore Densmore, Crandall F. Wilson, Ebother, Lynch and Stoll.
IOWA TRACK MEN CALLED
Hawkeye Prospects Poor For a Winning Squad This Year.
The call has been issued for track candidates at Iowa University.
The men will not be asked to begin work indoors, but will be expected to start light training with a view to getting into condition when the weather opens up outside. Prospects are poor for any kind of a winning track team, and the student body in general has lost interest in the situation.
The only profitable point winners in sight just now are former Captain Wilson in the hurdles, Streeter in the hammer throw, Captain Jans in the quarter and Gableman of last year's team. The squad of new material is coming out, and something may be expected from it, but not a great deal.
PLAYED WITH BROKEN RIBS
Purdue Basket Ball Star Finished Season in Spite of Injuries.
A modern Spartan has been found in the person of Joseph Malarkey, and Indianapolis boy, who has starred at Purdue all season with two broken ribs. No one but Coach Jones knew of the lad's trueilment.
Purdue has played and won nine games in the conference this season and Malarkey has been in the game every minute of the time, shooting sensational baskets from the field. Next to Captain McVaught, the Indianapolis boy was the real star of the championship quintet.

Wasson of Notre Dame, Injured by a Batted Ball, Cannot Compete This Year.
Because of lack of funds there still is some doubt whether it will be possible to send a team from the United States to defend the world's championship won by the American team at the last Olympic games in London four years ago.
WESTERN BROAD JUMP
CHAMPION DOWN AND OUT
Some doubt existed on the question of the amateur status of some of the Americans, who might participate, but the committee says no, rifleman from the United States will be barred unless he is employed in testing and sighting rifles for a living.
MILITIA MARKSMEN ELIGIBLE
Winners of Money Prizes May Compete in Olympic Games
The Olympic committee at Stockholm has informed the National Rifle Association here that officers and men of the army, navy, marine corps and militia and those who have taken part in matches in this country where money prizes always are given will be eligible as amateurs, under its interpretation of the rules, to participate in the Olympic games.
The Notre Dame track team may be without the services of James Wasson, the champion broad jumper, who is suffering from a painful injury. While passing through the coliseum, where the baseball mer were at practice, he was struck by a batted ball.
The injury, though painful, is not regarded as serious. However, Wasson will be out of the Ohio State meet and also the meet against Oberlin.
The doctor has declared that he will do no broad jumping this year and that if he gets on the track all he can be counted on only to pick up a few points in the sprints.
BASEBALL AND GYMNASTICS
Purdue Has a New System for Baseball Workouts.
Coach Nicol of Purdue has his baseball men hard at work in the gymnasium and in addition to real baseball practice they are getting considerable gymnastic exercises.
They are being taught to get away on a slide by vaulting over horses placed lengthwise, the men being required to run hard, then leap into the air and throw themselves upon the horse. This not only teaches them to leave their feet quickly and twistily, but it'll help up the muscles of the ankles and makes them springy and elastic.
In the batting cage the men are getting a workout in batting, throwing, fielding, and running. No cut will be made in the squad until outdoor work begins. There are many candidates for all the positions and plenty of battery material.
WASHBURN TO ENTER COLLEGE AERO MEET
Washburn College will enter the annual intercollegiate balloon race at Kansas City next summer, if present plans are carried out.
The Intercollegiate Aeronautical association will hold its annual race among the clouds in Kansas City this year, that is, the start will be made there, the landing place being left undecided for obvious reasons.
The high-flyers have heretofore included only such institutions as Yale Princeton, Harvard, Cornell, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Williams and Dartmouth. Now the king and queen has驻锡 state and Washington is about to attain the dizzy heights.
Mr. W. L. Jacobs, of the Western Aero club has offered Washburn the use of the club's balloon, "Topeka II," and will pilot the air-craft himself if the students will furnish an aide.
College Exposition at Wisconsin.
An exposition will be held at the University of Wisconsin on April 19 and 20 in the new annex to the gymnasium. It is intended to have practically every department of the university represented, including descriptive of the work will be on display. This will include student affairs as well as regular departments of the university.
