UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
TRACK STARS WILL COACH HIGH SCHOOLS
French And Woodbury Will Give Exhibitions For Coming Athletes.
A BRANCH OF EXTENSION WORK
Four Schools Have Asked That Uni-
versity Men be Sent to Give
Lectures on Athletic Training.
If the present plans of the athletic management are carried out, Tod Woodbury and Will French will soon be touring the state explaining "how I succeeded," to aspiring high school athletics.
These two men are the first of a number of University track stars that will be sent out to Kansas high schools to give practical talks on athletics, illustrated with exhibitions, in the events in which they excel.
Many of the men who have charge of the athletics in high schools have had little experience in coaching or training men, and, as a result, there has, for a long time, been a demand on the University coaching staff for pointers to aid in the development of high school stars.
French and Woodbury will go out as a result of the offer, made by Coach Hamilton at the recent teachers' conference, to send out men who could give advice to the high school students, who are engaged in their particular branch of sport, and who could also give talks on training to the high schools at large.
Halstead, Winfield, Marysville, and Sedgwick have already taken advantage of Hamilton's offer and asked that certain men be sent. Woodbury and French will probably go first to Halstead and Winfield.
Chancellor Strong has given his hearty support to the plan as another way in which the University may aid the people of the state. The Athletic Association will pay the expenses of the men.
Michigan Union Gets The Coin Instead of adorning the campus with a class memorial, the senior engineers of the University of Michigan will contribute $300 towards the proposed Michigan Union $1,000,000 clubhouse. The money will be used for the erection of a fire place when the new building is completed.
Florence Getty's, a freshman in the College, is spending the week-end end with Merle Clarke, in Ottawa.

TRYOUTS IN FRASER
The men who are to represent Kansas in the 50 yard dash and the low hurdles at the meet next week in Kansas City will be chosen in a series of tryouts in Fraser hall next Saturday afternoon. These try-outs will be held on the first floor of the building, in the long corridor, which is the only place in the University long enough for staging these events.
Dash and Low Hurdles Will Be Run off in the Corridor.
The results of the tryouts over the shorter distances, held in the Gymsium have been unsuccessful, in that the team did not be chosen over the 39 yard course.
Coach Hamilton has a faint hope that some one will appear in the tryouts that will give Kansas a chance on paper, it nothing more, to win these events at the Kansas-Missouri meet next week.
"Chicago promised to give out the result of this canvass with much gusto, but failed to make good."
A challenge to the University of Chicago to give out the results of the Midway investigation of professionalism will be made as a result of the bitter speech credited to Dean Small of Chicago.
In the Illinois camp today it was asserted that the Midway investigation showed that 30 per cent of the Maroon athletes quizzed admitted having broken the amateur laws, this including all the teams and not merely the baseball squad.

The outdoor season will open with the Relay Carnival at Des Moines, April 20, and will close with the Northern Conference at Purdue June first.
If the present plan of the Athletic management is carried out French will go to Philadelphia to take part in the Peep, Relay Carnival. If some team winner develops before April 27 he will be sent with the Kaunas captain.

Refused an Increase in Salary Physical Director Leaves Topeka School
Western Conference Meet, at Purdue, June 1st.
Coach Driver, last week, handed his resignation as physical director, athletic manager and coach, to President Sanders. The reason was the refusal of the athletic board to increase Mr. Driver's salary for the coming year. Some time ago Mr. Driver asked for a considerable increase in salary and the board did not feel that it could grant it. Consequently the resignation followed and was caused solely by the difference of opinion as regards the financial consequences, always been a friendly feeling between the Coach and the board. Action has not yet been taken on the matter and it is barely possible that an agreement may yet be reached but this is very unlikely as finances are scarce at Washburn and Mr. Driver has a better position in view. -Washburn Review.
KANSAS MEETS K.C.A.C.
ON THE MAT TONIGHT
DANCE THE HORNPIPE
Star Wrestlers Will Battle To The Finish In Two
Dry Land Sailors Will Do Deep Sea Dance at the
Circus.
Tonight the followers of the mat game have their first chance to witness the work of the K. U. wrestlers when matched against men of established reputation.
The boy's athletic dancing classes are being rounded into shape and the exhibitions that will be given by them in the indoor circus and during the Kirmess will be unique and interesting in the extreme. Fancy steps such as are usually seen only on the aesthetic side of the dance, and the "sailor's hornipse" and clog dancing will furnish amusement for those not so artistically inclined.
Matches.
When Roberts and Hemphil attempt to twist the toes of Bundy and Schutte they will be working on the men's shoes. In addition, their respective classes in Kansas City,
The contestants as far as weight is concerned, are evenly matched. In the light heavy weight class Bundy weighs in at 174 while Hemphill tips the beam at 173. Schutte has a few pounds over Roberts in the middle weight division weighing 158, the middle weight limit, to the 153 pounds of the last Blue Diamond tournament, the recent Blue Diamond tournament, Schutte and Roberts then grappled 15 minutes to a draw. Bundy won a close decision over Hemphil.
In the matches tonight no decisions will be given on points. In order to win one contest must put his opinion twice in two out of three hints.
Carl Pleasant, ex-K. U. football captain, now heavy weight champion wrestler of Kansas City will redefine the sport of wrestling to the mat at a promptly eight o'clock.
Every afternoon the piano in the gymnasium and the instructor's "one, two; one, two" may be heard in time with the light sliding steps of the dancers. The innovation of this form of "athletics" to the University gives another opening to get down to the more strenuous work of the gymnasium and the interest that is felt repays the instructors for the work they are giving to it.
WILL TAKE UNIVERSITY OF
TEXAS TO THE PEOPLE, TOO

tight warrants it, tournaments will be

The first appearance of the dancing class will be made at the indoor circus in the gymnasium April 3. The boys will be dressed in costumes fitting the dances, and several surprises in the way of artistic effects are being promised.
The movement for making clear to the people of the state of Texas the need of better and larger colleges has been started by a $250,000 fund subscribed to men and women of the state who are actively interested in higher education.
The plan wds conceived by the son of ex-Governor Hogan. Definite plans have been arranged for getting information of advanced activities of colleges and universities in all parts of the world. The conditions of the home-state institutions will be investigated and reported by committees.

A week ago at Pittsburg, notwithstanding the fact that he was scratch man, Thorpe easily captured the dash, hurdles, high jump and shotput. Expressions from spectators there showed aborigine's remarkable faculty for negotiating a success in so many athletic lines.
Colors of United States Louis Tewanima, the famous long-distance Indian runner, now a student at Carlsleib Indian School, will start next week on a course of training for the Olympic games at Stockholm under the direction of Physical Director Glenn S. Warmer.
It is becoming more evident every day that the credit given James Thorpe, another Carlisle Indian student last year as being the greatest all-round athlete in the world, was not misplaced. Thorpe is showing better form as he grows older.
Tewanina, according to the statement made by Warner here today, will not be allowed to run in any of the spring events this year. It is realized that he is probably one of the greatest long-distance runners of the world, and his course of training will be especially rigid and exacting. Probably none of the Americans will go abroad more fully equipped that the little Hori edelkin
