JAYHAWKER HOPES ON THE TOBOGGAN
Unless Ammons and the Wood burys Compete Kansas Can- not Win the Meet
SQUAD HAS BEEN SELECTED
In Spite of Slim Chances it is Expected That 500 Rooters Will Journey to K. C.
"With the Woodbury and Ammons in suits Friday night I see small possibility of our finding ourselves on the low end of the score; without them we will stand a bare chance of breaking even with Miss souri with our men at their best," said Coach Hamilton in speaking of the possibility of at last downing the Tiger in the annual Indoor Meet with Missouri at Convention hall.
Ammons has not yet announced his intention of competing but will probably respond to the needs of his Alma Mater and appear in the meet It all rests with the Woodburys who have been taking daily workouts and are ready to compete if the consent of their parents can be obtained.
The rest of the squad are for the most part green material and whether they will show up to any advantage in the meet is yet to be determined.
ROOTERS EXPECTED ANYWAY
Over five hundred rooters are expected to accompany the team and in order to accommodate this crowd several coaches will be attached to the 3.51 and 5.44 trains on the Santr Fe. The track team will leave at 2.25 and the band will accompany the rooters on the 3.51 train. Rooters intending to accompany the team may secure seats for the meet from Manager Hamilton. Balcony seats will be 50 cents and box seats $1.00.
Coach Hamilton will take one of the largest squad of athletes to the meet that has been taken by this University. Over thirty men have been entered. As only two men may compete in each event excepting the open 50 yd, and mile handicap events further tryouts will be held lasting the rest of this week in order to enable the coach to pick the men for the different events.

AN ALL COLLEGE PROFESSIONAL TEAM
Men Once Undergrad Base ball Stars Now Shine in Big Leagues.
Among the endless variety of "all" teams which have been picked in the realm of sport there is one field which has been shamefully neglected, the college baseball field. All college nines are chosen annually, but nobody has tackled an "all" college team; that is, one chosen without any limit as to time.
An "all" college teamol this sport can be found which would be as strong an array as could be put together, whether a professional or what not, for a majority of its players would be men who since leaving college have turned professional. The fact that they have turned professional and been professionals of high mark is the best proof of their ability. So naturally the place to look for members of this hypothetical team is in the professional ranks.
The colleges have had players who had they turned pro would have been among the best, and there are a few that never turned pro who nevertheless were so proficient that they make the all college team for all time, but there haven't been many of these. In baseball the two major leagues are the biggest measures of skill and consequently this company is the best of reasons for choosing anybody who has done so for the team in question.
The field is a wide one, but the following team would not only be the strongest team of college players possible to select but, as said, it could hold its own with any kind of an all star aggregation: Pitchers—Coombs, Colby; Plank, Gettysburg; Bender, Carlie; Mathewsown, Bucknell; Catchers—Myers, Dartmouth; Reid, Harvard; Kafer, Princeton; First Base—Chase, St. Mary's, Second base—Collins, St. Mary's, Shortstop—Barry, Holy Cross, Third base—Devlin, Georgetown, Outfield—Fultz, Brown; Cree, Penn State; Thomas, Pennsylvania. For substitute infielder, Derrick, Georgia University, would fill the bill, and for substitute outfielder, Birmingham, Cornell.
CHICAGO DEAN COMPARES
COLLEGE SPORT TO RACING
Says That Professionals in The West Are The Book-makers of Intercollegiate Athletics.
Dean Albion W. Small of the University of Chicago in a speech before the university of Wisconsin alumni yesterday said that the big colleges of the West were following a path made by four campers in their conduct of athletics.
"A company of炎性 insane people in one-half of the big conference is doing for intercollegiate athletics that Dr. Small did for racing," said Dr. Small.
"The four for amateurism have exchanged pleasants and unpleasanties with the four that stand for professionalism, and much of our differences have been discolored. We stand four and four."
"One-half stands for amateurism, which means a square deal, and the other half stands for professionalism, which means flim flam."
New York, March 18—Announcement was made tonight that the Boston Athletic Association will contribute, on or about April 1, $1,500 to the American Olympic fund. Twenty-five thousand dollars will be needed. Walter Camp has forwarded a check for $300 as Yale's contribution. It is expected that Princeton, Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, and the other colleges in the Eas' and West will send funds later.

Men Were Still Tussling Whe Darkness Stopped the Second Bout
After wrestling for an hour and twenty-four minutes "Vic" Schutte was given the decision over 'Cully' Roberts in the wrestling match held in the gym Friday evening. When the match was called Schutte had a head hold on Roberts and was putting on the power in great shape.
There was considerable objection to the decision but followers of the game admitted that while it was impossible for Schutte to pin the K. U wrestler with that hold it would have been in his power to injure him seriously had the Kansas man not allowed himself to be thrown. This Roberts had no intention of doing and gamely refused his opponent's requests to "roll over." For this reason Dr. Rielly called the K. C. A. C. man the winner of the fall.
The men came back for the second fall and had wrestled 50 minutes when the lights were turned off for the night. No decision was giver on this fall.
Between the two middle weight bouts Bundy and Hemphill in the light heavy-weight class wrestled to one fall. This match was far more spectacular than the others and was especially interesting by the defensive work of Hemphil. His more experienced opponent finally pinned his shoulders to the mat after 38 minutes of exciting wrestling.
M. V. SCHOOLS SLOW TO FOLLOW THE CUE
Definite Replies on New Eligibility Not in; Will Prob-
ably Pass
Full reports have not yet come in to Dr. C. E. McClung, president of the Missouri Valley Conference, in regard to the action of the conference on the new eligibility rules. A vote is being taken by the colleges on the rules as submitted by the eligibility committee and favorable replies have been received from all but two. No answer at all has been received from these.
Dr. McClung said this morning, "I believe that the new rules will be passed by all of the conference schools and that there will be no trouble in regard to the restatement of several of our men. It is a rather tedious job taking a small mail vote and some of the answers have been slow about in I. have, however, already given the eligibility blanks that must be filled to Coach Hamilton and the men are giving a clear and satisfactory report of themselves. As soon as all of the blanks are filled out they will be turned over to the Men's Student Council for verification. I think all of the men in question will be allowed to play with the exception of Plank, who is clearly a professional man." Definite replies will be received from the two tardy Universities within the next few days.
Semi-Centennial Convention to be Hel in Chicago This Summer-Announcements Late.
THE NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION TO CONVENE
The fiftieth annual convention of the National Education Association will be held in Chicago, July 6-12, 1912. Unfortunately the announcements of the executive committee have been delayed on account of their efforts to secure the best railroad rates, but it is earnestly hoped that the active membership of the Association will aid the executive committee in their plans for the success of the convention and remove as far as possible the disadvantages of an unavoidably late announcement.
Arrangements regarding railroad accommodations, convention headquarters, halls and hotels can be secured from the state director, John MacDonald, editor of The Western School Journal, Topeka, Kansas.
Many Other Series of Slides Have Been Prepared to Accompany Lecture

"Rome, the Cross Roads of an Empire" is the name of a new lecture just completed by the Extension Department of the University. This is the first of a number of similar set which the Extension Department is preparing for circulation among the high schools in the state. It is beautifully illustrated by sixty slides nineteen of which are colored.
Maple caramel dipped in chocolate at Wiedemann's—Adv.
Other sets which will be completed in the near future, are, "Caesar's Helvetic Campaigns," "Insect Pests of Kansas," "History of Chemistry and Botany," "Physical Geography," and "Views of the University of Kansas." Most of these sets contain from sixty to seventy slides.
The manuscript of the lecture accompanies the set contains fifty-five pages, and is full of strong passages. For instance: "To understand Rome is to understand 2000 years of strength and weakness—beides, Rome still dominates; her law is still inflexible, her order is still axiomatic and her creed is still enshrined in the present."
The concluding words of the manuscript are, "We have made the circuit of Rome, hurriedly to be sure and many very attractive spots we have been compelled to pass by. But when we look down at the little temple now, and across at the great dome, each has a new meaning. We see in both and in all the vast sea of roofs and bridges, in the churches palaces and ruins, different letters spelled out into words and sentences in the great book of the eternal struggle of the human heart, out of solitude and darkness, up toward the sunlight and God."

The only expense which the high schools will incur in using these sets will be the express charges and the cost of any slides broken.

CHEMICALS WILL TAKE AN INSPECTION JAUNT
Expect to See How Things Are Done In The Business World.
Prof. W. A. Whittaker will take fifteen junior and senior Chemical Engineers on a chemical industry inspection trip. They will leave April 15 and be away for five days.
The principal industries of Kansas City and St. Louis will be visited. This trip is possible through a recent action of the Board of Regents.
Two days will be spent in Kansas City where the packing houses and soap industries will be visited. In the zinc and acid industries special attention will be given to the manufacture of sulphuric, piercic and hydro chloricacids. The municipal water purification plant will also be visited.
The remainder of the time will be spent in St. Louis and neighboring towns. The manufacture of saccharine and organic preparations, the manufacture of general chemicals, the manufacture of corn products where they will watch the making of corn syrup, will also be inspected. They will also watch the manufacture of paints and pigments, enamel ware, lead and silver process. All plants covering the steel and iron industries will be visited.
The trip will not be as enjoyable as it might seem, for every student will carry a note book in which he will outline each plant that is visited.
Professor Whittaker is enthusiastic over the prospects of the trip. As only students who have their work all up to will be taken, he expects big results.
Subscriptions to the Daily Kansan are due. All subscriptions including those for the year can be paid in the Daily Kansan office, basement of the Medical building.
