AGGIES COME HERE TO BLEED JAYHAWKS
Are Expecting to Revenge their Defeat of Last Saturday
DO AGGIES PLAY IN LUCK?
Opinion of Local Fans That Jayhawkers Can Take Both
Games.
If J. Pluvius will only postpone his show for about two days and Father Sol will take the center of the stage, the fans at the University will have an opportunity to buy grand stand seats and watch a mixup that promises to be among the most exciting of the baseball season.
Tomorrow morning Coach Lowman and his squad of slabsters will arrive in Lawrence with bats in their hands and blood in their eye. The Aggies are coming into the enemy's camp to play two return games with the nine that made an even exchange with them last week on their own diamond, and this time their prophecy is that they will not even echocardiogram honors, but that the laurels will all be carried back to the Manhattan rooters. The only trouble with this argument is that the Kansas boys are holding just the opposite, and that is the reason why the contests will be interesting.
CHANCES FOR FARMER VICTORY
The chances for the Aggies to make good their boast tomorrow and Saturday look pretty good. Last week they had the first defeat of the season administered to them, and this by a team that they had given the same dose to the day before. Previous to these games, both Missouri and Baker had been humbled before the Farmer's decisions and chances for a victorious season looked particularly bright.
And yet the question is arising in the minds of the local fans whether or not the Aggies have been playing in plain, pure, unadulterated luck. Billings, the wearer of the big mit for the Farmers, is conceded to be one of the best catchers in this part of the country, besides having an excellent eye for watching the pellet when he is at bat. But he is only one man and the Jayhawk aggregation is not losing too much sleep over him.
JAYHAWKER NINE SEES SUCCESS
On the other hand, Sherwin has got his men into first class shape, they are playing great team work and, in practice, the wielders of the ashen club are smashing them out in a fashion that makes even the "old fans" lean back in their seats and let a self satisfied, confident smile spread over their face. In fact the team feels sure of being able to take both hands in the right way much trouble. So the results are to be watched with keen interest and if the diamond remains in good shape, some claszy manipulations of the national game are sure to be seen on McCook Friday and Saturday.
The batteries have not yet been announced, but in all probability Walker and Ogden will be supported by the Kansas nine, while Pallon and Billings will represent the Manhattan crew.

BALL PLAYERS HARD 300 MEN REPRESENT TO BRING AROUND HIGH SCHOOLS MAY 4
Professionals Take Time in Signing Contracts; How Mack Got Collins
Connie Mack tells in the current number of the Saturday Evening Post how she dragged Eddie Colin out of college into professional base ball. Collins, who plays second base for the Philadelphia team without a peer in the major leagues today.
People have the impression that all a manager has to do in securing young players is to mail them a contract and they will jump at the chance to sign it. Sometimes, however, managers have to wait over a year before they give him to sign.
Eddie Collins was playing with Columbia University when Connie Mack discovered him. Collins was slated for captain of the 'varsity nine of Columbia the next year and refused to sign, because he was afraid it would affect his amateur standing. Mack advised him to return at the same time kept in touch with him, and Collins signed as soon as he was graduated.
Mack gets a good many players through what he calls his correspondence bureau. This bureau is largely recruited from old ball players, men whom he has played with and met on the diamond. The list has grown because Mack has never turns down a ball player. He tries to accommodate all comers and in that way has made a great many friends.
Every man who has come into con-
tact with Connie Mack, whether a ball
player or not, awards by him and is
played on the court. The best ball
players in the country.
TWO MINUTES WITH CAMPUS CELEBRITIES
"My full name," said the state geologist, "is Frasum Haworth. I do not believe in pre-destination. I weigh 235 pounds and was born in Iowa, April 17, 1855. Yes, I was born in a log cabin, too.
"I have been State Geologist of Kansas for about ten years. No, it is not a graft. I have a pretty rocky time of it sometimes. Oh, no, I am not加住ted to the use of any drugs whatever. Until the summer of 1911 I have always maintained that the world was gradually becoming colder.
"No, I never smoke. I love to stay at home with my family at night. My favorite hobby is raising fine harnesses. I had a little mare once that—No, I never saw a moon light dance. I wear a number 9 shoe. I do not think that physical exercise should be compulsory for faculty members.
"My favorite flower is the rose. I was in the first field meet that Kansas ever held. I would have won the race, but my foot slipped over the line.
"No, I do not carry a Big Ben. The report that I broke the pole-vault record in 1885 is absolutely without foundation."
Walter Truedale, Clarence Sowers, Ray Stem, and William Cain will save tonight for Lincoln, Nebraska o attend the Section convention of Section XII of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.
Entries an Increase of 100 Men Over That of Last
Year
Judging from reports and entries already sent in Coach Hamilton is expecting at least three hundred track men to compete in the ninth annual Inter-scholastic meet to be held on McCook Field May 4. This will be an increase of one hundred men over that held last year.
This group of men will include representatives from nearly all the schools of this state. An example of the interest displayed in this feature high school event of the year is shown by the fact that many schools with but an enrollment of fifty scholars will be represented.
Not only does Coach Hamilton expect that this enormous crowd will be entertained by the students of this University, but in addition they will have the keys of the school handed to them figuratively speaking. In order to ensure that the high schools will send in their entries as early as possible in order that arrangements may be made for their entertainment.
It is understood that in addition to the students of the University the Merchants Association and the Commercial Club of the city of Lawrence are planning to assist in the entertainment.
HAND BALL SHARKS NEED MORE COURTS
ALPHA TAUS TAKE GAME
Defeat Sig Alphas in Fraternity Series by a Score of 14.8
11 to 3
Interest in Slap-ball Game Has Caused a Shortage of Courts
The fraternity teams are still cavorting on McCook and yesterday afternoon the Alpha Tauus galloped around the Sig Alphas at the end of the seventh inning with a 11 to 3 record.
The game, scheduled to be a good one, fell rather short of the expectations of the assembled fans on account of the lack of "pep" in the Sig Alph nine. Heretofore during the season they have put up a fast, classy game, but yesterday not only was their batting eye on the blink, but their fingers also were in a bad way. When a fly lit in the outfield, and there were not a few of them, the Sig Alphs experienced both difficulty in waylaying them, and also in relaying them back to the infield.
"The University must have a new supply of hand ball courts." This was the ultimatum of Dr. Naismith this morning after varily endeavoring for the last month to accommodate the growing interest in the slip-hall game. At present the University has but four hand ball courts and as there are too many, the vast majority of thoseists of the game, one can easily see the need of a supply of new courts.
Dr. Nalsmith in speaking of the sudden interest displayed by the students in this game said that it was due to two reasons, one, to exercise acquired in an interesting way and the other, the simpleness of the apparatus and the small number of players required for a game.
To accommodate this crowd of would-be ball hail sharks, it is the present intention of the Athletic management to build six new courts south of the gymnasium, that is if money can be secured for the cause. This will be done by leveling off the ground and making a cement floor with a cement wall to bat the ball against. If this is done, the ability to whiff an ocular ball will be realized.
It was the initial appearance of the Alpha Taus and from their actions they are going to be in a close race for the pennant. Stotts, the only south-paw in the league, threw good ball throughout the game and his followers supported him in fairly good shape. Though the A. T. O's did not make any long drives, they connected with the pill time and again for one and two sacks and then or were brought in for the score.
The Score:               R. H. E.
Sig Alphs. . . . 010 200 *— 3  2  8
Alpha Taus. . . . 300 260 *— 11  6  3
Batteries: Sig Alph: Hamilton and Davis. Alpha Tau: Stotts and Hostetter.

Swatting the G. E. Monster.
The famous Vassar daisy chain, which has been a custom at Vassar for nearly fifty years, may be discontinued by the officials of the college. The official reason for this is the envy caused among the girls of the sophomore class each year by the selection of the twenty-four prettiest girls of the class to carry the chain.

How to Teach Spelling
From experiments made in the teaching of spelling at Teacher's College in New York, it has been found that teaching of the class study types is more affective than separate and independent study types. La Salle, a French educator of the seventh century, was the first person to advocate the class study type and since then it has been in general favor.

PLAY KICKERS HANDICAP
New Tournament to Be Staged by the Local Golfers on Saturday
The Kickers' Handicap tournament will be the first of its kind ever staged by the club. In this tournament each man is allowed to name his handicap, the object being so to handicap himself so that he will be able to make the course in about eighty or ninety strokes. A number will be drawn from a box containing slippers from eighty to all the slippers and the nearest to the number drawn is the winner. In this way every contestant has an equal chance.
The Oread Golf Club has decided to stage a Kiekers Handicap tournament next Saturday, instead of a Call Your Club tournament, which was originally planned for that date. This substitution was made on account of the fact that under the original plans it was intended to stage that form of a tourna- tion on account of the meet at Topela they were forced to change their plans.
At least thirty entries are expected to be in the tournament, as the course is in the best of shape. Six new tees and two pairs are needed to make the tournament more regular.
