WILL BATTLE FOR TRACK SUPREMACY
Annual Jayhawk Cornhus ker Struggle on McCook Field Tomorrow.
AN EVEN CHANCE FOR VICTORY
Kansas looks good for firsts in both the hurdles, the two mile, the high jump, the broad jump, and the pole vault. Nebraska on the other hand is the candidate for first in the mile, the half mile, the discus, the 220 dash. The results of the 100, the quarter, the shot put, and the relay are in doubt.
Nebraska Strong in the Half and the Mile—Woodburys May Enter Two Events.
Nebraska has a star man in the half and the mile. Anderson who is depended upon to win these events for the scarlet and cream defeated Steele and Johnson of Missouri in both the Missouri Valley and Western Conference meets last year. His record over the mile is 4:26 and he has a better record in the half than any of the men upon whom Kansas can depend to take that event this year.
GRIBLE MAY BE OUT OF IT
Christmas will probably take the
220 as he has been running that
distance in great shape. Gribble who
was the Kansas hope in this event
strained a tendon in his leg in the
Inter-class meet and may not be able
to start the race. Stuckey may, how-
ever, give a good account of himself.
NUMBER 72.
In the Nebraska-Ames meet, the Cornhuskers won with ease but the records made were for the most part slow. This may be accounted for, however, as the day of the meeting was very windy and also by the fact that the winners were not pushed except in little, which went to Anderson in 428.
The entries are as follows:
100 yard dash - Kansas; Davis,
Stuckey, Gribble Smith. Nebraska:
May, Christmas, Racely.
The Woodbury boys are attempting to gain the consent of their parents to enter one event each. If it is granted, Buzz will broad jump, and Tod will vault vault. That would look like eight points for Kansas in each of those events.
Mile run-Kansas: Patterson, Murray, Davis, Adair. Nebraska: L. Anderson, Bates, Boggs, Becker, Kennedy.
130 hurdles—Kansas—Hazen,
Prench. Nebraska—Russell.
Kragge.
220 hurdles—Kansas: ifazen, Perry, Davis, Greenlees. Nebraska: Barney, Wessel, Mills. Nelson.
440 yard dash—Kansas: Smith Black, Davis, Fairchild. Nebraska Brannon, Barnev. Beaver.

CAPTURE THIRTEEN SNAKES
Eight Rattlers And Five Copperheads
Nosed Caged in Museum.
Eight rattlesnakes and five copperheads were captured by Prof. R. D. Lindsey, Chas. D. Bunker, and Theo Rocklund near Lawrence yesterday. The men went out after worms for the zoology department and the thirteen snakes are the result of their search.
This is a pretty big snake story but Mr. Bunker, curator of mammals has the snakes in a cage in the basement of the Museum.
HODDER TELLS OF AMERICAN CARTOONS
University Daily Kansan i First College Daily to Present Caricatures
"As far as I know, the University Daily Kansan is the first college daily that has undertaken to present college caricatures," said Prof. F. H. Hodder in his illustrated lecture on the American cartoon last Tuesday.
The lecture covered the period of the Civil war up to the Spanish war of 1886 at which time the weekly military matters appeared in Puck and Judge.
"These cartoons," the professor said, "were very effective and influential." The most popular designs during the Civil war were reduced in size and stylized. "The idea of 1872 the newspaper caricatures appeared and displaced the old style lithograph.
The illustrations of the Tweet Ring drawn by Thomas Nast attracted the students attention most. Professor Hodder pointed out that the drawings of the Tweed Ring were very forceful and effective and said that Tweed offered Nast a half million dollars if he would draw drawing and go to Europe and stay there; of course Nast refused.
In 1874 he stimulated the Republicans by his protravel of the Republican elephant. The elephant is still drawn today.
During the campaign of 1880 a new process of color printing appeared and Joseph Keppler's comic drawings abounded in the weeklies. There has been a lot of controversy over those of our time, especially those of McCutchion are light, but influential
Professor Hodder will give the last of his lectures Thursday afternoon at 3:30 in Fraser hall.
THREE HUNDRED SENIORS
HAVE NO GRANDMOTHERS
Invitation Committee is Not Getting Orders Like Last Year—Tomorrow The Last Chance
Only one hundred and fifty members of the senior class have friends to whom they wish to forward commencement invitations.
WILL LIST SIGMA XIS
A brief history of the organization and growth of the local organization is included in the catalog. It is expected that the complete hook will be issued during the present month of May.
The members of the Kansas Iota chapter of the national Sigma Xi fraternity will be given mention in a general catalog which the general secretary is having prepared. Every member of the organization will be listed with his present address and present work. The corresponding secretary of the local chapter, Prof. W. J. Baumgartner, now has the final proofs of the pages devoted to the Iota chapter.
The invitations this year are the most elaborate ever issued at the University of Kansas and for this reason the apparent lack of interest is all the more noticeable. To date only 1,500 have been ordered by the class of 1912 and this does not begin to afford a comparison with the order for 4,000 given by the class of 1911. The invitation committee will be at the check-stand tomorrow morning, but no orders will be accepted after

ENGINEERS DANCE IN A SPOTLIGHT
Novel Feature Pleases Onlookers and Discomfits Victims--Music Was Good
HAWORTH HONORS THE MINERS
Serves Them Two Course Luncheon-
Prizes Presented at The End of
Fourth Dance.
A fitting climax to the delightful Engineers Day was the dance which was held in Robinson Gymnasium in the evening. Haley's orchestra of Kansas City furnished the music and it was all that could be desired. It was a trifle too liberal with the encores, however, which necessitated the elimination of two dances in order that it might close promptly at 12 oclock.
The room was decorated with white and pea-green trimmings. Japanese lanterns shed a subdued light and the group of tiny vari-colored bulbs in one corner had a very pretty effect. Each school had a particular section reserved for it with the shield of that department glowing with electricity above it. At the entrance, balconies and oak lights were thrown on the dancers as they whirled over the floor, to the discomfiture of the victims and the joy of the onlookers.
After the fourth dance, Dean F. O. Marvin, assisted by B. E. Dodge, manager of the track team, and E. O. Rhodes, president of the Engineers, presented the prizes which had been won in the events in the afternoon.
After the eighth dance Professor Haworth took the boys from the mining school over to Haworth Hall and served them and their partners with a delightful two course luncheon. At this luncheon informal talks were made by Chancellor Strong, Mr. Strong, Professor Twnhofel, Professor Young, Professor Todd, Charles Coats, Charles Hainbach and Miss Beulah Murphy, and Miss Margaret Darran sang a charming solo. Professor Haworth expressed his delight again and again that such a small number of boys that the School of Mines has should win two loving cups that afternoon and come within a point and half of winning the meet.
The entire evening was highly successful and the engineers should be complimented on their managing the event. It was an enjoyable occasion for all.
MUST BE IN FRIDAY
Arch MacKinnon Will be a Check Stand to Receive Petitions.
The announcement of the final date for candidates to file their petitions together with the fifty cents fee was made this morning by Mr. MacKinnon. He will be at the cheek stand in Fraser hall Friday morning from ten until eleven o'clock to receive petitions and the fees.
K. N. G. BOYS BUSY POLISHING BAYONETS
"Well, how are things coming? a Dally Kansan reporter asked Thermo this morning.
All petitions for membership and offices on the Men's Student Council must be handed to the president of the Council, Arch MacKinnon, before six o'clock Friday evening.
The election for the Men's Student
Council will be Australian
bundled. Thursday May 30.
Mr. MacKinnon also calls the attention of the students of the College to the fact that the election of the president and other officers for the president is not only an election that candidates for these offices should make their announcements soon. This election will be in the charge of Don McKay, the president of the College.
The Weather.
"Fine," was the prompt reply from Thermo, as he carefully adjusted the carburer of the new engine which he is mounting on his airplane. "Baro says that tomorrow will be fair and warmer, so I'm preparing for a high flight."
Rumor Says National Guards Will Enter Mexico Within
CAPTAIN STEELE WANTS MEN
a Month
company's Fighting Strength 125
Kansas Troops Through Lower
California - Officers Confer
Company's Fighting Strength 125-
If you desire to go to war, give your name to Captain Steele of the K. U. company of the K. N. G., and the end of this month or the early days of June will see you campaigning against the Mexican fighting hombre-perhaps. Many are the rumors that have flouted around within the last year concerning war with Mexico, but this latest one is beginning to look serious. The war department has had the high officers of the K. N. G., in conference and trouble is so firmly expected by the Guard officers in this state that preparations for it have begun.
The company will be increased to its war strength of 125 men in case we invade the land of section hands, and this is the reason Captain Steele is collecting autographs. Plenty of men have signified their intention of enlisting if the war begins before school is out, so he is especially anxious for the names and summer addresses of those who would go later.
According to the rumor all the guards will be called out and three expeditions will enter Mexico, one at Vera Cruz, one at El Paso and one by way of Lower California. It is expected that the Kansas troops will take the latter route where the most fighting is expected.
The local company, which is now known as the First Provisional Co. will be designated Co. K before it starts, the company which had that letter having been recently mustered out

APPROACHING END OF SCHOOL YEAR
Plans Are Being Made to Entertain Former Students at Commencement
at Commencement.
Having received from the State of Kansas sixteen years or more of instruction in the most important branches of human knowledge, four hundred young men and women will get their diplomas from the University at its approaching commencement, marking the end of their long journey from the first reader to the final text. In the minds of these young people, commencement has a serious aspect in spite of the fact that by reason of the more practical nature of modern education, they are much better fitted to begin making a living than were their predecessors. But there is nothing serious about the occasion in the minds of the old grads who come back each year to renew their youth by a week o
The plans for commencement are to include all of the time honored sports dear to the old grad as well as some new and entirely original stunts planned by the committee on features. The regatta to take place on Potter Lake, Monday June 2, will include swimming contests, canoeing with single, double and mixed crews, tilting and a water base ball game. Tuesday afternoon will present the Alumni vs. Senior baseball game with an old fashioned track meet, guaranteed not too strenuous to affect seriously the constitution of the alumni athlete, in which French, Murray and Woodbury will feature.
The Baccalaureat sermon will be given by Edward Alfred Steiner professor of applied christianity at Grinnell College, and one of the most noted writers on sociology at the present time.
Parades, band concerts and songs by the old college glee club will fill in between the more serious events which include the commencement address by Hamilton W. Mabile, associate of the Outlook, on "Works and Days."
More than a thousand guests will sit at the University dinner, the final event of the week, and the one which every alumnus tries to attend.
BEGIN WORK ON NEW HOME FOR SORORITY
Thetas Expect to Occupy House by Beginning of Next Year
Excavations have been made on the lot purchased by the Theta for a new house. The lot is on Indiana street, directly back of Professor Hodder's house. As soon as the cellar is dug Professor Hodder will build a ten thousand dollar house for the sorority.
When completed the house will have fourteen rooms. The lower floor, with the exception of the kitchen, being open so as to provide a good place for the house will be New England colonial style with a large porch on the south.
The sorority expects to be in their new home by the opening of school in September.
The fourth graduating piano recital was given last Tuesday evening by Miss Josephine McCammon before an appreciative audience. Miss Constance McCammon furnished the readings for the entertainment.
PLAN FOR COMFORT AT SOPHOMORE HOP
Ask Men To Wear Dark Coats and Light Trousers
FARCE DEALS WITH TWINS
Mistaken Identity Makes Fun—Manager Warns The Men in Regard to Smoking in Building.
Arrangements are completed for the Sophomore Hep to be given Friday evening in Robinson Gymnasium. The farce is ready for production and the music will be designed that the audience will not be disappointed in either the play or the music.
FARCE WILL LAST ONE HOUR
The farce deals in mistaken identity. Jack Mayfield and Jack Rayfield are twins who live in the same college town. Rayfield is a married man, however, and lives in the city with his wife. Mayfield is a student in the University, and is engaged to Leoline Hartford. The twins have been separar- or a number of years, and are not aware of their relation. Could a number of mixups occur in the wife and sweetheart mistake the two men. Everything ends well, however, and the men discover that they are twins.
FARCE WILL LAST ONE HOUR
The hop will start at 5:45 and the farce itself will last for an hour. The dancing will begin at 7:30 and a program of twenty-two dances will be given.
One feature of the party will be the full moon. A large number of chairs will be scattered about the campus in convenient and suitable places for the convenience of those who may not care to dance the entire program.
The party will be stricly a summer affair and the men in light [crussers and dark costs and the girls in white] would also make a very pretty combination.
Light but substantial refreshmills will be served.
Some of the song hits are "In't he a handsome man?" "Girl in the Picture," and "I'd rather be a twin than a triplet."
The management wishes to caution the men in regard to smoking in the halls of the building. The rule was violated at the Junior Prom and the faculty threatens to stop the practice by stopping the dancing immediately.
