UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
CAN KANSAS NINE CLINCH M. V. TITLE?
All Dope Points to a Victorious 1912 Base Ball Team
PESSIMISTS HAD BETTER HIDE
Optomism the Only Prevailing Spirit at K. U.; Should Pull Down State And Missouri Valley Title
It is full time for the proverbial knockers to either douse their little hammers and get a pleasant smile on their faces or else leave the University and go to some place where they will have more opportunity to carry on their pessimistic trade. For besides the other victories that the University of Kansas has pulled down this year, the chances for a Missouri Valley and state championship in baseball are looming up brighter than ever.
In fact, from the way the dope points, it is almost impossible for the Jayhawkers to get out of accepting this honor even if they so desire, and from the way the slabsters are working this last item is farcial.
While the game Saturday did not have any particular significance in itself in regard to clinching the M. V. championship, it nevertheless fill out the dope sheet for the state honors and incidently raises the average of the team. Sherwin's men will meet St. Marys College on McCook field next Saturday for the first time this year. St. Marys led in the state until they were beaten by the College of Emporia, and as the Jayhawkers put the blinders on the latter school last week, the chances for a victory over the Catholics seem clinched.
However, it will be necessary to beat Missouri two more games before Kansas can claim the M. V. title, but as this stunt has already been accomplished twice on McCook, it looks pretty easy for the Jayhawk May 17. And when the two teams clash on Rollin field at Columbia.
The team will leave on a week's trip through the state of Missouri next Tuesday morning. They are scheduled to play games with William Jewell, Missouri Valley College, Westminster and Missouri. Most of these games look like easy victories for the Kansas lads and they should come back swinging the Missouri Valley pennant high over their heads. Anyway an optimistic spirit is certainly prevailing, as it has every reason to exist, and the pessimist at the University of Kansas had better buy a one way ticket to the brush.

OREAD GOLFERS TO PLAY ANNUAL MEET
Handicap Tournament Date Has Been Changed From May 11 to May 13.
The date for the annual golf handicap tournament of the Oread Golf Club has been changed from May 11 to May 13, for the first tryouts for the semi-finals. This change of date has been necessitated because of the match game that will be played with the Evanston Golf Club of Kansas City next Saturday.
The handicap tournament is the largest and most important event of the year for the local team. Only members are allowed to take part and the championship of the club for the past year is determined by the scores made at this time.
The entries are chosen by a committee selecting the sixteen of the highest scorers in the club. These men play the rounds and by elimination are dropped for the semi-finals and finals, until the two highest play off the championship. A. L. Griggs, a Lawrence merchant, has offered an ivory faced driver to the winner. The names of the entries with their handicaps will be announced later.

K. U. GUARD COMPANY PRACTICES SHOOTING
K. N. G. Boys go out on Range Southeast of Town—Rumors of War Are Flying About
Part of the University company of the Kansas National Guard were out practicing on the range southeast of town Saturday. Rumors have been affloat for some time that this company would be ordered to Mexico to quell the disturbances of the insurrections there.
Captain Steele of the local company who returned from a conference with superior officers in Topeka last week says that from the reports that he heard it was not a question as to whether the company will go or not, but simply as to how soon they would go.
The boys are working out their good right arms and training up their aiming eyes so that they will be all in readiness when the call comes.

"Getting what you want when you want it."
You have often heard a clothing salesman
say "We are just out of your size in the $20 suits but I can fit you nicely in the $25 line" or "we haven't that particular style just now but here's something very much like it," or "we have ordered some of those patterns but they haven't come in yet," etc. . The trouble isn't with the salesman; it's in the fact that the store doesn't do a large enough business to justify the expense of carrying a complete stock. It's quite different with our store. Our showing of new styles is perfectly complete at all prices and in all sizes. You can always figure on getting just what you want, just when you want it and for the price you expected to pay, or less. Exceptional values at
