KANSAS UNIVERSITY WEEKLY.
The base ball outlook this year is particularly promising. Never before have there been so many men on the field for practice nor so much interest manifested in the sport Manager Simpson announces about forty men who have reported for practice. Captain Poorman is well pleased with the outlook. Outdoor practice is engaged in now every agreeable day, and there is gymnasium practice every evening. Men who are capable of judging material affirm that the 'Varsity team of 01 will be stronger than the running team of last year.
Among the men who are showing up well are: Pitchers: Hall, Alphin, McCampbell and Trussel; Catcher: Shrant; first base: Curry, Pray; second base: Gramly; third base: White and Tucker; short stop: Poorman; center field: Bennett; right field: Welling; left field: Quigly. No positions are definitely filled yet, as there has not been enough outdoor practice to show the men off.

..ATHLETICS..
TRACK TEAM.
一
The Track Team promises to make itself very much in evidence in Spring Athletics, and expects to attract much attention by the excellency of its work. Captain Tobey and his men have already been in training for several weeks, and are rapidly getting themselves in shape for work. The team has every reason to feel encouraged over the rapid development of material. De Lano, who made a record of 9 feet 3 inches last year, promises to break the University record of 9 feet 9 inches this spring. Collooday has only 8 feet to gain before he breaks the hammer throw record. Gilette deserves praise for the progress he has made in the 100-yard dash. Tobey has already broken the University record in the high jump by $ \mathrm{I I}_{2} $ inches. At the regular meeting of the team last week a letter from the Western Inter-Collegiate association was read. The association holds its meet in Chicago, and K U. is especially anxious to send men to compete in this contest. Manager Mains has been corresponding with the various universities, and

hopes to have a full schedule by the time the team begins work. The State meet will either be held here or in Topeka sometime in May. The indoor meet here will come off April 5th. The field meet will be on McCook, April 27th. A triangular meet will take place between Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas State universities in Kansas City. In all probability meets will be held with Denver University, and with Colorado and Iowa State Universities. Following is a list of the men who are trying for the various events :

FOOT BALL.
The University is expending every effort to make the coming foot-ball season a glorious one for the University of Kansas. The season will begin the 25th of September with a full and well planned schedule, and last until the 28th of October. Manager Foster has for some time been arranging the schedule, and now it is all completed, with the exception of two or three dates. Negotiations are still on with Texas and Colorado State Universities. If these games are arranged, the schedule will include five state universities, Wisconsin, Missouri, Nebraska and Colorado; Iowa has been offered five hundred dollars to play us, but she replies that all her dates are taken, and that it will be impossible to arrange a game.
There are a number of facts that make the coming foot-ball season seem a promising one. The prospective eastern trip is the best the Varsity team has ever taken. October 26th we play Wisconsin at Madison and on the 29th we play Beloit college at Beloit. Contrary to former custom the plan is to play one game only with Washburn, Ottawa and State Normal. This arrangement gives us an opportunity to play more teams. Five good games have been scheduled for McCook field, so that the team will have the advantage of playing on home ground, and of having the support of the University.

It seems unaccountable, nevertheless it is a fact, that of the sixty members of the Oread Golf club all,but about a dozen,are men. And it is said that half of this dozen never play. In our neighboring cities, where there are links,the women play in as large numbers as the men,and in the women's colleges in the east,golf is one of the most popular forms of physical exercise. We have such an excellent course that it will certainly be surprising,now that spring is approaching,if none of the University girls become enthusiasts.
