1910 TRACK PROSPECTS
HAMILTON HAS 68 MEN AT WORK NOW.
If Every Man Will Do His Duty We Have Some Chance for a Track Team, Says the Coach.
Coach Hamilton says, "If every man will do his duty we have a chance for a winning track team. At this stage of proceedings that is about all that can be said.
Last year the 'Varsity went to Kansas City with hopes almost as rosy as on the late lamented November 25. Likewise as on that woeful day they returned much sadder and a little wiser. The score was, Missouri 662-3. Kansas 221-3—the worst defeat ever suffered.
When the Missourians came here for the outdoor meet and everyone expected to have the dose of the fifteenth of March repeated. Dope failed again. Kansas won, $64\frac{1}{2}$ to $52\frac{1}{2}$. Later in the year Nebraska was defeated by 2 points, but a protest to the conference was necessary in order to win the meet.
This year we have almost the same team we had last year. Newbold, Myers and Cooley are gone. In their places we have a docen men who were on the freshman team last year.
Better than this, there are many men in school who have track ability that are becoming interested and coming out to see what they can do. The foot ball team is furnishing some promising material and the class meets have discovered several men of more than mediocre ability.
As soon as the present stress of work is over Coach Hamilton expects the men to get down and dig. He has posted this notice:
"The following men should att once begin regular training, both as to work and diet. Stop smoking at once. Report for practice as often as possible quiz week and after that every day."
"If every man on this list will do his full duty we will have some chance for a track team."
At present the coach has selected sixty-eight men who have shown up well in practice or in the class meets.
In the 50-yard dash there are three experienced men, Haddock, Roberts and Hamilton, who will be tried. Besides these men Davis, Grignard, Pettit, D. Davis, McKinnon, Rise, McMullenn, all have a chance in the short run. There are twenty-one men desir-Martindell, Johnson, Hamilton Smith, out for the hurdles. Stryker, Winters and French will take a chance at both classes of sticks, while D. Davis and Grignard will try for the low only.
If the quarter is not well taken care of it will be strange indeed as there are twenty-two men running that distance. Among them ae Striker, Baer, Haddock Voods, Cannon, Roberts, Kimbell and Rice.
There are twenty-one men desiring a place in the half. Badger, Kraus and Blackmar have had more experience than the others, but they will have to dig in to keep new men from spoiling their chances.

experience than any other event, Badger, Leslie, Allendorfer, Clark, Gruber, Kraus, Watson, and LeMoine are the old timers among the men that are fighting for a place.
In the two-mile there is a lack of material as compared with the other events. The thirteen men trying out are Emery, Fisher, Gruber, Larson, Nesbit, C. R. and F. W. Shriner, Watson, Belding, Carpenter, LeMoine and Murray. Andy Cummins, who broke the two-mile record in 1907 will be in school and will be a factor in the long run.
The field events have not as many try-outs as the coach desires. He believes there are many men in school who would have a good chance in these events were they only to try for it. The try-outs are: High jump, Johnson, Smith, J. Wilson, E. N. French, Wilson, H. T.; pole vault, Johnson, Wnger, O'Connor, Thompson A., Wilson, H. T.
DR. SHOREY TO SPEAK.
His Subjects Announced for the Week of February 14-18.
Dr. Paul Shorey, professor of Greek in the University of Chicago, will spend the week beginning February 14th, at the University, and will lecture in University hall every afternoon at 4:30 on the general topic of the "Relation of Ancient Life and Thought to Modern."
The subjects of his separate lectures will be "Realism and Idealism in Ancient Literature," "The Genius of Greek and English Poetry," "Jest and Earnest in Plato," "Lucietius and the Poetry of Science," and "The Civilization of the Roman Empire."
Professor Shorey will also speak in chapel Friday morning, and at the Sunday vesper service. His acquaintance with the literatures of all times and languages is probably the widest of any man living, and he is a fluent and pleasing speaker.
Dr. Charles M. Sheldon will address the Y. M. C. A. tonight at 6:45. This meeting takes the place of the regular Thursday evening meeting and all men are invited to attend. An opportunity will be given for an informal talk or interviews with Dr. Sheldon following the meeting.

TWO GAMES THIS WEEK
BASKET-BALL THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY.
The Aggies Will Be Here the First Night and the Terrible Swedes the Second.
Erged on by their success in the Baker games, Hamilton's athletes will take on two other Kansas teams. The intended victims are the K. S. A. C. five and the Bethany college quintette.
The Aggie team comes here with a record almost equal to that of the locals. They defeated Nebraska and trimmed Baker by a score of 61 to 40.
Of the Bethany team little is known, but the Big Swedes generally give their opponents all they can attend to in any line of sport.
WILL BE MUSICAL COMEDY.
Junior Farce Written by Best University Talent.
The junior farce this year promises to eclipse everything of a similar nature that has ever disturbed the mental equilibrium of a junior farce committee.
As yet, the members of the comite are silent as to the plot and story of the farce, but yesterday, after due consideration, it was decided to divulge to a waiting world that this year the junior production was to be a froliesome, Trivolous, mirth-provoking musical comedy.
In view of the fact that it is in charge of that George N. Cohen of Kansas City,—namely, one Moe Friedman—and that the remainder of the committee members are noted as musicians, actors and playwrights throughout the University, the production is sure to rival any of those successful musical comedies now traveling.
Mat Graham of Leavenworth, was yesterday appointed a member of the committee in place of Joseph Murray, who was unable to serve. Graham is well known as a musician and has already written several selections which will be produced the night of the Prom.
FRESHMEN TO RUN RELAY.
Challenge of Missouri for Race at Annual Indoor Meet, Accepted.
The challenge of the Missouri Athletic management for a mile relay between the freshmen teams of the University has been accepted.
Missouri has Wyatt, Catron and two St. Louis men who are said to be every bit as good as these men to hold up her side of the race. On the other hand the local freshmen have not a full relay team.
Coach Hamilton wishes every freshman who can run a quarter of a mile to come out for practice. If they do not, the first inter-collegiate experience of the 1913 track team is likely to be a sad one. The relay will be run in Convention hall the night of the Missouri-Kansas meet.
