UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN LAWRENCE, KANSAS
PAGE FIVE
Who Says They Couldn't Stand Nervous Strain?
If this were the spring of 1923, a student could open his Daily Kansan and read the following about women's sports.
"Women are not ready for competitive athletics. It is true that women in the East are playing but they have no studies. The average University woman could not stand up under the nervous strain."
Bv. 1925 Girls Were Racing
But if it were 1925, a student could read that the average University woman was heaving javelins and shot putts, racing around the track on 220-yard relays and leaping high hurdles for 60-yards. In this year one feminine enthusiast jumped 29 feet and 5 inches to break the University record for the hop, skip and jump.
One feminine intramuralist threw the baseball 200 yards, which was 59 feet further than the previous record. She also hurled the javelin 55 feet and 8 inches.
In May, 1926, the women were participating in the telegraphic track meet, which was held here at the University. The events included the bicycle race, 60-yard high hurdles, discus throw, the 50-60-75-yard dashes and the 600-yard relay. Last but not least, the women participated in the baseball throw.
The year 1926 found the women of the University breaking records. Records in baseball throw, the 50-yard dash, the hop-step-jump, and the high jump were broken during spring competition.
The last record of the women track team is in 1933. The reason for its abandonment is not known.
However, the competition has not been abandoned entirely. In spring, the University women puts on her track shoes again and chases her man down a lane instead of a cinder track.
KU Begins Series With K-State
The University baseball team starts its two-day double header series with the Kansas Aggies at Manhattan today hoping to boost their win record with a repeat per-team of their last effort against the Aggies.
When the Jayhawks met the Wildcats here two weeks ago Coach Bradford's men came out on top with scores of 9 to 8 and 3 to 2. If carefree they will win one home on record of four victories against six defeats.
Both teams will probably use the same starting lineups used in the previous game, with Dick Gilman starting the first game on the mound and Kane and "Leffy", Hammer drawing the second day's pitching assignment.
Probable starting lineups are:
Kansas State
Bartley, cf
Ives, lf
Atkins, 2b
Brewin, 3b

Plans for an outdoor art exhibit were discussed at a meeting of Delta Phi Delta Tuesday in the projection room of the department of design.
The exhibit, to be held May 18, 19, and 20, will be in the grove near Robinson gymnasium.
Carolyn A. Campbell, president, heard progress reports from committees covering the work of obtaining material to make frames for entries, publicity, finances, and rules governing entries.
K.U. Meds—Want A Job?
Donna, Texas. (UP) - Donna is a
youth medical clinic in Dallas,
hospital, but only one doctor.
Citizens raised $35,000 for the hospital while a similar amount was being pledged by a town benefactor. Then residents learned that one of their two doctors was leaving Donna.
The town also is without a dentist, although a new office building has a suite set aside for dental offices just waiting for a dentist to move in.
'Alcohol Will Dull Senses'
Johnson Tells Students
"How important is two-fifths of a second?" Hayward H. Johnson, representative of the Methodist board of temperance, asked University High school students Tuesday morning.
Speaking at a special assembly in Fraser theater, Mr. Johnson pointed out that many accidents are caused by persons whose senses have been dulled by only a slight amount of alcohol.
