Sportorials

The favorite to win the Big Six outdoor track meet to be held at Nebraska in May will be Iowa State. The Cyclones showed power in winning the indoor crown. They have several additions to the squad besides eight of the men who were on the championship indoor team. The powerful Iowa Seahawks won a dual meet Saturday from the Cyclones, 59-45.
But don't count the Jayhawkers out. Coach Ray Kanehl has a large squad working daily and several new prospects have developed. The Kansas squad showed strong potentialities during the indoor season and if these can be brought out the Jayhawk thin-clad should make a fine showing at Lincoln.

The first whole week of spring football practice was climaxed last Friday by hard scrimmage. Coaches Shenk, Schaake, and Nesmith put their charges through drills and followed with a "game." Several plays, including two passes, have been given the men, and these were used in the scrimmage. The blocking and tackling are still ragged but signs of definite improvement are evident. The coaching staff plans to hold a good hard scrimmage every Friday under game conditions.

The field has been cleaned and other necessary preparations are being made. All that is needed now is the "go-ahead" signal from the proper authorities and practices will begin, (if the weather will also give its permission).
