Improved Track Team Will Be Title Contender
By MILO FARNETI
A top high and broad jumper, a good sprinting corps, and a fair quartet of pole vaulters is Coach Bill Hargiss' description of the Jayhawk indoor track team.
Scanning a list of star performers from Big Six schools, Coach Hargiss conveyed the impression that, although he does not expect to win the indoor crown, a number of his boys will give the favored Nebraska and Oklahoma tracksters a battle.
Stoland Is Back
With better balance than last season he expects to be a strong contender. Much of his hopes lie in a long-legged senior, Bob Stoland. Stoland, ineligible last year because he carried a reduced schedule, was Big Six champ in the high and broad jumps two years ago.
"Right now, Bob is good for 10 points in most any meet. His versatility in the jumps, hurdles and quarter makes him a handy man to have around." Hargiss beamed.
"When Darrel Mattes returns to school next semester, my sprinters might match George Koettel and Orv Matthews of Oklahoma, Gene Littler of Nebraska, and Don Walters of Missouri in the 60-yard dash."
Two 13-foot Vaulters
Capt. Bill Beven and John Mitchener have been scraping the 13-foot level in the pole vault. But here too, Kansas has stiff opposition in Dick Higgins of Missouri and Harold Hunt of Nebraska. Been tied for second last season in the conference meet.
In the 440, Orlando Epp and Kenny Hamilton are expected to be chief Jayhawk threats.
Fred Eberhardt and Bill Reid have been shifted from the quarter to the half by Coach Hargiss in order to relieve the congestion of quarter milers and strengthen the distance squad.
Don Thompson and Dick Edwards are expected point winners in the half, mile and 2-mile. Several brilliant distance men, Harold Brooks of Nebraska, Bill Lyda of Oklahoma and Marshall Reeves of Missouri rank above them in pre-season ratings.
Jones Okay Now
J. R. Jones, broad jump winner last March, has recovered from a back injury which impaired his jumping throughout the spring track season. He regularly jumped over 24 feet before the injury and together with Stoland and Harold Wright is expected to corner broad jump honors.
Don Pollom, ranking second to Stoland in versatility, has been performing well in the hurdles, 60-yard dash, and quarter. The fleet sophomore may surprise in the 60- yard low hurdles.
Only in the shot put should Kansas fail to score points. No burly 200-pounder is on hand to hurl the iron ball.
A. A.U. Is First Meet
At present the tracksters are drilling on fundamentals and running form. By the end of next week all runners are scheduled for time trials under meet conditions.
First competition on tap for the Jayhawkers is the Missouri Valley
A. A.U. carnival in the Kansas City Municipal auditorium Feb. 8. Kansas State comes here Feb. 15 and Missouri is scheduled at Columbia for a tentative Feb. 22 date. Kansas closes the indoor season at the Big Six meet in Kansas City March 1.
Research Men To Topeka Meet
Several University faculty members will attend a meeting of scientists and business and industrial men at 10:30 tomorrow morning at the Jayhawk hotel in Topeka to discuss possible industrial research projects for Kansas.
Those attending from here will be Dean Frank T. Stockton of the School of Business; Dean J. J. Jakosky of the School of Engineering and Architecture; R. C. Moore and K. K. Landes, professors of geology; T. H. Marshall, professor of chemical engineering; and R. Q. Brewster, H. C. Allen, and G. W. Stratton, professors of chemistry.
The meeting is being held under the auspices of the State Chamber of Commerce, which recently appointed Dean Stockton as chairman of a special committee to conduct the survey.
No Place For Wife In Samoa
No women, not even wives and sweethearts, are allowed at the U.S. Marine Corps base in the Samoan Islands.
Contemplating a vacation from married life is former student Julia Henry Nessly, whose husband, Lt. Jack Nessly, will be transferred to Samoa sometime in February.
Mrs. Nessly will return to Lawrence to spend part of the time with her parents, Coach and Mrs. Gwinn Henry, and with Lt. Nessly's parents at Mulvane.

180 Dolls On Display In Museum
Each student spends one week each semester preparing hospital drugs and filling prescriptions under the supervision of registered pharmacists. The project was started in November.
180 dolls, count 'em—180.
Roy Boyle, '29, is chief pharmacist at the hospital, and Jack Robertson, '40, is his assistant.
Seniors who worked a week in December are Jim Murphy, William K. Walker, Buddy Lathrop, and Theodore Foster. Reuben Klayder is working there at the present time.
Relax, boys, these dolls are of the inanimate variety. The collection of the late Miss Rosemary Ketecham, former head of the department of design, is on display in Spooner-Thayer museum.
Ranging in size from "egg-shell" to more than two feet, the collection shows figures in costumes of 24 countries, and all periods.
Among the unbelievable sights in the exhibition is that of a Russian "gossip" and a Czechoslovakian girl getting along together, and, of all things, the Archbishop of Canterbury palling around with Scarlett O'Hara. Only in the realm of art could such things happen.
Materials used for the dolls include china, wood, plaster, cloth, cornhusks, shells, fiber, beaded leather, wire, yarn, and redwood bark.
Clad in costumes of brilliant color the dolls show the dress of their countries, and some of the crafts for which the people are famous.
Also on display are a group of military dolls which belong to the museum, a paisley shawl of 1857, made for Queen Victoria as a gift from one of her ladies in waiting, a gold embroidered cloth from Sumatra, and an East Indian water jar and plate, which also belonged to Miss Ketcham.
