Jayhawk Runners Go to Enter Rice and Texas Relays
Kansas Men Will Compete in 440 and 880 Yard Races, Special
Events
Dr. H, C. Huff with six dayhawk sprinter, left this afternoon at 3:30 for Kansas City, from which place they took the train direct for Austin, Texas, where Kansas is entered in the Texas Relays Friday.
On Saturday the team will go to Boston to compete in the Rice Institute rehearsal. At both meets they will practice at 800 and 880 yard relay events.
McNersey will brook jump and is favored to take the event if he can go in his usual form, while Grudy probably will race in the 100 yard dash. McNersey won his event at the Illinois rehays last week, and then at the 75-yard dash, close behind the winner who tied the word's mark.
Captain Cliff Cooper, "Lad" Grad, Sol McNerney, Paul Woods, John Shannon and George Jones are those who made the trip. From this group they can be seen with a team to run in each relay, using a fresh man in each event.
The trip is being made primarily in the interest of the relay men and Huff plans to enter the men in the relays first and in the special events, providing they do not interfere with the running of the relays.
By using different combinations in both the quarter-mile and half-mile races on different days, he hopes to improve the line on the ability of the dash men.
Cooper, Woods, Mellnerney and Grady ran regularly in the sprint relays last year. Jones is a sophomore, number of the mile relay quartet.
Included among the entrants in the two rehops are many Missouri valley, Big Ten and Southwest conference schools, in addition to a large number of small institutions and outside teams.
The men expect to return by Monday morning.

Apple Trees Are Grown From Fatherless Seed
Saimen Serviell.
New York, March 21). Healthy apple trees grown from seeds that never had a father have been produced in Switzerland, according to Dr. Charles Woodward of the University of London, who is now studying at the University of Lausanne, England.
The production of seed by unpolluted flowers is not unknown in the United States, but it has become regularly form axial seed and many other plants do likewise; but it has long been almost a phlogem that viable apple seeds could not be formed without the intervention of an element which comes from the pollen.
The Swiss trees, according to Doctor Swingle, who writes in the forthcoming issue of Science, have been grown from seeds produced by flowers which had been deprived of their ammonia and also with bags to store them. They can be frozen from other flowers. Their fruits are identical with those of their mother trees, which rarely is the case in ordinary seedling apples but regularly occurs with asexually propagated, that is, grafted, trees.

Although Structure Was Part of Municipal System, Loss Is Taken Care of
(Volunteer Service)
Washington to fetch 21—A shortage of water and electricity in the regions around Los Angeles, Calif., will be the chief effects of the breaking of the St. Francis dam. Since the dam drained into the ocean through a valley entirely separate from that in which Los Angeles was located, the city itself was in no danger from flood.
The dam was part of the Los Angeles municipal system, and while it was not used for hydro-electric power, one of the two largest of the city-owned power plants was in the San Diego basin. It was put out of business by the flood. As only part of the city's power is obtained from these plants, a large amount being purchased from private companies, the loss in power could be
About 1,655,000,000 cubic feet of water was impounded in the reservoir behind the St. Francis dam, before the heavy rains burst it and empiled the waters from the Sierra Madre to the Clarra river and thence to the Pacific near the city of Ventura. Though not the country's largest dam, it was in the front rank as far as size was concerned. It is compared with 286 feet for the Rosewood dam, in Arizona. The largest is
the Exchequer bank, in northern California, which is 330 feet high. The St. Francis dam was 650 feet long, and 169 feet thick at the base.
