One Hundred Men Report for Initial Football Practice
Most of Freshman Team and 12 Letter Men From Last Fall Are Out
Spring football was formally assembled in today with the beginning of practice on the fields south of the gymnasium. Nearly one hundred men reported for the first practice and went through two hours drilling in fundamentals. Practice in pitting, passing and talking played a vital part of time with about a half hour devoted to a lecture by Coach Cappon.
Twelve letter men from last year were out in addition to a number of last year's squadr members who did not make letters, and a host of promising freshmen who were the mainstays of last year's freshman squad.
Line Looks Good
The Kansas line promises to be up to its usual standard with Cramer and Sheak, both letter men, trying out for the end position. Burton and Hauser, also letter men, will be fighting for the tackle births, and Kullman and Myers are the best bets for the guard positions.
In the backfield will be *Captain Barret Hamilton*, a two letter man, who will pilot the team through the 1927 season. Hamilton is a good passer and punter and a sure tackler. Rump will be the best player to prove his worth the latter part of the last season, is also out for practice and should be a valuable man for Kansas, McMillen, Fritz, Mackie and Shannon, are other K men who are in spring training. Mackie will be remembered as a man who hosted the Sloyd goal in the Oklahoma-Kansas game last fall.
Team to Study Fundamentals
Team to Study Fundamentals
Practice sessions will continue for five weeks only in the fundamentals of the game, according to Coach Cappon. Coach Cappon has requested all men who will be eligible for football next year to turn in their names so that he can have all of the available material.
Prospects for a winning team look only fair at this time, according to Coach Cappon, and he is making no predictions as to the outcome of the game. He says the scrappy team, however, strong both in the line and in the backfield. The defensive ability of the K. U. line is well known to all Missouri Valley followers and the Kansas coach, Jerry Spross, is strong a defense as in other years.
All-Valley Team Is Named
Kansas City Star Announces Coaches' Pick of Men
...
The official all-vacancy team:
Forwards, Samba, Nehaska
and Byers, Kannas, Aggie,
Center, Peterchen, Kannas (69-1)
Eight valley coaches made the selection which was published in the Kan san city Star. The fact that the season they closed was almost close related in the final choice. Four schools are represented and no single team occupied a position in the valley standing which warranted undue preponderance of positions on the mythical队。
Guards: Burton, Kansas, and LeCrone, Oklahoma.
Petersen and Burton won favor with all the coaches and their choice was not contested. "Pete" was given the captainship of the team simply because no other was so worthy of the boxing championship, but the Kansas center on the all-Vaillay. He first won the position on scoring ability but none deny that he is now the most versatile, cool, and powerful athlete in the Valley on both offense and defense. That he has not lost his scoring ability shows is included by the fact that he led the Valley in points scored this year.
Burton also won a berth because of his power, scoring ability, and coolness under fire. The big Jayhawk has messed up more close-in shots and played the ball in the Valley. Zeke's worth was first proved last year when Gordon was moved to forward and a guard was needed. When the season closed he was invaluable to the team and he has maintained the same form throughout. He should improve even more and take his place in the Kansas hall of fame.
Petersen is lost to Kansas and the loss is great. He is without question one of the greatest developed undergraduates and no more can be said of any man.
Big Ten Athletes Faster Than Valley Track Teams
The Big Ten athletes outscored the Missouri Valley men in eight of the nine identical events which were held in the indoor championship meet. The single event in which the Missouri Valley conference excelled the Western conference was in the 60 yard dash, in which Grady of Kansas equalled the Missouri Valley record of 5.4. seconds. His time was one-lenth of a second faster than Kris, Ohio State. In the first game Wisconsin won the Big Ten meet with 28 points and Oklahoma won the Valley contest with $27 \frac{1}{2}$ points.
The stars of the two conferences begin their interference competition soon in the Texas Relays at Austin, the last of this month, and will meet again in the Kansas and Ohio relays, in the middle of April, reaching the climax in the Drake relays the last of April.
Many K. U. Track Men Were Not Promising While in Prep School
Survey of Squad Shows That Several of Stars Were "Made" Here
The college man who does not go out for track because he never did anything in high school, thinks he is too small, or failed in some particular event he tried, can take heart from the results of a survey of the men now representing Kansas in this sport.
In high school Charles Doornbos, captain, was state champion in the 880 yard run. Hurdles were the least of his worries and since coming to college he has developed as a specialized stick artist and nothing else. Grasty, star dash man, was the weight representative for Colby high school in 1923 and never tried the dashes. Last year in the Valley 220 varsity team he helped Locke, holder of the world's record, Sweeter a High School Dash Man
Springer was a dash man in his prep school days and now he runs nothing less than a half mile. Williams, who is rounding into a fine miler, never had a spike on until last year in freshman competition. In 1923 and 1924, Epstein, of Missouri was interscholastic half mile champion and Surgeon, of Kauai, was born from a cinder path or thoughts of one. Saturday night he gave Epstein the scare of his life. Most of his development has come this year. Rooney, holder of the Kansas 440 yard record and present freshman coach, was given the merry razz when he started out for track. He stuck at it with little success until his junior year, where relay team and were elected to captain the team in his senior year.
Firebaugh Thought Impossible
Firebaugh Thought Impossible Firebaugh, a brilliant star in his dressing room, had the dressing shed because he was considered worthless as a trackster. Pratt, who drove the mile record before it fell last week, was likewise considered in the way at the shed and never thought he could run a race.
Fraizer, the greatest distance runner in the history of the school, ran in a state high school meet in 1924 and failed to place. He now holds the K. U. mile and two mile record and was expected by many to set a new Valley two mile mark in Drake State. The distance is no factor if the man has ambition. When he took second in the Valley cross-country race last fall he weighed but 111 pounds and is the smallest man to ever win a "K".
The scores of the seventh corps area intercollegiate gallery matches have just been received by the officers of the local R. O. T. C. In the senior units, four stages were fired and the total score counted.
Rifle Team Ranks Fourth
Kansas Men Chosen to Shoot in National Meet
The University of Kansas Men's rifi team ranked fourth out of a total of 18 teams entered in the matches. The University of Arkansas was first, and was followed by the Universities of Missouri, Minnesota and Kansas, in the order named. The Kansas score was 7756 out of a possible 8000.
L. E. Muller, captain of the K. U. team, was named as the fourth best markman of the division. He fired a vore of 788, the 10th best.
The matches were completed recently and will be followed by the senior national match to be held soon. The University of Kansas team has been chosen as one of the six teams to compete against the seventh core area in 'is match'.

Chet Wynne Attacks Football Rules Altered at Coaches' Requests
Former Gridiron Star Scores Change by Conference
Officials
(Hundred Brews)
Omana, Nebu, March 14—Sectional and conference changing of rules "nurely to suit the whims of individual coaches" met condemnation in an article written by Chet Wynne, Creighton University coach, and published in "Shadows," Creighton publication, today.
Wyme, former all-American grid star, assured the tendency of conferences to make their own special rules "Sometimes these rule changes are necessary." Minnesota was unable to schedule a game at the big Ten meeting last December because they employ the shift. In plain words, the teams from Florida and Texas
"In other words, if Minnesota used a simple offense, and one that her opponents could understand, they would be given games." Wryme said. "He added that "to satisfy two or three soliclish coaches, whose positions in football depend on continued success," the rule was railroaded to adoption."
"Michigan remembers well its narrow escape in the last Minnesota game. The three leading coaches of he Big Ten ruled the shift out by bracing a two-minute stop rule against t.
The former all-American player was emphatic in his statement that conference officials should leave the rules alone "so long as we have a national rules committee to make necessary 'hangs.'"
