Valley Conference Holds Telegraphic Rifle Competition
Regulations Same as Those
Governing R. O. T. C.
Meets; Teams Composed of Ten Men
Next week the University of Kansas will participate in a Missouri Valley telegraphic rife match with Florida. The team will restrict for men who make up the team. Every man in the University who is eligible for conference competition, may try out, according to the U.S. Army Department of military science and tactics.
The local unit of the R. O. T. C. will furnish rifles, targets, and ammunition for practice shots and for the match. Rules and regulations governing the match will be the same as those which have governed previous R. O. T. C. matches except that the team will be composed of ten men from the University instead of ten from the R. O. T. C.
Nebraska Promotes Match
Is Try-out for Minor Sport
Targets used will be the National Rifle Association gallery target for fifty feet, distance measured from the muzzle of rifle to the target. A commissioned officer on duty at the University must witness the firing. The positions will be standing, kneeling, siting, and prone—ten shots in each position. Two sighting shots are allowed in each position.
Last fall, Prof. W. W. Davis faculty representative for the University of Kansas on the conference board, made a resolution in the committee to make rifle shooting a Valley minor sport. It was voted down, but a special committee was created to look into minor sports, to include rifle shooting. This committee will report in May.
The gun sling may be used in all positions in connection with one arm only. Slow fire, an average of one shot per minute is the rate of fire. The marked targets will not be sent in. A certified copy of the team's score will be sent in to the University of Nebraska, promoter of the match
"This match is a tryout for the sport," said Major Turner. "Whether or not rifle shooting will be recognized as a minor sport in the Valley next fall, depends on the success of this match. The military department will be glad to see every man who want to take part in this match."

For the first time in many years, K. S. A. C. and K. U. will meet on the mat in the Monday night encounter.
Right now the matter of picking the ALValley team is worrying the sport fans. There are two men who are certain to place in the first string of the mythical—John Wolf and Paul Endacott.
For the first t meet in several years Haskell is offering courses in boxing and wrestling as part of the gym work of that institution.
Kansas has the poorest attendance at wrestling matches of any of the big western schools.
Poty needs southpaws and needs them bad. There is lots of good material over the campus, but much of it turns to grass-glatterer and luna-tails as the weather warms up, making them unfit for athlete endeavor. If they would put half the warm nights in learning the stellar constellations these warm nights, it would help matters materially.
Baseball practice is being hold every evening now from 2:30 until 4:30.
The track squad has two more in-
door meet this season—the Kansas-
Missouri Dual in Convention Hall
next Friday evening, March 6,
and the Missouri Valley Conference
meet in Convention Hall, March 24.
It looks as if the Jayhawk track squad could follow the lead of their basketball brothers and brothers with the Missourians another trimming next week.
Nor are the conference meet prospects in the least discouraging.
Now that the basketball season has passed, Wootenemeyer will be able to do his track suit and again warm up the cinders for Kansas. The track squad is strong in the sprint department this year.
H. W. Arant, dean of the School of Law, will speak over the Star's broadcasting station next Monday at the University of Texas' Training in Business and Industry."
Iowa Mat Artists Lead in Western Conference
Ames, Iowa, March 2—The most important change the past week in the standing of the Western Conference wrestling race for premier honors occurred when the University of Iowa defeated Wisconsin by 16 to 11 points. Both teams had a clean slate until they met. The score was Ames in Minnesota by the biggest score made by any team this year, 31 points to 0 for Minnesota.
Attendance records are being made everywhere. Ohio State has gone wrestling mad, over 5,000 attending the University of Kentucky meet there, 4,000 attendent at Iowa City; Virginia attended the Ames-West Virginia meet at Ames, and 3,500 attended the Nebraska-Kansas University meet at Lincoln. The Ohio State promoters expect a crowd of 10,000 to attend the college in Columbia. Pionnships held in Louisiana March 16 and 17.
Coach Clark Cautions Players About Overtraining Before Limbering Up
Fifteen Letter Men Take First Workout In Baseball Practice
The first baseball practice of the year was hold yesterday at 2:30 p. m. The practice, which consisted of "high-low" and "knocking flies," lasted 5:30. From now on the men will be in action between those hours under the direction of "Potsy" Clark, until 4:30, when John Wenner, captain of the team, will call for the remainder of the afternoon. This will enable Coach Clark to be with the football men from 4:30 on.
Coach Clark cationted the men about injuring their arms by overstraining them before they were lumbered up. He also announced that men who intend trying out for baseballs will be with him by the end of this week.
Suits were issued to Wendell Bloomer, Frazier, Staplin, Lonborg Luce, Colo. Arnstrong, White, David McComb, Brannen, Wilber, Luz, and Katherine Ginsburg. Suits for the last year's teams or have been regular in reporting for work in the
gymnasium. Several other men were out for practice and were told by Coach Clark that, when they have finished their own suits, they must furnish their own suits.
The practice was ended by two laps around the cinder track. "This will get the men in good physical condition and keep them if there carried out every evening," said Coach Clark. "It is essential to go in good posture to begin infield and outfield work, and hitting practice.

Hart Schaffner & Marx Coats for Women
The women's swimming meet will be held Tuesday, March 27, at 7:30 p.m. This is the first interclass meet to be held here. In former years individual meets have been scheduled later in the year, either in April or May, but class meets have never been attempted before. The meet will consist of races using the breast stroke, side stroke, back stroke, trudging stroke, all strokes, in the plunge, dives, under water swimming and class relays.
There is still time for women to come out to make the team, according to Miss Hoover. Juniors and freshmen practice at 4:30 p. m. on Wednesday, and sophomores at 4:30 p. m. on Tuesday. The class teams will be chosen from those who come out to practice.
Women students at Northwestern University are outstripping the men in both the variety of their sports and academic pursuits. While 1,627 women are devoting their time to physical education, only 1,277 of the men are enrolled in athletic activities, including basketball and track.
The juniors have far the greatest umber of applicants, according to liss Ruth Hoover, instructor, but the ther classes are not well represented. Gladys Mullins does the best under water swimming and the fastest breast stroke. Dorothy Higgins the best plumping, and Gladys inder the fastest time for the crawl. All of these women are junis.
Dr. H. M. Kelsey, of the department of chemistry, will speak over the radio in Kansas City tonight on the "Story of Radium."
