Kansas Yearlings Should Place High in Valley Stand-
The K. U. freshman track team set some high marks yesterday afternoon in the Missouri Valley Freshman Teles graphic Meet. Two school records were broken, the pole vault and fresh high jump. The freshmen' fresh knock both of these records. Some unusually good work was done in most of the events.
Fisher, the fresh dash man, ran the 100- yards in 10 seconds flat and the 220-yard dash in 21.4-5 seconds. Graham took first in the broad jump with a leap of 22 feet 2.1-2 inches, placed second in the shot put, and third in the 100-yard ash. Grady, the diminutive mileer, ran his race in 4 minutes 48 seconds. Watson, the dash master, ran in 53 seconds. Lewis had an 890-yard run in 2.0-4 and 3.8-millilion in the 2-mile finished in 10:59.32. The freshman relay team, composed of Watson, McCoy, Lewis and Graham ran the distance in 3:41.1
In breaking the pole vault record, formerly held by Carey Rogers at 11 feet 10 inches, Norton cleared the bat at the height of 12 feet 1-2 inch. In a jump, Norton made 6 feet 2-1.2 inches, which is 3-4 inches higher than the former record, also set by Norton in the K. C. A. C. Court. Early this spring, Bide this work took the shot put well into the distance, took the shot put well into the distance, took the shot put well into the distance, took the shot put well into the distance, took the shot put well into the distance, took the shot put well into the distance, took the shot put well into the distance, took the shot put well into the distance, took the shot put well into the distance, taken the shot put well into the distance, taken the shot put well into the distance, taken the shot put well into the distance, taken the shot put well into the distance, taken the shot put well into the distance, taken the shot put well into the distance, taken the shot put well into the distance, taken the shot put well into the distance, taken the shot put well into the distance, taken the shot put well into the distance, taken the shot put well into the distance,

The results of the meet .ill not be available for a few days as it is necessary to gather the reports from the various schools competing together and judge places and scores by a comparison of times and measurements. The figures set by the Kansas first year men are high enough to assure them of a place close to the top of the list.
440 RECORD STILL UNBROKEN
Ted Meredith Set the Mark in 1916
1916
New York, May 18 (United Press)
— While spirit records and field marks have been consistently shattered in the past two years, the quarter-mile record of 47 4-5 seconds made by the great Ted Meridith in March the few that have remained beyond much of the present day superstars.
How long Mereidith will remain as the fastest man of all times at 140-yards seems to be up to the willingness of Allen Woodring of Syracuse University, the Olympic 200 meters champion, to go out for it.
Not excepter Charley Paddock, the Pacific Coast flyer, Woodring has been regarded as the fastest man in the world today at 220 yards, but owing to his rather sleight build he had not been considered a record-making possibility at a quarter-mile until the Penn relay games recently.
Running as anchor man for Syracuse in the one-mile college relay championship, Woodring got away seven yards behind Bill Stevenson, Princeton captain and the national quarter-mile champion. Woodring ran him off his feet and won the race after doing a quarter in the unofficial time of 47 4-5, equalling the world's record.
Considering the fact that the timers all caught him the same and that the event was run late in the afternoon, when the track was chopped to by two days of incense burning and smoking, the performance was phenomenal.
If he maintains the form he had in that race, there is little doubt that Wooding will be able to make a new record for the quarter on the track in June, if he goes on to win in the intercollegiate championships.

PLAN INTERNATIONAL MEMORIAL SERVICES
Allied Veteran's Organizations to Decorate Buddies' Groves May 30
Indianapolis, Ind., May 18 (United Press) — Memorial Day, May 30, will be observed throughout the world this year by the American Legion.
Originally designated by the Union veterans of the Civil War as a particular Decoration Day for their fallen comrades, May 30 gradually has become a day set apart in memory of all Americans who died for their country. Although it has long been the custom of many southern states to observe a memorial holiday of their own on April 26, the tendency to a uniform observance has been apparent since the World War.
The Legion, composed of Northern and Southern representatives, officially adopted May 30 as its Memorial Day and posts of the World War men in both sides of the Mason-Dixon line have, for the last three years, simple honor-bearers hired their dept. on the City Spanish-American and World wars.
This year it will be observed by Legion posts and Allied veterans' organizations in the following countries other than the United States. Turkey, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, British Isles, Chile, Costa Rica, Panama, Peru, Porto Rico, Portuguese West Africa, Santomino, Spanish Honduras, India, Venezuela and in the islands and the territory of Alaska.
The Legion will decorate and hold appropriate exercises over the gravy of every American who sleeps on forign soil, as well as thus honoring the graves of American and Allied veterans who are buried in the cemeteries of this country. Legion posts in France, Belgium, Poland and Turkey will visit old battlefields and adjacent cemeteries.
The Legion will not confine its exercises and decorations to the memory of the World War heroes alone. The graves of all veterans of all American wars will be visited. The efforts of the legion have many graves of Civil War veterans being rescued from obscurity and the graves of several veterans of 1812.
A similar plan of keeping a close and honored watch on graves of Americans buried overseas has been evolved.
