TRACK TEAM MEETS
SOONERS TOMORROW
Fourteen Men Leave Tonight to Compete With Sooners in Cinder Contests
LOOKS LIKE K. U. VICTORY
Dope from O. U. Varsity-Fresh men Meet Gives Kansas the Edge
Fourteen men will go to Oklahoma tonight to meet the O. U. tracksters in the first outdoor meet on the Kansas schedule, which will take place tomorrow at Norman. The day before it looks like a Jayhawk victory, terrorists never know what he up, according to Coach Schaeldman.
The men Coach Schlenedam is waiking are Everett Bradley, Wesemeyer, McGlimis, Phillips, O'Leary, Rhinehart, Dierking, Mediger, James, Patterson, Massey, Sandefur, McAdams and Rogers.
If the condition and ability of the Sooners' Varsity track squad is to be judged by their performances in all university meet held at Oklahoma last week, their chances are slim. The Varsity lost the jow and high hurdles to the freshmen, while a neophyte walked away with the lavellin event.
Meri Clift, former K. U. man, ran the 100-yard event in 10.3, which will not let him place against either Wuestemeyer or Bradley, as either can cut from one to two fifths under that mark very consistently. Bradley is now considered one of the fastest short distance men in the country.
The O. U. track captain, Valberg, won the mile event in five minutes fast against a high wind, but this does not leave him much leeway in which to win that event from the Jahawk entries, Patterson, Massey and James. He will have adverse conditions right on top of McCook Field. The half mile time was slow, Barleyd of the Variety being able to make but 2.2-5. He will have to cut about 8 seconds off that record mark if he expects to place in this event. Berking, Medlair and James are all able of cutting it around 2 and 2.1.
The Varsity were unable to place at all against the Fresh in the hurdles, so that it appears that O. U. is weak. It appears that B. C. is strong. Clure of the O. U. Varsity, made the high mark of 19 feet and 8 inches in the broad jump, Bradley has been doing over twenty in practice right now. He is a hard man for the Sooners to beat.
The best time the Oklahoma man could make in the wo-mile is 10:48 2.5. "Ike" Massey is for at least 9:50 any day. Sandefur and Bradley were for at least 9:50 any day. And discuss events. The best distance was slightly over 38 feet. Either of the K. U. men can make forty two while Sandefur's best heave is 45 feet 5 inches Vogle, a fresh tussled the best heave is 45 feet 5 inches could see only 128 feet. Bradley has been finding the 160 foot mark with the spain in practice.
Fred Club, Oklahoma quarter-miler, run slow, making the short run in 55 laps against a hole again, against a hole again, so that his time will undoubtedly be faster tomorrow. So taking that freshman-Varsity man at O'Connor, the one gives the Jawaharlal Nehru college an unbelieved victory. It looks like a Jayhawk year in track anyway.

Baker and Kansas University Open Baseball Season at Lawrence Monday

Kids Played Marbles In Days of Confucius
All "juveniledom" is playing marbles and every youngster's trousers pocket is bullying with "stones, ages and glassies." The game of marbles is perhaps the oldest game in the world, but its origin is lost in the
haz of antiquity. It is certain that the Egyptian and Roman children played the game much as it is played today because there are on exhibit a number of "tawu" and "glassesia" in the British museum dug from ancient ruins.
The earliest unmistakable reference to the game of marbles is found in a French poem of the twelfth century entitled "Bille," Tradition attests that many of these games were leading up to the seventeenth century. There are records in these colleges which show that the game was forbidden on the steps of the Bodleian and Senate House in 1657. Interest in the contents as was great as that which may be an interglacial cricket match.
The game was known to the Chinese and Hindus of ancient times, Alabaster "tawns" have been discovered among the ruins of old India; while some of the earliest fortresses fantastically, have been unearthined in the old Artee cities of Mexico.
"The same game was played extensively throughout the British Empire hundreds of years ago, says Drew Huntley, director of the English." She also minutely explains such games as "knockout," now commonly known as "keeps," "pursued," "ring taw" and many others, among the younger generation.
COURSING MEET SUNDAY
Fastest Dogs in State Entered in Lawrence Event
A coursing meet in which some of the fastest greyhounds in the state are entered, will be held by the Lawrence Cursing Club Sunday, beginning at 2:30 o'clock, at an oval track two miles east of Lawrence on the Eudora road and one-fourth mile south of Noria.
This is the first course meeting held in or near Lawrence, but members of the club are confident that coursing is extremely popular among dove lovers.
Tom Rice of Garnett, will judge the events. He is a widely-known dog man and has judged many such meets. The track will be enclosed in burial; so that the rabbits will have to run until the kill is made. The dogs will be run two at a time and the decision will be given on points.
Coursing is very popular in the southeastern part of Kansas and in Oklahoma. At Tulsa, the dogs are trained to run around rabbits and rabbit sets the race, Kansas City, Mo. is taking up the idea and it is understood that sport enthusiasts are planning several meets. Coffeville holds such a meet for several days last
Dog raining can not be "fixed," as any attempt to do so would easily be detected.

PLANT LOUSE LATEST PEST
Insect Found in Alfalfa Fields of Southern Kansas
The latest discovery of insect pests working in the Kansas crops is the alfalfa plant house, according to Prof. S. J. Hunter, state entomologist and head of the department of entomology at the University of Kansas. The insect has been found at work in the alfalfa fields of southern Kansas, and Hunter determined that entire southern die off of counties is infested.
Southern Kansas
The plant louse, according to Professor Hunter, is of the same family of insects as the green bug, and is one of the most numerous. The louse has been at work on the new shoots of alfalfa that have come up since the recent frost killed the more advanced shoots. The louse reproduces by the rate of two offspring per hour.
"As for a method of combatting the plant louse," says Professor Hunter, "no effective methods have been developed to kill it. Do not find no parasitic enemy of the louse plant as yet. The most adversible method of hindering the louse is to harrow the hindering of alfaalfa with a narrow, and then cross burrow."
Carl Ade, c'24, will spend the weed end in Kansas City.
Dr. R, C. Moore, head of the State Geological Survey and Mr. D. W, Williams, Chief of the Kansas Oil and Gas section are in Tepeka as expert witnesses in an oll case in the Federal Court there.
