"M.U. RUNNERS BREAK TRACK RULES"-ALLEN
Says Both Places in Mile Run Should Go To Kansas Men
K. C. STAR SCORES M. U.
Bradley Rammed Into by Hil Causing Loss Of Relax
Kansas should have had both places in the mile run at the dunlind indoor meet with Missouri in Convention Hall last Friday night, according to Track Coach Karl Schleideman and Director of Athletics Forrest C. Allen. They cited official track competition rules which prohibit any teaming or adherent of the organization for which he is competing.
"Section Eighteen, of the Rules of the Amateur Athletic Union of America," under the title of "The Course," covers the rules of running provided as a penalty that the offender be disqualified. No action was taken against the Missouri runner, Saville, until after he had voluntarily quit the race, and Brasfield, the other Missouri man, was paced by the coach ahead of both Wilson and Patterson. Before quitting the race in the sixth lap, Saville had repeatedly interfered with the two Kansas runners, running slow and slowing up, then elbowing them. He dropped out at the halfway mark of the first race. Grover, who had nothing to do with the conduct of the men after they were started off. Both Kansas men have made faster time on the same track. In the K. C. A. C. meet last month, Wilson made time of 435.45, while Lance Anderson made time approximately 435.45, from five to seven seconds faster than the 431 time that won the race for Brasfield. Wilson, one of the Kansas milers, still has a sore log from an attempt at spiking, the injury to his heel still provides, according to Coach Schadman.
In the half-mile, Meidinger, leading was bumped off the track on the inside by a Missouri runner, and nearly thrown off his stride. He managed to run two or three steps on the inside of the track and to regain his footing. No cognizance of this occurrence was made by the officials.
in the mile relay, the second runners, Hill of Missouri, and O. Bradley of Kansas, were running in the second lap, when Hill rammed Bradder in the side and knocked him off the track. This was where the Tiger team got the big lead that enabled them to win, Kansas fans say.
Three men were entered in competition in the 16-pound shot put, according to Coach Schleidman, although but two men are allowed by the team. Captain Brudley, Coach Schleidman and Dr. allen protested, before the officials acted, Brutus Hamilton, Missouri athlete, waved his teammate off the shot ring. McClung and Hamilton were the two Missouri athletes who contested, Lewis, brother of the 15-year-old said to be the third shot-putter.
In an article in Monday's Kansas City Star, a witness of this K.U.-M.U. track meet signing as "a lost friend," makes a very scathing criticism of the conduct of the Missouri runner, Saville, and the coaching staff that allowed pushing, blocking and shoving of the Kansas runners.
Velimirovic Cancels His Engagement Here
The writer has lost faith in the sportmanship of Missouri which he had thought traditional and deplores the effect of the meet on the fathers and mothers of the ward school contestants, who were not Kansans, but after the mile race hissed Saville and Missouri.
The Right Reverend Bishop Nicholas Velliminovic, of the Orthodox Church who was to speak before the Women's Forum this afternoon in Fraser church was unable to fill his engagement on account of illness.

Two Kansas City Men and One From Topeka Will Give Decision
BOTH SCHOOLS OPTIMISTIC
Engineers Will Keep Cup Permanently if They Win This Year
The third annual Engineer-Law debate will be held in Fraser Chapel at 7:45 o'clock Wednesday evening. The debate will be open to the public, and, as the annual clash between Marvin and Green halls is one of the biggest events this year, a large attendance is expected. No admission will be charged.
Nathan Mookin, Richard Dumman and H. M. Taylor, who will represent Marvin Hall, have the affirmative of his choice. He will have a share in the management if industry through representatives of its own choosing. John Mitchell, David Sheffrey and Eugene Wheeler, both from the firm, and the negative of the proposition.
At a joint meeting of the Engineer and Law committees, it was decided to secure judges from out of town. Mr. Mike principal of the Kansas City, Ky., law firm, Pearson of the Kansas City, Kansas schools will be two of the judges. Superintendent Stouf of the topkea schools has been invited as the third judge, but it is not yet whether he will be able to be present.
Ethnismism for their respective teams is running high in both of the schools, and the students of each school express the belief that it is going to be one of the most interesting verbal battles of the year.
Professor C. C. W Williams, one of the coaches for the engineering team, declared that Marvin Hall had a very strong team.
"I have been listening to several of their practice debates," he said, "and I believe that their arguments are strong enough to make any prediction as to the outcome of the context, but of course I believe that we are going to win. The team has been doing some thorough work and has a wonderful line of argument."
The School of Law is optimistic, but not quite so confident as the engineering students.
"I wouldn't make any prediction about the debate," said Prof. A. J. Harro, one of the Law coaches, "but I will say that the boys have been working hard, and we are going to show them a good fight."
"I am afraid that the engineers don't stand much chance," said L. O. Fink, one of the members of last year's Law team, "The Law team this year, is much stronger than we were last year."
F. C. Stringfellow, also one of the Law team of last year, expressed the belief that the Law team this year was better, and had a stronger line of argument than the team last year.
"Just tell them," said R. R. Ryan, chairman of the engineering committee for the debate, "that our team has been putting in some harl licks, and that we are going to show them a good script."
The fact that the engineering students have won twice consecutively, will be their permanent, has crystalized the sentiment in both schools.
