Old Man Dope Sees Victories in Stiff Schedule This Spring
BRADLEY TO BE KEYSTONE
Eight Other Letter Men Hope to Win on Cinders and Turf
Old Man Dope, sitbing busily at his desk, and arranging countless compilations and inimitable statistics, patience, bravery, labor. A visitor had entered the room.
"What kind of a track team will the University of Kansas have this year?" the visitor asked bluntly.
The Old Man looked over his records until he came to the letter "K," and then searched until he found "Schlade- man."
"I-h m-m-m" he hesitated, "Well, it looks like the best team in several years, but I refuse to be too optimistic. You see it's this way—"
And the visitor, taking out his pencil, copied the hot-stove seer's words as follow:
"Of course, Kansas has a full schedule. The first meet will probably be held in inception hall, Kansas City, the last Saturday in February, at which time the annual K. C. A. C carnival will hold forth. Then the Jayhawker squad will be represented at the Illinois Rain relay, March 5, and June 14. Then the annual Kansas-Missouri indoor meet, March 18. If present plans are perfected, the Kansans will journey to Norma, Okla., April 15, and the Drake relays at Des Moines will prove an attraction April 22. A few of the Crimson and Blue athletes will be sent to the Penn relay games April 30 in Philadelphia. The Agnes will come to Philadelphia May 14, and the Agnes will come to Missouri April 26. The Missouri Valley meet is to be held at St. Louis, May 27-28, and the Western conference meet is scheduled for June 3-4.
"So you see that's a pretty' stiff schedule. Now as to the personnel of the Kansas team, Captain Everett Bradley, Olympic hero, will be the main cog in the Jawwayhower machine, Eight other letter men, Massey and McMurphy, distance men, Coghill half miler, O'Leary, and Welah, quarter milers and relay. Heier, pole vaulter, and Sandefur, weight man.
"The chief weaknesses of the Kansas team lie in the sprints, the hurdles and the high jump." Armin, Woeesteyer and Paul O'Leary look like the best bets in the short distances. Roy may prey on them, but his hurdles and at rt Johnson, tennis captain, may require form in the high jump.
"Three cross-country runners, James, Patterson, and Wilson, will push McMurphy and Massey in the distance runs. Coghill and Welsh, Lydia Frost and Wesley and Doorking, look good in the quarter and half-mile runs.
"Sandefur, beety farmer, who heaved the shot 45 feet, 5 inches in Convention hall last year, thus establishing a record and winning a letter while a freshman, to a certain weight winner, radley and Pringle, will also work in the avidupids events. Sandefur, Bradley, and possible "Dutch" Lonberg will toss the javelin.
"Heier, with several 12 feet jumpets to his record, sees the class of the paddle vultures. Bradley, who jumped from a pole into the water, is in the best broad jump possibility.
"Yes, sir, the Jayhawks look powerful on paper, and they ought to hold out on the cinders and turf."
The Student Council at Simpson College, Iowa, has adopted the Honor System. Simmons College, Texas, is another institution where the same system has been adopted. In the later school, the vote was 448 to 40

When the ricketn rise on Drake—Kansas basket ball contest Friday night, the "first-nighters" will be watching two casts, the personnel, both ol which is for the most part unknown. Jawahryk followers are hoping for a successful opening performance, but they realize that inexperience may cause stage-fright or forgotten lines.
By "Snow" White
The status of the Des Moines school in the Missouri valley race is almost as indeterminable as that of the local institution. Only menager reports have been received concerning the prowess of the Des Moines school, and considerable doubt has been expressed regarding this silence. Some disciples of the hoop pastime claim that the Drake quinet is playing "possum."
The absence of Kansas conference and other games this year is noticeable, and it has been wished by many that Dr. Allen had contracted for some pre-season battles. However, many schools have played in smaller games, contending that early victories lead to over-confidence and stalence.
One thing has become evident in the fans' talk: whether we have a winning five or not, it will be well supported. Basketball for itself alone, is a popular pastime. The reason for this lies mainly in the vast amount of contact available to players; it surpasses the sport in this department; the pikskin game lacks many of the pretty maneuvers which basket球 throws upon. And when school spirit is present as rampant at present, it is no wonder that they dominate the home contests. And then—well, K, U, is going to have a fighting team.
There is a great deal of justice not seen on the surface in Dr. James Nai-snith's appointment to the basket ball rules committee of the N, I. A. A. A. The local gymnasium head, fat-farn as inventor of the indoor game, has been dealt with severely by some politicians of the national body, and his honorary life membership means that the association has taken matters into its own hands, and erased a blot from its exécutcheon.

Mandeville, Reid, Lonborg and Nettels Get Football Recognition
Four Kansas gridiron warriors appear on the football honor list of the January issue of the Outing Magazine. The Kansas men who were honored were "Dutch" Lonborg, quarterback, "Tad" Reid, end, "Mandy" Mandeville, halfback, and Captain Gear Nettles, tackle.
As the Honor List of the Outing magazine is an annual custom and is considered rather reliable, Kansas sport followers feel highly honored by having four men on the list. The list is not chosen by the players, but those who pick the men for their all around ability. Twelve valley men were listed. Missouri also placed four men on the list. Of the remaining four, Oklahoma placed three and Ames one. There were two noticeable mistakes in the article. One was that Oklahoma was named after the failure to name
any California men. The reason offered for the first mistake in which they said Oklahoma was defeated was that the 70 to 7 might have been a typographical error. They were on the list that was that Coast football was not seriously considered until the muchly overrated Ohio eleven supposedly aerial artists were defeated by California on New Years Day, and then the team that is ready gone to press and it was too late to change it.
Miss Elsie Pratt and Mr. Roy Miller were married December 29 in Wichita at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. Arch Naramore. The couple were unattended and immature until they got into their private car for Chicago where they will make their future home. The bride is a former student of the University of Kansas and a member of the Chi Omega sorority.
